Sir, is everything alright? Hello Ishmael, everything is fine. In fact, I was about to watch Hombre field test a new mech design. Why don't you join me? I'd love to, sir. Hmm. It doesn't seem that he has any sort of control interface for the mech. Is he controlling with telepathy? Is such a thing possible? No no, Ishmael. I wish. Hombre's actually controlling the mech with his gluteal muscles using an interface on the seat. The seat can detect when he contracts and relaxes his gluts. Well, I do know from experience that Hombre has fine control over those muscles. As do I, Ishmael. As do I. Comments and criticisms are all welcome!

Before I begin, I'd like to thank the entire staff, past and present, for Andromeda's Gates. Prior to AG, I was sort of in a Dark Age limbo, where I would buy LEGO, but not really do any building. AG got me out of building one MOC maybe once every three months to building one every week for over a year and half. I understand the drive by AFOL's to build spectacular LEGO showcases. I do. There are so many awesome builders on Eurobricks, with many of them playing AG, such as (and definitely not limited to) shmails, Narbilu, and LucByard, who serve as inspirations for the community. However, I do want to make a statement for the rest of us who want to participate and contribute in a meaningful way, but aren't up to those high standards. I consider myself a mediocre LEGO builder at best, and the AG scoring system has allowed me to contribute heavily to my team despite of my lack of skill. That's not to say I haven't improved. Those four point builds took a lot of work for me at the beginning. When I started out in AG, it would take me over 10 hours to put those together. Now, with over 60 MOCs of practice, because of AG, I can do the same thing in 2-3 hours. And even after a year and half of building, I still have a long way to go before I can compare myself to the likes of shmails. Maybe shmails has years on me in terms of building with LEGO. Or maybe I'm just a slow learner. Or maybe he's just a genius in a way I could never be. No matter what, though, I know I'm not on his level. I want to make it clear that I don't want to take anything away from builders like shmails. I want to see their awesome MOCs and see that they earn crazy points for them. I don't want them to leave AG2, because they feel the game is filled with mediocre builds from players like me and that their contributions don't earn as much as they should. But I also want to contribute and be able to tip the scales in favor of my team. So I hope that AG2 has a scoring system that will allow for the recognition of truly spectacular builds and allows for me to build also. Meanwhile, I hope that the game will challenge me to grow as a builder and improve so that one day I might be on shmails' level (one can dream).

Hey, Gregory. Is something wrong? It's midnight. Lois got worried and asked me to look for you. I'll say. It's midnight, but the sky's still blue. (The base is recycled and should not be judged) Anyways, you said Lois sent you? Yeah, she mentioned that you seemed a bit down. I guess. I mean...it's been over a year since we've come to Andromeda. And really...what has any of the corporations done? I'm just feeling like we haven't really achieved anything. You found Lois in Andromeda. That's true. It's just that...well...I mean...besides me getting the super powers to fold paper really really fast, I really haven't improved much as a corporate employee. I think I know just what you need, Gregory. And here it comes now, though a tad late. What is it? It's the midnight train going anywhere. Thanks! This is exactly what I needed.

Everything is numb. My brain is numb. My nose is numb. I have no idea how the events in my life has lead me to this point. And I can't remember a smell that is not flaming poop. The only way for us to escape the poop bouncer was to build this poop shuttle to get off the poop asteroid. Yes. Yes...I know. Or I think I do. Or maybe I don't really know. Let me guess...there's something that could still go wrong. Well, yes. The entire shuttle could burn up before we make it back. Afterall, the only fuel we could find is poop, so the shuttle is currently burning itself for propulsion. Of course...that makes sense. Or maybe it doesn't? I can't even tell anymore.

Personnel Files: Previously: http://www.eurobrick...howtopic=138634 Currently, aboard the Carrack class cruiser Seeker in orbit above Tatooine... <door hisses closed> Captain, you wanted to see me? TK-8554, yes. I've read the report from Sergeant Dooze regarding your first assignment. You acquitted yourself quite well. Thank you, sir. It seems that Dooze has even given you a callsign. It's rare for Razer Squad rookies to earn their callsigns during their first assignment. You must have really made an impression. If you say so, sir. Some say our methods are ruthless, that we destroy freedom in the name of oppression, but those are weak minded fools. We do not seek to oppress. You have to understand the fundamental principle of the Tarkin Doctrine, you see. The Tarkin Doctrine, sir? The idea that one should rule through the fear of force, rather than force itself. Which is why examples must occasionally be made, such as with the planet of Alderaan and with the Rebel sympathizer that you took care of. Freedom cannot be obtained without order, and order cannot be established without fear. I understand, sir. Excellent. Anways, I just wanted to commend you on a job well done. Go on, then. Return to your duties. Yes, sir. All comments and criticisms welcome!

Dramatis Personae: Do I even want to know what you guys are working on? Hi, Honey! I'm not your honey. You two can get a room later. Beautiful Man and I are busy working on our entry for the Space Olympic land race. Let me guess: you guys are working on a "spaceship" that is really some sort of land vehicle or vice versa. Sigh...you never seem to get with the program, Eshey. Anyways, the boss and I are building a soapbox car for the race. Here, let me get in. How do I look, Honey? I'm not sure which I should be more shocked by; the fact that this is an actual land vehicle or the fact that you plan on racing a car with no means of propulsion in the Space Olympics. What do you mean no propulsion? A soapbox car is powered by the most powerful force in the universe: gravity. What? Can you honestly tell me that there is a more powerful force in the universe than gravity? Well, there is one thing, sir: love. Hmm...that's true. Love is a more powerful force than gravity. See? That's why you're my favorite employee, Beautiful Man. Comments and criticisms are all welcome!

Dramatis Personae: Hey, guys. What are you working on? Bruce and I are working on a race car for our entry into the GARC event for the Space Olympics. Yes. I've spent months on the engine block and transmission. I really wanted to design a classic muscle car that Hombre would admire. In fact, he's test driving it right now. Uh. You know that the GARC is a spaceship race, right? There you go again with your usual nonsense, Eshey. Anyways, here comes Hombre, bringing her back around the track. It's a spaceship! The confusion is understandable, Miss Kolai. It's engine runs so hot that it's exhaust pipes shoot out blue-white flames, which you might confuse for thrusters.

What's wrong?! WHAT'S WRONG?!?! I'M RIDING IN A MECH MADE OUT OF POOP RUNNING AWAY FROM A POOP ALIEN WHO IS SHOOTING FIRE AT US!!! THAT'S WHAT'S WRONG!!! Well, how was I supposed to know that the poop alien gentlemen's club had a no touching policy? The only materials on this poop asteroid for me to make a mech for us to escape in was poop, so it's not as if we had many options. Sheesh...this poop alien bouncer sure is persistent.

Dramatis Personae: And here is one of Octan's entries for the boat racing competition at the Space Olympic Games. WE'RE STANDING ON WATER!!! HOW ARE WE STANDING ON WATER?!?!?! That's not important. OF COURSE IT'S IMPORTANT!!! You're missing the point, as usual, Eshey. Anyways, the Mitgardians are renown navigators known for building ships famous for their speed and prowess. Therefore, I've asked Ethyl to build and man a Mitgardian longship for Octan. It's a shoe-in to win. Bqllr! I call her the Mitgardian Zephyr. She's fast and manuverable, and most importantly, she fits within the 20 stud length and 10 stud height requirements of the Games. Ethyl is going to race a primitive class of heavy sailship against other ships with advanced propulsion technology? Primitive? Sigh. Eshey...those other boats aren't Mitgardian. They can't win.
