Dramatis Personae: Currently, on the high seas... Where are you going?!?! Head to port, not starboard!!! Follow the convoy!!! I don't know which way is what! What's up with the port and starboard stuff?! Why you can't you just say left or right?! It's just how it is! Why did we even let you steer this boat? Oh, great...now we've strayed away from the escorts... YOUR OTHER PORT!!! It appears that the Escandolians have noticed that we have strayed from the group. Or are they Escandolans? It's like the citizens of Canada. Are they Canadans or Canadians? I can never get them right. What are you talking about?!?! There's no Canada here!!! Look! It's the Great Scott! It's turning back around to protect us! We're saved! Well, that just means she'll get captured. We're not supposed to know that, yet! Don't worry, the Escandol...er...the people of Escandola will return her to us. We're not supposed to know that, either!!! TIME TRAVEL!!! @$#%%&*^*@#%%&*#$@#$#^%#$#!!!

Chaaaaaaa chaaa chaaaaaaaaaa chaa chaa chaa chaaaaaaa! Chaaa chaa chaaaaa chaaaaaaaaaaa chaaaaa chaaa chaaaaaaa! Me, too, honey! I'm so happy to be featured in a SpacerSteve build! I'm smiling so hard!

Specs? I don't need no stinking spectacles! I have perfect vision! Hold on, what? Oh...erm...you mean like individual classes to make sure that starships with GATE engines don't race against small sublightspeed snub fighters? Lesse...1...2...3...when I count the studs from the pics they look like they are less than 18-ish studs in length and not as much wide. Um...I hope that helps. Yeah, that's an aftermarket accessory. You won't find them on a stock starship. But here's the ordering information: https://alpha.bricklink.com/pages/clone/catalogitem.page?P=15341&name=Arm%20Mechanical,%20Hero%20Factory&category=%5BMinifig,%20Body%20Part%5D#T=C.

Location: E01 - Donwarr Tags: Spaceship, Land Vehicle Dramatis Personae: Previously: http://www.eurobrick...howtopic=129901 Currently, on Donwarr... So let me get this straight: you're asking me to beat another pilot in an illegal spaceship race? When you put it like that, it doesn't sound so great. But you have to understand she's been ruining racer participation and our profits! And as the coordinator for the Kawashita Underground Racing Circuit, or KURC for short, I needed a way to resolve this situation. I was desperate, Sue. So what exactly happened? She just showed up one day and beat everyone. No one can beat her, and she's claimed that she won't leave until she loses. All of the other racers are too afraid to take her on. You're the only pilot I know who has what it takes to beat her. Sigh. It's not like I can turn you down when you ask for help, Shaniqua. I owe you so much for this. You did have it shipped over, right? Yep, she should be there waiting for me. How much further are we? Note the road is recycled and should not be judged. Note the road is recycled and should not be judged. It's just up ahead. There! There she is. And she's stolen all the hot guys, too! Note the road is recycled and should not be judged. Ishmael? You know her? Yeah, she's my wingman at Octan. It figures. Hold on. Ishmael? What are you doing here? Note the road is recycled and should not be judged. Sir? I should be asking you the same thing. I hear you've been tearing it up on the KURC. I've always been into underground spaceship racing, sir. It was what I did before I joined the Merchant Confederacy. When I got wind of this Kawashita circuit, I couldn't help myself. I even pulled my old racer out of mothballs and fixed her up even more with my Octan salary. Well, I've been asked to take you down, and I'll admit, now that I know it's you, I'm getting a bit excited. I even brought my own ride. Then let's do it. First one to go around the second moon and back wins. Winner gets the loser's ride. I hope you're ready to lose, Ishmael. That's my line, sir. I've always wanted to take you on. Then line them up, ladies. READY? GO!!! <ENGINES ROAR> Comments and criticisms are all welcome!

Location: H03 - Kaalin Tags: Spaceship, Land Vehicle Dramatis Personae: Previously: http://www.eurobrick...howtopic=128910 Currently, on Kaalin... Hombre, you're here, too? Do you know why he asked us to gather here? And do you know what the deal is with the pirate hats? You know what...nevermind. I don't even know why I bothered asking. It's not like you've ever spoken to me, anyway. <VRROOOOOOOM VRRRROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMM!!!> What in the avocado? Is that a giant rollerskate? Avast, me blind four-eyed wench! This be me precious pirate booty! Come! Touch the booty! FEEL THE BOOTY!!! RIDE THE BOOTY!!! ARRRRRR! WE BE SEEIN' YE LATERS, WENCH! <VRROOOOOOOM VRRRROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMM!!!> +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Meanwhile, somewhere in space... It's too bad you didn't join me at Kawashita after we left Galaxy Squad, Sue. Kawashita wouldn't promise me the freedom I need. That, and I couldn't find a manager there who didn't have a personal agenda. You always needed your freedom, Sue. I guess that's why everyone followed you the way they did. But some followed me to their deaths. Sue... Anyways, enough about the past. What was so important that you needed my help? Well... Comments and criticisms are all welcome!

Wow! Hired directly by SpacerSteve! I'm so happy!!!

Location: E01 - Donwarr Tags: Spaceship, Land Vehicle, Civil Building Dramatis Personae: Previously: http://www.eurobrick...howtopic=127982 Currently, above Donwarr... Thank you again, Pombe, for being a reference for Lois for her job application to M.A.N.T.I.S.! She just accepted their offer! We're so happy! Chaaachaaaaaaacha! Chaaaaaaaaachachaaaachaaaaaachaaaaa! Note the above build is recycled. No problem! It's been an absolute pleasure working with the both of you! In fact, I'm sad that you have to leave to go back to M.A.N.T.I.S.. We sure could use your help here at Octan. Those are such kind words, I'm so happy, I'm crying! Lois and I won't forget what you've done for us! This is all very touching, but what's this alien doing here?! Our analysis showed that we could save a lot of money on waste management at Octan if we hired Tracy to be director of custodial services. Hyer hyer hyer hyer. Hyer hyer. Hyer hyer hyer hyer hyer hyer hyer hyer hyer hyer hyer. Hyer hyer hyer hyer hyer hyer. Indeed, Tracy. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Currently, also above Donwarr... Note the planet is recycled. Note the Octan speeder is recycled. Captain Damoness, I've finally found you! Shaniqua Yamamoto! Long time no see! Here, have a drink! And please, don't call me Captain. We're not in Galaxy Squad anymore. I'm just Sue now. It's so good to see you again, Captain. Just Sue, please. Uh, sure, Ca...Sue. I'm here because I need your help. My help? Yes! Come with me, we have to hurry! Comments and criticisms are all welcome!

A most astute observation, Captain Braunsfeld! Yes, there is currently no in-game incentive to improve a MOC after it has already been photograph and presented for the masses. That's not to say that we don't care, however. Note the following feedback we received about the microbuild of the Absolutely Fabulous from Captain Genaro: LIMP SAILS!!! So the next time we presented the ship, we made sure to take that feedback into account, despite the fact that the ship itself was recycled and should not be judged for that particular challenge. So please keep that feedback coming! We probably won't respond, but we will consider it! We aren't mean and we don't bite! Willy, shut your mouth or I'll shut it for you! Well, except for Lucy...

Oh no! M.A.N.T.I.S. is going to take out all that bacon we placed on the surface of Kaalin! Don't you mean beacons, sir? Afterall, bacon can't detect awesomnium. Eshey, you have disappointed me yet again. Of course bacon can be used to detect awesomnium! And they are tasty, especially when lightly crisped along the edges, so you can eat them afterwards!

Location: E01 - Donwarr Tags: Exploration, Spaceship, Land Vehicle Dramatis Personae: Previously: http://www.eurobrick...howtopic=126602 Currently, on Donwarr... Thanks for the lift, Lois! Chaaachachaaaachaaa. Chaachaachaaachaaaaaaaachaaaaaa. Chaaa. <faaaaaaaaart> What was that?! <wet faaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrt> It would seem that the sausages I ate earlier are not agreeing with me. Oooooh...I'm not feeling so well... <wet sloppy ffffffaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrtttttttttt> Chaaacha! Chaachaachaaachaaaa! Chaaachaachaaaaaaaaa! Chaaaaaachaachaachaachaaaaaachaaaaachaaaa! I'm on it, dear! Scanning the ground! There! I found one! It's half a kilometer east of you! Transmitting coordinates, now! I don't think I'm going to make it! <super wet sloppy ffffffffffffffaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrttttttttttttttttttttt> Chaaachachaaaaaaaachaaachaaa! Chaachaacha! Chaaaaaa! Chaaaaaachaaaaachaaaa! <super slippery wet sloppy fffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrtttttttttttttttttttttttttt> Whew! <fart> <sploosh> <fart> <sploosh> <sploosh> <fffffffffffffffaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrttttttttttttttttt> <sploosh> <splooooooooooooooosh> Ahhh...so much better. Why is there a toilet out here in the middle of nowhere?!?! And why are we watching this?!?! Hmm...the toilet won't flush. Holy avocados!!! There's an alien! Hyer hyer hyer. Hyer. Hyer hyer hyer hyer hyer hyer hyer. Hyer. Hyer hyer hyer hyer. Hyer hyer hyer hyer hyer hyer hyer hyer. Your name is Tracy and you built this toilet? It seems to be broken. It's not flushing. Hyer hyer. Hyer. Hyer hyer hyer hyer hyer. Hyer. Hyer hyer hyer hyer. Hyer hyer hyer hyer. Oh, the handle is just for show. I see. I DON'T!!! Hyer hyer hyer. Hyer hyer hyer hyer hyer hyer hyer. Hyer hyer hyer hyer hyer hyer. Hyer. Hyer hyer hyer hyer hyer. Hyer hyer hyer hyer hyer hyer. I understand. Your alien species feeds on the fecal matter of others. So you build toilets all over to collect food so that you can feed. That makes total sense. HOW DOES THAT MAKE TOTAL SENSE?!?!?! Hyer hyer. Hyer hyer hyer hyer. Hyer hyer. Hyer. Hyer. Oh, you're hungry? No, go right ahead. Alright, let's leave Tracy to eat in peace. YOU NEVER WASHED YOUR HANDS!!! Comments and criticisms are all welcome!

NOTE TO JUDGES, THE ABSOLUTELY FABULOUS IS RECYCLED AND SHOULD NOT BE JUDGED. So...um...it's just a sky with a cloud...and a partial boat deck...hmm... Dramatis Personae: Previously, http://www.eurobrick...howtopic=122535... Currently, somewhere on the high seas... Sir, they're trying to run! The Absolutely Fabulous is making a break for it! Get the crew to work the sails harder, Helmut! I'm not losing him again! Yes, sir! Oh, you are a sly one, Alois. You probably thought that I wouldn't track you all the way from Le Bellan to the Nest of Thieves. And you probably thought you would lose me when you cleverly swapped ships with the Mardier. But no...I will never let you go. You belong to me. You have always belonged to me... Sir? They're getting away. CURSES! Dieter, how are they getting away? We have the faster ship! For the same reason we have trouble with the Corringtons, sir. Red ones go faster. OUTWITTED AGAIN! Not only did you swap ships with the Mardier to try to throw me off your trail, but you got your hands on a ship painted red! Only Alois Bieber has the tactical acumen to outmanuever me, Captain Harriet Schwartz! And this...this is why...why...I love him. You can't run away forever...you will be mine...yessssss...mine... Sir? Who are you talking to? Just ignore her, lass. She gets like this from time to time. Comments and criticisms are all welcome!

Dramatis Personae: Previously, http://www.eurobrick...howtopic=122535... Currently, near Rasillon... As part of our service requirements to the university, we've been asked to contribute to the defense of the settlement of Rasillon. What university?! There's no university! In fact, we haven't built anything in a month! PROCRASTINATION!!! The last thing we did was sing and dance our way out of a Mardier prison! LIKE A PONY!!! The entries for Challenge 2 are due now, so here we are. Anyway, since Wilhemina is a civil engineering student, I've asked her to design and construct defensive structures to protect our future campus location. Wilhemina, if you'd please. Thank you, professor. Right now, we're standing on top of a bunker I've designed and built, which guards part of the coastline of The Nest of Thieves around Rasillon from would-be invaders. It's designed with a sloped front to deflect incoming enemy fire and has had the entire surrounding area leveled and cleared to eliminate hiding places and cover that may be used by enemy sappers. It's armed with a pair of 36-pound cannons and is connected to other similar bunkers via a network of trenches that will allow friendly troops and supplies to move safely from one structure to the next. Excellent work! I...I have to say...I'm impressed, Willy. Thank you, professor. Thank you, Lucy. I've always found siegecraft concepts to be interesting, so I was happy to get the opportunity to apply it for once. Moving down these stairs, inside the structure there is space for a bunk, a weapons rack, and food stores so that a small contingent of troops can be garrisoned here, maintaining watch over the coastline. You did this all within a month? By yourself? That's a lot of stone. How did you manage to pull this off? Stone? What stone? According the rules of the challenge, I had to make due with the limited resources available at this point of the game. This structure is made of sand. SAND CASTLE!!! @$#%%&*^*@#%%&*#$@#$#^%#$#!!! YOU BUILT BUNKERS OUT OF SAND?!?! Yes? I...I don't even. First, it's not going to stop @#$%^$!@%^%@. And what happens when it rains?!?! Oh, huh...rain. I knew I forgot to account for something...

My my my, more Sea Rats. It seems that I need to get off my tin can and make more progress to promote higher learning amongst the pirates. Higher learning? From you? Yeah, right. Welcome, everyone! MINIDOLLS AND WEREWOLVES!!! An open mind is a superior mind, Alois. Let's observe to see how far the envelope goes, hmm? You stupid professor! This is the Pirates Forum: a place for serious builders! Which game do you think we're in, Andromeda's Gates?!

Location: E01 - Donwarr Tags: Exploration, Spaceship, Land Vehicle, Civil Building Dramatis Personae: Previously: http://www.eurobrick...howtopic=125357 Currently, on Donwarr... Thank you, Lois and Gregory, for coming all the way to Donwarr to help Eshey and me test Octan's new unbattlemech. Chaaaaaachachaaaaa. Chaaachaaachaaaaaaaaaa. Thank you for inviting us! I'm so happy to be here helping you guys! I'm smiling so hard it hurts! So, where is it? What's an unbattlemech? Here it is. Sir, I think I've seen that design before from another corporation. Maybe even from two. It looks like either the Ostall or the Locust mechs I've read about. Shhhhh! Eshey, I would like to you unsee that design, unread what you've read, and unknow that you ever knew that information. Anyways, we call it the Unlocust. Also, Gregory, I wanted to thank you for making this very nice paper house for us to stay in during this test. No problem! I figured the field test might take a few days, and we needed a place to stay and relax. You're always thinking ahead, Gregory. And finally, thanks for observing the test from above. I'm always happy to help! I know I can count on you, Gregory. Eshey, are you ready for the field test? Sir? Why are there hexagons on the ground? That's the hex grid. It's always been there. In fact, every map we've ever been on has a hex grid. You've seen the dynamic galaxy map for Andromeda, correct? Are you alright, Eshey? Now, Eshey, push the movement throttle forward and start moving. Uh...nothing is happening, sir. That's because you aren't facing a hex side. You can't move between hex sides like that...at least not with the basic rules. What basic rules?! What are you talking about?! Chaaachaachaaaachaachaaaaaa. Chaaachaaaaaaacha. Chaaaaaaa. Yeah...Eshey's not the most astute employee at Octan. Holy avocados! An alien just showed up! Eshey, no! Firing weapons! <pew pew> I hit it! Wait...why is it still alive? You did five damage to its front left leg armor with your medium laser. Your two machine guns missed, which was expected, since they were fired at long range. What? What are you talking about? I'm saying that you didn't do all that much damage, Eshey. In fact, you didn't even do any damage to its internal structure or generate a critical hit. And even for someone with a gunnery skill as high as yours, hitting something at long range is always tough. That doesn't make any sense! And what are you talking about? Why did you say I only have two machine guns when I count six barrels? Chaaaaaaaaaaa... Tell me about it, Lois. At least you're not her supervisor. Anyway, you need to penetrate the armor to inflict damage to its internal structure for a chance at a critical hit. And three hexes is long range for the machine guns. Oh, now you've made it mad. It looks like it's approaching you. It's too late now, I guess you have to take it down. Try to get behind it so you can expose its rear armor. Hmm...you're going to have to work on your piloting skills. You're not even close to getting behind it. I'm going to kick it! Eshey, wait! Your piloting ski... URK!!! ...ll sucks... Chaaacha. Chaaachaaaachaaaaaaaaaaaaa. Chaaachachachaaaaaaaaaaachaaa. Your flowers aren't doing so well? Maybe they need more water. You can't water paper flowers! Comments and criticisms are all welcome!

Nope, you're all clear, sir. Have fun with the operation! Well then, shall we proceed? Gregory's marrying the alien?!?! Is this even legal?!?! Of course, it is. Comments and criticisms are all welcome!

Location: F09 - Arium Minor Tags: Exploration, Spaceship, Land Vehicle, Civil Building Dramatis Personae: Previously: http://www.eurobrick...howtopic=122841 Currently, on Arium Minor... You're sure you don't need air support, sir? We're good, Sue. Gregory made us some awesome paper mechs. Alright, sir. Good hunting. Maybe having Sue cover us would have been a good idea, sir. Nonsense! Have you seen the mechs Gregory folded for us? Gregory? Where are you? He's right next to us! Apologies. I made my mech in M.A.N.T.I.S. colors, which is predominantly black, so it's naturally impossible to see. I understand. Corporate branding is an important lesson I keep trying to teach Eshey, but she never seems to understand. Thanks, though, for making ours in Octan colors. No problem! I'm so glad you like it! I can't stop smiling! Uh...sir...we seem to be approaching some sort of alien settlement. Who...who is that? She's so beautiful! Wow! I'll say! Chachaachaaaaaaa. Chaaaaachaachaaaaachaaaa. Chaaaaa. Chaaaaaaaaaa. Chaachaaachaachaa. Chaaaaaaaaaachaaachachachaachaaa. Your name is Lois and you're a regulatory compliance officer for an alien corporation? You live here by yourself? Chaachaachaachaaaachaachaachaaaaa. Chaachaaaachaachaaaaachachaaaaaa. Chachaaaaa. Chaaaaaachaaaaa. Chaachachaaachaachaa. Chaaaachaaaaaaachachaachachachaachachaaaaaaaa. Why thank you! I think you are very attractive also. I'm sorry that you are lonely. If it helps...I think I would like to stay here with you. Chaaachaaaaaaa. Chaaaaachaaaa. Chaa. Chaaaachaaaaaaa. Chaachaa. Chaachaaachaachaaa. You'd like that, too? Sir! Permission to stay here with the alien hottie. Permission granted. I'll inform Pombie that you have decided to stay behind in this alien settlement. Thank you, sir! Comments and criticisms are all welcome!
