The scenes, storytelling, photography, and presentation are all awesome! Poor H3....

What a fantastic vehicle! It's so novel and original! Also, great terrain! That poor Kawashita employee never stood a chance from getting steamrolled!

It's so clean and elegant that it's easy for one to forget how large this build actually is. There's so many wonderful techniques and usage of very difficult to use bricks in this vehicle that really make it outstanding. I also now firmly believe that you cannot make a vehicle that does not have some sort of storage capacity.

Great vehicle; I love the shape and feel of it! And, as always, wonderful presentation!

HAHA! Great vehicle! Great story!

This is so beautiful, my eyes won't stop bleeding.

Eshey, with the help of Kawashita technology, has destroyed lifeforms on F02. http://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=111704

Location: F02 - Lesser Drigo Tags: Vehicle, Land Vehicle, Exploration, AG, Octan ++Eshey Reeshia Kolai, personal log, start recording++ Andromeda is steadily becoming developed, although some would say exploited instead. In any case, it's clear that the three major corporations are on a collision course as they expand towards each other's sphere of influence. Already there have been incidents, such as the discovery of a M.A.N.T.I.S. spy in one of our labs on Lesser Drigo (http://www.eurobrick...howtopic=111380), the disappearance of our robots, also on Lesser Drigo (http://www.eurobrick...owtopic=111350]), the hi-jacking of our biomass harvests on Jurin II (http://www.eurobrick...howtopic=111361), and a confrontation that resulted in the deaths of two Octan employees on Arium Major (http://www.eurobrick...howtopic=111267). Some within Octan have advocated for conflict while coolers heads have sought for more diplomatic solutions. My opinion is that we have enough problems with the dangerous fauna here in Andromeda and that we shouldn't have to worry about shadow conflicts with the other corporations. Already I have been attacked by an alien snow monster (http://www.eurobrick...howtopic=110681), and have preempted attacks by obliterating alien cactus monsters (http://www.eurobrick...howtopic=110932). I don't even believe how I was able to survive the last mission when an alien was eating my spaceship while I was still in orbit (http://www.eurobrick...howtopic=111341[/url]), but that is a story for another log. And this just as a temp. As much as I want a permanent position at Octan...you know, job security and benefits and all that...I'm afraid of the type of assignments I'd get as one. The good news is that there appears to be elements within the Kawashita corporation that are open to cooperation with Octan. While a formal press release has not been put out officially stating that our companies are cooperating, unofficial inter-corporate events have been sponsored to foster good will. Maybe...just maybe, these will lead to official collaborations between Kawashita and Octan. My mentor, Pombe, has...how shall I put this...graciously sacrificed himself to attend a "meet and greet" with an all female...and all absolutely gorgeous...Kawashita sales and marketing team. Octan is hosting the event on the tropical paradise of Jurin II. He even sent a picture to show how hard he's working. He serves as a great example for us all.... As for me, I've been assigned to meet with Kawashita engineer, Alexander Vandangant, and inter-corporate relations officer, Ava Gato. We are lucky that Alexander was available at all, considering how busy he was setting up a Kawashita geology lab on Marden (http://www.eurobrick...howtopic=111650), but he was able to make time in his schedule to come all the way out to the Axle. Fortunately, that cutie Big Z will be with me as Alexander showcases his latest design in robotics engineering. Who needs a tropical paradise when you've got him around, right? Oh...the meeting will start soon and I have to get ready. ++Eshey Reeshia Kolai, personal log, stop recording++ ++Start data transmission++ Big Z and I meet with Ava and Alexander aboard the O.C.S. Axle. Greetings from Octan. Thank you, Ava and Alexander, for coming all this way to share your latest design with us. Thank you for having us! Also, be aware that I'm not allowed to share any proprietary Kawashita secrets, so what I will be showing you won't be equipped with top secret Kawashita hardware or software. We understand and are still grateful for your generosity and time. Kolai-san and Z-san, to celebrate this occasion, Alexander and I have brought our special Kawashita reserve premium rice wine. Excellent! Um...I don't drink. To refuse such a great and precious gift would be an immense dishonor to Kawashita and may affect the future relationship of our companies. Alrighty...I'll have a sip.... Excellent. Wait...hold on...why is the room spinning? I'm sitting down, right? Right? Whooaaaaaaaaa.... [Time passes] I'm up! I'm up! What...where am I? We're in an engineering bay where Alexander was about to unveil his latest robotics engineering achievement. We are glad you could rejoin us, Kolai-san. I present the Kawashita CHI-B1 hardsuit, developed to be a versatile and protective powered-armor suit for harsh and dangerous environments. In other words, when you put it on, you become hard. I beg your pardon? The purpose of a hardsuit is to make one hard, is it not? Well...I suppose when you put it that way.... This is great work, Alexander! Does it come with other weapon options? Of course! Instead of the gun and sword you see here, you can mount missile pods, artillery cannons, and anti-aircraft weapons on any of the hard points. Your hardsuit has hard points. It sounds very hard. I do not understand Kolai-san. Hardness can only be felt, not heard. Please, try it on and feel the hardness. Do you feel hard, Kolai-san? Yes...yes, I do. How about you, Z-san. Would you like to try it on and become hard? I'm always hard. Excellent. A hard man is good to find. That's not how that phrase goes...oh nevermind.... Since we are in orbit over planet F02, why don't Kolai-san and Z-san take the hardsuit out for a test? I'd love to, but I need to check up on some water absorption drones I've placed on the planet surface (http://www.eurobrick...howtopic=111648). Very well, how about I accompany Kolai-san to help her search for water on the planet? Sure, I'd love to have you join me. These odd lifeforms seem to like the heat from the nearby volcanoes. Unfortunately, Kolai-san, I don't seem to be detecting any water. KILL THEM! KILL THEM ALL! Kolai-san, these lifeforms do not appear predatory nor dangerous. Perhaps your Dr. Long would like live specimens to examine? KILL THEM! KILL THEM ALL! As you wish. DIE!!! DIE!!! DIE!!! ++End data transmission++ Next: More pics under the spoiler tag.

Incredible build, I love the stairs! Also great story! How will Scorpio get out of this one?

What an awesome drill! I love the NPU for the legs! Brilliant story as always! HAHA!

Great plane! And what a great idea for the wings!

Great story and great usage of parts for the excellent drone!

Brilliant! Wonderfully executed, especially the stairs and the water!

Wow. Really. This is an awesome build. Poor Mister S, having to go back to the drawing board. But getting to work in a garage like that, maybe it's not so bad.

Great scenes! I especially love the beach one. Also great story! I'm glad Guy was able to get out of that predicament!

Beautiful MOC! And brilliant narration...I feel like I'm entering the world of tomorrow!

Great buggy, great presentation, and great story!

I really like the shape of your ship! It's got a heavy duty feel about it, which I might copy. Also, great story! Poor Dr. Long! Between being stalked by fans and dealing with employees not following corporate regulations and making a mess of her ship, she has it rough!

33 to Bob!

Eshey has explored the orbital space around E02 - Jurin II. http://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=111341

Location: E02 - Jurin II Tags: Exploration, Spaceship, AG, Octan ++Start data transmission++ Octan apprentice explorer Eshey Reeshia Kolai reporting in on behalf of my mentor, explorer Pombe. I am executing an exploration mission on behalf of my mentor because he is, according to his own words, "out of town this week". I don't even know what that means. Being here in Andromeda, we are already out of town, so I don't know how much further out of town he can be. In fact, he can be frustratingly obtuse, and I'm not certain it's intentional. He just doesn't make much sense most of the time. I mean...I am happy to have a job at all, of course. Given my lack of industry experience, I was surprised to be hired at all, even as a temp. Though, to be honest, I had hoped to apprentice for Lu Caslaug-Hing, my personal hero and an inspiration to women everywhere. Or Wick Nole or Jacques LaRose, both of whom are famous explorers. But nope, I got Pombe. In my short time here, I've learned two things from him: be armed and shoot first. I did get written up by Dr. Long for destroying several plant samples during our last mission (http://www.eurobrick...howtopic=110932), but I wasn't taking any chances. I have no idea why Pombe doesn't see the danger in our missions. Those alien cactus monsters almost killed the legendary Wick Nole (http://www.eurobrick...howtopic=111084)!!! Right now, he is still recovering (http://www.eurobrick...howtopic=111327). I hope he makes it. Octan can't afford to lose an explorer like him. That cutie, Big Z, is nice enough to equip me with some military grade hardware, which I'm certain I will depend on from now on. Too bad I hear he is dating Pombe's former apprentice, Isabel. Ah wells.... Anyways, I've just arrived at planet E02 and established orbit. Also known as Jurin II, this planet is mostly ocean with many island chains where jungles grow. Current reports indicate that it is a tropical paradise, but I am here to confirm reports of awesomnium deposits on the planet. I'm not much of a pilot, so I'm glad John Hannibal was able to give me some pointers. Pombe had left me this little cramped spaceship to use. I asked him why I didn't get to pilot a better spaceship and his reply was that he "had less than an hour to build and photograph a spaceship before leaving to catch his flight" and he further remarked that I should be happy that the engines were attached by more than one stud. Huh? I told you he doesn't make sense. He also warned me about the alien I would encounter in orbit, which made no sense, unless it was also in a spaceship, since nothing could survive in space. He said something about an "exploration bonus" but I wasn't able to ask him more about it before he left. Again, he makes no... [LOUD THUD] WHAT WAS THAT?!?!?! $%@%^$#^^*%&%$$^^*%^@$!@#%%&*&*&^#!!! Holy avocados!!! There's an alien on my port side engine!!! Is it...is it eating the ship?!?!?! Aaaaaaaah!!! It's staring right at me!!!!!! WHY IS THIS HAPPENING TO ME?!?!?!?!?! sssshhshshhhs...ksshshshshhssshhhhhhhhhhh...kkkkkkkkkssshhhhhhhhhhhh... ++End data transmission++ Next:

113 (which I think is everything I have) to Bob!

NPU on the Elves hair. The choice of lavender and white on the rocks really make the flora pop. The rock work is just plain beautiful. What gets my attention is the way you've done the waves both out at sea and crashing onto the rocks. Phenomenal! All around, this is a beautiful, beautiful MOC.

Sheesh. Everything you build is outrageous in it's spectacularity. Everything. I'm not jealous of your talent, ability, or vision. Not in the slightest. Nope.
