Lady K

Welcome Special Forces Agent Echo! The Council Of Five has determined that you are ready for your security clearance and thus will now be able to access the private communications center.

Welcome Agent Echo Fox to M.A.N.T.I.S. Special Forces! Make sure you head over to the M.A.N.T.I.S. Training Camp and introduce yourself there as well.

Thank you.

Great story.....can't wait for the next part! Nice build as well.

Nice build. I love the detail in the back, the lighting gives a spooky feel.

Very nice build! I like the story as well. The building is great with the large MANTIS symbols on the outside.

Great story. I like the gyro cube! The whole build is well done with just the right amount of detail.

Love the vehicle and large MANTIS symbol. Looking forward to the story.

Good build and story as well. I really like Dr. Long's athletic wear, the suit looks like it was made for her. The bruise on her face after firing the gauntlet is a nice touch.

Thank you! I had added it in the main title when posting but forgot to include it in the post. Judges: if I added the tag on the main post too late for scoring, I'll understand.

Thank you. Glad you liked the story, it was about time I started to connect the builds. I liked how the light trans blue worked out. Thanks. You picked up on the mysterious plot. I tried a different lighting technique for dark (underground) shots. It didn't turn out as well as I had hoped but it did work. Just wish I had done better with the photography.

Hey Kia, who's your new friend? Hi Rex. This is ORB. Hello Rex. I am ORB, a highly trained warrior with many talents permanently assigned to Lady Kianna! Right, I get it....looks like you haven't lost your talent to attract wayward robots Kia. Greeting ORB of the new AI. Oh great, you haven't changed. Seems like your permanent cause is to cause me a great deal of trouble! You know it is Ba....Kia. What was that your were about to say?.....It was Babe wasn't it...you know how I feel about that! Kia, Kia Kia....you know I respect your professional side way to much for that. Hmmm...ok fine...this time. I see you haven't failed at getting me the parts I need for my ship. And we have some old outdated communication cubes for you, highly collectible for trading for.....the unique hard to find items we need. Oh Wow! I would really like to ride this.....maybe in my combat form...... Combat form!? Yes combat form and he really is formidable......when he behaves himself that is....... Lady Kianna....I really don't know what you are talking about....I always behave myself... Hmm........ Lady Kianna, will the new parts help us to find meaning in our lives? Find meaning in your lives? Seriously Kia.....I thought we settled that when we were young and training aboard the Obsidian? What is he talking about? Ugh! Ok fine! I feel as though all our missions don't make sense...there is no connection....no story behind it if you will....something is missing. So the new ship will help us bend time/space to find the relevance of what we have been doing.... Oh great...here we go again..... to see how each mission fits with the previous one or the next one.... Kia.....Babe.... ? and find some sort of.....I don't know....story behind it all. Then everything will be.... BABE... ? in it's appropriate place and time. So....that's why we need the parts! Really Kia....you need to get out more and have fun. Too many serious clandestine missions really messes up proper brain function you know! Go riding with me...you do still ride don't you? Don't You? Um, well, it just that I have been really really busy on very important missions for the Council Of Five....so..... Right......Well, when your ready, you know where to find me. Thanks for the comm cubes. See ya round ORB. Later ...... Lady Kianna, what is 'Babe' ? What does it mean? What? Wait,...why do you ask ORB? Because Rex called you Babe. He What!? He called you Babe....twice. HE WHAT!? Um, called you babe....twice...why is the connect tunnel suddenly darker....? Babe.....twice......fine if thats how he wants things.....I'll show him who's not to be called Babe when I kick his As..... Where does this tunnel lead anyway...I don't think I have ever been down here before...not that I am trying to distract you or change the subject or anything.... Hmmm....you will see..... Oh, my where are we? And what is that you are carrying? And why didn't I see it before? This my friend it at the bottom of the research station hidden on Aeristus. This room is a combination wind tunnel and vertical wind tunnel for testing military equipment in flying conditions. Today we will use it for.......well you'll see. Go over to the two control panels and flip those switches. Ok. This will be easy breezy.....no matter how many years it has been....watch out mr. smart as.... Ready Lady Kianna. Flip the switches ORB! YES! I knew it would be easy......NO NO NO LADY KIANNA! I'm fine......just straightened up too much.....I think... Let's go again! Balance, girl, balance......BALANCE... UGH, UGH, UGH.......balance, yea right! Lady Kianna, are you sure this is safe? Shouldn't you be wearing safety gear of some sort? I mean you said you were younger then........ ORB....don't finish that sentence. Age has nothing to do with it....really....! Again! Ok....focus, focus, focus and balance.....I.....have.....got....this......! ORB.... hit the sound system...... and dim the lights.......Oh Yeah! Lady Kianna, are you sure that's a good idea? Yes ORB....and don't distract me....this really isn't as easy as it looks... Ok, ORB....kill the main lights...and turn up the music! Ok.....I think. YES! Rebellion is here......watch out Rex, because I do know where to find you....... Sorry for the long post. I thought it was time for some back story on Lady Kianna. Hope you enjoyed it. C&C always welcome.

Welcome to M.A.N.T.I.S Jayce. Make sure you stop by the chow hall and get the larvae before they are all gone!

The horrors! Vacuum and Lego bring back bad memories from my childhood....... My Lego likes to slide under furniture and in places not easy to get too. And then when your not looking they place themselves right where you will step with bare feet!

I'll be there in space, Space, SPACE! theme.

Now if you have hard wood floors like me then spilled pieces go sliding all over the place.

Thanks. Actually, I have had these for awhile. Having this many grass stems is quite useful, except when they spill everywhere. Thank you. I really like the look of the grass stems arranged in piles as it gives a more uneven wild appearance to a grasslands landscape. Thank you.

Such a sad story.......you represented it very well in your build. The apartment has a simple elegance to it, you can feel the mining emotions. Excellent shot with the phone hitting the tv.

Love the story, can't wait for the next part! Great office too......with a view (window) and no very large loud air vents or steep stairs to climb....

A very nice little build with just the right amount of detail to keep it interesting and yet simple.

Nice build. I really like the foliage, good use of color with the pinks and purples. Neat ship as well.

Good story and mining next to a wall....and they are still on a plate.

Nice combat suit.

Nice build. Can't wait to see what the claim is for.....

Very well done. Those flame pieces really pop out in a black light! And I love the Spider!
