That's right. And you're on break from school right now, correct? Two for two! Why don't you show us your scythe you're so famous for? And now, how about that speeder you raced in for your most recent race? Tune in next week folks for our next guest star!

Another ship has been added to the Sea Rat's fleet: The Catfish

This ship was built to represent The Catfish, a Sea Rat faction ship.

This ship has been updated.

This ship has been updated.

@SkaForHire There might be a couple more ships that got coded incorrectly. Both of these were trade vessels. Did they earn any DBs?

Love your use of a fleshie head to symbolize the pallor of death!

Hey, you hired Sinbad! I'll be expecting my Doubloons soon. And I love your build and story!

I also agree that keychain minifigures are allowed to count as "purist." Not the route I'd be willing to take, but if you are then go for it!

Thank you! Story now changed!

100 credits to EE please.

Ch5A - For Mardier Death Before Dinner | Sea Rats | MKJoshA | for Mardier

The Jade Piranha Strikes Again! The Parched Pirate Pirate Pet Shop Warped Wood The Captain's Dinner Still getting used to his new-found role, Sinbad had arrived in King's Port disguised as an Oleon officer. Somehow, Zheng's connections had made his papers seem official enough that the local mayor had invited him for dinner. Arriving early for the meal, Sinbad was admitted to the mayor's study where he was enjoying some fresh air while on the balcony of his study. Certain messages from the island had been intercepted by Mardian agents which implicated this mayor in trying to sign an agreement with Oleon for aid in Eslandola's war against Mardier. So Sinbad took care of the problem and escaped the confusion that ensued as the servants tried to figure out whether they still needed to serve dinner or not now that their master was dead. Full shot of the build:

Wow, that table with all the flasks and tubes is brilliant! I love how you used the Ninjago snake piece for twisting tubes, and the coffee mug to act as an elbow joint in the tubing. Amazing!

They do slide. You can see the difference between the first and third picture. They stick though so it's hard to open and shut them.

Love your build Wick! It has a very Star Wars vibe to it, but that's a good thing in this case. One question though, how are you able to reach E10? It doesn't appear that you have any spying equipment.

Thanks! The torso is actually from Lord of the Rings. It's Eomer's. Thank you for the advice! I have a relatively new DSLR and I'm still learning the ins and outs of the various settings. I've used SLRs many times in the past, but never for Lego photography so I feel like I'm still in the learning curve. I'll give your suggestions a try.

Thank you everyone! They are indeed meant to be tar pits. After hearing the recommendations for rounded edges instead of angled ones, I think I agree with you all. Thanks for the feedback and I'll keep it in mind for future builds! Also, I've updated the photos with ones with better lighting. Enjoy!

Story has been added!

Everything looks good to me now!

Love your story!

Location: H08 Sinden's Run Tags: Vehicle, Land Vehicle Last time, in Ender's story: Season 1 Season 2 A Man and His Dog Hamilton The Puffin Fight Night! Roomba Robot The Scurrier I Spy... ...Something Green and Red Inspired Action Sudden Geyser Galaxy Transport The Bentley Wheel Well Sushi Chef Down the Rabbit Hole Down the Rabbit Hole Part 2 Stable Rift Achieved OoC: Story coming tomorrow. The lab is re-used. The new build is further down. Still in Sinden's Run, Raven continued to receive updates on the situation with Ender... Rose and her troops arrived in the main lab a couple hours after Ender had made the leap through the rift. Considering that a Kawashita member had been sent through space and time in a secret Octan/MANTIS lab, no one was quick to point fingers. The MANTIS operative explained to Rose that they had been running some experiments on a new form of transportation. Ender had stumbled into the lab right as one of the final experiments was concluding. Before anyone from Octan or MANTIS had a chance to do anything, he had leaped through the rift. Rose asked why Octan and MANTIS were working together and she only got a run-around answer. She next asked if they had been able to figure out where in the galaxy Ender had been sent. The MANTIS operative said, "Well, we know he was sent to Earth..." "EARTH!" shouted Rose, "That's not in this galaxy!" "Yes, well, that's not the worst of it" continued the MANTIS employee. "We know where he was sent first, but our scientists may not have followed the proper procedures for an emergency of this nature and may have accidentally jumped him multiple times before they realized what was going on." "So," asked Rose, "Where is he now?" "We... uh..." stammered the MANTIS employee, "We don't know." Meanwhile, shortly after Ender had jumped after Yankee he found himself staring up at a sky he hadn't seen in years. He knew right away that he was on earth. He stood up and realized that he was on someone's lawn. And that person was staring at him. Hello there. Sorry about your grass... where am I? You're in Kansas of course, where did you think you were? And don't worry about the lawn, I just finished mowing that part so, no worries! I'm probably going to sound crazy, but can you tell me what year it is? Uh, 2017 of course. Did you hit your head? Are you okay? Ender thought to himself: Oh man. Octan and MANTIS must have managed to achieve time travel! What could they possibly be trying to accomplish? Out loud he said: Right, 2017, that means Lord... I mean President Business is no longer president, right? You really must have hit your head hard. President Business just got re-elected for another 40 year term. He and Mr. Cor just signed a long term business deal. But I thought this was the year that Kawashita's family company first came into prominence, not Mr. Cor's. I work for the Kawashita family. What! Yeah, they run a small manufacturing plant out of Japan. They just opened their first U.S. based branch here in Kansas. Is it a robotics or space-ship plant? What? No. We make parts for tractors. I doubt the Kawashita family has anything that big in mind. Well, I need to take care of my kid now. So if you're sure you're okay, I'll bid you good day! To himself Ender thought: All of history seems to have changed. What is going on here? Out loud he said: Uh, one more question sir. I'm looking for my dog. Have you seen a white terrier around here? Like the one that's behind you? Yankee! Come here! .
