These are all gorgeous! The shaping is absolutely fantastic! ~Insectoid Aristocrat

For future reference, or, at least, clarification, can a "Civil Building" be of an Alien origin? Does the civil building have to belong to my corporation, or could it be the private domicile of a peaceful Alien? ~Insectoid Aristocrat

I wouldn't cheer just yet... his ordeal may not quite be over. Thanks for the praise. Glad you like the Retriever! Thanks! ~Insectoid Aristocrat

See you nice simple build. Clean and we'll shot. The story is great! I love how you're handling the sci-fi society in your builds. Amusing, and also well thought through. That Swedish show looks interesting. ~Insectoid Aristocrat

Lovely build! Really delightful Japanese inspired architecture! As always, the build is stylish and we'll photographed! The story is quite funny! That poor lonely Kawashita scientist! ~Insectoid Aristocrat

Haha! Great build! Love the use of the old Classic Space figures as Kawashita disguises! The monorail and the backdrop are lovely! Great work! ~Insectoid Aristocrat

First off, super build! As always, it's stylistically flawless, and perfect. The gathering sand is well conveyed. It looks like it's sweeping across the light grey tiled floor as I type! Second off... holy cap this story is frightening. I love it! Reminds me of Alien. Very concerned for the characters! ~Insectoid Aristocrat

Wicked build. This new shot of the landscape is nice. It allows me to pick up on small details I previously missed, like the gentle lapping of the waves against the sand. It very well done. Sells the scene expertly. The ship itself is also very awesome! The styling and colour usage are top notch! Brilliant idea on the tread tire. Makes it look like a hovercraft! Awesome. ~Insectoid Aristocrat

Lovely build! The slick corporate transporter is great! Very smooth. The street scene is also quite nice! Similarly smooth, and we'll detailed. The repeating elements lend a nice sci-fi feel. Great work! ~Insectoid Aristocrat

Wow. Now I'm really envious you didn't join Octan. Great story! Very well written... it makes me want to freshen up my own writing style. The build is clean and elegant. My only critique would be on the landing gear of the bike. The 2-2 cylindrical sliding parts seem a bit clunky on a vessel that size. It's still great though! ~Insectoid Aristocrat

Lovely ship. The shaping is nice, and as Epsilon pointed out, that Cockpit design is pretty clever! Actually a bit unexpected, coming from you, considering your focus on legal connections. Idk if that counts or not. ~Insectoid Aristocrat

Nice build and the report is fun! the ship's shape is unique. You can tell that it's a pretty massive one. My one critique would be that the head is a little too blocky. ~Insectoid Aristocrat

Thanks! I just stumbled upon it while fiddling with some parts on my desk... kinda the best way to figure out things, if you ask me! You may have picked up on a plot point... Thanks! I hope the story is enjoyable. You agree? Good to hear. I'm not sure whether to stick with black rocks or grey. Grey looks better with the tan and nugget, but black is more volcanic. I suppose I can use the two in separate builds on Onix, but won't try to mix the two in the same build again.... unless it's a very large build... Thanks, and Thanks! ~Insectoid Aristocrat

Nice little chair... looks like Kawashita found the same ancient alien tech as my guys! ~Insectoid Aristocrat

This build is very nice. I like Yat it allows for a few nice dramatic shots of your character. The story developmenthat are really cool, though. Looking forward to what this leads to! ~Insectoid Aristocrat

No problem! Glad I could help! ~Insectoid Aristocrat

Action forum. It's all there. http://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?showforum=119 http://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=112721 ~Insectoid Aristocrat

Final pictures are up. Sorry everyone for the awful presentation, originally. Comments and critiques are more than welcome! ~Insectoid Aristocrat

Story and somewhat better pictures are up. Even better pictures will be uploaded tomorrow. ~Insectoid Aristocrat

This is a MANTIS planet!" Dr. Edris: "I suppose you haven't heard then? This planet now belongs to Octan... again. You're in a position unsuitable to giving orders." Dave: "Hmm. Well it wasn't when you unlawfully assaulted me. I demand to be released at once! You've held me two weeks too Long!" Dr. Edris: "Huh. Well, I guess you'll have to file a complaint regarding mistreatment with the department of Legal issues." Dave: "Finally. Get me the forms." Dr. Edris: "Can't. You're scheduled to be sent off to Farmolis to face trail for participation in overt corporate espionage, and hijacking Octan robotics." Dave: "So you can't just hand me the forms."
