Tags: Science, Spaceship Planet: F03, Foring The sun shined brightly in the field where the meeting was to be held. The Merchant Confederacy had decided a plantation on Foring (one belonging to a wealthy local client of theirs) as the place where the talks would be held. They had prepared a platform in the field. They had chosen a gains using the plantation itself as the facility was atmosphere controlled, and the air was not conducive to extended breathing by those with lungs... A bizarre ship descended from the heavens, carrying one of the two ambassadors of the Confederacy. Dr. Long and her colleagues has assembled before the platform, engaged in pre-meeting talks. Dr. Long: "the briefing mentioned extensively the refugee issue being faced by the Confederacy. I hope you aren't planning to offer free handouts to these people." John Hannibal: "They're not looking for Charity. We are here to discuss equitable trade arrangements. We are both looking for mutually beneficial arrangements. The refugees need somewhere to live and work... we need laborers on planets with atmospheres foreign to us, and colonists for our homesteads. I don't see that our goals are at odds." Dr. Long: "Very good. Another source of cheap Labor is always beneficial. I just want to ensure that these talks are productive." John Hannibal: "You don't have to babysit us. I am the CEO, after all." Dr. Long: "Of course, Mr. Hannibal." The final dignitary arrived, and the introductions began. John introduced the group to Callahan, with whom he'd been talking, and the new dignitary, a representative from the he plantation owner's company. Dr. Long found the new arrival most intriguing. "Fascinating" she stated, looking the man over, "I was lead to believe that the Merchant Confederacy is comprised solely of Humans... so that would make this specimen a human as well... the genetic modification is extensive... and perplexing. I wonder what purpose these appendages serve?" Dr. Long queried, gently lifting one of the dignitary's tentacles. John Hannibal: "Dr.Long, I don't see how this is appropriate. We are their guests. Well have time for medical examinations following the talks." Dr. Long: "Of course. This genetic modification technology is simply fascinating..." Dignitary: " performed by the Zoid to my people a hundred years or more ago. They desired an amphibious servitor of human stock. We were made to harvest the Awesomnium from the depths of Sorn, but We rebelled and joined the Confederacy, and now our proud traditions are practiced in freedom from the oppression of slavery." Wick Nole: "Greetings. Shall we begin?" Dignitary: "Yes, Let's" The talks continued for several hours as many important topics were brought to bare. Including the discussion of the refugees joining Octan as colonists, and Octan's inclusion in the confederacy, as well as the continued threat posed by the Zoid raiders. Callihan resolved that he wanted to inspect some of Octan's famous ships and to observe their pilots in action. When the meeting concluded, a fit 20 something year old with scruffy hair in a tight suit and brown kaki pants rushed to Dr. Long. Dr. Long: "What Is it?" She asked her secretary, Odus Dillberg. Odus: "Sorry to interrupt you Dr. Long!" Dr. Long: "What's done is done. What do you have for me?" Odus: "Well I just noticed you have a new meeting on your agenda for next week with HR on Farmolis!" Dr. Long: "I didn't schedule anyrhing... unless... Kevin." Odus: "Who?" Dr. Long: "A colleague. Sounds like I have to take a trip to Farmolis then..." Odus: "Alright! Roadtrip!" Dr. Long: "You can leave now." "Log date 440, This is Dr. Danielle Long, Recording from Foring. Diplomatic talks with the Merchant Confederacy have gone exceedingly well... I anticipate extensive collaboration in the futures. John Hannibal was right, their brand of Anarcho-Capitalism is quite compatible with Octan's practices. Furthermore, this time served as an excellent chance for one of my interns to gather flora samples. Time is money, after all. On another note... it may be prudent to take Zoid captives when next we encounter them... it sounds as though their gen-mod tech could be quite profitable should we be able to reverse engineer it... alright, that's it for now. Dr. Long out." Dr. Long has assigned an intern to gather specimens of local flora to be analyzed on the Axle! How industrious of her! Time is money, after all! The Science must get done!

: //"this is Dr. Danielle Long. Are you sure the "Metal Eater" unit 42b is not recoverable? Those things are more expensive than the lab techs... your feedback on the gyroscope is much appreciated. I expect you to file the proper incident report forms, but in the meantime I'll see if I can't get Kodan to work out the bugs. I have a meeting to attend. Dr. Long out."// Lovely little scene! The Droid is fun, and the story is great! ~Dr. Long

Ahhhh! So cute! So so so cute! Bats are my favorite animal, and you captured them perfectly here! Spectacular build! ~Insectoid Aristocrat

Gorgeous build! It's delightfully gorey! I think you'll need a Mod to remove the topic as citizens and average Joes like you and I cannot delete posts or topics. ~Insectoid Aristocrat

Awesome ships! You certainly could have used them in a weekly build, but wow! Awesome job! ~Insectoid Aristocrat

Holy smokes! That is a seriously badass Mecha-tank. The red cockpit is the perfect touch! It's threatening and very spacey and industrial. The nozels of the guns are excellent too! I love it! ~Insectoid Aristocrat

Beautiful! This is a wonderful concept, and masterfully executed! The black and purple doesn't really strike me as an aquatic scene, but that's a minor complaint, as, you're right, it's a great colour combo! great job! ~Insectoid Aristocrat

That crash scene is superb! Excellent job! Love the return of the torturer! Lovely job! Your story is (as always) totally awesome and feels ripped right out of an action-packed James Bond film! And also, I love the angle on your contest-entry spaceship. Mmmm. That is a lovely ship from any angle! ~Insectoid Aristocrat

Very clever use of the galaxy squad insect eye piece to match the hexes of the board! Great job and fun story! ~Insectoid Aristocrat

Thanks all! BETTER PICTURES ARE FINALLY UPLOADED. This build was directly inspired by Kodan's where he gave Dr. Long a hallucinatory Panda. I gave her a real one! my decision was solidified by the coincidence of both Pombe and Kodan deciding to include Pandas, and then confirmed by Ender's Red Panda Mech. There is a seating area inside, as the pictures now display. Not much in terms of display screens, but there is one that's not visible from the outside. "Vacuum" is definitely inspired by AlienCat. Furries with Vacuums just makes sense. Also, to clarify, it's not an actual Vacuum, but rather a "spray bottle" for the bacteria she is inoculating the asteroid with. Vacuums wouldn't work in space... at least not without some serious ingenuity. ~Insectoid Aristocrat
