Wow, what an amazing build! It's great how you have taken the picture and turnend it into reality. I would have never thought that this would be possible!

Nice one Alf, I like how you are improving, time to do some photo editing!

Wow gunman, congratulations on the first, it's great news these days! anyway, I'm back after a three week vacation ...

I'd wish to transfer my 50 credits, alas it seems I don't have them yet ...

Great Alien structures! Wonder why Dr.Long feels tamed in this episode!

Very interesting story and great ship wreck. Cant't wait to see how this one will continue!

Very nice effects here and I really like the asteroid design. Great idea about how to build craters!

Very interesting stuff going on here! Love that platform and those nasty killer plants!

Great story and I really love the hommage. I actually had a similar idea about this for this planet, except that h3 wanted to go Surfing there ...

Mate, your Stories are always so funny, wish I had that sense of humor! Anyway, the OCS penetrator sure looks like a fine craft!

story is up now!

Location: F 03 - Forring Tags: Octan, Civil, vehicle When three days ago H3 had gotten to the awesomenium site on F03 he was struck by the beauty of landscape that reminded him so much of happy days on earth long gone. He had taken all his equipment and had thrown it into the river. Ever since then, he had remained at the bank of the river, either standing, laying or sitting, staring at the water and wondering about his situation: What the hell was he, the former environmentalist, doing on an alien planet destroying it for the sake of the Octan corporation. Why was Dr. Long trying to break him down and even threatened him with rehab on an alien planet. Wasn't it his fear of aliens that had gotten him to the bottle in the first place? Why were there no psychologists on board the Axle? Why did his wife and children have to die during an alien attack that he had survived, why, why, why ... Henry had found no answers. Suddenly his brooding was interrupted by the sound of an OEV - 27 (Octan Exploration Vehicle) and the yell of it's crew: "Yo Himmelmann - is that you." "Yessir, it is" Henry mumbled to himself. "Himmelmann, you mind turning around and talking to us?" "I would prefer not to." "Hey H3, come here for god's sake and tell us what happened!" "I would prefer not to." "HIMMELMANN, what the hell is going on? Talk to us now!" "I would prefer to." "HQ - this is OEV 27 - D calling from the surface of Forring! We have found missing engineer without suitable equipment at the site of his deployment." "OEV 27 - D this is HQ: What the hell is going on down there?" "HQ - engineer seems to be in perfect pyhsical health but in strange mental condition. The indiviual is not agressive but is not cooperating at all. What are we supposed to do?" "OEV 27 - D, is the individual responding to you?" "HQ - positive, individual is communicating but not cooperating. He keeps just standing there at the bank of the river!" "OEV 27 - D, we have to think about that one. Remain on standby!" "HQ - copy that" "OEV 27 - D this is HQ are you still there?" "HQ we are still at site. Individual hasn't moved a single cenitmeter in the last hour." "OEV 27 - D: go get him back to the axle, NOW! "HQ - roger that! Individual will be taken back to Axle immedieatly! Additional shots:

Thanks for the beer mate, nice build too!

Awesome castle Simon and it's good to see you building again. I really like how you did those larger Windows! You mightn't have any shot of them revealing how you build them?

Although I don't know the film, I really like the story. It really made me laugh!

53 to Bob please!

Holy cow, that was tough. Not sure how Henry with his alienophobia will take this ... Great series of builds, great story!

Wow, those are great eccs, where are those torsos from?

Thanks guys, I'm actually rather happy myself about how well this has turned out. BTW, Newer and better space ship pics in the Spoiler!

Location: F02 - Lesser Drigon Tags: engineering, civil, Octan, building, spaceship It was on of those rare moments in which Hans-Heinrich "H3" Himmelmann was content with himself and the world. Maybe not this particular world here on lesser Drigo, but with life in general. He had installed and serviced new water pumps, build a station and even finished building a new earthship, a work he usually enjoyed the most. After two exhausting weeks we was ready to leave the planet, go back to the axle and finally take his vacation. What was even more, he had stopped drinking excessively and ,after overcoming a cold turkey, he was feeling extremely well. So when he heard the "Duck" (a small Octan cargo and crew ship - called Duck by all Octan employees for it's strange shape) descending onto the landing pad he was really happy. However, he was less happy when the duck had finally landed, opend it's hatch and a familiar face greated him laughinly. "Damn" Henry mubled "what does that nooby kiddo want here. He'll screw up everything I've worked for so hard these last days ..." But Henry became even more infuriated when the young engineer opened his mouth: "Good morning Hans-Heinrich" Henry really hated to be called by his real name, "I've come to inform you directly from Dr. Long, who is now our Branch Executive, that you will not return to the axle today, nor within the next days, until all signs of M.A.N.T.I.S activity on Lesser Drigo have been extinguished by our special forces!" Henry was dumbstruck, all this effort, all this hard work was supposed to be for vain? When would he finally be able to rest a few days. If he carried on this hard much longer, he'd surely go mad. But this was not all. The young lad continued: "I'm also here to inform you that henceforth you will work here under my command! Octan knows all about your behaviour so that some executives want me to keep a close eye on you." That's when H3 lost is for good. He went back into the station, grabbed his whiskey bottle and started screaming: "What the hell is going on here, why me, why the F**K are they doing this to me?" He then took his hammer, chased out the front door in order to find his new "boss" and teach him a lesson ... Extra shots: PS: sorry, screwed up the title again ... thanks Bob!

Very interesting character Danny, really love the non-Hero Approach here! MK: just wait until we get the pirate game started!

There are no facts whatsoever as of yet!

43 to Bob please!

Why should they? Nocturnians look like a bunch of first graders playing in the sandpit to them! Maybe you guys can ask them for an internship in evilness!

Why don't we redirect the Algus to Nocturnus to freeze over your smelly swamps?
