[M - B06] Experiment P0B06

[Big Sal]

Excerpt from the lab book of Big Sal:

Date: 28 Junali 3815.

Experiment Code: P0B06.

Lead Scientist: Big Sal.

Location: Kawashita territory, Sorn.

Aim: Test effectiveness of persuasion technology.

Excerpt ends.

I still don't really get how it works.

Ugh, it's not difficult Roberts. You know how you can persuade people to do almost anything for money?

Yes...

And you know how money is based on gold?

I suppose...

Well then, the mechanics of the Persuadomatic (patent pending) should be obvious! It vapourises gold and expels it as a mist of nanoparticles into the air. Anyone breathing it in will become easily suggestible.

Yeah, I'm not sure that makes any...

FIRE IT UP! 25% POWER!

Excerpt from the lab book of Big Sal:

Method: Using gold from Guinevere, the Persuadomatic will disperse a mist of nanoparticles into the air.

Prediction: Kawashita scientists exposed to the Persuadomatic will be easily convinced to give up valuable intelligence.

Excerpt ends.

Stable at 25% power. Those pills we took will protect us right?

Sure! Ok, I'm going in!

I still think you should have changed out of your M.A.N.T.I.S. colours...

Greetings fellow scientists!

Uh, who are you?

I'm Big Sal! The famous M.A.N.T.I...shita scientist!

Did you just say 'MANTIShita'?

Erm...no! I said 'mighty Kawashita' of course! Roberts, increase the power!

What was that?

I said, uh... 'man, I could do with a shower'!

Good save... Power at 50%.

Anyway, what are you guys up to here? Fill me in on your latest findings.

Hmmm, I don't know about that. I'm still not exactly sure who you are?

Yeah, if you're Kawashita, what's today's password?

Uhhhh... more power damn it!

Increasing power to 75%

Hey! Dr Wu asked you a question! Stop mumbling!

Ok, you got me. I'm not from Kawashita after all...

I'm from the Nobel Prize committee! We've been watching Dr Wu and we're very impressed!

OHMYGOD! WOOO!

Oh, wow, I'm flattered!

Yes, it's true! I'm here to conduct our final investigation, so if you could just give me all the details of your work...

THIS IS AMAZING!

Oh, yes, of course! So, this is our new awesomnium drill and we recently discovered the astounding fact that...

What's going on down there? Who's that M.A.N.T.I.S. guy??

NO, HE'S FROM THE NOBEL PRIZE! DR WU'S GOING TO WIN! I ALWAYS BELIEVED IN YOU DOC!

Why's he holding a trophy? Isn't the Nobel Prize a medal?

...

...

...

Lemme guess? 100% power?

Yup! But they've got rebreathers... we may just have to rely on my natural charm and quick wits!

60 seconds later:

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH! THE NOBEL COMMITTEE WON'T LOOK KINDLY ON THIS! START THE ENGINES ROBERTS!

Excerpt from the lab book of Big Sal:

Results: Persuadomatic showed promise but was ineffective against Kawashita troops with rebreathers.

Conclusions: Why were they wearing rebreathers anyway? Sorn's atmosphere is perfectly breathable. We may have another security breach.

Excerpt ends.

My first go at SNOT rocks. Not entirely happy with them, but practice makes perfect I guess. Comments and criticism welcome!

It was fun to have a go at building Kawashita stuff for a change!

[Tomsche]

That`s one hilarious and fantastic story and build, made my evening :-)

[soccerkid6]

Hilarious story as always Big Sal's pretty good at thinking on his feet...

Sweet drilling machine and the ground texture looks great

[Graham Gidman]

Kawashita special force saving the day? Eh, nothing new.

Awesome build!

[Balbo]

I really like the story and the build . The rockwork and the way you made the machines is great

[LittleJohn]

Fantastic story and build, as usual! I love the texture the 1x1 tiles give and the water is great too

[Zaael]

Haha this is hilarious!! I like the drill! Cool build!

[Ferdinando]

Hilarious build and cool drill!

[Kodan Black]

That drill machine is amazing. Consistently one of the best storytellers in AG! I always seek out your build threads.

[NuckElBerg]

There is no security breach, and nothing to worry about. The Kawashita Special Ops are of course just inspired by me, Q, to always wear rebreathers!

Anyway, great story and build as always! I love that the Special Ops team actually commented on the fact that the Nobel Prize is a medal and not a statue!

[Andrew JN]

Nice! Cool drill machine!

[Zepher]

Good ol' Big Sal! Good thing he had that trophy on him! Agreed that the rocks weren't quite there… maybe if they had a bit more of an expansion at their bottom? But for a first attempt, great work - I'm still trying to get them right myself. Also love the legs of the drill.

[David FNJ]

Haha, that is just too funny! Poor Big Sal!

That drill looks awesome!

[Garmadon]

Ha, ha, another excellent build and story, Big Sal, the Kawashita drill is very nice, great use of those cannons on the legs! Great rock-work and water as well, and good idea with the gold vaporizing Persuadomatic, even if it, err, didn't go quite as planned!

[aeralure]

Awesome story! Haha. I loved it. Very cool drill. The ground looks great and nice for first SNOT rocks (I wouldn't have known they were your first had you not said so). Great job!

[Mark of Falworth]

Hilarious! Ab-Sal-ute-ly hilarious!

Great moc as well! Keep it up! :thumbup:

[Dannylonglegs]

I'm pretty sure Sal's wit and charm alone is what got him his degree in... "Science" What a hilarious build! Your Kawashita machine is great, and I do like your rockwork!

~Insectoid Aristocrat

[rodiziorobs]

I love the effect of those 1x1s on the ground, and the drill, and most of all, the story! I suppose the Nobel prize may yet elude Big Sal. Someday, Sal, someday.

[Andromedas Gates]

The judges awarded you 5 points.

[Niloc]

Haha, I had a particularly good laugh with this one! You're a master storyteller Big Sal is good to improvise in difficult situations, really, he's... surprising.

"Isn't the Nobel prize a medal?"

Best one yet! Who knows, it could have changed a lot through the years, right... But I mean, those Kawashita guys sure are naive! Huh... Wait... Hey!

And that chubby drill is nice too! Your first SNOT rock is nice. The rock feels very natural.

[Mike S]

Great build, funny story! Big Sal has got to be the craziest scientist in AG, haha! Fits Mantis perfectly!

[pombe]

What an awesome drill! I love the NPU for the legs!

Brilliant story as always! HAHA!

[Umbra-Manis]

Great build big sal!

[Jman44]

Awesome story and fantastic build! The drill and Persuadomatic machine are top notch!

[LucasLaughing]

Another fun and funny story! I think the rocks turned out well, and I really like the drilling machine. As others have said, using the cannons for legs is brilliant.
