woofmcmoose Posted February 15, 2016 Posted February 15, 2016 Location: Donwarr (E01) Tags: Spaceship, Spying Aboard the MSS Titan MSS Titan not to be scored (see here) “Moose, report! Have you located the Octan straggler?” "Sir, recon drone 4 has picked up her scent. Ion trail appears to be leading towards the E01 anomaly." “Good, they clearly have the good sense to run like the rest of their fleet. See if you can get a ident before she jumps out.” "Yes Sir, closing to intercept." "Target sighted sir. Appears to be a Beryl class scout." “Hmm, probably taking their time to get as much data on our activities as possible before they jump.” "Agreed Sir. Drone 4 is close enough now to intercept their data-stream. Packets are encrypted so we'll have to crack the data later, but the headers identify her as OSS Profit." “Keep within listening range but stay undetected. Lets get as much as we can before she hops.” "Aye Sir." "GATE field detected, she's bugging out." “Ok, recall the drones. That's hopefully the last we see of the Octan fleet for a while.” "Sir, Drone 3 is picking up a broadwave distress call. Began as soon as the Profit jumped." “Another Octan drive malfunction?” "Negative sir, message protocols appear to be Kawashita." “Kawashita!?” "Mayday Ma..shhhhc...., th..shhrrrk.. Kaigun-shosa Hoshi of the Haysui-Maru. Navigation...cccrrrkkkss...lsion system failures. Request assistance from an...shhhrrriiss...essel. Salvage costs will be reim...sshhhrrttkk...hrrrrkkk....nerable Kawashita Corporation." To be continued....... A small build this week as I had life commitments and some longer term build projects to attend to. The Beryl class was so named as it looked a bit like a Klingon Bird of Prey (of which there is a B'Rel class in Star trek canon). In case scale is confusing the Beryl is in scale with the Titan and the Tsetse recon drone is supposed to be minifg scale. Quote
SpacerSteve Posted February 15, 2016 Posted February 15, 2016 (edited) The eyes on the spy drone are perfect for a bug like appearance. I liked the story. I'm looking forward to seeing where this one goes. Edited February 15, 2016 by SpacerSteve Quote
rodiziorobs Posted February 15, 2016 Posted February 15, 2016 You get extra points for awesome use of official chrome pieces, right? Great drone, and the microscale Octan ship is nicely done, too Quote
LucasLaughing Posted February 15, 2016 Posted February 15, 2016 Love the microscale ships! The big one has some nice details, but I think the smaller drone steals the show with those great "eyes" and antenna on the front. Quote
