[M - E01] Peace Negotiations Break Down

[Mr Greeble]

Planet: Donwarr

Log of Agent G: Still stationed on Donwarr. I'm beginning to really dislike this planet. I was assigned to try to make peace between M.A.N.T.I.S. and the Na Vohz. When I arrived at the camp, I had probably killed half the insect population underneath my boots. You haven't experienced bugs until you've visited Donwarr, I mean, It's really spectacular, the ground is almost a solid, writhing mass of bugs, like that one scene from that old Mantiana Jones movie. Really gross.

On crossing the lines into the camp, I was acutely aware of the Sliver they had on guard. The giant bugs had obviously noticed the bug muck on my boots, and they were no pleased about it. Even with my State of the Art armor, I could feel the beat of their wings, I kid you not. More on the Sliver can be found in my last entry: Log entry 100253.

Thinking ahead, I had skinned a surprisingly white lizard to use as a white flag. You think M.A.N.T.I.S. would give all of their explores one, but they don't so I had to make do. Well, another interesting fact about the Na Vohz: They are devout worshippers to Maloh, the great god whose stomach we apparently all live in. It's complicated. I found that out from my last time spying on the Na Vohz. What I didn't know, was that they believe that the physical incarnation of Maloh is the rare white lizard that lives on Donwarr.

Needless to say, the peace talks didn't go well, but like any M.A.N.T.I.S. explorer, I took it with stride.

Oh, one more thing about the Na Vohz: they chop down an area of trees, usually in a circle, build a stone wall with one opening, and then herd their prey into it, rendering said prey helpless while the Sliver riders attack from above. Rather ingenious.

Note to Judges: The Green bug is reused, the red bug is new.

(I wasn't able to use my normal photo setup because it was so big, so enjoy a rare shot of my wall.)

I like tour story this week. The lizard stomach that we all live in. The multiple colors on the bug works really well.

[Balbo]

Very nice work! I really like the story and the MOC

[Mr Greeble]

Thanks for the comments! I wish that I could build on Donwarr a bit longer to expand the story, though.

[Col. Brik]

[Umbra-Manis]
