Location: B03-Linopeia III Tags: science Linopeia III 3 by tropeaferdinando, su Flickr https://www.flickr.c...eposted-public/ Dr. Arvan ‘Yrich Arkov’ s personal log: “True scientists don’t stay in their hermetically closed, sterile labs. Biologists must go and look for their exemplars until they can hear their cry, and smell the subtle acidic scent of their pheromone emissions; similarly, my geological resarch must take place in the deep of the Linopeian crust to bring remarkable results.” End log. Linopeia III 4 by tropeaferdinando, su Flickr https://www.flickr.c...eposted-public/ Linopeia III 4 by tropeaferdinando, su Flickr https://www.flickr.c...eposted-public/ Dr.Arvan: “Do you know the fascinating, long orographic history of this planet, Lieutenant Selene? It used to have many mountainous chains about six-hundred million years ago , spanning for kilometres. But time and its unique climate nevertheless have eroded most of the significant geologic features, leaving behind the endless desertic plains we can see today.” Lt.Selene: “Fascinating indeed sir, but… not really relevant to our domination, is it?” Dr.Arvan: ”Allow me to contradict you. After all, M.A.N.T.I.S. is here to mine the precious Awesomnium hidden in the planet’s crust. What if I told you that we’re digging in the wrong place?” Lt.Selene: “And where should we look then?” Dr.Arvan: “Erosion has grinded to bits the Linopeian mountains; the largest Awesomnium reserve on this side of Andromeda lies hidden in plain sight, floating in the dry air of this planet in the form of sand. The dust you sweep away from your room probably contains a percentage of Awesomnium- and quite a high one, as I have just discovered.” Lt.Selene: “This...this could boost our mining operations by a hundred times! What do we need to put our hands on this treasure?” Dr.Arvan: “A broom. A big, electrostatic broom which will attract the Awesomnium particles as honey does with flies. Engineer Breyga should be working on it right now. Linopeia III 8 by tropeaferdinando, su Flickr https://www.flickr.c...eposted-public/ Engineer Breyga: “Doc, do you read me? We’re almost done here. The electrostatic device has begun attracting the Awesomnium... LinopeiaIII 10 by tropeaferdinando, su Flickr https://www.flickr.c...eposted-public/ ...and storing it in the refinery. Purity factor is very high-almost ninety-six percent. Dr.Arvan: ”Excellent Mr.Breyga. Any problems during the installation?” Linopeia III 9 by tropeaferdinando, su Flickr https://www.flickr.c...eposted-public/ Engineer Breyga: “Not at all Doc.

Excerpt from the lab book of Big Sal: Date: 27 Maian 3815. Experiment Code: X2B03. Lead Scientist: Big Sal. Laboratory: Linopeia III Facility, Xenobiology Lab 2. Aim: Investigate local wildlife for useful properties. Excerpt ends. "Johnson, stop messing around with my awesomnium! That's the first batch from Ninja Nin's drilling machine, and I need to store it here because my materials lab is still being repaired." "Fine, fine. Wait, Sal, isn't that one of the man eating yellow frogs that nearly killed Lady K's team??" "Calm down, it's sedated. I've run all the usual tests and there's nothing interesting. Just extreme aggression, virulent toxins and regenerative abilities." "Those sound pretty interesting to me Sal!" "That's why I'm the lead scientist, and you're not. Now, let's inject it with some of my new awesomnium extract." "Uh, that doesn't sound very safe. Especially since the combination of the extract and the regener-" "Damn it Johnson, show some backbone for once! Science isn't about being safe!" Excerpt from the lab book of Big Sal: Method: Despite my objections on safety grounds, Johnson insists that we try injecting the new awesomnium extract into the predatory yellow amphibians discovered by Lady Kianna. Prediction: The serum may react in an unpredictable manner with the creature's regenerative abilities. Excerpt ends. "Nothing's happening Sal. Let's just forget this ever happened and... WHAT THE F???!!!" "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!" "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!" "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!" "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!" Excerpt from the lab book of Big Sal: Results: Awesomnium extract caused extreme growth in the creature and negated the effects of the sedative. The creature was driven away by laser pistol blasts but appeared to suffer no significant injury. Its resilience may therefore also have been enhanced by the awesomnium extract. Conclusions: A combination of the awesomnium extract and a serum from the creatures could lead to powerful combat drugs for our special forces. Extreme care will be necessary. Safety Report: Johnson's reckless approach to science, despite my warnings, led directly to his death and the destruction of the laboratory by the enhanced creature. Were it not for my heroics in driving the creature away, dozens more lives may have been lost. Is there a chance Johnson was an Octan or Kawashita agent trying to sabotage our research? Excerpt ends. I had a lot of fun with this one! Comments and criticism welcome. Here's the whole build: (Ok, so I forgot to take a photo before the lab was destroyed )

M.A.N.T.I.S Engineering Department Date : 26 Maian 3815 Location : Linopeia III - B03 Environment : Desert Participants : Lady Kianna; Ninja Nin; Big Sal Log update : With our Commander Lady Kianna and her team 's effort in exploring the planetary surface, the M.A.N.T.I.S. has finally discovered a high Awesomnium Concentration Zone. Our top scientist Big Sal has also prepared his laboratory for material analysis. It is time the for the Engineering Department to show their work. On such rough and desolate environment, I chose to launch my first prototype of the: M.A.N.T.I.S. Awesomnium Drill ( a.k.a. the MAD ! ) An extremely powerful laser drill which can cut through rocks and it's programmed to collect all Awesomnium into its storage. Lady Kianna and Big Sal have arrived for the field test. A few boxes of sample are prepared for Big Sal's experiment. I hope the CEO Lady K is pleased with my prototype.

Location: B03 - Linopeia III Tags: Military, Piracy, Building. M.A.N.T.I.S Special Forces log: Myra Dynarski 20 Maian 3815, Linopeia III. Previous entry "I've arrived at the building. It looks secure, but their security protocols are very poor. I guess they don't have visitors often. Stun gun is fully charged, combat analysis probe is deployed. Injecting stimulants and engaging the enemy." "All enemies subdued. Heart rate up 20% from usual, adrenaline levels up 200%, accuracy up 1.7%, reflex speed up 30%. Mission successful, awaiting retrieval." The door opens! Okay, in future I'm making sure I edit out the background before I shrink the pictures.

Excerpt from the lab book of Big Sal: Date: 20 Maian 3815. Experiment Code: M5B03. Lead Scientist: Big Sal. Laboratory: Linopeia III Facility, Materials Lab 5. Aim: Assess local rock sample for precious metals. Excerpt ends. "Well, I suppose I'd better get on with aligning the lasers." "The other lasers are fine, but the connections on this one are a bit loose. However... to fix it I'd have to go borrow a ladder from Sci-X's lab, which would mean actually speaking to Sci-X... I'll just leave it - what's the worst that could happen?" Excerpt from the lab book of Big Sal: Method: Precious metal content will be analysed using newly designed quad-laser quark-gluon spectrometer. Prediction: Analysis will reveal any subatomic impressions of awesomnium, gold, mithril or copper, effectively scanning the whole of Linopeia III with just one sample. Excerpt ends. "Everything's set up - time to fire the lasers!" "Everything seems to be working as expected. Wait, what's that tearing sound?" "Whoops! At least it didn't damage the highly explosive gas canister it fell on..." Excerpt from the lab book of Big Sal: Results: Quark-gluon impression spectra contains distinct awesomnium signature. Conclusions: High probability of extensive awesomnium deposits on Linopeia III. No other precious metals detected. Spectrometer worked perfectly. Safety report: No incidents to report. However, on returning to laboratory after experiment, evidence of large explosion causing extensive damage to laboratory. I suspect Octan or Kawashita sabotage! Excerpt ends. Comments and criticism welcome! Here's the whole build:

Location: B03 - Linopeia III Tags: Military, Spying, Vehicle. M.A.N.T.I.S Special Forces log: Myra Dynarski 19 Maian 3815, Linopeia III (B03). "Dropship has landed; I'm on Linopeia III, halfway up a mountain. There's a lot of moss and grass here, but few larger plants. Anything big must die when the water dries up. My primary objective: Detain and interrogate whoever's in the building across the valley. Scans indicate outdated technology and a handful of humans, so the most likely possibility is survivors from one of the early pre-GATE pioneer ships." "An Octan supply pod was found by another agent recently, though, so it's possible they're spies. Either way, secondary objective is to field-test the new K-3 combat stimulants, which I have in my pack here. I'll be injecting them and deploying a combat analysis probe once I get closer to the target."

Linopeia III - B03 The Truth Revealed Expedition Log: 18 Maian 3815 Commander: Lady Kianna with forward expedition/insertion team Alpha Planet: Linopeia III - B03 Weather: Hot, dry ,calm atmosphere Environment: Harsh, desert lakes that appear and disappear with the turbulent weather patterns. Some wet sandy areas of large lake still visible. Dry sand, uneven terrain with jagged peaks cover the rest of the area. Large spiky plants with local wildlife possible some sort of spider-like creature visible. Commander’s Log: Planetary surface appears rough and uneven. Air temperature is very hot and dry. I feel we are being watched. No noises, nothing moving, not even a wind to take away the chill I feel in this desolate environment. Leo is obviously on edge, he feels as I do, his eyes are constantly scanning the wet lake bed. Orion is cautiously looking at some of the jagged rock. This planet is supposed to be rich in Awesomnium, we don’t see it yet. Elara is looking at some strange local wildlife that appears to be a yellow frog……..and now I see them, as does my team, many frog-like creatures some yellow in the rocks and some brown in the wet lake bed…..but all have what looks like humanoid bones or cyborg pieces by them. And they are all starring intently at us! Hunting us! Good thing we always come armed and prepared. My team and I prepare for what is to come, either a silent retreat or another fight to remember……… Hope you have enjoyed Linopeia III - B03 C&C Welcome.

The first of our units have made touchdown on Linopeia III. Other sapient presence was reported to be negligible, but a ping on our shiny new radar deployed over our landing zone told us otherwise. They called upon on their most skilled special forces agent to investigate, naturally. The atmosphere is to be breathable, barring the sandstorms that blow in from those big damn dust bowls that fill up into lakes once it gets wet enough. Me and Sixer made it to the edges of one of the lakes, and found the thing just as the nearest sun began to set: looked like an Octan deep space supply pod, tore up the ground all along the crash trajectory. We send those out too. Really tough refrigerators that are supposed to crash on planets we might colonize later. Now, some special forces operative would probably try to hack the thing open. Dig out, crack open the contents, and sort them out to be distributed at the nearest outpost. Finder keepers, right? Maybe it's a trapped decoy, maybe it's not, but either way we get something out of it, be it supplies, information, or whatever we can strip the pod itself down to, without a sense for what the thing represents. Luckily, I am not one of these special forces operatives. I wasn't sure how to pull of a pirate or spying action without other corporations having an actual presence nearby, but I hope this is a pretty reasonable concept, and that it falls under the 'sabotage enemy equipment' category.
