CMP Posted May 18, 2015 Posted May 18, 2015 (edited) 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.

Commander Beltar Posted May 18, 2015 Posted May 18, 2015 Neat little build! The drone looks really cool, your fig looks cool too. Of all the things left behind, a mug? They really left in a hurry. And I think building a spying or piracy action is just a suggestion, but yeah, I think this fits being in the special forces. Quote
Lady K Posted May 18, 2015 Posted May 18, 2015 Fantastic MOC! Great story to go with it! I see a sabotage of enemy equipment in there! Quote

Dannylonglegs Posted May 18, 2015 Posted May 18, 2015 Nice work! The story is nice! You've got a real badass of a character there, it seems! ~Insectoid Aristocrat Quote
Kai NRG Posted May 18, 2015 Posted May 18, 2015 Nice little build, especially the edited picture, that really looks effective! Quote
VolumeX Posted May 18, 2015 Posted May 18, 2015 Nice to see in roads to Linopeia III, this is the right course of action. Report any other findings please, i should be close to you in a few days. Over & Out. Sci-X. Quote
pombe Posted May 19, 2015 Posted May 19, 2015 This build really tells a story. I also love your sigfig and the flamethrower he carries. Quote
