Big Sal Posted May 27, 2015 Posted May 27, 2015 (edited) 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 ) Edited May 29, 2015 by Big Sal Quote
Orange Leader Posted May 27, 2015 Posted May 27, 2015 Amazing, I like how this lab has a window for looking outside. Good job on all the many details and that huge yellow frog is awesome! Quote
pombe Posted May 27, 2015 Posted May 27, 2015 (edited) LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Absolutely brilliant. And beautifully built, too! Great...now you have a super sized man eating yellow frog on the loose! EDIT: Amazing details, btw! The hanging pipettemen, the M.A.N.T.I.S colored microscopes, the stack of petri plates, the flask shaker, the heat plates/magnetic stirrers, the thermocyclers, the biosafety cabinet/hood, and the centrifuge! And the gel electrophoresis box and gel imager! And a brilliant weigh scale! OMG, a pH meter! And, of course, the coffee mugs all throughout -- safety first! This is wonderfully thought out!

Graham Gidman Posted May 27, 2015 Posted May 27, 2015 That lab is absolutely fantastic, and the story is pretty amusing. Well done! Quote
CMP Posted May 27, 2015 Posted May 27, 2015 Kawashita bastards! They've gone too far this time. And their scientist even took his own life. Coward. We'll have to contain this creature, maybe give their nearest colony a special delivery, courtesy of M.A.N.T.I.S. This transgression will not be forgotten. Awesome build, that's a fantastic lab setup. :thumbup: Quote
goatman461 Posted May 27, 2015 Posted May 27, 2015 this is awesome, aside from being funny, the lab is arranged in such a genuine, realistic manner. so many great details and excellent use of the window/desert outside, Quote
Lind Whisperer Posted May 27, 2015 Posted May 27, 2015 That is just plain incredible, man! Beautiful! (Also, I love how well your stickers are applied! :jealous:) Quote
Dannylonglegs Posted May 27, 2015 Posted May 27, 2015 (edited) Ah! Excellent MoC! Gorgeous lab equiptment! The microscope (and slides/petri dishes! NPU!), The hotplates (with clamp!) Are all stellar! And I love the use of the Explorien Alien Fossils! Your flagrant disregard for lab protocol on the other hand seems to just keep ruining your lab equiptment and killing our competitive intelligence agents your lab assistants! ~Insectoid Aristocrat Edited May 27, 2015 by Dannylonglegs Quote
narbilu Posted May 27, 2015 Posted May 27, 2015 Really speechless... What a great lab, story and ... Speechless! Quote
Big Sal Posted May 27, 2015 Author Posted May 27, 2015 Thanks everyone! Amazing details, btw! The hanging pipettemen, the M.A.N.T.I.S colored microscopes, the stack of petri plates, the flask shaker, the heat plates/magnetic stirrers, the thermocyclers, the biosafety cabinet/hood, and the centrifuge! And the gel electrophoresis box and gel imager! And a brilliant weigh scale! OMG, a pH meter! And, of course, the coffee mugs all throughout -- safety first! Haha, thanks pombe! Glad everything was recognisable to a fellow scientist Quote
Dannylonglegs Posted May 27, 2015 Posted May 27, 2015 Thanks everyone! Haha, thanks pombe! Glad everything was recognisable to a fellow scientist Oh, it's an automatic stirrer, not a clamp. How could I be so dense. ~Insectoid Aristocrat Quote
CMP Posted May 27, 2015 Posted May 27, 2015 ....the heat plates/magnetic stirrers... Oh, it's an automatic stirrer, not a clamp. Are you talking about the coffee machine? Quote
Dannylonglegs Posted May 27, 2015 Posted May 27, 2015 Are you talking about the coffee machine? No coffee in the labs! Unless you're extracting caffeine for practice, that is. Really outstanding details! ~Insectoid Aristocrat Quote
Dragonfire Posted May 27, 2015 Posted May 27, 2015 I wonder whether the giant frog will make another appearance in one of your later builds... Great work! Is it just me, or is your character a huge hypocrite - being excessively reckless, blaming it on Johnson and then getting him killed? Classic MANTIS... Quote
Commander Beltar Posted May 27, 2015 Posted May 27, 2015 Wow. Awesome! Hilariously amazing story, and you are really good at making labs too! That frog...is...amazing..! All the details you added, to the most minor one, really help this look like a lab! I love the petri dishes and the equipment a lot, you really paid attention to detail! Quote
Lady K Posted May 27, 2015 Posted May 27, 2015 (edited) Love the build and the story! Your labs are absolutely perfect in detail! We will name him Guard Frog and post signs saying 'Beware of Attack Frog' to discourage unwanted visitors. Edited May 27, 2015 by Lady K Quote
mrcp6d Posted May 28, 2015 Posted May 28, 2015 Man oh man, that is a SWEET lab! I actually laughed out loud when I scrolled to the first giant frog picture too! Quote
EpsilonEta Posted May 28, 2015 Posted May 28, 2015 Fantastic lab and a fun story. (I'm an Kawashita spy so secret I dont have a sigfig yet. I'll be joining soon) Quote
TenorPenny Posted May 28, 2015 Posted May 28, 2015 Really well executed idea with a lovely story to move the action along. Quote
Commander Turtle Posted May 28, 2015 Posted May 28, 2015 That was one heck of a build, great work. The desert and the window add a lot to it, and your lab packs a lot of subtle realism. Quote
Kai NRG Posted May 28, 2015 Posted May 28, 2015 Very funny story. Big Sal desperately needs a safety officer in the lab though. Very nice interior! Quote
Ninja Nin Posted May 28, 2015 Posted May 28, 2015 Nice to see the batch of samples arrived "safely" in your lab .... and Johnson didn't mess them up .... I like how this mutation goes .... we can create armies of giant creatures from different planets as our defense system .... Let me know if you need a bigger cage ... Absolutely great story by the way, and lots of details in the lab I like ! Quote
SpacerSteve Posted May 28, 2015 Posted May 28, 2015 This is amazing on so many levels! I love the buggoid in the incubator. Lots of great detail! Quote
