Dragonfire Posted June 13, 2015 Posted June 13, 2015 Mission Log: Entry 5 ~ Commander, requesting immediate help from armed Special Forces troops - mission endangered! After deploying the probe to E10, we landed on Lesser Direstan. The first thing I noticed was.... everything was red. The ground, plants, rocks and weeds - all various shades of red. Only the water - which was what we had come for - was a standard shade of blue. After landing, I headed out to map the area and find the nearest water source. That part was easy - it was quickly located and a transmission sent back to the shuttle. It was then that I saw the alien... thing. I had foolishly disregarded the warning of "Intense Alien Activity" when we landed and had not brought a weapon or a means of defence of any sort. I was hopelessly unequipped and could only stand, frozen with fear, as the monstrous shape arose from the ground, awakened by my footsteps. It snarled, baring massive fangs, and lunged at me with its colossal, clawed hands. For a moment it had me, caught in its grasp, then I fell to the ground with a bump which knocked the wind out of me. I sprang to my feet and ran, stumbling blindly through the blood-red foliage, tripping and clawing my way through the tree roots and undergrowth. Survival was the only thing on my mind - in my terror I forgot the direction of the shuttle (a potentially fatal mistake). Now I'm crouched under an overhanging rock, listening to the alien tearing up the surrounding ferns in an attempt to find me. I need backup, and quickly! Minus my sig-fig and the alien: [ I had a lot of fun building this. C&C welcome! ] Quote
aeralure Posted June 13, 2015 Posted June 13, 2015 Oh no! Support incoming! Nice little build. I like the alien, the posing, and how it's kind of bursting off the bounds of the base. For me, it gives the action a bit more vitality. Not sure if that was planned or not but it worked out! Quote
rodiziorobs Posted June 13, 2015 Posted June 13, 2015 I love the intense feeling from so much action in such a tight space! Quote
pombe Posted June 13, 2015 Posted June 13, 2015 Holy crap, what a scary alien! Your build is intense! It's a good thing Aera was nearby to save you! Quote
shmails Posted June 14, 2015 Posted June 14, 2015 I can tell you had fun with this one, I had fun reading it! Nicely done. Quote
