Lord Tyrus Posted July 19, 2015 Posted July 19, 2015 Jycho Tyrus had been given a bit of relief from the usual day to day work he was used to. He'd been told by HQ that one of the chief starship techies in Strato Base on the icy world of Marden wanted to speak to him. While Tyrus thought it slightly excessive that he should need to speak to the man in person, he was happy to get away from daily life for a bit. 'Consider it a week off' HQ had said. However just as he was about to board a shuttle bound for Marden, Tyrus was greeted by a short fat man, who shuffled in front of him to block his entry to the shuttle, and pointed in the direction of one of the G17-Miner ships, abruptly saying: "That one's for you. Off to Marden."."So that was really why they wanted me to go to Marden." Tyrus thought. Andromeda's Gates: Marden by Lord Tyrus, on Flickr After a 13 hour flight in the lumbering craft, Tyrus set the ship down on the snowy surface, as indicated by the mech on guard, and set the drill to proceed to drill into the ground, as Strato Base had ordered. After another few hours of watching over the drill, he climbed out and proceeded to the lift to travel to floor -14. Andromeda's Gates: Marden by Lord Tyrus, on Flickr He greeted the man working at a PC: "You wanted to see me." Andromeda's Gates: Marden by Lord Tyrus, on Flickr The guy turned from his computer. "No! Who are you? I haven't asked to see anyone!" It was as Tyrus had thought. "I'm Jycho Tyrus. It seems there has been an error. I'll be off now." "Wait. Jycho Tyrus? I've heard of you, apparently, you're one of the better pilots, one of the few who hasn't been hit by an asteroid or eaten by a giant space slug!" So that was why there were so few pilots...

You see those yellow dots, they are great sources of biomass. We need biomass, and you are the perfect candidate to get them. However, it isn't that simple. See those red areas, those are great magnetic rocks under the snow that'll send your ship crashing straight into the ground, and that'll hurt. Watch out for them. Speaking of ships, I haven't shown you what you'll be driving..." Before Tyrus could protest, the technician walked straight past him and activated another holo-display, this time, a 3D model of a spaceship.

But before Tyrus could answer, he was being whisked away towards the door. "Off you go, see you later!" Andromeda's Gates: Marden by Lord Tyrus, on Flickr Suddenly the ground shook, and both men were thrown to the floor. "It's just the underground mining operations." The technician said, but he looked doubtful. Tyrus also doubted this. Then the lights flickered, then darkness. A large roar filled Tyrus' ears, then he felt himself drifting into unconsciousness... * * * And here's a picture of the whole build: Andromeda's Gates: Marden by Lord Tyrus, on Flickr Quote
shmails Posted July 19, 2015 Posted July 19, 2015 Really nice, the idea for the holoscreen popping up is so good! Quote
LittleJohn Posted July 19, 2015 Posted July 19, 2015 Great build! I really like the split level design Quote
LucasLaughing Posted July 20, 2015 Posted July 20, 2015 Awesome build! I really like the microscale mech, and the holo spaceship is cool too! Quote
Mike S Posted July 20, 2015 Posted July 20, 2015 Great build! You have some realy awesome details in there like the holoscreen! Quote
mccoyed Posted July 20, 2015 Posted July 20, 2015 Very cool and compact way to do this build. That micro build especially is great! Quote
Big Sal Posted July 20, 2015 Posted July 20, 2015 I like that you combined all the separate builds into one - nice idea! The micro is my favourite - the mech and dish rock! Quote
Lord Tyrus Posted July 20, 2015 Author Posted July 20, 2015 Cheers all, but which micro do you mean? The top and bottom are both micro. I presume you mean the surface build? Quote
NuckElBerg Posted July 20, 2015 Posted July 20, 2015 Great idea combining multiple scenes into one build. I really like the first micro-scene, and the second scene with the holograms was great too. Good job! Quote
mrcp6d Posted July 21, 2015 Posted July 21, 2015 Ooooh I like your idea for a hologram! The robot is a nice little piece of work too. Quote
robuko Posted July 21, 2015 Posted July 21, 2015 Very nice build. I especially like the first micro scene. Quote
