Lord Tyrus Posted November 30, 2015 Posted November 30, 2015 (edited) SoNE X by Lord Tyrus, on Flickr Tyrus’ latest mission was to infiltrate the engine bay aboard the Suprosa, and take out the power to the command deck computers. Once completed, he would be able to take full control of the blast doors, as the engine room engineers had second in command in the case of an airlock breach or other technical problem. His task was to shut off the Rebels’ route by closing the blast doors, preventing them from accessing the central computer terminal. While seemingly a fail-proof plan, on closer inspection, Tyrus could see that there were some problems. He knew from first hand experience that the Rebels had specialised equipment perfectly capable of breaching through Star Destroyer-grade blast doors, let alone the minimal plasteel plates on a frigate like the Suprosa. Upon facing a closed door, the Rebels would merely blast their way through. Tyrus had already thought of this, however. He’d secretly planned with Sergeant Davon an alternative: he'd close all of the doors, but one, in the hope that the Rebels would go for the easier option, and run straight into Davon's and the other troop's blasters. A small, but significant deviation, but he hoped command wouldn't mind. While loyal to the Empire, Davon had the same doubts in its leadership as Tyrus did. He’d turned down the job of captain because it meant he would spend almost every day at a desk with the same men that had sent many of his squad to their deaths. Instead, he’d become the sergeant of the Stormtroopers under Tyrus’ command. He liked Tyrus, and, despite being several years his senior, looked up to him. He knew that if there was anyone who could do a good job of commanding a legion of Stormtroopers, it was Tyrus. Therefore when Tyrus approached him after the briefing on the Avenger, saying that he had a slightly different plan, he didn’t stop to think before agreeing. Tyrus sat down on one of the seats aboard a HAAT, commanded by a pilot by the name of Artizan, alongside the Sergeant and a few troopers. Upon landing, Tryus gave a quick nod to Davon and they split up. SoNE X by Lord Tyrus, on Flickr He found the engine bay to be deserted, he presumed the crew had run for cover. He wasted no time in heading towards the computer terminals, carefully resting his blaster against the wall. Suddenly he heard a noise. He quickly spun round and flung the small knife in his belt, ducking just in time to miss the sizzling laser bolt that struck the wall where his head had been a split second ago. He heard a thud as the knife hit its mark followed by a second thud as an overall-covered body hit the ground. He reclaimed his blaster from the limp hand and fired at the engineer’s head before quickly returning to the console. SoNE X by Lord Tyrus, on Flickr Within minutes, he was through security and shutting all of the blast doors, bar the central corridor. He watched through the cameras as the Rebels turned and headed for the clear route. Tyrus smiled to himself as the stupid Rebels fell for the bait. With a simple ‘Now’ through his comm, he signalled to Davon to spring the trap. The cameras in the lower half of the central corridor saw a sudden flash of red, then lost connection...

Tariq j Posted November 30, 2015 Posted November 30, 2015 Good build! I like your lighting as well. Quote
Commander Beltar Posted November 30, 2015 Posted November 30, 2015 I love the atmosphere you created with this build, and the build and story themselves are wonderful! Quote
LucasLaughing Posted December 1, 2015 Posted December 1, 2015 -------------------------------------------------------- After action report - prepared by Sgt. Kirana -------------------------------------------------------- Tyrus performed his duty well, seizing the engine room and taking control of the Suprosa's blast doors. In addition to cutting the rebels off, Tyrus and Sgt. Davon used the blast doors to funnel the rebels into an effective kill zone. Tyrus should be commended for his initiative. The one area where Tyrus fell short was in maintaining control of his weapon. A soldier's weapon should never be left unattended - when not in use it should be holstered, or secured with a strap. I trust this lapse in judgement will not be repeated. ------------------------------------------------------- Wow, beautiful photography and lighting - really nice work! I love the hologram too, and the computer room looks great. Do you have some pics showing your lighting set-up? Quote
Lord Tyrus Posted December 2, 2015 Author Posted December 2, 2015 Thanks guys! -------------------------------------------------------- Wow, beautiful photography and lighting - really nice work! I love the hologram too, and the computer room looks great. Do you have some pics showing your lighting set-up? Thanks! Unfortunately the lighting setup was only temporary, and therefore I can't show you it. I used a single white LED for the illuminated generator, used a couple of lego light bricks held 'on' with a brick attached to a 1x14 brick so I could shine them on specific parts and taped 2 red lego lightsabers over the flash of my camera with clear tape to get the red atmosphere. Highly unprofessional, but it gets the job done. I had a little play with the pictures afterwards, just with the basic Windows 10 photo app editor (brightness, contrast, vignette, shadows etc) and added the ship deck plans to the holo-screen with GIMP.
