LucasLaughing Posted December 21, 2015 Posted December 21, 2015 (edited) Location: H-09 Wastyria Tags: Exploration Lu's Log - 20 Desembrinali 3815 Hey team, I apologize for the lack of log updates lately! We've been doing extensive mapping and equipment testing here on Wastyria; I've been spending my waking hours either underwater, or fixing hardware at the drydock. The water is cold, but still holds an abundance of life. One of my stranger finds so far is a cattail fish, a species which had been previously spotted on Quantus III by Dr. Vernon. It's unclear if this is a case of convergent evolution, or perhaps panspermia. We'll need to test the mitochondrial DNA of both species to see if and how they're related. CLAPPIE, remind me to contact Dr. Vernon when we get back to see if he has any samples. Aye aye, Captain! We're not on a ship, CLAPPIE; you don't have to call me 'captain.' As you wish, missus fish! Hee hee! I'm at the edge of the reef ... just past here, the seabed drops off for at least a thousand meters. Sonar scans suggest that there are trenches down there that are even deeper than the Mariana. I'd love to get down there, but we've been having a hell of a time with our deepwater subs. Our hardsuits continue to work extremely well, but they're not designed to travel that far down. Ah well, for now I'll just enjoy the beauty of the reefs, and maybe they'll have one of the prototype subs ready to test when I get back. Lu, out. The whole build: The fish built using the Unikitty tail was originally designed by TheUtilityBeltProductions for his challenge 1 build: Discovery on Quantus III. Feedback and suggestions are always welcomed! Edited December 21, 2015 by LucasLaughing Quote
Jody Meyer Posted December 21, 2015 Posted December 21, 2015 Really nice underwater scene. great colors. Quote
SpacerSteve Posted December 21, 2015 Posted December 21, 2015 That is a really cool scene. I like how colorful it is. Quote
Isundir Posted December 21, 2015 Posted December 21, 2015 Looks good, especially liking the purple and lavender leaf use. Quote
goatman461 Posted December 21, 2015 Posted December 21, 2015 great scene and npu throughout. thanks for the dry dock nod. some of the more aquatic MC members may be able to help out with the underwater missions, we haven't really taken full advantage of their mutations, yet Quote
Kai NRG Posted December 21, 2015 Posted December 21, 2015 Really cool underwater scene! The light blue background sets it off to a great advantage too. The purple plants really pop; great use of color! Quote
Kodan Black Posted December 21, 2015 Posted December 21, 2015 I love the vibrant colors and various aquatic life. Given that on our own planet we've got life at below freezing temps (thanks salt water!) and on thermal vents, it would seem only natural that other planets feature life! I wish I had some of those vine stalk things (not sure what they are called), they make great kelp! Quote
LegoPercyJ Posted December 22, 2015 Posted December 22, 2015 Looks fantastic! I really like the colors. Nice job! Quote
LucasLaughing Posted December 22, 2015 Author Posted December 22, 2015 Really nice underwater scene. great colors. That is a really cool scene. I like how colorful it is. Looks good, especially liking the purple and lavender leaf use. Thank you guys! I've definitely been loving the LEGO Elves sets for the colored foliage. great scene and npu throughout. thanks for the dry dock nod. some of the more aquatic MC members may be able to help out with the underwater missions, we haven't really taken full advantage of their mutations, yet Thanks! That's a good call on exploring the MC mutations - could be some interesting stories there. I'll send you a PM if I come up with anything. Really cool underwater scene! The light blue background sets it off to a great advantage too. The purple plants really pop; great use of color! Thank you! I love the vibrant colors and various aquatic life.

I wish I had some of those vine stalk things (not sure what they are called), they make great kelp! Thanks - I got lucky and picked up the vines/whips with some used LEGO collections - I hadn't realized how rare they were (in green) until just now when I looked on Bricklink. One was included in a 2015 set, so maybe they'll be making a comeback soon! Looks fantastic! I really like the colors. Nice job! Thank you! Quote
Andromedas Gates Posted December 23, 2015 Posted December 23, 2015 The judges awarded you 4 points. Quote
KlodsBrik Posted December 31, 2015 Posted December 31, 2015 Those sea plants, in fact all of your vegetation is looking really good. Now i know how unikittys evolution started off. Glad to se she eveolved into a somehow more peacefull being, though she still have some of her earlier genepools thriving indeed. Great MOC. ! Quote
Orange Leader Posted December 31, 2015 Posted December 31, 2015 I think that tan sandbase worked very well to establish this very nice underwater scene! Quote
