Mission Log: Entry 17 ~

My father filled me in on the mission as we boarded the shuttle. Exactly a week ago, a certain Kawashita Space Marine had reported into the medical centre on Orinshi with a strange malady. He said that he had been shot with an alien weapon during a spying mission on Arium Major, but he didn't know who had shot him. The medical staff had seen nothing like it, so they sent him to Avindrian Laboratories for examining. The scientists managed to extract some sort of bullet from the soldier's skin, but noted a strange redness emanating from the area around the wound when they removed it. Within days every patch of skin on his body had turned a deep red, and his eyes turned yellow. Upon removing his shirt, scientists found that one of his arms had developed a thick crust of red skin and his hand was hardening into a claw. The next day, he was gone. The body of a lab assistant was found in his room, clearly murdered. He'd used the assistant's security card to gain access to a shuttle; operatives tracked it to Arium Major. Paradoxically, this was where the soldier had sustained the injury.

I was sent along with two special forces commandos, Agents Sharpe and Kytes, to track down the mutant soldier and bring him (or it) back to Kawashita space for interrogation and analysis. I was also tasked with investigating the origin of the bullet. In case the planet's ruling Octan council sent operatives to stop us, or we ran into hostile aliens, our party was assigned a Kawashita Search-and-Destroy mecha, equipped with the latest weapons technology and piloted by none other than Ekira Mitoshi himself. We were ready at last, and prepared for whatever fate might befall us on Arium Major.

Nice work, I particularly like the shoulders and intimidating claw of the mech as well as the oriental feel to it, however I think only using one dish piece instead of 2 on the head would've been better.

And I like the use of the Minifig plates for the base but am not sure what to make of the dark red 1x2 plate with dark red slopes on it.

I couldn't find a black 2x2 tile for the base so I improvised with some Kawa colours. And yes, one less dish piece would probably be an improvement

Cool mech. I like its battle rifle to. It's about time we started seeing more Kawashita hard-suits.

Definitely one of my favorite builds of yours. Great work. One can never be too hard.

Very cool and a great story. The dishes on the head look very oriental, I like it.

Thanks, I think it's probably my best build to date, and I had a lot of fun building it!

Thanks, the story will continue, you'll meet the mutant next week.
