For being a desert planet covered in lava flows, it was amazing to Hawk that water was the number one resource on the planet. Mantis Command wanted info on how Octan gathered water on the planet and where it was located. A number of Octan moisture evaporators had been found with the information gained from the mining satellite on F03. Hawk was given a semi-autonomous Hazardous Environment Mining Drone from MANTIS command to help him hack into the Moisture evaporator. The drone had been developed for operations on the surface of Torresta, so not even a lava flow would slow it down.

-

Hawk in his Hornet Gunship lower the Hazardous Enviroment Mining Drone, or H.E.M.D for short into position.

-

H.E.M.D: Unit is ready to serve. Input Command.

Hawk: Alright, cross the lava flow to the evaporator, and hack the controls. You also need to extract a data chip for HQ.

-

H.E.M.D.: Unit has received commands. Begin Execution?

Hawk: Yes, begin

-

H.E.M.D.: Objective reached.

Hawk: Good jod H.E.M.D.

H.E.M.D.: Commencing Hacking. Activating laser saw.

Hawk: Wait what?

H.E.M.D.: Retrieving Data chip.

-

Hawk: Stupid drone.

H.E.M.D.: This unit performed all of it's tasks given. Any error is in the controlling unit.

Hawk: I suppose you did do everything I asked of you.

H.E.M.D.: I detect two lifeforms approaching. Activating laser saw.

Hawk: No wait.

Myserious Native1: Greeting MANTIS warrior. We represent the Flamosian Resistance. Ever since the ones you call Oktann arrived on this planet, they have been setting up their poison machines and driving us from the surface of the planet.

Hawk: You mean the moisture extractors?

Mysterious Native2: Yes. What you call water is a deadly poison to our kind. Thousands of our kind have perished. Ever since MANTIS has arrived, we have observed that your kind is dedicated to the destruction of the Oktann. We would like to aid your warriors in this effort.

Hawk: I wouldn't say dedicated. They just get in our way. I will talk to my superiors. I'm sure they would even help you clean up the deadly poison to.

Myserious Native: That is news most welcomed.

That droid is awesome. The flamosians are great. Those new nexo creatures are perfect.

[Dragonfire]

I like everything about this build - especially the gunship and the mining drone. NPU for the Nexo Knights Globlin faces, and nice rockwork too

[goatman461]

nice shaping on the ship and cool engines. I'm not sure I follow the alien logic in the story but they've got a cool body design and it's good to see new characters emerge

[David FNJ]

Wow, you always have super cool vehicles! Super cool alien creatures. Very nice integration of the Octan water extractor.

[Isundir]

Those Flamosians are badass, I like to interpret their bodies as mechanized suits though.

[StarHawk3]

Thanks for the comments guys. I wanted the Flamosians to look like they had mech suits on. I imagined that a creature with a magma body would need a suit to venture out into a cooler environment, even if it was a desert.

[Mr Greeble]

Love those aliens!

[rodiziorobs]

As always, your build is really well composed. I like the landscape and the extractor, and of course the Flamosians

The judges awarded you 5 points.
