Posted February 28, 20223 yr Previously: Jack hatches a plan With Jack's plan finalized, he and Kate passed the word to other prisoners. The Lotii guards had become complacent watching over their Halosian prisoners for so long, and the number used to guard them and their diligence in their duty had waned. When an opportunity finally presented itself, the prisoners overwhelmed their guards, secured the keys to release their incarcerated brethren, and acquired whatever makeshift weapons they could. Some were able to get their hands on swords and knives, but others had to settle for pick axes and hand axes from their work site, and even a meat cleaver from a Lotii cook. Once free of their shackles and armed, the prisoners made their way through the jungle toward the harbor. Jack and Kate had assembled a group of enough able-bodied seamen to commandeer at least five ships, and there were no guards to speak of around them. Jack had his eye on a man-o-war, and there were several brigantines or similar ships docked adjacent to it. And the ships didn’t appear to have been stripped of essential materiel. Could he be so lucky? --- I would have liked to have time to MOC the overpowering of the guards, but real life interceded. This build at least gave me a chance to experiment with some different foliage than my usual builds. And this serves as a sistership build, replacing the Wolf (and subsequent sisterships Wolf II and Fenris Ranger) with its newest sistership El Lobo. All C&C welcome.
February 28, 20223 yr I'm glad that Jack and Kate were allowed to escape. The jungle looks good, there are plants everywhere.
March 1, 20223 yr So these are just sistership builds, you could have developed some interesting stories from them, but you are right, RL comes first. The cook will be furious when he knows that someone took his cleaver.
March 1, 20223 yr Good stuff! I like hearing about stories related to the Lotii outside of a military context. Great underbrush!
March 1, 20223 yr Great extra thick foliage here, the layers of different colored palm leaves look really good.
March 1, 20223 yr Lovely to see the continuation of the story and nice to see they have broken out. I like the thickness of the layered leaves in the background .

By adding a couple of sisterships to the new ships that I'm starting out in the Lotus port, I've given Jack and Kate the ships they can use in the MRCA to escape.

They escaped once before just to immediately get captured again in the MRCA. So this time, they steal more ships! On 3/1/2022 at 1:16 AM, Professor Thaum said: I love that story. Can't wait to see the next part. Me too! The fun thing for me is the next part will be an MRCA-result build. I don't know yet how it turns out!

March 5, 20223 yr Fine scene. But where are the pictures for "the prisoners overwhelmed their guards, secured the keys to release their incarcerated brethren, and acquired whatever makeshift weapons they could"`? (Well, I know. Difficult to make. And you're excused as Hollywood also has developed a tendency of "tell, not show" ) For some strange reason a man looking like Jack will appear in my next chapter.
