Bob Posted January 14, 2012 Posted January 14, 2012 Layout When I'm not hosting and playing games in the Mafia and Wargames Forum, I also build things. Some of you who played in Suburbia Mystery might notice that the layout is different, because I just revamped the city and changed it. I've recently started to take a shine to the new Alien Conquest theme, so I added a small ADU Base. However, you'll see it in the upcoming story.... --- Behind the grocery store, in downtown Lexington... "Captain's log, stardate Unknown. Myself, Mr. Spock, Doctor McCoy, Mr. Scott, and Ensign Rogers have beamed down to old Earth after being caught in a time warp. While our engines are being worked on, we've decided to investigate and gather data on this time period." "We'll split into two teams. Mr. Spock and Mr. Scott, find data in the town library...Myself, Doctor McCoy, and Ensign Rogers will look around the city." "I've fashioned up a machine that will locate this library." Mr. Scott said. "Excellent. Signal when you've finished." Kirk said. "Don't you think carrying around that phaser is a bit...revealing Mr. Spock?" "Not particularly, Mr. Scott. This time period was particularly violent. It will ensure our safety." "What's going on over there, Mr. Spock?" "Excuse me, sir. Might I enquirer as to what's occurring?" "There's a prisoner transport. It's a serious deal, so I suggest you stand back for your own safety." "Fascinating." Spock said. "Look at this old port." Kirk said. "Amazing that people lived like this. It's amazing that these people ever got civilized." McCoy said. "I tell you, Jim. This is a dangerous spot." "Look out!" someone called. DEAD REDSHIRTS - ONE "Ensign Rogers!" Kirk said calmly. "I knew his father." "He's dead, Jim." McCoy said. "Take his phaser. We wouldn't want it to get into the wrong hands." "Kirk to Enterprise." "Enterprise, Lieutenant Uhura here." the response came. "Uhura, inform security that we have one casualty. Have them send down another security officer." "Understood, Captain." "He should be beaming down here." Kirk said. "Ensign Ryan, reporting as ordered sir." "Damnit Jim, I'm a doctor not a soldier." "Give him the phaser then Bones." "Let's keep going." "Mr Spock, moving to the other side of the blockade isn't going to help." "Quite true, Mr. Scott, but we might be able to ask them to let us through." "Excuse me, sir and ma'am. Might we enter this building?" "I'm sorry." Deputy Chief Scott said. "We can't let you through yet." "Mr Spock. this is telling me that what we're looking for is in there." "We must get through." "Excuse me sir, what is this facility?" "Don't you know? This is the Alien Defense Unit Headquarters." "We're training just in case of an incident. You're free to look around." "Excuse me, sir. There is a giant bug behind you." "What?!" Mr. Spock used his Vulcan neck-pinch. "We should be good for the next few minutes, let's go." "Excellent maneuver, Mr. Spock." "Look at this old truck." McCoy said. "Indeed, it's very interesting." Kirk said. "What on Earth is that?" McCoy asked. "Phasers!" Kirk said. Both the alien and Ensign Ryan disappeared! DEAD REDSHIRTS - TWO "Ensign Ryan...I knew his uncle, a dear friend of mine." "Kirk to Enterprise." "Enterprise, Lieutenant Uhura here." "Ensign Ryan has been killed in the line of duty. I recommend him for commendations." "I'll get Security to send someone else down." "Put Mr. Chekov on the line, please." "Chekov here, sir." "Mr. Chekov, what's the situation with the engines?" DEAD REDSHIRTS - THREE "We're almost finished sir. Everything is clearing up and the vwessel is almost ready for movement." "Put Lieutenant Uhura back on." "Uhura here, sir." "Where is that security officer?" "I don't understand, Security informed me he should be here." "Strange, please send down another." "Lieutenant Rowe, reporting sir." "Aren't you a bit too pretty to be working in Security?" The Lieutenant giggled. "He's a very sound sleeper, Mr. Spock." "That is not logical. He isn't making noise, Mr. Scott." "It was an expression...never mind, Mr. Spock." "We must find the Captain." "Look at this beautiful farm, Lieutenant. I'd love to settle down here." "It's very pretty, Captain." "Hey you! Get off my land!" The farmer raised his ax menacingly. Kirk shot his phaser into the air to scare the farmer. "Jim, no!" McCoy yelled. The horse whined loudly. "Aieeee!" The Lieutenant screamed. She was trampled by the horse. DEAD REDSHIRTS - FOUR "She's dead, Jim." "No....no..." Kirk said slowly. "Let's go, Jim. Mr. Spock just gave the signal." "We have to get back to the beamdown point." Kirk said. "What's his problem?" McCoy asked. "We've got to get him to the hospital. His kidney is failing." "Here." McCoy said, fishing into his pouch. "Take this." He shoved a pill into his mouth. "Come on, bones." Kirk said. "Who was that?" "You know..." the patient said. "I'm feeling much better!" "Enterprise, beam up immediately." Spock said. --- I made the Spock ears out of the Series 3 elf ears. If you'd like to see any other pictures of the city, let me know. I think I covered most everything. Comments? Questions? Criticisms? Tomatoes? Quote
Leela Posted January 14, 2012 Posted January 14, 2012 That was an excellent read And I usually don't like reading photo stories. 4 dead redshirts... no wonder Lego produces that many police sets, Lexington a very dangerous place to live in. But at least Bones saved the kidney guy. Quote
cimddwc Posted January 14, 2012 Posted January 14, 2012 Great! Just wondering what's the maximum number of dead redshirts on one ST episode – wasn't that 4, too? Quote
lightningtiger Posted January 14, 2012 Posted January 14, 2012 AWESOME story....very entertaining too ! Great work there 'Bob_'.....those poor red shirts....they always cop it ! Brick Me Down Scotty ! Quote
Bob Posted January 14, 2012 Author Posted January 14, 2012 Great! Just wondering what's the maximum number of dead redshirts on one ST episode – wasn't that 4, too? I'm not entirely sure, but I think it was either four or five. Thanks for the compliments everyone! Quote
Vindicare Posted January 15, 2012 Posted January 15, 2012 Very cool, entertaining...and deadly story. Could you post a picture from the opposite end of the first shot? Basically, another overhead view of your city. Quote
CMP Posted January 15, 2012 Posted January 15, 2012 Captain Kirk? Is this some kind of joke??? Nice city, anyway... I really like how you've laid out the main street. Quote

Basically, another overhead view of your city. I'll get to work on it right away. Captain Kirk? Is this some kind of joke??? Nice city, anyway... I really like how you've laid out the main street. Your character is in their somewhere, I think. I know I placed all the characters from Suburbia (even some from Red Scare) into the city. Quote
Bob Posted January 20, 2012 Author Posted January 20, 2012 I've almost finished with a few other things, new pictures will follow soon! Quote
Rook Posted January 20, 2012 Posted January 20, 2012 Great story work. I'd love see you turn this into a comic strip or stop motion movie. Quote
K-Nut Posted January 20, 2012 Posted January 20, 2012 I feel left out. Where's Ashley? Eh, whatever, you'll make a MOC for the Jackson-Baker wedding, I have no doubt. Quote
Dakar A Posted January 20, 2012 Posted January 20, 2012 Nice! I enjoyed your city layout! I don't know about you, but I wouldn't fell that my city was complete without ALL of the streets having sidewalks. But I know how hard it is is to come by dark bley and light bley plates in large quantities! Great sotry, you could tell it would be a long one becuse of the massive quantities of Ensigns killed ! Trek on! Dakar Quote
Bob Posted January 21, 2012 Author Posted January 21, 2012 I feel left out. Where's Ashley? Eh, whatever, you'll make a MOC for the Jackson-Baker wedding, I have no doubt. Look closely in the first picture. Thanks for the kind comments everyone! Quote
Rumble Strike Posted January 23, 2012 Posted January 23, 2012 (edited) Lovely stuff, Bob! The Suburbia mystery game setting had a great feel to it and the Star Trek exploits show off the city nicely Edited January 23, 2012 by Rumble Strike Quote
Fugazi Posted February 7, 2012 Posted February 7, 2012 Hey Bob, I followed the link in your signature to this thread I missed when you first posted... Ah, the memories! I'm glad to notice that Deputy Chief Scott is still standing duty! It's great to see more of Lexington, a city of drama and mystery! Plus, I'm a long time Trek fan so I enjoyed the story. Reminds me of ST:IV and many installments from the original series visiting "alternate Earths". Thanks! Quote
Bob Posted February 15, 2012 Author Posted February 15, 2012 It's great to see more of Lexington, a city of drama and mystery! Plus, I'm a long time Trek fan so I enjoyed the story. Reminds me of ST:IV and many installments from the original series visiting "alternate Earths". Thanks! Thanks, and sorry for the rather delayed reply. Most of the Original Series of Star Trek either involved encountering a planet "very similar to Earth" or saving the ship because it was under attack by a mysterious entity. But, I love the Original Series the best. Quote
