[HH] An old friend

Post by BrickSyd » Sat Nov 03, 2012 2:43 pm

I hope it's not too late for a submission..


Location: Planet Noxar (Fleurdelys System)
Sector II - Deep Space Management HQ
Image
The supervisor of Deep Space Management is working in his office when the intercom is activated.
Office secretary: ''Sir. Captain Blaze has arrived.''
Supervisor: ''Let her in please...


Image
Nadia Blaze: ''You wanted to see me?''
Supervisor: ''You know I always want to see you my dear Nadia.''


Image
Nadia smiles and the supervisor continues.
Supervisor: ''We have located a group of pirates in orbit around planet Mirage.''
Nadia Blaze: ''Pirates? On Mirage? What are they doing on that desert?''
Supervisor: ''We have been informed that there would be another artifact on the planet. The source of this information is not considered very reliable but we cannot risk that this artifact, if it exists, falls into the hands of the pirates. Because you did so well at the president's speech some time ago, you have been selected to get there, deal with the pirates and investigate.”
Nadia Blaze: ''That will be done sir.''


Image
Nadia goes back to the Galaxy.
Nadia Blaze: ''Get everyone on board and prep the ship. We are leaving in thirty minutes.''
Worker: ''Yes ma'am!''


Image
Later.
Science advisor:''I do not scan ships around Mirage but I am picking up a large quantity of debris floating in the higher orbit of the planet. It looks like the remains of a fleet.''
Officer: ''Taken down by pirates?''
Science advisor: ''I don't think so. I think this was the pirate fleet.”
Nadia Blaze: ''Good! We may not have to deal with pirates after all.''
Officer: ''I'd rather deal with pirates than with reptiles..''
Science advisor: ''Captain! I found an active beacon on the surface.''
Nadia Blaze: ''That will be a good place to start. Find a nearby landing site.''


Image
The Galaxy lands. There are scorpions and some reptiles (size 2) in the area.
Objective: Secure the landing zone.

Troops deployment. There is also two guards on the top of the Galaxy.

Despite their armored status, the heavy infantry really didn't last long against the claws of the reptiles..


Image
Th officer disengage from close combat and open fire with his men.
The whole group concentrate their firepower and takes one hit point from a reptile.

CONCLUSION
Image
Nadia gets to the altar.


Image
She finds a note:
“Nice to see you Nadia”
-Syd
Nadia Blaze: “What mockery is this?”


Image
A group enters the area.
Major Natalya: “I am impressed. I must admit at some point I thought you wouldn't make it.”


Image
Nadia Blaze: “The Assyrians!”
The men rise their guns.


Image
Major Natalya: “Oh please..”
Image
Spare your men. We are not here to fight you.. this time. I just want to talk.


Image
Nadia Blaze: “You're the ones who destroyed the pirate fleet and took the artifact!”
Major Natalya: “Wish I had but sadly, no.”
Nadia Blaze: “Then what do you want?”
Major Natalya: “I want every information you have on Syd Niav and, of course, I still want the first artifact.”
Nadia Blaze: “The artifact is not on the Galaxy.”
Major Natalya: “I know but your archive is and I also know that Niav was once part of the galaxy crew.”
Nadia Blaze: “You're wasting your time. Niav is dead.”
Major Natalya: “Oh I'm not so sure.”


Image
Major Natalya: “This picture was taken from orbit a few moments before the portal on the altar was activated for the first time.”
Nadia Blaze: “...”
Major Natalya: “He's the one who took the artifact. We were tracking him but we lost the trail when the Galaxy arrived. Now let's go. My patience has limits.”


Image
Inside the Galaxy, the science officer was waiting for Nadia.
Science officer: “Captain. The squad returned from the crash site with a survivor. He claims they were attacked by the Black Bird.”
Nadia Blaze: “That's impossible.”
Major Natalya: “And why is that impossible?”
Nadia Blaze: “Because the Black Bird is a ship that does not exists.”

This is one of the best battles I've ever seen here. The terrain was imaginative and had a lot of character. The use of gore effects was clever and often had very smooth, intuitive placement. The running battle concept with the tactical objectives was interesting and really added a lot to the narrative. I loved the diversity of the enemies. And the fact that, despite their diversity, they still formed cohesive groups. That ship is the boss. And all your interiors were brilliant, just brilliant. The supervisor's office was particularly well designed. There were also subtle parts of the narrative that I really enjoyed. Moments like "Do you think we will save him?""It's too soon to tell." and the part where the medic redshirts and Nadia apologizes as she's cutting his head off.

Even if it is too late, this one should totally be accepted because it's one hell of a report.

The thing is, others could have done better as well if they had more time, or might claim that they would have, so no.

The deadline had been extended to Saturday as per Runny and BFenix's requests.

And also because BrickSyd is one of the best writers of Battle Reports.
