Emergence

The Magic SOB forum is for posts of story sequences that are frequently vignette-based. Put those here while actual battle reports can go in Reports From the Field.
You must talk like James T. Kirk in this forum at all times. Leonard Nimoy is fine too.

Emergence

Post by Semaj Nagirrac » Wed Jul 30, 2014 4:31 pm

Image

On a nameless world, the Zuppon Mining Co. conducts a mineral survey near a naturally formed clump of GT.

"Man, I could get used to these open spaces."

Image

"Survey is almost complete, sir! We're double checking the analysis now!"

Image

"Everything looks good. According to the estimate, GT has been forming here naturally for nearly 600,000,000 years."

Image

"Now that is a tremendous find! I think it's safe to call it in. I'll meet you guys back at the ship."

Image

*BZAP*

Image

"Take cover!"

"Who are they?"

"No time! Get behind the rock!"

Image

"Comms are jammed. We're on our own. Any suggestions?"

"This survey tool can shoot a GT projectile when overcharged. I bet I can take one of them out."

Image

"Got one in my sights now."

Image

*BOOM*
*THUNK*

"AAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!"

Image

"Excellent shot! Overcharge that thing again and let's mop up the rest!"

"Right!"

Image

"Oh... Then again-"

Image

*PEW PEW PEW PEW PEW*

Image

"Come on, mate. You're going to be alright."

"It burns like crazy!"

Image

"Is there a problem here?"

"Sir, no sir!"

Image

"What happened to this soldier?"

"As you can see, the miners shot a piece of overcharged GT right through him, my lord."

Image

"Is is painful?"

"What do you think?! No, I'm having the time of my life here, genius!! Get it out! Get it out!"

Image

"The kingdom thanks you for your service. Allow me to ease your suffering."

"Wait! What are you-"

Image

*PEW*

Image

"My valiant warriors, today we do not claim victory. Today, we send a message to our foes. Avalon will have her revenge!"

"HUZZAH!!!!"

The colors work pretty well and in one of my former posts I remember stating that the crown is the official symbol of Imperial Avalon. Thanks for reading.

I find it amusing but unsurprising that the ZMC is Avalon's first target.

I really like the new look for the troops. It looks better now that they all have the same torso. The leader looks completely badass as well. I absolutely love his look.

This probably won't go unnoticed though. I'd imagine that a ZMC investigative force will be on its way sometime soon.

This is what I was about to say, too. He's like a blue VoL Einherjar, but even cooler. Killing off his own wounded men is kinda crappy though, but then again not entirely unexpected.

I just finished reading Avalon's storyline on the wiki. Pretty good stuff, man.

It makes this all the more exciting!

Keep it up, James Carrigan. :wink:

I went a little crazy with the effects. Sorry for the annoyance.

Image

"We're done here. Prepare to move out."

"Yes, my lord."

Image

"So, this is the conduct of a future king?"

Image

"I was wondering when you would reveal yourself. Come to lecture me more, have you?"

Image

"It appears to me that the lessons didn't fully sink in. You murder a wounded man and have your men greet me with great hostility."

Image

"Yes yes, of course. You may put your weapons down. This man is no threat."

Image

"In fact, I believe some of you may already know this man! For those who don't, please allow me to introduce my old mentor! He still clings to the past wearing that ridiculous uniform!"

Image

"Perhaps what he really needs is a refresher in swordplay..."

Image

"What do you say, old man? Up for the challenge?"

Image

*BZZZZCCCHHHZZZZ*

Image

"You were taught to be better than this."

"I've kept an open mind! Isn't that what you told me to do?!"

Image

*K'CHINK*

Image

"Face it, old man! Your time is over! I shall usher in a new age!"

Image

"There are better ways to achieve glory."

"Says that fool that lost everything."

Image

*BZZZZCCCHHHZZZZ* *CRACK*

Image

"No! How can this be?!"

Image

"When you finally become worthy of Excalibur, then you shall never falter in battle."

Image

"Excalibur is a myth! Nothing more! I've spent too long listening to your fantasies, fool! I'm not a child anymore! I am the heir of Avalon! I am king!"

Image

"Someday, the entire Brikverse shall bend it's knee to me and my portrait shall be hung in the stars forever more!"

Image

"To be a king is to be a servant. Nothing more. When one is lost in the forest, they may only move forward by first remembering from whence they came."

Image

"I spare your life this day, Arthur Pendragon. I still believe that one day you shall become worthy of finding Excalibur."

Image

"EXCALIBUR IS A-"

Image

"-myth..."

Image

"My lord, what would you have us do?"

Image

"Get a crew down here to harvest as much GT as possible. I have a score to settle..."

Zero Annoyance. 100% impressed.

This bit is my favorite:

You convey emotion and body language particularly well in this medium.
