Scout Alpha Not Responding
The Lego Ideas Challenge Micro Space Exploration was a fun challenge to make a microscale build. I always like microscale, using just a few pieces to depict an object or scene. And such had effect!
But perhaps first the story. Now in Legomasters we built a planet surface with a windmill and aliens on the surface pf Pegasus 4. I referred back to this memory, as this story happens two planets further in the same system, Pegasus 6.
Scout Alpha on fire, with White Shadow One just flying over. It is unclear what happened there. It seems Pegasus 6 is not the barren uninhabited planet it was thought to be...
Well the guns from the yellow buildings are all lined to Scout Alpha. Can't be a coincidence, not?
In the Pegasus system, a new planet has been found, for now named as Pegasus 6.
Where the planet seemed uninhabited at first, a vast complex of yellow buildings was found, seemingly from an ancient forlorn civilization. Captain 1st class Lewis has been sent with his recon team. They just landed and started unloading for their thorough examination. Let's listen in live to see what's going on.
Cpt: Get it movin', get it movin'!
Off: Sir, all vehicles are out and we're.... wait.... oh
Cpt: What!?
Off: I dont know sir. Scout Alpha reported some movement of the towers.
Now it's all noise. We've lost contact
Off: No wait. Scout scope and Scout Beta see fire and smoke coming from
Scout Alpha. It seems they're in trouble sir
Cpt: Probably nothing more than dust causing some malfunction. Send in
some support, but on't let it delay recon
Off: Yes sir
Officer: Sir? White Shadow One just flew over, reporting Alpha is ablaze.
Speculations of more movement in the buildings.
Cpt: What is going on?
The Power of Mircobuilding
As mentioned above, I really like microbuilding. Can you tell a powerfull story with just a few LEGO pieces? Well...
Fun detail is that earlier this build featured a three piece uild that made Lego Ideas refuse the build as entry. The roller skate, with a tile-clip and screwdirver was considered too much a nowadays tank and thus the build contained 'violence'. Three pieces was enough to have the build considered a military build. That is the power of microbuilding ;-).
