So more sneaking and generally hiding (with frequent use of the flame thrower) took place today.

I am about half way through now. Because I don’t know the station I spent quite a lot of time going round in circles. There were a few annoying times when a locked door suddenly became unlocked on the way back through a section traversed earlier.

The one thing I have learned is that the Seegson Working Joe’s along with APOLLO (the computer system) are not you friend. Oh and it didn’t take me long to realise that unless people on this space station are prone to have explosive lungs then there are more than one creature on this station.

I went on a journey with one into the gas giant… luckily for me there was an airlock and Space suit handy.

The Alien AI is pretty cool. It will learn where you tend to hide and will start searching for you.

I will carry on tomorrow evening and see how far I get.

So based on what I have seen on YouTube I am about a third to a half way through the game. By heck this game can give you the Heeby Jeebies. In fact I actually turned the music off as it was causing my heart rate to rise. Proof indeed that music can make a difference.

Warning…potential Spoilers

So in today’s little soirée around Sevastapol Station I had to question a character called Marlow. He started to discuss what had happened, quick cutscene and then we are playing as him and we are on LV426 trying to find the source of an enigmatic signal. I really couldn’t think what would happen when we got to a derelict space ship.

On the upside we now know how the ‘creature’ got onto Sevastapol Station. On the upside I now have a flame thrower on top of all of the weapons etc that I have cobbled together…on the downside, none of them will kill it.

This game is giving me loads of ideas for the RPG.

So today I made the decision on which school I will become the head teacher (principal) of.

I sent my email along with what I thought about the process. The image above pretty much portrays the gist of my message.

The title says it all really. Today I had to visit my potential replacement schools. It was really stressful. Everyone knew why I was there which really didn’t help.

So I threw a bit of paint on some of the industrial pallet miniatures. My phone was charging so no photos.

After this bit…so I had a blast at getting a bit of painting done. I chose these to make a start on.

It was actually a bit of a struggle to get motivated. I need to get the Sumo ring painted by Wednesday for my mates birthday.

On a totally different and very exciting note… we have a new family member… Meet Maggie.

She arrived this morning. Esther and one of the kids went down to Aberdeen to pick her up from the SSPCA. Poor little soul was found near a large body of water with a lot of scars and a broken tail. The rescue centre’s hypothesis was that someone tried to chuck her in by her tail. She is about 5 months old.

This evening I set about filling the gaps in the Sumo Ring.

While doing so I realised it was much bigger than the small ruined house I made. With the help of the miniatures I realised that although a bit bigger it wasn’t super massive. I did it with a 60% reduction. Problem is o cannot remember by what amount reduced the house by. I really, really should write this stuff down, or at least put it in the same place!

So I decided to print a couple of the motorbikes  from Pront Minis. These once again are going to be abandoned…

Under the wheels are some Nissan huts and gun emplacements for Jon’s game. At the top is a power maul from some ‘sort of’ Arbite’s.

This evening I fought with the PC to download some more miniatures for the Geek Club. I eventually got some stuff sliced and printed, but too late to take them in tomorrow.

I couldn’t find any of my Vallejo Air that had WW2 German armour colours among the ranks so I did the next best thing… Contrast fir the tracks, Xpress colour for the German and Speedpaint for the British.

Not perfect, but they will do …apologies to any purists out there.

So tomorrow I find out where is available for me to move onto… for those that have been following for a while, they decided to go with HQ and my little school is to shut and my most amazing team are being redeployed, as am I for that matter. None of us want to go, but have no choice. As an officer of the council I have to be careful what I say, but it is an absolute crying shame (feel free to add in any expletives you see fit).

Well this evening I went a bit wild and undercoated whatever I could find black. This was mainly terrain.

I also did more printing, this time it is a Sumo ring in 15mm for my mates birthday next week.  I already printed and cured the street fish ponds. An image can be found Here
