Hello Hero Factory fans!
As you may know, I (XTN, not Martinus Zibelia) have 2 LEGO blogs currently operating: the one you are on now and StoneHart Hero Factory. I've never really been a fan of operating these two blogs continuously, so effective this month, I have set up a new domain which combines StoneHart Hero Factory and Mission: Drones to create our optimum HF blog! In fact, we wont't be doing just HF, we'll also do some more stories, Bionicle, and even System!
I've set up the shortcut domain www.stonehart-lego.blogspot.com to take you to the main page.
To be clear, ALL posts from www.stonehart-mocs.blogspot.com and www.mission-drones.blogspot.com have been copied to the new domain www.stonehart-lego.blogspot.com and all future LEGO-related posts will be made there and only there.
Go check out the new stuff and spread the word!

Chapter 2, part II: Arrival
[From Slasher's log]
When I got the call to do this, I was pretty stoked that I was going to be working on a huge mission like this- working with some of the most respected names in the Factory, getting some sweet new upgrades and retrofits, et cetera, et cetera. Arriving at Nibiru VI just made my point clearer.
When we arrived, we were unsure what to do with ourselves. The planet had an... inviting... glow to it.
Gaaf recommended we get back into the dropship and dock in a forest that just so happened to be within a 20-mile radius of the outpost where the drones were rumored to be. So we did just that.
It was approaching dusk when we got to the forest. So, we stayed up pretty late and made plans for tomorrow with Zibelia (via HeroConnect, of course). After that, we headed into the ship's dormitory and switched to dormant mode.
But, a few hours later...
[swish...rustle...rustle...hisssssss.....THUMP!]
"Hey, Crimson, did you hear something?"
(to be continued...)

Chapter 2, Part I: The journey
[From Bos' log]
We got the call- a drone army is infiltrating one of our remote stations. We were awaiting a call from Zibelia letting us know that he found the station on our radar.
The cockpit's transmission screen lit up a few minutes later:
[Message from Martinus Zibelia, MMg]
The station has been traced via a security breach at the remote station at Nibiru VI in the Kalax system. The trip should take between 10 and 12 Tranquilian hours.
[end message]
(By the way, that's about a day in your Earth hours.)
The entire ADJ was lodged with me in a team-sized dropship. I was assigned to the navigation station, helping Rhey stay on course via a few peripheral screens and an eSextant. We did hit a few intermittent rocky spots (like an asteroid belt, and, oh yes, nearly driving straight into a neutron star), but the trip was mainly smooth.
We arrived at Nibiru earlier than we expected. The planet had a very mixed climate, similar to your Earth. There was water, ice, forests, deserts, and marshes, but the majority of the planet was sandy and beachlike.
Temperature at arrival: 300 Kelvin (80 degrees Fahrenheit)
Climate: Somewhat dry

A short note about Mission: Drones!
To all who view this story and have been anxiously awaiting the next entry, I am here to bring you news. Unfortunately, I have been busy managing other teams and writing about their endeavours and have not had enough time to commit to putting the story of the ADJ out there.
Rest assured, this is not the end. I've just been busy, and I PROMISE you that Bos' blog entry will come very soon. He has some interesting knowledge to give us, and I'm sure you'll enjoy reading it.
I've set a date on my Internet calendar here at the Factory and on that date, I will be reminded to put out the next few chapters of Mission: Drones!.
Again, this isn't the end.

Mission: Drones! Chapter 1, Part III: The evil rises
A voice thunders over the Factory's PA system.
"Attention all heroes! Code RUBY! An army of drones is approaching one of our remote stations! We are assigning Mission Manager Zibelia and his team to vanquish these drones, so good luck to him and his team!" At the point where the announcement concluded, I had already fashioned a team of 15 heroes (two teams of 7 and a leader,) and had recently assigned the leader of each team. Team A's leader was Gaaf Kiisilun, an expert Defender. Team B's leader was Broya Kiisilun, a sharp-shooting Enforcer, and the leader of the ADJ was a master Brawler, Vergis Rhey.
Now, the story of the villains.
It happened one day at the Factory where famed Manager Nathaniel Zib was working on an enlargement of the infamous "Melissa" virus. The experiment went awry, and all hell broke loose. After that incident, the long, gangly entity stole blueprints for Hero Factory technology and used it to create a massive drone army.
The leaders of the army were Generals Argentum and Aurum, Argentum being silver, and Aurum being gold. Argentum led most of the specialty drones that you will see later, and Aurum led an army of color-coded drones and scouts.
I apologize if I am going to leave you hanging, but this is the end of Chapter 1. Chapter 2 will involve the trip to the station and then the battle will begin there!

Mission: Drones! Chapter 1, Part II: The new colors
The team was called the Anti-Drone Junta, or A.D.J. for short. Its members come from many different teams that all responded to my call. Although most of these heroes were rookies, these brave heroes decided to try a difficult challenge.
The "colors" of these heroes are in fact their personalities that are so diverse because of their different hero cores.
Speaking of the Anti-Drone Junta, here is an introduction to the team members.
The team is so large that the 12 heroes had to be divided up into two groups of 6. Here is Team B.
 |
| Arctos, reckless and antisocial (arctic wolf), |
 |
| Chameleo, exuberant and unique (chameleon), |
 |
| Felis, full of energy (black-footed cat,) |
 |
| Nocturnus, stoic and secretive (sloth bear,) |
 |
| Tercus, daring and rebellious (eagle,) |
 |
| and Helios, sometimes hotheaded, and sometimes keeping his cool (lion) |
The next post will involve the enemies, so stay tuned!
