Starblazers: Journey Home (Space Battleship Yamato 2199 RP)

Reader mode
Ah, I thought this was a different command ship. So we're actually changing series events further...

Oh yeah, we're changing its fate. It's too cool of a ship to go out that way! :V

I honestly thought that was a pretty badass way to go, but I can sympathize with that reading.

Well, like it says under the Cosmonaut Aubakirov's tiny dossier, Nikolay Romanov came from military intelligence in his country--but he's not going to be jumping over anyone to interrogate no alien, mostly because he (and everyone else) would still not be expecting them to be human, right? He'd probably be too wonderstruck to make any effective threats (and he's too nice a guy anyway). "No, you gentlemen can take point. I'm penned a report on how if I were the Garmillas, I'd fill my warships full of radioactive or toxic acid that could eat through a space suit. Let me know if you'd like a xerox of that."

EDIT: Oh, wow, I was expecting we'd be weeks from that discovery--Romanov is going to flip when he has to make his report back to the bosses on Earth. "No, I don't mean they look human...they are human. No, you're not listening to me...." :V

Well Schulz has been bombarding Earth into a radioactive wasteland for a while, there is enough anger to go around.

Yeah, you wouldn't want Romanov shuffling around asking if Shultz wants hot tea or cold tea because, hey, who knows what room temperature is on Zaltz when people don't even know it exists. He's the kind of guy who insist on bringing up whether or not the fact that the enemy warships are at least partially full of living, breathing human sailors and officers changes their battlefield doctrine, or their search & destroy doctrine, or there blah blah blah blah.
 
And then...the oppressive silence of it all. :lol

I'm this close to posting the character-devleoping filler I've already written out.

Go for it- I think we're just waiting on a couple people for the next GM post. @Kensai I think?

You've called my bluff: I actually didn't think we were going to jump literally into combat first, so I have a number of paragraphs of various non-combat dialog, including some technical jargon about the Aubakirov's structure. But I do have a few things loaded in the barrel about the first close-up observations of Garmillan warships, particularly getting close-up looks of manned naval fighters that are really the perfect shape and size for human aviators. As I recall, Kodai and Morii are still a little surprised by the humanoid combat robots--but you could justify that as a specific tool for engaging other humans (that would need to be able to open doors, fit through door frames, climb stairs up to the door, etc.). You can't make the same argument about space fighters, which wasn't a problem back when Garmillan aircraft looked very alien. In any case, it's something I can whip up.

Yeah, sorry about that. I suppose I should have been more clear.
At any rate, once we board the Gaiderol, we'll be getting our first look at some "real" Gamilons.
Of course they're not. We will find that out as well.
 
An amazing con is over. Got a 1/1000 Yamato 2199 Bandai model that I will assemble this Summer. It was marked down because it had Starblazers brand stickers on it. :V
Will make IC post sometime today.
 
Very nice. I've seen those for sale in at least one con I've been to--quite envious!
 
Yeah. I have one of those, got started on building it, then discovered that the sprue of transparent bits was missing.

I also have a couple of the EDSF Fleet sets - I think three of the one with two Murasame and two Yukikaze. I've got one of the new set (Kirishima, Murasame, Yukikaze, 2202 recolor) on order.

If my build of the Yamato goes well, I'm gonna order the Gamilas set

I want a Melda and Yamamoto model, personally.

Melda's probably the next figure I'd buy at a good price. Maybe Niimi if it were very cheap, but generally the pilots seem much more impressive in the Yamato Girls series. Melda, or Morii in her yellow flight suit, but that's way up there in cost.
