A Moctley Crew
Journal entry 74
Santa Fe, New Mexico
Today, Frankie told me we are going to be heading off to Satan’s Nursery to “whack a few eggs” (aka, destroying Harvester nesting sites). At first I thought he was messing with me…but he wasn’t. What stupidity! Everyone in HRC (Human Resistance Command) knows Satan’s Nursery is Harvester-breeding country; you might as well attack the Mother Brain with a can opener, for frick’s sake! But hey, if that’s what those high-falutin maggots want, then that’s what they’re gonna get. Yeah, I know it may seem whiny of me to get hot and bothered over a search and destroy op, but you gotta understand: Satan’s Nursery isn’t a cake-walk. It’s the borderline between the Plague and the littered refuse of our ancestors, a place of constant movement and expansion by Harvesters. Only the very brave or the very stupid attempt to fool around in that sector. Luckily, our team is a bit of both…
Word around the battalion is that the Breeders are picking up the pace with their terraforming work, especially around Satan’s Nursery...which is definitely not good news. Harvesters in general are disgusting, vile creatures, but the Breeders are especially so. These…things…birth future Warriors, Drones, and other Breeders to perpetuate an everlasting supply of violence upon humanity. They aren’t the brightest abominations, but if their brood is threatened, they’ll go berserk; I once saw a Breeder slice and dice its way through a full platoon of first year recruits who got caught out in the open…poor idiots…
The only reason I think we’ll make it out of this scrape is ‘cause we’ve got good ‘ol Captain Cauldron to lead us. Last time, we went in to Satan’s Nursery with this nit-wit of an officer who practically tripped over a Warrior hive. Thank heavens we’ve got Cauldron for this run; the man’s goal in life is to basically kill every last Harvester in North America. Now, that may seem like a bit of an exaggeration, but trust me, when he cranks up that EMP Conker and nails those metal bugs one after the other, you really start to believe it.
Frankie, as usual, couldn’t care less about this mission. Gosh-darnit, that man is so dry, I’d lay money on the fact that his mother was a dust storm. He’s pure Texan: slow-talker, chews tobacco, and loses money at the card table like a pro. I will give the man credit, though: he’s a beast when it comes to sniper rifles. I once saw him coolly smoke-check a three ton Warrior at twenty meters…with an old .30 06, of all things! How crazy is that!?
The one person who seems to think everything is gonna turn out juuuuuuust fine is ‘Stache. Pfft…that stupid monkey has got to be the loudest, brashest pig on the planet. He wouldn’t even be with us if poor Woolie hadn’t gotten himself wasted at that nasty business up in Yuma. I give him and his lousy energy crossbow (a wussy-weapon, I might add) about three seconds to live before they’re both annihilated by a crazed Breeder…
I’m not too thrilled with the mission, but hey, we’ve got our orders and nothing is gonna change ‘em. I just wish Don could write to me; the electrical lines are down between here and California, so I’m starting to miss him real bad. Worse, I found a nick on my trusty war-blade the other day, which is definitely bad luck. Honestly, nothing seems to be going right lately…except for the fact that I found a pair of Glock 18s yesterday. Ahhh…I love Glocks, especially the fully auto babies with the front grips. Everyone claims they’re “girlie” guns, but you know what? When you’ve got blood-thirsty Harvesters charging you, those lovely twenty round clips are gonna knock the stuffing out of em!
The egg-broods shouldn’t be too hard destroy; we’ve just got to fry the Breeder, take out the energy-fungi that nurtures the pathetic little grubs, burn em, and head home without being killed...yep, easy as one, two, three!
The main problem is the Sentinels; the Harvesters like to put those overgrown worms everywhere they lay eggs. They aren’t dangerous, but they can alert Warrior Hives of movement, smells, and even sounds. Ya know, the more I talk about this mission the crazi-Oops, outta time! We’ve gotta gear up now. I’ll write more tomorrow…if I’m still alive by then…
Background info:
Well, nothing else to really say except this has easily been my favorite creation to build in the past few months. Oh, and for anyone whose mildly curious, the Breeder design was inspired by (of all things) Dark Helmet from “Spaceballs (yeah, I watch waaaaay too many sci-fi movies). I hope you’ve enjoyed the creation, and as always:
GO MOCTLEY CREW!!!

Man, this is sweet! I love it. With the generous pile of rusty junk and the dark and sharp lines of the Breeder, this is horrifically picturesque. Your story accented the pictures so well. Yes, this will be a build to come back to every once in a while. |

NICE! this has got to be the first story I have fully read on MOCpages. the whole MOC is breathing "ApoMOC", it is truly amezing. It's no cobble stone design, but I think it has got some reverence *wink*... Totally love the creation. I wish I had this kind of inspiration... |

Is the Darth Vader's helmet an official LEGO element?
Yep! Comes from the Star Wars Technic set # 8010, which I'm keeping in storage for my best friend :) |
