| Say it with me now... Yo Joe!! If you know you know. Snake Eyes is such an awesome character to work with and I had a blast recreating his iconic look. Timber was a joy as well getting just the right tweaks to make it look as realistic as this was challenging. Of course, I had to make this as soon as I did the Stormshadow image... I even did a Scarlet... yeah that one is so accurate... you'll see. For those who remember "GI Joe is the codename for America's highly trained special mission force. Its purpose: to defend human freedom against Cobra, a ruthless terrorist organization determined to rule the world." Ah those were the days. |

| Omega has had a couple of redesigns over the years but the same basic "Rogue Inspired" look still remains. Essentially she's a mashup between a Green Lantern and a Nova Corps. The concept is fairly straightforward save for one tiny caveat... She is the last Omega and possesses the full power of the "Omega Force". What is the Omega Force? I don't know yet but it sounds badass, right? Anyway, she's gotten her iRay update like most of my other characters and is ready for some storyboarding now. Stay Tuned for more concepts and redesigns. |

| In this shot, I wanted to convey just what kind of character Omega is. Self-propelled FTL space travel, and of course a hint of cosmic power in her hands. Omega should be considered a "Silver Surfer" level kind of character. I walk a fine line between Marvel and DC-style characters... some are OPAF, and others are street-level vigilantes. |

| So there was some time ago a story in which OBsidian traveled to an alternate dimension and got himself 4 new brides from a primitive tribe by accident. Two were later killed while trying to rescue him in a different story. The remaining two later assimilated into their roles aboard the ship quite well with Ai, assuming headship as "First Wife". She also assumed a role as chief of security, a role she takes seriously. Creating her look over time was a little difficult but I finally landed on one that spoke of her ethnic background and yet also paid homage to her elven & draconic nature. |

It takes a few minutes to coordinate the science and security teams, but soon, we have things well in hand. We move systematically through the station, clearing it deck by deck—a monumental task. In all, it takes 300 crew members two full days to secure the massive station.
I have my science teams begin disseminating the station’s research files to understand what they were really getting into. Meanwhile, my security teams go over every bit of sensor and station data with a fine-tooth comb. A bad day is becoming a worse week.
In the meantime, I keep the Phantasm at a discreet distance to avoid any issues and leave Shadow in charge. As we enter the central lab, Synthea sees it first. “Master! Over here!” I turn to look, gun drawn due to the urgency in her voice. “What do you got?”
“A life form, sir. It looks like one of the station’s crew.”
“Why didn’t we pick them up before?”
“It appears to be shielded inside this containment unit. Scanners can’t tell if they’re even alive.”
“Okay, let’s work on getting this field down and then we’ll see if they’re able to give us any information on what happened here.”
It takes a few minutes to hack through the security protocols, but we already have most of the station’s access codes, and Synthea makes light work of whatever is left. “I’m lowering the field now, Master.”
I turn to our subject and wave the science and medical teams over to run a scan before we even think of bringing this person aboard our ship. Besides, this station has better medical facilities than the Phantasm, so it might be best to have Lote’ come here and handle this instead.
“Sir.” My thoughts are interrupted by one of our lead medical officers. “What is it?”
“This woman is in deep cryo-stasis. It’ll be some time before we can get her transferred to the station’s hospital.”
“And why are you telling me this?”
“You’ll have to see for yourself, sir.”
As I approach the icy figure, I am a little stunned to see that this woman is the person the ship’s files identify as Dr. Hewitt, lead researcher and project coordinator for the station—AKA the head honcho. “Well, well, what do we have here? How is it you survived and everyone else vanished in a proverbial puff of smoke?” She doesn’t answer, and I don’t expect her to… yet.
I turn to my officer. “This is your number one priority. Contact the ship and get Lote’ down here ASAP. Place this deck and the hospital deck under full quarantine until further notice. Synthea is the only one granted access to come and go. Remain in your suits until further notice as well. Do not take any chances.”
Things are starting to look up but best not to count my chickens etc etc... |

This is a typical (IGFW) Federation crew, typically diverse in species and ready for anything. This crew in particular are the officers of the USS Bristol.
For this image, I wanted a similar look to Star Trek but not a complete ripoff. I think I achieved that and in typical fashion for me, it is highly kitbashed and then retextured so that all elements match. |

| As mentioned before Ai was a member of a primitive tribe of brown-skinned white-haired elves, their exceptionally long eyebrows were an other outstanding feature. In reality Ai is a member of a Draconic species known as Great Golden Dragons, her nature was hidden from her tribe for protection, Ai was trained as a warrior and huntress and was considered to be nigh unstoppable until she ran into Obsidian who defeated her in single combat with ease. Her tribe's laws demanded that since he defeated her and her life was spared her life belonged to the victor. She immediately conceded the fight when Obsidian demonstrated his immense strength and it was further cemented when he easily completed the trials her adopted father set before him. Even had he not taken her sisters as brides she would have left with him and followed him to the ends of the universe. Where Obsidian leads she follows... Obsidian is still unaware of this particular custom. Ai is a warrior of deep honor and even if she were to never return to her home she would honor the beliefs and tennets of her tribe unto death. |

I stand at the head of the conference table, my gaze sweeping over my crew, and my family. The air in the room is tense, the mystery of this vanished crew was weighing heavily on everyone. In the back of the room, I have called for team leaders from each department assigned to this mission for their in-person insight as well as possible recommendations on how we might proceed.
“Alright everyone, let’s get started,” I began. “We have a lot to discuss. Ai, what do we know about the station’s security status?”
Ai, my chief of security and incidentally my wife, stands up and addresses me formally in front of the rest of the crew. “Captain, the station’s security systems are fully operational. There are no signs of forced entry or sabotage. The logs show that all security protocols were followed up until the moment the crew disappeared. It’s as if they just vanished into thin air.”
I nodded. “Lote’, what about the medical scans?”
Lote’, glanced at her datapad. “My teams have scanned the entire station for pathogens, foreign entities, and unusual energy signatures. There’s nothing out of the ordinary. The only life form we’ve found is Dr. Hewitt, who is still in cryo-stasis. We’ll need more time to bring her out safely.”
“Thank you, Lote,” I then turn my attention to my Chief Engineer. “Sabrina Wildman, what can you tell us about the station’s engineering status?”
Sabrina leans forward on the table. “Captain, all diagnostics indicate that the station is operating at peak efficiency. All primary and backup systems are functioning normally, and there’s no indication of any mechanical failure. All power levels are stable across the board, and the environmental controls are functioning at optimal efficiency. There’s no reason to believe the station itself is at any risk of unforeseen malfunction.”
I turn to Synthea to get her thoughts on the situation since she's been on this op from the beginning, “Synthea, any insights?”
Synthea shook her head, a mix of frustration and concern evident on her face. “No signs of struggle, Captain. No residual energy signatures or indications of what happened. The crew just vanished without warning, some seemingly in the middle of their daily activities. We did find some unusual specimens in some of the labs scattered throughout the station. They appear to be of extra-dimensional origin. Our security teams have recorded their temporal frequencies as regards each specimen and, while no two are alike, the scans indicate that the one thing they seem to have in common is that they all appear to be alternate versions of the same subject.”
So they're collecting specimens of the same subject from alternate realities? Never mind how insanely difficult that is to do randomly, how the hell are they locating them, and why would they even want to?
“Alright, let’s hear from the department representatives. Security, engineering, and science/medical, please share your observations and suggestions.”
The security team lead speaks first. “Captain, given the lack of evidence, I recommend we maintain a high alert status and continue our scans. We should also consider the possibility of an external force or entity that we haven’t detected yet.”
The engineering representative nodded. “I agree. We should run a full diagnostic on the station’s systems once more, just to be sure. Additionally, I want to investigate those specimens more thoroughly. They may hold the only clues as to what happened to the station's crew.”
The science/medical rep adds, “We should prioritize bringing Dr. Hewitt out of cryo-stasis. She might have crucial information about the station’s research and what led to the crew’s disappearance. In the meantime, we should continue our bio-scans and monitor for any changes.”
I take a deep breath. “Good suggestions. Let’s move forward with implementing these actions. Ai, keep your teams on high alert in two-man teams. Sabrina, have your people run those diagnostics once more. Lote’, you're to prioritize Dr. Hewitt’s revival and continue to scan for anything out of the ordinary. Synthea, I want you to coordinate the science team's investigation of the specimens. Let’s get to the bottom of this.”
The gathered crew nods in unison and departs to carry out my orders, each heading to their respective tasks. I watched them go, determination etched on my face. The mystery of the vanished crew was far from solved, but we were one step closer to uncovering the truth. I have a bad feeling about this whole setup. |

| I am really starting to like Synthea as a character... There's a lot of personality in her face and mannerisms. Also, I love that she can wear sexy gear and it makes sense... without objectifying women in general (I'm anti-bikini armor) because when she does wear something provocative it's due to her programming. Otherwise, I need a solid reason to dress a female in something revealing and it has to speak about the specific woman and her mentality. |

| Lote' the youngest of Obsidian's brides is a complicated character, she is a skilled healer and doctor and uses both magic and technology to keep the crew of the Phantasm in good health. However, as regards her husband she does not feel affection romantically. This is because her true feelings lean towards women, not men. In her culture, this is considered taboo and has resulted in her being sexually repressed and having feelings of guilt about her preferences. She hasn't quite reached a level of understanding that enlightened people of the 46th century have and she hasn't made inquiries or researched anything about her homosexuality so is essentially still in the closet. She has vowed to bear children and even looks forward to it resigning herself to allow her husband to do what he must to make that happen. She is deeply in love with Aini who she believes feels similarly except that Aini only entertains her advances for the sake of peace within the home. Aini has spent many intimate moments with her and like most of the crew is oblivious to her inner turmoil. It will be... interesting once her sexuality comes to light. |
