I think I'm finally happy with my ARC-170. I've made it completely olive and black. There's no maroon on it and I think it really has an Imperial feel to it.



I hope you like it. Thanks for looking.

Hasbro is so stupid... ...CAommander Gree...don't they proofread their cardbacks?!

     GRAND ARMY OF THE REPUBLIC MISSION LOG
     STAFF SARGEANT LISTER, 305TH LEGION

  'After that fiasco 3 days earlier, we continued pressing on into the Kashykk wilderness. We came across a dirt road, and it followed into an un-discovered mining village. We went back to Command and gathered an expedition team. Commander Rayders said I was to lead it.

Upon arrival, I radioed in to Command and told them that my squad had located the vilage and we were requesting reinforcements.

10 minutes later, Commander Rayders and 2 frontliners had shown up. "Take your rifle up on top of that building and keep an eye on the area. I'll sweep the village." I saluted and left to carry out my orders.

Commander Rayders turned to his grunts. "Search the area. Leave no building unchecked. Make sure there are no hostiles."

He walked over the Urban Assault Vehicle and gave orders to the driver. "Refuel and report back to base. Keep contact between us and come pick us up when we radio in."


MEANWHILE......

I was laying on top of a nearby building. Looking over the city, a curious thought came into my head. Why was this here? Kashykk had very little precious metals. I shook it out of my head. I had a mission to complete.

One disadvantage to being a sniper is that the world inside the scope is virtually all-consuming. I didn't know that there was an extermist sneaking up behind me until I felt the cold hard metal of a pistol prodding me in the neck.

I froze. I realized that I could die right here, right now. Luckily, this one had other plans. He ordered me to stand up and put my hands over my head. I obliged, not wanting to lose my life today.

He took me down the stairs of the abandoned building. He burst open the ground level doors with a gun to my head, and was soon met by three rifles pointed at him.

"DON'T SHOOT!" He yelled. "I'LL PULL THIS TRIGGER, I SWEAR TO GOD!" Commander Rayders had steely calm. "Easy, big guy," he coaxed. "Just take your hand off the trigger. We don't want that thing to go off." "YOU CAN'T TELL ME WHAT TO DO! YOU HAVE NO RIGHT!" Clearly this guy was nuts. The driver, oblivious to what was going on, turned the corner, ready to leave. "I SAID STAY WHERE YOU ARE!" The rebel whipped around and shot the pilot in the head.

The extermist realized he had made a big mistake. He tried to stop me but I had alreadly turned around and had a punch going for him. It hit in the back of the head. Knocked him out cold.



"Excellent work, Sargeant. Let's go."  "But we can't just leave him here! He can tell us what the heck is going on! Where their base is at, everything!" I protested. The commander was silent for a second. '"You're right," Commander Rayders aggreed. "Put him in the car. I'll drive back."
While carrying him back, my mind was racing with questions. Why had he cornered me? Why was he the only one in the village? What was going on?


I suddenly realized that I was about to find out soon.

TO BE CONTINUED...


I hope you like it. Any comments are appreciated. Please leave me your thoughts-my previous one had only one response. Thanks for looking.

I think they should make the Corporate Alliance Tank Droid.


On another note, why did starwars.com have to put video advertisements in every other page? It got really annoying.

Not really a big update, kinda been low on cash for SW, but I did buy a BBI figure at ToysRUs last night. I also saw the wierdest thing, I didn't think this was a Mega-Buy variant: Plo Koon and AT-TE Gunner? Someone probably moved it around. Since Lister is my focal point for my photonovel, I decided I should give him a face. Anyway, I took a bunch of accesories off the BBI Navy Seal Sniper, the head of ATTE Gunner, got rid of his boots, and put it new softgoods. Hope you like it.



Here's a preview pic for the next installment for my photonovel.
TALES OF THE 305TH- A DANGEROUS SITUATION


Here you go. Not a big update, but I think Lister looks alot better. Thanks for looking.

GRAND ARMY OF THE REPUBLIC MISSION LOG
STAFF SARGEANT LISTER, 305 LEGION


     "We were stationed at the most remote place on Kashykkk. It was a mudhole- endless hours of slugging through swamps and bogs in search of the seemingly non-existent 'Anti-Republic Extermist Group', who had been launching raids on the local Wookie villages. It was around 11:00 AM on the fifth day we were there when all hell broke loose. We were on an average patrol, setting up motion sensors around the perimeter of a seldom seen clearing in the Kashykkk wilderness. Agen Kolar was accompyaning us on this patrol: Ki-Adi was back at the command center. There were sudden reports from the woods surronding the clearing. Commander's recon vehicle just obliterated into nothing, the Commander immediately killed. I suddenly realized that we were going up against an enemy we could not see- they had too much natural cover. 

Another Jedi Knight was on the mission as his first in the field, sadly it would also be his last. I heard an inhuman screaming sound come from overhead. I detached myself from my sniper scope long enough to see one of our legion's ARCs go down about 50 yards in front of us. The shock wave nearly knocked over the HASV and the assault vehicle behind us. The pilot died on impact, but the navigations one managed to climb out, coughing from the smoke, and he took shelter under the downed ship's hull.
 

Agen Kolar desperately tried to rally the forces behind the vehicle barrier but to no avail.

The marksmen and I tried to defeat the rebels, but we could do nothing. We fired into the woods blindly.


The scout trooper in the assault vehicle's accelerated particle cannon fired wildy into the woods, and were rewarded with a loud explosion, but the shells coming from the woods didn't slow down.

The Jedi and another marksman broke forward of our barrier and tried to charge the woods. The Jedi was hit with a artillery shell in the chest and the clone was hit with a napalm grenade on the spot. It was horrifying.


We continued firing, but so did the AREG. After a while, the HASV got started up and we slowly stemmed the flow. Suddenly, the firing stopped. The rebels were calling a retreat, for now. Our commander, Jedi, and a marksman was dead, two of our vehicles destroyed, and the legion's morale shattered. It was terrible.

     Back at the command center, Commander Rayders and I had a debriefing of our own. 'It's a miracle we survived that encounter,' I said. 'The rebels had us pinned down.'

' I know. Let's just hope and pray that's not a foreshadowing of things to come.'






I'm still learing this photonovel thing. I hope you like it. Any Comments/suggestions are appreciated. Thanks for looking.

I tried to read TCA's photonovels, but something was up with them and my computer wouldn't bring it up, so I didn't bother.
