New fen in space

[Rakhasa]

Starbase 1 is said to be launched in "november 2007"; no exact date. November 10  is as good a day as any. Also, it eventually moved at an unamed date ("when the Utopia Planitia Settlement was built", wich was in... late 2007). Let's take this "built" with a grain of salt, and claim than they waited until Utopis was a proper settlement. Starbase left Earth orbit in (closes eyes and touches the calendar) 7 October 2008.For Kandor, we know than, per the Wiki timeline, "Fall/Winter 2007: First wave of handwavium-equipped explorers hit orbit, Luna, Mars", and also than the Watchower is the oldest structure in Luna.The second part has to be poetic license: The supers would need to build shelters for thenselves first, before they could start the Watchtower.. Even then, those shelters probably would have been temporay. (In fact, given his manias, they would be temporary if Oscar had any kind of say in the city design, to be changed by prettier houses as soon as the Watchower had available living space) The official start of construction date can be the 1rst of January, 2008, to celebrate the new year.I have the basic timeline for the first few months, subject to chance for dramatic purposes once I start to write the origins fic:-17 october, 2007: Finds some handwavium in the garden.-28-29 october: Biomod acident, a bucket of water and 'wavium falls on him, the dog and the laptop. Also, the news of That Con break on the TV. He wakes vamped, panics, hears the news about the other biomoded gettign taken away by the USA governent, panics even worse, flees the city and hides in his parents country house.-November:  Still hiding. Discovers the first quirks of his mod. Absolutely refuses to see any doctor. His parents strongarm him to get checked by one of his cousins, a nurse. Not than she knows anything about accidntal biomods, but she is able to get surplus blood from the hospital.-10 November: Construction of Starbase 1 begins. A slow news day, it appears in the "human interest" section of the news.-26 november. His dog is discovered. Unfortunately, no one had noticed than the agent who investigates was slowly suffering a nervous breakdown and religous mania due to the "demonic mutations". As soon as he appears, he starts shooting. Oscar picks Bernie the AI, and the three of then run away for the hills. Literally: They hide in one of the abandoned mine shafts he used to play in as a child. A public opinion storm begins, but he is unaware of this.-29 november: Still unaware of the news, and with newly increaside paranoia levels, he thinks the cop actions are sanctioned. He decides it is not safe anymore in Earth. That night, he retuns home, grabs a couple of bags with necesites, and 'waves himself a space suit.-30 november: Starts 'waving Scorpio-1 December, midnight: Scorpio launchs towards Starbase 1. Too late, he notices the dog lacks a space suit.-December: To earn some money and get supplies, he works in the construction of Starbase 1; at its current level, Scorpio is slow, but can to tow very heavy materials and move panels in place. He builds the fisrt scorpio add on, the walls of Deck 1, which increase living space. Tired all the time, he thinks it is due to a lack of blood. The dog gets his suit, and his movil gets a 'wave coating to contact his family.-December 23: Travels to Luna to haul some cargo for the Watchower proyect. Delays in the unloading make him remain in luna to sleep. He discovers the "sleep in your home ground" quirk.-December 26: After a couple more days of bad sleep, he decides than he cannot live in a space station permanently. He leaves Starbase 1 and asks to join the Watchower proyect. He picks some of the construction materials used to build shelters, which he uses to finish Deck 1 and build Deck 2 in Scorpio.-January 1, 2008: With a small ceremony and a bigger party, the first stone of the Watchtower is placed.And this is the Scorpio soon after Deck 2 was added. Not that the part with the hand is all that good, but it is the best my skills could do:[img]http://www.accessdenied-rms.net/forums/forumimportfiles/cd63620d70bd01a0597ea00180cef2955ddff5c0_r.bmp">I noticed than the wiki character images are mostly 3-D drawings. Is there some rule about, not to put too fine a point about it, steal a picture from soemwere in the vast 'net? Because that is how I picture Vykos, but I could not draw it by myself if my life depended on it (I can pass without photo in the profile, but aksing beforehand is not that hard...)
