(lugnet ate my first reply, so here is a repost)

I’m trying to figure this out...

The ship comes in, unloads some containers, they are hoisted by a crazy crane into a pit. This pit is adjacent to another pit containing an unruly tentacled monster that likes to tear people’s heads off and wave them around.

A container is dropped, and the contents are revealed to be prisoners, who seem at first to be destined to feed the beast in the pit, but the chief “doctor” of the facility and her “nurses” go to retrieve the prisoners, which makes me think some ghastly experiments will be performed on them, and the pit beast is just an experiment gone terribly wrong, or terribly right.

While all this is going on, there is an assault by soldiers wearing goblin-like jungle camo. A crazy giant cyborg thing (another experiment?) gives them some momentary trouble. Then finally there’s the “Gentleman Crab” mecha on guard duty, froth from the river current forming around immersed legs... whew!

That was a lot of fun. Now, if you had zoomed out and revealed that you had built this entire scene on the back of a giant four legged mecha, I might have been impressed (smack). ;-)
