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). ;-)

Coop, you and I must be on the same wavelength, because nobody seems to have
understood the dio’s sublte yet full bodied storyline but you. You’ve
crystalized my thought and intentions eloquently. You had me at hello.

Built the thing on the back of a giant four-legged mecha?....doh!...if I hadn’t
already torn it down I’d implement that idea post-haste...why don’t you hit me
with these easy-fix ideas early? Jerk, you just want to see me loose. ;-)
