As a result of the leak of information to the “reprehensible, war-monger
communist organization” Eastern Block, the eccentric corporation CerebrumInc
acted quickly in drastically reducing its workforce “in the interest of
security” and uprooting its operations to an undisclosed system. After a
year’s silence, CerebrumInc made its debut entry in the prestigious “Red
Rally” race across the Mars landscape. CerebrumInc’s entry was successful—the
first winning introductory entry in the history of the race. The corporation
promised future entries. Many criticized the corporation for using it as a
publicity stunt to smooth over rumors concerning the methods employed in
reducing their workforce. Further complaints and accusations were made
concerning the corporation’s alleged use of alien technology. CerebrumInc
declined requests to inspect their facilities or designs, again, “in the
interest of security.” In a fit of politics, the xenophobic IPRC
(InterPlanetary Racing circuit) rescinded the winning award and suspended
CerebrumInc from future entries “until further notice.”
This week CerebrumInc unveiled its next in the series of prototype fighters,
the F-3 Wasp. The F-3
Wasp improves upon much of the technology used in the
F-2 Bat. The new
fighter features a smaller, yet more powerful core, a removable engine/core
mount that can be easily be handled in gravity by two persons and in 0
gravity by one, both atmospheric and exospheric flight, and a more
comfortable and integrated cockpit. No details concerning the F-3 Wasp’s
payload were disclosed. In an attempt to discover the location the
corporation’s facilities, analysts and competitors alike have pored over the
press release to identify the alien tech that is obviously integrated into
the new fighter. Nothing has been concluded.
Along with the press release for the F-3 Wasp came an uncharacteristic and
militant threat of offense from the corporation to the Eastern Block if any
more “brazen attempts at stealing our developed technology occurred.” This
threat is cause for concern because of the corporation’s secrecy, seemingly
unlimited resource, and now apparent ties with a potentially dangerous alien
race.

Excellent stuff Phil....very retro both in design and colour. Most amazingly is
the amount of SNOT construction...side, backwards, down....almost expect the fig
to be standing on his head.
Now if only landed on a rack, then that would be something.
