Any comments are appreciated.
And now, for the story. . .
After losing a large market-share, the enigmatic cerebruminc once again closed
it’s doors to the public. Recently the company made a seeming “Louisiana
Purchase” of a small moon. The bright-white moon is a sattelite of an unnamed,
uninhabitable planet. So far, only ci’s mining operations have been found on the
moon.
Along with the purchase came the availability of crater crawler created by ci:
The Black Rhino, the first creation made available to non-military buyers.
It features: two powerful pull-back-tek™ motors, a nuclear core similar to the
SS-A Paladin’s, two charging stations for 2 airtanks each, and a complete
camera/HUD driven display for the driver. Because of the shimmering surface of
the white rock, the Black Rhino pictured here features red-spectrum spotlights
to avoid blinding reflection.
