Science Station: Spacefish (HVA)

[Atavism]

Captain Hax was livid.
"You said this was a whale!"
The small, soft alien twitched its antennae dismissively.
-My people do not distinguish between these two things-
"Bullcrap! You sent me a picture of a whale!"
-My assistant must have been confused-
"Double bullcrap! You just told me we were on a whale!"
-Let me refocus our conversation: I already have your bartered goods, and you have already came here with your equipment and personnel. Does it really matter?-
"Yes, it matters!"
-Why?-
"Why? Why? Well... why... well... I mean... ?"
-Indeed. I have been unkind. Please, let us drink together and I will teach you to cook the parasites that burrow on its fin.-
"Ugh."
-Yes-




There was a convo on the facebook about the Ijad using galactic megafauna (read: space whales) as ships. I feel like space whales are *so* last year.
I present to you: GIANT SPACE CATFISH!

You have to fold in the caudal fin to make it regulation length, but I'm pretty happy with how it turned out.

I love it.

That telescope is adorable!

I'm still team space whale, thou

Hah, that's great. Now you can emphatically yell "save the whales!" in your game. Except you can't. You have to yell "save the spacefish!"

Are the red bits on the back supposed to be a separate shuttle or something? I don't see how they would be connected. I also never realized there were two molds for the 1×3 inverted slopes.

This is really a fun build! Very creative, but I just keep seeing a whiskered space Orca (cetaceans are mammals with hair right? Why not a moustache? ). I think it's due to the color scheme, and that Terran fish have vertically oriented tails, although I'm not sure about spacefish.
