RRBBO5 Review

Once again we are struck with awe by the caliber of works submitted by the most talented and creative community of builders in recent memory*.
Casting our votes for which rat was the best, we were faced with well over sixty entries to choose from. Since they were all outstanding, we first thought that a sixty-six way tie for first place would be the only way to ensure that everyone received their due credit. This seemed to be the safest proposal but, where is the fun in that! We then ruthlessly and without mercy hacked the number down to a Bakers Dozen. Still too wussy you say. Ok, Top Five then!

*Our memory sucks.

DRINKING

Pilots were always prepared to do whatever, within reason, was necessary to keep the motors happy. One particularly popular incentive was a variety of fuel additives which the motors always appreciated. Vendors, eager to capitalize on this situation, prepared large quantities of such mixtures and would make them available in containers which were designed to appeal to the purchasing agents from the ships.

SLIP SLIDE

 

TRIJAAKs' creator,  JADE,  knew that he would never match BODEs' engineering understanding and skills. JADE was much more interested and enthralled with the way that things looked rather than how  

they worked. BODEs tools

EVERLAASTEON

Just because I apparently have too much time on my hands. More about this later. . .

COMING IN OCTOBER

TAG DECODED AS WORK BEGINS

Once the boys back at the lab were able to reconstruct the
specimen sent from the site, the historians at the institute
were able to identify most, if not all, of the components that
had gone into the construction of the ship.
Fortune was such that many of these pieces had be found
earlier at a number of other digs but had been unassigned
because there had not been available any clues as to the
exact nature of their sources.
Technicians are now able to begin to reconstruct the ship
using the rather simple codes revealed by the 02048 tag to
not only determine the components’ structures but also the
manner in which they had been assembled and their likely
locations on the ship.
The work was slow and tedious at times but we are most
encouraged as we now have a clear direction.
