Scooter's Randomness - Star Trek: Amphitrite - The Naked Moment (s1e2)

This will eventually be crossposted (probably after the GB vote) to the Scooter's Randomness - Star Trek: Amphitrite thread

In progress screenshots.  First without snow, the second with.  No hi-rez until it's done.




I'm probably going to change the set before I run the final render.  I'm not thrilled with this one.

Working on backstory renders and the backstory itself.  I've got a new set I'm planning on using, but I want to get the background ready so that I knowhow to get from my start to my end.

Got me wondering how this is going to turn out

As for the IDIC with the Science insignia, as mention in Post 32 of Scooter's Randomness: Sta Trek: Amphitrite, V'laera had family aboard the ill-fated USS Intrepid.  I figure there were another couple or three family members lost aboard the Intrepid that day.

An intergalactic Sno-Cat?

I like the fact that the Andorians are not wearing anything more than their normal uniforms

Hi Rez here
The Amphitrite's transporter room dissolved into the golden shimmer of the transporter effect and was replaced by the howling winds and blowing snow of KL1-011's near permanent global blizzards, as the away team materialized on the science station's shuttle platform.  The three assigned shuttles were frosted and snowed over; the away team's Sno-cat had materialized in front of the platform, its engine idling and marker lights already running.  "You know, parts of Andoria make this place look like Honolulu," Ensign Th'evannek noted.

"Let's cut the chatter.  We've got 16 kilometers to go, its dark, and if the condition of the shuttles are any indication the trail between here and the outpost may not be maintained," Captain V'aerla remarked.  "Lt. Sh'vhaohrit, there'll be plenty of time for data collection when we get to the station."


Hi Rez here
Just over an hour later, the Sno-cat trundled to a halt just outside of the perimeter of the outpost.  As the away team climbed out of the snow tractor, Lt. Sh'vhaohrit pulled her tricorder back out and resumed scanning.  "That's not right," the Aenar science officer muttered to herself, even as she adjusted the scanner. 

Walking to the snow pile that was in front of their ground vehicle she knelt, running the tricorder over the pile.  "Doctor," she called, "can you come here for a moment?"

As Sh'vhaohrit and Dr. T'la started talking in hushed tones, V'aerla looked at her first officer.  "This is unusual.  Even if they weren't expecting us, there should have been someone to great us."

Sato nodded.  "A station devoted to material sciences and radio astronomy, at the very least, should have rolled out the welcome mat."

Sweet Scooter mate .. I enlarged the hell out of it ..nice and sharp 👌 😎
Can't wait for the entire thing

Thanks Dukwy.  My default resolution setting when I render is 4k UHD, but I knock them down to 2k (width=1920) when I post them here, since not everyone has a 4k monitor handy.  I'll probably add the hi rez links to their repository of dA later.

Oh I'm pretty sure very few folks here have 4K resolution screens mate 😆
I sure don't..so 2K makes more sence and even then 2K does give ya a pretty high res pic to view 😉
I like that ..fact I love a bloody good high quality digital sci-fi pic

Hi Rez here

"Captain," T'la called, "can you and the Commander come over here."

"What have we got?"

"Human male, in his late 50's.  Cause of death, hypothermia with postmortem tissue freezing.  Preliminary scans, based on DNA records, indicate it's Captain Asquith.  The station commander."

V'aerla arched an eyebrow.  "Captain Asquith wasn't known for his...inhibitions.  I studied xeno-astronomy with him at the Academy.  Could foul play or mutiny be involved?"

"It's not necessarily that, Captain."  Lt. Sh'vhaohrit looked up from her tricorder.  "I'm also detecting polywater."

"And the resultant polywater intoxication," V'aerla noted.  She tapped her commbadge.  "Away team to Amphitrite."

"Go ahead, Captain."

"Mr. Long, scan the outpost on KL1-011 for lifesigns."

"Are you sure, Captain?  Starfleet has it listed as being a subspace and EMF noise free zone."

"On my authority, Commander.  If I'm wrong, then I'll take the blame at the inquiry."

"Aye Captain.  We're scanning...the only lifesigns we're detecting is the away team."

V'aerla sighed.  "Very well then.  Mr. Long, remote access the stations computers and download their databanks."

"Captain," Lt. Sh'vhaohrit said, "we've been breathing in the snow since we beamed in.  We're just as afflicted."

"Mr. Long, stand by to beam us up."

"Will you be returning to the beam in site?"

"From our current coordinates, Commander.  We'll also need quarantine precautions."

"Understood Captain.  Is there anything else we need to do?"

"Stand by photon torpedoes, and fire once we're aboard."

"Captain?"

"Did I not make myself clear, Commander?"

"No sir.  Understood sir.  Torpedoes locked and standing by."

"Energize."
