Calamity

Hello people. Welcome to the next short story in the Atoll Lab series. I Plan to alternate between this short vignette and that of Prince tomcat of Grumman. I enjoyed a long 2 month break of playing games, and going to shows with the love of my life. I suppose I could have just quit, but Id rather continue Atoll Lab with a few more short stories that hopefully wont take 3 years to finish.  The Poll is not favorable to this comic, Either because I am not as great a story teller as I thought I was, or that visitors just come here for porn that updates less and less as time goes on. If you are one of the latter, I am sorry. Porn Is coming, but this year I have events staggered across multiple weekends that will certainly cut into my art time.  If you are still here, thank you for continuing to enjoy what I do.

I will move the Prince tomcat collection to this post soon. However, I was never really satisfied with the bath scene. I may end up throwing out the previous 3 pages in favor of something that doesn’t ramp up so quickly on perversion (at least until Tomcat shows up.) The Russian translation of Atoll Lab is still pending, I’ll keep you posted.

Characters

ATOLL MACHINES

A small collection of 12 retrofitted military surplus vehicles used as a “control” for the success machine island experiment. They were the last terrestrial vehicles in direct contact with the black triangle before it disappeared. All posses the rare ability to neutralize success machine kinetic shields.   The 12: Merkava mk3, M8 Buford/Xm8, A-10C, F-117, Harrier GR-7, Leopard 2A4 evolution, PL01, 9k22 Tunguska, CV90120T, KA-50, Mi-28 havoc, Yatagarasu carrier defense space fighter “No-Name”.

DEMPSEY OF CHINO (F-86 Sabre)

An antiquated Korean war jet fighter born in the southern Republic of California sometime in 2110. This Dire machine travels with his partner Juan Boh as a detective for the Ignaz mega corporation. Together they search for the whereabouts of the Black triangle artifact.

HALF-MACHINES

Humans who undergo cybernetic augmentation through PMCs, Megacorp securities, Military spec Ops, or Criminal syndicates, who can afford the prohibitive cost of bleeding edge cyber armor tech eventually become infected with the space machine code. Such entities are not considered humans in the eyes of the machine kind.

Early 2014 concept. Note that augmentation is both internal and external.

JUAN BOH

A Human turned Half-machine, born post calamity. Joins the Ignaz mega corporation and travels along side Dempsey of Chino. Together they search for the whereabouts of the Black triangle artifact.

LEMARCHAND NEON

A Gen-U-mine success machine born from the hull of an antiquated 19th century space station. Currently orbits earth under cloak and shield. In 2079 Lemarchand aids the Atoll lab machine experiments, ensuring that future peoples have a means to stop other success machines from destroying the world.

 

ISQ-26 NEFANTAR

A massive deep space strip-mining drone ship deployed by the Gen-U-mine mega corporation. The very first Dire machine born 2049 A.D. She is referred to by a select few as “The oracle”.

Nefantar Mock-up by Evalion.

NEODYMIUM TRI

A Gen-U-mine success machine born from a BB-66 Iowa class battleship. Killed by the Atoll lab machines in the summer of 2079. Originally sent to Ala Isla Atoll to destroy all evidence of Gen-U-mine involvement.

YATAGARASU RS-09 “NO-NAME”

A retrofit space combat drone re purposed as a control specimen on Ala Isla Atoll. He came to life in 2078-2079 as a part of the great Gen-U-mine success machine experiment. He quickly rose in power and eventually defeated the murderous battleship Neodym with the help of his fellow experimental unit.

Early 2014 concept.

WULFRAM (TUNGSTEN)

A Gen-U-mine success machine experiment. It is unclear what Wulfram was in pre-life but wears a very generic “jet plane” persona among the people of earth. He enters into rehabilitation in 2120 and lives in Flotilla.

Early concept of Wulfram.

comic goes full circle to the little girl at the very beginning of the comic.

I hope you guys have enjoyed this project. I started this comic in April of 2015 during the beginning of my 2nd year of medical school. It has taken a ridiculously long time, one page a weekend in between requests and other things I owed. I started a patreon to showcase these comic arts and It got me through a particularly stressful 3 trimesters. Originally meant to be a mechaphillia porn comic, I advanced the story, and realized pretty quick that I had grown beyond this basic idea. I fell in love with the world I had made up. And so I resolved to just finish my thoughts here, independent of whether or not anyone would take interest. some of you did, and I am very happy.

If any one of you have any questions about the process, the hardships, pitfalls, ect. or just want to know more about the lore of Atoll Lab give me a PM. I’d love to hear from you.

What happens now: I have to go back and edit out some of the adult content panels, make fixes ect. And then after a break id like to advance the Prince Tomcat side story a little bit while I plan and preppare for the next iteration of Atoll Lab, as well as some 3D blender work im interested in learning.

Special thanks to Cerebralerror, Gunnerrott, for turning the shitty dry ass k-rations I call dialogue into something manageable. Good editors/proofreaders are valuable and should be squirreled away when you find them.
shout out to the love of my life Aeroingo, who took time out of his music career to talk me down, and prop me up when I felt like shit some days.

 

Please leave me any questions or comments down at the bottom!
