Why did the Iron Builder cross the road?

No idea, but he should have listened to his wife and stayed inside ... building an epic MOC.

In the beginning, Nannan God created the lounge. No builder or MOC had yet been posted, for Nannan God had not sent bricks upon the earth, and there was no one to use the bricks. Ideas would well up from the earth and inspire the future builders.
Nannan God formed man from the soil of the ground.
And breathed into his nostrils the breath of creativity.
And man became a MOCer.
And Nannan God called him Sean.
Nannan God planted a garden in the Lounge, and there he put the man he had formed.
Nannan God caused to sprout every brick that is pleasing to look at and good to build with and the tree of inspiration and creativity in the middle of the Lounge.
Nannan God took the man, and put him in the Builders Lounge to look after the bricks and use them.
Nannan God commanded the man, saying, 'You may get inspired by every brick in the Lounge, but no bricks the tree of inspiration and creativity, you may use. For the day that you use those you will surely lose.'
Nannan God said, 'It is not good that the builder should be alone. I shall make him a helper.'
Nannan God caused a deep sleep to fall on the man.
And as he slept, Nannan God took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh in its place.
And from the rib which Nannan God had taken from the man he made a woman, and brought her to the man.
The man said, 'This at last is bone from my bones, and flesh from my flesh! She will be call Steph.'
And the man and his wife were both crazy cool builders and very awesome.
Now the snake Guy was the shewdest of any builder of the Lounge which Nannan God had made. He said to the woman, 'Has God really said, "You shall not use any brick from the Lounge?"'
The woman said to the snake, 'We may use every brick in the Lounge, but from the tree of inspiration and creativity we may not or we shall surely lose.'
The snake said to the woman, 'Surely you will not lose! For God knows that the day you use bricks from the tree, your eyes will be opened and you will be like gods, knowing everything about the bricks.'
The woman saw that the tree had perfect bricks, in wonderful colors and desirable to win, she took from it.
And used it ... to build a giant sushi.
She gave some to her husband who was with her.
And he tried to use it ... but couldn't fit the pieces together.
The eyes of both them were opened, and they knew that they were indeed fantastic builders.
They created MOCs and entered every contest and won.
They heard the voice of Nannan God walking in the Lounge and the man and his wife hid themselves from Nannan God among the bricks of the Lounge.
Nannan God called to the man, and said to him, 'Where are you?'
The man said, 'I heard your voice in the garden, and I was afraid because I am super awesome, so I hid myself.'
God said, 'Who told you that you were amazing? Have you used the bricks from the tree that I commanded you not to use?'
The man said, 'The woman you gave me, she gave me the bricks of the tree, and I tried to make them fit together.'
Nannan God said to the woman, 'What have you done?'
The woman said, 'The snake convinced me, and I built.'
Nannan God said to the snake, 'Because you have done this, you are cursed above all builders. You shall master the art of steampunk and create stovepipe hats and crazy arms and host the Iron Builder competition. You will not be able to spell the name of other builders correctly. You will beg for creations every year so that your closet gets filled.'
To the woman he said, 'I will greatly increase your building capacity. You will be able to bring forth MOC upon MOC. Your desire will be for your husband, and he will rule over you.'
To the man he said, 'You have listened to your wife, using the bricks from the tree about which I commanded you, "Do not use them." Therefore, cursed is your creativity. You shall only bring forth black and dark builds with fire and lava ... and boobs.
Nannan God gave them brick separators and brick storage.
Nannan God said, 'The man has become like one of us, knowing how to build epic MOCs. He must be prevented from using all the bricks in the Lounge, otherwise we would have none to build with!' Therefore Nannan God sent him away from the Lounge, to till the ground from which he was taken.
He drove man away and stationed four Iron Builders at the gates of the Lounge and a flaming brick which turned every way, to guard the tree of inspiration and creativity.

Not many ventured into the gloom marshes and those that did, were never seen nor heard from again. Folk would tell of strange shapes slithering through the mist and of the howling noises they heard during the night. Some would say the sounds came from the horrifying creatures that roamed the land. Others claimed it were the trapped souls lamenting out in despair.

It is unknown who commissioned its build, the only thing known is that even before the construction was completed the portal started to emit a hypnotizing light. The construction crew were the first to perish. Every attempt to shut it down failed and only resulted in more deaths. Soon after the whole sector was deemed hazardous and off limits. Now only bodies remain ... and the light ... always the light ...

Blockade Runner

The flagship of the Tsauri space tribe served as a blockade runner during the intergalactic war. Heavily armed with a wide range of pulse cannons, lasers and plasma blasters, it was able to take out most threats, even from a distance. Anything left standing was wiped out by the myriad of fighters contained in its hull. For most of their opponents the eerie blue light was the last thing they would see, the few survivors would tell horror stories about it ...

Zoid's parents were confident that sending their son to the prestigious Intergalactic Elementary School would benefit his education and improve the interaction with his classmates. However, after the unfortunate incident with little Timmy and the phaser, the I.E.S had to revise their Student Code of Conduct regarding toys brought from home. Zoid was expelled and had to take his further education at the infamous Institute for Juvenile Misfits.
