Chapter Eight: The First Boss


G4M3 is pronounced "game." It is a virtual reality simulation that exists in Utopia, the "perfect" city of the future. In G4M3, the citizens of Utopia can experience the opposite of their current lives. Instead of being in a world of peace and perfect law and order, they will end up in a world of constant war, destruction, and chaos.


My second vignette for G4M3: Shattered Reality. This one is from Chapter 8: The First Boss. What you see here is a slice right out of an underground USOW base.


The base is currently under attack by the Eagles, a group bent on fighting the USOW, who they blame for starting the war that destroyed the world of G4M3. Kyle has the opportunity to join either group, but he ends up siding with the Eagles.


You're not supposed to see this side. Avert thine eyes.


Kyle Roswell eventually progresses far enough in G4M3 to meet the man that Frank Billings calls "The First Boss," Dr. Matthew Noble. This is Dr. Noble and his subordinate, Sergei Ivanovich.


This is Scott, a commander of the Eagles. Having just dispatched a USOW guard, he ducks behind cover to narrowly avoid a spray of bullets. The yellow cones are supposed to be the bullets hitting the wall behind him. I'm going for action-packed here...


Most of the Eagles permenantly mark their arms with the emblem of their group to show their dedication to the cause (they get an eagle tattoo). The USOW guard's shock stick was inspired by a weapon in a certain video game.
"Pick up the can."
"Now, put it in the trash can."


The Eagles aren't going to leave the base in one piece! Here an Eagles bomb expert sets up some heavy explosive charges in the room, prepared to blow the top off this underground bunker. I should have given him a decal that said: "I am a bomb technician. If you see me running, try to catch up."


And here's Joe Vig! He was digging for something in the deserts of G4M3 (probably water... heh), but for some reason he seems to have struck metal. He appears to be a bit confused...


For those of you unfamiliar with the LEGO vignette tradition, Joe Vig is a character often featured in LEGO vignettes. He is always found in a situation of mortal danger of which he is completely unaware. In this case, I think you can figure out what Joe Vig's predicament is.


The random Eagle guy and Scott. Eh, don't ask about the Dobby torso. I had already put a yellow arm on it for some reason so I just went ahead and used it. Apparently the guy couldn't get his hands on any decent armor.


Dr. Noble and Sergei flanked by their USOW guards. The "patient" on the stretcher is actually a prisoner. I think you can figure out who.


Here's a pic so you can see some of the interior details without the figs in the way. Though it's not a vig without the figs. Figs put the "ig" in vignette.
