Description
Been a long time since I did a Space 2099 image, so here we go!Yet another routine mission for Space Station Alpha's Eagle pilots. After deploying a science module to do field research on a high-bromine ocean planet, Eagle One left the area to take readings of some unusual magnetic anomalies elsewhere on the planet. Suddenly, a distress signal was received from the science module. As Eagle One races back for pick-up, the scientists attempt to fend off a variety of dangers - including one VERY hungry reptilian. With a storm moving in, the sea monster trying to decide which visitor to eat first, and time running out before Space Station Alpha jumps again, Eagle One begins its recovery pass...
Created in Daz Studio with iRay, this render features the amazingly detailed Eagle One model by Eric Den Biesen (www.deviantart.com/greywolf-st⦠). Postwork in Photoshop.

I love this on so many levels. Space: 1999's only real "monster" was in "Dragon's Domain", so it's a shame we never got to see them visit a planet with indigenous monsters. ("All That Glisters" came close, though.)
It's also about time someone showed an Eagle visiting the high seas. We only ever saw them touching down on land. Great thinking with the pontoons.
One thing occurred to me: despite the obvious presence of rocket-like technology, the Eagles appeared to be mostly anti-gravity ships. I couldn't help but to wonder if the midship mission modules retained their own limited independent flight capability. Could one launch itself into orbit, or at least make brief flights at treetop level, without the rest of the Eagle? It never occurred to me back in the day, but when you think about it, Alpha was capable of flying the Eagle remotely like a drone and the midships mission module was capable on independent operation and life support. So, why not?
