It's time for crab
This is a present I did for @clodcast in a Secret Santa we participated! He asked in a worksheet to draw any of his Salom Run’s OC’s. You can see some of them here.
Since I haven’t played Splatoon 2 yet, I looked forward some concepts he did on his tumblr and I mixed up one character with the main weapon of another.
It was really fun to draw! With you all Happy Holidays and a great 2018!!
It was also @clodcast birthday which I was unaware I missed and OMG I”M SO SORRY YOU SUNNOVA CRAB CAKE! I drew his OCs Orion and Carol, who is one of those inkling couples that as soon as I saw them I had to ship. ITS SO DAMN CUTE WTH. Hap Late Birf Clod!!!!
Prologue 1.3: Revelations of Takoyarkov
Aie, life waits for no one huh? I’m still working on putting all my ideas on paper... err rather typed up in this sense. But I digress, here’s part 3 of the Takoyarkov prologue!
Quick mention to @clodcast‘s oc Commander Sturgeon, leader of the Salmonids.
“...this is Siemo here, reporting from the ruins of Takoyarkov. I repeat, this is Siemo.”
“We read you loud and clear Siemo. What’s the current situation?”
“...e’ve found the objective but there are several groups of Octarian and Salmonid forces here.”
“What? But... that shouldn’t be possible. International laws forbid any interactions with the Salmonid people.”
“Well it looks like the Octarian leader Krillovsk thinks otherwise.”
“What? He’s there as well?”
“Yessir. It looks as though he’s forme... some kind of alliance with a Salmonid leader. We... n’t know who it is but we might be able to-”
“No. ...this changes things. Listen to me carefully. Do not engage Krillovsk or this Salmonid leader. See if you can get evidence of this and report back immediately. Is that understood?”
“Sorry GBR HQ, but...e and Torke have other plans to deal with him and his ally.”
“What do you mean?”
“...”
“Siemo answer me! What do you mean?”
“...”
“Siemo! What do you think you’re-”
==========
(Back in Inkopolis Military Base...)
”Sir... it seems that Siemo cut the transmission from her end.” An operator manning a radio system turned to face an inkling standing behind him. The inkling took a deep breath and closed his eyes.”
“I’m not surprised. She’s picked up my improvised planning I see.” The inkling then opened his eyes and headed towards a set of exit doors. “See if you can’t bring up communications with them again.”
“B-but what about you, Commander Blitz?”
The brigadier leader turned to the operator and showed a faint grin forming at the corner of his lip. “What do you think? I’m going to get her out of there.”
==========
(Takoyarkov, 5 minutes after end of tansmission...)
The pair of commandos snuck to the other side of the perimeter of the excavation site, their view now cleared from the rubble they hid behind moments ago.
“Okay, what’s the plan Siemo?” Torke huffed as he took out his weapon, cocking the firing mechanism ready.
Siemo looked over the area once more and took note of everything she could. She saw that several crates filled with explosives like dynamite and barrels filled with a black, syrupy fluid were piled and scattered here and there. She also noted that several tents were arranged in such a way that an individual can sneak by passing patrols. Finally she saw that the now gaping hole had a slight slope that might be enough to allow something to be rolled down.
“Okay, I’m going to need you to cause a diversion near the opposite end of the perimeter. Make sure it’s big enough so that they think a large force is attacking them.”
Torke looked over and saw that the opposite end of the area had several piles of debris. “Got it.”
“Once you begin the diversion, I’ll try and sneak my way past the alerted patrols and gather as many explosives and barrels as possible before moving them next to that pit.” She pointed to the various crates and barrels. “After that I’ll prime those explosives and roll as many barrels as I can into the pit and hopefully get those sealed doors open. Got it?”
Torke nodded and removed his pack, opening it to reveal several small bags with wires and timers attached to them. “Alright. I’ll buy you as much time as I can. But don’t do anything crazy.”
Siemo nodded back to him and started making her way closer to the base of the perimeter. Torke made his way towards his location, taking out two of the devices and laying them down by piles of loose debris piles and structures that were on the verge of collapsing. He continued setting more and more along the ridge until he had one left. Okay, now to wait for her signal.
At the same time the octoling was sneaking her way into the camp, making sure she kept out of sight from passing patrols of octarian and salmonid troops. Easy now... don’t want to alert them yet. Once she saw that a majority of the patrols were out of sight she began moving fuel barrels towards the pit. One by one, she piled barrel after barrel, weapon crate after crate until the exposed doors were covered with them. Okay, now to give Torke the signal. Siemo retreated back up the ridge, still undetected, and radioed her comrade. “Do it Torke!”
“With pleasure.” The inkling commando whipped out a detonator and flipped a switch.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
Several explosions erupted along the opposite end of the perimeter, sending piles of rock and housing tumbling down towards the nearest tents. Octarians and Salmonids alike swarmed out and ran as fast as they could away from the landslide.
===============
“What was that!” Krillovsk demanded, the entire camp rocking from the sudden explosions.
“Sir! There appears to be an attack coming from the eastern side of the base!” An octarian stammered as he held open the tent flaps. The two leaders raced outside to find that a haze of dust had formed over where the explosions occurred.
“Get our troops over there and stop whoever is attacking us!” Sturgeon barked. Groups of chums and octolings nodded in compliance and headed for the cloud. “It seems out enemies are catching on to our activities here. We must accelerate our plans.”
The Octarian leader immediately set out towards the pit, only to see a certain octoling standing before them.
“You!” Krillovsk pointed towards the opposing octoling. “I should have had you killed when I had the chance all those years ago!”
Siemo just grinned as she held a detonator of her own. “Oh well, too bad for you.” She grinned as she flipped a switch.
BOOOOOM!!
A massive tremor rocked the area as the pit lit up in a fiery ball of destruction, sending burning barrels and metal pieces flying towards them.
“Move it!” The Salmonid leader screamed as he and his allies fled to the nearest piece of cover.
“Now Torke! Let’s go!” Siemo turned towards the rapidly dying fireball and saw that the metal doors had been shredded open from the second explosion. She glanced back and saw the inkling had super jumped to her and was following close behind. Nodding she turns to the exposed opening and takes a leap of faith, with her comrade following suit.
Meanwhile as the two leaders recovered from the shock they saw that Siemo had disappeared.
“Damnit! We cannot let her get to that vault!” Krillovsk hissed with rage. “After her!”
Several troopers made their way to the pit and stormed in after them, with Octorus Krillovsk and Commander Sturgeon taking the lead.
(Inside the vault...)
”Keep moving Torke! They’re not far behind us!” Siemo gasped for breath as the pair ran down several winding hallways and corridors, the walls lit by flickering lights with most already shattered. Soon enough the two made it to what they could only assume to be a large open hanger. But what they saw, they were not prepared for. All around them were tens of hundreds of what they could only guess was military grade weaponry and equipment. Field guns, mortars, artillery pieces, and weapon racks lined up about a quarter of the space, while the remaining space was occupied by vehicles of wheeled and tracked types as well as aircraft such as helicopters and jet planes.
“What... is this place?” Siemo muttered as she gazed in awe.
“This... is the rumored Bunker of Takoyarkov. A human made warehouse to store all their machines of war.” Torke responded, walking up to the closest weapon rack and picking up what he presumed was a rifle of some kind. “Commander Blitz said that he saw ones like these 2 years ago...” He inspected the weapon closely, taking note of how it was made from stamped metal parts and other alloys. “And it looks like these function just like how he describes them.”
Siemo looked over to him and glanced at it. She couldn’t help but remember what happened to her back then, when she was shot at and hospitalized. “Yeah, it looks like they do.”
The inkling put it aside and resumed looking through all the weapons arranged around them. “What do you think all these were intended for?” he asked Siemo as he stopped in front of a large tracked vehicle.
Siemo pondered the question to herself, curious as to the reason behind why all these weapons of war were stored away. But her thoughts were interrupted when she heard shouting coming from the entrance they came in from.
“Hurry! They must have went this way!”
“Uh oh.” The octoling patted Torke’s shoulder and motioned for him to find a hiding spot. Soon they found a half-track truck located in the far back of the warehouse and hid in the rear compartment. “Let’s just lay low here until they go away-”
“I doubt that’s gonna happen Siemo. We practically gave them the keys to Pandora’s Box! Look!” Torke waved for her to look outside. As the two peeked out from their hiding spot they saw a company’s worth of octarians and chums making their way through the line of vehicles. They hid back and leaned against the side of the truck bed. “If we don’t do something to stop these guys, who knows what they can do with everything in this depot.”
Siemo stared at her feet, unsure herself on what to do. She tried to formulate some kind of plan but her mind couldn’t focus. “...what can we do?”
Torke looked around and saw that another weapon rack was next to the truck. “We could use some of those.”
Siemo gave him an almost horrified look. “W-what? Use these human weapons? We don’t even know if they still work!”
“Only one way to find out, right?” Torke gave the octoling a hard look, his eyes waiting for her reply.
“...okay.”
The two snuck out and crept towards the rack in their squid and octopus forms, not risking the possibility of making loud footsteps. As soon as they were in arm’s reach of the human-made weapons they began to figure out how to load them.
“How does this thing work?” Siemo grumbled as she tried to fit a thin rectangular box into a hole at the bottom of one of the weapons.
“I... don’t know,” Torke hissed in frustration. “All Blitz said about these things is that you put those boxes into the open slot at the bottom, but...”
CLICK!
Siemo held out her weapon in front of herself to see that the box finally locked into place. “Oh, that’s how it works.” She then noticed a small piece of metal protruding from the side and had the strangest urge to yank it back. But as she pulled back the metal bit she didn’t realize how much noise it made until-
CHK-CHK!
”Hey, what was that?”
“It sounded like it came from back there!”
“Shit, not good.” Torke copied the octoling’s actions and loaded his own weapon, pulling back on his weapon’s metal bit and hearing the same clicking. “Alright, you ready?”
Siemo looked to her comrade and nodded, gripping the weapon firmly.
“Then let’s do this.”
Here we have our first wave of finished commissions!

Thank you very much for supporting me \ouo/
Which of your squids, counting also side characters, will mostly try to work for Grizzco, even if just for money?
Aaah, I still haven’t tried salmon run so a bit hard to say but I could see whole team Splat Jam doing them. And Toxink, just for the action.
@oranguin @killer-pail @clodcast
The best part of waking up around noon, is screaming with friends in Salmon Run. With a flirty squid at the end.
Would you be so kind to send Salmon Run refs as soon as possible please? i'd appreaciate it a lot. :)
I’ve got some pictures from the mode as well as the victory/defeat screens. I’ll be going through my screenshots this week to put something together.
If any one knows a way to get the gear outside the mode, please let me know.
