Pete has been building again and our kitchen table is covered with (some would say "cluttered with') space vehicles, There is the big one "Hookup Mindbreaker"-so called because a smaller ship ("Dart") hooks up to it to bring supplies (Mindbreaker has a siren it sounds for supplies...Petey, as siren, is earsplitting) and it has a secret weapon, a "mind breaker".
"Blue Midnight" is the super hero's ship. He singlehandedly, with his smokescreen that defies radar, wards of raids by the enemy in the "Devil Ship". "Blue Midnight" is actually red and blue, with clear loc blocs for windows.
There is "Siren Ship" because it has a round, red and white "siren", and there are two manned spaceships, "Geronimo" (which holds two <lego> men, and "Atlas" (which holds one). Except for the "Devil Ship" which comes from a nameless planet, these belong to the planet Ergol.
Not the least of my preoccupations today was thinking up appropriae names for the constantly increasing array of vehicles...but the Earth to Ergol transport is simply called "shuttle".
