He is not here, no one is!

The battlefield between Nil and Optima is a dangerous place

The ultimate camouflage.

And some meta commentary.

Booyah!

The world is stupid: throw rocks at it!

 

Such is life.

Knife in the Optiman eye!

Ouch!

OBLITERATOR BATTLEBALLOON  

An aerial battleship capable of carrying a 900 ton payload of high explosives, this behemoth is greatly feared by Optiman High Command. Heavily armoured and equipped with 16 high calibre cannons ranging from 300mm to 90mm, it can deal out formidable damage to any foe. The ship is ringed by balconies that can be manned by riflemen to fend off aerial attack. These balconies are also good for barbeques.  Virtually indestructable, the Battle Balloon has only one weak point: the three lift balloons, which are vulnerable to rifle fire and bird attack.  Five of these gargantuan vehicles are currently for sale. Minor damage to undercarriages. Heavily patched balloons. Leather upholstery. No credit cards. Perfect for avoiding traffic and blasting neighbours using leaf blowers.

Kill Optimans!

By the bauble factory

I always liked this scene in Nil, with all the identical workers leaving the factory in lock step. 

Enforced conformity through standardization and systemization. 

Eventually, you don't even notice it is happening.
