Stable 9 Session 6

(10:28:29 PM) GreenBank: When we last left our group of perpetually unsatisfied ponies, Zenith was assisting the sisters with administering the counteragent to the changeling poison.  Cold, Spark, Star, and their new companion had just made a narrow escape from the hissing jaws of the changelings back to the medical wing.

(10:30:52 PM) ***Cold_Fusion had taken time to relax in the lab they'd made the counteragent. She was immensely relieved that she'd managed to keep from losing any of the security ponies to the changelings...
(10:31:19 PM) ***Zenith had also taken a bit of the break and was currently back with Cold_Fusion
(10:34:39 PM) ***Spark_Plug is guarding the front doors, her gun out and wrapped in her magical aurora.
(10:38:04 PM) GreenBank: Zenith probably noticed a group of un-infected ponies sheltering in one of the examination rooms, including the sizable assistant-manager of one of the private resteraunts.
(10:38:35 PM) GreenBank: Spark Plug can hear the occasional clatter of hooves in the hall outside
(10:39:26 PM) ***Zenith stretched out in her chair and groans "I'd better...um...get back to work, Cold..."
(10:40:08 PM) ***Checklist is a titanic seafoam green mare with an off-white mane. She's wearing her Stable vest and looking about with a slightly worried expression on her face.
(10:40:32 PM) Cold_Fusion: "Yeah...and I should probably see how I can help."
(10:40:42 PM) ***Cold_Fusion gets up slowly and heads for the door.
(10:41:04 PM) ***Zenith nuzzles Cold and climbs down from the chair. First order of business, the ponies who'd taken refuge in the observation room
(10:42:01 PM) ***Zenith trots to the observation room she'd spotted the ponies in "U-um...h-hello? Is anypony here um...hurt?"
(10:42:47 PM) GreenBank: Rainbow Petals is checking on the scattered patients in the recovery ward.  Her sister has vanished somewhere.  Two Tone, the pegasus intern, and Dr. Doll have disappeared from the maternity OR.
(10:43:21 PM) ***Spark_Plug has an itchy trigger and is very tempted to peak out and shoot whatevers running around out there...
(10:43:38 PM) ***Cold_Fusion sets about seeing if there is anything she can help with...preferably giving her magic more time to recover
(10:44:34 PM) ***Zenith shies away a little when she spots Checklist. Mare was massive. Massively scary.
(10:45:18 PM) GreenBank: It sounds like they're moving past to Spark, nothing stopping to check the locked door.
(10:45:48 PM) ***Checklist watches the ponies with a purpose bustle about.
(10:45:56 PM) ***Checklist She looks quite worried and confused.
(10:45:57 PM) GreenBank: A filly raises her hoof, "Um, my head hurts m-ma'am.... what
(10:46:00 PM) GreenBank: 's going on?"
(10:46:57 PM) ***Spark_Plug bites her lip and peaks out into the hall...
(10:47:19 PM) Checklist: "... yes. I think we're all very confused," Checklist chimes in. She has a voice with a powerful, robust timbre.
(10:48:30 PM) ***Zenith fidgets and shies back a little more as Checklist speaks up. "I-I'm...not entirely certain what's going on, t-to tell you the truth... And we should have something to help your head little one...um...go ask one of the other nurses...As for anypony else that's uninjured, we're sorely understaffed and could um...use all the help we could get..."
(10:52:42 PM) GreenBank: Besides Checklist, there are three other mares, plus the filly with the headache.  She doesn't look very reassured by Zenith... but limps towards the recovery ward, "Yes ma'am."
(10:53:24 PM) GreenBank: The three earth ponies nod.  One of them asks, "How can I help nurse?  I want to do anything I can to help those poor mares."
(10:54:04 PM) GreenBank: *help,
(10:54:18 PM) Zenith: "Um...report to one of the on-duty nurses...I'm sure they can find something for you to do..."
(10:54:19 PM) ***Checklist walks over as well.
(10:54:32 PM) Checklist: "Should I go with them?"
(10:54:50 PM) GreenBank: Spark doesn't see anything other then some scuffs on the cement floor where something with shod hooves went by.
(10:56:01 PM) ***Zenith shies back a little and stares up at Checklist "Um...Maybe...you could report to the security personnel? U-um...n-no offense but...you might be better suited for that..." she squeaks
(10:56:26 PM) Checklist: "Ah."
(10:56:33 PM) GreenBank: Talky mare nods.  One of her two compatriots follow her past Zenith to join Rainbow.  The third winces as a tail brushes her muzzle.
(10:56:58 PM) Checklist: "I'll, um... go do that then," the sizable mare says to Zenith.
(10:57:10 PM) ***Zenith nods and squeaks "O-okay..."
(10:57:53 PM) ***Spark_Plug sighs and closes the door. She rubs her tempals and yells, "can a pony get some coffee?" the bags under her eyes contest to how tired and stressed she is.
(10:58:43 PM) GreenBank: Iris pokes her head from around the corner, "Coffee?  Sure thing Officer, I'll pour you a cup."
(11:00:08 PM) Checklist: "Where are the security officers?" Checklist asks Zenith, curious.
(11:00:59 PM) ***Spark_Plug sighs, "Thanks Iris..." she leans on the wall and closes her eyes for a moment, she was so tired...
(11:01:31 PM) GreenBank: The orderly shouts, "You're welcome!"
(11:01:37 PM) ***Cold_Fusion answers Checklist's question for lack of anything else to do. "We...brought them back earlier...they're resting...the changelings got to them...somewhat."
(11:01:42 PM) GreenBank: Cold_Fusion's pipbuck has started beeping again.
(11:01:56 PM) ***Cold_Fusion checks her pipbuck
(11:02:10 PM) Zenith: "Um..." she looks around making sure nopony could overhear and whispers "Apparently they were affected by whatever's affected the rest of the ponies in the stable and were...well...having sex...um. Miss...Spark Plug is at the door...and the head of security is somewhere around here..."
(11:02:31 PM) Checklist: "... changelings?"
(11:02:38 PM) Cold_Fusion left the room (quit: Quit: http://www.mibbit.com ajax IRC Client).
(11:02:42 PM) ***Zenith nods "Changelings..."
(11:02:45 PM) Checklist: "I'm sorry. I don't know much of what's going on."
(11:03:01 PM) Zenith: "They've apparently...Gotten into the stable..."
(11:03:13 PM) Zenith: "They're the cause of all this, though I really don't know what they're doing..."
(11:03:56 PM) Godna [[email protected]] entered the room.
(11:04:05 PM) Godna is now known as Cold_Fusion
(11:05:21 PM) Checklist: "I'm afraid I don't know what a changeling is, miss."
(11:05:39 PM) ***Zenith tilts her head "They taught us a little about them in school..."
(11:05:52 PM) Zenith: "They apparently attacked Canterlot before the war..."
(11:06:05 PM) Zenith: "They um...have the ability to...look like anypony..."
(11:06:25 PM) Zenith: "The chief of security was apparently their queen..."
(11:06:34 PM) Zenith: "Or their queen was the chief of security..."
(11:06:39 PM) Zenith: "Either way..."
(11:06:45 PM) #stablenine: mode (+v Cold_Fusion) by GreenBank
(11:06:49 PM) ***Cold_Fusion nodded along with Zenith. "They're...Bug like ponies..."
(11:06:56 PM) ***Zenith nodnods...
(11:07:31 PM) Cold_Fusion: "And...they're...also responsible for knocking up several of the ponies here...as well as introducing a powerful aphrodisiac like poison into the water...and the security..."
(11:07:38 PM) GreenBank: Iris reappears with a pot of coffee in her magic
(11:07:45 PM) Checklist: "... and that's what's causing all the confusion?"
(11:07:50 PM) ***Zenith nods
(11:08:03 PM) GreenBank: Iris: "Here you go Officer."
(11:08:12 PM) Cold_Fusion: "more then...confusion..."
(11:08:32 PM) Checklist: "This is... all very difficult to wrap my head around."
(11:08:33 PM) GreenBank: Cold has one (1) missed call
(11:08:44 PM) ***Zenith fidgets and nods "I agree..."
(11:08:45 PM) Cold_Fusion: (I tried to check my pipbuck)
(11:08:48 PM) Cold_Fusion: (and it DC'd me)
(11:09:10 PM) Cold_Fusion: (so if I would have recieved the call I did try else I still check it)
(11:09:11 PM) ***Spark_Plug sips the coffee and Hugs Iris, "thanks."
(11:09:55 PM) GreenBank: (No, you'd have missed it without the DC)
(11:10:05 PM) Zenith: "Just know that um..." she fidgets "Changelings are in the stable, they contaminated the water, They've impregnated several mares already, quite likely more...And they want that to happen to the entire stable...I think..."
(11:10:13 PM) GreenBank: Iris yawns, "Anything else you need?"
(11:10:35 PM) ***Cold_Fusion sees who it was and sees if they left a message.
(11:10:38 PM) ***Checklist slowly gets a horrified look on her face.
(11:11:08 PM) ***Spark_Plug shakes her head, "unless you got a nice double header and 5 minutes to spare, naw, i'm good."
(11:11:10 PM) GreenBank: Cold_Fusion missed a call from... GENEROUS LIGHT
(11:11:11 PM) Cold_Fusion: "The drug...makes you want I suspect..."
(11:11:27 PM) ***Cold_Fusion is now fiddling with her pipbuck trying to call her back.
(11:11:34 PM) GreenBank: Iris takes a second to figure out what the hell Spark's talking about and shakes her head, "Neither."
(11:11:50 PM) GreenBank: Cold finds her radio has been disabled.
(11:12:21 PM) ***Cold_Fusion gets to trying to fix that immediately. "I'll be right back...I just missed a call from Light."
(11:12:27 PM) ***Spark_Plug chuckles, "then I better get back to work, as should you mate."
(11:12:28 PM) GreenBank: It starts beeping again while Checklist parses what has happened.
(11:12:49 PM) Zenith: "A-alright Cold..." She looks back to Checklist "I'm sorry...but I've really got to get back to work..."
(11:12:57 PM) GreenBank: Iris: "Yeah, I gotta go finish with those fi-, er, nymphs."
(11:13:13 PM) Checklist: "Yes. Thank you for your time."
(11:13:15 PM) ***Spark_Plug blinks, "what?"
(11:13:21 PM) Zenith: "A lot of mares just gave birth...So it's even more busy now..."
(11:13:31 PM) Spark_Plug: "The fuck you on about?"
(11:13:40 PM) GreenBank: Iris shrugs, "That mare you brought gave birth to, something.  Changelings I guess."
(11:13:58 PM) ***Checklist nods and goes looking for ponies clad in security armor, or faces she recognizes as part of the security forces.
(11:14:02 PM) ***Zenith scampers off
(11:14:20 PM) ***Zenith returns to the maternity ward and sets about helping out as best she can
(11:14:53 PM) ***Spark_Plug 'sd eye twitches, "your going to dispose of them right?"
(11:16:15 PM) GreenBank: Iris steps back, leg raised, "Uh, that's not really my place to say officer."
(11:17:30 PM) GreenBank: Cold discovers that there's nothing wrong with her radio; someone has locked down the stable's radio network
(11:17:45 PM) GreenBank: It is beeping with an incoming call though
(11:18:06 PM) ***Cold_Fusion swears and then answers it immediately being a tad suspecious of that.
(11:20:09 PM) GreenBank: Downy Quilt's soft voice is distorted by the speaker's tinny air, "Hello?  Miss Fusion?"
(11:20:39 PM) ***Spark_Plug grumbles and sips her coffee, "whatever... i fucking hate these bugs..." she grumbles and sips more coffee.
(11:20:43 PM) Cold_Fusion: "Yes?" She wasn't expecting to hear from Quilt. (Who was quilt again?)
(11:22:43 PM) ***Spark_Plug is pretty infamous as the mare who's tried to sleep with half of it Checklist, and she's standing by the front doors of the clinic, sipping coffee and levitateing her gun. her face has acid burns on it that are partially healed (thanks to Zenith)
(11:23:10 PM) ***Spark_Plug is in full security barding, helmet and all that...
(11:23:22 PM) GreenBank: Iris backs away into the halls.
(11:23:46 PM) GreenBank: (She's the overmare, Cold_Fusion)
(11:24:11 PM) ***Spark_Plug stays at her post like a good little soldier.
(11:25:18 PM) Cold_Fusion: "It's me."
(11:25:29 PM) ***Checklist taps Spark_Plug's shoulder with her giant, dinner-plate sized hooves.
(11:25:40 PM) Checklist: "Excuse me."
(11:25:52 PM) Cold_Fusion: "What's going on? How are you and Light getting your calls through while the Radio is on lockdown?"
(11:26:45 PM) GreenBank: Quilt: "Oh good!  I'm glad Generous managed to patch me through live this time.  How are things up there?"
(11:27:00 PM) GreenBank: Quilt: "I'll explain in a moment."
(11:27:40 PM) ***Zenith performs MEDICINE. She also stops by one of the nurses milling around to ask where everypony went, and by that I mean Ragdoll and Two Tone and Rainbow's sister
(11:29:30 PM) Cold_Fusion: "Well...some of the mares here are giving birth to changeling nymphs...can't...say I really...know how I feel about that...,but we got to the armory and we saved the security ponies there...and we've made a counteragent to cure the stable."
(11:29:41 PM) GreenBank: Zenith manages to catch up to Rainbow as she's getting cloths for her volunteers to dab on the mares' brows.
(11:30:06 PM) ***Spark_Plug jumps and turns around and jumps again, "uh.. hello, need something?"
(11:30:18 PM) GreenBank: Rainbow: "They're getting Fractal settled into recovery and her foals all bundled up."
(11:30:32 PM) Checklist: "Yes. I was told I might be able to help the security forces."
(11:30:42 PM) ***Checklist towers over Spark_Plug.
(11:30:52 PM) ***Zenith fidgets "How many foals...did she give birth to?"
(11:31:26 PM) Zenith: "And were they...you know...changelings?"
(11:31:35 PM) ***Spark_Plug blinks, "Yeah, we're understaffed and our boss got grabed by one of those things, grab a gun, a baton and some armor, your security now."
(11:31:46 PM) ***Cold_Fusion is trotting about while talking to Quilt.
(11:32:02 PM) GreenBank: Rainbow nods, "Six, somehow, and yes.... they are."
(11:32:46 PM) ***Zenith fidgets "That's...disturbingly fascinating. do you think...That's what they want? To turn us into a..." She grimaces "Some kind of...farm?"
(11:32:48 PM) ***Checklist looks down at Spark_Plug dubiously.
(11:33:06 PM) ***Cold_Fusion looks up. "Six?...jeeze...we're going to be out numbered...even if we put an end to this now..."
(11:33:07 PM) Checklist: "Do you have the authority to make that sort of call?"
(11:33:40 PM) ***Zenith looks at all the pregnant mares. Just how many were impregnated by the changelings? just how many nymphs could soon be running around?"
(11:33:52 PM) ***Spark_Plug points with her Baton at where they put all the suplies they revovered, "well? go on, grab yourself some gear ms... whats your name?"
(11:34:10 PM) Checklist: "Checklist."
(11:34:38 PM) GreenBank: Quilt: "Oh dear... I suppose I was hoping they hadn't advanced their plan that far... you say you've got a counteragent worked up?"
(11:34:50 PM) Cold_Fusion: "Yes"
(11:34:59 PM) Cold_Fusion: "miss...Zenith helped with it..."
(11:35:22 PM) Cold_Fusion: "We've got a large amount by now because of all the mares that came in goo'd."
(11:35:24 PM) Spark_Plug: "uh... I think I'm the highest ranking officer not under changling mind control... no wait Teflon is a..." she looks around for Teflon, "What rank are you Teffy?"
(11:36:56 PM) GreenBank: The overmare's voice sounds more strained, like she has a lot on her plate, "At least there's that.  Can it be made an aerosol spray we could introduce into the ventilation system?"
(11:37:29 PM) GreenBank: Teflon is being degooed by Iris somewhere
(11:37:56 PM) GreenBank: Rainbow winces, "I dunno Zeni, but I don't think it's gonna happen." she grins
(11:38:18 PM) Cold_Fusion: "I was going to introduce it to the water system and trigger a fire surpession cycle."
(11:38:26 PM) ***Zenith smiles back and wiggles "Not...if um...We have anything to say about it...right?"
(11:39:23 PM) ***Cold_Fusion looks to Zenith. "Well...assuming...half of the them umm...male...they'll...simply out breed us...unless we stop them from breeding..."
(11:39:59 PM) ***Spark_Plug shrugs, "Well... whatever... I could use some company guarding the doors."
(11:40:00 PM) ***Zenith fidgets and frowns at Cold_Fusion "Oh..."
(11:40:32 PM) Checklist: "... are there changelings out in the halls?"
(11:40:34 PM) GreenBank: Rainbow holds a leg up for a high hoof, "Heck yes!  You gals got this!"
(11:40:57 PM) ***Zenith shakes her head, clearing those thoughts from it and high-hoofing Rainbow with a small smile
(11:41:18 PM) GreenBank: Quilt clears her throat, "Needless to say, we have to expell them and reseal the stable before it becomes inhabitable."
(11:41:46 PM) Cold_Fusion: "Well...we'll....just figure something out...maybe make them sterile some how..."
(11:42:20 PM) GreenBank: Quilt: "For either of our plans, Miss Fusion, you will need to come down here to maintenance.  Which will require an explanation of exactly how we're not under changeling control down here."
(11:42:33 PM) GreenBank: Quilt: "That's a tad.... far reaching, Miss Fusion."
(11:43:20 PM) Cold_Fusion: "Yes...We need to hear that."
(11:43:37 PM) ***Zenith looks at Cold_Fusion's pipbuck curiously
(11:43:47 PM) GreenBank: Rainbow picks up the washclothes in her mouth and jabs at the recovery ward, "Gosha gow!"
(11:44:12 PM) ***Zenith nods "Alright Rainbow. Good luck...um...don't overwork yourself too badly..."
(11:44:38 PM) GreenBank: Quilt clears her throat.  It sounds like she's turned away from the pickup, "Torque, could you fetch Miss Light?"
(11:44:46 PM) GreenBank: Rainbow waves!
(11:44:56 PM) ***Checklist wonders what else to do.
(11:45:17 PM) ***Spark_Plug nods, "I hear something run by ocationally out there, might be them... might just be some pony looking for a place too hide."
(11:45:38 PM) GreenBank: Quilt clears her throat again, "...about six months ago, Generous Light revealed to me that there was a plot against the stable, reaching back to the very founding of our stable."
(11:45:55 PM) GreenBank: Spark hear's footsteps trot past again.
(11:45:59 PM) ***Zenith sits down next to Cold_Fusion to listen
(11:46:02 PM) Cold_Fusion: "What..."
(11:46:14 PM) Zenith: "You mean...this was inevitable?"
(11:46:23 PM) ***Cold_Fusion thinks about it. "Well...I guess that could explain...a few things..."
(11:47:35 PM) Checklist: "So. How did you get here?" Checklist asks Spark_Plug, watching the door carefully.
(11:48:35 PM) GreenBank: Quilt sighs, "It would indeed.  Apparently, one of the original shelterees was some sort of royal changeling.  She eventually corrupted enough of the population to dig a tunnel out of the stable, keep it a secret, and start slipping her own kind in.  They've been sleeping now, waiting for the best time to launch their coup."
(11:49:25 PM) GreenBank: Quilt: "When Generous came to me, they were finishing their final preperations... I'll let her explain why."
(11:49:31 PM) ***Zenith fidgets uncomfortably "I thought they slipped in during one of the expeditions outside..."
(11:49:53 PM) GreenBank: Quilt sighs, "Possibly."
(11:49:59 PM) ***Spark_Plug sighs, "Well... me, Cold_Fusion, Star, and Zenith all went down to the sublevels to check out something, me and star killed some Rad roaches while they went to go check something out in the water filters. I heard screaming, went to check it out, and the security cheif was down after a Changling brained her. I killed it, but not after it spat acid all over my face, then hualed plot up here."
(11:50:16 PM) GreenBank: There's some shuffling on the other end of the connection, "Hello Cold."
(11:50:40 PM) Cold_Fusion: "Well...I guess that means we have one option...there is the option of sending them when they grow up out to the outside...since they're apparently able to survive out there."
(11:50:59 PM) ***Zenith whispers "And Zenith!" She gets a small smile. If she doesn't act a little silly to lighten the mood she might go a little crazy.
(11:51:26 PM) GreenBank: Generous giggles, "Hello Zenith!"
(11:52:04 PM) Zenith: "Hello."
(11:52:14 PM) GreenBank: She sounds a little nervous, "Um, I'd really rather not leave my home Cold."
(11:52:29 PM) Cold_Fusion: "I was refering...to the changeling foals...once they grow up."
(11:52:55 PM) Cold_Fusion: "Sorry I'm trying to keep hopeful we'll make it out of this and have to deal with such long term problems."
(11:53:29 PM) GreenBank: Quilt coughs in the background, "That's a matter for me to discuss with the mothers, and Dr. Doll Miss Fusion."
(11:54:30 PM) Checklist: "Ah. I was wondering what had happened to your face, but... I was afraid to ask."
(11:54:52 PM) Cold_Fusion: "My apologies, but I'm a problem solver...it's the only way I keep myself togeather...anywya continue?"
(11:54:55 PM) GreenBank: Generous: "Yes, well, that /is/ why I came to the overmare... this whole thing will not only hurt our friends, it will ruin the stable forever."
(11:55:31 PM) Cold_Fusion: "Well...we've already apparently got a tunnel to the outside so our stable is kind of ruined as it is"
(11:55:40 PM) GreenBank: Cold: :I "I know Cold, that's why I'm glad you're working on this."
(11:55:50 PM) GreenBank: *Generous:
(11:56:24 PM) Cold_Fusion: (/me briefly talks to herself to repair her self esteem :V)
(11:56:32 PM) GreenBank: Generous: "Not really.  The stable itself is structurally sound and the environment intact.  If you'd like to skip some rather boring moralizing on my part, I could explain the overmare's plan."
(11:56:51 PM) Cold_Fusion: "Moralizing?"
(11:57:36 PM) You are now known as GreenBankGM
(11:57:52 PM) Spark_Plug: "howed you get here Checklist?"
(11:58:33 PM) GreenBankGM: Generous: "About why I betrayed my own species
(11:58:49 PM) GreenBankGM: *species."
(11:59:00 PM) ***Zenith blinks "You're...A changeling...M-miss...Light?"
(11:59:38 PM) GreenBankGM: Generous rubs her leg, fur scrapping against the mic, "....yes."
(11:59:45 PM) ***Cold_Fusion catches that finally.
(11:59:49 PM) Cold_Fusion: "What!?"
(11:59:53 PM) ***Zenith eeps
(12:00:12 AM) ***Zenith eeps at Cold_Fusion's outburst not the revalation
(12:00:16 AM) GreenBankGM: Generous: "I thought the overmare was rather clear about that."
(12:00:29 AM) Zenith: "It...took a moment to sink in..."
(12:00:44 AM) Cold_Fusion: "...Generous...I want to hear your reasons...and I want you to answer one question..."
(12:00:54 AM) GreenBankGM: Generous: "Of course."
(12:01:44 AM) Cold_Fusion: "How...many ponies...in this stable are changelings...not the...the ones like the others here, but like you...just willing to live their lives."
(12:02:19 AM) GreenBankGM: "....maybe a dozen."
(12:02:27 AM) Spark_Plug left the room (quit: Ping timeout: 121 seconds).
(12:02:34 AM) ***Zenith fidgets "Um...do I know any of them?"
(12:02:49 AM) Cold_Fusion: "Have...they gotten some place safe? Because...I don't think we'll be able to tell them apart..."
(12:03:07 AM) GreenBankGM: Generous: "They're all down here with the me."
(12:03:08 AM) Cold_Fusion: "And I want to know your reasons for turning on your race..."
(12:05:11 AM) GreenBankGM: Generous snaps back bitterly, "They aren't my /family/.  As far as I'm concerned, they're the one betraying us; I've been a pony my whole life.  I was born here, grew up here, made friends.... ponies /aren't/ prey!"
(12:06:05 AM) GreenBankGM: Checklist can hear the occasional flutter of what sounds like radroach wings, and hooves on cement.
(12:06:47 AM) Zenith: "Um. Could you give me a second. Checklist was pretty curious about what was going on, and maybe she'd like to hear this..."
(12:06:54 AM) ***Checklist leaves Spark to her business.
(12:07:03 AM) Cold_Fusion: "Then...as far as I am concerned...you're not a changeling."
(12:07:19 AM) Cold_Fusion: "You're one of us."
(12:08:24 AM) GreenBankGM: Generous pauses, "The noodle shop manager?  Er, of course."
(12:08:36 AM) GreenBankGM: Generous sniffs, "Thank you Cold."
(12:09:03 AM) ***Zenith fidgets and stands up "Alright sorry, be back in a second. and I agree with Cold. You're nothing like them."
(12:09:20 AM) ***Zenith scampers off to find Checklist, well less find and more go to the door since that's where she was
(12:09:52 AM) Cold_Fusion: "anyway it goes though...we'll still have to deal with the influx of foals...,but that's a problem we'll deal with later."
(12:10:00 AM) ***Zenith skids to a stop next to Checklist and looks around "Um...You wanted to know what was going on?"
(12:10:03 AM) ***Checklist is walking away from a very drowsy looking Spark.
(12:10:10 AM) Checklist: "Yes."
(12:10:24 AM) Checklist: "... you look concerned."
(12:11:02 AM) ***Zenith scrapes a hoof against the floor "Well them um...-hm? sort of.- anyways, miss Light and Miss Downy Quilt are explaining things to Cold and I. If you'd like to listen."
(12:11:47 AM) Checklist: "The Overmare?"
(12:11:51 AM) ***Zenith nodnods
(12:12:01 AM) ***Checklist perks up and steps alongside Zenith.
(12:12:10 AM) ***Zenith leads Checklist back to Cold_Fusion
(12:12:26 AM) ***Checklist waves to the mare she'd seen before.
(12:12:38 AM) ***Cold_Fusion waves to Checklist.
(12:13:14 AM) GreenBankGM: Quilt adds in, "Indeed.  The foals will be handled later, don't worry."
(12:13:27 AM) GreenBankGM: Generous: "Thanks Zenith.  Everypony there?"
(12:13:40 AM) Checklist: "Hello."
(12:14:19 AM) Cold_Fusion: "So...whats the plan?"
(12:14:29 AM) ***Zenith takes her seat next to Cold again
(12:15:38 AM) ***Checklist stands nearby.
(12:16:14 AM) GreenBankGM: Generous: "Not only do we need to distribute the cure and defeat the changelings in here, but we need to prevent any more from getting in."
(12:16:40 AM) GreenBankGM: Generous: "To do that, we need to cut off their tunnel.... which could possibly take care of item two."
(12:17:11 AM) ***Zenith had filled Checklist in on a little of what she'd missed, the important bits
(12:17:23 AM) Cold_Fusion: "Isn't...one of the issues in dealing with Changelings is their nature as infilitrators?"
(12:17:36 AM) Cold_Fusion: "How can we be sure once we've closed the tunnel off that we've gotten all of them?"
(12:18:41 AM) GreenBankGM: Quilt interjects, "I have Dr. Doll working on something to illuminate them on a Pip-Buck's heads up display."
(12:19:57 AM) Zenith: "Is that where she disappeared to? I thought Rainbow said she was dealing with the foals...er...nymphs? that were just born."
(12:21:39 AM) GreenBankGM: Quilt: "Well, I don't have any idea what she's up to at the moment.  This was a few weeks ago."
(12:21:57 AM) Zenith: "Oh."
(12:22:08 AM) Zenith: "This has been...a long time in planning hasn't it?"
(12:22:53 AM) GreenBankGM: Quilt: "I didn't exactly wait for the traitors to act before moving to thwart them.  I just thought we had more time..."
(12:23:44 AM) ***Zenith nods "I understand."
(12:23:56 AM) Cold_Fusion: "So...I do have one question...why us? I'm pretty sure it was no coincidence that you sent all of us down to maintenance?"
(12:24:17 AM) ***Zenith perks up an ear
(12:24:44 AM) GreenBankGM: Generous audibly facehooves
(12:24:53 AM) GreenBankGM: Generous: "Actually...."
(12:26:17 AM) GreenBankGM: Generous: "It may have been a coincidence that caused her to attack early.  She knew I was planning on enlisting Cold to help, and Sergeant Mist was already in our circle."
(12:26:47 AM) Cold_Fusion: "Wait...I was already on your list of ponies to trust?"
(12:27:08 AM) ***Zenith giggles and pats Cold's back
(12:27:11 AM) Checklist: "Um..."
(12:28:36 AM) GreenBankGM: Generous: "You are probably one of the most trustworthy, and capable mares in Maintenance... despite certain incidents."
(12:28:44 AM) GreenBankGM: Generous: "Yes, uh, Checklist?"
(12:29:06 AM) Checklist: "... nothing. I'm just behind, is all."
(12:29:22 AM) ***Zenith just figures Dr. Doll picked her or something
(12:30:48 AM) GreenBankGM: Generous: "Either way!  What has happened, has happened... you're now our only assests left outside of engineering."
(12:31:04 AM) Zenith: "And you want us to go down there?"
(12:31:07 AM) GreenBankGM: Quilt: "And we definitely need your help."
(12:31:59 AM) Cold_Fusion: "Well...I'll gladly do what I can...,but I nearly burned myself out rescuing Teflon."
(12:32:45 AM) GreenBankGM: Generous: "We can wait a little longer... the changelings don't appear to be doing much honestly.  Consolidating their holds, overcoming last pockets of resistance."
(12:32:57 AM) Zenith: "Like us...and you..."
(12:33:07 AM) Zenith: "Are you well protected?"
(12:33:28 AM) Cold_Fusion: "...well...I'd prefer to get this taken care of sooner...the thought of innocent ponies...being raped...and forced to carrying these things brood."
(12:35:41 AM) GreenBankGM: Quilt: "Is horrifying.  But we can't proceed if you're going to pass out in the attempt."
(12:36:18 AM) GreenBankGM: Quilt: "We're practically a fort, Nurse Zenith."
(12:36:31 AM) ***Zenith fidgets "That's good."
(12:36:51 AM) Checklist: "I am... prepared to fight for my home," Checklist says quietly.
(12:37:06 AM) Cold_Fusion: "I've...umm...already taken some time to relax with Zenith."
(12:37:19 AM) ***Zenith blushes a little
(12:37:51 AM) GreenBankGM: Generous giggles, "Oh!  Well, if you all think you're healthy enough."
(12:37:53 AM) Cold_Fusion: "And...really as long as I'm not being forced to do anything heavily magical..."
(12:38:08 AM) GreenBankGM: Quilt: "And your stable appreciates that, Checklist."
(12:38:22 AM) GreenBankGM: Generous: "...it shouldn't."
(12:39:16 AM) Cold_Fusion: "Anyway it goes...I...can't allow anypony else to fall into their hooves..."
(12:39:27 AM) ***Cold_Fusion shivers a bit briefly imagining it happening to her.
(12:39:44 AM) ***Zenith hugs Cold_Fusion
(12:40:23 AM) ***Cold_Fusion pats Zenith with a hoof.
(12:40:50 AM) GreenBankGM: Quilt muses, "We chose well.....  Alright.  Let me explain what I need you to do."
(12:40:51 AM) ***Checklist looks grim.
(12:42:35 AM) GreenBankGM: Quilt: "Inside the atrium, there are several explosive charges designed to open the main entrance in case of emergency or equipment failure."
(12:43:15 AM) GreenBankGM: Quilt: "With that, we could destroy the Queen's lair and seal off the stable from the outside."
(12:45:29 AM) GreenBankGM: Quilt: "It is, quite frankly, insanely dangerous."
(12:45:59 AM) Checklist: "Ah."
(12:46:19 AM) ***Zenith fidgets and squeaks
(12:46:21 AM) GreenBankGM: Quilt: "We could possibly collapse the bottom out from under us, that's even if the charges still function, are powerful enough to do what we need them to, and you aren't all.... captured... in the process."
(12:48:21 AM) ***Cold_Fusion winces about the captured part. "Well...I think...we could do that..."
(12:48:32 AM) Cold_Fusion: "and if we fail...we'll take them with us..."
(12:48:35 AM) GreenBankGM: Quilt: "You managed to raid the armory?"
(12:48:49 AM) Zenith: "Y-yes..."
(12:48:53 AM) GreenBankGM: Generous sounds weak, "You take all of us with them."
(12:49:16 AM) Cold_Fusion: "Well...better that then a life...a rape slaves..."
(12:49:18 AM) GreenBankGM: Quilt: "....I don't think I need to say this, but you are authorized to use lethal force."
(12:49:52 AM) Cold_Fusion: "and...I'd probably be dangerous to innocent ponies if armed with a weapon...I can't really use much..."
(12:50:23 AM) GreenBankGM: Quilt: "Agreed.  You have your orders ladies... I wish you could contact us, but for now it can't be helped... all of our prayers are with you mares.  Good luck."
(12:50:52 AM) Cold_Fusion: "Wait...where is the lair...and the tunnel..."
(12:51:00 AM) Cold_Fusion: "and where specifically in the attrium?"
(12:52:36 AM) GreenBankGM: Generous chimes in, "You already discovered the entrance in cryogenics.  Once you retrieve the explosives, bring them down here.  As for the charges locations, there should be two under the main door and one above.
(12:56:42 AM) Checklist: "... these charges. Are they difficult to arm or handle?"
(12:58:13 AM) GreenBankGM: Generous: "We'll handle arming down here.  They're inert as is, we'll have to construct a new triggering system.  They will be fairly heavy, however, from their simple size."
(12:59:25 AM) Checklist: "I am a mare of sizable build. I visit the gym and rec rooms often. I do not foresee that being an isssue."
(12:59:52 AM) ***Zenith smiles at Checklist and pats her leg
(1:00:02 AM) Checklist: issue*]
(1:00:23 AM) ***Cold_Fusion smiles. "That's good to hear...means I don't have to float them..."
(1:01:40 AM) Checklist: "... consider me a conscript, if you will."
(1:03:33 AM) GreenBankGM: Quilt: "I thought you volunteered.... either way, I appreciate your assistance Checklist.  Now.  Any further questions?"
(1:05:31 AM) Cold_Fusion: "Not...really."
(1:06:04 AM) Zenith: "I can't think of any..."
(1:06:21 AM) Zenith: "Oh..."
(1:06:40 AM) Zenith: "Um, can we expect...any help from you all if things go south?"
(1:06:43 AM) ***Zenith fidgets
(1:06:50 AM) GreenBankGM: Quilt pauses
(1:07:36 AM) GreenBankGM: Quilt: "It will depend how close you are... the only mare here with any training in fighting is Low Mist.  I've armed some of the repair ponies, but I don't know how effective a rescue party they would make."
(1:07:51 AM) Zenith: "I...understand."
(1:09:45 AM) GreenBankGM: Quilt is silent
(1:10:36 AM) Checklist: "... I see."
(1:11:46 AM) GreenBankGM: Quilt: "I'm sorry."
(1:12:00 AM) Zenith: "It's alright..."
(1:14:03 AM) Cold_Fusion: "Well...I guess...the first thing we should do...you asked about making the cure into an aersol form...should we do that now or wait until time is less pressing?"
(1:15:47 AM) GreenBankGM: Quilt: "Nurse Zenith, how quickly could you make a batch of it with the equipment in the hospital?"
(1:16:22 AM) Cold_Fusion: "Well...the kind we have is currently injectable...Aerosol would require...time."
(1:17:08 AM) Zenith: "Um...About..." She looks at Cold_Fusion "A batch of our normal serum would likely take an hour? maybe?"
(1:17:43 AM) GreenBankGM: Quilt: "Could you do it with the equipment down here?"
(1:17:57 AM) Zenith: "Probably..."
(1:18:09 AM) Zenith: "I'd need materials though..."
(1:19:34 AM) Cold_Fusion: "Well...I think so...all my stuff is still in maintenance...so yeah we've got the equipment."
(1:20:00 AM) Cold_Fusion: "We...don't really need to worry about materials...if Light is willing to contribute..."
(1:20:16 AM) Zenith: "Oh...I hadn't thought about that..."
(1:20:32 AM) GreenBankGM: Generous: "I can... probably provide what you need."
(1:21:00 AM) Zenith: "Thank you...Miss Light..."
(1:22:00 AM) GreenBankGM: Generous: "No, thank you."
