  1. [01:27] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 ----------------------------------------------------------------- STAR GROUP SESSION 28 BEGINNING ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- your gm is not a butt... okay maybe he is.
  2. [01:29] <+Dust_Off> Definitely.
  3. [01:29] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 We last left our stalwart survivors of post-apocalyptia near the large city settlement of Dune and it's bordering mountain. Slaying a small host of New Pony Legion soldiers operating nearby it and one of the caravan roads, they discovered so far in their investigation that this camp was directly responsible with ambusing the passing caravans.
  4. 06[01:30] * +Sagittis feels that life really sucks right now.
  5. 03[01:31] * HoboPhone is now known as Slag_Heap
  6. [01:31] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 What is yet to be seen is what the holodisk they found under one of the wrecked caravans are. We now find them still in the camp, Roy_Calbeck making a discovery that Sour_Grape has been holding out on mint-als... but more importantly to the stallion, that she had adopted a baby griffon plush with diapers.
  7. 03[01:31] * SilentBrony|GM sets mode: +v Slag_Heap
  8. 06[01:31] * +Sour_Grape had her Mint-als taken, she has a sad, but hides it. Also Gwyen wears shorts...
  9. [01:31] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 As Dust_Off fights to make Sagittis see reason in ditching his addictive habits, noting a very serious potential health risk to the young colt.
  10. [01:32] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 ----------------------------- SESSION 28 BEGIN --------------------------------
  11. 06[01:32] * +Slag_Heap watches the horizon, wind blowing through his mane. Oh, wait....
  12. [01:33] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Does that burn mark on right in the middle of that dome of yours feel good Slag_Heap?
  13. 06[01:33] * +Slag_Heap eeenope.
  14. 06[01:33] * +Sour_Grape looks around nervously, "Well, we found the answer, and have proof. Lets go..."
  15. 06[01:33] * +Sagittis grumbles and gets up.
  16. 06[01:34] * +Dust_Off sighs, looking at the two foals, "You said there were tracks leading to Steel Rangers?"
  17. [01:34] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 The sun has risen, climbing well into the morning. It is not quite noon yet, but the heat sure feels like it is. Seemes like another oppressively hot day in the desert wasteland. Great for tanning at least!... Oh wait.
  18. 06[01:34] * +Slag_Heap does not have his stogie, he's put it away for later
  19. 06[01:35] * +Sagittis nods to Dust_Off, still glowering. "Yeah."
  20. 06[01:35] * +Sour_Grape nods, "Well yes. We didn't stop ta chat or nothin'"
  21. 06[01:37] * +Sagittis makes a tired smirk. "Only one had power armor. I'm sure the two of us could have taken 'em if we needed to." Oh, yessssss. Sweet, sweet ego boosting.
  22. 06[01:37] * +Roy_Calbeck wipes sweat off his brow with the back of a hoof. Wrestling with a filly didn't do anything to keep his cool.
  23. 06[01:38] * +Dust_Off hmms thoughtfully, "Thoughts? They were here. They mist know something. They would also have the tech to play the holodisc."
  24. 06[01:38] * +Slag_Heap hums an old war song
  25. 06[01:39] * +Sour_Grape is bad at wrestling. "Well we can talk'ta'em right after we saved'em? Might as well check'em out. Doubt they had much ta do with it."
  26. 06[01:39] * +Roy_Calbeck looks around. "Well, if we're all done checkin' this place over..."
  27. [01:39] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Colt Hansen has a chair and is contemplating asking Roy to take a seat in it.
  28. 06[01:40] * +Roy_Calbeck has two hind legs and isn't afraid to use 'em.
  29. 06[01:43] * +Sagittis "I'll be back in a sec." He goes off to scrounge around the camp for herbs.
  30. 06[01:43] * +Dust_Off looks at Sagittis, "These Rangers...would this be the Outpost the knight told us about?
  31. 06[01:44] * +Sagittis calls over his shoulder. "Doubt it, unless it is piss ass tiny!"
  32. 03[01:46] * Arcane_Scroll is now known as Arcane_Scroll[A]
  33. 06[01:46] * +Dust_Off nods, "Okay, so it might be a group that hasn't even hears that we're besties with Rangers now...or another faction entirely."
  34. [01:46] <+Dust_Off> *even heard
  35. [01:47] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 As Sagittis begins to scour the camp and slightly nearby outside of it proper, the zebra colt happens to come across a small rock field, instantly, as he approaches, he can hear the strange chittering sound of some large creature.... make that... creatures... Very quietly, he happens to see a couple of black carapced stingers bobbing about, near the top of the rocks, the rest of the body of said creature being concealed from h
  36. [01:47] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 creaure being concealed from his point of view.
  37. 06[01:49] * +Sagittis gulps and throws down a smoke bomb before slipping into stealth.
  38. [01:51] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 As Sagittis slips into stealth, under the obscurity of the smoke. The flufflcolt can hear with his momentary ultra-clarity the chittering and now skittering, come closer to his location.
  39. 06[01:53] * +Roy_Calbeck looks over across the camp as a smoke cloud BAMFs into existence. "What th' hell is it now...?"
  40. 06[01:54] * +Sour_Grape narrows her eyes. "Ninjas."
  41. [01:54] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Dust_Off notes that it doesn't take Sagittis normally this long to recover herbs...
  42. 06[01:55] * +Sagittis hides behind a rock, loads his cannon and if he can, applys his scent hiding brew.
  43. 06[01:55] * +Dust_Off looks over at the cloud, "The hell..." She looks around, "Sagittis is gone too long." She unslings her MRR and stalks towards the cloud, carefully.
  44. 06[01:55] * +Roy_Calbeck sighs out. "Better go see what the commotion's about." The unicorn starts to amble in the cloud's direction, trying to see what's there.
  45. 06[01:56] * +Sour_Grape follows after keeping low like she was taught
  46. 03[01:57] * AMARDA-should-be-sleeping ([email protected]) has joined #FalloutEquestriaPNP
  47. 06[02:00] * +Roy_Calbeck goes low to the ground, creeping along like a sneakypony.
  48. 06[02:00] * +Sour_Grape forgots you aren't supposed to whistle loudly as you sneak
  49. [02:01] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Sagittis douses his own scent, as he waits like a hunter observing his prey for the creatures to come into view past the smoke screen. The rest of the party take notice of the very obvious plume of smoke and each try their best to approach without alerting... anything... Sour_Grape hunches down like she remembers to the best of her memory, but still slips slightly as she steps on an errant pebble. Ammy is just... sad.
  50. 03[02:01] * AMARDA-should-be-sleeping is now known as AMARDA
  51. [02:01] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Ammy is just... sad.
  52. 02[02:02] * +Slag_Heap ([email protected]) Quit (Quit: Leaving)
  53. [02:02] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Slag_Heap and Ammy pull out their weapons, the bald ex-soldier his .357 repeater rifle, Ammy, her assault rifle. As the group gets near, Sagittis is first to see two fairly large black insectoid looking creatures with three legs on each side of it's large grotesque carapce, two large intimidating pincers snap in the front of it, followed by a wicked large bulbous stinger.
  54. 03[02:02] * HoboSchool ([email protected]) has joined #FalloutEquestriaPNP
  55. 03[02:03] * HoboSchool is now known as SlagHeap
  56. [02:03] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 There are two of these creatures, Sagittis is somewhat close to these monsters.
  57. 03[02:03] * SilentBrony|GM sets mode: +v SlagHeap
  58. 06[02:04] * +Sour_Grape gives a sigh of relieg as she takes out her shotgun, at least they weren't ants
  59. 06[02:04] * +Roy_Calbeck pulls That Gun out of his packs with his tail, holding it carefully aloft as he crawls along.
  60. 06[02:05] * +Sour_Grape does that later when she can see
  61. 06[02:07] * +Dust_Off lowers herself to the sand and keeps moving towards the smoke.
  62. 06[02:08] * +Sagittis glances to the obvious filly and cringes. He aimes his poison filled cannon at one of the scorpions, aiming a shot should it go for the others.
  63. [02:11] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 As Sagittis tactically holds his position, keeping a bead on the large black impossing creatures, they skitter past him... One... two... three.... begin to venture on the other side of the smoke screen. Every group member can now begin to see large pincers first materialzie from the thick smoke, until grotesquely (or fascinating depending on perspective) creautres appear.
  64. 06[02:13] * +Sour_Grape narrows her eyes, "Bugs."
  65. [02:13] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 As the creatures appear, they immediately take notice to a filly sized morsel and a larger striped prize and snap their pincers threateningly, the snapping is rather loud and can be heared from the main group.
  66. 06[02:14] * +Dust_Off rolls her neck and takes aim at the first scorpion coming through the smoke, then fire again, and then snaps a final shot off. They were fascinating creatures...pity they were going to try to kill and eat the company.
  67. [02:19] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 The pegasexy mare fires her magical recharging rifle, one deadly red beam can be heard from her with much higher intensity than usual as it fries the stinger of the lead creature, causing it to pull back slightly, the stinger limping with a very black scorch mark where the beam struck. The second beam, in less intensity slams into the body of the creature, causing it to shake slightly more. To her surprise, Dust_Off pulls the
  68. [02:19] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Dust_Off pulls the trigger for a third shot, but instead of a beam, her weapon makes a strange hissing and sparking sound, causing a large amount of smoke to start pouring out of the exhaust vents on the side of her weapon.
  69. 06[02:20] * +Dust_Off curses, "Dammit. Second time in a row!"
  70. 06[02:20] * +Roy_Calbeck twists his tail up and forward, scorpion-like, firing two rounds at the nearest scorpion's tail.
  71. 06[02:21] * +Sagittis sees them moving forward and fires off his shot at one of the fresh scorpions.
  72. [02:27] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 The handsome white stallion fires off two precise shots from his stealthed position, nailing the already wounded creature in the already limped stinger. Doing so, the kinetic force completely blows off the stinger, causing ichor to spew out like a fountain. In response to this, the creature lets out an ear-splitting screech like sound, slightly hurting Sagittis' ears.
  73. [02:27] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 The creature thrashes about for a moment, but remains in the fight.
  74. [02:27] <+Roy_Calbeck> "Got th' mother-humper!"
  75. 06[02:28] * +Sour_Grape "Who is doing what to whO! Oh it's so fucking dead now."

  84. 03[02:32] * Set by Strobe on Sun Mar 04 22:28:48
  85. 03[02:33] * SilentBrony|GM sets mode: +v No_One
  86. [02:36] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Sagittis fires off his PAR-T cannon from his position, the vial of poison within zooms past his intended target, his smoke screen obscuring his vision slightly... though heat and his afflicted withdrawal symptoms did not help either, causing one of the creatures to turn in response. The vial smashes harmlessly into a rock.
  87. 06[02:41] * +Dust_Off spots the scorpion turning on the colt, "Sagittis! Move!"
  88. [02:42] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 SlagHeap edges slightly closer to ensure his shot as he draws a bead on the creature Roy_Calbeck had injured... unfortunately, the old, balding stallion slips on a rock causing him to throw his aim off utterly as he fires, his shot sailing and pelting Roy_Calbeck in the backside of his torso. Grimmacing from his slip-up, the ex-soldier fires another round quickly that impacts into the wounded creature.
  89. 06[02:42] * +Roy_Calbeck sits up with a howl: "LO! I am undone!"
  90. [02:42] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 "Fuck! Sorry!" Slag yells.
  91. 06[02:42] * +Sagittis uses his last 5 AP to start backing off.
  92. 03[02:43] * No_One is now known as Sour_Grape
  93. 06[02:52] * +Sour_Grape charges at the scorpian that is looking at Sagi like he's a meal and fires out two bursts at the black monster
  94. 06[02:54] * +Roy_Calbeck looks around at his bloodied backside, scowling.
  95. [02:58] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Sour_Grape rushes up to the large creature about to advance on Sagittis with lightning speed. Firing off a torrent of slugs at the monster with her booming riot shotgun, she causes massive damage to the (to her persepctive) massively large black carapaced creature, blowing holes in it's side. Writhing and shuddering, it weakly limps to the ground, twitching... struggling to get back up repeatedly.
  96. 06[02:59] * +Sour_Grape sticks out her tongue at the creature, that'll show it.
  97. [03:01] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Ammy rushes into effective firing range and fires a burst round from her assault carbine at the lead Scorpion already injured, two of her shots are completely off as the unskilled mare is unfamiliar with the weapon setting, but her last shot flies true and strikes the already wounded insectoid thing, hurting one of it's three left legs.
  98. 06[03:02] * +Dust_Off looks down at Ammy, "Single fire and aimed shots! Don't just go rock and roll!"
  99. 06[03:03] * +Sagittis looks over to the largest of the scorpions and fires a blast from his minigun, rock and rolling if you will, and reloads his cannon.
  100. 06[03:04] * +Sour_Grape rolls over rocks when she's bored. Same thing, right?
  101. 06[03:04] * +Roy_Calbeck rocks backwards, wincing at the pain in his rump.
  102. [03:05] <+Sagittis> (Largest as in least wounded)
  103. 06[03:06] * +SlagHeap looks over at Roy. "You goin' to be alright, soldier?" He calls across
  104. 03[03:06] * Micro_Sparkle ([email protected]) has joined #FalloutEquestriaPNP
  105. 06[03:06] * +Roy_Calbeck rubs at the wound with a hoof, saying nothing.
  106. 06[03:11] * +Dust_Off looks at Roy, "He'll be fine. He's just a little butthurt."
  107. 06[03:12] * +SlagHeap chuckles.
  108. [03:14] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Sagittis unloads a full burst of his minigun, arcing a sweeping motion, as the creatures are fairly close to one another per size and his location. Sadly, jittering and shaking hard from his withdrawals, his arc goes a little too wide and a stray bullet flies into Sour_Grape, catching her in the torso... needless to say little filly, that hurt... a lot. However the two wounded monsters go down in a heap of twised spewing ichor
  109. [03:14] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 spewing ichor, ceasing their twitching completely.
  110. 06[03:14] * +Sour_Grape gives a shrik in pain as she's shots
  111. 01[03:14] <+Sour_Grape> shreik
  112. 06[03:14] * +Sagittis sseing he his Sour_Grape, does not reload, but rushes over to her as he still has healing potion.
  113. [03:15] <+Sagittis> seeing he hit*
  114. 06[03:17] * +Dust_Off aims two shots, rolling her neck. She couldn't help anybody with that thing roaming.
  115. [03:19] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 The pegasus mare zaps the monsterous creature twice, scoring hits on it's right pincer, and stinger, causing it to shake slightly and let out a strange hissing growl.
  116. 06[03:21] * +Dust_Off growls, "Die dammit
  117. [03:23] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 The hulking creature rushes Dust_Off with surprising speed, as it skitters at her and launches it's bulbous stinger, jabbing the pegasus mare in the shoulder... even with armor it really caused a lot of pain... even worse was the horrible sensation she was beginng to feel afterwards.
  118. 06[03:25] * +Dust_Off shrieks, "Fuck, fuck fuck." Oh no...
  119. 06[03:27] * +Roy_Calbeck floats his service rifle out from his bags and lets loose on the final scorpion with a full burst.
  120. [03:31] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 With stellar performance, the blonde maned unicorn fires off a three round burst that rips nasty holes in the armored carapace of the crerature, causing it to let loose an even louder hissing sound, turning it's attention to Roy_Calbeck, who is not too far from Dusty's present location.
  121. 06[03:31] * +Roy_Calbeck snaps off two more rounds for good measure. "Right here, ya catfucker!"
  122. [03:33] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Unrelenting in his brutal assault, Roy_Calbeck fires off another two rounds into the body of the giant creature, causing it to shudder and falter somewhat, each wound positively slick and leaking profuse amounts of ichor gore.
  123. 06[03:34] * +SlagHeap growls and takes aim.
  124. [03:37] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Trying desperately to prove his worth, the balding gruff cyber stallion fires off two rounds, one aimed, the other normal. Sadly only the precision shot manages to strike home and pelt the already wounded creature in the left pincer, causing it to hiss more, though it sounds audibly strained.
  125. 06[03:39] * +Sour_Grape reloads her gun, turns and moves into nrange of the Scorpoian while saying to Sagi, "Get Dust, she's hurt!" before blasting it away with two bursts in complete overkill
  126. [03:42] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Sour_Grape in rage at seeing the closest pony to being her friend stricken, unloads her fury unto the last remaining creature, utterly collapsing the large torso in on itself in a mush, causing it to give out loud pained screeches in it's death throes.
  127. [03:42] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 And yes, it does shower the entire area in juicy gore.
  128. 06[03:43] * +Sour_Grape kicks the things corpse. "Stupid bugs." She looks over to Dust_Off, "Are you okay?!"
  129. [03:43] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Splattering Sour_Grape, Sagittis, Dust_Off and even a bit on Roy_Calbeck.
  130. 06[03:43] * +Roy_Calbeck heads over to check on Dusty, limping slightly.
  131. [03:43] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Dust_Off feels... horribly sick... shaking and nauseous.
  132. 06[03:43] * +Dust_Off shivers as she looks at Grape, "No, I've been poisoned. Sagittis! You have antivenom still?"
  133. 06[03:44] * +SlagHeap walks over to Dust_Off. "Shit... This isn't good. Lost a good pony to scorps back in the day." He looks expectingly at Sagittis.
  134. 06[03:46] * +Sagittis goes over to Dust_Off as fast as he can, pulling out his antivenom. "Here. Drink this!"
  135. 06[03:47] * +Dust_Off takes the anti-venom and drinks, laying down in the sand. She curls to look at her wound.
  136. [03:48] <+Dust_Off> "Thank you, Sagittis. Dammit, I should have took off."
  137. 06[03:48] * +SlagHeap looks back at Dust_Off. "Anything I can do to assist further, ma'am?"
  138. [03:49] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Dust_Off still feels slightly naseous as the anti-venom proceeds to kick in. Sizing the wound in her shoulder is pretty nasty. the piercing fairly deep, but in a concentrated area, nothing vital was struck. A bandage and healing potion should suffice to heal up her wounds.
  139. [03:50] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Roy_Calbeck feels fairly light headed.
  140. 06[03:51] * +Roy_Calbeck turns his head to give SlagHeap a deadpan look. "Now, I know I had my pistol in my tail, curved up over my head at th' time, but there's no such thing as a Golden-Tailed Albino Radscorpion... just so's ya knows."
  141. 06[03:51] * +Sagittis pats Dust_Off's side and curls up next to her like some equine puppy.
  142. 06[03:51] * +Dust_Off takes off her armor to get at the wound. "No, not yet. Search the bodies, save me some samples to study." She wraps her wound in bandage and drinks a potion.
  143. 06[03:52] * +Dust_Off hisses, "Dammit! I just had a stinger there!"
  144. [03:52] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Sour_Grape's wound is painful where she was shot, but she's no bitch!
  145. 06[03:52] * +SlagHeap looks at Roy_Calbeck. "Sorry, Roy. I'm still not used to using light equipment. Underestimated the weight while aiming." He trots over to Sour_Grape. He pulls out a healing potion and looks over her wounds. "Alright, lets get you patched up."
  146. 06[03:52] * +Sour_Grape gets shot all the time, she'll walk it off
  147. 06[03:53] * +Roy_Calbeck looks back at his flank, which continues to gush. "I should prolly get that bullet outta there so I can heal this over." He looks around. "Anypony else get shot?"
  148. 06[03:53] * +Sour_Grape raises a hoof
  149. 06[03:54] * +SlagHeap hands Sour_Grape the healing potion. "That aught to help. Drink up."
  150. 06[03:54] * +Sagittis gets back up. "Let me see what I can get off these things." He goes to strip them of meat, venom sacks and chitin.
  151. 06[03:54] * +Dust_Off puts her armor back on and winces. "Damn arachnids..." She goes to examine Grape."
  152. 06[03:55] * +Sour_Grape waves the attention away, "I'm fine, just a little bullet. Have had worse. Like in every other battle."
  153. [03:55] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Sagittis surely wouldn't have shot Sour_Grape if was using the boom... damn those shakes... throwing off his aim... As the flufflecolt fights his demons, he searches the remains of the pulped remains of each creature... finding that only one of them had enough chitinous plating the be suitable for anything, as well as it's poison gland. Only one other creature has it's poison gland salvageable, the other too severely decimated
  154. [03:56] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 too severely decimated for any valuable items.
  155. 06[03:56] * +SlagHeap smirks at Sour_Grape. "You're becoming the toughest pony I've ever met." He trots over to Roy_Calbeck. "Patch yourself up, Roy." He offers him the potion.
  156. [03:57] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Sagittis also finds two suitable pieces of meat, worthy of consumption.
  157. 06[03:58] * +Sour_Grape "Becomin'? I've been the toughest pony eva' since half mah face was rippied off." That might be an exxageration
  158. 06[03:58] * +Roy_Calbeck takes the potion. "Thanks, but I need this bullet out first, or it'll get infected."
  159. 06[03:59] * +SlagHeap nods. "Ask Dust. I'm going anywhere near your rear." He smirks.
  160. [03:59] <+Roy_Calbeck> "A bandage'd be nice though."
  161. 06[04:00] * +Dust_Off goes to examine Roy, firm, muscular rear. teehee
  162. 06[04:00] * +Sour_Grape rolls her eyes at SlagHeap, "Riiiight, Slag. I hear that those afraid'a lookin' gay are usually the gayest."
  163. 03[04:00] * Arcane_Scroll[A] is now known as Arcane_Scroll
  164. 06[04:01] * +Roy_Calbeck presents his rump in a professional manner for Dusty's tender ministrations.
  165. 06[04:01] * +SlagHeap looks at Sour_Grape and smirks. "Why's that?"
  166. [04:01] <+Dust_Off> "She'a right, you know? Excessive denial is a telling sign." She grins as she professional exa

  168. [04:02] <+Dust_Off> examines Roy's rear.
  169. 06[04:02] * +SlagHeap rolls his eyes.
  170. 02[04:03] * Karina ([email protected]) Quit (Quit: )
  171. 02[04:04] * +Roy_Calbeck ([email protected]) Quit (Connection closed)
  172. 06[04:05] * +Sour_Grape "I'ma fuckin' pyschologist, ya know." She groans and rubs her wound. That made it hurt more. "We goin' ta tha steel rangers, or back'ta town?"
  173. [04:05] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Dust_Off checks Roy_Calbeck's wounded backside, seeing the bullet managed to somehow dig fairly deep, despite the protective layering of his combat barding. However, fairly routine, the pegasus mare is able to remove the bullet with expert skill, blood beginning to pool in the area... however she notes that the stallion showed obvious signs of blood loss... the stallion looked like he's been withholding telling the group just
  174. [04:05] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 withholding just how exactly hurt he was.
  175. 06[04:05] * +SlagHeap "Uh huh. Sure." He huffs in amusement.
  176. [04:05] <+Sagittis> me snorts and looks between Dust and Slag. "One of you gona kiss the booboo to make it better? The new guy did penetrate his ass just now."
  177. 06[04:07] * +Sour_Grape snorts and starts laughing at Sagittis's joke
  178. 06[04:07] * +SlagHeap chuckles.
  179. [04:07] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 There are no donkeys... Must be the lack of rainboom... crazy fluffy colt.
  180. 06[04:08] * +Dust_Off glares up at Roy, "You muscled headed moron! Why didn't you tell me you were this bad off? You...lay down dammit!" She goes about bandaging the wound and then gives him a single potion to start.
  181. [04:09] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Roy Calbeck woozily sways and responds in a tired voice, "Didn't want to burden the troop ma'am." saluting the pegasus mare, the stallion complies and lays down for her.
  182. 06[04:10] * +Sagittis goes over to Sour_Grape. "Um... sorry for popping you there. Want something to eat?"
  183. 03[04:10] * Roy_Calbeck ([email protected]) has joined #FalloutEquestriaPNP
  184. [04:10] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Ammy looks about as she scours the area.
  185. 03[04:10] * SilentBrony|GM sets mode: +v Roy_Calbeck
  186. 06[04:10] * +Sour_Grape shrugs, "Shit happens, if ya meant ta do it'd I'd be in peices. But i'll take some food, thanls."
  187. 06[04:11] * +SlagHeap walks back over to Dust_Off. "Need help?"
  188. [04:13] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Roy_Calbeck is not actually hurt that badly, though that was still one helluva shot.
  189. 06[04:13] * +Sagittis gets out some of his supplies and makes the party a prepared meal. "Who here eats scorpion?!"
  190. 06[04:14] * +Dust_Off totally doesn't get pissed. She smiles, "Oh this is nothing. let me patch you up. Shame I don't have a pollipop for you."
  191. 06[04:14] * +SlagHeap looks over to Sagittis. "I don't, but can you cook a steak?"
  192. 06[04:14] * +Dust_Off looks at Sagittis, aghast, "That's a valuable entomlogical sample you're going to cook!
  193. 06[04:15] * +Sour_Grape "If it's food I eat it."
  194. 06[04:16] * +SlagHeap gets up and walks over to Sagittis, rummaging through his pack. He pulls out two steaks and a bit of sparklelurk meat. "Here."
  195. 06[04:16] * +Roy_Calbeck patiently waits while a slug is removed from his butt.
  196. 06[04:17] * +Sagittis shrugs and holds the scorpion meat, going with the supplies he had baught to make a reall nie stew a while back. He looks over to SlagHeap, then to the rest. "All of you eat meat?!"
  197. [04:17] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Dusty removed the slug and patched your flank Roy_Calbeck.
  198. 06[04:18] * +Roy_Calbeck whews with relief.
  199. 06[04:19] * +Sour_Grape blinks, "Why wouldn't we..."
  200. 06[04:20] * +Roy_Calbeck nods his head. "Eeyup."
  201. 06[04:20] * +Sagittis looks to Sour_Grape. "Some ponies seem to have this thing against it."
  202. [04:21] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Ammy sighs slightly and wipes the sweat from her brow, as she trots back to the group, looking at each and everyone quietly.
  203. 06[04:21] * +Roy_Calbeck peers up at the sky. "Not sure we should be havin' a cooked meal just yet. It's only gonna get hotter."
  204. 06[04:21] * +Sour_Grape "What the fuck else would we eat? Pureed carrots from two hundred years ago?
  205. 06[04:21] * +Dust_Off nods, "Food stocks are rather minimal where i grew up.."
  206. 06[04:21] * +Roy_Calbeck nods a hello to the Stalliongrad zebra.
  207. 06[04:22] * +SlagHeap looks around the group. "We all still got water?"
  208. [04:22] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Ammy nods back Roy_Calbeck saying simply, "Comrade." in whatever the crap accent or non-accent she was supposed to represent.
  209. 06[04:22] * +Sagittis "You do. I got enough to last everyone a week." He slices up the steak and adds it to the stew.
  210. [04:24] <+Roy_Calbeck> "I'm fine on water."
  211. 06[04:24] * +SlagHeap looks between Dust_Off, Ammy, and Sour_Grape.
  212. 06[04:25] * +Dust_Off nods, "Stocked up."
  213. 06[04:25] * +Sour_Grape "Got Sunrise Sasprilla. Is better"
  214. [04:25] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Ammy responds simply again to SlagHeap, "Da."
  215. 06[04:26] * +SlagHeap smirks. "But do you have water?"
  216. 06[04:27] * +Sour_Grape "Ah said I have Sasprilla."
  217. 06[04:27] * +Sagittis looks up to SlagHeap. "You def? I said I had enough for all of us and then some."
  218. [04:28] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 When Sour_Grape isn't loading up fools with slugs, or loading up on mint-als... she's chugging down good ole' Sunrise Sarsparilla! The Cowpony's choice of drink since Celestia and Luna reigned! MmMmm Sarsparilicious!
  219. 06[04:28] * +Roy_Calbeck asides to SlagHeap, "I'm startin' to reference his saddle packs as 'The Bag of Tricks'."
  220. 06[04:29] * +SlagHeap sighs and looks at Sagittis. "And what happens if you get blown to hell, huh? All that water goes bye-bye. Just making sure everyone has decent rations incase the worst comes to fruition."
  221. [04:31] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Convientently, the New Pony legion camp indeed has a campfire readily accessable to cook food... or perhaps even brew up combat enhancers.
  222. 06[04:31] * +Sour_Grape blinks at SlagHeap, "Have you seen Sagi fight? That is the second least likly thing to happen ever."
  223. 06[04:31] * +Dust_Off looks around, "Let's sweep this site once more and then go to the Ranger camp."
  224. 06[04:32] * +Dust_Off takes to air to search for aby
  225. 06[04:32] * +SlagHeap looks at Sour_Grape. "Got to expect the unexpected kid. Learnt that the hard way." HE nods at his metal leg.
  226. [04:32] <+Dust_Off> any more clues or evidence.
  227. 06[04:32] * +SlagHeap "And by that, I mean prepare for any outcomes, good or bad."
  228. 06[04:32] * +Sour_Grape "After the foods done. Need to stock up in energy." She looks at the metal leg, "Riiiiiiight. Pfft."
  229. 06[04:33] * +SlagHeap frowns at Sour_Grape. Kids with attitude. Greeeaaat.
  230. 06[04:33] * +Sagittis dishes out the prepared food pluss extra meat to everyone. "Griffin spiced, meat and veggie stew. Enjoy."
  231. [04:34] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Dust_Off takes off into flight, circling around and finding no other traces or evidence of anything else, besides that strange mound behind the series of tents, that has been confirmed to be a massive burial pit. She finds a small mountain range to the north of their positiion, with the walls of Dune very close to the eastern side of the mountain itself. Far to the south the woods where she found those winged creatures.
  232. [04:34] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 To the west, she sees a sprawling expanse of flat wasteland... sands mixed with the cracked and blasted landscape.
  233. 06[04:34] * +Sour_Grape devours the food like a bat out of hell. She doesn't have a attitude, she has /the/ attitude
  234. 06[04:34] * +SlagHeap takes his meal. He smells it. "Damn..." He takes a bite. "Havn't eaten like this in years."
  235. [04:34] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 To the east is flatland as well, but knows thats where the road was that the caravans use
  236. 06[04:35] * +Dust_Off lands and partakes in the food, "Griffin cooking? From a zebra?"
  237. 06[04:36] * +Roy_Calbeck does a trip around the Legion camp one more time to make sure nothing's been missed, per his orders.
  238. 06[04:36] * +SlagHeap still has a hooflocker on his back.
  239. [04:36] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Roy_Calbeck summarily finds nothing new to report.
  240. 06[04:36] * +Sagittis "Yeah. I'm funny like that. Same reason I can speak it."
  241. 06[04:37] * +Sour_Grape blinks and looks at her bullet wound that is now mostly closed. How did /that/ happen. Sagi must be a wizard!
  242. 06[04:37] * +Roy_Calbeck summarily reports his findings of nothing new to Captain Dust_Off!
  243. [04:37] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Sour_Grape's wound is still there, she just feels better.
  244. 06[04:38] * +Roy_Calbeck gets a bellyful of Sagi's cooking before the group takes off once more under the blistering, sweltering, hot hot hot desert sun.
  245. 06[04:38] * +Dust_Off nods, "So that's what you've been saying. All I heard was 'bar bar bAr bar.'"
  246. 06[04:39] * +Roy_Calbeck peers at Dusty, still licking spice from his lips. "Been a long time since I heard THAT joke..."
  247. 06[04:39] * +Sagittis lets out a little snicker. "Racist."
  248. 06[04:40] * +Sour_Grape giggles a little
  249. [04:40] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Ammy eyes the food, but doesn't approach or make a sound to indicate she wants any.
  250. 06[04:41] * +SlagHeap finishes his bowl. "s'good."
  251. 06[04:41] * +Sagittis shrugs and stores the extra serving. "Thanks."
  252. 06[04:42] * +SlagHeap does inventory management while he waits for the group. "Oh," He looks at Sour_Grape. "What shells are you using for your shotgun?"
  253. 06[04:43] * +Dust_Off nods, "Good cooking, thank you, Sagiittis. Gather your things everyone. We're going to talk to some rangers."
  254. 06[04:43] * +Sour_Grape "Tweleve gauge
  255. 06[04:44] * +Sour_Grape nods and gets up, "Lets go then. Rangers are fun to talk to."
  256. [04:44] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Ammy groans slightly, as he stomach gives a slight protesting sound, though it's quite faint. The zebra mare comments, "I am surprised they are not hostile to zebras... does that not seem odd to the rest of you?"
  257. 06[04:44] * +SlagHeap pulls out 11 12g shells. "Picked these up from the camp." He hoofs them over. "Enjoy." He gets up and shifts his equipment on his back.
  258. 06[04:45] * +Sagittis looks to Ammy. "The scorpions?"
  259. 06[04:45] * +Sour_Grape "Thanks."
  260. 01[04:46] <+Sour_Grape> SlagHeap gains +1 friendship points for boolits. Sagittis gains +5 Freindship points for delicious healing food
  261. [04:49] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Ammy shakes her head and responds to Sagittis, "No, the Steel Rangers. Most stories I have heard between them and fellow equines of the proletariat are generally negative when they encounter one another."
  262. 06[04:50] * +Sagittis shruged. "Well, we did save their asses and I think Sour and I put the fear of foals into them."
  263. [04:50] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Ammy SILENTLY smiles and says nothing further, though she is clearly amused by the flufflecolt's comments.
  264. 06[04:51] * +Roy_Calbeck belches contentedly. "That was some fine eatin'. Thanks."
  265. 06[04:51] * +Dust_Off looks at Sagittis, "Lead the way." She glares
  266. [04:51] <+Dust_Off> at Roy, "Manners, Gunny!"
  267. 06[04:52] * +Sour_Grape "All I know is their armour is tough." And if they come nearby you hide and don't try to fight them unless you have to. Raiders should be smart enough to figure that much out. She follows Dust_Off as they leave
  268. 06[04:52] * +Roy_Calbeck blinks at Dust_Off. "Lettin' folks know ya enjoyed their food IS manners, Cap."
  269. 06[04:53] * +Sagittis reloads his cannon and leads the way.
  270. 06[04:53] * +Roy_Calbeck gets up off his flank and follows, slinging his service rifle at the ready.
  271. [04:53] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Raiders are typically smart enough to avoid Ranger patrols until they're goosed up so high on a combination of Buck, Rage, and Dash, all at once and believe they're the ponified reincarnation of Discord himself...
  272. 06[04:56] * +SlagHeap follows, the weight of his equipment giving him comfort. "So who gave you this mission?" He asks, not loud, but enough for just the group to hear.
  273. [04:56] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Sagittis leading the way, Ammy SILENTLY bringing up the rear, they make their way past the road. It doesn't take too much time, but the sun is now high in the sky, the heat even more oppressive, not just for the flufflecolt... his withdrawal symptoms even more pronounced as he swears he feels like the group is being followed... But everytime he looks about in his paranoia, he doesn't find anything...
  274. [04:57] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Eventually they make it to the outskirts of the Ranger camp, the adorable junkie chem addicts found earlier. Everyone can see in the distance the two tents and makeshift pre-war building in the midsts.
  275. 06[04:58] * +Roy_Calbeck brings Slag up to speed on their mission, the families of Dust, and where the chess pieces theoretically are on the board at the moment.
  276. [04:58] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Mission: "Cause untold havoc across the Mareizona in a highly amusing and unpredictable manner." lol j/k.
  277. 06[04:58] * +SlagHeap processes this info. "Know what, just point and I'll shoot."
  278. 06[04:59] * +Roy_Calbeck grins. "Good buck."
  279. 06[04:59] * +Sagittis grits his teeth and slams his shaking hoof into the ground. Just keep going. Just keep moving.
  280. 06[04:59] * +Sour_Grape "What're we waiting for." She runs towards the group
  281. 06[05:00] * +SlagHeap chuckles. "Just stay behind me next time."
  282. 06[05:00] * +Dust_Off whistles at Grape. "Slow down! You don't run up on an armed group!"
  283. 06[05:01] * +Roy_Calbeck looks at Dusty. "I'm pretty sure that's her default setting."
  284. 06[05:01] * +Sour_Grape is suffering from mint-al withdrawl and doesn't seem the problem, "Why not?"
  285. 03[05:04] * Arcane_Scroll is now known as Arcane_Sleeping[A]
  286. 06[05:04] * +Dust_Off trots up to Grape, "Because they get neverous and ahoot."
  287. [05:04] <+Dust_Off> *nervous and shoot
  288. 06[05:04] * +SlagHeap looks at the steel ranger camp and sneers.
  289. 06[05:05] * +Sagittis hunkers down into stealth.
  290. 06[05:05] * +Sour_Grape gives mock fear, "Oh no! A tiny filly! Shoot it before it gets too close!"
  291. 02[05:05] * +SlagHeap ([email protected]) Quit (Connection closed)
  292. 06[05:05] * +Dust_Off looks at Grape, "Some would, never mind the barding and shotgun on you."
  293. 06[05:06] * +Sour_Grape pffts, "They just make me more 'dorable. Nopony is gunna think I'm a threat, 'cause they don't know me yet."
  294. 03[05:06] * HoboPhone ([email protected]) has joined #FalloutEquestriaPNP
  295. 03[05:07] * SilentBrony|GM sets mode: +v HoboPhone
  296. 03[05:07] * HoboPhone is now known as SlagHeap
  297. 06[05:08] * +Roy_Calbeck cocks his head at Sour. "I dunno about the shotgun, but that stuffie of yours makes you the most adorable little thing I've seen in this territory. Maybe you should have her guard your shotgun."
  298. 06[05:09] * +Sour_Grape frowns, "Momma always told me never ta go anywhere unarmed. Jus'in case."
  299. 06[05:10] * +Dust_Off glances at Roy, "Stop that." She continues towards the camp. "Stay with me."
  300. 06[05:10] * +Roy_Calbeck fails to hide a smirk.
  301. 06[05:11] * +SlagHeap follows the group, his metal leg clanking
  302. 06[05:11] * +Sour_Grape follows after Dusticus_Officus
  303. [05:12] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Sagittis shaking hard, takes a deep breath to calm his addled nerves. Somehow, his technique pays off as for a brief moment everything seems to slow in his mind and he reaches some freaky zebra zen like state, entering stealth in such a manner, that not even his own group members can hear his steps, or notice his trotting.
  304. 06[05:12] * +Roy_Calbeck follows, follows, for what *bricked before Henry the V*
  305. [05:13] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Ammy follows as usual, as the group proceeds to the Ranger camp. Once approaching, the get within a fairly good distance, before finally one of the lookouts, wearing the same recon type armor they saw before spots them and uses his magic to levitate a magi-rifle up aimed saying outloud, "Hold!"
  306. [05:14] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 The lookout is /completely/ oblivious to Sagittis.
  307. 06[05:14] * +Sour_Grape holds up
  308. 06[05:15] * +Roy_Calbeck does too.
  309. 06[05:15] * +Sagittis circles around the camp to FUBAR them hard if things go down.
  310. [05:15] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Ammy proceeds to halt in her pace as well, standing next to SlagHeap and Roy_Calbeck.
  311. 06[05:16] * +Dust_Off holds a hoof to the rest, "We're the Mareizona Irregulars. We would like to speak with your command in regards to an investigation we are pursuing!"
  312. 06[05:16] * +SlagHeap squints at the camp. He puts his cigar in his moth and lights it.
  313. 06[05:16] * +SlagHeap meant mouth.
  314. [05:17] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 The lookout squints and responds, "Mareizona Irregulars?" blinking he says, "Wait... you are the ones that aided Senior Knight Vanilla Sprinke Ice Cream, as well as our other brothers and sisters in their time of need. You are welcomed to proceed to the middle of the camp... please wait outside while I summon her."
  315. [05:19] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 The lookout then turns and enters the pre-war building... which is a strange slightly small rectangular structure... a faded wooden sign can be barely seen that reads with words sautered into it, 'Butterfly Trading post'.
  316. 06[05:20] * +Dust_Off nods, "Thank you." She leads the way into the middle of camp, wary.
  317. 03[05:20] * Hobo ([email protected]) has joined #FalloutEquestriaPNP
  318. 02[05:21] * +SlagHeap ([email protected]) Quit (Quit: Leaving)
  319. 06[05:21] * +Sour_Grape follows after Dust_Off whistling to herself. She appears unworried
  320. 03[05:21] * Hobo is now known as SlagHeap
  321. [05:22] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 As they venture into the middle of the camp, they note that there is actually three tents. Two of which flank a campfire and a rusted ancient outdoor grill, embedded by an iron bar into the ground. There is also a wooden picnic table, as ancient as the grill itself. The Two tents flanking the sides of the camp are fairly small, while the third is large with closed flaps, concealing the interior.
  322. 03[05:22] * SilentBrony|GM sets mode: +v SlagHeap
  323. 06[05:22] * +SlagHeap follows, looking slightly pissed off.
  324. [05:23] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 The mountains are very close to this location they're at. More Steel Rangers in their recon armor come out of their tents with energy weapons at the ready, a magi-rifle for one, a magical recharge rifle for the other, as both Rangers look at the group curiously. A third recon armor wearing unicorn pony mare steps out from the largest tent... one of the ones that the group aided in that battle.
  325. 06[05:24] * +Roy_Calbeck slings his rifle back, ensuring its barrel is pointed down.
  326. 06[05:25] * +Sagittis tries to look around and see what they have laying arround.
  327. 06[05:26] * +Dust_Off nods to unicorn mare.
  328. [05:26] <+Dust_Off> "Hello again."
  329. 06[05:26] * +SlagHeap chews on the end of his cigar.
  330. 06[05:27] * +Sour_Grape "S'up."
  331. [05:27] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 That unicorn mare was the one that was healing her comrades. Smiling she says, "It's good to see you Irregulars. The Rangers welcome you." Finally the door of the pre-war building opens, and an earth pony mare in the familiar power armor comes out, now repaired, with her helmet off, revealing a rugged, rough, but pretty white coated face, with a neatly tied mane a mix of red, green, and blue.
  332. 06[05:28] * +SlagHeap raises an eyebrow.
  333. [05:29] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 'Icey' is then followed by two other recon armored wearing rangers, one of which the unicorn stallion that was hurt, who smiles at the group. Lastly, a fairly young adult stallion with a pimply pink coated face, wearing red ornate robes follows, having a silver bowl cut mane, as he wears thin glasses over his teal eyes.
  334. [05:30] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Icey smiles and says in her now unhindered voice, not being muffled by a speaker system, "Welcome to Shining Armor Post, Mareizona Irregulars. How can the Rangers assist today?"
  335. 06[05:30] * +Dust_Off smiles, "Hello again, Senior Knight. Didn't think we'd visit so soon, but an investigation led us here. We're looking into caravan attacks and found tracks leading from one site to here."
  336. [05:32] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Icey raises an eyebrow in curiousity and says, "You mean that caravan slaughter to the west of this location? Yes we were at the location... sadly before we could render aid to those butchered."
  337. 06[05:34] * +Dust_Off nods, "Did you notice anything? Salvage anything? We traced tracks to a Legion camp, but we're trying to find out more."
  338. [05:36] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Icey shakes her head and responds, "We didn't find anything, not even bodies... just lots of blood and signs of death. From what we could gather, it was a mix of gunfire, light explosives, and something else... almost looked like savage blunt or bladed attacks."
  339. 06[05:36] * +Sour_Grape "The knives'b shit the New Pony Legion uses ah bet."
  340. [05:37] <+Dust_Off> "That something else...we couldn't figure it out either."
  341. [05:37] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Icey then adds with a slight scowl, "Legion you say? That would explain the evidence of brutal physical assault. Probably used the bodies to post them as a warning like they tend to do... poor bastards."
  342. [05:38] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Icey tilts her head and asks, "What did you find?"
  343. 03[05:38] * Waak ([email protected]) has joined #FalloutEquestriaPNP
  344. 06[05:39] * +SlagHeap lets the others talk as he puffs his cigar.
  345. 06[05:41] * +Sour_Grape doesn't know who icey is addressing
  346. 06[05:42] * +Dust_Off sits, "The Legion's moving in on Dune, trying to blockade a little right now. We did find a holodisc, but we can't play it."
  347. 06[05:42] * +Sour_Grape "Oh, that. I bet they're tryin'a make the gangs start infighting to make it easier to smash."
  348. 06[05:43] * +Roy_Calbeck turns to rummage in his saddlebags for a moment before floating the disk up and over to Dust_Off.
  349. 06[05:45] * +SlagHeap puffs on his cigar. He looks around for someone to talk to about unlocking his new hooflocker.
  350. [05:45] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Icey blinks and responds, "A holodisc?" looking at it thanks to Roy_Calbeck, she examines it then gives it to the robe wearing stallion to him speaking, "We still have that audio equipment we scaveneged near Hellfire City right?" the robed stallion nods silently, taking the holodisc and examining it for a moment, before looking up and asking in a high pitched but... irritated tone, "I assume then you wish me to allow them to h
  351. [05:45] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 "me to allow them to hear what data is stored within?"
  352. [05:47] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Icey nods in response to the robed stallion and frowns slightly at him, causing him to look away sheepishly. The power armor wearing mare then shakes her head, her bun shifting about, as she looks back to the group and speaks to Sour_Grape and Dust_Off, "Moving in on Dune? That complicate things... May I ask who you are holding this investigation for?"
  353. 06[05:47] * +Sagittis fosuses on the robed stallion and gets as close as he can without alerting anypony.
  354. 06[05:48] * +Sagittis was going to get the data, regardless of if they wanted the group to.
  355. [05:48] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Sagittis is just... crazy sneaky and manages to get quite close, placing him inbetween the smaller tents flanking the picnic table and campfire. Any closer however would compromise his position. Not even his companions know where he is though, he is that good for the moment.
  356. [05:49] <+Dust_Off> "The Juice family, it was their caravan. They just wanted us to look into this one...it's gotten more complicated."
  357. [05:51] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Icey nods to Dust_Off as she explains. Looking up to the sky she takes in a breath and asks, "Do you mind me asking then, if you are all native to the region? Forgive my assumptions, but most of you don't look to native." Eyeing the filly, she squints with a analytical gaze and comments, "You kinda look like you're a local."
  358. [05:52] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 (look too* native)
  359. 02[05:52] * @Strobe ([email protected]) Quit (Quit: ChatZilla 0.9.89 [Firefox 16.0.1/20121010144125])
  360. 06[05:53] * +Sour_Grape gives Icey a look, "Yeah, somethin' like that. Why do ya care?"
  361. 06[05:54] * +Dust_Off shakes her head, "I'm from out East."
  362. [05:54] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Icey sighs and turns, trotting towards the large tent, having her precession of comrades, including the robe wearing stallion, begin to follow her as she speaks, "I will be honest. We are in sore need of some outside support." The robe wearing stallion begins to frown at the Knight's words.
  363. 06[05:55] * +Roy_Calbeck gives Dust_Off a look.
  364. 06[05:56] * +Roy_Calbeck shakes his head and refocuses his attention on Icey.
  365. 06[05:57] * +Dust_Off follows Icy, giving Roy a look. She shakes her head and refocuses her attention on icey.
  366. 06[05:58] * +Roy_Calbeck follows along.
  367. 06[05:59] * +Sour_Grape follows nervously. She didn't really like Icey's look
  368. 06[05:59] * +SlagHeap feels compelled to follow, feeling the weight of his hooflocker, he looks around for somepony who wasn't busy to ask stuff.
  369. [05:59] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Reaching the largest tent and opening it's flap, Icey motions for the group to enter, while the recon armored ponies stand about around the outside. Inside there is another red robed wearing mare, much older, her mane completely white, as she stands next to a chalkboard.
  370. [06:00] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 In the middle of the tent is a giant metal table, with many chairs surrounding it.
  371. 06[06:01] * +SlagHeap remains outside and looks at the recon ponies. He chews on his cigar for a moment then approaches one. "'Scuse me, friend." He says. "I got a question for ya."
  372. 06[06:01] * +Dust_Off nods to robes mare. She waits for Icey.
  373. [06:03] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Icey was expecting the group to enter first, but she shrugs and proceeds in, the robed stallion stashes the holodisc, hanging halfway out of a pocket, as he holds the flap open instead, allowing access inside. As SlagHeap addresses one of the recon armored ponies, a earth pony stallion looks at him and asks, "Yes?"
  374. 06[06:03] * +SlagHeap nods at his hooflockerbackpack. "Found this while out in the wastes, got a tough lock to crack. You guys got any decent locksmiths around here?"
  375. 06[06:05] * +Sagittis waits outside the tent for the scribe to come out again.
  376. 06[06:06] * +Dust_Off walks into the tent and takes a seat.
  377. [06:06] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 The recon armored wearing stalion SlagHeap was addressing looks at him strangely for a moment and responds, "Knight Initiate Cream Puff is pretty good at cracking locks, but she's out on patrol for the moment. To which we cannot divulge such private information to your group, as helpful as you are."
  378. 06[06:07] * +SlagHeap nods. "Aight, thanks." He remains outside, puffing his stogie. "So where did you guys transfer from, or is that classified too?"
  379. [06:07] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 The stallion responds simply, "Yes it is."
  380. 06[06:08] * +Sour_Grape takes a seat
  381. 06[06:09] * +SlagHeap smirks. "Sure it is. Anything you can tell me that isn't classified, or are you a bunch of super spies who poofed out of thin air this morning?"
  382. [06:09] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Icey takes a seat, with the scribe holding the flap open. Looking at the rest of the group that isn't seated as he speaks in a fairly frustrated tone, "As much as I enjoy being a doorstop, do the rest of you plan on entering, or will you remain outside? EIther way I could care less."
  383. [06:10] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Ammy just looks at the robe wearing scribe and sits down at the corner of the table. On the table itself is a large road map with various intersecting lines, new fresher lines in various colors are scrawled over the paper. At the top reads, 'Mareizona Province. 20--...' the rest being illegible.
  384. 06[06:11] * +SlagHeap is outside and out of earshot, or at least his player assumed this.
  385. [06:11] <+Dust_Off> /me looks over at Slag_Heap, "Mister HeP, stop bothering put hosts!"
  386. 06[06:11] * +Roy_Calbeck heads inside and takes a seat, murmuring an apology to Icey on the way past.
  387. [06:11] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 The recon wearing stallion speaking to SlagHeap responds, "If you prove yourselfs invaluable to our cause, perhaps you will be allowed privlege to know of our sacred homes, but until such event, we cannot divulge such critical information to outsiders."
  388. 06[06:12] * +SlagHeap nods. "Yeah, didn't think so." HE looks inside and trots in. "Yes ma'am." That was amusing. Fuckin rangers.... He takes a seat.
  389. 06[06:13] * +Roy_Calbeck murmurs that to the scribe, that is.
  390. [06:13] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Icey glares at the scribe and speaks in a commanding tone, "Scribe Sesame Stick... please enhance your calm." The scribe balks slightly under the glare and nods speaking apologetically to /her/, "Yes, Senior Knight." as those that enter take their seat, he enters, letting the flap close behind him and takes his seat next to Icey.
  391. 06[06:14] * +Roy_Calbeck stifles a sigh of pleasure at being under shade at long last.
  392. [06:16] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Icey smiles then turns to the seated Mareizona Irregulars, speaking in a polite tone, "Please forgive my subordinate's callous attitude. Not everyone shares out Elder's new vision, though considering our affliation, that is to be expected. Though there is /no need/ to be uncivil. In the end, regardless of whether we follow this new course in the Codex or remain true to our original statement, we ultimately are here to save Equ
  393. [06:16] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 "ultimately are here to save Equestria and return it to it's former glory."
  394. [06:17] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Icey then adds, "I'm sure you have questions. Many of them. I will be willling to answer what I am /allowed/ to answer. But before you ask anything, I sincerely ask for you to listen to our plea."
  395. 06[06:18] * +SlagHeap thinks. Isn't that what Red Eye said too? What a coinkiedink.
  396. 06[06:18] * +Dust_Off nods, "Of course."
  397. 06[06:18] * +Roy_Calbeck waits with polite attention.
  398. [06:19] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Icey smile and says, "Thank you." The tent is lit up by a series of magical lamps, fed through various rechargeable spark batteries... both SlagHeap and Dust_Off note to their curiousity, that these batteries look relatively new compared to most pre-war junk found in the wasteland.
  399. 06[06:20] * +SlagHeap only realises this because he was bored and looking around. He hums to himself.
  400. 06[06:20] * +Dust_Off glances at the lights' batteries curiously.
  401. 06[06:20] * +SlagHeap that is, hms. He isn't humming a tune or anything.
  402. [06:22] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Icey then clears her throat and speaks, "For years, since the the megaspells first fell, our order held true to the founding codex of uninvolvment to the wastes. Scouring the lands to recover technology too dangerous to allow others to keep. This you undoubtedly know about us." Standing up she turns and says with a tinge of forlorn, "What you do /not/ know is that we have needed to alter our plans. An alteration most in our or
  403. [06:22] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 "An alteration most in our order are not happy about."
  404. 06[06:22] * +Sour_Grape starts falling asleep. This was so boring.
  405. [06:23] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 The power armor mare turns and continues, "We are locked in a two-front war. /War/ in the Mareizona between the Mareizona Airborne Corps and now this... New Pony Legion. To put it simply, the war does not fare well for us. To say we're taking a beating is an understatement."
  406. 06[06:24] * +Roy_Calbeck is bright-eyed, attentive, and would be taking notes if he had pencil and paper. What's a teacher's pet.
  407. 06[06:25] * +SlagHeap is pretty bored. This meant nothing to him. Well, except for the fact the rangers are taking a pineapple up the arse, which amused him.
  408. [06:26] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Shaking her head, the power armored mare adds, "We have technology, we have a good amount of food supplies, but we lack Pony power. The Mareizona is still, even after these centuries, are loaded with undiscovered stores of tech, due to how volatile Hellfire City is and other settlements such as Dune, Howti, and Mercy."
  409. 06[06:27] * +Roy_Calbeck looks down at the map, trying to commit it to memory.
  410. [06:27] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Icey paces about speaking, "So in an... effort... to help win us this war. We are taking measures we previously did not take... namely, freely aiding those not allied with our enemies. Sadly, the locals do not trust us. They... appreciate our aid, but refuse to join our cause. I cannot honestly blame them, we have taken drastic measures in the past to secure valuable technology."
  411. 06[06:29] * +SlagHeap puffs on his cigar.
  412. [06:30] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Sesame Stick just frowns at Icey's story, as the power armored mare once again trots to the table and speaks, "So my plea... is that you aid our cause. Persuade others the assist us... The Steel Rangers cannot simply ride out the coming storm any longer. We must act, or the Mareizona... and potentially the rest of Equestria will be ruled by one of two other villainous factions."
  413. 06[06:30] * +Dust_Off looks at Icey, "What do you need specifically?"
  414. 06[06:32] * +SlagHeap looks at Icy. "And what do we get in return?"
  415. [06:32] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Icey smiles and speaks, "Be our unoffical members of our order. Be our eyes, ears, hooves, or even horns in our name. See what hides from us. Listen to what we cannot hear. Go and act where we simply cannot."
  416. [06:34] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Icey looks at SlagHeap and responds, "I cannot one hundred percent garuntee this, but I am fairly certain you will be given cause to join our order. Our chapter is changing as I've said. Aid and join our ranks and you will be treated with the same respect, privliege and benefit that comes with being an honorary Steel Ranger."
  417. 06[06:34] * +SlagHeap scratches his chin. "Does this maybe potentially mean weapons and power armour, maybe perhaps possibly?"
  418. [06:36] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Icey sits upright and gains a determinedly stoic expression replying, "Provided you abide by our oaths and never falter in our mission, always having our best interests in your heart and mind, Yes, you will be provided what is necessary to support our cause."
  419. 06[06:38] * +SlagHeap sits up. "Alright, there's my carrot on a stick." He looks around the room at his comrades. "Thoughts?"
  420. 06[06:38] * +Roy_Calbeck looks up and blinks, once. With his face carefully neutral, the unicorn says, "So...you want us t'work for you, with the reward bein' we MIGHT get accepted into yer order."
  421. 06[06:39] * +Dust_Off nods, letting Slag and Roy talk.
  422. 06[06:39] * +SlagHeap is... actually being helpful...
  423. [06:40] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Icey turns her gaze to Roy_Calbeck and speaks, "I say /might/ because I am not officially permitted to say 100% if you are absolutely allowed to join or not. But trust when I say, your chances of being allowed into our order is very high, provided you do as I say."
  424. 06[06:41] * +SlagHeap smirks. "Well if it all goes to hell, I'm sure we can work something out on an unofficial level, or maybe something not including records."
  425. 06[06:41] * +Roy_Calbeck blinks again, his look unchanged. "Why would we serve your order, as though we were members of your order, with all the risks and tribulations that would entail, without any guarantee of substantial benefit to our unit's members?"
  426. [06:42] <+Roy_Calbeck> "Or, for that matter, actual recognition as members?"
  427. 06[06:42] * +SlagHeap taps the table. "We want a guarantee to rewards. Preferably of our choosing."
  428. 06[06:44] * +Sour_Grape laughs at SlagHeap, "you're an idiot."
  429. 06[06:44] * +SlagHeap laughs too. "Stop me then."
  430. [06:44] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Icey sighs an responds, "I really wish I could garuntee, but you have to understand... this decission is highly controversial in our order. Never have we ever seriously entertained the thought of even aiding outsiders, let alone giving them the possibility of joining our ranks. The only feasiable way it has /ever/ so /rarely/ been done in the past in under the most extreme and unlikely of circumstances."
  431. [06:45] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Icey adds, "Mainly, if an outsider proves beyond a doubt, above and beyond what is expected from an outsider in directly aiding us."
  432. 06[06:45] * +Dust_Off holds her hoof up, "Hold on, everyone."
  433. 06[06:45] * +Roy_Calbeck nods. "What you are telling me is that it is costing your order dearly just to ask us to do work for your order's benefit..." He stops at Dusty's upraised hoof.
  434. 06[06:47] * +SlagHeap smiles to himself, enjoying watching the ranger squirm.
  435. [06:48] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 The scrawny young scribe sitting, scowls as he looks at SlagHeap.
  436. 06[06:49] * +SlagHeap doesn't care. He puffs his cigar happily.
  437. 01[06:49] <+Sour_Grape> SlagHeap gets -5 Friendship points for being an agressive jackass during negotiations
  438. 06[06:49] * +Roy_Calbeck remains focused directly on Knight Vanilla Ice Cream Sprinkles, both forehooves on the table, folded over one another.
  439. 06[06:50] * +SlagHeap doesn't care. He dislikes rangers.
  440. [06:50] <+Dust_Off> • Dust_Off takes a breath, "The chance to join the Rangers and gain the benefits thereof are a very worthwhile reward and a rare opportunity, but I feel the issue is whether or not we will get some reward for our assistance. We haven't even the logistics of your chapter, so we need an assurance of at least supplies to replace what we expend or caps so we can get those supplies."
  441. 06[06:50] * +Sour_Grape nods at Dust_Off, "I was about to say that fore dumb'n'dumber started goin' off."
  442. 06[06:51] * +Dust_Off smiles at Grape.
  443. 06[06:51] * +Roy_Calbeck looks at Sour with a half-smile. "Y'left out '
  444. [06:51] <+Roy_Calbeck> 'dumbest'."
  445. [06:51] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Ammy raises an eyebrow and looks at Roy_Calbeck strangely.
  446. 06[06:51] * +SlagHeap looks at Sour. "All the more reason you should have stopped me earlier." He smirks.
  447. 06[06:51] * +Roy_Calbeck looks back at the Knight.
  448. [06:51] <+Dust_Off> "You can have both titles, Gunny. Now hush."
  449. 06[06:51] * +Sour_Grape looks around but doesn't see Green
  450. [06:54] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Icey smirks and responds, "If you doubt my words in our supplies, I have no problem in showing you our wares. It is the leas- " before she can finish, the mare is suddenly cut off by the Scribe stallion as he speaks in a loud, angry tone, "Senior Knight, I cannot abide by such a decision! They are unproven outsiders that we know nothing about! They could be working for N.P.L. or even M.A.C. as we speak!"
  451. 06[06:55] * +SlagHeap sighs. "Heeere we go." He mutters. Typical xenophobic rangers.
  452. 06[06:55] * +Sour_Grape raises her hoof, "I'm personally slaughtered members from both them shitheaders. Haven't ya bein' payin' attention
  453. 06[06:55] * +Dust_Off looks at the scribe, "We killed the MAC attacking you, and wiped out the NPL camp i mentioned."
  454. 06[06:55] * +Sagittis gets his firing bit in his teeth at the sound of yelling.
  455. [06:55] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 The scribe turns to SlagHeap and continues getting slightly louder and more confrontational in tone, "Even as you speak our plight, that uncouth ruffian was simply grinning, no doubt relishing out ver-" getting cut off himself, Icey slams a power armored hoof on the metal table and shouts very loud in a voice that rang with years of experience, "Enough of this! Scribe Sesame Stick, you are out of line! You are hereby dismissed
  456. [06:56] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 "You are hereby dismissed from this meeting. Return to me the holodisc, immediately and return to your domicile."
  457. 06[06:56] * +SlagHeap taps his leg. "When the rangers took my leg, they took my reason to care."
  458. 06[06:56] * +Dust_Off glares at Slag_Heap, "That is enough."
  459. 06[06:56] * +SlagHeap nods and sits back.
  460. 06[06:57] * +SlagHeap looks at Dust_Off. "Shall I take a walk?"
  461. 06[06:57] * +Roy_Calbeck waits for the fooforaw to settle down.
  462. 06[06:57] * +Sour_Grape also glares at SlagHeap, "You're new to the group, means they wont give a shit if I smash your teeth in for jepordizing our mprospects."
  463. 06[06:58] * +SlagHeap nods at the two. "I'll just step out." He smiles and gets up. He leaves the tent.
  464. [06:58] <+Roy_Calbeck> "Sour, enough. It's not helping."
  465. [06:58] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 The Scribe stallion blinks then produces the holodisc speaking in a fairly angry tone, "By your will, Senior Knight." then tromps out of the tent, brushing by Sagittis who is sneaky hidden and feeling... rather warm being constantly out in the heat. The flufflecolt does note the Scribe was trotting back to the pre-war building.,
  466. 06[06:59] * +Dust_Off rolls her eyes and looks at Icey apologetically, "I'm sorry."
  467. 06[06:59] * +Sagittis looks to see if the scribe still has the disk sticking out of his pocket.
  468. [07:00] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Icey facehoofs with her armored foreleg and lets out a long dispondant sigh. Afterwards she sets it down and turns to the group inside the tent, speaking apologetically, "There is no need. It is us, who must apologize. You have already proven you are trustworthy enough to be allowed sight of our wares by literally saving our lives and letting us leave. We are here, pleading for your help, not the other way around. --
  469. [07:00] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 "the other way around. ---
  470. [07:00] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 -- "You do not need to be questioned in your motives."
  471. 06[07:01] * +Sour_Grape should be questioned early and often, but that's not the point
  472. [07:01] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Sagittis is having a fairly hard time focusing in the heat of the sun, but he definitely doesn't see the disc anymore.
  473. 06[07:01] * +SlagHeap stands outside and finds some shade he sits down and reflects on what happened. He makes a mental note to just be a flesh wall and shoot instead of talk. He does get a smug smile at how the ranger squirmed. He so enjoyed that.
  474. [07:02] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Sagittis also suddenly sees SlagHeap, who... looks rather pleased. The much older stallion however doesn't notice the ultra sneaky colt.
  475. 06[07:03] * +Sagittis rolls his eyes and goes to find a more shady spot to hide.
  476. 06[07:03] * +SlagHeap extinguishes his cigar and puts it away. Gotta ration.
  477. [07:04] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Icey clears her throat and speaks, gaining a smile again, "As I was saying, Yes, we have even in this modest outpost, substational technology. Do you wish to observe?"
  478. 06[07:05] * +Dust_Off shakes your head. "He misplaces blame on you. You did not take his leg." She gets up. "I would love to, Senior knight."
  479. 06[07:05] * +Sour_Grape nods, "Yes ma'am."
  480. 06[07:06] * +Roy_Calbeck gets up to follow.
  481. 06[07:06] * +SlagHeap hums a song to himself as he examines his old, cracked hoof.
  482. [07:07] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Icey nods and smiles saying, "While we're at it, my other scribe will assist and help retrieve the data on your disc and see if we can't find something pertinent to your investigation." The power armored mare nods to the other older scribe mare, who smiles and nods back saying in a kindly tone, "By your will Senior Knight." then the two proceed to exit the tent.
  483. 06[07:09] * +SlagHeap sees the group exit. He walks over to join them again.
  484. [07:09] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Sagittis finds himself behind one of the smaller tents and observes the rest of the crew exiting, along with the power armored mare and a new older unicorn mare, head to the pre-war building. The recon wearing ponies have resumed their normal patrols or entered one of the two smaller tents.
  485. 06[07:10] * +Dust_Off follows in her pretty...beat up recon armor and now glitchy Shepard ME-1 MRR slung over her back.
  486. 06[07:10] * +Sagittis finds a gap a seeks to follow them in.
  487. 06[07:10] * +SlagHeap regroups with the group. He remains quiet though
  488. [07:10] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Dusty at least still has dat perfectly coiffured mane! And Sour_Grape with her adorable pigtails! SlagHeap just needs hair-restoration gel...
  489. 06[07:11] * +SlagHeap would lose his perk though!
  490. 06[07:11] * +SlagHeap is still proud of his manly facial hair.
  491. 06[07:11] * +Sour_Grape pig tails bounce when she trots. It's adorable and deadly
  492. [07:12] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Sagittis totally needs rainboom....
  493. 06[07:13] * +Dust_Off tosses her curly locks behind her in a smooth cascade of mane.
  494. 06[07:13] * +Roy_Calbeck is just Roy, trotting along placidly behind.
  495. 06[07:14] * +SlagHeap brings up the rear looking old and not so handsome. But manly. So very manly.
  496. 06[07:14] * +SlagHeap wishes, at least.
  497. [07:14] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Speaking of the zebra colt, he spots his crew with Icy and the older scribe mare enter the pre-war building, where he loses sight of them completely. A stallion manages to catch Dust_Off's cascade and goes wide-eyed, standing rigid. As the rest of the group enter (Ammy included) they see a messy trashed interior, similar to the carriage station of past... though SlagHeap wouldn't know of that place.
  498. 06[07:15] * +Dust_Off looks around.
  499. 06[07:15] * +SlagHeap does not recognise this place. "Reminds me of home..."
  500. [07:16] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Inside the interior, is a table with a turned over chair, to which Icy trots over to the desk and opens a drawer, pressing a button afterwards. As she does those inside see a brilliant cascade of purple light envelop them and in a wink of an eye and slightly blinding flash, they find themselves dazed slightly, their vision blurry.
  501. 06[07:16] * +Sour_Grape rubs her eyes, that burned
  502. 06[07:17] * +Roy_Calbeck blinks several times.
  503. 06[07:18] * +SlagHeap "...except that." He rubs his eyes.
  504. 06[07:18] * +Roy_Calbeck shakes his head. "Was that a teleporter?"
  505. [07:18] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 When the groups vision finally returns it's focus, they see they're in a somewhat spacious concrete room, with various shelves and metal hooflockers. A door leads down the way to which the two steel rangers ignore and proceed into a work station, being a large table filled with many technological goods, ranging from mundane computing devices, up to full suits of power armor, being worked on by other red robed ponies.
  506. [07:18] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 on by other red robed ponies.
  507. 06[07:19] * +Dust_Off rubs flight goggle covered eyes, "Gah! The googles they do nothing!" Her vision clears and she looks about,"Oh my..."
  508. 06[07:20] * +Sour_Grape "Thats... fancy... Ah guess."
  509. 06[07:20] * +SlagHeap blinks and looks at the armour and heavy weapons. He grins.
  510. [07:20] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Icey smirks and looks over her shoulder to Roy_Calbeck speaking with pride, "That it was. Welcome." she stand before the group, with the workstation.
  511. 06[07:21] * +SlagHeap looks at Icy. "So... we might get to use any of this..."
  512. 06[07:21] * +Sour_Grape "Slag. Shut. The. Fuck. Up."
  513. 06[07:22] * +SlagHeap "I take back everything I said." He looks at Grape and makes a zipping motion across his lips.
  514. [07:23] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Sagittis is also in the room, but is also dazed, absolutely unsuspecting the event that just played out. When his own vision comes to, he notes that now, he's standing slightly away from the group, the group being on a large lighted pad.
  515. 06[07:24] * +Dust_Off goes to workstation Icey is at.
  516. [07:24] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 One of the scribed ponies already in the storehouse, looks at the newcomers apprehensively and speaks in a nervous tone, "S-Senior K-Knight... are you certain it is wise to allow so many outsiders here? Do they not all p-pose a p-potential s-security threat?"
  517. 06[07:24] * +Sagittis curses the failure of his sunglasses. Must be the Rainboom’s fault.
  518. 06[07:25] * +SlagHeap doesn't say a word.
  519. [07:25] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 The nervous scribe has looked between each member, Sagittis included, though the rest seem oblivious to the colt.
  520. 06[07:26] * +Sagittis shakes his head to clear it. Damn skippy he was a /massive/ security risk. My little clepto; My little clepto...
  521. [07:27] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Icey turns to the nervous scribe and responds in a calm tone, "At ease scribe. These outsiders have proven themselves thus far and I have no reason to believe they will cause harm. Neigh, they may actually assist our cause, now that they see for themselves that we are not simply speaking of fluff." The mare turns back to the group then blinks when she spots Sagittis.
  522. [07:27] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 The group can tell by her facial expression she looks... puzzled.
  523. 06[07:28] * +Dust_Off follows her gaze to Sagittis. "Colt, we're good. Your overwatch is done."
  524. 06[07:28] * +Sagittis grits his teeth. "Pony feathers."
  525. 06[07:29] * +Sour_Grape spreads her wings and looks at her feathers, what about them she wonders.
  526. [07:30] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Icey shifts her jaw about from side to side as she looks silently at Sagittis, then hears Dust_Off and looks to her in silence. The older unicorn mare scribe that followed with the group, looks fairly nervous and turns to Icey trying to ask in a quite tone, "Senior Knight ar-" but the mare is cut off, as Icey raises a hoof, demanding silence from her subordinate, then sets it down.
  527. 06[07:31] * +Roy_Calbeck admires the fluffed wings for a moment.
  528. [07:31] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Dem wings need to be properly preened!
  529. [07:31] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Disgrace little filly!
  530. [07:32] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Ammy rubs her eyes, then sees Sagittis and shakes her head muttering quietly in zebra, ("Oh this might be bad...")
  531. 06[07:34] * +Roy_Calbeck nods towards Sagittis. "Nice work." The unicorn smiles, almost beaming with pride.
  532. [07:35] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Icey sees Dust_Off is silent then clears her throat, before calmly looking at the pegasus mare and speaking just as calm, "Ma'am. I would like to believe I have sound enough judgement to trust your intentions. Trust that... you have no ulterior motives, as my scribe has so foolishly exclaimed. Seeing your hidden ally, I must confess, has me fairly surprised. We have not given you any cause to be suspicious of us have we?"
  533. [07:35] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 "suspicious of us have we?"
  534. 06[07:40] * +Sagittis looks around the room and mutters. "Je umbwa ya jehanum haja ya kutoa sababu kwa tuhuma?"
  535. 03[07:43] * +Roy_Calbeck ([email protected]) has left #FalloutEquestriaPNP
  536. 06[07:43] * +Dust_Off smiles, "Trust but verify. We didnn't know if we had the right rangers when we walked up."
  537. [07:45] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Icey gives a fairly dispondant sigh and responds, "I know that we have a rather... marred history with the Wasteland. But I am being completely honest when I say we need and wish for you to aid us. However, we need you to trust us, as we trust you. Otherwise we will be an uncohesive unit."
  538. [07:46] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Icey sighs once more and says, "That being said... I will be willing to overlook this suspicious act on your behalf and still provide you the aid we gave our word upon, if you do not commit any further similar acts in our presence."
  539. 06[07:46] * +SlagHeap scratches his sideburns.
  540. 06[07:47] * +Sour_Grape "We weren't sure ya were the ones we helped out 'fore. Ain't we didn't trust ya, it was that we didn't know ya was yas."
  541. 06[07:47] * +Sagittis looks at Dust_Off, more than a bit confused.
  542. [07:49] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Icey looks to Sour_Grape and responds, "Understood, hence why we are willing to overlook this incident, provided it isn't repeated in the future."
  543. 06[07:50] * +Sour_Grape nods, "Jus' makin' sure that was there'n all."
  544. 06[07:50] * +Dust_Off nods, "Our trust is sure now, Senior Knight. I'm sorry. We are cautious as a group of lone outsiders should be. How about a bit of intelligence as a sincere apology?"
  545. [07:50] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Icey turns back to Dust_Off and smiles slightly again speaking with her voice having her spirits rising again, "Any bit would be appreciated."
  546. 06[07:51] * +Dust_Off looks around, "Do you have a map of the local area?"
  547. 06[07:51] * +SlagHeap clears his throat.
  548. 06[07:51] * +Sagittis looks at Dust_Off as if she is insain.
  549. 06[07:52] * +Dust_Off looks at Slag, "Yes? Some to add? Politely?"
  550. [07:53] <+Dust_Off> *Something
  551. [07:53] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Icey nods to a random scribe in the room, who proceeds to trot over to the pad. Ushering for the group members to step off, he steps on it the uses his magic to have his horn glow, pressing a button against the wall, that is purple in color. As he does press it, there is another bright purple light that summarily envelopes him then he disappears in a bright flash.
  552. 06[07:53] * +SlagHeap "I would like to apologise." He looks at Icy. "I have a complicated past with the rangers and those experiences have left a fairly bad taste in my mouth." He smiles. "I'm sorry for being an ass earlier."
  553. 06[07:54] * +SlagHeap adds "You're not like the others that shot on sight. Thanks for that."
  554. 06[07:55] * +Sour_Grape rolls her eyes and reminds herself to teach SlagHeap about timing
  555. 06[07:56] * +SlagHeap has the charisma of a toad.
  556. 06[07:56] * +SlagHeap also thought we were apologising so he took the oppurtunity.
  557. [07:57] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Icey gives a sad smile to SlagHeap and responds, "Thank you for the apology sir." not long afterwards, the scribe returns with the road map that was on the table in the tent and goes to give it to Icey, to which the mare points to the scribe to give to Dust_Off instead. So the scribe offers the road map to the pegasus mare.
  558. 06[07:58] * +Sagittis "I... no." He is clearly unnerved still and odds are, just can't say it politely.
  559. [07:59] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 The fact that Sagittis is still /reeling/ from his addiction is not helping matters much... fucking what was she doing?! Giving away their precious secrets...
  560. [07:59] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Oh and Sour_Grape really wishes she had a mint-al. You know you want it filly.
  561. 06[08:00] * +Sour_Grape really does, but she needs some time alone from the group to go sniff some out...
  562. [08:01] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 But!... Mint-als!...
  563. 06[08:01] * +Sour_Grape doesn't have any mint-als... well she could steal them back from dust... No! She'd be caught... but still.... she stares at Dust_Off's saddlebags, having memorized which part she put the mint-als in
  564. [08:02] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Ammy shifts about as she waits in utter silence.
  565. [08:03] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Roy Calbeck is standing about, doing his thang.
  566. 06[08:03] * +Dust_Off unrolls the map and weighs down the edges with bottle caps. "We found the NPL camp about...here." She points to the spot on the map., "Seven legionnaires and a decanus. We wiped them out, left the place standing. They'll send somebody to look, probably then recon in force." She points towards the ruins, "And I spotted Bloodwings here, luckily before they saw me."
  567. 03[08:04] * Waak is now known as Waak_AFK
  568. [08:04] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Icey steps forward and looks at the marked locations nodding and speaking, "Interesting... That's so close to the Pegasi-Tail mountains... the encampment..." raising an eyebrow in sheer curiousity and even slight disbelief she looks at Dust_Off and asks, "Bloodwings? Here?"
  569. 06[08:06] * +Dust_Off nods, "Saw one hanging in a tree easy as you please at the edge of the ruins. Can't imagine what they're like deeper in."
  570. 06[08:07] * +Sagittis is having a silent, mildly irate, and if you can read lips, zebra conversation with himself.
  571. [08:09] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 The power armored mare looks... confused and very disturbed, as she responds, "That is... odd... There has never been a reporting of Bloodwings in the Mareizona... Thank you for informing us Ma'am." mulling on a thought she then smiles and says, "I have a proposition for your team."
  572. 06[08:10] * +Dust_Off looks VERY concerned at the information of sudden bloodwing appearance. "What is that, Senior Knight?"
  573. 06[08:11] * +Sagittis stops his mouthing suddenly and slowly looks over to Dust_Off.
  574. [08:12] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Icey responds, "If you were to investigate and clear this nest, you would gain considerable favor amongst our order, that I can garuntee. It would stand to increaase your chances in being accepted considerably. Also..." she smiles wider with a sing-song tone to her voice, "Any technology you happen to 'discover' that we normally confiscate /could/ be allowed to remain in your possession." the mare then winks.
  575. [08:12] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 the mare then winks..
  576. 06[08:13] * +Sour_Grape waits to see if there is compensation above the stuff they were going to keep anyway
  577. [08:14] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Ammy for once looks fairly unsettled by the proposition. Roy raises an eyebrow and replies, "Discover?"
  578. 06[08:14] * +Dust_Off whistles and looks at her company, "Murtaugh, I was afraid of that..." She looks at them, "I'd except anything straight on but bloodwings. What do you all think?"
  579. 06[08:15] * +SlagHeap "I think a flamethrower would be fun with Bloodwings. But the fact that they're Bloodwings in general makes me think "Fuuuuuck that." "
  580. 06[08:15] * +Sour_Grape "Now I'm all for helping." Liar. "But askin' us ta fight bloodwings, and the only compensation is that we /might/ find something we can keep..." she shakes her head. "Just not worth it. We could die, and I'm not sure this is worth dying over."
  581. 06[08:16] * +SlagHeap nods at the others. "But its not up to me."
  582. [08:17] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Roy leans down to Sour_Grape and whispers, "I think she's sayin, that she'd give us something without actually saying she'd do it."
  583. 06[08:17] * +Sagittis clutches his missle launcher. "I think we are in it deep with enough wasioaminika mwanaharamu as it is."
  584. [08:17] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Ammy looks very unsettled and responds, "My idea of a vacation, did not include suicide personally."
  585. 06[08:17] * +Sour_Grape blinks and looks at roy, "Oh... but... how much?" She looks at Ammy, "the fuck is a vacation and why are you a pussy?"
  586. [08:18] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Plus Sagittis would need plenty of rainboom to take on something as dangerous as bloodwings.
  587. [08:19] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Ammy scoffs and responds to Sour_Grape, "Not that you respect my word, but they are quite dangerous. They kill in seconds. Just ask Dust_Off there, surely you see the same concern in her eyes, that you see in mine."
  588. 06[08:20] * +Sour_Grape "Know what else kills in seconds. Bullets. We sure face a lot of those. I say if the price is right, we do it... if only I knew what the price was..."
  589. 03[08:23] * Waak_AFK is now known as Waak
  590. [08:23] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 As Sagittis clutches on to his precious missile launcher, he spots from the corner of his eye one of those robed pony rangers at the worktable with a power helmet... was he... was he looking at the zebra colt?.... Bless his fluffy hide... the bastard was! He thought he was being subtle about it, by looking out of the corner of his eye... but he was eyeing the colt!... Why though?
  591. 06[08:24] * +SlagHeap lets the smart ponies do the talking now.
  592. [08:24] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Roy looks around and whispers, "Knowing these guys, something probably good... then again... they might just give us a pat on the back and a toaster." the handsome stallion just gives a silly smile.
  593. [08:25] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Ammy sighs and shakes her head, refusing to speak any further... had to keep up that mysterious persona afterall.
  594. 06[08:26] * +SlagHeap thinks. Mmmm... tooaaast.
  595. 06[08:27] * +Sagittis is confused, angry, exhausted, under the impression that Dust_Off has gone batshit bonkers for even thinking of working with rangers beyond what was needed for the job and now he was likely getting all hormonal. Fuck my life and the couch I charged in on.
  596. [08:27] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 But why is that ranger bastard staring at you Sagittis?!
  597. 06[08:28] * +Sour_Grape thinks that getting info on the inner working of the Steel Rangers would be great for his clan, or whatever.
  598. 06[08:28] * +SlagHeap thinks charging in on a couch is plain weird.
  599. 06[08:28] * +Dust_Off looks at the others and then Icey, "We do have a current assignment to complete. We'll think it over. If we can think up a way we can survive, we'll take it up."
  600. [08:29] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Icey nods and smiles saying, "Of course, just like joining us, I will not rush your decision. We will maintain our vigil regardless. Oh!... you wanted the data on your holodisc. Are you ready to listen?"
  601. 06[08:30] * +SlagHeap shifts his shoulders, the hooflocker starting to get uncomfy.
  602. 03[08:31] * kashin ([email protected]) has joined #FalloutEquestriaPNP
  603. 02[08:31] * +Sagittis ([email protected]) Quit (Connection closed)
  604. 03[08:31] * SilentBrony|GM sets mode: +v kashin
  605. 06[08:32] * +kashin grits his teeth and stairs backat the scribe a moment before turing back to Dust_Off. "So, are they going to get us the info on the data disk or no?"
  606. 06[08:33] * +Sour_Grape "She just said she was going to..."
  607. 03[08:34] * kashin is now known as Sagittis
  608. [08:35] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 That scribe... he just kept staring at Sagittis.... staring and staring... the bastard didn't even blink! What the fuck was he staring at Sagittis for?!
  609. 06[08:36] * +Sagittis "Then what are we talking about blood wings for? Lets hurry this up. I don't like how that one is looking at me."
  610. [08:40] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Roy blinks and spots Sagittis just looking at somewhere with a fairly jittery, teeth-chattering, crazed expression. Following his gaze, he spots a scribe just working on a power helmet, his focus completely on the armor piece. What the...? Blinking, Roy looks down to Sagittis and whispers, "Uhh... something the matter bud?"
  611. [08:41] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 That scribe... was totally still eyeing Sagittis.... weird like... clearly up to no good.... fucking Ranger.... Sagittis just KNOWS he's plotting something.... WHY WON'T THAT RANGER BLINK HIS EYES?!
  612. 06[08:42] * +Sagittis deadpans at Roy. "It is faster to list what is right with this. Stop farting around and lets go already."
  613. [08:43] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Icey clears her throat trying to gain the attention of Dust_Off, as she speaks, "Where you ready to see what's on the holodisc ma'am?"
  614. 06[08:45] * +Sagittis "Finaly."
  615. 06[08:46] * +Sagittis blinks and reaches nto his bag, feeling for a very special bit of hardwear he knows these bastards would want to get their pony hooves on.
  616. [08:50] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 The group finds themselves at a crucial moment, in the confines of the Steel Ranger controlled outpost known as 'Shining Armor Post'. What is on that holodisc? Will they join the Steel Ranger's cause? Or will they simply gain favor for their own benefit? Or will they even bother to help them at all? What is to become of Sagittis in his chem fueled state?
  617. [08:51] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Find out the answers to the questions and more on the next session of Star Group, Fallout Equestria!
