FoE PNP Destiny Group Session 12

[17:05] <GM||Chrysalis> *** PnP Destiny Group: Session 12 Start ***
[17:05] <GM||Chrysalis> It's been a day since the team's triumphant return to Destiny, narrowly escaping the vicious master of the desert planet. Swept is currently recovering in Medical, while the rest of the party have been checked over and cleared to return to their quarters.
[17:06] <Swoop> "SWEPT!!!!"
[17:06] * Swept_Wing groans.
[17:06] * Chameleon is anywhere but her quarters, she's in the bar! maybe. who knows?! It's a mystery!
[17:07] * Swept_Wing is lying in one of the beds, bandages wrapped around his chest.
[17:07] * Swoop is currently storming into medical looking for her brother.
[17:08] <GM||Chrysalis> A zebra stallion looking over some readouts on a nearby machine turns to Swoop, "Please, keep your voice down in Medical, ma'am."
[17:09] <Swoop> "Not till I find my brother... and kill him. THEN I'll be quiet."
[17:10] * Swept_Wing waves a hoof. "Over here."
[17:11] * Swoop glares. "You." She gallopes up to him. "What did mom tell you when we left Equis?"
[17:11] * Astera is hanging out at observation deck right outside of her quarters. Sitting down she is watching the stars.
[17:12] * Swept_Wing groans. "Not to run off without my sister, and get hurt."
[17:13] <Swoop> "And what did you do while I was sick?"
[17:13] * Swept_Wing chuckles. "I went and fought a giant monster, and broke my ribs."
[17:14] <GM||Chrysalis> The zebra just shakes his head and goes back to his work at the machine. From the observation deck, Astera has the usual lovely view of the stars as Destiny travels through FLT towards who-knows-where.
[17:14] <Swoop> "YOU GOT HURT! This is exactly the OPPOSITE of what you were supposed to do!"
[17:14] <Swept_Wing> "I've been worse."
[17:14] * Clara is hanging out in medical with all the other ponies, being un-useful. Maybe she can be moral support.
[17:15] * Astera can't really get over the beuty of space travel in only a few days, marveling in the sight she stretches slightly.
[17:15] * Chameleon finishes off her mug of beer and spins around on her stool and scampers off to her room, swaying from side to side. Mare tipsy.
[17:16] <GM||Chrysalis> The barkeeper waves a hoof cheerful to Chameleon, "Remember to keep your safeties on, dear!"
[17:17] * Swoop narrows her eyes, and suddenly bonks Swept on the head. Hard. "Not the point, featherbrain!"
[17:17] <Chameleon> "Kay~" She hops and tries walking backwards and waving goodbye but promptly topples back on her plot
[17:18] * Swept_Wing rubs his head with a hoof. "Owww." He grumbles.
[17:18] <GM||Chrysalis> The barkeeper gasps a little, "Oh dear, are you okay, soldier?"
[17:19] * Chameleon giggles and nodnods "Yep~"
[17:19] * Chameleon gets back to her hooves and continues back on her way to her room
[17:19] <GM||Chrysalis> A mare's voice very suddenly sounds off behind Astera, "Enjoying the view, Countess?"
[17:20] <Swoop> "No grumbling! Next time i hear you getting hurt without me, you'll get REALLY hurt." She then turns and trots out of the medical bay, feathers ruffled in annoyance.
[17:22] * Astera jumps slightly and stands, turning around to find the source of the voice. "Ah! Um, yes.. Its really beutiful."
[17:22] * Chameleon makes the remarkedly short journey (Of like 20 meters) from the bar to her room and gathers her rifle, which she put in a little bag since it fell apart and would be really really really hard to cary around, and heads off to the manufactorium
[17:24] * Clara looks to Swept_Wing, with a frown. "Are you okay? I wish I could have done something more..."
[17:25] * Swoop trots back into her room, cranks up the music and buries her head in her pillow.
[17:25] * Swept_Wing sighs. "I'm fine, but something's bothering Swoop."
[17:26] <GM||Chrysalis> Standing behind Astera is a very slight zebra mare. Her mane is slicked back, and silver rings adorn her ears and neck, "Oh, I do apologize if I startled you, Countess. I just wanted to see how you were doing after everything..."
[17:29] * Astera waves a hoof slightly. "Its.." She sighs, smiles slightly." Its fine, heh, just call me Astera, please." She says with a bowing nod kind of gesture.
[17:30] <GM||Chrysalis> When Cammy arrives in the Manufactorum, the room is incredibly cold, almost near freezing. She can spot two earth ponies wailing away at a pillar of ice with large hammers.
[17:30] * Chameleon blinky-blinks. "wat"
[17:31] * Chameleon scampers over to the only two ponies here
[17:34] <GM||Chrysalis> The zebra smiles, and returns the bow, "Astera... My name's Kaifa. Doctor Kaifa. So tell me... your version of what happened on the planet?"
[17:35] * Clara isn't really sure what else to say. She feels partly responsible for Swept_Wing... but she can't really do more to help.
[17:35] <GM||Chrysalis> The two ponies wailing on the ice don't seem to notice Cammy, as they're quite caught up in what they're doing, laughing as chunks and ice-dust go flying everywhere.
[17:35] <Swept_Wing> "I probably should go talk to her later, after she calms down."
[17:36] <Chameleon> "Whatcha doooooooooooooin?~" she giggles and hiccups, looking up at the two
[17:38] * Chameleon giggles, looking at the statue "It'sa penis!" She throws her forehooves into the air "I guessed it! Does Cammy get prize?"
[17:40] * Astera sighs and turns towards the window again, sitting down again. Watching the stars for a moment. "Im not sure myself really, the planet itself was, alive.. A entity of some sort. A being that wanted to test our strenght..."
[17:40] <GM||Chrysalis> The stallion of the pair is the first to stop, letting his hammer drop to the deck. He grins wide laughing even more as the mare blushes hotly, "Yeah, you got it! If you can't have fun while you're working, why bother right? Is there something we can help you with?"
[17:41] * Chameleon wiggles and sets the little bag she's carrying on the ground and opens it, revealing her gun that seems as though every part decided to abandon ship. it's in pieces! "Muh gun sploded!"
[17:42] * Chameleon throws her forelegs apart and makes a "PSCKEEEEW" explodey noise
[17:43] <GM||Chrysalis> Kaifa hmms quitely as she trots up next to Astera, looking down at her, "A living planet... Your team's report said there were 'more' correct?"
[17:46] * Clara sighs, and says, "Well... if you need any help for anything at all... I am usually in the garden or my room when not working." She waves Swept_Wing goodbye and heads off to her room, to briefly check up on her little larva, before heading off to the garden.
[17:47] <GM||Chrysalis> The stallion trots closer to Chameleon, appraising the gun pieces, "Exploded huh? That's bad, really bad. You want me to take a look at it for you?" Were Cammy sober enough, she might actually notice his cutie mark as being a revolver's cylinder cross-section.
[17:47] * Astera glances at Kaifa and nods slowly. "Something like that yes, It even spoke to us, testing our strenght by sending out a giant statue like creature for us to fight. We managed to defeat it.. But.. Im sure that we will find this entity again, it wanted something more then just test our abilities.. I just dont know what."
[17:47] * Swept_Wing nods, and then takes a nap.
[17:48] * Chameleon flank gazes regardless of sobriety! whether or not she's staring at a cutie mark is aside from the point "Cammy would like that very much! Cammy likes that gun!"
[17:53] <GM||Chrysalis> The stallion nods with a grin, "I'll be happy to take a look at it then. May take a little time though, with how many pieces it's in. I'll let you know as soon as I can. Miss Shiney and I still have to finish this first."
[17:55] <Chameleon> "Okie dokie! Can Cammy watch?"
[17:55] <GM||Chrysalis> Kaifa leans in a little closer to Astera, talking very softly, "Something needs to be done about this... I think I can trust you... so I'll be in touch..."
[17:55] * Chameleon <Insert joke about Cammy liking the cock.>
[17:57] * Astera looks curiously at Kaifa for a moment before nodding slowly. "Okay.."
[17:58] <GM||Chrysalis> The stallion laughs again, joined by the mare, who is still blushing. But they both nods happily, "Sure! Watch for as long as you're not bored~" He smiles and picks his hammer back up, returning to beating away at the ice phallus with his partner.
[18:03] * Chameleon giggles and watches
[18:03] * Swept_Wing is now known as TicTac|AFK
[18:03] * TicTac|AFK is now away - Reason : BAAAAAAND!
[18:06] <GM||Chrysalis> When Clara reaches the Garden, she notices that the lead counselor is actually there himself, talking to a pair of cream colored ponies at the base of the main statue.
[18:07] * Clara is a little surprised. She heads over to see what they're talking about.
[18:07] <GM||Chrysalis> Kaifa pulls back slowly, a small smile on her face, "Well then, enjoy your morning, Astera. I'll see you around." She waits for your acknowledgement, then trots silently away.
[18:09] * Chameleon watches for a little while, her cheeks red, though whether she's blushing, it's just because she's drunk, or because it's cold it's uncertain. she wanders off after a while though
[18:09] * Astera sighs as Kaifa leaves, looking out at the stars yet again. "What are you.." She mumbles to herself.
[18:12] <GM||Chrysalis> The head counselor, a striking black unicorn with a white mane is talking very softly, and even from this distance you can hear the comfort in his voice, "... and there were rivers of fudge, thick enough to walk on."
[18:13] * Swoop eventually gets bored of her room and wanders out to the observation deck.
[18:17] * Chameleon just wanders the halls
[18:19] * Clara is just confused. That's... an odd thing to be talking about. Maybe they're discussing dreams?
[18:23] <GM||Chrysalis> The unicorn keeps talking for some time, apparently about a planet made entirely of chocolate. The two mares he's talking to are cuddled together, looking like they're about to fall asleep. When they eventually do, he floats a blanket from his saddlepack and drapes it gently over them, getting carefully and quietly to his hooves and stretching a little.
[18:32] * Swoop notices Astera sitting there and trots over. "Hi."
[18:35] * Astera jumps slightly again, glancing over  her shoulder. "Oh, hi Swoop. How are you feeling?"
[18:35] * Chameleon scampers around the ship. She's made a game out of only stepping on every other panel so she's kind of hopping around. she's also fallout over and giggling quite frequently
[18:35] * Clara decides to walk over and greet the head councellor. "Hello... I am surprised to see ponies here in the garden. It is usually almost empty."
[18:35] * Swoop sits down. "Better. Not as icky. Also angry..."
[18:36] <Chameleon> falling*
[18:37] <GM||Chrysalis> Hopping her way around the ship, Chameleon eventually winds up in one of the ship's bathrooms. The way steam is billowing out the door, some ponies must be in using the showers.
[18:38] * Chameleon giggles and pokes her head in
[18:38] * Astera nods a little. "Angry huh, I guess I can understand that."
[18:39] <GM||Chrysalis> Priest smiles to Clara, speaking softly, "Oh, is it? I guess ponies are usually just so busy on this ship, aren't they. These two wanted a nice nap under the stars though, I didn't think it would hurt."
[18:40] * Swoop looks at the Alicrn. "Did your only brother get his flank kicked and sent to the med bay?"
[18:41] * Clara nods. "It is a shame... the garden is very beautiful. It is my favorite place on the ship..."
[18:45] * Astera sighs. "No, of course not and Im very sorry for what happened... I wish I could have seen it comming, but I didnt. Perhaps I could have raised a barrier around him, but I doubt it would have mattered."
[18:46] <GM||Chrysalis> The unicorn nods slowly, pointing a hoof to lead Clara to a different part of the garden, "It is quite a shame." He pauses, waiting to walk quietly for a little ways, "So how have you been doing, Clara?"
[18:47] <Swoop> "It's not your fault. I don't blame you. Really it's nopony's fault. I'm just upset that it happened."
[18:48] * Clara frowns. "I have been feeling that there is not enough that I can do to help... Ponies get hurt, and I cannot defend them... and I cannot heal them..."
[18:51] * Astera nods slightly, still watching the stars. "Im glad you are able to see it that way, quickly jumping to conclusions in this situation would be really easy to do. Ah.. I hope  he gets a quick recovery, I really do." She smiles sadly and glances over at Swoop. Shaking her head a little she extends her wings and stretches her neck. "You did hear about the planet entity, yes?"
[18:51] <GM||Chrysalis> Chameleon finds a small group of ponies showering together, talking excitedly. From the fresh look, they're most likely another team of cadets.
[18:53] * Swoop shakes her head. "I was a bit busy being angry at Swept to read the entire report."
[18:53] <GM||Chrysalis> Priest smiles again, stopping Clara and giving her a very gentle nuzzle, "Everypony can help in their own way. You just need to find what it is you can do. You're on this ship for a reason, aren't you?"
[18:53] * Chameleon blinks and shrugs. she chould use a shower. And she's already come in. why the hell not? And maybe it will makee things stop spinning. She scampers the rest of the way in and finds a free showerhead to use
[18:54] * Chameleon plus pony watching is fun. pony watching in the shower is even more fun.
[18:58] * Clara gives a sigh and a nod. "I just cannot help feeling this way."
[18:58] <GM||Chrysalis> The ponies in the shower are having a great deal of fun making sure they're all nice and clean. There's plenty of free showerheads and soap, and the water is nice and warm from the tap.
[18:59] * Chameleon wiggles happily and starts scrubbying herself clean, listening in on the conversation around her for shits and giggles
[19:01] <GM||Chrysalis> Right now they're talking about the last planet they went to. Apparently the natives wanted them to perform a ritual. A very detailed... personal... ritual. Which they all thoroughly enjoyed.
[19:01] * Astera waves a hoof a little. "Well..  To summarize it really quickly, the planet itself tested our combat abilities by sending out one of its guardians against us.. Or, atleast I think it was the planet, either that or some sort of higher power.. " She sighs as she looks at the stars, in a lower voice she continues. "I have this dread feeling that we will met it again in the future.. It.. wanted something."
[19:04] * Chameleon wants to visit this planet! She's also very very drunk and should not be making decisions like that.
[19:04] <Swoop> "Something like... what?"
[19:04] <GM||Chrysalis> Priest puts a hoof gently on Clara's shoulder, "Well, if you're really worried about your team, then maybe you need to sit down and really talk with each of them. It just so happens, I /need/ you to talk to them. Command would like evaluations done on your team, to see how they're coping with the mission so far."
[19:06] * Clara nods. "Alright... I will do that then." She pauses a moment. "Thank you."
[19:08] <GM||Chrysalis> Priest smiles again, "Good. You're welcome, Clara. You can pick up the forms for it in the office, once you're ready."
[19:11] * Astera shrugs slightly and sighs again. "I dont know, I can't get rid of the feeling though." She glances at Swoop again. "I think we wakened something by visiting that planet, it spoke  of other worlds too, worlds under its care..." She waves a hoof towards the stars. "Its out there somewhere.. Waiting for us."
[19:12] * Clara says her goodbyes, and heads toward the office to pick up the forms.
[19:12] * Swoop looks out the window. "I wonder what else is out there..."
[19:17] <Astera> "Yeah... Me too."
[19:19] * Chameleon finishes up her shower and towels herself off lazily before wandering back off; slightly less tipsy than before, but still swaying as she prances around
[19:20] * Swoop sighs. "So what else have I missed due to having contracted the plague?"
[19:22] * Astera waves a hoof again. "Oh, only waking up in a empty ship and dancing with sentinent alien shadow creatures.." She says with a slight smirk on her face. "You really do choose the worst time to get sick on you know."
[19:23] * Swoop smiles. "What can I say. I've got a great sense of timing."
[19:24] <GM||Chrysalis> Just as Swoop finishes her sentence, the ship drops out of FTL.
[19:24] <Swoop> "Never get tired of watching that."
[19:25] * Chameleon faceplants
[19:25] * Astera blinks, looking at Swoop and then out the window again. "That was some timing alright."
[19:25] <Swoop> "Told you."
[19:27] * Chameleon is probably presenting herself to everypony in the hallway currently
[19:28] <GM||Chrysalis> The calm mare's voice comes over the ship's intercom, as each of your pipbucks give a gentle ping from the tag being loaded, "Advance Team One, please report to the Gate Room. Advance Team One, to the Gate Room."
[19:29] * Chameleon eeps and scampers off to get her gear
[19:29] * Swoop stands and stretches. "Welp. Time to go to work." She trots off to collect her gear.
[19:29] * Astera nods. "See you at the gate." She stands, takes one last glance out the window before gathering her things from her room and leaves for the gate.
[19:33] * Clara finishes up gathering the forms from the office. She stores them away and rushes off to the gate room.
[19:35] * Astera has her new security barding equiped, plasma pistol holstered to one of her rearlegs, her saddlebags over her back and strides into the gateroom looking confident. "Alright.. Another day, another planet.." She murmurs, stretching her wings.
[19:35] * Swoop dons her stuff, plugs in her headphones and makes for the gate, Daft Pony in her ears.
[19:37] <GM||Chrysalis> Commander Daylight is pacing slowly in front of the open gate, the room filled with its shimmering blue light.
[19:38] * Chameleon scampers into the gate room, barding loose where she didn't tighten straps well enough, and clearly tipsy, if the blush on her face is any indication. unfortunately, she doesn't have her rifle. She just has a massive sword perched on her back and held on by a bit of rope
[19:38] * Swoop trots in and salutes the commander. "Moring, sir. Or is it afternoon? I been sick a while."
[19:40] * Chameleon hiccups
[19:41] <GM||Chrysalis> Daylight smiles softly, "Morning. Hopefully this mission is going to be a nice easy one..."
[19:42] * Swoop smirks but holde her tongue.
[19:42] <Chameleon> "Tha's what you said las' time. Cammy's gun sploded last time! "Cammy gots a cool sword though!" She wiggles and nearly overbalances because of the weight of the sword. Then she just sits down and hiccups again
[19:44] * Astera glances at Chameleon. "Are you sure you are able to do this right now, Cammy?"
[19:44] * Swoop leans toward Astera. "Is she ok?"
[19:45] * Astera leans towards Swoop. "Im not sure, I think she might be drunk."
[19:46] * Clara gives Cammy a worried glance
[19:46] * Chameleon grins "Cammy's fine!"
[19:46] <GM||Chrysalis> Daylight shakes her head a little and resumes pacing, "Well... we need to restock Destiny's water supply, and this planet is a good opportunity for it. You'll be going through the gate with a mobile platform for retrieval. This planet has a very low temperature though, so you'll need environmental suits."
[19:47] <Chameleon> (Actually change that to 'Cammy's fine, pretty mare!' She is tipsy after all)
[19:47] * Chameleon frowns "Cammy doesn't have envern...inven...Cammy doesn't have a suit!"
[19:48] <Swoop> "How much will we be collecting sir?"
[19:52] * Astera pokes Chameleon lightly with a hoof. "Cammy.. Are you sure you're fine? You're acting a little strange.. "
[19:52] <GM||Chrysalis> A roughly striped red and brown pony comes trotting in from behind the gate, pulling along a large flatbed cart in his telekinesis. Daylight nods to it, "We'll need you to bring back as much as you can, maybe five trips, filling up this platform with as much ice as you can. And don't worry, there's environmental suits in the lockerroom just next to the Armory, please just make sure they fit as well as possible."
[19:53] * Chameleon giggles and sways as Astera pokes her, making her wrap a leg around the alicorn's hoof for balance "Cammy just had a few drinks." She pouts
[19:53] <Swoop> "Five trips then. Got it sir."
[19:56] * Astera steadies herself, the changeling was stronger then she looked. "Ah, Daylight, sir. Do you recon this is going to be an issue?" She says with a glance towards Chameleon.
[19:57] * Chameleon blinks
[19:58] * Clara is relieved. Collecting ice should be simple. Not dangerous at all!
[19:59] <GM||Chrysalis> Daylight smiles softly, "Well she is a soldier, Countess, I'm sure she can handle herself. Just make sure her helmet is locked on... Anyways, you should go get suited up. We'll be providing equipment for extracting the ice, it's in the main compartment on the cart."
[20:00] * Chameleon salues. and by that I mean smacks herself in the forehead "Kaaaaaaay~"
[20:01] <Chameleon> salutes*
[20:02] * Swoop salutes as well, then heads toward the armory.
[20:02] * Astera sighs. "Oh, yes, perfectly capable, sir. Im sure. Lets get suited.." She starts to head for the armory.
[20:02] * Chameleon prances out after Astera
[20:07] <GM||Chrysalis> Just down the hall to the rear of the gate, the team finds the locker supply room fairly easily. There are plenty of environmental suits of various sizes, with very plush looking interiors. It looks like they should still be able to fit over your current garments.
[20:08] * Swoop paruses the suits. "They never have one of these in topaz. I look good in topaz."
[20:08] * Chameleon sets about trying to tighten her armor so it fits right first. Though still seems to be having some issues with it :I
[20:10] * Swoop dons a suit. "Hope these things are cleaned after use. I really don't want to get sick again."
[20:11] * Clara decides to be a unicorn for this mission. So she takes an appropriate suit and goes to find someplace private to... change.
[20:11] * SpencerDespenser|GM ([email protected]) has joined #FruityRumpusAssholeFactory
[20:11] * ChanServ sets mode +qo SpencerDespenser|GM SpencerDespenser|GM for #FruityRumpusAssholeFactory
[20:11] * Chameleon decides to be cammy for this mission! yay!
[20:12] * Grim ([email protected]) has joined #FruityRumpusAssholeFactory
[20:12] * Astera removes all of her gear before wiggling into the enviormental suit, then equips the barding and everything else ontop of the suit. She looks at the helmet  with a raised eyebrow, muttering.. "Really?"
[20:14] * Swoop eyes Astera's helm. "well damn..."
[20:14] * Grim is now known as Son0fgrim
[20:14] * Chameleon wiggles into a suit that can fit her barding inside of it. because taking it off and putting it back on outside of the environmental suit would require help. :I
[20:15] * SpencerDespenser|GM is now known as Snow_Cone
[20:16] * Astera has ze magics to help her with that. She rolls her eyes and puts the helmet on her back for now, not going to ware that for a second longer then needed. "Well.. Im good to go."
[20:17] * Swoop grins and dons her helm, checking to see that her wings have full mobility, then heads back to the gate."
[20:17] * Chameleon passes out while she's changing and gets dragged away to her room by some of the crewmembers. Spades is brought in in her place. At least he isn't drunk.
[20:17] * Chameleon is now known as Spades_Slick
[20:18] * Clara changes into her unicorn form and dons the environmental suit in a private place. She would feel uncomfortable having ponies see her change.
[20:19] * Snow_Cone barges into the prep room and grins. "It's a good day to be alive, maggots!" She says, trotting to the piles of evironmental suits. Her good mood vanishes. "The hell are these for?"
[20:20] * Spades_Slick trots in after her like a shadow. He's black enough to be one anyways "Environmental suits, Snow. Typically used for Low-temperature planets."
[20:21] * Astera moves past Snow_Cone and Spades_Slick on the way back to the gate room. "We're collecting ice today."
[20:22] * Son0fgrim ([email protected]) has left #FruityRumpusAssholeFactory ("")
[20:22] * Snow_Cone scrunches her face. "Ice? Suits? You've got to be kidding! Why would they send... whatever. Just don't expect me to wear that."
[20:23] * Spades_Slick boops Snow_Cone on the head with his chin "Just put it on." he trots over to the pile and takes of his trench coat and hat. He actually does have zebra markings! they're just barely a shade lighter than the rest of his coat and near impossible to see.
[20:23] <Spades_Slick> "I'll do it if you do it."
[20:24] <Swoop> "You'll both do it, or you're stayin behind. I'm not in the mood to debate."
[20:24] * Snow_Cone looks at Swoop and frowns. "Stupid... clothes... clothes are for weak..." She grumbles, slipping into the suit with some trouble.
[20:24] * Clara returns to the room, all suited up. She kinda looks adorable.
[20:25] * Spades_Slick cocks an eyebrow at Swoop and pulls one of the suits on himself. He then proceeds to put on the trench coat again and perch his hat on top of his helmet. If he's going to do this he's going to do it with style.
[20:26] * Swoop trots out toward the gate. "Where's the sled?"
[20:27] * Snow_Cone keeps her beret inside the suit. It's a little squashed, but it's not leaving her head. No sir.
[20:27] * TicTac|AFK is now known as Swept_Wing
[20:27] * Swept_Wing is no longer away - Gone for 2 hrs 24 mins 9 secs
[20:28] * Spades_Slick can't have rumpled headgear. He'd have to burn his hat. It's a nice hat.
[20:28] <GM||Chrysalis> Daylight is waiting by the cart, she nods to each of you as you return, "Not bad... those suits always made me look terrible. The Lieutenant spotted some cliffs to the west, that would be a good place to start looking, I think."
[20:28] * Spades_Slick likes this hat...
[20:28] * Snow_Cone salutes towards Daylight. "Sounds like a plan, sir!"
[20:29] <Swoop> "Anything else we should know sir?"
[20:29] <GM||Chrysalis> Daylight smiles just a little, "If you hear something that'
[20:29] <GM||Chrysalis> somehting that's 'just the wind', run like hell."
[20:30] * Snow_Cone frowns. "Mind being a little less cryptic, sir?"
[20:30] * Astera deadpans. "Really?"
[20:30] <GM||Chrysalis> The Commander waves a hoof, "It's in all the movies, you know? Somepony always hears something and thinks its just the wind, then they get attacked by a horrible monster."
[20:31] <Spades_Slick> "Are you still in the habit of calling everything a 'easy mission' then telling the party things like that, sir? It's unbecoming."
[20:31] * Swept_Wing suddenly appears, dressed, still wearing his Aviators on the inside of his suit. He grunts. "I'm here."
[20:31] * Snow_Cone mutters something about "maggots" and "brass." "Unbelievable..."
[20:31] <Swoop> "... no disrespect to the commander, but those movies really suck. We ready?"
[20:31] * Clara didn't need to hear that. Now she's all nervous and worried.
[20:32] <Swoop> "About time, bro. You up for this?"
[20:32] * Astera equips her helmet. "Alright, lets get this over with.."
[20:32] * Swept_Wing nods. "Yeah, and we need to have a chat later Swoop."
[20:33] * Swoop says nothing, but heads into the gate.
[20:34] * Snow_Cone is now known as Snow_Cone_AutoPilot
[20:34] * Swept_Wing trots after her.
[20:34] * Spades_Slick heads through the gate with Snow_Cone
[20:35] * Astera sighs and enters the gate.
[20:37] * Clara follows the group into the gate, hoping that there really wasn't any danger.
[20:42] <GM||Chrysalis> After a short trip through the gate, the team emerges onto the planet, the gate dropping them out onto an icy plane. Astera and Swoop manage to keep on their hooves, but the rest of the team is sent sprawling to the ground. The air is cold enough you're able to feel the chill even through the environmental suits.
[20:42] * Swept_Wing sprawls. "Ow."
[20:43] * Swept_Wing immediately gets to his hooves, frowning. "I don't like ice."
[20:43] <Swoop> "Ice planet indeed... Let's move. Sooner we get the ice we need, sooner we can leave.:
[20:43] <Swoop> "
[20:44] * Astera helps Clara up with her magic as she trots back to the others. "Everypony okay?" She extents a hoof towards Snow_Cone.
[20:44] * Spades_Slick rights himself quickly and helps Snow_Cone up
[20:45] <GM||Chrysalis> Snow starts to build up a short distance from the gate, rising in drifts and obscuring the landscape. You can see the cliffs in the distance that Daylight had mentioned.
[20:45] * Swept_Wing nods, moving over to Swoop. "It doesn't help that there's no wing slots in these things either."
[20:46] * Astera leaves Snow_Cone to Spades and looks around instead. "Well.. Those are the cliffs I guess."
[20:46] * Swoop nods and grabs hold of the cart.
[20:49] * GM||Chrysalis is now known as GM||SantaChrysalis
[20:51] <GM||SantaChrysalis> The cart slides a bit on the ice, but it's easy enough to move. The air is fairly calm at the moment, and it appears to be daytime, but the sky is covered in a thick layer of clouds.'
[20:51] * Swept_Wing takes up a position off to the side, keeping an eye out for things as they started towards the cliffs.
[20:52] <Spades_Slick> "Why do we have to go somewhere to gather ice? Snow is frozen water." He glances at Snow_Cone "Well, /Snow/ is hot air, but the snow all around us is water."
[20:52] <Swoop> "Got me. This IS command we're talking about."
[20:53] * Swept_Wing chuckles. "That's right, but all seems calm at the moment, so let's get it done and back before any freaky shit happens."
[20:54] * Swoop starts towar the cliff.
[20:54] * Snow_Cone_AutoPilot is now known as Snow_Cone
[20:54] * Astera nods. "Because there most likely will be freaky shit happening, yes." She follows Swoop.
[20:55] * Snow_Cone glares at Slick. "Bluh bluh. Hot air can't punch through your ribcage..." she grumbles.
[20:55] <Swoop> "Lets face it: If there WASN'T freaky shit going to happen, command would've sent the B team."
[20:56] <Swept_Wing> "Indeed."
[20:56] <Swept_Wing> "Suckers have it easy."
[20:57] <Spades_Slick> "Well they say the quickest way to a stallion's heart is through his ribcage, Snow." He smirks "Aww, you really do care."
[20:59] * Clara decides look for a nice spot for excavating some ice (along with any other interesting stuff.)
[20:59] * Snow_Cone continues to glare, but says nothing.
[20:59] * Spades_Slick chuckles "Come on. We're getting left behind." He starts after the group
[21:00] * Snow_Cone gallops after them. "Right, let's show them how it's done."
[21:00] * Spades_Slick nods and gallops to keep pace with Snow
[21:04] * Snow_Cone eventually catches up with the group because she's fast and stuff.
[21:04] * Swept_Wing is humming this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gjASGHl4Q-k
[21:05] <GM||SantaChrysalis> Spades and Snow Cone catch up with the group as they're reaching the base of the cliffs. Spades is able to spot a patch of ice that looks particularly promising just a few yards away.
[21:05] * Spades_Slick taps Astera's side and points "Promising."
[21:07] * Astera nods. "Right, good spot, lets use this patch, no need to go any further unless we have to." Glancing at the cart. "I assume that command gave us things to cut the ice with?"
[21:08] * Snow_Cone cracks her neck and trots forward. "Tools? Please. Let me give it a shot."
[21:08] <Spades_Slick> "I'd offer to let you use a sword but your rough on your toys."
[21:09] * Swoop digs about the cart, looking for a drill.
[21:10] * Snow_Cone frowns. "I could use your spine. Does that sound fun?"
[21:10] <Spades_Slick> "I could use a massage. My lower back has just been positively killing me lately."
[21:11] <GM||SantaChrysalis> Inside the storage compartment on the cart, Swoop finds a Magic Gatling Laser, a pair of Magic Energy Lances, and a pair of Shovel Spears.
[21:12] <Swoop> "Ooo. Astera I think you get the Gatling laser."
[21:12] * Snow_Cone yawns a little and sizes up the ice sheet before her. "Unfortunately, tearing your spine out and beating you senseless with it probably won't do you any favors."
[21:14] <Spades_Slick> "I'm afraid not. And threatening your teammate of how long now isn't doing you any favors, either." he smirks.
[21:14] * Astera hovers the gatling laser up in her magic. "Oh.. Nice. Command has their moments  dont they.."
[21:14] * Clara suddenly realizes that she's not even qualified to operate the excavation equipment. She's probably cut somepony's hooves off.
[21:15] * Swoop hefts a Energy lance. "Too few and far between."
[21:16] * Snow_Cone shakes her head and lets the silly maggots with their silly weapons.
[21:16] <~Snow_Cone> +do silly things to the silly ice*
[21:17] * Swept_Wing takes up a position slightly away from the others as they get to work. "I'll keep watch while y'all work."
[21:19] * Swoop starts drilling.
[21:20] <Swoop> "Don't wander too far."
[21:20] * Astera picks a patch a good distance away from where Swoop is drilling and tests the gatling laser out, fireing a few shots before using it properly on the ice. "
[21:21] * Swept_Wing nods absentmindedly, stopping about 25 yards away from the others, his gaze sweeping over the area.
[21:21] <GM||SantaChrysalis> As Swept trots away from the team a cracking sound resonates through the ground just seconds before his forehooves plunge through it, leaving the pegasus stick halfway in a sinkhole.
[21:21] <Swept_Wing> "Shit!"
[21:22] <Swoop> "What did I JUST say???"
[21:22] * Swept_Wing grumbles. "Ahhh, shuddup."
[21:23] <Swoop> "i HEARD THAT!"
[21:23] * Spades_Slick looks over at Swept_Wing and starts to trot over to him, slowly.
[21:23] * Snow_Cone trots over to Swept about as quickly as Slick does. "Nopony move too much. These sink holes could be everywhere."
[21:24] <Spades_Slick> "Try not to move to much. There's no way to tell how far over the lip you are, and it wouldn't do to take a plunge in one of these suits."
[21:25] * Swept_Wing is pretty well stuck, not having use of his wings currently. "Could use some help getting up, thanks."
[21:26] * Clara turns toward the cracking noise, wide-eyed. This isn't good...
[21:26] * Swoop sighs. "Would one of you two help him out please? I'm kinda busy."
[21:26] * Snow_Cone looks to Slick. "I got this."
[21:26] * Astera turns around to see what all the commotion is about.. Suddenly very wary that she is shooting the ice with a laser. "Try to retrack your steps if you can.. The paths we have used already should be safe."
[21:27] * Spades_Slick stops edging closer and looks at Snow_Cone "Alright."
[21:27] * Snow_Cone slowly, carefully, moves closer to Swept and reaches out to grab his tail sock.
[21:30] * Swept_Wing grunts.
[21:31] * Spades_Slick lets out a breath he didn't realize he'd been holding as Snow_Cone pulls Swept out
[21:32] <Spades_Slick> get to Swept without falling in*
[21:32] <Spades_Slick> (brain derped)
[21:33] <GM||SantaChrysalis> With carefully applied strength, Snow Cone is able to pull Swept free of the hole without falling herself.
[21:34] * Spades_Slick sighs in relief "Good job Snow. Now be careful on the way back."
[21:34] <GM||SantaChrysalis> Carefully chipping away with her lance, Swoop is able to knock off a small slab of ice.
[21:34] * Swept_Wing grunts. "Thanks." He takes a step or five back, and resumes keeping watch.
[21:35] * Swoop grunts. "Shit. This is going to take forever."
[21:36] * Snow_Cone steps back as well. "You're quite welcome... rookie." She says in a hushed voice.
[21:36] <Astera> "Not if everypony chipped in. Spades, Snow?"
[21:38] * Swept_Wing snorts, shooting Snow_Cone a glare, before turning his attention back to the snow-covered ice fields.
[21:38] * Spades_Slick nods "Swept, just stick near the cart. there's no need to go all the way out here."
[21:38] * Spades_Slick heads back, grabbing a lance for himself (If there's any left)
[21:38] * Snow_Cone rolls her shoulders. "Sure, I'll give this hunk of ice a few jabs."
[21:39] * Swoop takes another jab. "Fuck you, ice!"
[21:40] <GM||SantaChrysalis> As Astera sweeps her gatling laser over the wall of ice, the blasts send chunks of it raining down, some larger than others.
[21:40] * Spades_Slick takes a second to look at the ice before jabbing into it with the lance
[21:40] * Clara nervously takes one of the lances and makes her own attempt to gather some ice with the others.
[21:42] <Swept_Wing> whlie we're pounding ice, imma go shower
[21:42] <Swept_Wing> [D:]
[21:42] * Snow_Cone rubs her right shoulder a little and throws a punch at the ice.
[21:43] * Astera puts the laser rifle over her back and starts to hover the ice chunks a few at the time over to the cart. The magic taking a toll on the alicorn she has started to work up quite a heavy breath.
[21:45] <Swoop> "'Oh look, ice planet. Let's send the A team down with a fork and spoon to bring back a few thousan pounds of it.' Yet another Comman idea."
[21:46] * Clara can barely even lift the heavy lance, much less make clean cuts. She keeps trying anyway.
[21:47] <GM||SantaChrysalis> Spades and Clara manage to knock loose more of the ice, adding to the growing pile on the ground. When Snow Cone lands her punch on a section of the ice, it doesn't slaugh off, but rather dents.
[21:47] * Snow_Cone frowns. "Ruddy ice... break like real... erm... ice..."
[21:48] * Swoop ([email protected]) Quit ( Quit: He who laughs last, thinks slowest )
[21:48] * Astera sighs. "Lets just do the job and be back before lunchtime shall we.." She says as she unleashes another volley of blasts at the wall.
[21:50] * Snow_Cone trots back to the cart, then. She plops down on her haunches and pulls out her 'Sacred Text'.
[21:52] * Spades_Slick takes a few more jabs at the ice
[21:52] <GM||SantaChrysalis> Astera's laser sweeps over the wall again. As part of her beams strike near where Snow had been, she notices they don't break off any ice either, but just leave the surface glowing hot.
[21:55] <GM||SantaChrysalis> Spades murders the ice, knocking loose a bunch of nice, fat slabs.
[21:56] * Astera uses the same procedure of filling the cart up, hovering chunks of ice in her telekinesis. "Think we have enough for one trip?"
[21:57] * Spades_Slick grins and takes those over to the cart. this should speed things up nicely.
[21:59] * Snow_Cone looks up from her book and eyes the slabs of ice. "Very nice."
[21:59] <GM||SantaChrysalis> Even with all the ice you've gathered so far, there still looks like plenty of room on the cart.
[22:00] <Spades_Slick> "Sometimes the right tools for the job /can/ be useful. For everything else I'll just throw you at it and let you destroy it." He pushes the ice into the cart
[22:01] * Snow_Cone smiles faintly and returns to reading.
[22:01] * Spades_Slick trots back to get back to work
[22:02] * Clara keeps cutting. She's not really collected much for herself...
[22:03] * Astera nods slowly "Thats right.. " She says absentmindly and curiously trots up to the ice that didnt melt, poking it with a hoof.
[22:07] <GM||SantaChrysalis> Spades is doing excellent work on the ice, and Clara is slowly chipping away. There ice that didn't melt seems to be a slightly different color than the ice next to it. You're pretty sure that it should have melted, ice melts.
[22:08] * Spades_Slick makes another trip back with his haul
[22:09] * Snow_Cone turns a page slowly. "This is boring..."
[22:09] * Astera stands back a little "Think I found something!" She calls out and shots the  area around the  nonmeltingicethingy.
[22:09] * Spades_Slick props his lance up and sits next to Snow "You're the one who isn't doing anything, Snowy."
[22:10] * Spades_Slick somehow snaps his hooves. Zony magic "There you go."
[22:11] * Snow_Cone sighs and turns a page. "It's not my fault that they sent me to a planet without anything to punch."
[22:12] * Spades_Slick waggles his hooves in Snow's face "Then go see what Astera found. Take your mind of it."
[22:14] <GM||SantaChrysalis> Astera's gatling rips into the ice as she blasts around the area that isn't melting. When she's done, there's a slab of wall nearly the size of a hallway.
[22:14] * Snow_Cone shrugs and closes her book. "Fine." She approaces Astera, examining the now exposed rock. "Huh. That's neat."
[22:14] <GM||SantaChrysalis> *Accented by the broken away ice.
[22:14] * Swept_Wing comes trotting over, carefully. "Huh, well, this is certainly interesting."
[22:14] * Astera nods and trots up to it again. "But what is it..?"
[22:15] * Clara keeps breaking ice! In 5 years, maybe she'll be done.
[22:16] * Snow_Cone trots closer to the wall. "Good question." She touches it with a hoof. "Stone?"
[22:17] * Astera eyes it up and down examine it closer, putting the laser on her back again. "Maybe."
[22:18] * Spades_Slick stands up and trots over to where everyone is gathering
[22:19] <GM||SantaChrysalis> The wall has every appearance of ice, aside from the difference in color, and a sizable dent left by a hoof.
[22:19] <Spades_Slick> "Looks to me like you punched something after all, Snowy."
[22:28] * Challenger ([email protected]) has joined #FruityRumpusAssholeFactory
[22:29] * Challenger is now known as Swoop
[22:33] * Astera rolls her eyes and sighs. "Standback everypony, Im going to try something." She steps back and readies the gatling laser once again.
[22:33] * Swoop hides behind the cart.
[22:34] * Swept_Wing backpedals.
[22:35] * Astera looks back at Swoop. "Funny..." As ponies get out of the way she unleashes yet another laser barrage at the wierd ice.
[22:35] <Swoop> "Nothin against you, Astera... Just prefer to be in cover when bad things happen."
[22:39] <GM||SantaChrysalis> As Astera's laser barrage punches into the wall, its surface swells like a balloon. With the last hit, it pops, disolving away to reveal a tunnel leading into darkness.
