  1. [2015-05-27 13:20:16] <Mare-Do-Well> 3Previously...
  2. [2015-05-27 13:20:29] <Mare-Do-Well> 3Mitzi looks curiously at the... "Stripey ponies?"
  3. [2015-05-27 13:20:38] <Mare-Do-Well> 3Get_Lost smiles. it's plenty of ponies that look friendly, for once! the mare looks in her bags in search for something while keeping an eye on the various new potential friends
  4. [2015-05-27 13:20:55] <Mare-Do-Well> 3Bookwright says, "I really don't know how I can approach them and use my telepathy spell in a nonthreatening fashion. Suggestions?"
  5. [2015-05-27 13:21:06] <Mare-Do-Well> 3Kid smiles and looks at Copycat. "So? What're they thinkin'?"
  6. [2015-05-27 13:21:20] <Mare-Do-Well> 3Noble_Heart waves a forehoof at the striped creatures. "Zebras, dear Mitzi. Though We admit that they are rare in Equestria, there are many who live upon the New Canterlot Republic's soil." She frowned and furrowed her brow. "We would be surprised if a telepathy spell would work. But We are not certain."
  7. [2015-05-27 13:21:40] <Mare-Do-Well> 3She tilted her head slightly to one side. "We may need to help."
  8. [2015-05-27 13:21:55] <Mare-Do-Well> 3CopyCat tilts her head. Zebras were pony shaped... yet she couldn't hear them. "I... I don't know. They look frightened but I can't sense anything from them."
  9. [2015-05-27 13:22:14] <Mare-Do-Well> 3One of the zebras waves tentatively back at Noble_Heart. Others crouch, as if prepared to run or fight.
  10. [2015-05-27 13:22:24] <Mare-Do-Well> 3...
  11. [2015-05-27 13:22:48] <Mare-Do-Well> 3"Lethal force hostility encountered. Security alert. Converge on this location."
  12. [2015-05-27 13:22:56] <Mare-Do-Well> 3Kid huffs, a feeling of dread coming in another wave, hooves getting shaky with the shock of an overactive adrenal system. "GET OUT OF THE HALLWAY!" She shouted, grabbing two bottles of radish-y death.
  13. [2015-05-27 13:23:02] <Mare-Do-Well> 3Pink-E growls. "Stop being a meanie!" and fires several beams of pink light at the patroller, joining in with the rain of fire from Bookwright and Shatara.
  14. [2015-05-27 13:23:11] <Mare-Do-Well> 3Bookwright 's eyes widen. He hides behind the wall.
  15. [2015-05-27 13:23:17] <Mare-Do-Well> 3CopyCat tries to get back through the doorway... but she (and her shield) doesn't fit! Panicking just a little, she tries to run farther down the hallway to avoid what's coming...
  16. [2015-05-27 13:23:22] <Mare-Do-Well> 3Shatara ducks back around the corner.
  17. [2015-05-27 13:23:31] <Mare-Do-Well> 3The black spritebot responds to the new level of threat. A purplish shield, reminiscent of a miniture alicorn shield, flickers into being around it. At the same time, CopyCat and Bookwright hear the elevator on the floor below activate. Shatara hears this as well, and also catches the faint sound of spider bots, probably those from the research maze.
  18. [2015-05-27 13:23:41] <Mare-Do-Well> 3Bookwright calls out "... The elevator! Kid, the elevator!"
  19. [2015-05-27 13:23:49] <Mare-Do-Well> 3CopyCat takes a peek at Kid's idea. "Security! Solaris agents are trying to steal Stable-Tec secrets and make an attempt on Our life!"
  20. [2015-05-27 13:23:58] <Mare-Do-Well> 3Bookwright curses and reloads Pew Pew.
  21. [2015-05-27 13:24:04] <Mare-Do-Well> 3Kid blinks. Really? We're going with that stupid plan? Alright!
  22. [2015-05-27 13:24:09] <Mare-Do-Well> 3Pink-E manages a bleep of disbelief. "You guys know you're not Solaris, right?"
  23. [2015-05-27 13:24:17] <Mare-Do-Well> 3Pink-E adds, "And that I'm not a security bot? And she isn't Luna?"
  24. [2015-05-27 13:24:23] <Mare-Do-Well> 3Kid just stares at Pink-E. Oncoming fire be damned. Is she at /all/ familiar with the concept of a bluff?
  25. [2015-05-27 13:24:29] <Mare-Do-Well> 3CopyCat plays the damsel in distress role like she was born to it. She holds her hoof to her forehead and swoons. "Oh no, those mean Solaris are here to carry Us away and lock us in a tower... or tie Us up in front of a train... or feed Us to a hungry dragon! Please help Us, oh big strong security bots!"
  26. [2015-05-27 13:24:37] <Mare-Do-Well> 3With a ding, the elevator doors open.
  27. [2015-05-27 13:24:48] <Mare-Do-Well> 3Mitzi frowns, she could have broken the elevator or something if she'd been a little quicker on the uptake
  28. [2015-05-27 13:24:54] <Mare-Do-Well> 3Noble_Heart steps up through the door at the top of the stairs, her shield glowing brightly to match the one around the security bot. "We have come to see the leader of this facility on behalf of Miss Applebloom. The arrival and implementation of the Paladin Maneframe to the Crystal Kingdom is of utmost importance."
  29. [2015-05-27 13:25:12] <Mare-Do-Well> 3Mitzi has no idea what the ponies are planning. She looks to the dark SPrite-bot's shield, then to her own claws, wondering if they were yet strong enough to cleave through.
  30. [2015-05-27 13:25:20] <Mare-Do-Well> 3Bookwright "I don't know about you Mitzi, but I was planning on shooting them until they stopped moving. Unless you have a better plan? Preferably that doesn't involve pretending to be a damsel in distress..."
  31. [2015-05-27 13:25:25] <Mare-Do-Well> 3Shatara fidgets nevously. His pistol seemed to be questionalbe against the robots, and the confined spaces weren't the best places to wave around a long rifle...
  32. [2015-05-27 13:25:31] <Mare-Do-Well> 3Mitzi nods, "Uh cud use Ur best skill." She smirks a bit, "Breakeen tings."
  33. [2015-05-27 13:25:33] <Mare-Do-Well> 3...
  34. [2015-05-27 13:26:20] <Mare-Do-Well> 3Warm Welcome Hostel. Back in the decade before the war, it was a small, shining beacon of warmth and friendship in the bitter cold of the Frozen North. Built next to a refueling station for trains, it served as a rest and refueling station for the engineers, conductors and passengers who traveled over Shattered Hoof Ridge.
  35. [2015-05-27 13:26:24] <Mare-Do-Well> 3Warm Welcome Hostel was the last chance for bed and breakfast... the last stop before the Sentinel at the Top of the World.
  36. [2015-05-27 13:26:30] <Mare-Do-Well> 3Now, fifty years after Sunshine & Rainbows, over four decades since the end of the Pegasus Civil War and the official collapse of the Enclave, Warm Welcome Hostel serves as a forward base for the last surviving city of the Enclave Loyalist Remnants -- city built within the last of the Enclave's formidable flying fortresses, a generations-grounded Thunderhead.
  37. [2015-05-27 13:26:35] <Mare-Do-Well> 3Captured by an Enclave patrol, a party of friends in service of Crimson's Caravans have been brought to the formerly enticing structure and brought before an Enclave Colonel...
  38. [2015-05-27 13:26:42] <Mare-Do-Well> 3The room they are brought to is small but decorative, with rich wood shelves and a large, ornate wooden desk. Three figures already occupy the room: the mahogany-coated pegasi stallion in a crisp military uniform who sits behind the desk, with Snowdrift on his right, and a dark-feathered male griffin in Enclave dress armor to his left.
  39. [2015-05-27 13:26:49] <Mare-Do-Well> 3Behind the desk is the flag of the Enclave. In one corner, a phonograph plays, the large, brass "flower" spilling forth another song by the same (presumably long-dead) musical artist as the music that fills the rest of the building. In another corner is a golden table with cups and a pitcher on a hot plate. The room smells of spice and pears.
  40. [2015-05-27 13:26:55] <Mare-Do-Well> 3The Colonel has offered them drinks, then put this question to each of them:
  41. [2015-05-27 13:27:02] <Mare-Do-Well> 3"How can you be of assistance to the Enclave?"
  42. [2015-05-27 13:27:04] <Mare-Do-Well> 3...
  43. [2015-05-27 13:27:18] <Mare-Do-Well> 3You are lead to where another ghoul lays on a bed, looking more irritated than sick. A few other ponies hover about her with concerned expressions -- the caravan seems to have about ten ponies, including the ghouls and the foal.
  44. [2015-05-27 13:27:28] <Mare-Do-Well> 3Get_Lost approaches the ghoul "good morning, miss... how are we doing?" smiles friendly and studies the reaction.
  45. [2015-05-27 13:27:36] <Mare-Do-Well> 3Noble_Heart stays back, allowing those better skilled with these things to deal with this.
  46. [2015-05-27 13:27:43] <Mare-Do-Well> 3The ghoul pegasus rasps. She seems unable to speak.
  47. [2015-05-27 13:27:52] <Mare-Do-Well> 3CopyCat looks up at the Celestia statue, and smiles. "These are good ponies. I feel happy with them near." She closes her eyes, and takes a deep breath. CC is surrounded by bright, golden magic. "Like a warm breeze on a sunny day," she says, in Celestia's voice.
  48. [2015-05-27 13:28:02] <Mare-Do-Well> 3Bookwright says, "Well, I'll be danged. It's Ditzy Doo."
  49. [2015-05-27 13:28:09] <Mare-Do-Well> 3Noble_Heart frowns. "We are still concerned. But uncertain how to help on Our own..."
  50. [2015-05-27 13:28:19] <Mare-Do-Well> 3Bookwright pauses. "...Hold on, where's the Element? Where's the Element of Laughter?"
  51. [2015-05-27 13:29:10] <Mare-Do-Well> 3...
  52. [2015-05-27 13:29:11] <Mare-Do-Well> 3The chaos spirit smiles and bows to CopyCat with a flourish. "Why yes. I'm much slimmer now that I've had my loyalties removed. Thank you for noticing!"
  53. [2015-05-27 13:29:17] <Mare-Do-Well> 3Shatara tilts his head. "Loyalties? You were with the bugponecapten?"
  54. [2015-05-27 13:29:23] <Mare-Do-Well> 3The draconequus shakes his head... by taking it off and giving it a vigorous shake. Then screws it back on, his eyes rolling in their sockets. "Oh no. I'm not /this/ ship's spirit."
  55. [2015-05-27 13:29:29] <Mare-Do-Well> 3Golden_Dream raises her shotgun, checking the chamber. It's always a smart idea to have a shell loaded. "Me. And..." She blunk. "Who's ship spirit are you?"
  56. [2015-05-27 13:29:35] <Mare-Do-Well> 3"The big one waiting just over the horizon. The Leviathan." The spirit grins. "Can't miss it."
  57. [2015-05-27 13:29:36] <Mare-Do-Well> 3...
  58. [2015-05-27 13:29:45] <Mare-Do-Well> 3CopyCat swallows. "Umm, M-m-Mare-Do-Well... you're the only one who's seen a Leviathan in action before. And you've seen how this one is armed. W-what do you think about us t-trying to take it down?"
  59. [2015-05-27 13:29:47] <Mare-Do-Well> 3...
  60. [2015-05-27 13:30:13] <Mare-Do-Well> 3The look on Stoicae's face at the mention of defection is remarkable. It is like Bookwright just offered to let her eat her children.
  61. [2015-05-27 13:30:18] <Mare-Do-Well> 3What follows is a long rendition of what might be a national anthem.
  62. [2015-05-27 13:30:24] <Mare-Do-Well> 3Shatara applauds. Yay for musics!
  63. [2015-05-27 13:30:31] <Mare-Do-Well> 3CopyCat attempts to sing along without knowing the words or even the language.
  64. [2015-05-27 13:30:36] <Mare-Do-Well> 3Bookwright raises his eyebrows and gently plugs his ears with some handy bits of shredded fabric.
  65. [2015-05-27 13:30:41] <Mare-Do-Well> 3Shatara waits for her to finish (and baps CopyCat again).
  66. [2015-05-27 13:30:58] <Mare-Do-Well> 3...
  67. [2015-05-27 13:31:27] <Mare-Do-Well> 3Fallout: Beyond Equestria, Session One Hundred and Thirty-Six: The Last Free Town (Part Thirteen) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BigolJfoANw
  68. [2015-05-27 13:31:46] <Mare-Do-Well> 3--- Session Begins ---
  69. [2015-05-27 13:36:27] * Noble_Heart stands on the deck of the ship, looking towards the horizon. Their target was out there. And things would be both dangerous and bloody before the day was out. Even more so than it had already been. Which was very much. But the Silos were counting on them. And right now, these foreign ponies were all that stood in the way of changeling domination.
  70. [2015-05-27 13:38:24] <Mare-Do-Well> 3Under nearly an acre of camouflage netting sprawls the concrete and steel that was once a zebra military base including a trio of megaspell missile silos. Large, painted cranes hold the nets in place, ready to swing them away from the hatches should any of the silos be prepared to open.
  71. [2015-05-27 13:39:43] <Mare-Do-Well> 3In the northern enclosure, a small band of heavily armed zebra pirates hold their ground facing an intruder unlike any they had seen before.
  72. [2015-05-27 13:44:22] <Mare-Do-Well> 3Unlike most monsters, the creature is clearly intelligent and come bearing weaponry the likes of which were rarely seen. And it spoke, but not in their language. They hoped the Council's translator could help when he arrived. Considering what the creature did to the parameter defenses, they would rather not have to fight it.
  73. [2015-05-27 13:47:44] <Mare-Do-Well> 3The pirates fidget, one checking his battle saddle load repeatedly, one slowly losing an internal argument over offering the creature a smoke (if only as an excuse to take a drag herself and calm her nerves).
  74. [2015-05-27 13:48:15] * CopyCat , meanwhile, is learning to sing the Zebra's national anthem from Stoicae! How well it was going depends on who you ask. CopyCat would say it's going well, while her friends might describe it as going 'relentlessly'... assuming they even described it with words and not just a wail of anguish.
  75. [2015-05-27 13:49:32] * Get_Lost listens to the anthe and hums it, smiling while checking the various freqencies. sometimes she explores for different channels to see if there is something more going on
  76. [2015-05-27 13:49:59] * Golden_Dream finishes emptying out the pantry to make a good place for Stoicae, the Zebra engineer turned prisoner, to be locked up in. It's a bit nicer than being hogtied up all day. She starts heading back up. "Hey, Noble. You ready fer' this?" She seemed to be toying around with some of the flare gun flares.
  77. [2015-05-27 13:51:01] <Mare-Do-Well> 3Finally, the Council's translator arrives, a lanky zebra in an oversized hat adorned with couatl feathers. He tries greetings in several languages, including his barely-used Equestrian. "Greetings. This is not a safe place for trespassing. Who are you, why are you here, and are you alone?"
  78. [2015-05-27 13:52:44] <Mare-Do-Well> 3Before the creature can respond, a joyfully mechanical voice rings out from the bushes. "Finally! Somezebra who can speak Equestrian! Yes! Her name is Mitzi and she's totally alone! ...oops."
  79. [2015-05-27 13:54:26] * Mitzi|mobile is a tremendously large bipedal canine, with armor made of crystal and two magic weapons strapped across her back
  80. [2015-05-27 14:00:16] * Mitzi|mobile also has claws that look like absurdly large, impossibly sharp knives
  81. [2015-05-27 14:01:42] <Mare-Do-Well> 3The zebra pirates jump in surprise, and the translator quickly motions for them to search the bushes while the others keep their weapons trained on Mitzi. The translator asks, "Mitzi, is it? Why are you here?"
  82. [2015-05-27 14:03:05] <Mitzi|mobile> "Uh came here folloween scent uv muh friends."
  83. [2015-05-27 14:03:42] <Mare-Do-Well> 3Two pirates break off and start investigating the bushes with the tips of magical energy spears. "Hey!" the bush yelps in protest.
  84. [2015-05-27 14:04:23] <Mare-Do-Well> 3"And who are your friends?" the translator zebra asks Mitzi.
  85. [2015-05-27 14:04:58] <Mare-Do-Well> 3"And who, or what, is that?" he asks as a pink spritebot shoots up out of the bushes.
  86. [2015-05-27 14:05:46] * Mitzi|mobile keeps her big paws down and her claws pointed behind her. "They eez a bunch uv ponees. "
  87. [2015-05-27 14:05:53] <Mare-Do-Well> 3"I'm Pink-E!" the bot announces cheerfully, "I'm the Official Welcome Party Spritebot."
  88. [2015-05-27 14:06:32] <Mare-Do-Well> 3"Ponies?" the zebra in the fancy hat asks.
  89. [2015-05-27 14:07:26] * Mitzi|mobile nods. "Dere scent stops here. Uh thought dey maybe een truble. "
  90. [2015-05-27 14:08:01] <Mare-Do-Well> 3The zebra cautiously asks, "Describe these ponies."
  91. [2015-05-27 14:10:00] * Mitzi|mobile offers up the best description she can vocalize for Golden_Dream and Noble_Heart . "Und uh greefen".
  92. [2015-05-27 14:13:11] <Mare-Do-Well> 3The pirates look between the intruder (now intruders) and each other. The translator slowly nods. "I... see..."
  93. [2015-05-27 14:13:29] <Mare-Do-Well> 3...About fifteen minutes later...
  94. [2015-05-27 14:15:07] <Mare-Do-Well> 3Get_Lost is flipping through the radio channels when she hears, "...come in. I repeat: /Rainbow Connection/ come in."
  95. [2015-05-27 14:16:12] * Get_Lost "rainbow connection here, i hear you loud and clear" checks the frequenscy to see that it is not an imperial one
  96. [2015-05-27 14:25:29] <Mare-Do-Well> 3The voice on the other end replies, "/Rainbow Connection/ we have had intruders. They claim to be friends of yours. They are... not ponies. One is a robot and one... I don't even know how to describe it."
  97. [2015-05-27 14:26:12] <Mare-Do-Well> 3The voice offers, "It says its name is 'Mitsee'. Are you familiar with a creature by this name?"
  98. [2015-05-27 14:26:52] * Get_Lost "hey there, do we owe them money? hey i know that one! yeah, she's a friend of us! cutest puppy ever! give her a belly rub!"
  99. [2015-05-27 14:27:09] * Get_Lost "hey guys! mitzi is at the silos!"
  100. [2015-05-27 14:27:34] <Mare-Do-Well> 3The voice is silent for a moment. Then, "I'm... not going to do that."
  101. [2015-05-27 14:27:58] * Mitzi|mobile seems disappointed, quite enjoys belly rubs
  102. [2015-05-27 14:28:19] * Bookwright "Wait, what?"
  103. [2015-05-27 14:29:12] * Get_Lost "you know: mitzi! big fluffy puppy? large claws? big bunch of love and happyness?"
  104. [2015-05-27 14:31:45] * Bookwright "Really? We lost track of her ages ago, I assumed she found something else to do."
  105. [2015-05-27 14:32:10] * Get_Lost speaks again at the radio "she's with us, we're finding a way to pass-by and hop her on the bandwagon"
  106. [2015-05-27 14:32:38] * Mitzi|mobile speaks towards the zebra in the hat. "Dis stripey ponee sez dis radio eez ur friends." She addresses the actual radio, "Eez dat yu? "
  107. [2015-05-27 14:34:05] * Golden_Dream looks at the radio. What're we talkin' 'bout?"
  108. [2015-05-27 14:35:25] * Get_Lost smiles at kid "mitzi! she's at the silos, looking for us! we should totally grab her somehow"
  109. [2015-05-27 14:37:29] * Golden_Dream 's ears perk up. "Oh! Mitzi! Yeah, jus' have her in a familiar place so Bookie can pick 'er up. We'll slow down so the trip back ain't a security risk."
  110. [2015-05-27 14:38:35] * CopyCat , still singing with Stoicae, lets out a mental cheer at the news. [Mitzi? Yay!]
  111. [2015-05-27 14:41:35] * Mitzi|mobile asks the radio zebra, "Where eez dey aneeway?"
  112. [2015-05-27 14:47:41] * Bookwright "Mitzi, I can teleport you with me back to us, is that amenable to you?"
  113. [2015-05-27 14:49:13] <Mitzi|mobile> "Eef dat eez easiur fur yu." She says to the radio
  114. [2015-05-27 14:50:47] * Bookwright "It's easier than flying these two airships back to the Silos. The only place in the Silos I know well enough to teleport to is the library. I'll be there momentarily."
  115. [2015-05-27 14:51:43] * Bookwright focuses magical energies and slides through a hole in spacetime with a "flt" sound.
  116. [2015-05-27 14:52:06] * Mitzi|mobile blinks. "Airship? Like, flyeen boat?"
  117. [2015-05-27 14:52:06] <Mare-Do-Well> 3The zebra looks skyward. Starts to say something, then admits, "I'm not actually sure. They don't have any sort of tracker, so they could be just about anywhere."
  118. [2015-05-27 14:52:19] <Mare-Do-Well> 3The zebra nods at that.
  119. [2015-05-27 14:53:15] * Mitzi|mobile nods to the zebra. "Book ponee sez library, so take ur dere. "
  120. [2015-05-27 14:53:19] * Bookwright appears in the Library at the Silos. With a brief wave to the resident spirit, he sets off at a trot to find Mitzi.
  121. [2015-05-27 14:59:31] <Mare-Do-Well> 3Gundi Kifalme meets with Bookwright at the docking rings and leads the way topside. It's the first time Bookwright has really seen the old zebra military base. A maze of concrete and steel structures, many crumbling. Most of the base has been stripped clean of anything vaguely useable, and there are no signs of recent habitation visible from outside.
  122. [2015-05-27 15:01:32] * Bookwright "I'm afraid I can't stay very long. Please show me to Mitzi and the robot and we'll be out of your manes in shortly."
  123. [2015-05-27 15:01:40] <Mare-Do-Well> 3That changes when Bookwright is guided into a still-intact building connected to the base's radio tower. Inside are all the signs of an encampment, combined with the sights and sounds of a wartime station salvaged into working order.
  124. [2015-05-27 15:03:11] <Mare-Do-Well> 3Hushed voices stop. Several zebras look up from a table where they playing a game of cards and chits over rank-smelling booze.
  125. [2015-05-27 15:03:43] <Mare-Do-Well> 3A familiar, odd pink spritebot suddenly zips into the room. "Bookwright!"
  126. [2015-05-27 15:04:06] * Mitzi|mobile lumbers in after Pink-E
  127. [2015-05-27 15:04:59] * Bookwright "Ah, it's good to see you two again. Are you ready to go?"
  128. [2015-05-27 15:08:13] * Mitzi|mobile nods. "Uh'll be glad to see friendly faces ugen."
  129. [2015-05-27 15:08:35] <Mare-Do-Well> 3"Oh no! I think I forgot to pack my toothbrush!"
  130. [2015-05-27 15:09:31] <Mare-Do-Well> 3Pink-E giggles and gives off a blast of fanfare that sends several zebras scrambling for cover.
  131. [2015-05-27 15:11:39] * Bookwright turns to his guide. "A few things you should know: First, we've captured one of Roam's airships. It's enchanted to be almost invisible, so taking it was rather interesting, but we managed. Second, we're going to try and take out the Roam Leviathan. We have a daring and frankly suicidal plan to get a bomb into it. If all goes well we might even survive."
  132. [2015-05-27 15:13:53] * Mitzi|mobile smiles at Book Wright. "Hullo Book ponee."
  133. [2015-05-27 15:14:06] * Bookwright hugs Mitzi as best he can without being sliced and diced by her ginsu knives. "It's a delight to see you again."
  134. [2015-05-27 15:15:57] <Mare-Do-Well> 3The zebra nods, eyes widening. "You took an Umbra-class ship? Wow... The Silos could /really/ use one of those." At the mention of attacking the Leviathan, the zebra stares blankly, unable to find words.
  135. [2015-05-27 15:16:45] * Bookwright "The Leviathan is out there, and as near as we can tell it's headed for the Silos. We don't really have a choice."
  136. [2015-05-27 15:17:05] * Mitzi|mobile nods. "Eet eez gud tu see yu too. Ur last two munths were not very gud."
  137. [2015-05-27 15:18:54] * Bookwright "Okay Mitzi, Pink-E, hold onto your butts. We're teleporting outta here."
  138. [2015-05-27 15:19:30] * Mitzi|mobile doesn't look like she gets the expression, and grabs her tusj
  139. [2015-05-27 15:19:33] <Mitzi|mobile> Tush
  140. [2015-05-27 15:20:47] * Bookwright focuses intently for a few seconds, and then all three disappear in a flash of honey-colored light.
  141. [2015-05-27 15:21:25] * Bookwright reappears on the deck of the Rainbow Connection, along with a very large hairy creature and a rather small sphere.
  142. [2015-05-27 15:24:43] * Golden_Dream immediately sees Mitzi holding onto her butt in the flash and knows exactly what happened. "... He was talkin' figurative, there, Mitzi." Goldy would be carrying a big heavy bomb on her back, and a few paint pails of thermite hung off her body. She looked like she was up to no good. "It's good t' see y' again. I'd stay fer' storytime, but I figure that can hold off until me n' Noble do somethin' stupid."
  143. [2015-05-27 15:24:49] * Bookwright "Phew, bit of a workout, that. Anyways, I brought the cavalry."
  144. [2015-05-27 15:29:14] <Mare-Do-Well> 3Pink-E virtually explodes with music and sprayed confetti. "Everybody's back together again! You know what this calls for?" The pink spritebot pauses in anticipation. Then, unable to hold it in, "A PARTY!"
  145. [2015-05-27 15:30:22] * Noble_Heart steps in from the deck outside. "Party will have to wait until We have finished Our job. It will be a celebration of success. Or perhaps a mourning of failures."
  146. [2015-05-27 15:30:42] * Mare-Do-Well 3stares. Then, "Hello Pink-E." After a moment, "Nope, still can't see me."
  147. [2015-05-27 15:32:46] * Mitzi|mobile tries to take a step towards Golden_Dream, then falls flat on her face. She wobbles to her feet. "Where eez da ground."
  148. [2015-05-27 15:33:11] * Bookwright "We're on an /air/ship
  149. [2015-05-27 15:33:34] * Bookwright "The ground is a couple dozen meters below your, er, paws."
  150. [2015-05-27 15:33:37] <Golden_Dream> "A few dozen meters down."
  151. [2015-05-27 15:35:08] * Mitzi|mobile looks a little I'll as she wobbles. Lacking the feel of the ground under her paws was unsettling
  152. [2015-05-27 15:35:22] <Mitzi|mobile> * ill
  153. [2015-05-27 15:35:51] * CopyCat bursts out of the pantry where she had been singing with Stoicae (locking the door behind her since she knew her friends wanted her to) and joins the others on deck. "MITZI!!" she cheers, and immediately hugs the hellhound.
  154. [2015-05-27 15:36:51] * Mitzi|mobile hugs Copycat back, using her for a bit of support as well
  155. [2015-05-27 15:37:10] <Mare-Do-Well> 3"Fake Luna!" Pink-E bursts out in response.
  156. [2015-05-27 15:38:53] * CopyCat launches a barrage of questioning. "How are you? How is your sister? Did you get to see her and the puppies?"
  157. [2015-05-27 15:39:23] * Mitzi|mobile shakes her head. "Uh nevur got back."
  158. [2015-05-27 15:41:41] * Shatara sits to the side and watches the welcome wagon.
  159. [2015-05-27 15:42:14] * CopyCat beams a smile at the pink sprite bot. "Pink-E! We missed you too."
  160. [2015-05-27 15:48:27] * Golden_Dream raises her eyebrows. "Huh. I didn't know y' brought what's her face."
  161. [2015-05-27 15:49:14] * Mitzi|mobile shrugs. "Uh tink pink bot found me."
  162. [2015-05-27 15:49:29] * Golden_Dream looks up. "Hey, RD. Y'know any cool things we could tell th' Pinkbot t' make her do somethin'?"
  163. [2015-05-27 15:51:01] <Mare-Do-Well> 3Pink-E cocks its flight pattern like a pony leaning it's head. "Hey, you didn't think I'd let a friend go wandering around out there alone, did you!? In the *snow*?"
  164. [2015-05-27 15:52:12] * Mare-Do-Well 3asks, "Like what?"
  165. [2015-05-27 16:00:37] * Golden_Dream shrugs. "I dunno. Like, make it do a little dance, make it work like one o' them balls that shine a bunch-" Oh, wait, it would do that already. "Uh. Unlock somethin' t' make it shoot laser beams?"
  166. [2015-05-27 16:03:07] * Mare-Do-Well 3gives a ghostly shrug. "I could never make it see or hear me."
  167. [2015-05-27 16:04:00] * CopyCat holds a wing and a hoof out for Pink-E, inviting the bot to join the hug with Mitzi. "You're such a good friend."
  168. [2015-05-27 16:04:18] <Mare-Do-Well> 3Pink-E, meanwhile, is playing celebratory reuniting-of-friends music. Which sounds suspiciously like the Crystal Empire anthem, only sped up a lot and with the flugelhorns replaced with kazoos.
  169. [2015-05-27 16:07:17] * Bookwright "You know Em-Dee-Doubleyew, there is a way that you can do that now... If Golden Dream is willing."
  170. [2015-05-27 16:07:54] * Mitzi|mobile smiles and enjoys the music. "Much better den mean flyeen ponee noises."
  171. [2015-05-27 16:09:11] * Golden_Dream furrows her brow. "I don't think her voice would translate through my throat, Bookie."
  172. [2015-05-27 16:12:21] * Bookwright "Do you have any better ideas?"
  173. [2015-05-27 16:17:19] <Golden_Dream> "Leave it alone, 'cause it was jus' a weird question I had while we're waitin' t' head over to th' Leviathan? I mean, if I said 'Initiate Protocol Swordfish' and she sprouted missile guns, we'd have that covered, y'know?" Hey, she was cool with Rainbow Dash sharing headspace, but she still finds it unpleasant at times.
  174. [2015-05-27 16:19:40] <Mare-Do-Well> 3CopyCat notices the glint on the horizon, something now visible in the air high above the trees. They have drifted close enough to spot the Leviathan.
  175. [2015-05-27 16:24:27] * Mitzi|mobile looks to Golden_Dream. "What it Leviathan?"
  176. [2015-05-27 16:24:37] * CopyCat points towards what had once been a speck on the horizon. "There."
  177. [2015-05-27 16:26:21] <Mare-Do-Well> 3Shatara's griffin eyes can pick out more detail. Big, blockish, without sails or balloons or even visible turbines -- the Leviathan looks less like an airship than like an aircraft carrier that has been somehow pulled from the ocean and pinned to the sky.
  178. [2015-05-27 16:26:47] * Golden_Dream shudders a bit. "'Sides. I'm gonna have t' be th' pony what she goes t' share what she saw with anyways. Unless y'all feel particularly generous."
  179. [2015-05-27 16:27:31] <Mare-Do-Well> 3(( Not quite this, but the best visual reference I can find: https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/originals/8f/ca/38/8fca38783dfa066a47edec98ed52bb8a.jpg ))
  180. [2015-05-27 16:27:54] <Shatara> ohmai
  181. [2015-05-27 16:28:12] <Shatara> Can we steal that? :D
  182. [2015-05-27 16:29:06] <Shatara> <redact>
  183. [2015-05-27 16:29:42] * Mitzi|mobile stares, trying to make it out
  184. [2015-05-27 16:33:23] * Shatara frows as he peers at the vessel through his scope. "Th-that...is a warship..."
  185. [2015-05-27 16:33:40] <Mitzi|mobile> "... dat's a big sky boat."
  186. [2015-05-27 16:35:53] * Golden_Dream looks around. "What're y'...?" She looks at Shatara. And then at the direction he's looking at. She pulls out a pair of binoculars. She scrunchfaces, then passes them to the Mitzi at the left. "... Oh, fug."
  187. [2015-05-27 16:37:07] <Mitzi|mobile> Mitzi looks through them. "Very big flyeen boat."
  188. [2015-05-27 16:37:21] * Bookwright "Please tell me we're invisible."
  189. [2015-05-27 16:39:44] <Mare-Do-Well> 3Golden_Dream gets a closer look...
  190. [2015-05-27 16:42:55] <Mare-Do-Well> 3Once, the Leviathan was possibly the most impressive and regal thing in the sky. Solid and mighty. Pure, gleaming, imperial white with a few zebra-esque stripes of black breaking up its profile. Now, nearly a quarter of the ship is exposed infrastructure; Golden_Dream can see right through patches of it.
  191. [2015-05-27 16:44:37] * Golden_Dream whistles in surprise. "Well, uh. Noble. I got good news and bad news. Good news is, we might be able t' see where we're teleporting into."
  192. [2015-05-27 16:44:51] <Mare-Do-Well> 3And at least a third of what remains is patched up with huge, rusty sheets of scrap metal. A fair portion of the Leviathan's aft is covered with exhaust pipes that a pony could climb into. They're not billowing smoke, but the air all around and behind the aft of the ship is distorted like a mirage.
  193. [2015-05-27 16:47:19] * Bookwright "Uh. I don't think our bomb is big enough."
  194. [2015-05-27 16:48:37] * Golden_Dream watches a bit more. "Bookie, nobody likes a smartyflank." She looks amid the party. "... We might be revisin' th' plan a lil'."
  195. [2015-05-27 16:48:52] * Mitzi|mobile looks to bookwright. "How sumteen dat big flyeen?"
  196. [2015-05-27 16:49:07] * Bookwright "Chaos magic, probably."
  197. [2015-05-27 16:51:11] * Mare-Do-Well 3flies up, then back. "Yeah, just as ugly as ever."
  198. [2015-05-27 16:53:52] * Golden_Dream dips her head. "Mare-Do-Well, you'll be happy t' know that yer' part a' th' plan ain't changin' much."
  199. [2015-05-27 16:54:42] * Mare-Do-Well 3raises an eyebrow.
  200. [2015-05-27 17:11:11] * Golden_Dream clops her hoof against the deck of the ship. "Yer' gonna do yer' scoutin' run and try t' find what's fuelin' that there engine. Be real careful not t' get caught. Not all of 'em can see you, but a pretty durned good percentage of th' Zebras we met can."
  201. [2015-05-27 17:11:37] * CopyCat swallows, looking at the worn-down but still very imposing Leviathan. Her worry was returning, and it was returning quickly.
  202. [2015-05-27 17:12:52] * Golden_Dream nods. "In addition, that there ship is fuggin' crazy with chaos magic. Don't take anythin' fer' granted, even stuff y' thought always applied t' ghosts. Celestia knows, I won't be takin' any chances when we head there ourselves."
  203. [2015-05-27 17:15:43] * Mitzi|mobile blinks. "Dere eez ghosts on dat ship?"
  204. [2015-05-27 17:16:27] * Mare-Do-Well 3floats up in front of Mitzi and gives her a level stare. Then blinks. And facehooves. "She can't see me either."
  205. [2015-05-27 17:58:42] * Golden_Dream gives Mitzi an even stare. "There's a ghost on this ship. She's Rainbow Dash."
  206. [2015-05-27 18:00:18] * CopyCat nods, thankful for the distraction. "She helped us in the Crystal Empire!"
  207. [2015-05-27 18:00:21] * Mitzi|mobile looks to Golden_Dream. "Why eez there ghost here?
  208. [2015-05-27 18:00:23] <Mitzi|mobile> "
  209. [2015-05-27 18:01:51] * Golden_Dream shrugs. "'Cause I asked nice and I cook fer' her, I guess."
  210. [2015-05-27 18:03:20] <Mitzi|mobile> "How does ghost eat?"
  211. [2015-05-27 18:09:05] * Mare-Do-Well 3just kind of droops until she sinks into the floor.
  212. [2015-05-27 18:14:10] * Mitzi|mobile looks confused. She didn't know much about ghosts and spirits and magic
  213. [2015-05-27 18:20:01] * Golden_Dream explains, "She possesses me, she eats with my mouth, and then she un-possesses me.
  214. [2015-05-27 18:20:51] * Golden_Dream ponders. "Hey, Mare-Do-Well! Do y' like spicy stuff?"
  215. [2015-05-27 18:23:08] <Mare-Do-Well> 3--- End of Session ---
