  1. [2013-12-06 23:11:37] <KendallKun> 4 Session 11 Start
  2. [2013-12-06 23:12:09] <KendallKun> 4 Having taken the supply warehouse, the group is waiting to decide their next move.
  3. [2013-12-06 23:16:44] * Apricot_Tarts goes to take overwatch. her rifle leaning against a barricade while she munches on some canned apples
  4. [2013-12-06 23:17:41] * Ginger_Ails starts going over the procedure in his head. Y incision. Peel back the dermal layer and pin to chest. Rib spreaders. Remove slug with forceps. If pain relief is holding, rebreak ribs to set properly. If not, remove spreader and begin closing. The tools floating around him start to organize by order of use.
  5. [2013-12-06 23:19:04] * Edna_Stonetalon leads the doctor pony back to the others
  6. [2013-12-06 23:21:00] * Fleet_Fortune is following Edna_Stonetalon back to the warehouse, after finding nothing useful on the ponies!
  7. [2013-12-06 23:21:08] <KendallKun> 4 The doctor and his guards follow Edna_Stonetalon, keeping an eye out for anything that may jump them.
  8. [2013-12-06 23:24:55] * Ginger_Ails debates internally if a focused pain relief or a shot of Med-X would be better. He is usually loath to use supplies, but he's very low on magical reserves.
  9. [2013-12-06 23:30:36] * Ginger_Ails 's horn brightens as he casts pain relief on himself, the magic reducing the harsh feeling of pain without imparing his motorskills.
  10. [2013-12-06 23:30:44] * Edna_Stonetalon comes onto there hiding place and brings the doc over to Ginger_Ails "Found a doc for ya."
  11. [2013-12-06 23:31:47] * Apricot_Tarts waves to Edna from her elevated position
  12. [2013-12-06 23:31:53] * Iris continues her weapon modification.
  13. [2013-12-06 23:32:15] * Ginger_Ails turns an eye from the mirror, the blade of his scalpel resting on the top of one of the shaved Y's arms. "That so?"
  14. [2013-12-06 23:33:15] <KendallKun> 4 The doctor gives a wave as he walks in, "So, what have you done to yourself?"
  15. [2013-12-06 23:33:40] * Fleet_Fortune arrives a couple minutes after Edna_Stonetalon.
  16. [2013-12-06 23:36:18] * Ginger_Ails looks back to the mirror. "Penetrating chest wound, 12 guage slug. Pierced lung. Focused healing spell to extricate the slug, it rotated. Mended the lung, but the slug fouled the healing of the shattered ribs." He points with a medical probe at the large protrusion from his barrel.
  17. [2013-12-06 23:37:15] * Ginger_Ails continues. "Sedated with a pain relief spell to maintain motor control. Have not yet made the incision. Will need to spread the ribs, remove the slug, rebreak the ribs, mend and close."
  18. [2013-12-06 23:39:59] <KendallKun> 4 The doctor frowns and trots over to inspect the damage, "And how did you end up with shrapnel in your chest?"
  19. [2013-12-06 23:43:18] * Ginger_Ails looks at the other doctor with a quirked brow. "Injected it for practice? I got shot." Not a Wellspring of Confidence...
  20. [2013-12-06 23:44:05] * Edna_Stonetalon blink blinks "Well you two have fun. I'm gunna see if his friends can answer some questions."
  21. [2013-12-06 23:45:56] * Fleet_Fortune starts checking the warehouse for anything else that may be worth 'borrowing'.
  22. [2013-12-06 23:46:33] <KendallKun> 4 The doctor blank faces Ginger_Ails, "Well gee, I didn't know guns hurt ponies. Thank you so much for clearing that one for me. Why were you shot?"
  23. [2013-12-06 23:48:37] * Ginger_Ails blinks slowly, clearing his mind of frustration. He should be cutting himself, more pleasant. Heck... what were they even doing... "Getting supplies for the Docs and the Iron Asses or whatever didn't approve."
  24. [2013-12-06 23:49:39] <KendallKun> 4 Aside from the piles of medical goodies just lying around, Fleet_Fortune can't find anything else.
  25. [2013-12-06 23:53:23] <KendallKun> 4 The doctor nods, "Ah, I see. Right, get yourself comfortable and we'll begin." He gathers a few medical supplies from around the warehouse.
  26. [2013-12-06 23:56:24] * Fleet_Fortune is disappointed. She was hoping for something /really/ nice.
  27. [2013-12-06 23:57:48] * Ginger_Ails guesses he doesn't have to do this standing now, he looks for an apropriate height table... something low so the pegasus can work easily. He glances back at the 'doctor' Eddie found, watching him prep closely. He tucks his own tools neatly back into the medical bag he's been using.
  28. [2013-12-06 23:59:27] <KendallKun> 4 The doctor walks back over with the required tools, beckoning for one of his guards to come over. He whispers into the guard's ear and begins to prep Ginger_Ails for proper surgery.
  29. [2013-12-07 00:01:38] * Ginger_Ails looks at the doctor. "What was that? I didn't catch it."
  30. [2013-12-07 00:02:48] <KendallKun> 4 The guard returns with a lamp, turning it on. The doctor smiles, "Just asking for a better light source. Now then, close your eyes and... think of something more pleasant."
  31. [2013-12-07 00:04:12] * Ginger_Ails smiles, levitating the improvised mirror up, reflecting a bit of lamplight down and also allowing him to see. "I think I'll keep them open."
  32. [2013-12-07 00:04:32] * Fleet_Fortune just gives up and goes to sit with the others while Ginger_Ails gets cut open by the doc.
  33. [2013-12-07 00:04:52] * Edna_Stonetalon heard what was said is unconcerned
  34. [2013-12-07 00:04:59] <KendallKun> 4 The doctor shrugs, "Suit yourself." He begins surgery.
  35. [2013-12-07 00:06:41] <KendallKun> 4 After a fair bit of work done, Ginger_Ails now has a nice scar across his chest and a small metal slug as a souvenir of the whole ordeal. The doctor smiles at the zony, "There we are. Good as new."
  36. [2013-12-07 00:06:47] * Ginger_Ails watches intently, but doesn't speak unless the pegasus is about to /really/ screw something up.
  37. [2013-12-07 00:11:51] * Ginger_Ails smiles back, it was fairly competent work overall. "Thank you, it's a real pain spreading your own ribs."
  38. [2013-12-07 00:12:16] * Edna_Stonetalon had waited for the doc to finish "Hey thanks for patchin ol Ginger up. Mind if we ask a few question? We'll escort you back if you want."
  39. [2013-12-07 00:12:45] <KendallKun> 4 The doctor chuckles, "I can imagine. And yes, ask away. I have a few of my own."
  40. [2013-12-07 00:13:26] * Iris carefully organizes her loose ammunition.
  41. [2013-12-07 00:15:33] * Ginger_Ails rolls off the bed, buttoning his shirt and slipping into his flak vest.
  42. [2013-12-07 00:23:19] * Apricot_Tarts is still on overwatch
  43. [2013-12-07 00:24:43] * Edna_Stonetalon smiles at him "You first, you've already done more than enough."
  44. [2013-12-07 00:25:47] <KendallKun> 4 The doctor nods, "Now, who are you all exactly? And why are you in the storehouse?"
  45. [2013-12-07 00:26:48] * Edna_Stonetalon "We're...... not from around hear. And I don't know /why/ we were sent, just that we were."
  46. [2013-12-07 00:28:58] <KendallKun> 4 The doctor frowns, "I take it that the boss sent you, right? Doctor Blue Skies?"
  47. [2013-12-07 00:29:40] * Iris has been journaling.
  48. [2013-12-07 00:30:30] <Edna_Stonetalon> "Ummm... I think that was his name, yeah."
  49. [2013-12-07 00:30:39] * Ginger_Ails snorts. "Yes. I believe that was his name. I was caring for my patients when introductions were made in a seperate room. He took off with them before giving me the courtesy."
  50. [2013-12-07 00:31:42] * Fleet_Fortune adds, "We're to deliver some needed supplies."
  51. [2013-12-07 00:32:40] <KendallKun> 4 The doctor chuckles, "Yes, he does have a tendency to do that. Rest assured, he's the best of the best." He turns to Fleet_Fortune, "Oh, you're on the supply run? That explains a lot."
  52. [2013-12-07 00:33:06] * Iris discards her ruined academic texts by stacking them in a corner.
  53. [2013-12-07 00:34:36] * Ginger_Ails grumbles about how stealing another doctor's patients without even giving the caretaker a moment to consult them about their comfort level is quite possibly the rudest thing one physician could do to another.
  54. [2013-12-07 00:35:35] * Apricot_Tarts catches up with the others "What's going on? Hey Ails, you're looking good!"
  55. [2013-12-07 00:35:47] <KendallKun> 4 The doctor frowns at Ginger_Ails, "I'm sure he meant nothing by it. He's the boss after all. Now, you had questions for me?"
  56. [2013-12-07 00:39:00] * Edna_Stonetalon thinks for a moment "What dose this tub use for money? Or is it all trade?"
  57. [2013-12-07 00:39:21] * Ginger_Ails smiles to Apricot_Tarts. He takes a big, demonstrative breath. "I'm feeling as good as I look. Eddie found rather competent help." His darkening mood lightens considerably
  58. [2013-12-07 00:40:29] * Iris continues writing, listening-in to the others from her little spot.
  59. [2013-12-07 00:40:32] <KendallKun> 4 The doctor thinks for a moment before answering Edna_Stonetalon, "The Outer tier primarily relies on trade. I'm not sure about the others, never been there myself."
  60. [2013-12-07 00:44:29] <Apricot_Tarts> "We need better equipment. No offence Iris."
  61. [2013-12-07 00:44:36] <Edna_Stonetalon> "Got a market then?
  62. [2013-12-07 00:44:38] <Edna_Stonetalon> "
  63. [2013-12-07 00:45:07] <Iris> "Our equipment is serviceable," Iris mutters.
  64. [2013-12-07 00:46:13] <Edna_Stonetalon> "Maybe they'll have a brothel so Iris can finally get laid."
  65. [2013-12-07 00:46:55] <Iris> "Or so Edna can get her beak stuffed with cock and give us all a moment's peace..."
  66. [2013-12-07 00:47:25] <KendallKun> 4 The doctor frowns, "Not a market per se... the boss will know what's best for you."
  67. [2013-12-07 00:49:17] * Apricot_Tarts snerks
  68. [2013-12-07 00:49:36] * Edna_Stonetalon goes over and leans against Iris as they walk, purring "Keep that up and I mite make a pass at you." giggling and getting back to business "Do you know what's up with those Iron fuckers?"
  69. [2013-12-07 00:49:41] * Fleet_Fortune gives a sigh. "Fight on your own time... please."
  70. [2013-12-07 00:50:09] * Iris is sitting down near the door to the storage room?
  71. [2013-12-07 00:50:33] <KendallKun> 4 The doctor shakes his head, "I don't know to be honest. Again, it's something that the boss would know."
  72. [2013-12-07 00:51:22] * Edna_Stonetalon shrugs "Fair enough."
  73. [2013-12-07 00:51:56] <Apricot_Tarts> "All I know is that everything's royally fucked up."
  74. [2013-12-07 00:54:25] * Edna_Stonetalon "You ain't seen royally fucked till you have a pegasus turned giant tentacle monster try to drag a friend down the bog." shaking herself to clear away the memory "Still can't use a normal bathroom...."
  75. [2013-12-07 00:55:43] <KendallKun> 4 The other ponies all look to each other, rather confused at the discussion. Eventually one of guards speaks up, "Anyway, we were heading back to the boss now if you wanted to join us. We can help with carrying the supplies."
  76. [2013-12-07 00:59:03] * Apricot_Tarts smiles "That'll work."
  77. [2013-12-07 00:59:49] * Iris stands-up and stretches, getting ready to put her pail back on her head.
  78. [2013-12-07 01:01:48] * Ginger_Ails is ready to move, their portion of the supplies already tucked in his bags. He'll wait and see if he needs to use his magic to move it all or not.
  79. [2013-12-07 01:03:30] <KendallKun> 4 The other ponies load up a few carts of supplies and nod, ready for the group to lead on.
  80. [2013-12-07 01:04:13] * Fleet_Fortune is ready to get going!
  81. [2013-12-07 01:04:19] * Iris is all packed-up and ready to go.
  82. [2013-12-07 01:04:23] * Edna_Stonetalon is ready to go as well
  83. [2013-12-07 01:04:31] * Apricot_Tarts is ready as well
  84. [2013-12-07 01:05:12] * Ginger_Ails falls into line beside Fleet_Fortune.
  85. [2013-12-07 01:06:53] * Edna_Stonetalon comes up next to Ginger_Ails so Fleet_Fortune can't have all his atention
  86. [2013-12-07 01:09:31] * Ginger_Ails is still cool toward Edna_Stonetalon, but not actively angry.
  87. [2013-12-07 01:09:53] * Iris brings up the rear, looking dour as usual.
  88. [2013-12-07 01:09:58] <KendallKun> 4 The ponies start to pull the carts out of the store, trotting towards the MoP Center.
  89. [2013-12-07 01:13:55] * Apricot_Tarts trots next to the cart, rifle out
  90. [2013-12-07 01:15:59] * Ginger_Ails enjoys the ability to breath, trotting close to Fleet_Fortune, as much to be close to the pretty mare as it is to be not as close to Eddie.
  91. [2013-12-07 01:16:05] <KendallKun> 4 After a while, the group make their way back to the MoP center. Bodies still litter the ground, but a clear and distinct path has been made through them.
  92. [2013-12-07 01:17:00] * Iris grumbles audibly.
  93. [2013-12-07 01:18:56] * Fleet_Fortune keeps an eye out as they walk. "So, your boss said he knows every pegasus on this tub. Does that mean they all work for him?"
  94. [2013-12-07 01:22:22] <KendallKun> 4 One of the guards nods, "Almost every one. There are a few that don't but he still knows them. It's a sort of tradition for the leader of the Mongrels to know them all."
  95. [2013-12-07 01:25:48] * Fleet_Fortune gives a quiet 'hmm.' "Is there some society of unicorns too? Or is it just pegasi that get one all to themselves?"
  96. [2013-12-07 01:26:09] <Edna_Stonetalon> "I've heard others talk about other griffins. What's the story on them?"
  97. [2013-12-07 01:28:05] * Ginger_Ails looks over Fleet_Fortune's back at the pegasus, taking a step closer and lightly brushing her side as he prepares a question. "If you don't mind my asking... I've recieved... mixed responses... to my appearance. Some haven't cared and some assumed I was about to murder them after they surrendered. I'll admit I'm more used to the latter than the former. So what gives?"
  98. [2013-12-07 01:29:29] * Fleet_Fortune gives a quick glance at Ginger_Ails when he brushes against her.
  99. [2013-12-07 01:31:15] * Ginger_Ails seems to be focusing on the guard, but he doesn't shy from her, sticking close beside her and brushing against her every so often as he keeps pace.
  100. [2013-12-07 01:33:08] <KendallKun> 4 The guard shakes his head, "None that I know of, and I'm not sure about griffons. My dad said they used to help us in the war at least..." As he finishes speaking, the doors of the MoP Center open. Blue Skies, his guard and the three patients all trot out, Blue giving a cheery smile, "Hello there!"
  101. [2013-12-07 01:35:44] * Ginger_Ails frowns. It's not the first time somepony has ducked that particular question. His expression starts to turn darker as he sees the pegasus boss/doctor, but manages to stay at a severe frown as he realizes Evergreen and the others are there and look safe.
  102. [2013-12-07 01:38:16] * Iris keeps her emotions hidden behind her metal mask, but the group can probably make an educated guess at them.
  103. [2013-12-07 01:39:25] * Edna_Stonetalon "Hey! We got the goods."
  104. [2013-12-07 01:41:51] <KendallKun> 4 Blue Skies smiles, "I can see that! Job well done, and this is just the start. Isn't that right Blacky?" Black Hooves also walks out of the MoP Center, looking rather pissed off at the name, "Huh, you're still kicking. I'm impressed."
  105. [2013-12-07 01:42:48] * Edna_Stonetalon raises an eyebrow "What?"
  106. [2013-12-07 01:43:31] * Ginger_Ails finds his attention drawn to Evergreen. He finds it suddenly harder to maintain the frown.
  107. [2013-12-07 01:46:05] <KendallKun> 4 Black Hooves motions for the group to follow her and Blue Skies inside, both trotting into the MoP Center.
  108. [2013-12-07 01:48:30] * Ginger_Ails turns away from the filly, laying eyes on Blue Skies and finding his frown again. He follows the rest, his expression darkening considerably when they are out of sight of his patients.
  109. [2013-12-07 01:50:00] * Iris walks along...
  110. [2013-12-07 01:57:48] * Apricot_Tarts follows
  111. [2013-12-07 01:59:06] <KendallKun> 4 The group follow the two bosses up the stairs and into Blue Skies' office. As they walk along, the lights of the Center have been switched on, and the place has had a general tidy up too.
  112. [2013-12-07 02:00:23] * Fleet_Fortune is very much wondering what Black Hooves is doing here...
  113. [2013-12-07 02:01:24] * Ginger_Ails would rather not be following these two, but the last time he stayed back they ended up giving away his patients and physically dragging him away before he could even ensure they were safe. He would rather not allow that to happen again.
  114. [2013-12-07 02:05:11] <KendallKun> 4 Blue Skies takes his place behind his desk, Black Hooves stands around looking a little grumpy. She mutters something about needed to tend to her crops as the group file in.
  115. [2013-12-07 02:05:59] * Ginger_Ails looks around the room as he enters, he was denied entrance the last time he stomped his way up here...
  116. [2013-12-07 02:08:43] * Fleet_Fortune eyes Black Hooves a little curiously. Once they reach the room, she asks, "So uh... is there something wrong?"
  117. [2013-12-07 02:09:44] <KendallKun> 4 The room looks like how it was last left, minus the body of the Iron Horns member pinned to the wall. Black Hooves looks to Blue Skies who begins to speak, "It seems we are in an interesting position, and we are willing to make a deal with you all. Firstly, what is your goal here?"
  118. [2013-12-07 02:10:03] <Apricot_Tarts> "Ours?"
  119. [2013-12-07 02:10:26] * Edna_Stonetalon raises a talon "To not die."
  120. [2013-12-07 02:12:01] <KendallKun> 4 Blue Skies nods to Apricot_Tarts, "To get home, to kill us all, to establish a business, what is it?"
  121. [2013-12-07 02:13:10] <Apricot_Tarts> "Mostly to survive for now, because somepony on *your* ship blew up *our* ship."
  122. [2013-12-07 02:14:20] <KendallKun> 4 Black Hooves snorts, "Like that was our fault. He's talking long term. Just 'surviving' isn't enough. Anypony can do that."
  123. [2013-12-07 02:14:31] * Fleet_Fortune thinks for a few moments. "I think /we/ want to get home. But I think the ponies back home will want to know what's going on on this ship."
  124. [2013-12-07 02:15:21] * Ginger_Ails scowls. "If we are talking personal motivations... The ponies on that ship were my patients. I loathe losing patients, especially when they are /taken/ from me. Personally, I'd like some blood."
  125. [2013-12-07 02:15:46] <Iris> "Our mission was to explore."
  126. [2013-12-07 02:16:34] <Iris> "We were a largely peaceful delegation from the New Canterlot Republic."
  127. [2013-12-07 02:18:46] <KendallKun> 4 Blue Skies nods, scribbling a few things down, "Well, in your regards we have some good news. And some less than good news."
  128. [2013-12-07 02:26:00] <KendallKun> 4 Black Hooves continues, "The good news is that we've worked out where the long range radio control room is. Bad news, it's in the Second Tier. Worse news, within the next two months this ship will beach and begin an all out assault on the zebra nation known as the NCR."
  129. [2013-12-07 02:28:04] <Iris> "Great."
  130. [2013-12-07 02:28:08] * Fleet_Fortune gives Black Hooves a blank look. "... Do I look like a zebra to you?"
  131. [2013-12-07 02:28:36] * Ginger_Ails snorts
  132. [2013-12-07 02:28:46] <Edna_Stonetalon> "Umm..... yeah..... it's not a zebra nation. It's more a mix of everyone who's left."
  133. [2013-12-07 02:31:44] <KendallKun> 4 Black Hooves glares back at them, "Well no fucking shit Sherclops. If you hadn't fucking noticed, I'm stuck out here in the Outer tier. I don't make these fucking decisions, I just get shot if I don't go along with them." Blue Skies sighs, motioning for Black to calm down before talking, "The point is, we don't want that. Not one bit."
  134. [2013-12-07 02:31:53] <Iris> "Whoever's driving this thing is beyond caring."
  135. [2013-12-07 02:32:18] <KendallKun> [replace "them" with "the group"]
  136. [2013-12-07 02:32:21] * Ginger_Ails "Well, I suppose we'll be home in two months regardless."
  137. [2013-12-07 02:32:47] <Edna_Stonetalon> "So killing those in charge is a go!"
  138. [2013-12-07 02:35:53] <KendallKun> 4 Black Hooves throws her hooves up, "Someone fucking gets it!" Blue Skies nods, "Eventually, yes, but first we need to cripple them. So, we need you to remove our little gang problem."
  139. [2013-12-07 02:38:28] * Fleet_Fortune frowns. "I don't think we're well enough equipped for something that big."
  140. [2013-12-07 02:41:53] * Ginger_Ails examines his hoof. Gang warfare... how nostalgic. "So... we are to believe we are protecting our territory while we provide you a coup attempt with complete deniability? It's a good carrot, I must say. And good for you."
  141. [2013-12-07 02:43:23] <Apricot_Tarts> "So you want us to get rid of the Iro Horns?"
  142. [2013-12-07 02:44:15] <KendallKun> 4 Blue Skies chuckles, "Oh, not in one go. There are a few things you can do to weaken the Forger. Primarily, you'll want to take out his factories and his lieutenants. When it comes to the final attack, we'll be there to support you. As for supplies, we know somewhere that may help. Shroud, if you would please." Shroud appears behind Blue Skies and places a metal cuboid on his desk.
  143. [2013-12-07 02:46:03] * Edna_Stonetalon "I like this plan."
  144. [2013-12-07 02:48:56] <Apricot_Tarts> "Me too. asymmetrical warfare."
  145. [2013-12-07 02:49:39] * Ginger_Ails sucks his teeth, a tick showing he's perturbed. "Personally, I don't like being used, especially so transparently. You say you'll support us at the end, once you can claim your prize. Before then you'll help from the shadows, right? Where you can cut ties and leave us blowing in the wind. Count me opposed, but I won't leave you to do whatever you decide along. You're my patients."
  146. [2013-12-07 02:50:07] <Ginger_Ails> (decide alone*)
  147. [2013-12-07 02:50:50] <Iris> "I don't like it, and you're both abhorrent to me."
  148. [2013-12-07 02:51:19] <Iris> "You for this." Iris points to the dead vivisected buck.
  149. [2013-12-07 02:51:28] <Iris> buck, looking at Skies.*
  150. [2013-12-07 02:51:53] <KendallKun> 4 The buck is not there.
  151. [2013-12-07 02:52:24] <Iris> [Ohh. Minus the buck...]
  152. [2013-12-07 02:53:22] <Iris> [Redact my last two lines, then.]
  153. [2013-12-07 02:53:29] <Apricot_Tarts> "Welcome to the cahin of command Ginger."
  154. [2013-12-07 02:53:34] <Apricot_Tarts> *chain
  155. [2013-12-07 02:55:19] <KendallKun> 4 Blue Skies shrugs, taking the cuboid away, "Well, I'm equally fine with just having you all killed. You'll just be left alone on a hostile ship heading for your homeland with no form of support. It's your call, better make it soon."
  156. [2013-12-07 02:59:25] <Iris> "Let me make something clear to you, Doctor Cruel. Each one of us is a badass killing machine capable of ten of your best cronies."
  157. [2013-12-07 02:59:35] <Iris> of killing ten of*
  158. [2013-12-07 03:00:11] <Iris> "Without us, your little coup attempt is going to be quashed and each of your supporters burnt away as if by the cleansing fires of the sun."
  159. [2013-12-07 03:00:32] <Iris> "You need us, and we are willing to enter into a coalition."
  160. [2013-12-07 03:01:09] <Iris> "We'll work together with you, but don't think you own us."
  161. [2013-12-07 03:01:56] * Fleet_Fortune eyes Blue Skies, waving at Iris with a hoof, indicating that she should probably stop talking. "We're nothing if not reasonable ponies. But you can't expect us to simply do as you say unconditionally. If we're going to be working with you, then you need to think of us less as tools... and more as partners."
  162. [2013-12-07 03:04:07] <KendallKun> 4 Blue Skies looks around, before pointing to himself, "Oh, me? You're talking to me? That's funny. That's really funny. Get the fuck out of my sight before I start playing with your innards." He directs this at Iris and Iris alone.
  163. [2013-12-07 03:04:22] * Apricot_Tarts groans
  164. [2013-12-07 03:05:07] * Edna_Stonetalon blinks "I think I zoned out..... why was Iris doing the talking?"
  165. [2013-12-07 03:08:40] <Fleet_Fortune> ACTION looks between Black Hooves and Blue Skies. "Look, I know you're both very smart ponies. Which is exactly why I know that if you haven't done something about your problem yet, it's because you can't do it, or can't risk it. You need us to help, and lucky for you, we aren't asking much." She gives as sincere a smile as she can muster! "We don't want a piece of the power. We just want out. We want to get back at the ones who are runni
  166. [2013-12-07 03:09:15] <Apricot_Tarts> "Can we please stop acting like testorsteron pumped teenagers for a second and talk like the adult civilzed ponies we are?"
  167. [2013-12-07 03:09:17] * Iris just stares impassively at Blue Skies.
  168. [2013-12-07 03:09:38] * Fleet_Fortune "... We want to get back at the ones who are running the show. And we want somepony incharge we can talk to, diplomatically. All we need is the means to help you. And I know you can providethat means."
  169. [2013-12-07 03:11:17] <KendallKun> 4 Blue Skies' voice is dripping in malice as he speaks, "I am more than happy to speak with you on equal terms. After she leaves. Five minutes, else you'll all suffer for it." Black Hooves chuckles to herself, clearly enjoying the moment.
  170. [2013-12-07 03:13:15] * Fleet_Fortune looks to Iris, and motions to the door. If they're going to make a deal, they need to show their willingness to cooperate.
  171. [2013-12-07 03:13:49] * Ginger_Ails turns to Iris. "I'll walk with you, if you like. I throw my support behind whatever Fleet_Fortune and Apricot_Tarts decides." he walks over beside the heavily armored mare.
  172. [2013-12-07 03:15:09] * Iris walks out with Ginger.
  173. [2013-12-07 03:16:19] * Ginger_Ails turns to look over his shoulder as he leaves, looking at Blue Skies. "Personally, I think the abdominal cavity has far to few nerve endings." He walks out the door letting it close behind him.
  174. [2013-12-07 03:17:45] * Iris doesn't say anything.
  175. [2013-12-07 03:20:17] * Iris starts taking her helmet off once she's outside the room so she can speak to Ginger in whispers.
  176. [2013-12-07 03:20:27] <KendallKun> 4 Blue Skies snorts, standing up, "The bloody cheek of it. Now, aside from what support we can give you, what do you want? I will give you warning now, we are not a charity. We can give you guidance and we can give you some supplies, anything too grand and the Iron Horns will begin to suspect things. Exactly what we don't want."
  177. [2013-12-07 03:21:29] * Ginger_Ails walks beside Iris, sticking close. She usually only takes the helmet off when she has something to say or she's working. He'd place bets on which it is.
  178. [2013-12-07 03:22:33] <Iris> Iris' face is thoughtful and somewhat tear-stained. The helmet hides much.
  179. [2013-12-07 03:23:18] <Iris> "He cut that buck up right in front of all of us," she says to Ginger. "I could see his innards moving..."
  180. [2013-12-07 03:23:43] * Iris looks Ginger in the face.
  181. [2013-12-07 03:23:55] <Iris> "Nobody deserves that."
  182. [2013-12-07 03:24:07] * Edna_Stonetalon "I.... could use some ammo... and maybe some upgrades for my weapon?"
  183. [2013-12-07 03:24:35] * Fleet_Fortune thinks for a moment. "Aside from proper equipment? I think one of the things we need, above all else, is a safehouse or two. That works out better for you, too, since that means we don't have to track back here or the greenhouse any time we need to lay low. And it gives you a place you can be sure you can get in contact if you need to." She glances at Apricot_Tarts. "What do you think?"
  184. [2013-12-07 03:27:05] <KendallKun> 4 Blue Skies taps his chin thoughtfully, "How did you find the storehouse? Roomy enough for you all?"
  185. [2013-12-07 03:29:32] <Ginger_Ails> ACTION tilts his head. His mouth starts to work but no sound comes out at first. It closes. He lifts his forlegs to her shoulders, looking her in the eyes. "I'm... not sure exactly what you saw... but I can imagine it. From how he talked..." He shakes his head, his horn lighting and pulling a simple, unmedicated bandage from his pack. He levitates it to her face, brushing her cheek. "Gangers are prone to cruelty, thinks it keeps pon
  186. [2013-12-07 03:30:04] * Fleet_Fortune nods. "Seems pretty defensible. And nopony would question if you were to say... store some boxes of various supplies there."
  187. [2013-12-07 03:31:49] <Ginger_Ails> "Gangers are prone to cruelty, thinks it keeps ponies in line. We'll get through this, and we'll protect our friends. That's all we can do. That and be there for each other." He smiles warmly.
  188. [2013-12-07 03:32:18] <Iris> "Thanks," Iris says, taking the bandage and mopping her face more effectively.
  189. [2013-12-07 03:35:04] * Ginger_Ails gives a slight nod. "You're welcome. Listen... I'm no shrink or anything, but I do have very good ears. If you ever need to talk to somepony with a level head, I'm your stallion. So don't be afraid to bend my ear, alright?"
  190. [2013-12-07 03:35:29] <Iris> "Alright."
  191. [2013-12-07 03:35:48] * Iris sighs.
  192. [2013-12-07 03:35:58] <KendallKun> 4 Blue Skies nods, "Of course, we cannot give you too much. The occasional medical box could go missing, as well as a few crops I suppose. As for weapons, you're free to whatever you can find at the factories. Oh, and here." He passes the metal cuboid over, "This is a Tier pass. It'll get you and up to six others into the Third Tier. Most of the market stores are up there. If not, look for...
  193. [2013-12-07 03:35:58] <KendallKun> ...Rag and Bone in the Outer Tier."
  194. [2013-12-07 03:36:29] <Iris> "These aren't good ponies, but we'll need them for the foreseeable future."
  195. [2013-12-07 03:38:55] <Iris> "... and I hate that," she mutters, carefully putting her helmet back on.
  196. [2013-12-07 03:40:56] * Fleet_Fortune nods, and takes the Tier Pass. "You know how you'll be able to get in contact with us. Anyplace you want us to leave a message for either of you, in secret?
  197. [2013-12-07 03:41:53] * Ginger_Ails nods. "Somepony has to be vigilant, and those someponies are us. I don't like being so expendable. Still, having a safeish place or two would be nice." He hops down a fair distance of the stairs, his hops random and letting him fill as much of the hall as he can. It might look foalish, but they've flaunted their stealthsuited buddies enough already.
  198. [2013-12-07 03:43:05] * Iris has been choosing her words somewhat. The walls have ears, after all.
  199. [2013-12-07 03:45:52] <KendallKun> 4 Black Hooves steps forward, "Just leave it with any of our gang members. We'll get the message eventually. If it's urgent, cause a ruckus. Veil, give it to them." Veil appears behind Black Hooves, floating a small collection of papers, his boss continuing, "This is the basic data on the Center. Helps you blend in."
  200. [2013-12-07 03:49:26] * Fleet_Fortune takes a quick glance at the papers.
  201. [2013-12-07 03:50:08] * Edna_Stonetalon has been listening intently the whole time
  202. [2013-12-07 03:52:33] * Ginger_Ails , having assumably reached the bottom of the stairs without hitting any invisible ponies, turns back to look at Iris. "I know what will cheer me up, maybe you too. There's a sweet, adorable little filly somewhere nearby that I must check up on." He gives a broad smile that reaches all the way up to his eyes.
  203. [2013-12-07 03:53:04] <Iris> "Let's go, then."
  204. [2013-12-07 03:53:22] * Iris is the mask again, but her eyes are softer than before.
  205. [2013-12-07 03:54:55] * Ginger_Ails starts his search for Evergreen and his other patients. As there original caretaker, they are still his responisibility.
  206. [2013-12-07 03:54:57] <KendallKun> 4 Blue Skies nods, "In addition, your Tier Pass has fifty credits on it. Consider it another gift, so we can at least leave on more amicable terms. Your first target will be sent to you in the morning."
  207. [2013-12-07 03:59:20] * Fleet_Fortune puts the papers away and nods. "Thank you very much. We look forward to working with you both." She gives them both a smile. "Anything else of note before we get ourselves settled in?"
  208. [2013-12-07 04:03:10] <KendallKun> 4 Black Hooves shakes her head, as does Blue Skies, "Nothing else beyond good luck and you've never met either of us, understood?"
  209. [2013-12-07 04:04:05] <KendallKun> 4 After a little searching, Ginger_Ails finds Evergreen and the others, all sat outside looking around. They are all eating and looking to be in much better condition.
  210. [2013-12-07 04:04:06] * Ginger_Ails heads back to where they'd last seen the filly and the two adults.
  211. [2013-12-07 04:04:27] * Fleet_Fortune smirks. "Thanks. And crystal-clear."
  212. [2013-12-07 04:05:32] * Ginger_Ails smiles as he sees them. "Good to see you looking well." He smiles at the filly, ducking his head low as he nears. "How's my little nurse? You been keeping an eye on these two?"
  213. [2013-12-07 04:06:30] * Iris waves and tries not to look terrifying.
  214. [2013-12-07 04:07:52] <KendallKun> 4 Evergreen playfully jumps around Ginger_Ails, "Yes Doctor! I've been working really really hard!"
  215. [2013-12-07 04:09:34] * Ginger_Ails smiles. "I can tell! They look very healthy. And so do you." His horn lights and he levitates her up to eye level. "Now, let's take a quick look at that noggin, shall we?"
  216. [2013-12-07 04:10:05] <KendallKun> 4 She giggles and gives a little "Weee!" at being picked up, ready for her examination.
  217. [2013-12-07 04:11:12] <KendallKun> 4 Blue Skies motions for the group in his office to exit, settling down to work.
  218. [2013-12-07 04:12:34] * Ginger_Ails adopts a stern look. "Oh... oh my... this is serious." He makes a show of looking in the filly's ears. "Open and say 'ahhhhh', please."
  219. [2013-12-07 04:13:51] <KendallKun> 4 Evergreen blinks and does as she's told.
  220. [2013-12-07 04:14:58] <KendallKun> 4 Stellar and Bracer wave back to Iris.
  221. [2013-12-07 04:15:11] * Fleet_Fortune motions for Apricot_Tarts to follow her out of the office and look for the others.
  222. [2013-12-07 04:15:14] * Ginger_Ails adds a few 'mmm's and 'mhmmm's as he looks. "Nurse Evergreen... I'm afraid your head... is full of giggles." He smiles. "I've got to get them out!" He tosses her in the air, his magic more than strong enough to catch her.
  223. [2013-12-07 04:16:32] * Apricot_Tarts follows Fleet_Fortune "So what do you think of this? I like them wanting to stop the ship and all, but I doubt their motives are purely altruistic
  224. [2013-12-07 04:16:36] <Apricot_Tarts> *."
  225. [2013-12-07 04:18:21] <KendallKun> 4 Evergreen does giggle, very loudly at that too.
  226. [2013-12-07 04:19:29] * Ginger_Ails prances around, tossing and catching the filly a while before inverting her and holding her at head level upsidedown. His magic fluctuates, tickling her sides.
  227. [2013-12-07 04:19:43] * Fleet_Fortune rolls her eyes. "Of course it's not. They want to run the show. But they're much more likely to talk to the NCR, so their goals are our goals, right? And we even get something out of it ourselves."
  228. [2013-12-07 04:20:01] <KendallKun> 4 Evergreen continues to giggle louder, squirming in the air.
  229. [2013-12-07 04:20:58] * Ginger_Ails can't help but laugh himself. "Oh... Oh... I think that's just about all of them! What do /you/ think nurse?"
  230. [2013-12-07 04:21:30] <Apricot_Tarts> "I guess so."
  231. [2013-12-07 04:21:43] <KendallKun> 4 Giggles breathlessly, "I-I think so!"
  232. [2013-12-07 04:22:44] * Ginger_Ails flips her back over. He holds a foreleg out to the side as she nears the ground. "The only way to be sure is a hug test."
  233. [2013-12-07 04:23:19] <KendallKun> 4 Evergreen runs over for a hug, smiling away.
  234. [2013-12-07 04:24:07] * Ginger_Ails gives her a big hug. "hmmm.... You may need a second opinion." He turns his head toward Iris. "This is my friend. Don't let the armor scare you, she has to wear it to scare all the colts away. I think she could /really/ use a hug test."
  235. [2013-12-07 04:25:34] <Iris> "Careful, though. Some of these edges are sharp."
  236. [2013-12-07 04:26:01] <KendallKun> 4 Evergreen also gives Iris a big hug.
  237. [2013-12-07 04:26:19] * Iris carefully pats little filly with her metal hooves.
  238. [2013-12-07 04:26:55] * Ginger_Ails smirks. "That's true about the armor too." He turns Stellar and Bracer, trotting over. "You're all looking well. Do you mind?" He points to their injuries.
  239. [2013-12-07 04:26:57] * Fleet_Fortune asks the next guard she sees which way the others went.
  240. [2013-12-07 04:27:37] <KendallKun> 4 The two older ponies nod and let Ginger_Ails check them over.
  241. [2013-12-07 04:28:20] <KendallKun> 4 The guard points Fleet_Fortune and company in the right direction. As they start to walk, they become aware that Veil and Shroud are stood in front of them, blocking the hallway.
  242. [2013-12-07 04:28:37] * Ginger_Ails does so, smiling. "So, they took good care of you? I must admit I was a bit perturbed that they wisked you away before I could make sure you felt safe."
  243. [2013-12-07 04:30:16] <KendallKun> 4 Stellar chuckles, "The Mongrels do have a tendency to do that, but we were well looked after. They're the most accepting of ponies, I've found."
  244. [2013-12-07 04:31:33] * Ginger_Ails nods. "Well, I'm glad you're all alright. I'm a bit of a worrier." He speaks softer. "Why haven't you been escorted home yet? You're doing so well and Evergreen was missing her mother very much."
  245. [2013-12-07 04:32:59] * Fleet_Fortune eyes Veil and Shroud. "Excuse me, we have to get the rest of our group so we can leave."
  246. [2013-12-07 04:33:26] <KendallKun> 4 Bracer leans in, "The Iron Horns are really clamping down on this place, we try to get out of here they might attack. Worse still, that might attract the Authorities... and imagine the field day they'd have if they found you, sir."
  247. [2013-12-07 04:34:46] * Ginger_Ails sighs. "I suppose that would be unpleasant. Still, so many ponies out here seem not to care... I'll admit I don't quite understand that myself."
  248. [2013-12-07 04:35:25] <KendallKun> 4 The two black unicorns look at Fleet_Fortune, speaking one after another, "There is a lot here-" "-That many do not know." "But even in the darkest of darkness-" "-a bright light can help you find your way." They point to Fleet_Fortune's saddlebag and then vanish.
  249. [2013-12-07 04:36:40] * Fleet_Fortune blinks in confusion. Out of curiosity, she looks back through her saddlebags to see if anything is out of place.
  250. [2013-12-07 04:39:41] <KendallKun> 4 Bracer looks around and leans in, "The thing is, zonies are as rare as others would like to say. There are a fair few who have stripes from way back in their lineage... that and the Mongrels were a gang that started off from outcasts, or so the rumour goes." The first thing that Fleet_Fortune finds in her bag is the dossier given to her.
  251. [2013-12-07 04:41:32] * Ginger_Ails nods. "Name makes sense... but then why are there such a disportionate amount of pegasi? Is there a stigma on pegasi like there are on zonies?"
  252. [2013-12-07 04:42:24] <KendallKun> 4 Stellar frowns, "Long ago I think... I don't think anyone would know much about it aside from Mr Blue Skies."
  253. [2013-12-07 04:42:48] * Fleet_Fortune takes another quick glance at it. She's still pretty damn confused!
  254. [2013-12-07 04:43:03] <Iris> "Hm."
  255. [2013-12-07 04:43:21] <KendallKun> 4 The paper is the same as it was the last time she saw it.
  256. [2013-12-07 04:44:20] * Ginger_Ails nods. "But pegasi are generally not targetted like I would be now, right?"
  257. [2013-12-07 04:46:50] * Fleet_Fortune frowns and keeps looking through her bag to see if anything is different, or missing, more importantly! She's the only pony that's allowed to have quick hooves here!
  258. [2013-12-07 04:49:10] <KendallKun> 4 Bracer and Stellar glance at each other before the former replies, "There are rumours, somewhere in the Industrial district there are ponies that hunt pegasai. Nopony knows why, who they are, or anything like that. It's just every now and then a pegasus from there goes missing and is never heard of again."
  259. [2013-12-07 04:49:41] <KendallKun> 4 Fleet_Fortune finds that nothing has changed in her bag, everything's there and there's nothing new.
  260. [2013-12-07 04:50:26] * Ginger_Ails nods. "Thanks for telling me. I've got a good friend that's a pegasus. So, tell me, do you feel safer here? I'm sure I could convince my friends to get you back home. We got you here in one piece. If you feel safer here, I won't press."
  261. [2013-12-07 04:51:48] * Fleet_Fortune doesn't like this. "Those creepy... ugh." She closes her saddlebags again and just goes looking for the others.
  262. [2013-12-07 04:52:33] <KendallKun> 4 Bracer and Stellar nod, "It's probably safer here than at home to tell the truth. But thank you for everything."
