  1. [08:28.52] * Minimap hums cheerfully through her gas mask, bouncing. The small changeling not really visible through the bulky winterized gear she's wearing
  2. [08:45.19] * Noteworthy (SeekAnFind@New.And.Improved.Alicorn) has joined channel #DeadCityOps
  3. [08:45.19] * Emery_Fireshot (SeekAnFind@Pony-tvajs8.mpls.qwest.net) has joined channel #DeadCityOps
  4. [08:45.20] * ChanServ sets mode +v Noteworthy for #DeadCityOps
  5. [08:45.38] * Emery_Fireshot (SeekAnFind@Pony-tvajs8.mpls.qwest.net) Quit (Connection closed)
  6. [08:45.46] * Swept_Wing is just returning from a long day of work and is headed into his home in the Rainbow District. He pulls off his mask as he heads through the gate, sighing at the clean air. He takes a look around, pulling on his officer's cap, as he's still in his uniform.
  7. [08:49.57] * Minimap hums happily, crossing Swept_Wing's path, "Marmalade! Icing makes a good topping for a flatbread with rice!"
  8. [08:59.49] * Noteworthy (SeekAnFind@New.And.Improved.Alicorn) Quit (Quit: No frilly expectations, no lies, no false pretenses; this is where I can be so honestly, just honest me.)
  9. [09:02.31] * Swept_Wing flicks his ears, looking towards the bundle of clothing and chuckling a little. "Going shopping Lieutenant?" He asks Minimap, adjusting his glasses a little.
  10. [09:07.24] * Minimap flicks her ears, which is just a ruffle on her wintry hat. She looks over at Swept_Wing and freezes momentarily, then stiffens up, looks around, then back at Swept_Wing, "Senior Master Sergeant Swept Wing. What are you doing here?" She asks, "Namely, how did you survive?"
  11. [09:10.29] * Swept_Wing chuckles softly, his uniform now sporting silver bars on each of his shoulders with a triad of stars in the middle. "Staff Lieutenant now, actually, and I should pose the same question to you." He says with a grin.
  12. [09:13.41] * Minimap tilts her head, "What army ranked you up?" She shakes her head, "Nevermind, I survived through a stasis pod."
  13. [09:21.09] * Swept_Wing chuckles softly, starting to trot along towards his home, waving a wing for Minimap to follow. "A stasis pod, ahh. I survived through a tavern that was outside of time and space, heard of it before?" He asks, looking over to her.
  14. [09:30.34] * Minimap follows alongside Swept_Wing, rubbing her head, "I think I recognize a place like that... but it's... fuzzy."
  15. [09:32.54] * Swept_Wing nods to Minimap. "Yeah, but that's how I survived and why I'm here now." He says. "The Captain, well, Major Blackout now offered me and my squadron a position flying Vertibucks here for the Ded City Rangers." He taps the DCR patch on his uniform. "Been with 'em ever since, about 2 years now I think."
  16. [09:42.10] * Minimap nods, "Well, looks like you're doing well for yourself."
  17. [09:43.28] * Swept_Wing nods, turning down a side street towards a small, two-story home. He smiles at Minimap. "And you yourself. How long ago were you pulled out of stasis?"
  18. [09:46.26] * Minimap looks at the home, "... I'm not exactly sure how long."
  19. [09:47.15] * Swept_Wing trots towards it, pulling a key out of his pocket and unlocking the door. He looks back at Minimap. "Really? Was it a few weeks, months?"
  20. [09:48.56] * Minimap shrugs, "I don't know exactly."
  21. [09:51.11] * Swept_Wing nods to Minimap. "Fair enough." He says, opening the door and stepping inside, holding it open for Minimap. The entryway to his house is dark, though as Swept_Wing flicks on a light Minimap can see a hallway leading into a living room with a couch and a set of stairs going up to a second story. "And welcome to my home." He says. "Jury, you here?" He calls, and after a few moments of silence shrugs. "Must not be off of work yet."
  22. [09:56.14] * Minimap blinks and looks around, "... huh."
  23. [09:56.57] * Minimap goes over and sits on the couch, "You're married?"
  24. [09:58.15] * Swept_Wing waggles a wing at Minimap. "Engaged to be married yeah. The wedding is at the beginning of next month."
  25. [09:59.32] * Minimap smiles, "Congrats."
  26. [10:00.41] * Swept_Wing flops down onto the couch next to Minimap, tossing off his cap onto an end table and unbuttoning his uniform coat. "Thanks." He says, smiling. "Can I get you anything?"
  27. [10:01.11] * Minimap shakes her head, "I believe I'm fine."
  28. [10:04.10] * Swept_Wing nods to Minimap, getting up and taking his uniform coat off and hanging it up, unslinging his holdster with his revolver in it and setting it on the same table as his hat. He kicks his hooves up, sighing. "So, have you been doing alright here in Moosecow so far?"
  29. [10:05.16] * Minimap shrugs, "I... guess?" She seems slightly... worried
  30. [10:06.09] * Swept_Wing nods to Minimap, looking over at her. "Everything alright there Mini? You look worried."
  31. [10:07.53] * Minimap nods, sighing slightly, "Yeah, Yeah, I'm fine... nothing to worry about."
  32. [10:08.28] <Swept_Wing> "You sure?"
  33. [10:10.43] * Minimap closes her eyes and lays back on the couch, "Y-yeah. yeah."
  34. [10:13.27] * Swept_Wing frowns slightly. "You don't look like it Mini." He says. "It's alright, whatever it is you can tell me, we used to be friends remember?"
  35. [10:15.11] * Minimap shakes her head, "no, not really. It's hard to explain."
  36. [10:16.16] * Swept_Wing chuckles. "Alright, I was really trying to make friends with you but you weren't having any of it, blah blah protocol." He smiles at her. "And just tell me, I can listen."
  37. [10:18.10] * Minimap shrugs, "My memory's been fuzzy ever since I left the pod. It's bizzare, but I remember everything clearly before I entered the pod."
  38. [10:19.08] * Swept_Wing nods to Minimap. "Anything odd happen right before you entered?"
  39. [10:22.13] * Minimap shrugs and shakes her head, "No, not really, I was just speaking with General Lionheart, he was convincing me to go into stasis... I could feel his heart breaking too..." She sighs, "But then I went under, I'm not sure exactly what happened, but it seemed like I wasn't exactly knocked uncontious, at least it seemed that way for quite a long while, but then nothing."
  40. [10:23.32] * Swept_Wing nods to Minimap, hmmming. "Well, I'd say we get you to Doctor Antidote, he's the chief medical officer for the DCR, buck's a genius, if a crazy one."
  41. [10:24.24] * Minimap shrugs, "I feel fine though, other than the memory issues."
  42. [10:24.44] <Swept_Wing> "Still, better safe than sorry right?"
  43. [10:27.04] * Minimap shrugs again, "I suppose, but it's really fine, I'm sure."
  44. [10:31.00] * Swept_Wing nods to Minimap, smiling. "Alright." He sighs, stretching out his wings. "Murf."
  45. [10:32.39] * Minimap looks over Swept_Wing a moment, then smirks, "I wonder how your fiance will react to a female changeling in your home."
  46. [10:34.43] * Swept_Wing looks over at Minimap, chuckling. "Well as long as you don't try anything I'm sure it'll be fine, we're friends aren't we?"
  47. [10:36.21] * Minimap nods, "I suppose we are. You're the first one I recognize."
  48. [10:37.52] * Swept_Wing nods to Minimap. "You remember 20/20 right? And the rest of my squadron?"
  49. [10:39.01] * Minimap nods, "I do. Though I wasn't familiar with many of them, for obvious reasons."
  50. [10:39.37] * Swept_Wing nods to Minimap. "Well they're all here, and 20 is my new XO, he's a 2nd Lieutenant now."
  51. [10:40.12] * Minimap blinks, "Really? When did you all go through officer training?"
  52. [10:43.52] <Swept_Wing> "Well my promotion to 2nd Lieutenant was a field promotion by the Major, and I've been promoted again since then. Staff LT is equivilent to a 1st LT. 20/20 was in the same boat, we needed an XO, and he was promoted. You can ask Blackout, we've both proven ourselves as more than capable officers."
  53. [10:47.15] * Minimap shrugs and shakes her head, "That's fairly believeable with the way the world is now, but it's not quite following protocol."
  54. [10:48.10] * Swept_Wing laughs. "Just wait until you meet Blackout, your sense of protocol will go right out the window.
  55. [10:48.15] <Swept_Wing> "
  56. [10:50.31] * Minimap blinks, looking skeptical, "How could he become a major if he doesn't follow basic protocol?"
  57. [10:51.28] <Swept_Wing> "Because the protocol you're used to back during the war doesn't mean dick here. It's a completely different world, a completely different system. Hell, the highest rank we even have is a Colonel."
  58. [10:52.31] * Minimap looks surprised, "Are you serious? a Colonel? Are they just lacking the pony power?"
  59. [10:57.16] * Swept_Wing shakes his head. "Well, the DCR is part of the NFA, the Northern Federal Alliance. It's lead by a Govenor General and a council. The DCR is the special forces group of the NFA, and has about 200 ponies. The Crimson Guard is the main military force and has about 2000 ponies. The whole thing is lead by Colonel Ice Shear. We just don't have a need for a general."
  60. [10:57.57] <Swept_Wing> "Things here work very differently Mini."
  61. [11:02.04] * Minimap rubs her head and sighs, "Is this even... I suppose not... too good to be true I guess."
  62. [11:02.35] * Swept_Wing chuckles softly, shrugging.
  63. [11:02.56] <Swept_Wing> "Maybe maybe not."
  64. [11:08.51] <Swept_Wing> ---Paused---
