  1. [2012-07-14 17:36:27] <Zeph|GM> %C3As you enter the three-quarter-flooded hangar bay of the Altostratus you are greeted by a looping, automated message, sounding from above in a firm, but soothing mare-voice, "...-e hangar-deck battery-control. -This is an automated message: There has been a terminal failure in ~'all systems'~."
  2. [2012-07-14 17:36:27] <Zeph|GM> %C3"Emergency power is active and at ~'seventy-six'~ percent. EM-bulkheads D1-1 through D1-5 have been sealed. EM-bulkheads D2-1 through D2-3 have been sealed. Further EM-bulkheads not responding. Ship-internal comms are not responding. Ship-external comms are not responding. Status of Commander ~'Ice Break'~: Unknown. Status of Major ~'Torch'~: Unknown."
  3. [2012-07-14 17:36:27] <Zeph|GM> %C3"Remain calm and evacuate the aircraft through the hangar doors. Non-pegasus crew-members will find their 'Slow-Fall-Harness' in the yellow-and-black marked compartments near the stairwell, by the hangar-deck battery-control."
  4. [2012-07-14 17:37:43] * Blastwave looks around the ruined and flooded deck. "It's just /so/ good to be home."
  5. [2012-07-14 17:39:39] * Clipped_Cantle looks around, then up where the message is coming from, then looks at Blastwave. "What's this about bulkheads?"
  6. [2012-07-14 17:40:06] * Blastwave looks at Clipped_Cantle, "They are not responding."
  7. [2012-07-14 17:40:59] * Clipped_Cantle nods. "Well, yeah, that's what she said. That mean we won't be able to get into some places? Like wherever they keep the medical supplies?"
  8. [2012-07-14 17:41:01] * Kirengo hovers in. "Non-pegasus crew-members?"
  9. [2012-07-14 17:41:21] * Precious listens to the message; "If they're supposed to evacuate through the hangar doors, won't they come straight through here?"
  10. [2012-07-14 17:43:49] * Blastwave rolls her eyes, "Medical supplies are a floor above us, pony genetics are weird sometimes non-pegasi happen, and why would anypony be evactuating now a day after a crash. If the bulkheads aren't responding the one way something will be out of reach is if it's under water.: he leads them towards the stairs looking somehwat distraught
  11. [2012-07-14 17:45:12] * Clipped_Cantle follows Blastwave.
  12. [2012-07-14 17:45:57] <Zeph|GM> %C3The actual stairs in the stairwell are rather narrow and lined with a guardrail to stop the careless from plummeting into the main shaft, obviously meant for pegasi to fly up and down in a more expedient manner. The entire interior further in than the hangar bay is lit by dim, green emergency lighting talismans, making the contours of everything illuminated sharp and clearly visible.
  13. [2012-07-14 17:46:56] * Blastwave flys up the stairs, "Careful." the way the ship was leaning he imagined the non-flying ponies in the group were going to have some difficulty
  14. [2012-07-14 17:47:06] * Kirengo follows towards the stairs. "Shouldn't we check to see if anyone is still alive before we get too far in?"
  15. [2012-07-14 17:47:32] * Kirengo follows Blastwave up, he was not letting the ghoul out of his sights in case he really was going to betray them.
  16. [2012-07-14 17:47:40] * Moonlight`s_Shimmer is there >.>
  17. [2012-07-14 17:47:54] * Clipped_Cantle climbs up the stairs.
  18. [2012-07-14 17:48:26] * Blastwave "Did you see all that water? We're pegasi not sea pony, anyone on that level is already dead. We'll have better luck upstairs."
  19. [2012-07-14 17:48:38] <Zeph|GM> %C3The dim, emergency-lit hallways are both tall and wide and are built to allow pegs to traverse the ship quickly by flying, as well as allowing ground-bound species to traverse the inside of the ship. Wide, steel sliding-doors line the sides of the passages in varying distances. Heavy, enchanted, EM-bulkheads can be seen in some passages, blocking off access to areas of the ship.
  20. [2012-07-14 17:48:38] <Zeph|GM> %C3Current Deck: 1 http://imgur.com/a/PRSWg#1
  21. [2012-07-14 17:49:32] * Precious looks to Blastwave, then around; "Any markings or map or anything to point us to the medical bay. That was our priority."
  22. [2012-07-14 17:50:34] * Blastwave "I've worked on a raptor for years, I know where fucking medical is." He looks around the floor. It was... better. "This way." he starts down the hallway towards the medical bay moving more by instinct than anything else
  23. [2012-07-14 17:51:09] * Moonlight`s_Shimmer follows behind everyone, her mood not having improved
  24. [2012-07-14 17:51:22] * Kirengo follows Blastwave at a short distance.
  25. [2012-07-14 17:51:53] * Clipped_Cantle nods and keeps following Blastwave.
  26. [2012-07-14 17:52:05] <Zeph|GM> %C3The door they arrive at is shut.
  27. [2012-07-14 17:52:57] * Blastwave knocks on the door... then tries to open it
  28. [2012-07-14 17:54:50] * Precious has difficulty following because of the slanted floor, but isn't going to let a little lean get in her way. After the got their supplies she would have Blastwave take her up to wherever the control room of the ship was and she would try to get her answers
  29. [2012-07-14 17:55:57] <Zeph|GM> %C3There's heavy hoofsteps on the other side of the door. Clipped_Cantle and Kirengo are oblivious and Blastwave and Precious can clearly identify them as power armor - four of them.
  30. [2012-07-14 17:56:17] * Blastwave ears twitch
  31. [2012-07-14 17:56:25] * Precious comes to a stop, nearly slippign down the slant; "There's ponies in there;" she hisses.
  32. [2012-07-14 17:56:34] * Moonlight`s_Shimmer cocks her head "We believe someone is on the other side"
  33. [2012-07-14 17:57:40] <Zeph|GM> %C3There's muffled voices behind the door, before it groans and slides open under emergency power.
  34. [2012-07-14 17:57:40] <Zeph|GM> %C3The Medical bay is arguably the largest room in the entire ship, if you don't count the hallways. It's divided into sections, filled with medical machines, rendered useless by lack of power, hospital beds. The beds that contain injured, but alive pegasi are being tended to by the yellow-uniformed medical officers.
  35. [2012-07-14 17:57:40] <Zeph|GM> %C3A squad of four Power Armored pegasi are standing on the other side of the doorway with their side-mounted Energy Weapons ready, a blue-uniformed pegasus with a Magipistol in her muzzle behind them. The far right, armored pegasus steps forward and says in a shaky helmet voice, notably more distorted than that of the Rangers,
  36. [2012-07-14 17:57:40] <Zeph|GM> %C3"What in tartarus are you doing here!? Contaminants!"
  37. [2012-07-14 17:57:40] <Zeph|GM> %C3The mare behind them says something, but it's muffled by the gun in her mouth.
  38. [2012-07-14 17:58:33] * Blastwave says reluctantly, "Four, power armour.... try not to shoot first." his voice is sounding more gravelly today. "You." he points at the mare. "I am 2nd Lt. Blastwave, What is the situation?"
  39. [2012-07-14 17:59:08] * Moonlight`s_Shimmer doesn't say anything, but looks on from behind everyone else
  40. [2012-07-14 17:59:15] * Kirengo "Oh sh-" he flaps his way up to the top of the hallway to try and remain out of sight from those inside the room.
  41. [2012-07-14 17:59:39] * Clipped_Cantle eyes the power armor and keeps her mouth well away from her trigger reign.
  42. [2012-07-14 18:00:09] <Zeph|GM> %C3The mare blinks and recoils slightly from Blastwave, nearly dropping her gun, her eyes wide.
  43. [2012-07-14 18:00:10] * Precious stares daggers into the room. These were the ponies that had destroyed her childhood home. However, they had them completely outgunned, and she would gain no answers in her current state of barely contained rage
  44. [2012-07-14 18:00:38] * Blastwave gives a ghoulish glare, "Well? Answer me!"
  45. [2012-07-14 18:01:18] * Moonlight`s_Shimmer looks over the powered armored ponies and into the room curiously
  46. [2012-07-14 18:01:26] <Zeph|GM> %C3One of the armored pegasi steps forward, growling, "Who are you and what are you doing here?"
  47. [2012-07-14 18:02:50] <Moonlight`s_Shimmer> "You have wounded. We believe our friend Clipped could help you tend them. We mean you no harm"
  48. [2012-07-14 18:02:56] * Blastwave looks over at the power armoued pegasi, "I am 2nd. Lt Blastwave, these are a group of wastelanders. Now if you would tell us what the fucking situation is maybe we could help."
  49. [2012-07-14 18:03:55] * Moonlight`s_Shimmer flinches slightly as she is referred to as a wastelander
  50. [2012-07-14 18:04:28] * Precious isn't doing the talking because she was pissed, but if not for the big guns, she would have had some choice words for these ponies
  51. [2012-07-14 18:04:43] * Clipped_Cantle glances at Moonlight`s_Shimmer and grumbles a little. She hadn't really planned on helping these particular ponies... but if it kept them from getting riddled with lasers...
  52. [2012-07-14 18:05:08] <Zeph|GM> %C3The pegasus turns to Blastwave, "What the fuck are you? ; and the damn situation is we were shot down for refusing to fire on the city. Almost everyone not sealed behind the bulkheads is here; anyone outside is probably dead."
  53. [2012-07-14 18:05:58] * Blastwave looks a bit shocked, "Why were you ordered to fire on the city?"
  54. [2012-07-14 18:06:19] * Kirengo blinks and drops from the cieling back onto the floor and looks at the armored ponies.
  55. [2012-07-14 18:06:42] * Precious blinks... stopped firing? Why the hell were they firing on the city in the first place?!
  56. [2012-07-14 18:07:01] <Zeph|GM> %C3The pony makes an effort to look at Blastwave, but fails subtly, "Smoke out Radar, the Dashite."
  57. [2012-07-14 18:07:43] * Blastwave "What the fuck? All those for one Dashite?"
  58. [2012-07-14 18:07:46] * Kirengo says quietly, "I hope you failed..."
  59. [2012-07-14 18:07:51] <Kirengo> they*
  60. [2012-07-14 18:08:14] * Clipped_Cantle blinks. They attacked... this city... to get at... one pony? She growls a little and shakes her head. Fuck the Enclave... but these ones refused...
  61. [2012-07-14 18:08:29] <Zeph|GM> %C3The pegasus shakes his head at Kirengo, "I have no idea; ship kinda fucking crashed."
  62. [2012-07-14 18:09:43] * Blastwave "Can we assist?"
  63. [2012-07-14 18:09:47] * Precious finally snaps. "One pony? You attacked a city full of innocents, my childhood home, you completely destroyed nearly a thousand lives FOR ONE PONY?!" She screams the last part
  64. [2012-07-14 18:10:34] * Blastwave turns back, "THEY DID NOT! THEY REFUSED TO!"
  65. [2012-07-14 18:10:48] * Moonlight`s_Shimmer groans
  66. [2012-07-14 18:11:18] <Zeph|GM> %C3The mare finally holsters her pistol, "Shut up! All of you!" She turns to Precious, "Why are you here!?"
  67. [2012-07-14 18:11:20] * Precious stares down Blastwave; "Tell that to the smoking craters that used to be innocent civillians. I'm sure they'll take al ot of consolation in it."
  68. [2012-07-14 18:12:18] * Blastwave gets up in Precious face, "Fine. I will them these brave souls sacrificed their lives for the sake of ponies they never met. They're fucking heroes, and desevre some respect."
  69. [2012-07-14 18:12:40] * Precious turns on the mare who addressed her and barks her response; "To find out what the fuck happened, that's what. Why the city I grew up in and that was one of the safest places the wasteland had was blown apart! And the best you can do is say you were after ONE PONY?!"
  70. [2012-07-14 18:12:41] * Moonlight`s_Shimmer facewings
  71. [2012-07-14 18:13:31] * Blastwave does not think precious is listening she he shoves at her, "They were shot down trying to protect the city you grew up in! Or can all you see is their wings!?'
  72. [2012-07-14 18:13:36] * Precious is seething; it's very not lile her
  73. [2012-07-14 18:14:02] <Zeph|GM> %C3The mare stomps a hoof, ruffling her wings and snaps at Precious, "If ya wanna know that ask the fucking Commander! Now get out of my medbay!"
  74. [2012-07-14 18:15:37] * Clipped_Cantle sighs and shakes her head, looking at the mare. "Another thing, at least on /my/ list, was to look for medical supplies to /help/ the ponies outside."
  75. [2012-07-14 18:15:56] * Precious snorts at Blastwave; "These are not heores. They are accessories to the murder of almost a thousand ponies. So what if they stopped shooting halfway; they still started shooting in the first place. They didn't do anything to stop this slaughter except only marginally increase the death toll."
  76. [2012-07-14 18:16:44] * Kirengo looks over at Precious. "They got shot down! By their own military! Looks like they did everything in their power to stop it!"
  77. [2012-07-14 18:17:10] * Blastwave "You sees these injured. They are because they tried to stop the slaughter. You want me to take you into the flooded ship so you can see the dead too?! I get it, you're racist, but you could have at least have the common curtesy to be subtle about IT!"
  78. [2012-07-14 18:17:25] * Clipped_Cantle snorts. "Precious. I get you're upset, but pissing off the ponies holding the supplies we need to help your town isn't the smartest idea."
  79. [2012-07-14 18:17:32] * Moonlight`s_Shimmer groans and facewings again
  80. [2012-07-14 18:18:10] * Precious turns on Kirengo; "Bullshit. If they really wanted to stop this, they'd have done mroe than just stop shooting. Oh yeah, they didn't kill as many innocnet ponies as they could have. Let's throw them a fucking party!"
  81. [2012-07-14 18:19:49] <Zeph|GM> %C3The mare turns to Clipped_Cantle, "I wanna get outside, too, before th-" She stops, "You help us not get dead and I'll help you with what we have left - deal?"
  82. [2012-07-14 18:20:21] * Clipped_Cantle tilts her head. "Maybe. Before the what?"
  83. [2012-07-14 18:20:43] * Kirengo "They got! shot! down! Do you really think they could've done anymore than they did?! Now you either calm down or get out!"
  84. [2012-07-14 18:20:45] * Blastwave looks like he's about to smack precious but just turns away seething
  85. [2012-07-14 18:22:55] <Zeph|GM> %C3The armored ponies exchange looks and seem to be debating over their suit-comms. You can't pick out what they are talking about.
  86. [2012-07-14 18:24:20] <Zeph|GM> %C3The mare scowls, "Is that a yes or a no?"
  87. [2012-07-14 18:24:31] * Blastwave "Yes."
  88. [2012-07-14 18:25:00] * Clipped_Cantle sighs. "Look, I can't help you stay alive if I don't know everything that's going on. I want to, but I can't promise that if something I don't know about bites us in the flank."
  89. [2012-07-14 18:25:56] <Zeph|GM> %C3One of the armored ponies addresses Clipped_Cantle, "Don't worry yourself about it. It doesn't concern, or affect you."
  90. [2012-07-14 18:26:05] * Precious fumes, then turns to the pony who seemed to be in charge; "There is no chance in hell that I'm helping a bunch of mass murderers. You all deserve what you get." She storms out of the medical bay and finds the most stable corner to seat herself in. She buries her head in her legs and jsut starts sobbing
  91. [2012-07-14 18:26:53] * Clipped_Cantle glowers at the armored pony. "Fine. I'll do what I can, but if whatever this is comes back to bite us it's on you, not me."
  92. [2012-07-14 18:26:59] * Blastwave watches Precious leave and seems almost errily calm.
  93. [2012-07-14 18:29:19] <Zeph|GM> %C3The mare is still scowling, "I need ya to talk with the Major about the emergency-lockdown. We have friends behind those bulkheads."
  94. [2012-07-14 18:30:13] * Kirengo "Where's he?"
  95. [2012-07-14 18:31:48] <Zeph|GM> %C3The mare huffs at Kirengo, "On tha bridge of course, CIC, whatever. Tell her Doctor Patch sent you."
  96. [2012-07-14 18:32:33] * Kirengo rolls his eyes and looks at Blastwave. "And where's that?"
  97. [2012-07-14 18:32:37] * Blastwave looks at the gathered ponies and leaves the medical bay and waits to lead them there
  98. [2012-07-14 18:33:00] =-= Kirengo is now known as Frost
  99. [2012-07-14 18:33:05] =-= Frost is now known as Kirengo
  100. [2012-07-14 18:33:24] * Clipped_Cantle follows Blastwave out.
  101. [2012-07-14 18:33:37] * Kirengo never entered and is waiting for Blastwave to lead the way.
  102. [2012-07-14 18:34:50] * Blastwave doesn't look to see if anyone is following and silently leads the group back to the main stairwell
  103. [2012-07-14 18:34:50] * Precious is still sobbing in a corner
  104. [2012-07-14 18:35:49] * Moonlight`s_Shimmer gets up and stops looking down at Precious. She sits down next to the mare "We are leaving Precious"
  105. [2012-07-14 18:36:14] * Precious is unresponsive
  106. [2012-07-14 18:36:39] * Clipped_Cantle sighs at Precious and continues after Blastwave. Don't have time for this right now.
  107. [2012-07-14 18:36:54] <Zeph|GM> %C3There is a loud, repeated clanging noise coming from a corridor, resounding at a deafening volume every forty seconds or so.
  108. [2012-07-14 18:36:54] <Zeph|GM> %C3Current Deck: 2 (Kirengo, Blastwave, Clipped) imgur.com/a/PRSWg#2
  109. [2012-07-14 18:37:08] * Blastwave does not look likes her going to wait for her
  110. [2012-07-14 18:37:10] * Moonlight`s_Shimmer doesn't know what else to do so she levitates out a bottle in front of Precious, silently offering it to her
  111. [2012-07-14 18:37:43] * Kirengo recoils from the noise. "What the buck is -that-?"
  112. [2012-07-14 18:38:07] * Precious shoves the bottle away, although her own TK is questionable next to Moon's
  113. [2012-07-14 18:38:10] * Blastwave looks around the deck, and shrugs. he then looks back towards the stairwell and up singnalling the direction they are suppose to go
  114. [2012-07-14 18:38:55] * Clipped_Cantle nods at Blastwave, then heads up the stairs.
  115. [2012-07-14 18:39:00] * Kirengo snarls slightly at the noise but follows Blastwave up.
  116. [2012-07-14 18:39:18] * Moonlight`s_Shimmer shrugs and chugs the bottle down herself, setting it down on the floor. She just sits next to Precious and lets her cry. She didn't know what else to do.
  117. [2012-07-14 18:39:22] * Blastwave didn't actually go up, and was simply pointing the way unless they wanted to investiage
  118. [2012-07-14 18:39:34] <Blastwave> investiagate
  119. [2012-07-14 18:39:45] <Clipped_Cantle> (redact then...)
  120. [2012-07-14 18:40:10] <Precious> The bottle presumably rolls down t he slanted floor
  121. [2012-07-14 18:41:28] <Moonlight`s_Shimmer> "We are not letting you run around here by yourself"
  122. [2012-07-14 18:41:49] * Precious grumbles; "Wasn't running anywhere."
  123. [2012-07-14 18:42:08] * Blastwave waits to see if they want to go find the noise, or go up
  124. [2012-07-14 18:43:30] * Kirengo wants to go see about the noise but he also wants to talk to the Major, and he has no idea what Blastwave is waiting for if he doesn't say anything.
  125. [2012-07-14 18:43:57] * Blastwave shrugs and lets the noise continue and goes up the stairs once mpre
  126. [2012-07-14 18:43:58] <Blastwave> more
  127. [2012-07-14 18:44:25] * Clipped_Cantle heads up the stairs. That noise wasn't going to get them their medical supplies.
  128. [2012-07-14 18:44:55] * Kirengo follows Blastwave up. They could check on the noise on the way back down.
  129. [2012-07-14 18:45:38] * Moonlight`s_Shimmer does not say anything for a long time
  130. [2012-07-14 18:47:47] <Moonlight`s_Shimmer> "We understand your hate"
  131. [2012-07-14 18:47:48] <Zeph|GM> %C3You find yourself up on the fourth level of the ship, in a rectangular room, leading to the open door to the CIC.
  132. [2012-07-14 18:48:14] * Blastwave walks over to the cic and steps out of the way to let Clipped_Cantle knock
  133. [2012-07-14 18:49:31] * Clipped_Cantle glances at Blastwave then shrugs and moves to the doorway, glancing inside... hopefully she didn't get shot for this... "Major? Doctor Patch sent us..."
  134. [2012-07-14 18:49:45] * Precious gets to her hooves, looking like a mess. Her tears had demolished the small touch of makeup she had been wearing, and her eyes were bloodshot. "The ponies of Friendship City didn't deserve any of this. There is no justification. At all."
  135. [2012-07-14 18:52:35] <Zeph|GM> %C3The windowless, poorly lit room is laid out in an octagon, the walls lined with blank scrying-screens and banks with inactive terminals. Standing next to one of the three pegasi working on said terminals is a blue pegasus in power armor. Blastwave can easily recognize the Major's rank.
  136. [2012-07-14 18:53:23] * Blastwave recognizes the rank and salutes
  137. [2012-07-14 18:54:04] * Moonlight`s_Shimmer stands up with Precious "War is a terrible thing. It always has been. We can remember..." she rubs her forehead with a wing and tries to think "Things. About the big war. Miscommunications happened. A side would bombard their allies accidently, due to a miscommunication or forged intelligence." she blinks "We...it is hard trying to remember" she lets out a sigh "We should catch up
  138. [2012-07-14 18:54:04] * Moonlight`s_Shimmer with the others"
  139. [2012-07-14 18:54:20] <Zeph|GM> %C3The Major turns around to face Clipped_Cantle, only her head visible above the panel, "Who are you? Patch sent you? Why; what are groundsiders doing here?"
  140. [2012-07-14 18:55:25] * Blastwave "S-Second Lt. Blastwave S-sir."
  141. [2012-07-14 18:56:07] * Precious looks at Moonlight firmly; "These ponies deserve exactly what they got. Doing nothing and acting like they're heroes for it is utter bullshit. But that means if I sit around here and do nothing, I'm nothing but a hyprocrite."
  142. [2012-07-14 18:57:26] * Clipped_Cantle takes a step into the CIC. "She said she would share medical supplies with us, so we could help the wounded outside, if we helped. Said something about an 'emergency lockdown'. That there are ponies trapped behind 'bulkheads'?"
  143. [2012-07-14 18:57:41] <Zeph|GM> %C3Torch twitches and trots around the panel, revealing a set of flamethrowers on her armor. She points a wing at Blastwave, "And what the fuck is that?"
  144. [2012-07-14 18:57:55] * Moonlight`s_Shimmer wingshrugs "We do not have an opinion on the matter, but we believe you are correct on that last part. What we do know is that the title of 'hero' is not all it is made out to be"
  145. [2012-07-14 18:58:49] * Blastwave winces, "I-i am Enclave. I was with the thunderhead when... 2nd Lt. Blastwave Recon..."
  146. [2012-07-14 18:58:51] * Clipped_Cantle eyes the flamethrowers. Shit shit shit. In these close quarters they didn't stand a chance against something like that.
  147. [2012-07-14 19:03:41] <Zeph|GM> %C3Torch nods at Clipped_Cantle, "Yeah, there's an auto-lockdown in effect." She gestures to the ponies working on the terminals, "Working on that. I can let you try to help, but I think you're better served in finding a way to assist the sinking team if you really want to earn those supplies."
  148. [2012-07-14 19:04:21] * Clipped_Cantle blinks. "Sinking team?" Likely she would be... she knew nothing about terminals and stuff.
  149. [2012-07-14 19:04:56] <Zeph|GM> %C3Torch looks to Blastwave, "You're a walking corpse; none of those in the Enclave; 'contaminated' is the term."
  150. [2012-07-14 19:06:11] * Blastwave grits his teeth together. "I... I'm..." he starts shaking and turns around out of the room and goes to sit beside the door to the stairwell.
  151. [2012-07-14 19:09:15] <Zeph|GM> %C3Torch looks to Clipped_Cantle, "Sparkwing and Ice Break are dead and with the lockdown we're gonna be forced ta sink the ship when we leave."
  152. [2012-07-14 19:09:19] * Clipped_Cantle glances back at Blastwave. Fuck... She sighs and looks back at Torch. Focus, Clipped. There were hurt ponies counting on you.
  153. [2012-07-14 19:09:54] * Blastwave is staring at his rotten hoof
  154. [2012-07-14 19:12:08] * Kirengo looks at Blastwave and watches him walk out. Oh... no... Not the time... not the time ghoulie... He turns around and walks out behind Blastwave and watches him stare at his hoof. "I'm not going to say I told you so."
  155. [2012-07-14 19:12:50] * Blastwave turns his hoof around getting a good long look. "What am I?"
  156. [2012-07-14 19:13:54] * Precious sighs; "The ponies here deserved what they got, but just standing by and letting the death toll climb isn't what my friends would do. It isn't what I would do. At least, the pony I used to be. I don't even know who I am anymore."
  157. [2012-07-14 19:14:34] * Kirengo "You're a ghoul pegasus. You died in the balefire but you're held together by radiation and whatever necromantic energies are in that balefire. You'll never die of old age, one little benefit at least."
  158. [2012-07-14 19:15:23] * Clipped_Cantle nods at Torch. "And... how do you plan to do that?" Be easier than lifting it /out/ of the water, for sure. Clear out the area so the bridge can be rebuilt.
  159. [2012-07-14 19:15:45] <Moonlight`s_Shimmer> "We do not know who we are either"
  160. [2012-07-14 19:16:11] * Blastwave just keeps looking at his hoof. "I died for them. I gave them my life. Since I was a colt... I gave them /everything/. Even my death..." he keeps shaking. "They will never have me back." He hissed
  161. [2012-07-14 19:17:39] <Zeph|GM> %C3Torch wing-shrugs, "Blow it up, of course. It's already dangerously close to coming apart on it's own. Main reason we're still here is Patch, so if she's finally decided to be ready to leave this deathtrap; then fine by me."
  162. [2012-07-14 19:18:04] * Kirengo looks around quickly, hoping nobody inside the CIC was watching them. This was going bad quick... "No, they won't. But you're not the only ghoul. There's ghouls all over the wasteland."
  163. [2012-07-14 19:19:21] * Precious sighs; "Regardless of who or what I'm becoming, if my friends and family are still alive, then we need to help them and the rest of the survivors. I lost sight of that because I was just... so angry."
  164. [2012-07-14 19:19:53] <Zeph|GM> %C3Torch metallyically steps towards the door, "Join the fuckin' club. Won't have anyone here back either."
  165. [2012-07-14 19:19:53] <Moonlight`s_Shimmer> "We understand"
  166. [2012-07-14 19:20:31] * Blastwave doesn't want to be a ghoul. He didn't want to live in the wasteland. He didn't want any of this, and he especially didn't want some Zebra's sympathys. He just wanted to go home. He doesn't even seem to register Torch's words.
  167. [2012-07-14 19:21:38] * Clipped_Cantle nods. "Sounded like she is. Alright. How do we go about this? I know as much about explosives as I do terminals..." She glances back at Blastwave. Of course... the one pony that seemed to know something about them...
  168. [2012-07-14 19:21:40] * Precious snorts; "I can't forgive these ponies, not ever... but I couldn't forgive myself either if I became what they or their former allies are."
  169. [2012-07-14 19:22:41] * Moonlight`s_Shimmer nods "We should find the others and try to help. The medical supplies would benefit the survivors greatly"
  170. [2012-07-14 19:23:27] * Kirengo glances at Torch then looks back to Blastwave. "Enclave didn't just betray you. It betrays everyone who goes against their orders. You're not down here all alone."
  171. [2012-07-14 19:24:08] <Zeph|GM> %C3Torch turns to Clipped_Cantle, "We're gonna put all the stuff left in the armory and rig it together. Double the efficiency, because the psyco-groundsiders won't ever get them that way."
  172. [2012-07-14 19:25:27] * Precious nods; "Where did they go?"
  173. [2012-07-14 19:25:30] * Blastwave "They wont have me either. No one will. I am just a monster." He stands up on shaky legs and starts to descend the staircase not really looking where he is going
  174. [2012-07-14 19:25:37] * Moonlight`s_Shimmer points a wing "That way"
  175. [2012-07-14 19:26:16] * Precious nods and lets her lead the way, since the flier was more agile in the air than she was on the slanted floor
  176. [2012-07-14 19:27:03] * Moonlight`s_Shimmer trots down the hallway in the direction Blastwave and everyone else went. She has no idea where she's going.
  177. [2012-07-14 19:28:17] * Clipped_Cantle blinks. Right... all those weapons... She sighs. A waste, they could do so much good. "Do we really need to use them all?"
  178. [2012-07-14 19:29:35] <Zeph|GM> %C3Torch shrugs, "Many of them are still locked away because of the lockdown. We're using what we have access to."
  179. [2012-07-14 19:29:52] * Blastwave is not really looking where he is going and trips down the flight of stairs rolling to a stop on the floor precious and Moonlight`s_Shimmer are on
  180. [2012-07-14 19:30:22] * Moonlight`s_Shimmer blinks as Blastwave lands in front of her "Are you alright Blastwave?"
  181. [2012-07-14 19:30:44] * Clipped_Cantle facehoofs. "Right. Why the hell is there a lockdown anyway?"
  182. [2012-07-14 19:30:47] * Kirengo looks back at Clipped_Cantle. "We -really- need to keep an eye on Blastwave. I'm not kidding."
  183. [2012-07-14 19:31:23] * Clipped_Cantle turns to Kirengo. "What do you mean?"
  184. [2012-07-14 19:31:47] * Kirengo "You know how there's ghouls and then there's the zombie ones? Feral?"
  185. [2012-07-14 19:32:00] * Blastwave is a bit shaken by his fall, but was sort of expecting it. Whats next, a wall was going to crash on him? why not. He looks up at Moonlight`s_Shimmer and... /her/. He glares at precious and snarls his eyes getting dialated
  186. [2012-07-14 19:32:19] * Clipped_Cantle nods, then blinks. "Ah... shit. You mean he's...?"
  187. [2012-07-14 19:32:21] <Zeph|GM> %C3Torch shrugs again, slowly getting a little impatient, "You'd have to ask a skyguard member that; I train and lead troops."
  188. [2012-07-14 19:32:26] * Moonlight`s_Shimmer blinks "Blastwave?"
  189. [2012-07-14 19:33:35] * Kirengo "I mean feral ghouls are formerly sane ghouls, and he is messed up in the head right now." He turns and lifts into the air to fly down the stairs to keep said eye on Blastwave.
  190. [2012-07-14 19:33:55] * Precious suspects Blastwave's glares are based on her earlier ranting. She wasn't about to apologize for telling the truth, so she loosk past to him to see if the others were coming.
  191. [2012-07-14 19:34:43] * Moonlight`s_Shimmer watches Kirengo fly down and cocks her head
  192. [2012-07-14 19:34:46] * Blastwave tackles Precious and tries to pin her down. As her snarls drops of saliva fall from his mouth
  193. [2012-07-14 19:35:19] * Clipped_Cantle curses. They were likely going to need him... She looks at Torch. "Ok, ok. Give us a minute." She takes off after Kirengo and heads downstairs.
  194. [2012-07-14 19:35:28] * Moonlight`s_Shimmer 's eyes go wide and she immediately flies at Blastwave, trying to tackle him off of Precious
  195. [2012-07-14 19:36:45] * Kirengo "Oh no you don't!" He flies to do a literal flying tackle to get Blast off of Precious.
  196. [2012-07-14 19:37:00] * Precious is caught completely off guard by Blastwave's pounce. Despite being necrotic, the ghoul was stronger than she was and she was easily pinned. She screams
  197. [2012-07-14 19:39:20] * Clipped_Cantle winces at Precious' scream and picks up her pace, soon arriving at the scene.
  198. [2012-07-14 19:40:14] * Blastwave tries to struggle against Moonlight`s_Shimmer to bite at precious. His teeth seems oddly sharp today
  199. [2012-07-14 19:40:59] * Moonlight`s_Shimmer holds Blastwave down "We demand that you calm down! We do not want to hurt you Blastwave!"
  200. [2012-07-14 19:41:40] * Precious struggles to keep her face and neck away from Blastwave's mouth. This was not how she wanted to go... and then Moonlight knocked him off. She started to hyperventilate, fresh tears forming when she couldn't formulate any other kind of response
  201. [2012-07-14 19:42:29] * Kirengo flies through the space Blastwave was just a split second after Moon tackles him. He skids to a stop and rights himself then goes and stands over Blastwave as well. "You are -not- a monster! Not unless you let yourself be!"
  202. [2012-07-14 19:42:48] |<-- Blastwave has left irc.canternet.org (Connection closed)

  207. [2012-07-14 19:45:24] * Blastwave struggles with Moon. He needed to be free, he needed... something. But as much as she lashes out and hissed he couldn't break her hold
  208. [2012-07-14 19:46:50] * Moonlight`s_Shimmer holds Blastwave down "We will kill you if we have to, but we do not wish to!"
  209. [2012-07-14 19:47:49] * Precious is still on her back and breathing sharply. In all her years of treasure hunting, she had never stared death in the face that closely.
  210. [2012-07-14 19:48:20] * Blastwave manages to say, "Do it." and why not. What did he have to live for. His home, his family, everything he ever knew and loved was taken away, so what was the point. Just another mad dog put down, and what better way to go
  211. [2012-07-14 19:48:46] * Kirengo glances up at Moonlight`s_Shimmer. "No, you're not going to kill him." He looks back at Blastwave and crouches just outside of his reach. "Focus, Blastwave. We're not going to kill you. We need you."
  212. [2012-07-14 19:49:12] * Clipped_Cantle keeps an eye on Moonlight`s_Shimmer and Blastwave as she moves over to Precious. If he's gone... She looks down at the unicorn mare. "You ok?"
  213. [2012-07-14 19:49:54] * Moonlight`s_Shimmer levitates out her pistol, a tear beginning to streak down her face, she didn't want to do this again, she stops when Kirengo tells her to though, her pistol floating a few feet from Blastwave's head
  214. [2012-07-14 19:50:12] * Kirengo "Put the gun away, Moon. Please."
  215. [2012-07-14 19:50:50] * Blastwave stares down the barrel of the pistol. Shoot. do it. C'mon. He licks his lips and awaited the bullet
  216. [2012-07-14 19:50:56] * Precious catches wind of Blastwave's words and somethign snaps. All her rage and fear comes to a point. She gets to her hooves and floats the magic rifle off her back. She barely knew how to use the thing, but this close she could do it... Moon taking out her pistol only egged her forward, the rifle pointed squarely at Blastwave's head.
  217. [2012-07-14 19:51:35] * Kirengo spins around and puts himself directly between Precious' rifle and Blastwave. "Put it away!"
  218. [2012-07-14 19:51:52] * Blastwave barks laughter at precious, "I... taught you... that gun." He tries to form his thoughts into words, because he thinks the irony would be hilarious
  219. [2012-07-14 19:52:27] * Moonlight`s_Shimmer "Talk to him. If he wishes to die, we will grant him that which he desires. We will allow you to speak with him first" she attempts to rip Precious's gun from her and levitate it in the air "This is not something you want to do Precious"
  220. [2012-07-14 19:52:37] * Clipped_Cantle blinks. "Whoa, everypony calm the fuck down. Lower the damn guns. He isn't gone yet, and we need him!"
  221. [2012-07-14 19:52:40] * Precious doesn't seem to register Kirengo's comment. She continues to hold the rifle, the weapon shakey in her unfocused telekinetic grip. She knew where the trigger was, she knew which end was the blasty end...
  222. [2012-07-14 19:53:39] * Precious seems to gain a touch of focus as Moonlight's words ring out. The rifle is easily snatched from her weak telekinesis. She shakes at the kneeds and then falls to her side
  223. [2012-07-14 19:54:49] * Blastwave is a little dissapointed, that would have been a good death. He taught precious to use the rifle after all. "Coward..." he tries to egg them on> "L-let me..." his pupils are less dialted now, if only slightly
  224. [2012-07-14 19:55:01] * Kirengo turns back around after Precious is unarmed and looks down at Blastwave. "Nobody here is going to kill you. You aren't going to get death -again-. We need you, and you need to live."
  225. [2012-07-14 19:56:26] * Blastwave does not look at Kirengo, "Why." His voice felt wrong, as if talking and not fighting took effort. He just wanted to go home, or to die. he never asked for this
  226. [2012-07-14 19:56:39] * Moonlight`s_Shimmer says nothing, the weapons in her TK pointed at the ceiling
  227. [2012-07-14 19:59:18] * Kirengo "Why? Because I'm not going to let him, you're still in your head and not some completely insane feral zombie, none of us want to deal directly with these Enclave without someone to tell us whether or not they're telling the truth, and -you- need to get revenge on the loyal Enclave who just massively screwed over your entire life."
  228. [2012-07-14 20:00:04] <Clipped_Cantle> "Not to mention help the ones outside they fucked over, too."
  229. [2012-07-14 20:00:59] * Blastwave revenge... he could do with revenge. That was something he could handle. The though filled him with fire... yes, revenge. He died for them, and thre him away so they could... his struggling lessens, and he appears to be listening
  230. [2012-07-14 20:01:25] * Precious is very glad that the rest of the party seems to be understanding her anger a little better now, regardless of who they directed it as
  231. [2012-07-14 20:01:26] <Precious> at
  232. [2012-07-14 20:04:17] * Kirengo notices Blastwave struggle less as he finishes, so he adds, "You can't kill any loyal Enclave bastards who are with the ones who did this to you if you ask for death or let yourself go insane. You have to -live- to do that. You have to -want- to go shove a grenade so far down their throat that they explode from the inside out."
  233. [2012-07-14 20:05:15] * Blastwave starts to nod slowly his eyes returning to normal. Yes. Kill them all.
  234. [2012-07-14 20:05:17] * Precious find's Kirengo's comment oddly satisfying.
  235. [2012-07-14 20:06:12] * Clipped_Cantle nods. If the Enclave does things like this...
  236. [2012-07-14 20:06:34] * Moonlight`s_Shimmer is silent
  237. [2012-07-14 20:07:37] * Kirengo glances back to Moonlight`s_Shimmer. "Let him up." He takes a step back then returns his gaze to Blastwave. "They attacked my city. They attacked her home," he says pointing to Precious, "They got you killed and then shunned you when you came back. What are we going to do about it?! We are -not- just going to roll over and do nothing."
  238. [2012-07-14 20:08:18] * Moonlight`s_Shimmer gets off of Blastwave, she continues to levitate the weapons in the air, still pointed at the ceilingg
  239. [2012-07-14 20:08:23] <Moonlight`s_Shimmer> ceiling*
  240. [2012-07-14 20:08:39] * Precious nods firmly. Doing nothing was exactly what had landed these pegasi in their current predicament. She would be damned if she ended up like that
  241. [2012-07-14 20:09:17] * Blastwave gets up slowly to his feet when he is let get shaking the crazy out of his head. "THeey. They are not all bad... pegasi... these ones, are not." He closes his eyes. "The encalve. They are. They... I will kill them all."
  242. [2012-07-14 20:09:43] * Moonlight`s_Shimmer does not say anything
  243. [2012-07-14 20:10:55] * Kirengo "Yes. Exactly what I was trying to tell you last night. This is a war and the loyal Enclave who are shooting up civilians to flush out a single pony are the enemy."
  244. [2012-07-14 20:11:01] * Precious isn't good at killign anything, but isn't going to object to Blastwave's newfound resolve
  245. [2012-07-14 20:11:10] * Clipped_Cantle nods. "Sounds good to me."
  246. [2012-07-14 20:11:49] * Moonlight`s_Shimmer does not say anything, but holsters her pistol and levitates Precious's gun back in front of her
  247. [2012-07-14 20:12:21] * Precious takes her rifle and reaffixes it to her back. She still looked like a mess; "So, drama over?"
  248. [2012-07-14 20:12:44] * Blastwave nods slowly and looks at Precious... "Sorry."
  249. [2012-07-14 20:14:09] * Precious sighs; "It's not your fault... I think."
  250. [2012-07-14 20:14:33] <Clipped_Cantle> "Looks like it, yeah." She looks at Blastwave. "They want us to help sink this ship, using explosives." She sighs. "Bit of a waste, apparently all the weapons they have available will work, but they can't get into the lockers because of this 'lockdown'. Any idea how to get past that?"
  251. [2012-07-14 20:14:47] * Kirengo "No, it wasn't his fault." He looks around for a moment and then lets out a yell. "Stupid noise is going to drive me crazy!" He turns around and looks for where the source is coming from.
  252. [2012-07-14 20:15:04] * Blastwave looks at Clipped_Cantle and tries to think if her knows that...
  253. [2012-07-14 20:15:27] <Zeph|GM> %C3A heavily bloodstained, light-olive-coated, neon-yellow-maned mare in a blue Enclave crew-uniform, comes trotting along the corridor the noise is coming from, sobbing and crying. From the words that are distinguishable she must either be praying to, or cursing Luna and Celestia ...maybe both...
  254. [2012-07-14 20:15:27] <Zeph|GM> %C3She hasn't noticed the party.
  255. [2012-07-14 20:16:17] * Moonlight`s_Shimmer goes over to the new mare and cocks her head "Are you alright?"
  256. [2012-07-14 20:16:27] * Kirengo looks at the mare. "What's wrong? What's that noise?"
  257. [2012-07-14 20:16:53] * Precious perks at the mention of a Lockdown and turns to Cantle; "Locks I can do. Most of the time."
  258. [2012-07-14 20:17:32] * Clipped_Cantle looks at Precious. "What about terminals? This lockdown has something to do with-" She stops when she spots the mare.
  259. [2012-07-14 20:18:35] * Blastwave blinks at Precious, "Not locks, Lockdown. It would need an override from a local terminal..."
  260. [2012-07-14 20:18:57] * Moonlight`s_Shimmer perks up "We are good with terminals!"
  261. [2012-07-14 20:19:04] * Precious seems oblivious to the newcomer; "Terminals... I don't think I can do that. If there's any real locks though I can do that."
  262. [2012-07-14 20:19:08] <Zeph|GM> %C3The mare just keeps trotting towards the stairs with her head lowered and her eyes closed, oblivious to the world around her.
  263. [2012-07-14 20:19:37] * Clipped_Cantle steps in front of the mare. "Hey, whoa there. What's going on? Are you hurt?"
  264. [2012-07-14 20:19:40] * Kirengo blinks at her then breaks into a run in the direction she came from.
  265. [2012-07-14 20:19:48] * Kirengo does this while flying...
  266. [2012-07-14 20:19:52] * Blastwave follows after Kirengo
  267. [2012-07-14 20:20:49] * Moonlight`s_Shimmer frowns then goes over to stand in the mare's path
  268. [2012-07-14 20:22:45] <Zeph|GM> %C3On further down the corridor Kirengo and Blastwave don't even need PER-checks to spot the body of a light-orange mare in a fluttershy-yellow Enclave medic-uniform - or rather most of a mare. It's almost impossible to tell, whether or not the garment, or her tattered mane is supposed to be red or blue...
  269. [2012-07-14 20:22:45] <Zeph|GM> %C3...and her tail - along with everything below her waist - is missing entirely, the gaping wound healed and re-healed over and over, as the magic that was in the six, now empty healing potions simply proved insufficient. The perpetrator is the massive, enchanted metal sectioning wall, which is again slowly opening under emergency power.
  270. [2012-07-14 20:23:37] * Precious follows Cantle and finally notices the mare at her direction
  271. [2012-07-14 20:23:41] * Blastwave winces and runs over to her, she was most likly dead but he wanted to know for sure
  272. [2012-07-14 20:25:04] * Kirengo blanches but runs over next to Blastwave and looks at the wall as it retracts, ready to try and keep it from closing again if it tries.
  273. [2012-07-14 20:25:07] * Moonlight`s_Shimmer blinks then follows everyone else over to the downed mare
  274. [2012-07-14 20:25:13] <Zeph|GM> %C3The mare stops as she bumps into Moonlight`s_Shimmer. Her eyes snap open and she stumbles back from what she assumes to be a goddess.
  275. [2012-07-14 20:25:24] <Moonlight`s_Shimmer> (redact my last)
  276. [2012-07-14 20:26:04] * Moonlight`s_Shimmer looks down at the mare "Hello, are you alright?" she cocks her head at the mare
  277. [2012-07-14 20:26:12] <Zeph|GM> %C3The mare's eyes roll into the back of her head and she faints in front of Moonlight`s_Shimmer.
  278. [2012-07-14 20:26:28] * Moonlight`s_Shimmer blinks
  279. [2012-07-14 20:26:58] * Clipped_Cantle sighs and checks the mare over for injury.
  280. [2012-07-14 20:27:39] * Precious blinks, then looks to Moonlight; "Do you get that a lot?"
  281. [2012-07-14 20:28:22] * Moonlight`s_Shimmer sits there staring at the mare who fainted
  282. [2012-07-14 20:29:04] <Zeph|GM> %C3 Clipped_Cantle notes that the fainted mare isn't suffering from anything further than various degrees of bruising. ...mentally? Probably not as good.
  283. [2012-07-14 20:30:02] * Clipped_Cantle looks over at Moonlight`s_Shimmer. "Could you take her back to the med-bay, Moon? She's fine as far as I can tell... physically."
  284. [2012-07-14 20:30:30] * Moonlight`s_Shimmer nods "Of course" she levitates the mare onto her back and begins to head to the med bay
  285. [2012-07-14 20:31:06] * Precious looks down the hall to Kirengo and Blastwave, spying the dead mare. There were no 'good ponies' on this ship as far as she was concerned, but she still felt a pang for what had to have been a painful death
  286. [2012-07-14 20:31:53] * Blastwave would point out to precious that she was technically on the ship as well. "This is not good..." he looked for a way to stop the door bulkhead [correct term here[
  287. [2012-07-14 20:32:25] * Moonlight`s_Shimmer makes it to the med bay and knocks on the door "Hello?"
  288. [2012-07-14 20:33:40] * Clipped_Cantle trots over to Blastwave, Kirengo, and Precious, wincing at the dead mare.
  289. [2012-07-14 20:34:07] * Kirengo "No kidding."
  290. [2012-07-14 20:34:40] * Blastwave "I mean the door is wasting energy, they are on emergency power and every little bit helps.
  291. [2012-07-14 20:34:55] <Zeph|GM> %C3The medbay door is opened by one one the armored pegasi. He looks between Moonlight`s_Shimmer and the fainted mare, "Where did you- doesn't matter." He turns around, "Medic!"
  292. [2012-07-14 20:36:11] * Moonlight`s_Shimmer levitates the mare into the room and onto a bed "We are sorry for our friend's useless yelling earlier, we wish to apologize"
  293. [2012-07-14 20:37:47] <Zeph|GM> %C3One of the hooffull of yellow-clad medicine ponies canters over to them and freezes at the sight of Moonlight`s_Shimmer, quickly snapping out of it, though and goes to tend to the unconscious mare. The armored pony just stares, "Uhh... sure?"
  294. [2012-07-14 20:38:13] * Kirengo blinks at Blastwave for a moment then shakes his head. "Fine, how can you stop it from shutting again?
  295. [2012-07-14 20:38:30] * Blastwave is still looking for a way to shut it down like before...
  296. [2012-07-14 20:38:43] * Kirengo pokes Zeph|GM
  297. [2012-07-14 20:39:19] <Zeph|GM> %C3There is no panel, or terminal. The door isn't controlled on site.
  298. [2012-07-14 20:40:05] * Blastwave thinks this is dumb, "I am not sure."
  299. [2012-07-14 20:40:33] <Clipped_Cantle> "Maybe from the terminals up in the CIC?"
  300. [2012-07-14 20:42:51] * Blastwave nods, "Perhaps, or in the cargo bay...
  301. [2012-07-14 20:43:03] <Zeph|GM> %C3Blastwave is thinking about cheese for some reason...
  302. [2012-07-14 20:43:14] * Kirengo "Okay... then let's go back up there."
  303. [2012-07-14 20:43:33] * Clipped_Cantle nods. "I'll get Moon, I sent her to the med-bay with that mare."
  304. [2012-07-14 20:43:35] * Blastwave nods, "Did we have a job... or... something." yum chedder
  305. [2012-07-14 20:44:09] * Clipped_Cantle trots off to the med-bay to fetch Moonlight`s_Shimmer.
  306. [2012-07-14 20:44:13] * Kirengo rolls his yes. "Yes, our job is apparently to save emergency power." He turns around and starts heading back up the stairs to the CIC.
  307. [2012-07-14 20:44:46] * Blastwave wishes to learn the way of rolling yesses and follows
  308. [2012-07-14 20:45:00] * Moonlight`s_Shimmer cocks her head "It was uncalled for and useless, getting everyone nowhere. If we are to work togethor we must be cooperative, now that you are...probably considered traitors, we should try to work togethor. We believe the saying is 'the enemy of our enemy is our friend' or something like that. We are grateful that you did not fire on the city, or at least ceased firing"
  309. [2012-07-14 20:45:44] <Zeph|GM> %C3The CIC is empty this time, save for the three 'tech'-ponies that are working on getting the terminals restored.
  310. [2012-07-14 20:47:28] * Clipped_Cantle trots up to Moonlight`s_Shimmer. "Hey Moon, you said you were good with terminals earlier, right? Need your help upstairs."
  311. [2012-07-14 20:47:56] <Zeph|GM> %C3The armored pony blinks inside his helmet and finally nods, "Yes; thanks?" He shakes his head clear, "You're working on ending the lockdown?"
  312. [2012-07-14 20:47:56] * Blastwave starts hitting terminal buttons. One of these does cheese
  313. [2012-07-14 20:48:22] <Clipped_Cantle> "Yeah, part of the reason we need Moon here."
  314. [2012-07-14 20:48:31] * Moonlight`s_Shimmer looks back at Clipped_Cantle, "We will help" she looks back at the armored pegasus "Yes, we are, it has been nice talking with you, we are called Moonlight`s_Shimmer"
  315. [2012-07-14 20:49:51] * Clipped_Cantle nods. "Alright, I'll show you where Moon."
  316. [2012-07-14 20:49:58] * Clipped_Cantle heads for the CIC
  317. [2012-07-14 20:50:16] * Precious stayed in one spot, not wantign to get lost on the big ship until somepony else was with her
  318. [2012-07-14 20:50:18] * Moonlight`s_Shimmer follows Clipped_Cantle waving a wing at the armored pegasus
  319. [2012-07-14 20:50:28] <Zeph|GM> %C3The pegasus nods again, somewhat confused with the very chatty alicorn.
  320. [2012-07-14 20:50:41] * Precious falls in behind Moon and Cantle as they head up to the CIC
  321. [2012-07-14 20:52:01] * Kirengo looks around at the tech ponies and the terminals and just... starts looking over them. Terminals... how do they work?
  322. [2012-07-14 20:52:21] * Precious is equally scientifically challenged
  323. [2012-07-14 20:52:55] * Moonlight`s_Shimmer heads over to the tech ponies and looks down at the terminals "We believe we can help"
  324. [2012-07-14 20:53:02] * Blastwave has no idea what he's doing but at least he can actually touch terminals
  325. [2012-07-14 20:54:11] * Kirengo rolls his eyes. Bleh I can touch terminals wheeee
  326. [2012-07-14 20:55:36] <Zeph|GM> %C3One of the ponies looks up and blinks at Moonlight`s_Shimmer, "Wh- yes, - Uhh... the Major gave you permission." She steps back from her work, pointing at the terminal she was working on, "Control is currently shot. It didn't transfer to Torch, so it's not working."
  327. [2012-07-14 20:56:42] <Moonlight`s_Shimmer> "We see" she steps up to the terminal and uses SCIUNS!

  357. [2012-07-14 21:11:03] * Blastwave "Ignoring the part where I died and melted away. Or that the ponies I gave my life defending were actually mass murding lunatics, and the only other option beside them is the wasteland where corpses are laoded up with bombs and this is seen as a normal thing!" He slams a hoof on the desk. "Other thn that. Fine.":
  358. [2012-07-14 21:11:39] * Precious watches Moonlight work curiously; apparently her more extensive knowledge of magic applied to arcano-tec as well as her own spells. She began to wonder if such knowledge might make her own abilities more effective.
  359. [2012-07-14 21:12:47] * Kirengo sighs. "Well yeah, that was probably all a bit of a shock..." His right wing extends and scratches behind his ear with its claw. "But it's not all bad, really. At least now you know they're mass murdering lunatics and can help stop them."
  360. [2012-07-14 21:14:13] * Blastwave "I will." the anger keeps him going, the rage makes him sane.

  416. [2012-07-14 21:36:36] * Clipped_Cantle nods to the mare, then looks at Blastwave. "Well, help them lift the lockdown was the first thing... then they were talking about needing help sinking the ship. They have enough weapons to do it without lifting the armory lockdown... but then we'd be losing all the weapons still /under/ lockdown." She shrugs. "Lets go talk to Patch first."
  417. [2012-07-14 21:38:17] * Blastwave "Where is he?"
  418. [2012-07-14 21:38:39] <Clipped_Cantle> "In the med-bay, I would assume. That's where they were before."
  419. [2012-07-14 21:39:09] * Moonlight`s_Shimmer "Let us be off then"
  420. [2012-07-14 21:39:27] * Blastwave nods and leads the way. SO many stairs
  421. [2012-07-14 21:39:43] * Moonlight`s_Shimmer follows behind everyone
  422. [2012-07-14 21:39:55] * Kirengo follows
  423. [2012-07-14 21:40:10] * Clipped_Cantle follows too!
  424. [2012-07-14 21:42:42] <Zeph|GM> %C3The medbay is still very much active, the various medics tending to the wounded. The armored guard at the door asks, "Good news?"
  425. [2012-07-14 21:43:28] * Blastwave looks for someone else to speak
  426. [2012-07-14 21:44:50] <Clipped_Cantle> "Yeah, we were told to tell you to signal the Major over suit-comms when Patch is ready."
  427. [2012-07-14 21:45:00] * Moonlight`s_Shimmer waves a wing at the armored pegasus "It is good to see you again"
  428. [2012-07-14 21:47:16] <Zeph|GM> %C3The guard nods, "You got it unlocked? That's good news indeed. We'll begin preparing to leave immediately."
  429. [2012-07-14 21:48:15] * Clipped_Cantle smiles and pats Moonlight`s_Shimmer on the... leg... with a hoof. "Yeah, Moon got the terminal working... somehow. I don't get that stuff."
  430. [2012-07-14 21:48:42] * Moonlight`s_Shimmer smiles "We are good with terminals"
  431. [2012-07-14 21:50:17] * Precious shrugs; "Why are you so intent on sinking this ship anyways?"
  432. [2012-07-14 21:50:53] <Moonlight`s_Shimmer> "To keep the technology out of other's hooves we would think"
  433. [2012-07-14 21:52:07] <Zeph|GM> %C3The pegasus nods, "Magic, I guess." He looks to Precious, "For one, so the nasties won't get at the firepower; neither the ones in the air, nor the ground; and for two, because it's gonna sink soon anyway once the power gives out and we'd rather keep it under controlled conditions."
  434. [2012-07-14 21:52:43] * Blastwave "The place should be stripped of valuables though..."
  435. [2012-07-14 21:53:49] * Clipped_Cantle nods. "Yeah, that's what I was thinking with the whole armory thing."
  436. [2012-07-14 21:54:07] * Kirengo "And now it all makes sense."
  437. [2012-07-14 21:54:08] <Zeph|GM> %C3The pegasus turns his head to Blastwave, but avoids looking at the ghoul behind his visor, "We can only carry so much with this many wounded..."
  438. [2012-07-14 21:54:18] * Precious nods; "You have a huge debt to the ponies of friendship city to repay; and I'm sure plenty of what can be salvaged form this ship has value to somepony."
  439. [2012-07-14 21:54:28] * Precious checks herself; the wounded did take priority
  440. [2012-07-14 21:54:52] <Moonlight`s_Shimmer> "We do not think they will mind if you take some of their leftover weapons, we are helping them after all"
  441. [2012-07-14 21:55:29] * Blastwave "We should arrange with the Rangers that these ponies are allowed to leave peacefully..."
  442. [2012-07-14 21:56:12] * Kirengo looks up at Moonlight`s_Shimmer. "Can you lift a pony in your magic?"
  443. [2012-07-14 21:56:30] <Zeph|GM> %C3Pegasus Guard #182 "The Ra-? - oh, ...yes, that would be good."
  444. [2012-07-14 21:56:39] * Moonlight`s_Shimmer nods "Oh yes, we believe we can at lift 3 or 5"
  445. [2012-07-14 21:56:39] <Clipped_Cantle> (lmao)
  446. [2012-07-14 21:57:30] * Kirengo "Problem solved. Have Moon carry a bunch at a time so the others don't have to make as many trips and the rest of us strip the ship of valuables."
  447. [2012-07-14 21:57:32] <Moonlight`s_Shimmer> we believe we can lift 3 or 5*
  448. [2012-07-14 22:00:10] * Precious smirks at Kirengo; "Very shrewd. I like it."
  449. [2012-07-14 22:00:31] * Clipped_Cantle tilts her head. "But we'll need Moon to unlock the armory."
  450. [2012-07-14 22:00:44] <Moonlight`s_Shimmer> "We can do both"
  451. [2012-07-14 22:00:53] * Kirengo "Then have her unlock the armory and then come back and carry wounded while we strip it."
  452. [2012-07-14 22:01:10] * Clipped_Cantle nods. "Sounds like a plan."
  453. [2012-07-14 22:01:11] <Zeph|GM> %C3Patch trots over to the group, "Well, I'd say you're not exactly liable to shoot us at this point, but we could still use your help once you're done. We're gonna need you to carry the supplies."
  454. [2012-07-14 22:01:45] * Moonlight`s_Shimmer "We can do that as well"
  455. [2012-07-14 22:01:53] * Clipped_Cantle nods at Patch. "Yeah, sure. We'll be back soon as we're done."
  456. [2012-07-14 22:03:04] * Clipped_Cantle looks at Blastwave. "On to the armory?"
  457. [2012-07-14 22:04:19] * Blastwave nods, "It is just around the hall"
  458. [2012-07-14 22:04:42] <Zeph|GM> %C3Patch nods, "Yes, just around the hall, through the mensa. Good luck an' all that."
  459. [2012-07-14 22:04:47] <Moonlight`s_Shimmer> "Show us the way, we will attempt to unlock it for you"
  460. [2012-07-14 22:05:37] * Blastwave starts walking around that direction
  461. [2012-07-14 22:05:48] * Clipped_Cantle follows yet again!
  462. [2012-07-14 22:05:56] * Precious nods; "That's acceptable."
  463. [2012-07-14 22:06:31] * Moonlight`s_Shimmer follows behind everyone
  464. [2012-07-14 22:06:59] * Kirengo follooooooooooooows.
  465. [2012-07-14 22:07:22] * Blastwave skips along his merry way
  466. [2012-07-14 22:07:50] <Zeph|GM> %C3Just inside the entrance door to the Armory is an airlock-style entrance booth, leading to the actual room. To your right is an office behind a wall of enchanted glass and the Armory in front of you is a large, rectangular room, filled with rows and rows of weapons lockers and cabinets, as well as storage lockers for armor. At the end of the room there are even some heavy looking crates...
  467. [2012-07-14 22:07:50] <Zeph|GM> ...that were once stacked against the wall, but have been toppled by the crash.
  468. [2012-07-14 22:07:50] <Zeph|GM> %C3You aren't alone however: In the room, there are some pegasi in their blue Enclave uniforms, appearing to be rigging together an IED compromised of plenty of ammo and grenades and in the office to the side another is going through the drawers and papers. He looks up as you enter, "Ahh ...! Who- ? What- ?"
  469. [2012-07-14 22:09:00] <Moonlight`s_Shimmer> "We are here to unlock the armory"
  470. [2012-07-14 22:09:09] * Blastwave looks back, "The fuck are you doing? Thats perfectly good equipment you're trying to blow uP!
  471. [2012-07-14 22:09:37] * Clipped_Cantle looks at Blastwave. "That's how they were planning on sinking this thing."
  472. [2012-07-14 22:10:48] * Blastwave "But... oh nevermind."
  473. [2012-07-14 22:10:58] * Blastwave hates to see good explosives go to waste
  474. [2012-07-14 22:11:34] <Zeph|GM> %C3The pegasus blinky-blinks a few times, before deciding it be prudent to 'snap out of it', "Yes, gonna blow off the port-side cloud-anchor."
  475. [2012-07-14 22:12:13] * Moonlight`s_Shimmer looks around for a terminal or something so she could unlock things then head back to carry out wounded
  476. [2012-07-14 22:13:34] * Precious wonders if she's still needed for unlocking, or if they just had keys handy.
  477. [2012-07-14 22:13:37] <Zeph|GM> %C3The pegasus looks at Moonlight`s_Shimmer, unsure what to do. There's a terminal on the wall behind him in the office.
  478. [2012-07-14 22:14:03] * Clipped_Cantle nods. "Alright, well, we talked to Patch, got the lockdown ready to be lifted, but Moon says it has to be done locally for the armory."
  479. [2012-07-14 22:14:10] * Moonlight`s_Shimmer notices the terminal and heads over to it.
  480. [2012-07-14 22:14:32] * Kirengo is confused.
  481. [2012-07-14 22:14:42] <Zeph|GM> %C3The pegasus looks back to Clipped_Cantle and noes, "Alright."
  482. [2012-07-14 22:15:12] <Zeph|GM> %C3nods*
  483. [2012-07-14 22:15:16] * Moonlight`s_Shimmer begins to hakz
  484. [2012-07-14 22:15:40] * Clipped_Cantle tilts her head at the pegasus. "The...uh... Major... said you needed help with this... thing?" She gestures to the IED.
  485. [2012-07-14 22:16:19] <Zeph|GM> %C3The pegasus nods again, "Not really, but help would speed us up."
  486. [2012-07-14 22:17:02] * Blastwave looks at it and walks over, "Fine. I shall help you waste explosives."

  501. [2012-07-14 22:24:09] * Blastwave starts working on tHE IED, wait, where did the blue wire go agai, "Hey. Guys. If you find power armour. Let me have it."
  502. [2012-07-14 22:24:52] <Moonlight`s_Shimmer> "We believe we have done all we can here. Everything should open up fine except personnel lockers, you need the owner's ID for those" she heads out of the armory and back to the med bay
  503. [2012-07-14 22:25:40] * Clipped_Cantle nods and moves over to examine the crates.
  504. [2012-07-14 22:26:41] * Kirengo nods at Moonlight`s_Shimmer, "Thanks," then walks into the armory and looks around for anything he could find of value or interest.
  505. [2012-07-14 22:27:25] <Zeph|GM> %C3The medbay's occupation is currently busy packing up supplies while making sure the wounded are stable. The guards nods at Moonlight`s_Shimmer as she enters.
  506. [2012-07-14 22:28:04] * Moonlight`s_Shimmer enters the med bay then looks for Patch "We can help take out the wounded now, the rangers outside will take care of them, they have an outpost set up"
  507. [2012-07-14 22:29:46] * Blastwave looks over at Kirengo as he works on da bomb. "See anything?"
  508. [2012-07-14 22:29:49] <Zeph|GM> %C3Patch Up looks up at Moonlight`s_Shimmer, "That's good." She looks about and points at the mare that fainted, "Take Acid out first with a crate of supplies. That should help goodwill along some, I hope."
  509. [2012-07-14 22:30:47] <Zeph|GM> %C3The armory is filled with lockers, cabinets and crates, many of which are open and empty.
  510. [2012-07-14 22:31:02] * Precious pulls out her tools and heads to the nearest unopened locker.
  511. [2012-07-14 22:32:17] * Clipped_Cantle pokes through the crates, cabinets, whatever she can get into.
  512. [2012-07-14 22:33:36] * Kirengo turns around and heads back down to help Moon take out the wounded.
  513. [2012-07-14 22:33:52] * Moonlight`s_Shimmer nods "We shall" she levitates Acid onto her back and the crate of supplies up then heads out the door and out of the sunken ship and to the rangers where she heads into their medical tent "The enclave...or former enclave...that are still in the sunken raptor have agreed to lend their medical supplies, they have wounded as well that we are going to be taking out of the raptor and then
  514. [2012-07-14 22:33:53] * Moonlight`s_Shimmer putting up here." she lays down Acid on an unnoccupied bed and sets the crate of medical supplies down
  515. [2012-07-14 22:34:59] * Precious just stares at the lock that looked to be made of clouds. She prods at it gingerly with her tools... which pass right through. "Really?"
  516. [2012-07-14 22:35:11] * Kirengo continues taking out wounded and supplies as ordered for awhile as Yoshi goes and takes a shower.
  517. [2012-07-14 22:35:36] * Precious grumbles; "How in the hay... cloud locks? Seriously? How does that even... ugh."
  518. [2012-07-14 22:35:42] <Zeph|GM> %C3One of the AJ-Ranger medics trots to Moonlight`s_Shimmer and nods, "Alright; I'll tell the CO right away."
  519. [2012-07-14 22:37:45] * Precious looks around with a deadpan expression at whoeever was left. The first time in days she'd been in her element... and the locks were... intangible."
  520. [2012-07-14 22:38:13] * Blastwave is there working on the bomb...
  521. [2012-07-14 22:38:19] * Moonlight`s_Shimmer nods then goes back to the medbay of the raptor "They have accepted your goodwill, we will continue to take up supplies and wounded"
  522. [2012-07-14 22:39:47] * Precious looks to Blastwave; "Um... got any keys?"
  523. [2012-07-14 22:40:39] <Clipped_Cantle> "Their locks... are made... of cloud?"
  524. [2012-07-14 22:42:19] <Zeph|GM> %C3Clipped_Cantle finds a few unopened Armor Lockers that were unlocked, containing: Enclave Uniform x3 Enclave Uniform(Rnf 4DT) x1 Enclave Recon Armor x4
  525. [2012-07-14 22:42:25] * Blastwave "Why would I have keys? And why do you need to /touch. the clouds. Just use your bobby pin and screwdriver, you aren';t touching it physically so logically there is no reason you can't"
  526. [2012-07-14 22:43:40] * Moonlight`s_Shimmer continues to take out supplies and wounded
  527. [2012-07-14 22:46:28] * Precious shakes her head; "The tools go right through it."
  528. [2012-07-14 22:47:26] * Blastwave "That... makes no sense." He goes back to his bomb, "Maybe Moonlight can pick locks?"
  529. [2012-07-14 22:49:06] * Precious deadpans at Blastwave; "Making locks out of cloud makes no sense. A stiff breeze would ruin the security."
  530. [2012-07-14 22:49:41] * Blastwave "They're hardened. And thats what we have in the clouds... "
  531. [2012-07-14 22:50:26] * Clipped_Cantle puts all the armor and uniforms and stuff into her bags.
  532. [2012-07-14 22:50:58] * Precious facehoofs; "Well, none of my tools work, so I need a key."
  533. [2012-07-14 22:51:45] * Blastwave "I don't have a key." he thinks. "Don't you need ID cards? Wasn't there a pony that died one floor up, maybe she has an ID card..."
  534. [2012-07-14 22:52:09] * Clipped_Cantle winces. "Right... I'll... go check."
  535. [2012-07-14 22:52:31] * Blastwave keeps working on the bomb, has it been an hour yet?
  536. [2012-07-14 22:53:11] * Precious looks for any ammo boxes. They seemed to use a lot of Magical Energy weapons, and the cells were compatable with her arcano... could a magic lockpick work on clouds? It would be worth a shot. She scouts around for compatible power cells
  537. [2012-07-14 22:53:55] * Blastwave "Look for weapons too, I'm a right good shot with a MEW."
  538. [2012-07-14 22:54:37] <Zeph|GM> %C3Any powercells already out are well on their way to be integrated into the IED. She does find a few unlocked lockers, though.
  539. [2012-07-14 22:54:53] * Precious had figured as much, given that he showed her how to use that rifle she now carried. She checks the lockers
  540. [2012-07-14 22:55:03] * Clipped_Cantle trots out of the armory, heading for the mare who got cut in half by the door.
  541. [2012-07-14 22:56:59] <Zeph|GM> %C3The mare is still dead.
  542. [2012-07-14 22:57:26] * Clipped_Cantle checks to see if she has an ID card of some sort...
  543. [2012-07-14 22:57:40] * Moonlight`s_Shimmer stops and sees Clipped_Cantle, having come back from dropping off some supplies, she trots over to her "What are you doing Clipped?"
  544. [2012-07-14 22:58:53] * Clipped_Cantle looks at Moonlight`s_Shimmer. "Trying to find some sort of ID card. The locks in the armory are made of /cloud/ of all things, Precious can't get them open..."
  545. [2012-07-14 22:59:46] * Precious is still looking for power cells for her magic lockpick so she can try using it to beat the cloud locks
  546. [2012-07-14 23:00:53] * Moonlight`s_Shimmer blinks "Cloud? Ah...I see. I have a spell that can help with that"
  547. [2012-07-14 23:01:37] <Zeph|GM> %C3 Clipped_Cantle finds and ID in the form of the dead mare's holotags purely on accident. Fancy that. They read: "ENS Cloud Front ; Sex: F ; Age: 22"
  548. [2012-07-14 23:02:48] * Clipped_Cantle blinks at Moonlight`s_Shimmer. "Yeah? Try it then, I guess." She blinks, her hoof accidently bumping into something on the mare. Oh, an ID. Fancy that. She sticks it in her bag. "Lets go."
  549. [2012-07-14 23:03:06] * Moonlight`s_Shimmer nods and follows Clipped_Cantle back to the armory
  550. [2012-07-14 23:03:22] * Clipped_Cantle leads Moonlight`s_Shimmer to the armory!
  551. [2012-07-14 23:03:22] * Blastwave is /still/ working on the bomb.
  552. [2012-07-14 23:03:57] * Precious is still looking for power cells
  553. [2012-07-14 23:05:05] * Clipped_Cantle trots back into the armory. "Moon says she's got a spell that might help. Also found an ID." She holds the ID out to Blastwave.
  554. [2012-07-14 23:05:21] * Moonlight`s_Shimmer trots over to Precious, her horn lights up as she casts cloudwalk on her "There you go Precious, now you can pick the cloud locks" she trots back out to continue helping with supplies and the injured
  555. [2012-07-14 23:05:28] * Blastwave looks at the ID... nopony he knows. "Try to find the associated locker."
  556. [2012-07-14 23:05:42] <Blastwave> 1d100 boom 57+15
  557. [2012-07-14 23:05:49] * Kirengo continues hauling out the wounded.
  558. [2012-07-14 23:06:48] * Clipped_Cantle shrugs and starts uh... using the ID to try and open lockers?
  559. [2012-07-14 23:09:17] * Moonlight`s_Shimmer continues to move wounded and supplies!
  560. [2012-07-14 23:10:48] * Clipped_Cantle finds the locker the ID went to and holds a laser-rifle out to Blastwave. "Hey, want this?"
  561. [2012-07-14 23:11:04] * Blastwave looks at it, "Yes>"
  562. [2012-07-14 23:11:11] <Zeph|GM> %C3 Precious finds one more unlocked locker!
  563. [2012-07-14 23:11:27] * Kirengo is a zebra and he's carrying the wounded. Carry carry wounded, carrying the wounded.
  564. [2012-07-14 23:11:46] * Clipped_Cantle hands it to Blastwave, along with all 25 of the MSCs she found in the locker.
  565. [2012-07-14 23:11:50] <Clipped_Cantle> (hoofs*)
  566. [2012-07-14 23:12:19] * Precious blinks at Moonlight's quick hi-spell-bye, then looks to the locker. She shrugs and attempts it again
  567. [2012-07-14 23:13:16] * Blastwave nodsm "Thanks."
  568. [2012-07-14 23:13:23] * Precious checks the unlocked locker first
  569. [2012-07-14 23:14:01] <Clipped_Cantle> "I found some armor too, Blast. Same kind you're wearing now but... in better condition. Want one?"
  570. [2012-07-14 23:14:41] * Blastwave looks over from his bomb, "I was hoping for power armour, but that will do. Thank you."
  571. [2012-07-14 23:15:31] * Clipped_Cantle gives Blastwave one of the Enclave Recon armors. "Yeah, no problem. I can... take the symbols off for you later, if you want."
  572. [2012-07-14 23:15:32] * Precious pockets the laser pistol and the gem cells. The pistol she could sell, but the gem cells were just the kind that were compatable with her magic lockpick
  573. [2012-07-14 23:16:16] * Blastwave holds it up, "Later..." he changes armour and throws the old one away, so useless"
  574. [2012-07-14 23:17:14] * Clipped_Cantle tilts her head and scoops up the old armor. "Mind if I take it? Might be able to use it for repairs or something."
  575. [2012-07-14 23:18:00] * Blastwave nods, "Go ahead."
  576. [2012-07-14 23:19:11] * Clipped_Cantle looks at Precious. "You want one of those armors too? I found four of them, all told. Pretty sturdy."
  577. [2012-07-14 23:19:16] * Kirengo makes another trip carrying wounded and supplies yay.
  578. [2012-07-14 23:19:30] * Moonlight`s_Shimmer has been doing that
  579. [2012-07-14 23:20:58] * Precious looks to Cantle, then down to her reinforced trader barding. As much as she loved the old thing, it seemed that protection was going to become more important very quickly; "Sure."
  580. [2012-07-14 23:21:14] <Zeph|GM> %C3Blastwave completes his work to his satisfaction. The IED is ready for deployment.
  581. [2012-07-14 23:21:25] * Clipped_Cantle hoofs Precious the armor.
  582. [2012-07-14 23:21:44] * Clipped_Cantle decides to put one on herself, too.
  583. [2012-07-14 23:22:20] * Blastwave "Most excellent, I say."
  584. [2012-07-14 23:25:35] * Precious eyes the armour; "I don't think that'll fit me right now. Can you fix it up?"
  585. [2012-07-14 23:25:40] * Precious lockpicks away
  586. [2012-07-14 23:26:00] * Clipped_Cantle blinks. Dammit... doesn't fit. She shrugs and puts her old armor back on. She looks at Precious. "Yeah, sure. Soon as we're done here."
  587. [2012-07-14 23:29:47] * Moonlight`s_Shimmer continues lifting wounded and supplies
  588. [2012-07-14 23:30:33] * Precious continues picking SO MANY locks
  589. [2012-07-14 23:30:41] * Kirengo hauls ALL THE WOUNDED.
  590. [2012-07-14 23:30:54] * Clipped_Cantle waits to be a packpony.
  591. [2012-07-14 23:31:13] * Blastwave stands by his bomb. He's so proud
  592. [2012-07-14 23:32:21] * Blastwave juggles
  593. [2012-07-14 23:38:36] <Zeph|GM> %C3With all their copious loot secure, the group is ready just in time to have the guard from the medbay trot over to the armory to fetch them and the IED. "Patch has everything packed up." He looks to Blastwave, "You ready?"
  594. [2012-07-14 23:39:10] * Blastwave pats the bomb, "It's ready to blow at your command Si-." he cuts himself off.
  595. [2012-07-14 23:40:40] <Zeph|GM> %C3The pegasus blinks inside his helmet, "Torch is going to be doing that. She's going to lift the lockdown and blow the charge. Right now, you have to get out of here with Patch."
  596. [2012-07-14 23:41:16] * Moonlight`s_Shimmer appears out of nowhere, looking somewhat tired "We are dong carrying things!"
  597. [2012-07-14 23:41:18] * Kirengo finished transporting the wounded?
  598. [2012-07-14 23:41:19] * Blastwave nods, "Lets go..."
  599. [2012-07-14 23:41:23] <Moonlight`s_Shimmer> done*
  600. [2012-07-14 23:41:37] * Clipped_Cantle nods and heads for the exit, laden with stuff.
  601. [2012-07-14 23:41:47] * Precious is finally reaching her limit of stuff to carry. Thankfully, a little TK in the right place makes it just barely manageable. She works to remove herself from the ship. She didn't know about the Steel Rangers, but there would certainly be people from Friendship City who would appreciate the donation of some magical ordinance
  602. [2012-07-14 23:42:44] * Blastwave goes down to the cargo hold and notices a room called ballistics, he wodners what is in there
  603. [2012-07-14 23:43:12] <Zeph|GM> %C3Patch is waiting for them in the stairwell to the hangar bay.
  604. [2012-07-14 23:44:14] * Clipped_Cantle trots up to Patch. "We got what we could, I hear we're ready to rock?"
  605. [2012-07-14 23:44:21] * Blastwave salutes to patch out of habit
  606. [2012-07-14 23:44:23] * Kirengo is there with moon and Clipped_Cantle and Patch and all the rest.
  607. [2012-07-14 23:44:34] * Moonlight`s_Shimmer is there, looking somewhat exhausted
  608. [2012-07-14 23:45:39] * Precious has bailed on the whole Raptor Scene
  609. [2012-07-14 23:45:44] <Zeph|GM> %C3Patch nods at the group, "Yes, we're ready. Everyone but - Torch ...and us is outside."
  610. [2012-07-14 23:46:11] <Moonlight`s_Shimmer> "We are ready!
  611. [2012-07-14 23:46:11] <Kirengo> bael'd*
  612. [2012-07-14 23:46:12] <Moonlight`s_Shimmer> "
  613. [2012-07-14 23:46:58] <Clipped_Cantle> "Alright. Where's Torch? Lets get out of here. "
  614. [2012-07-14 23:48:01] <Zeph|GM> %C3Patch Up starts hovering as the ship gives another loud, rumbling creak, "Torch has to lift the lockdown. Let's go!"
  615. [2012-07-14 23:48:17] * Blastwave flys along side, "Will Torch be okay?"'
  616. [2012-07-14 23:48:37] * Clipped_Cantle glances around. Ok... that noise didn't sound good...
  617. [2012-07-14 23:48:56] * Kirengo leaps into the air and flies along out of the ship.
  618. [2012-07-14 23:49:24] <Zeph|GM> %C3Patch Up looks at Blastwave as she starts to fly out, "She's the fastest of us. If anypony can make it out fast enough, it's her."
  619. [2012-07-14 23:49:41] * Moonlight`s_Shimmer flies out of the ship behind everyone
  620. [2012-07-14 23:49:55] * Blastwave flies out, "If you say so!"
  621. [2012-07-14 23:49:57] * Clipped_Cantle nods. "Alright..." She silently wishes Torch good luck, then leaves the ship.
  622. [2012-07-14 23:50:31] * Precious departs as well.
  623. [2012-07-14 23:51:30] * Moonlight`s_Shimmer heads over to the outpost, and looks for the Ranger CO
  624. [2012-07-14 23:52:15] <Zeph|GM> %C3The ship creaks some more as they leave it behind, the now noticeably more precariously balanced vessel sending tremors up the bridge with it's bulk.
  625. [2012-07-14 23:52:47] * Clipped_Cantle heads back to the Ranger camp.
  626. [2012-07-14 23:52:49] * Blastwave flies above the wreckage, "Anyone else wonder if this was a good idea?"
  627. [2012-07-14 23:53:33] * Kirengo "I'd say it's a very bad idea."
  628. [2012-07-14 23:53:53] * Precious shakes her head; "This whole thing just leaves me feeling... awful. All of it."
  629. [2012-07-14 23:54:03] * Blastwave "I'm shocked Precious."
  630. [2012-07-14 23:54:14] * Moonlight`s_Shimmer stops the nearest ranger she sees "Excuse us...is there any pockets of radiation nearby? We are feeling a bit drained" drained, not tired, nope.
  631. [2012-07-14 23:54:51] * Precious sighs at Blastwave; "Yeah well... you didn't do it, so I guess I have no cause to be angry at you. You were just convenient."
  632. [2012-07-14 23:55:29] <Zeph|GM> %C3The ship releases a last, loud, shuddering groan as internal parts are shifted as the lockdown is ended. Seconds later a deafening *BOOM!* is heard as an explosion erupts from behind the remaining thundercloud, illuminating the surrounding area blindingly for a second with multicolored light.
  633. [2012-07-14 23:55:37] * Blastwave "I shall take that as an apology then."
  634. [2012-07-14 23:56:09] * Precious shakes her head; "Only to you. The rest of those responsible for this... I'll never forgive them."
  635. [2012-07-14 23:56:16] * Clipped_Cantle turns to look at the ship, waiting to see if Torch makes it out...
  636. [2012-07-14 23:56:32] <Zeph|GM> %C3The ranger looks up at Moonlight`s_Shimmer, "Uhh, I guess you could go into the water? I dunno."
  637. [2012-07-14 23:56:50] * Kirengo is blinded by the light. Revved u- He also looks down for Torch.
  638. [2012-07-14 23:57:48] * Blastwave "How many more would have died, do you think, if they kept firing." she floats down to Precious, "You are quick to judge, but look at it from their perspective. They gave away their entire lives, their entire history, their /family/ for ponies they never met. And you're mad they didn't make that choice sooner? They gave their lives in defiance, they gave up everything. For ponies like you."
  639. [2012-07-14 23:58:14] * Moonlight`s_Shimmer lets out a sigh, then flies over to the edge of the water, throwing off her duster and her gear, testing the water with a hoof
  640. [2012-07-14 23:58:52] * Clipped_Cantle heads over to Paladin Split's tent and pokes her head inside.
  641. [2012-07-14 23:59:37] <Zeph|GM> %C3The ship immediately starts to sink, drowning the entrance to the hangar bay. About ten seconds later the figure of an armored pegasus is visible emerging from the hole, bursting through the scattering thundercloud. Another ten seconds later only the very top of the Altostratus remains visible, part of the bridge following it down.
  642. [2012-07-15 00:00:21] * Precious sighs; "Then maybe they can earn forgiveness. But still, they were a part of this, and they have a lot to atone for regardless. I suppose the truly unforgiveable are all dead now."
  643. [2012-07-15 00:01:00] * Moonlight`s_Shimmer slowly slides into the water, she twirls around onto her back and spreads out her wings, floating, letting out a sigh
  644. [2012-07-15 00:01:00] * Kirengo looks down at Precious as he hovers a ways above them. "You're kidding, right?"
  645. [2012-07-15 00:01:06] * Blastwave winces, "Those who gave up the most are unforgiveable? They gave their lives, and you disrepct their sacrifice."
  646. [2012-07-15 00:01:13] <Zeph|GM> %C3Split looks up grinning at Clipped_Cantle, "Ya done good work."
  647. [2012-07-15 00:02:11] <Zeph|GM> %C3 Moonlight`s_Shimmer is buffeted heavily by the large wave of water, but keeps her head afloat.
  648. [2012-07-15 00:02:16] * Clipped_Cantle smiles back at Split. "Thanks, just doing what I can. Those supplies ought to help.
  649. [2012-07-15 00:02:17] <Clipped_Cantle> "
  650. [2012-07-15 00:03:26] * Precious shakes her head; "That wasn't what I said at all." She points to the other two wrecks; "I meant the ones who continue the attack, the ones who fired upon their allies for their defiance."
  651. [2012-07-15 00:03:34] <Clipped_Cantle> "And I did have help, after all. Not like I did it all myself."
  652. [2012-07-15 00:03:52] * Blastwave narrows his eyes. That sounded a lot like backpeddling. "Fine."
  653. [2012-07-15 00:03:53] * Moonlight`s_Shimmer pouts a bit as her mane flops down in front of her face, she rolls back over into her previous position and soaks in the radiation
  654. [2012-07-15 00:04:12] * Kirengo tilts his head at Precious. Wow...
  655. [2012-07-15 00:04:15] <Zeph|GM> %C3Split nods and trots around the concrete meeting table to shake Clipped_Cantle's hoof, "Good thing we were right about the personnel, too. You folk got us medics /and/ supplies."
  656. [2012-07-15 00:04:35] * Blastwave looks over at Split and salutes.
  657. [2012-07-15 00:05:51] * Clipped_Cantle shakes Split's hoof. "Anything else I can do? Or we can do?"
  658. [2012-07-15 00:06:15] * Precious snorts; "I'm not in the right space to be as eloquent as usual, alright? For Goddesses sake, you took what I said completely the wrong way."
  659. [2012-07-15 00:06:49] * Blastwave walks over to where Clipped_Cantle is.
  660. [2012-07-15 00:07:06] <Zeph|GM> %C3Split is tired, but in a very, very good mood. He shakes Clipped_Cantle's hoof and then turns to nod at Blastwave, "Right now? No. We've been evacuating all day and those supplies made all the difference. I can't thank you enough."
  661. [2012-07-15 00:07:06] * Moonlight`s_Shimmer levitates over a bottle from her things and cracks it open, guzzling it down then hurling it out into the water. She wades on her back through the water with her wings
  662. [2012-07-15 00:07:40] * Kirengo "You implied the pegasi in the ship we just helped had done something we needed to forgive." He turns around and flies over to Moonlight`s_Shimmer and hovers above her.
  663. [2012-07-15 00:08:00] * Moonlight`s_Shimmer has her eyes closed and does not notice Kirengo
  664. [2012-07-15 00:09:01] * Kirengo tries to remember how many bottles he's seen Moon drink. That was... four? "You okay?"
  665. [2012-07-15 00:10:15] * Precious snorts; "They do have something to atone for. Yes they stopped shooting, but only after the city was defenseless, leaving them prone to destruction. If they had really been so dead set on defiance, why not use their own weapons against the ones still firing on the innocent? Simply put, they didn't do -enough- to stop this."
  666. [2012-07-15 00:10:24] * Clipped_Cantle nods to Split. "Alright. Sure you don't need another medic?"
  667. [2012-07-15 00:10:32] * Moonlight`s_Shimmer blinks her eyes open and nearly falls under the water, yelping some "W-w-we are fine, perfectly fine" she says blushing a bit and not realizing it
  668. [2012-07-15 00:10:57] <Zeph|GM> %C3 Moonlight`s_Shimmer still isn't tired enough to warrant more than slight drowsiness. Tough mare.
  669. [2012-07-15 00:11:03] * Blastwave "Is there anything dangerous enarby that needs to be cleared out? Mosnters or something..." he relaly wants to blow something up
  670. [2012-07-15 00:11:27] <Moonlight`s_Shimmer> "We are feeling a bit drained from all the carrying, that is all"
  671. [2012-07-15 00:11:41] * Precious fumes quietly. Why was 'not blowing up as many innocents as they could have' suddenly considered heroism?
  672. [2012-07-15 00:12:57] * Kirengo raises an eyebrow at Moon's blush but says nothing. "You do know there's radiation in that water, right?"
  673. [2012-07-15 00:13:01] * Blastwave thinks it's because it cost them their lives their homes, and they did it in despite of everything they were taught and knew
  674. [2012-07-15 00:13:34] * Precious doesn't know that, and needs a target for her frustrations
  675. [2012-07-15 00:13:51] * Moonlight`s_Shimmer goes back to her back floating position, straightening out her mane some "We know, radiation helps to rejuvinate us"
  676. [2012-07-15 00:14:22] <Zeph|GM> %C3Split shakes his head at Blastwave and Clipped_Cantle, "You should rest up; We have a spot in one of the survivor tents for you. It's starting to get late and we have to fortify against bloodwings as the last of our Rangers come back." He holds the tentflap open and gestures to a tent, "Tomorrow is salvage day and you're welcome to join us. We owe you a big favor."
  677. [2012-07-15 00:14:48] * Kirengo blinks. "Uh, what? How? Like a ghoul?"
  678. [2012-07-15 00:15:08] * Precious looks around the Steel Ranger Camp; "Where are the survivors now?"
  679. [2012-07-15 00:15:09] * Blastwave suggests the rest of the enclave. "If you find and Encalve Power armour... that would be nice..." he looks at Kirengo, "Radiation does what to ghouls?"
  680. [2012-07-15 00:15:43] * Moonlight`s_Shimmer cocks her head "We believe it works the same way as them, yes. We are not completely sure as to why"
  681. [2012-07-15 00:16:03] * Kirengo glances back over at Blastwave as he hoves over Moonlight`s_Shimmer in the river. "Radiation it... heals you. Makes you stronger."
  682. [2012-07-15 00:16:17] * Clipped_Cantle sighs a little. She, personally, hadn't done much. "Ok. Guess we'll see you in the morning."
  683. [2012-07-15 00:16:24] * Blastwave blinks and tilts his head, "I see..."
  684. [2012-07-15 00:16:35] * Blastwave thinks Clipped_Cantle did a lot! She is leader pony.
  685. [2012-07-15 00:17:24] * Kirengo "Oh and you don't have to sleep either." He looks back down at Moon then nods. "Right... But I meant how are you doing mentally, not physically."
  686. [2012-07-15 00:18:06] * Blastwave nods, "The past couple of days I have figured that part out... what else? I... hate this form, but I would rather have knolwedge of it..."
  687. [2012-07-15 00:18:10] * Moonlight`s_Shimmer flies up out of the water and shakes herself off a bit, hovering next to Kirengo "We are...doing fine. We think. It is hard adjusting"
  688. [2012-07-15 00:18:43] <Zeph|GM> %C3Split nods at Clipped_Cantle. He looks dead tired, too. "Good night. Tent's over there."
  689. [2012-07-15 00:20:18] * Clipped_Cantle heads over to where Moonlight`s_Shimmer and Kirengo are.
  690. [2012-07-15 00:20:47] * Moonlight`s_Shimmer flies back over to the edge of the river upon seeing Clipped_Cantle
  691. [2012-07-15 00:20:51] <Zeph|GM> %C3Torch sets down in the camp and stretches her only sightly singed wings.
  692. [2012-07-15 00:21:15] * Precious starts asking around the camp for information on the survivors and where they were temproarily being housed
  693. [2012-07-15 00:21:29] * Kirengo "Not sure what you're adjusting -from-..." He looks back over at Blastwave and starts slowly making his way back to shore. "You'll never have to sleep, never age, you'll smell completely rotten... on the bright side you're still apparently uh... 'fully functional'... The only way you can die again is through physical harm or if you go feral."
  694. [2012-07-15 00:22:20] * Blastwave "Full function... oh." If he could blush he would. "Thats... good." if anyone could stand the smell
  695. [2012-07-15 00:22:29] <Zeph|GM> %C3A Ranger informs Precious of the survivor tents which are arranged around the camp, rendering it significantly larger.
  696. [2012-07-15 00:22:35] * Moonlight`s_Shimmer blinks "We are trying to...fit in with the rest of the world"
  697. [2012-07-15 00:23:10] * Precious gives the Ranger a thankful nod and heads to the nearest tent. She slips inside and is disheartened by how few ponies actually occupied it. She starts dropping names and looking around for herself
  698. [2012-07-15 00:24:04] <Moonlight`s_Shimmer> "It is difficult...we remember very little about our time before unity"
  699. [2012-07-15 00:24:10] * Clipped_Cantle cracks her neck. "Well, that went well. Paladin Split gave us a tent for the night. Should probably get inside, too... it's getting dark." She shudders a little, remembering the bloodwing victims...
  700. [2012-07-15 00:25:56] <Zeph|GM> %C3As Precious mentions 'Laurel', an earth pony waves to her and stands up. Next to him is a unicorn mare[Fruitcake] and an almost pony-sized dog. They spy Precious and their teary eyes widen in surprise and happiness and the get up and bound over to her, glomping her. Fruitcake, "Oh, sweetie, I though I'd never see you again!"
  701. [2012-07-15 00:26:35] * Kirengo glides down to the ground next to Clipped_Cantle and sighs. "Alright..."
  702. [2012-07-15 00:26:54] * Precious smiles broadly as she is pounced by the pair of ponies; "Auntie! Uncle! You're safe! oh thank the Goddesses." She hugs them both tightly
  703. [2012-07-15 00:27:00] * Blastwave nods, "I can stand guard then. Might as well do something..."
  704. [2012-07-15 00:27:13] <Moonlight`s_Shimmer> "We do not require sleep, we will stand guard as well we guess..."
  705. [2012-07-15 00:28:08] * Kirengo looks up at Moon. "Do you have necromancy in your body?"
  706. [2012-07-15 00:28:18] <Precious> *Replace Uncle with cousin
  707. [2012-07-15 00:28:24] * Moonlight`s_Shimmer blinks
  708. [2012-07-15 00:28:36] * Clipped_Cantle headtilts. "Do what now?
  709. [2012-07-15 00:28:38] <Clipped_Cantle> "
  710. [2012-07-15 00:28:46] <Moonlight`s_Shimmer> "Necromancy? We have...heard of it before, but we do not have it"
  711. [2012-07-15 00:29:31] * Blastwave "I'm necromantic now? LOoovely."
  712. [2012-07-15 00:29:37] * Kirengo "Ghouls don't need sleep because of the necromancy, not the radiation..." He shrugs slightly then moves for the tents.
  713. [2012-07-15 00:30:05] * Moonlight`s_Shimmer ponders this as she follows
  714. [2012-07-15 00:30:17] * Precious backs out of the hug and looks at the two of them; "Where's Leaf and Uncle Pie? And that... that looks like Ginger. Only, she was just a puppy when last I saw her. Is Kiwi here too?!" She seems excited for the first time in two days
  715. [2012-07-15 00:30:23] * Blastwave trudges to the tent
  716. [2012-07-15 00:30:27] <Zeph|GM> %C3Ginger follows them and licks Precious' face, panting and wagging her tail. Fruitcake kisses Precious on the forehead, "We're so happy you're okay; for once -something- goes right."
  717. [2012-07-15 00:30:32] * Clipped_Cantle leads everyone to the tent Split had indicated. "Where'd Precious get to?"
  718. [2012-07-15 00:32:25] <Zeph|GM> %C3Fruitcake freezes up at the mention of Uncle Pie and Leaf. She and Laurel hug Precious tighter, "He - He tried ta save 'er, but they-" She chokes up, "- but they..."
  719. [2012-07-15 00:32:43] * Kirengo "No clue." He peeks his head inside the tent and looks around.
  720. [2012-07-15 00:32:54] * Precious 's heart stops; "No..."
  721. [2012-07-15 00:34:44] <Zeph|GM> %C3The then the party is in is roomy and empty. Either Applejack's Rangers had brought too many tents, or there weren't as many survivors as anticipated. Judging by the mood in the camp it's the former.
  722. [2012-07-15 00:35:51] * Precious tears up; "DId... did anypony else make it? Mashed? Gravy? Amber?"
  723. [2012-07-15 00:36:31] * Clipped_Cantle looks at Kirengo. "Oh, yeah. Found some good armor in there. I'll have to do some work on it for it to fit, but..." She pulls a set of the Enclave Recon Armor out of her bags and shows it to the zebra.
  724. [2012-07-15 00:36:41] <Zeph|GM> %C3Fruitcake nods, closing her eyes, "Th - Ol' pony Radar's bridges. One - ....one of 'em fell on 'er an' he tried to come to rescue..." She shakes her head again, "Amber's in the med-tent ...an' - an' ..."
  725. [2012-07-15 00:36:47] * Moonlight`s_Shimmer heads into the tent and lays down next to the entrance
  726. [2012-07-15 00:37:27] * Kirengo sighs slightly sadly as he walks in. He finds a cot and falls into it, lying upside down and opening his wings to let them hang loosely. He lifts his head up to look at the armor. "Oooooh... nice... Don't forget to leave the patches on."
  727. [2012-07-15 00:37:52] * Precious nods slowly; "I... I remember old man Radar. Did he make it?"
  728. [2012-07-15 00:38:15] <Clipped_Cantle> "You... want the patches on yours?"
  729. [2012-07-15 00:38:31] * Blastwave stands by the door
  730. [2012-07-15 00:39:25] <Zeph|GM> %C3Fruitcake hugs Precious tighter, "Ah don' know; I'm jus' happy yer safe right now."
  731. [2012-07-15 00:39:35] * Kirengo nods. "Of course. I mean, Enclave see a zebra they're probably going to know it's not one of their own, but if they spot the armor and see the patches, they might hesitate long enough to give up an advantage."
  732. [2012-07-15 00:40:17] <Clipped_Cantle> "Could also get us blown up by Rangers. I'd rather look neutral, myself."
  733. [2012-07-15 00:40:24] * Precious hugs her aunt and cousin tightly; "Me too... I w-was coming to visit, but got held up for a couple days. If... if I had gotten here sooner, maybe I could have helped them." She begins to weep openly
  734. [2012-07-15 00:40:42] * Blastwave "There are no Zebra's in the encalve. Unles raiders are blind he won't be mistaken for a patch."
  735. [2012-07-15 00:40:48] <Blastwave> rangers
  736. [2012-07-15 00:40:55] * Kirengo "Rangers have their fancy hostile detector things in their suits."
  737. [2012-07-15 00:41:05] * Blastwave "I miss my EFS
  738. [2012-07-15 00:41:12] <Clipped_Cantle> "A lot of good that did Moon.:
  739. [2012-07-15 00:41:15] <Clipped_Cantle> "
  740. [2012-07-15 00:41:43] * Blastwave "Moon is an Alicorn, she would not be mistaken for Encalve either."
  741. [2012-07-15 00:41:47] <Blastwave> Enclave*
  742. [2012-07-15 00:41:47] * Kirengo "Anyone who would shoot at me for that patch would shoot at Moon for being what she is anyway."
  743. [2012-07-15 00:41:58] * Moonlight`s_Shimmer blinks and looks at Clipped_Cantle
  744. [2012-07-15 00:42:11] * Blastwave "If they are close enough to see a ptach, they are close enough to notice he's a zebra with giant bat wings..."
  745. [2012-07-15 00:42:59] * Kirengo sighs. "It's a gamble, I know, and if I do it right they won't even see me in the first place... But on the off chance their hesitation saves my or your life?"
  746. [2012-07-15 00:43:07] <Clipped_Cantle> "If there are no zebras in the Enclave, the Enclave isn't exactly going to hesitate over a patch either... I just really don't want to be associated with that group. At all."
  747. [2012-07-15 00:43:38] * Blastwave shrugs
  748. [2012-07-15 00:43:52] * Clipped_Cantle shrugs too. "But if that's what you want... its your armor, I guess."
  749. [2012-07-15 00:44:16] <Zeph|GM> %C3Fruitcake and Laurel slowly get up, helping Precious up, too. Fruitcake kisses Precious forehead again, "Sush, filly; Ya with us now." Laurel nod-nods, his face streaked with tears, but he's smiling slightly.
  750. [2012-07-15 00:44:54] <Clipped_Cantle> "What about you Blast? You want me to take them off... or you keeping them?"
  751. [2012-07-15 00:45:02] * Blastwave "Take them off."
  752. [2012-07-15 00:45:11] * Precious nods slowly; "Yeah... now. Oh Auntie, oh Laurel." She pulls the two of them close and just sobs into them
  753. [2012-07-15 00:45:36] * Kirengo "Thanks for the armor, and for modifying it, I just think any little bit of shock, surprise, or deception can help... Even if I -am- a zebra with giant bat wings."
  754. [2012-07-15 00:46:09] * Blastwave looks at the wings and look back, "You wear them well."
  755. [2012-07-15 00:46:38] * Kirengo blinks then looks at Blastwave. "Uh... Thanks."
  756. [2012-07-15 00:46:38] <Zeph|GM> %C3Ginger nuzzles Precious, whining quietly.
  757. [2012-07-15 00:46:46] * Clipped_Cantle nods. "Alright. Shouldn't take /too/ long. I'll go talk to Ratchet about using their equipment. I'll need the armor though, Blast." She looks at Kirengo. "Yeah, no problem. I get why you're doing it... just my personal preference."
  758. [2012-07-15 00:47:27] * Blastwave takes off his armour and hoofs it over before going back to passively staring at the door
  759. [2012-07-15 00:48:01] <Clipped_Cantle> "Alright, be back soon. If you see Precious, send her over to Ratchet's tent so I can modify hers too."
  760. [2012-07-15 00:48:27] * Blastwave "Just so."
  761. [2012-07-15 00:48:30] * Precious pets Ginger softly, wlecoming her into the hug. "Amber... how is she? I came here with... friends. One of them is a medic, maybe she can help."
  762. [2012-07-15 00:48:35] * Kirengo "Alright. Thanks." He closes his eyes and drops his head back to the bed.
  763. [2012-07-15 00:48:35] <Zeph|GM> %C3Torch peeks into the party's tent, still in full armor.
  764. [2012-07-15 00:48:57] * Clipped_Cantle smiles at Torch. "Hey, glad you made it."
  765. [2012-07-15 00:49:29] * Moonlight`s_Shimmer blinks up at Torch "Hello"
  766. [2012-07-15 00:49:57] * Blastwave looks at torch and salutes, "Sir."
  767. [2012-07-15 00:50:14] <Moonlight`s_Shimmer> "Do you require aid? We are not doing anything at the moment and do not require sleep"
  768. [2012-07-15 00:51:31] <Zeph|GM> %C3Torch nods at Clipped_Cantle, "You were a great help. Don't think we could have done it this smoothly without you." She looks to Blastwave, "Don't sir me, I'm a deserter now." She taps her armor, looking at Clipped_Cantle, "Sorry for eavesdropping, but I was passing by and heard you talk about getting these symbols off..."
  769. [2012-07-15 00:52:09] * Blastwave "As far as I can tell, Sir, so am I."
  770. [2012-07-15 00:52:37] * Clipped_Cantle nods. "We were. I can take them off for you, if you want."
  771. [2012-07-15 00:53:38] <Zeph|GM> %C3Torch nods, "Thanks, ...um; after you." She steps outside the tent.
  772. [2012-07-15 00:53:42] * Kirengo lifts his head once again from his upside down position and looks at Torch.
  773. [2012-07-15 00:54:03] * Clipped_Cantle nods and heads for Ratchet's tent.
  774. [2012-07-15 00:54:17] <Zeph|GM> %C3Torch tilts her head at Kirengo, "What?"
  775. [2012-07-15 00:54:33] * Clipped_Cantle stops and waits for Torch.
  776. [2012-07-15 00:54:40] * Precious looks to Laurel and Fruitcake, her face and mane a mess, but looking slightly more resolute; "I don't wanna see anypony else die." She's still openly crying
  777. [2012-07-15 00:55:03] <Zeph|GM> %C3Toech wingshugs and turns to follow Clipped_Cantle.
  778. [2012-07-15 00:55:20] * Kirengo "Nothing." He drops his head back again.
  779. [2012-07-15 00:55:28] * Moonlight`s_Shimmer gets up and heads out of the tent, she didn't have anything better to do. Maybe she could find someone who needed her help or something
  780. [2012-07-15 00:55:37] * Clipped_Cantle continues to Ratchet's tent.
  781. [2012-07-15 00:55:51] * Blastwave sighs and goes back too guarding
  782. [2012-07-15 00:56:38] * Moonlight`s_Shimmer sits outside the tent and looks around for anyone who looks like they need help. She hates laying around and doing nothing
  783. [2012-07-15 00:56:47] <Zeph|GM> %C3Furitcake strokes Precious' mane, smiling weakly. She is also crying, "Neither do I, sweetie; you look awful..."
  784. [2012-07-15 00:57:14] * Blastwave is alone in the tent with Kirengo...
  785. [2012-07-15 00:57:15] <Zeph|GM> %C3Torch follows Clipped_Cantle into Ratchet's tent.
  786. [2012-07-15 00:57:44] <Zeph|GM> %C3Ratchet is snoring at the workbench.
  787. [2012-07-15 00:57:47] * Precious smiles weakly; "I know... and to think I was going to see about earning my way into Tenpony after my visit. They'd just laugh at me now." She gives a weak chuckle
  788. [2012-07-15 00:58:02] * Clipped_Cantle gently prods Ratchet with a hoof.
  789. [2012-07-15 00:58:08] * Kirengo is alone in the tent with Blastwave. Commence awkward silence.
  790. [2012-07-15 00:58:23] * Blastwave coughs into his hoof and goes back to staring... at the door
  791. [2012-07-15 00:58:45] <Zeph|GM> %C3Fruitcake chuckles back and nuzzles Precious, "Ya too good for 'em, Precious."
  792. [2012-07-15 00:59:31] <Zeph|GM> %C3Ratchet snorts loudly and jerks his head up, "Who - ? Wha- ? What cheese?"
  793. [2012-07-15 01:00:29] * Clipped_Cantle chuckles a little. "You normally sleep at your bench, Ratchet?"
  794. [2012-07-15 01:01:10] * Precious smiles; "I'm still me; but I saw no reason to not be me with a nice place to settle down between treasure hunts." She chuckles softly again, feeling only slightly better. Two of her family and one of her friends had survived... that was more than she had expected but less than she had hoped. There was an old saying about counting your blessings wasn't there...
  795. [2012-07-15 01:02:54] * Kirengo scratches his belly with the claw on one of his wings.
  796. [2012-07-15 01:03:24] * Moonlight`s_Shimmer looks around some more
  797. [2012-07-15 01:03:31] * Blastwave kicks at the ground. "So... how about... them bloodwings?"
  798. [2012-07-15 01:03:41] * Precious reluctantly releases her family and looks to the tent flap; "I'm going to the medical tent to check on Amber. Once I make sure she's okay, I'll come back for the night. I promise."
  799. [2012-07-15 01:04:28] <Zeph|GM> %C3Fruitcake continues to stroke Precious' mane, smiling tiredly. She hugs Laurel to her as Precious gets up and nods, "Us an' Ginger 'll be waiting."
  800. [2012-07-15 01:04:29] * Kirengo lets his wing drop back down. "You know if I didn't know better I'd say you wanted to actually see a bloodwing."
  801. [2012-07-15 01:04:35] <Kirengo> better,*
  802. [2012-07-15 01:05:02] * Precious nods and exits the refugee tent, heading straight for the medical tent
  803. [2012-07-15 01:05:20] * Moonlight`s_Shimmer waves at Precious
  804. [2012-07-15 01:05:22] * Blastwave looks over, "I'm curious. Untill... recently I thought the monster stories the Enclave told us were lies so we would go below and get irradiated."
  805. [2012-07-15 01:06:15] * Clipped_Cantle waits on Ratchet's response... it appears he wakes up slowly.
  806. [2012-07-15 01:06:48] <Zeph|GM> %C3The medical tent is quiet, but filled with subtle sounds of the doctor ponies and the stench of antiseptic and blood.
  807. [2012-07-15 01:07:24] * Kirengo rolls over onto his side so he can look at Blastwave easier. "I'd be willing to bet there were plenty of lies in there, but we have our monsters. Bloodwings; hellhounds, even if they are sentient; massive fire breathing ants; until very recently alicorns..."
  808. [2012-07-15 01:07:25] <Zeph|GM> %C3Ratchet turns around to Clipped_Cantle, "Huh? Oh! Yeah! Filly, I'm tired. Did you need something?"
  809. [2012-07-15 01:08:26] * Blastwave looks over, "That sounds unpleasent. Excuse me if this comes off as rude, but how did life survive down here? between the radiation, the monsters, and the ponies that use corpses as bombs..."
  810. [2012-07-15 01:08:41] <Moonlight`s_Shimmer> It's a good thing Moonlight`s_Shimmer is outside
  811. [2012-07-15 01:08:54] * Precious contemplates things as she moves between the tents. She had told Fruitcake that she was still herself but... was she really? She looked at herself, laiden with salvaged weapons. True, she had planned to give away or sell most of them, but she still intended one for herself, which she had never done before. She walks right into Moonlight while lost in thought
  812. [2012-07-15 01:08:58] <Clipped_Cantle> "Wanted to see if I could use your bench to make this armor" she hefts Kirengo's armor "wearable by non-pegasi and remove the Enclave symbology and stuff." She looks at her saddle. "Maybe make some modifications to my saddle."
  813. [2012-07-15 01:09:16] * Moonlight`s_Shimmer blinks "Hello Precious!"
  814. [2012-07-15 01:10:07] * Precious realizes she ran into somepony and looks up to apologize; "Oh, sorry Moonlight. Um... how are things? I was just heading to the medical tent... apparently a friend of mine is there."
  815. [2012-07-15 01:10:52] * Moonlight`s_Shimmer "We are fine. We are...trying to find something to do. We do not like to lay around and feel useless, especially since we do not need sleep"
  816. [2012-07-15 01:11:23] <Zeph|GM> %C3Ratchet yawns and nods at Clipped_Cantle, "Uhhg, yah, ya can." He gets out a pair of earmuffs and puts them on his head before saying loudly, "Ah'll be gonna bed 'er summin'... go nuts." He stumbles past Torch, barely noticing her and flops onto a cot, snoring immediately.
  817. [2012-07-15 01:12:12] * Kirengo "Well the fact that we can't grow food because we can't get any sunlight certainly doesn't help. But there's all kinds of food from during the war that still survives, either you eat that or you hunt and eat animals. As for the rest... if you don't learn how to fight or if you can't get good at somewhere else and find a settlement where you can get others to protect you... you don't
  818. [2012-07-15 01:12:13] * Kirengo survive. There's a good reason you'll find that most around here are good at fighting, and that's because the raiders or slavers would've killed them if they weren't. Friendship City was one of the very few places you could go and actually be safe and not have to fight..."
  819. [2012-07-15 01:12:18] <Moonlight`s_Shimmer> "Oh, we almost forgot, Clipped said she wanted to see you in Rachet's tent, for you armor"
  820. [2012-07-15 01:12:46] * Precious nods; "Well...you can come with me if you like. I don't know what condition my friend is in, but maybe you can help." She then continues towards the medical tent, glancing back once to see if Moonlight was indeed following her
  821. [2012-07-15 01:12:54] * Blastwave nods slowly, "Everyone must have a lot of kids to sustain that type of ecosystem..."
  822. [2012-07-15 01:13:22] <Zeph|GM> %C3Torch blinks at him behind her helmet before trotting to the side and begins taking off her power armor, leaving the blue mare with her recon armor.
  823. [2012-07-15 01:14:12] * Moonlight`s_Shimmer follows Precious
  824. [2012-07-15 01:15:18] * Kirengo "The rampant sex because you're not sure if you'll be alive tomorrow and the regular rape from slavers does that, yeah."
  825. [2012-07-15 01:16:11] <Zeph|GM> %C3The medical tent is quiet, but filled with subtle sounds of the doctor ponies and the stench of antiseptic and blood.
  826. [2012-07-15 01:16:23] * Blastwave ughs at the mention of rape. "That is... quite the opposite where I come from. Longer life spans, but not much food, so we are encouraged to not reproduce, or stick with someone of the same gender."
  827. [2012-07-15 01:18:18] * Kirengo blinks. "Food's only really a problem down here if you refuse to eat meat... and you're lucky if you make it to forty. Wait... how do you even get food up there?"
  828. [2012-07-15 01:19:05] * Blastwave "Cloud seedinG>"
  829. [2012-07-15 01:19:11] <Blastwave> seeding*
  830. [2012-07-15 01:19:19] * Precious looks around, trying to find her friend. Amber had been an amber coated earth pony buck with a green mane.
  831. [2012-07-15 01:19:37] * Kirengo "Seed... clouds... and grow food?"
  832. [2012-07-15 01:20:17] * Blastwave "Clouds around the SPP Towers can grow food, but only in limited amounts"
  833. [2012-07-15 01:20:48] * Kirengo "So what are the rest of the clouds for?"
  834. [2012-07-15 01:21:26] <Zeph|GM> %C3Clipped_Cantle removes the symbols on the armor with great ease. Torch points at her armor and asks, "Could you do me another favor? I managed to snagg something from the officer's armory we couldn't use for the bomb and, well..." She's pointing at a bulky saddlebag containing a quad-rig of flamers.
  835. [2012-07-15 01:21:32] * Blastwave "Living space? Beyond that I do not know>"
  836. [2012-07-15 01:22:07] * Clipped_Cantle looks at Torch, then at the flamers. "Sure, I guess. What do need?"
  837. [2012-07-15 01:22:23] * Kirengo "You couldn't leave a few acres open for us so we could grow our own food?"
  838. [2012-07-15 01:22:38] <Kirengo> Enclave couldn't*
  839. [2012-07-15 01:22:46] <Clipped_Cantle> (do you*)
  840. [2012-07-15 01:22:47] <Zeph|GM> %C3Precious spies Amber after a while of searching. The buck is missing a hindleg, but is otherwise unharmed ...and kinda out cold.
  841. [2012-07-15 01:23:40] * Blastwave blinks at Kirengo, "I thought you were all dead, mutated, or worse. And I was not privvy to the discussion."
  842. [2012-07-15 01:24:39] <Zeph|GM> %C3Torch wingshrugs, "Wasn't allowed to use them for 'safety reasons', but I'd ask the favor of putting them on my saddle if you feel inclined to it."
  843. [2012-07-15 01:25:13] * Clipped_Cantle nods. "Yeah, I can do that." She smiles. "Saddles are kind of my specialty."
  844. [2012-07-15 01:27:06] * Precious trots up to Amber and gasps when she sees his missing limb. Or doesn't see it... whatever. She trots up next to his cot and lays a hoof on his shoulder; "Oh Amber. You didn't deserve this. Nopony did." She starts to cry again
  845. [2012-07-15 01:27:58] * Moonlight`s_Shimmer sits besides Precious. She still has no idea what to say/do in situations like this, so she just lets Precious cry
  846. [2012-07-15 01:29:32] * Kirengo rolls his eyes and sighs. "Yeah yeah... wasters were all ignorant mutated war animals, I remember. Anyway... that's how we survive down here. By fighting for life every single day or managing to worm our way into one of the couple of places where we're actually safe."
  847. [2012-07-15 01:30:39] <Zeph|GM> %C3Clipped_Cantle does an amazing job with the second suit of armor after the success of the first,... but then her exhaustion of the day gets the better of her and she irreparably ruins some of the links in the other two suits, making them not only unfit for purpose, but also making them miss some of their legs.
  848. [2012-07-15 01:30:40] * Precious drops a few tears onto Amber and pets his mane. She attempts to wave one of the doctors over to ask about his condition
  849. [2012-07-15 01:31:18] * Blastwave blinks, "That was not intended as an insult, that is what I truly believed." he looks up at where the sky would be if it werne't for the roof. "Up there it's easy to forget the ground exists. It's so far away, so high, and the wastland was just a myth... those that left the clouds never returned, and their families were treated like dirt..."
  850. [2012-07-15 01:31:18] * Clipped_Cantle sighs. "Well... shit." She rubs her eyes.
  851. [2012-07-15 01:32:37] * Moonlight`s_Shimmer is standing there awkwardly among the medics and docters
  852. [2012-07-15 01:33:41] <Zeph|GM> %C3One of the new pegasus-medics trots over to Precious and Moonlight`s_Shimmer, asking in a tired, friendly tone, "What is it?"
  853. [2012-07-15 01:34:12] * Kirengo tilts his head at Blastwave. "Did you honestly never wonder why?"
  854. [2012-07-15 01:34:25] * Blastwave "Why what?"
  855. [2012-07-15 01:35:02] * Kirengo "Why their families were treated like dirt."
  856. [2012-07-15 01:35:08] * Precious gestures to Amber; "How is he, aside from the leg? Is he gonna make it?"
  857. [2012-07-15 01:35:58] * Clipped_Cantle looks between the two bucked up armors. "Alright... lets see what I can salvage..."
  858. [2012-07-15 01:36:00] * Blastwave "The last time was when I was young, Deadshot Calamity. And his family improve their lot soon after. So no... only now in hindsite:
  859. [2012-07-15 01:36:32] <Zeph|GM> %C3The pegasus medic nods, "He's lost a lot of blood through that wound, but he's gonna pull through; no doubt about that." She sighs, "Friend or family?"
  860. [2012-07-15 01:37:16] * Precious smiles; "Old friend. Admittedly I think he had a crush on me back in school, but I haven't seen him in years."
  861. [2012-07-15 01:37:46] <Zeph|GM> %C3 Clipped_Cantle manages to salvage the two ruined suits into one whole one. Good as new ...almost. Close enough.
  862. [2012-07-15 01:38:46] * Clipped_Cantle nods. "That'll work... now to make it fit..."
  863. [2012-07-15 01:39:07] <Zeph|GM> %C3 Clipped_Cantle makes it damn well fit. Yes, Sir.
  864. [2012-07-15 01:39:51] * Clipped_Cantle puts the newly modified armors in her pack, then turns her attention to Torch's saddle.
  865. [2012-07-15 01:39:52] * Kirengo sighs and rubs his face with a fetlock. "Well..." And suddenly he had no idea what to say... "So... how many pegasi are there?"
  866. [2012-07-15 01:40:27] <Zeph|GM> %C3Torch has finished separating her saddle from her armor and sets it down beside Clipped_Cantle.
  867. [2012-07-15 01:40:48] * Moonlight`s_Shimmer cocks her head at Precious
  868. [2012-07-15 01:40:56] <Zeph|GM> %C3The mare nods and asks Precious, "Anything I can do for you?"
  869. [2012-07-15 01:41:01] * Blastwave "A lot." he sighs and looks away. "Sorry."
  870. [2012-07-15 01:41:12] * Clipped_Cantle smiles, feeling far more comfortable with this, and goes to work.
  871. [2012-07-15 01:42:22] * Kirengo "For what?"
  872. [2012-07-15 01:42:37] <Zeph|GM> %C3 Clipped_Cantle does what she does best with her mechanics skills and fixes the flamer rig snugly into the battle saddle.
  873. [2012-07-15 01:42:38] * Precious nods; "Just make sure he makes it. Too many ponies died in all of this. Would you be able to make him a prosthetic or a peg or something to make up for... that?"
  874. [2012-07-15 01:43:10] * Clipped_Cantle smiles, then looks at Torch. "There you go. Ready to roll."
  875. [2012-07-15 01:43:57] * Blastwave rubs the beck of his head with a hoof, eww squishy. "For not realizing what they were... I look at what they have done and I wonder what would have happened if I stationed there instead of on the thunderhead."
  876. [2012-07-15 01:44:36] <Zeph|GM> %C3Torch nods, grinning, "Thanks." She gets on putting her armor back on, "I got directed to 'bloodwing shift' whatever that means, so I think I'll need this."
  877. [2012-07-15 01:46:02] <Zeph|GM> %C3The pegasus mare shrugs apologetically at Precious, "I'm sorry, I don't know for sure; but from the looks of it, the Rangers don't lack resources. He'll walk again, but it'll be a little while, at least..."
  878. [2012-07-15 01:46:43] * Precious nods; "Okay... he was a hoofball player when we were kids. Don't want him to lose out."
  879. [2012-07-15 01:46:52] * Clipped_Cantle winces. "Bloodwings...? Eeesh. I haven't seen any of the things... but I saw some of their victims. Apparently they can drain a pony of all their blood... in seconds... it... was not pretty. Be careful."
  880. [2012-07-15 01:47:31] * Kirengo "Just how far along the path have you gone in that wondering?"
  881. [2012-07-15 01:48:01] * Kirengo "Get to recieving the order to blow up Friendship City yet?"
  882. [2012-07-15 01:48:02] * Moonlight`s_Shimmer "If it means anything Precious, we hope he gets better"
  883. [2012-07-15 01:48:12] * Blastwave "Yes..."
  884. [2012-07-15 01:48:48] * Precious looks to Moonlight, still very much a mess herself and smiles appreciatively; "Thank you. It looks like he'll recover... eventually."
  885. [2012-07-15 01:49:15] * Kirengo "So what would've happened?"
  886. [2012-07-15 01:49:18] * Moonlight`s_Shimmer smiles "That is good"
  887. [2012-07-15 01:49:24] <Zeph|GM> %C3Torch nods and finishes putting on her armor as she dons the helmet with a sealing hiss. She says with a metallic voice from inside her helmet, "Yeah, well, I got armor, wings and now, thanks to you a large weapons spread, so that's gotta count for something." She nods, "Thanks for the warning, though. Good night," and trots out.
  888. [2012-07-15 01:50:02] * Clipped_Cantle yawns and rubs her eyes, debating on whether she wanted to mount those laser rifles now... or later...
  889. [2012-07-15 01:50:05] * Blastwave looks over at Kirengo, "I... don't know."
  890. [2012-07-15 01:51:15] <Zeph|GM> %C3The pegasus medic nods at Precious and Moonlight`s_Shimmer, "I'll leave you to yourselves if you prefer."
  891. [2012-07-15 01:51:48] * Kirengo chews on his tongue then slowly nods. "Not the best answer... at least it's the truthful one."
  892. [2012-07-15 01:51:57] * Precious turns away from Amber and leans her head against the alicorn's shoulder. She's crying again. "None of them deserved this Moonlight. Why did this happen? Why couldn't I have been there with them?"
  893. [2012-07-15 01:53:04] * Blastwave sighs and looks at the ground, "I would like to say I would have done what Torch did. Say no, but... but I am unsure. What if I wouldn't have said no? It's easy to stand here in retrospect, but to be truthful I do not know>"
  894. [2012-07-15 01:53:14] * Moonlight`s_Shimmer flinches slightly at the physical contact "W-we believe it is not your fault. You could not have predicted this."
  895. [2012-07-15 01:54:23] <Zeph|GM> %C3Yo dawg, I heard you like modified armor, so Clipped_Cantle modified Blastwave's armor, so she can modify the modified armor into armor he can wear...
  896. [2012-07-15 01:56:14] * Kirengo "If you didn't say no, you wouldn't be here right now to wonder whether you should have or not. I'd like to think you would've said no, though."
  897. [2012-07-15 01:57:21] * Blastwave nods, "I... would like to think that too." he sighs. "Sorry. It's just a lot... of shit. Thank you. I'll bother you no furhter, goodnight."
  898. [2012-07-15 01:57:44] * Precious nods slowly; "No... the ones at fault are dead. But this... I don't know if I can take it all. I... I need to lay down."
  899. [2012-07-15 01:57:58] * Clipped_Cantle decides to go ahead and swap the .32 on her saddle out for her laser rifles. See if she can't link them up, too.
  900. [2012-07-15 01:58:16] * Moonlight`s_Shimmer "We understand, you must be tired"
  901. [2012-07-15 02:00:08] <Zeph|GM> %C3 Clipped_Cantle now has dual, linked Magical Beam Rifles on her battle saddle. She feels *ahem* 'tired as all fuck' by now and can already hear the bloodwings in the night, despite her bad ears.
  902. [2012-07-15 02:01:04] * Kirengo "Yeah... yeah it is." He pauses. "If you feel like you need to talk, just wake me up." Give him some sort of outlet other than holding it in and going feral... for real this time... He rolls back over onto his back and lets his wings flop. "Usiema."
  903. [2012-07-15 02:01:43] * Precious exits the medical tent, drooping a little as she walked, and returning to the refugee camp like she promised.
  904. [2012-07-15 02:01:59] * Blastwave nods and goes back to guarding the door. He repeats the word back despite not knowing what it means. "Usiema"
  905. [2012-07-15 02:02:09] * Clipped_Cantle tiredly puts her saddle back on and scoops up the three armors. She heads back to the party's tent, not moving very fast and yawning a /lot/.
  906. [2012-07-15 02:02:12] * Moonlight`s_Shimmer follows Precious out "We are going to check on Clipped if that is alright Precious"
  907. [2012-07-15 02:02:54] * Moonlight`s_Shimmer blinks when she sees Clipped and heads over to her, levitating the armor she was carrying "You look tired"
  908. [2012-07-15 02:03:00] * Precious nods and passes one of the looted rifles to Moonlight; "Give her this, he was gonna put it on her saddle I think."
  909. [2012-07-15 02:03:05] * Kirengo blinks as Blast repeats goodnight back to him in zebra, but decides not to question it and just close his eyes and try to get some sleep after a very busy day.
  910. [2012-07-15 02:03:18] * Moonlight`s_Shimmer takes the rifle in her TK as well
  911. [2012-07-15 02:03:41] <Zeph|GM> %C3Clipped_Cantle becomes very much aware that there is shooting going on; directed upwards, where two pegasi with beam weapons and Torch with her flamers are fighting the bloodwings in the skies over the camp.
  912. [2012-07-15 02:03:57] * Moonlight`s_Shimmer doesn't take the rifle because Clipped alread has it? idklol
  913. [2012-07-15 02:04:14] <Precious> *she
  914. [2012-07-15 02:04:47] * Precious shrugs and returns to the refugee tent. She sets down all her gear and gives a yawn as she looks around to find her family again
  915. [2012-07-15 02:05:18] <Zeph|GM> %C3Fruitcake and Laurel are already passed out from the day's exhaustion, only Ginger awake to greet Precious with quiet barks.
  916. [2012-07-15 02:05:29] * Clipped_Cantle nods to Moonlight`s_Shimmer, glancing up in the sky. She sighs... too damn tired for this... "Yeah, I am... got the armor all fixed up. Go on, get to the tent before those bloodwings find you.
  917. [2012-07-15 02:05:30] <Clipped_Cantle> "
  918. [2012-07-15 02:05:45] * Precious nuzles Ginger and lays down in a cot near her family, stroking the dog weakly until she too passed into sleep
  919. [2012-07-15 02:07:06] * Moonlight`s_Shimmer looks up at the sky "We are going to help them" she throws up her shield "You should get some rest Clipped" she levitates the armor into the tent "Good night" she takes off towards the gunshots
  920. [2012-07-15 02:07:30] * Blastwave blinks at Moonlight`s_Shimmer...
  921. [2012-07-15 02:08:31] * Clipped_Cantle snorts. "Like I'm going to sleep when there's ponies out here dying." She turns to head toward the medical tent.
  922. [2012-07-15 02:12:49] * Clipped_Cantle steps inside the medical tent. "Here to lend a hoof."
  923. [2012-07-15 02:13:49] <Moonlight`s_Shimmer> XD
  924. [2012-07-15 02:13:52] <Moonlight`s_Shimmer> (OOPS)
