[10:09] <~Zeph|GM> 3After having a cup of coffee(most of them, at least), we find our group for the most part, on the deck of their boat with no name, docked by Applejack's Rangers' Bucklyn Base in the dim light of the last morning under the unbroken curtain of clouds.
[10:09] <~Zeph|GM> 10~~~~~~SESSION 10~~~~~~
[10:09] <~Zeph|GM> 10~~~DAY 10: SUNSHINE~~~
15[10:10] * +Kirengo gives a short sigh, still cuddling with Blast. "Should probably not waste much more time before going to see Split."
04[10:10] * +Blastwave is, if I am not mistaken, still snuggling Kirengo in public for +10 PDA. "Yeah, I guess if we must."
07[10:11] * +Clipped_Cantle nods, likely from beneath Moonlight`s_Shimmer's wing.
04[10:11] * +Alias looks to Kirengo; "I'm still staying put right? Anypony gonna keep me company?"
07[10:11] * +Mercury takes out her other two hoofguns and sets them on the table with her helmet.
07[10:12] * +Blastwave looks at alias and nods, "Fish is here, and you can always check on that poor mare... who we really should get to the local hospitally people
15[10:12] * +Kirengo "Well there's Fish."
07[10:13] * +Mercury clacks the Novaburst gun against her helmet’s empty slot rather ineffectually. "Now how in Discord's name did the techs get these things in?"
07[10:14] * +Alias raises an eyebrow; "Didn't you say she got hit with a shotgun or something? The ghoul has the right idea I think."
[10:14] <~Zeph|GM> 3Guns aren't mounted on the helmet.
07[10:14] * +Mercury looks up. "I assume it is only a Ranger thing, so I am probably going to be here."
07[10:14] * +Blastwave looks at Mercury, "I was never sure, so just in case I always kept my mechanics well fed and happy. They have a black art, and I did not want to anger them."
07[10:14] * +Blastwave "No, Fish got shotgunned, the other mare just got..." his voice trailed off. "Yes, with the hospital..."
07[10:14] * +Clipped_Cantle blinks. "Yeah, we should get her to medical." She looks over at Mercury. "Huh? Oh, if you want I can mount that for you later, probably."

06[10:16] * Set by [email protected] on Sun Aug 05 05:39:29
06[10:16] * ChanServ sets mode: +v RainbowYoshi
[10:17] <~Zeph|GM> 3Mercury has a mostly empty integrated 2x light Novasurge Plasma saddle.
13[10:17] * +Kirengo ([email protected]) Quit (Killed (NickServ (GHOST command used by RainbowYoshi)))
06[10:17] * RainbowYoshi is now known as Kirengo
07[10:18] * +Mercury looks over to Clipped_Cantle. "Thanks... Oh! As we aren't doing anything else, we could take the two ladies to the clinic if you like."
07[10:18] * +Blastwave "I thought it was just lady, singular, or are you taking Fish too?"
07[10:18] * ~Fish_Stick 3is still in the engine room, after she drank her coffee.
07[10:19] * +Alias shrugs; "I'm used to being by myself, so it's fine."
07[10:19] * +Clipped_Cantle frowns.
15[10:19] * +Kirengo "Fish is fine. It's just the other mare. But she's not even awake yet. Alias and Fish can stay here with her while we go talk to Split, then we can come back and figure out what to do with them."
07[10:20] * +Clipped_Cantle nods. "I like that idea better."
07[10:21] * +Blastwave "Fearless leader has spoken, march."
07[10:21] * +Blastwave exits stage left
07[10:22] * +Mercury blinks. "Are you sure the Rangers would want me around their HQ?"
07[10:23] * +Clipped_Cantle trots into the engine room. "Hey, Fish, we're heading out to go talk to Paladin Split. You mind staying here with Alias and that mare?"
15[10:23] * +Kirengo blinks at Mercury. "We -met- in their HQ."
07[10:24] * +Blastwave is waiting upstairs. back when he was alive if he told ponies to march they'd follow without question.
07[10:24] * ~Fish_Stick 3looks up from the engine at Clipped_Cantle, sweating in her Scribe's Robes from the Spark~Motor's vicinity, saying with a wrench in  her muzzle, "Mphf-kuay!"
07[10:25] * +Mercury shrugs. "I get shot, I'm haunting you," she says playfully as she follows. She waves to Alias and Fish_Stick as she goes, putting her helmet back on with her wing.
15[10:27] * +Kirengo "Okay..." He shakes his head and gets up. "Well, we got the plan, let's get going..." He waits for Clipped to come back up from the engine room before walking out and up onto the deck.
07[10:27] * +Blastwave is tapping his hoof as he waits, "About time. It's a sad day when the dead moves faster than you guys."
15[10:28] * +Kirengo "Well you kinda just got up and left."
07[10:29] * +Clipped_Cantle nods to Fish_Stick. "Thanks Fish. See you in a bit." She waves to the scribe, then heads up with the rest of the group.
07[10:29] * +Blastwave "it was basically just so I could make that lame joke."
07[10:29] * +Mercury adjusts her cloak to cover her missing wing. "Cute."
15[10:30] * +Kirengo snorts and bumps into Blastwave as he passes, then jumps from the boat to land and head into Bucklyn to see Split.
07[10:30] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer follows Clipped_Cantle
07[10:30] * ~Fish_Stick 3nods and slots a spark battery into the machine, before starting to close up the small hatch she was working on.
04[10:30] * +Blastwave stumbles a little at the bumb because Kirengo is hulklike and says to Mercury as he follows, "Who'se cute?"
04[10:31] * +Clipped_Cantle nuzzles Moonlight`s_Shimmer, then heads after Kirengo.
07[10:32] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer nuzzles Clipped back, following her
[10:32] <+Blastwave> bump*
07[10:33] * +Mercury giggles, seeming very odd coming from the insectiod armor. "Well you are. You and your dashing coltfriends there. And here he said that Moon and Clipped were the ones who would give me diabetes."
[10:33] <~Zeph|GM> 3The base is guarded as normal on the outside, albeit less active on the inside with everypony at their post and only a few Scribes and Friendship Survivors passing through the hallways and foyer.
07[10:34] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer headtilts at Mercury "We...cannot give diabetes..."
07[10:34] * +Blastwave blushes and walks faster, "You're crazy lady." he walks a fet meters ahead of her, stops, and turns his head around to look at her very seriously. "Crazy."
07[10:35] * +Alias makes her way down into the bowels of the ship to observe Fish_Stick. She may have been used to working alone, but that didn't mean she was an introvert. She observes the mare working curiously for a moment before asking; "This thing is what makes the boat go, right?"
15[10:35] * +Kirengo is just walking his nekkid self in front of everyone else, mostly ignoring them, and heading for the briefing room.
07[10:36] * +Clipped_Cantle blushes faintly, then looks at Moonlight`s_Shimmer. "It's a... joke, Moon. Sort of. Figure of speech. She means it's really sweet... basically."
07[10:36] * +Mercury snickers again at Blastwave and looks up to Moonlight`s_Shimmer. "It is an expression for something very cute."
07[10:36] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer "Okay..."
07[10:37] * ~Fish_Stick 3wipes her brow and drops the wrench into her toolbox, after finishing what she was doing, before turning to Alias, "Yeah, this' what makes tha boat go."
04[10:37] * +Clipped_Cantle smiles and follows Kirengo to the briefing room.
04[10:37] * +Blastwave goes trotting after Kirengo, Fast zebras are fast, and is definatly not using his position behind Kiren to stare at his ass
[10:38] <~Zeph|GM> 3Instead of Banana Split, you find Paladin Rock Steady at the desk, the enormous stallion looking up as the others enter, saying, "Ah; I've heard you succeeded."
07[10:40] * +Alias nods and sits on her haunches, observing the engine; "I've done some work wiht pre-war tech, Mostly terminals. This is something else though."
07[10:40] * +Clipped_Cantle looks around a moment, then nods to Rock. "Sure did."
07[10:40] * +Mercury is taking up the rear, not using SATS to sneak an ogle here and there… Nope… <.<   >.>. She looks up at the large, Ranger stallion. “Wow.”
07[10:41] * +Blastwave "You've heard correct."
15[10:41] * +Kirengo "That we did. With the help of yet another Enclave officer and an appearance changing spy."
[10:42] <~Zeph|GM> 3Rock raises an eyebrow, "I know about miss Mercury - I gave clearance - but what is this about a spy?"
07[10:43] * +Blastwave "We try to pick up as many deadly and unique mercanaries as possible."
07[10:43] * +Mercury nods to Rock and takes off her helmet to hold under her wing.
15[10:43] * +Kirengo "Ran into her at the tower trying to sneak her away into it. Instead got her working for us. Without her lock picking we wouldn't have been able to finish the mission."
07[10:44] * ~Fish_Stick 3nods to Alias, "Well, yeah: It ain' a terminal. This' a bunch different then that: It makes the boat move."
07[10:45] * +Clipped_Cantle nods. "She was definitely a big help. Don't really trust her though, so we left her back on the boat. To be safe."
07[10:45] * +Alias snickers; "Yes, now that we've established that, perhaps you could help me understand how it works."
04[10:45] <~Zeph|GM> 3Rock nods at Kirengo, "Who does this spy work for and do you know what she was after?"
15[10:46] * +Kirengo "Herself and... any and all information she could get her hooves on at all as far as I could tell." He nods as Clipped_Cantle speaks as well.
[10:48] <~Zeph|GM> 3Rock frowns, "Well, I heavily suggest you continue to keep an eye on her if you can. We don't want her to have what we just gained though you mission compromised by a merc like that."
[10:48] <~Zeph|GM> 3-her*
07[10:48] * +Blastwave "Thank you Rock, we never would have thought of keeping an eye on a spy without your help."
15[10:49] * +Kirengo "What did we just-" he snerks at Blast, "we just gain?"
07[10:49] * +Clipped_Cantle nods. "We will, Pala-" She stops and chuckles as Blastwave speaks.
07[10:49] * +Mercury "If it helps, she didn't access the comms systems, just the database with a general clearance."
[10:51] <~Zeph|GM> 3Rock snorts and chuckles, "Cheeky." He taps a few keys on the comparatively miniscule terminal in front of him, saying to the group, "So... I've got good news, bad news and some really, really shitty news."
07[10:51] * +Blastwave "Good news first."
07[10:51] * +Clipped_Cantle 's smile fades. "Great..." She sighs and leans against Moonlight`s_Shimmer.
15[10:52] * +Kirengo has a case of deja vu and goes to open his mouth for the worst news, but Blast beats him to it.
07[10:52] * +Blastwave defeats deja vu
07[10:52] * ~Fish_Stick 3shrugs, "How it works? Well, shiet, Ah could try ta explain, but this just don' work like tha'." She pats the plate of the motor, smiling.
07[10:52] * +Mercury nods.
[10:53] <~Zeph|GM> 3Rock nods and says, "Good news is: You completed your mission, giving us access to Enclave comms and the databases connected to that tower, as well as allowing us to use it as a communication platform of our own."
07[10:54] * +Alias smirks; "Sensitive is it? Not the first time I've heard that kind of sentiment for a machine. Used to think it was a little strange, but it seems a lit more common than I originally thought."
07[10:55] * +Clipped_Cantle nods. It was kind of obvious to her that had been done... "So what's the bad news?"
07[10:55] * +Mercury nods. "I am sorry I couldn't get the observation systems transferred as well."
15[10:57] * +Kirengo "Thought we'd get new good news... but that's still good, I guess. Next?"
[10:57] <~Zeph|GM> 3Rock nods to Mercury, "You did good work, regardless," before he indicates the screen of the terminal, detailing a listing of the Enclave's current military force, "The bad news is: While we now know what kind of force the Enclave has Éwe really, really don't like it."
[10:59] <~Zeph|GM> 3and we*
07[11:00] * +Mercury "Yeah. But there are was to win other than martial might."
07[11:00] * +Blastwave "Exactly. Explosives."
07[11:01] * +Clipped_Cantle blinks at the terminal. "Well... that fucking sucks." She looks at Mercury. "Yeah, but being outgunned sure as hell makes it harder."
15[11:01] * +Kirengo blinks at the screen. "You have got to be kidding..."
[11:02] <~Zeph|GM> 3Rock snorts, "Even then ya need some damn kind of leverage and we don't have any o' that against them."
07[11:04] * +Clipped_Cantle closes her eyes. "If that's the /bad/ news... what's the shitty news?"
07[11:04] * +Blastwave wonders why they didn't just ask him about the encalve military force...
07[11:04] * ~Fish_Stick 3shrugs as she closes her toolbox, saying, "Ya gotta treat it right, is tha first rule. It ain' jus' some tool: It's got a life of it's own, ya know?"
07[11:04] * +Mercury taps her chest and then points to Blastwave. "Ponies like us. There are more of us than you may think. A little insurrection and a change in regiem should do the trick."
07[11:05] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer "Well...we did not expect there to be this many...they however, certainitely do not require that many ships if they know how to use them..."
[11:06] <~Zeph|GM> 3Rock turns the terminal back, saying, "Well, the bad-and-or-shitty-is-an-understatement news is: We're about to get fucked, soon, and the Friendship evacuees right along with us. We pulled a comm, not three hours ago, about an Enclave firing position on top of Belle Tower to the north, overlooking the Bucklyn Cross area - And I mean the big kind of gun is gonna be pointed at us."
[11:07] <+Moonlight`s_Shimmer> "Define, 'big kind of gun'."
07[11:07] * +Blastwave "I've always wanted to start a rebellion."
[11:07] <+Clipped_Cantle> "Whoa, what?"
[11:08] <~Zeph|GM> 3Rock, "Apparently it's the kind of gun that's on the ships that melted friendship city - that kind of big."
07[11:08] * +Blastwave "That's the worst kind."
[11:08] <~Zeph|GM> 3Friendship City*
15[11:08] * +Kirengo blinks at Rock. "And they're going to fire... on the base... and everyone here?"
07[11:08] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer is silent for a moment "That is very big."
07[11:09] * +Clipped_Cantle 's eyes widen. "Oh, shit."
07[11:09] * +Mercury nods. "A Novasurge Cannon."
[11:09] <+Clipped_Cantle> "Why is everyone still here, then? We need to evacuate!"
[11:10] <+Moonlight`s_Shimmer> "How much time do we have?"
04[11:10] <~Zeph|GM> 3Rock nods at Kirengo, "That's what it sounds like and we can't do shit about it from here. If we weaken the defense to evacuate they can just come down on us right quick and don't even need the gun."
07[11:11] * +Clipped_Cantle curses under her breath.
15[11:12] * +Kirengo 's rump falls to the ground. "No... they can't... First Friendship City and now here? They can't..."
04[11:12] * +Blastwave looks over at Kirengo and then back at Rock, "So, where is it, and how can we destroy it?"
07[11:12] * +Clipped_Cantle looks up at Rock. "Where is this Belle Tower?"
[11:13] <~Zeph|GM> 3Rock says to the group, answering Moonlight`s_Shimmer, "From the comm we pulled, the setup should commence in less than three hours. I don't know how long until it's operational, but we're shifting supplies and ponies into the lower levels as we speak."
04[11:13] * +Mercury nudges Kirengo. "We still have two all access cards for those towers."
[11:13] <+Moonlight`s_Shimmer> "We need to stop them somehow."
15[11:14] * +Kirengo shakes his head at Mercury. "It's not an SPP Tower. Unless those tags can get us inside of those ships, to..."
[11:15] <~Zeph|GM> 3Rock looks to Clipped_Cantle, saying, "It's one of the more intact buildings in Mane, just north outside of Bucklyn, with a clear line of fire to this base."
15[11:16] * +Kirengo looks at Rock. "Are they setting up a raptor there, or are they just transporting the gun?"
04[11:16] * +Mercury nods to Kirengo. "They should. Mine is an officer and the other is a captain."
07[11:17] * +Blastwave "We need to steal a sky tank and ram it into the gun."
04[11:17] * +Clipped_Cantle nods and nuzzles Moonlight`s_Shimmer. "Yeah we do. Not going to just sit here. We've got to do something!" She looks back to Rock. "Setup's starting in three hours? Probably take more than a minute to get it set up, too." She looks at Kirengo. "You know where this place is? How far is it?"
04[11:18] <~Zeph|GM> 3Rock shakes his head at Kirengo, "As far as I know it's a stationary, relocatable weapon. ...like a really bug MEW mortar."
07[11:18] * +Mercury tilts her head at Blastwave. "That is a waste. You are fighting a war, and that is one big gun."
07[11:19] * +Blastwave "Just giving options other than charge enemy base, and pray we don't die."
15[11:19] * +Kirengo "I can... I can fly the distance in half an hour... I've never walked it."
07[11:20] * +Mercury chuckles. "Indeed. Charge the enemy base in a block of steel and hope we survive the flaming wreckage."
07[11:20] * +Blastwave "I find that when ponies are bust dodging explosions they shoot less."
07[11:21] * +Alias nods to Fish_Stick; "Yeah, that's what I've heard. Makes you wonder about robots though."
07[11:21] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer looks around uneasily "We are afraid we are not exactly equipped for a straight up fight with the Enclave..."
07[11:22] * ~Fish_Stick 3chuckles and holds the door to the main room of the ship open for Alias, saying, "Robuts' jus' tryin' too hard, most 'a tha time."
07[11:22] * +Mercury looks up to Rock. "As this is rather important, what resources are you devoting to it?"
04[11:23] * +Clipped_Cantle looks at Kirengo. "Hey, how big a building is this?"
07[11:23] * +Alias trots through, nodding to Fish_Stick; "But are they like that because they were programmed to be, or are they just lonely?"
04[11:23] * +Blastwave looks at Kirengo, "Better yet, how structually sound is this building?"
07[11:24] * +Clipped_Cantle smirks. "Exactly what I was thinking, Blast."
07[11:24] * +Mercury groans and facehooves.
[11:24] <~Zeph|GM> 3Rock looks down to Mercury, "We can't be observed sparing much pony-power and we already have the vast majority of our force outside on guard, pulling double-shifts for show, while the rest are seeing if we can safely 'make' a way further under the base."
07[11:25] * +Mercury "What about hardware then?"
15[11:26] * +Kirengo looks between Clipped and Blast. "Real, real tall. One of the taller ones. And it's also one of the more solid things still standing. It'd take a lot of explosives..."
[11:26] <~Zeph|GM> 3Rock, "Equipment-wise, we're still relatively good, but we're cut off from supply."
[11:26] <~Zeph|GM> 3resupply*
07[11:27] * +Blastwave "Well, lacking explosives we could just find the strucktual supports, get some thermite, melt them, and run..."
07[11:27] * ~Fish_Stick 3shrugs and follows Alias into the main room, saying, "Ah never talked ta one. Moters, guns an' armor is wha' Ah work on most."
15[11:28] * +Kirengo looks at Rock. "Rangers explode -everything-. Do you all have some explosives? Thermite?"
07[11:28] * +Mercury nods. "Do you have plans to deal with this sir?" She twitches a little at Blastwave's insistence on destroying the building.
07[11:28] * +Alias chuckles; "Terminals tend to be more cooperative though. Sometimes robots are crazy. Especially Brain-bots. Ever seen one of them?"
07[11:29] * +Blastwave is not insisting, he's suggesting ways that don't involve fighting hoards of enclave mooks with plasma guns of +50 fuck
07[11:29] * +Clipped_Cantle looks at Rock. "Also, do you have any more intel on the place and the Enclave who are probably there defending it?"
[11:30] <~Zeph|GM> 3Rock frowns, saying, "Well, we're currently planning on using what we have on the explosives front as an attempted safe escape route out from under this base." He looks up, "Ya'd have ta get real economical with what we could spare, but we've got a decent supply."
07[11:31] * +Blastwave "This deal is getting worse all the time." he mutters under his breath. "Alright, lets see what you can spare."
[11:32] <~Zeph|GM> 3Rock looks to Clipped_Cantle. "It's a small team of techs for the gun and armor to defend it. As for Belle Tower, it used to be a museum for music, or something."
15[11:33] * +Kirengo starts rubbing his forehead with a fetlock.
07[11:33] * +Blastwave thought it was a tower for emotionless teengirls in bad romantic comodies involving vampires
07[11:33] * +Blastwave "Alright, just techies?"
07[11:34] * +Mercury rubs her chin. "You have any salvaged Enclave armor for disguises, stealthbucks, medical supplies if things go FUBAR; anything like that?”
07[11:34] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer hmms
07[11:34] * +Clipped_Cantle raises an eyebrow. "Armor? What kind of armor?"
07[11:35] * +Mercury taps her breastplate.
15[11:36] * +Kirengo "Can we beat them there, set up the entire firing area with traps, and let them just walk into them when they try and set the gun up?"
07[11:36] * +Blastwave "I have mines."
[11:38] <~Zeph|GM> 3Rock hrmms, "From what I read it's going to be on the roof, for lack of space and aiming capability lower down."
15[11:42] * +Kirengo "How is the gun being transported?"
07[11:42] * +Clipped_Cantle nods. "Makes sense... When you say armor, you're talking about..." she points at Mercury's armor "...that kind of armor, aren't you?"
[11:43] <~Zeph|GM> 3Rock nods, "Probably, yeah. It didn't specify, rather saying 'guards'."
15[11:44] * +Kirengo lifts his head up. "Blast makes a big bomb on a timer. We distract the guards. Moon turns invisible, flies up and plants the bomb on the gun as they're transporting it. We run the buck away and the gun goes boom."
04[11:45] * +Mercury nods. "Blast and I are trained in their use, and you and Kirengo could probably pass with a cloak to hide your lack of wings and zebra wings respectively. We could pass as an advanced guard so we aren‘t blasted from the air.”
07[11:45] * ~Fish_Stick 3shakes her head at Alias, "Nah, Ah've only ever seen 'em lumberin' cheep-security thingens."
07[11:45] * +Blastwave nods,"That is a plan, and one involving liberal amount of explosives. I'm game."
07[11:46] * +Alias nods; "They're sturdy enough; but they tend to shoot first rather than actually enforce proper security. At least they're lousy shots."
07[11:47] * ~Fish_Stick 3nods to her saddle by her cot, saying, "Yeah, but ya 'poon 'em in the headcase an' run 'round a corner an' they is easy ta get rid of."
15[11:49] * +Kirengo looks at Mercury. "But you can't fly. Unless you want to meet them on the roof of the tower and say you were an advanced guard."
07[11:49] * +Alias snickers; "Nice. Although I prefer the kind of weapon you can shoot a multitude of times, rather than a single large shot. You put a bunch of small bullets in someone, and it slows them down regardless of where you hit. If you miss with a big gun, you're kinda screwed."
07[11:49] * +Clipped_Cantle frowns a bit. "How many of these 'guards'?"
07[11:49] * +Blastwave "I doubt he has an exact number."
04[11:50] * +Mercury nods to Kirengo. "That was my intention, yeah. It would give a chance to try and make a few new friends as well as possibly secure the cannon for the base here."
[11:51] <~Zeph|GM> 3Rock shakes his head, "Probably whatever one unit is for them and the techies. Ranger Squad is five, but I'm not sure that applies to them, too."
15[11:51] * +Kirengo looks at Blastwave. "How big is one squad?"
07[11:52] * +Clipped_Cantle shrugs. "Probably not, but it doesn't hurt to ask."
07[11:52] * +Blastwave "Probably one wing, so three."
15[11:53] * +Kirengo "That's not... bad... Okay... Do we have a set of armor for Blast?"
07[11:56] * +Mercury mulls. "And I would guess eight or so techs, maybe an officer too."
07[11:56] * ~Fish_Stick 3nods, "Yeah, Ah'm thinkin' 'bout gettin' something faster instead o' that ol' .32, but it's hard ta get upgrades like that as a scribe - had trouble even getting tha rifle."
15[11:58] * +Kirengo looks at Rock for an answer to his question.
07[11:59] * +Alias glances back at the Engine Room door. "You're capable of fixing stuff like that engine. Can't you salvage a gun from somewhere and patch it up?"
07[12:00] * +Clipped_Cantle sighs and looks up at Moonlight`s_Shimmer, then leans against the alicorn.
04[12:01] <~Zeph|GM> 3Rock taps a hoof to his chin, before looking to Kirengo, "Enclave armor? We haven't taken possession of any, but Torch an' what's left of her ponies still have theirs."
07[12:01] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer drapes a wing over Clipped_Cantle
07[12:02] * +Mercury perks up. "Oh! If some of them could help..."
15[12:02] * +Kirengo "Then maybe we can borrow theirs." He looks back at the group. "So what... make a real big bomb on a timer. Give it to Moon. Wait on the roof of the building and try to talk to them, distracting them. Moon goes up and drops the bomb on the gun and flies off. If they back down, we get the bomb back off of there, but if we fight we just distract them long enough until the bomb goes off."
07[12:02] * ~Fish_Stick 3nods, saying, "Yeah, sure, but Ah jus' ain' in a position ta do that ' lot of tha time. Ah got scribe-y things ta do..."
15[12:02] * +Kirengo "Also what Mercury just said..."
04[12:03] * +Blastwave "Yeah. Kiren Merc, and I will try to grab armour. Moon, and Clipped, get Alias and the rescued mare, we'll meet somewhere."
07[12:04] * +Clipped_Cantle closes her eyes a moment before opening them again. "Sounds... like a plan." That she'd probably have to fly to achieve, but she'd get over it. "Alright, yeah... meet in medical?"
04[12:05] <~Zeph|GM> 3Rock looks to Kirengo, "We've got detonators to spare. Timer as a backup, maybe?"
07[12:05] * +Alias nods; "Like what?"
07[12:05] * +Mercury nods. "A timer would tie our hooves, but may be needed."
07[12:05] * +Blastwave "Yeah, good thinkinf Rock. Can you get the supplies we need and send them to us in Medical where we'll be meeting?"
07[12:06] * +Blastwave by Rock getting them he meant Rock ordering a mook to
15[12:06] * +Kirengo nods at Rock. "Yes, that works. We can also set some on their side of the roof that we could detonate as well if they land where we want them to."
[12:06] <~Zeph|GM> 3Rock nods, "Well section off all we can spare. I'll have it delivered to the workshop."
07[12:07] * +Blastwave "Okay, good place to make a bomb."
07[12:07] * +Clipped_Cantle nods. "Alright, meet there then."
07[12:07] * +Mercury "A stealthbuck or two for security and some armor cloaks to make us look like a single unit would be nice."
15[12:10] * +Kirengo "Alright, let's get going on this. We don't have a lot of time at all."
[12:11] <~Zeph|GM> 3Rock nods, "I'll ping the armory and the workshop, if we have some of those - as for cloaks, I'm not sure."
07[12:11] * +Blastwave nods and heads out not really sure where Torch and folk are
07[12:11] * +Clipped_Cantle trots out of the base and back to the boat.
07[12:11] * +Alias is still chatting with Fish_Stick in the main room
07[12:12] * ~Fish_Stick 3sighs, "Ah jus' do engine stuff like this an' guns..."
07[12:12] * +Mercury follows Blastwave, making a mental note to check with the Quarterpony if Rock couldn't get enough cloaks.
07[12:13] * +Alias tilts her head at Fish; "Somethign you'd rather be doing I take it?"
07[12:13] * +Blastwave stumbles across Torch and the enclave gang, what a crazy random happenstance
07[12:13] * +Clipped_Cantle trots down into the main room of the boat. "We've got a bit of a problem."
07[12:14] * +Alias looks up to Cantle; "What's the trouble?"
07[12:14] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer follows Clipped_Cantle
[12:14] <~Zeph|GM> 3Torch is in a room with the door open and two other pegasi in armor.
07[12:15] * +Blastwave walks in, "Hey Torch."
07[12:15] * +Mercury snaps a salute.
07[12:15] * ~Fish_Stick 3looks up, saying, "Ah, - hey, Clipped! What's goin' on?"
[12:15] <+Clipped_Cantle> "Enclave's mounting a big damn gun in Manehatten, planning on using it to blow the hell out of Bucklyn apparently."
[12:16] <~Zeph|GM> 3Torch looks up and turns around to face Blastwave and Mercury, looking tired with her helmet off, saying, "Hey, yourself; Hello, Mercury. What's up?"
07[12:17] * ~Fish_Stick 3blinks and curses, "What!?"
07[12:17] * +Blastwave isn't that hungry so he wont hay himself.
[12:18] <+Clipped_Cantle> "Paladin Rock told us about it... guess they caught some transmission using the SPP connection we got set up or something." She sighs. "We're heading out to stop them. Either capture or destroy the equipment."
15[12:19] * +Kirengo is totally following Blastwave.
07[12:19] * +Alias nods; "You evacuating, or tryign to get rid of it?"
07[12:19] * +Mercury "There is a situation brewing. A Novasurge cannon being set up on a nearby structure."
[12:19] <+Moonlight`s_Shimmer> "We intend to stop them before they can even fire the gun, if possible."
07[12:20] * +Clipped_Cantle raises an eyebrow. "We're getting rid of it... just said that." She sighs. "Can't evacuate because the Enclave'd pounce on the base if the Rangers weakened themselves to do it, I guess. According to Rock."
[12:20] <~Zeph|GM> 3Torch frowns and draws a hoof over her face slowly, before asking, "Yeah, I guessed something was up - we've been told there's an assault being prepared."
07[12:22] * +Alias nods; "Makes sense. Were you planning on fighting them, or infiltrating and disabling?"
07[12:23] * +Mercury nods. "We are planning on posing as an advanced force so we can set up ahead of time and possibly talk a few of them over to our side. If all else fails, there are explosives."
[12:24] <+Clipped_Cantle> "Going to try and pose as an advance guard at first so we don't get blown apart on their way in, see if we can't talk them out of doing this. Never know, some defected at Friendship City, they might here too. A gun like that'd be real useful. If we can't... sabotage. Blastwave's going to make a bomb and Moon will go invisible to plant it, then we hold them off until the bomb does it's work."
[12:25] <~Zeph|GM> 3Torch frowns, "After we deserted at Friend City, do ya think they'll send anypony even slightly liable ta do the same? Ah vote we use fire!" She scuffs a hoof, huffing a little, "Did them ranges keep it from us, because they was afraid we'd switch sides again?"
07[12:26] * +Blastwave "Considering they directed us to you, I doubt that's why you weren't told."
07[12:26] * +Alias nods; "Always good to have a backup plan. Where is this big gun?"
[12:26] <+Clipped_Cantle> "Belle Tower."
[12:27] <+Clipped_Cantle> "Well, that's where it's going. Don't know where it /is/. Supposed to be there in a few hours."
07[12:27] * +Alias blinks; "As in... Sweetie Belle?"
15[12:27] * +Kirengo wonders if they should get all of Torch's pegasi to come with them, so that they would've have to resort to running away as fast as they can if it came to a fight.
07[12:27] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer blinks "That name. It sounds familiar."
07[12:28] * +Mercury leers at the kill them all mentality. "It is worth a shot. Besides, if we can secure the cannon for this base..."
07[12:28] * +Alias looks to Moonlight; "She was only -the- most popular pre-war era songstress in Equestria!"
[12:28] <~Zeph|GM> 3Torch frowns and sighs, kicking a hoof again, "Ahw, heck! Anyways, why did they send ya to us anyway?"
07[12:28] * +Alias is a fan
07[12:28] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer begins to nod slowly "We...remember her."
07[12:29] * +Clipped_Cantle shrugs. "I guess. Probably, Rock said it was some sort of music museum. Anyway, we could use your help again. It'd suck to screw this up because a locked door got in the way, and you can use your Enclave disguise again."
07[12:30] * +Mercury "We were hoping you could join us. More pegasi will help the cannon crew relax and more firepower is nice."
07[12:30] * +Alias goes wide eyed; "Remember... did you know her?! What was she like?" She realizes she's gushing and clears her throat loudly, attempting to compose herself. "Um, yes. Disguise. Is there a place I can... change?"
07[12:31] * +Blastwave blinks and looks at Mercury. What about his armour
[12:31] <~Zeph|GM> 3Torch nods, "We're up fer it."
[12:32] <+Moonlight`s_Shimmer> "She...we do not remember meeting her...but...we remember...her voice. It was beautiful."
07[12:32] * +Clipped_Cantle nods. "Sure, you can do it in the cargo hold if you want." She smiles. "Thanks." She moves over to the rescued mare to check on her.
07[12:33] * +Mercury "And if you have any spare armor, we could get three more skilled equines to pass."
07[12:33] * ~Fish_Stick 3points to the engine room, saying, "Ya could use tha lavatry, but Ah'm uncertain a unicorn'll pass fer a 'sus."
07[12:33] * +Alias nods to Moonlight; "No equal. Before or since. Well... there is that one newer mare on the radio who covered her songs... Velvet something. She's okay, but you just can't beat the original."
[12:36] <~Zeph|GM> 3Torch shakes her head at Mercury, "Not anything in one piece, but we have mats fer repairs, still. 'Bet them rangers can help ya get your set fixed back up."
[12:37] <+Moonlight`s_Shimmer> "We know of Velvet." she says with a neutral expression
07[12:37] * +Alias smirks at Fish_Stick; "Being magic has its advantages." She trots into the lavatory and extracts the Enclave officer's uniform. She takes off her duster but leaves her regular armour on for underneath. She shifts into the green pegasus that the group had first seen her as, then dons the Officer's uniform and stores her duster in her packs.
07[12:38] * +Mercury nods to Torch. "Thank you. If you could ask your troops who don't come with to relinquish their gear for the mission, it would be very helpful."
[12:39] <~Zeph|GM> 3Torch looks to the two other pegasi, before turning back to Mercury, saying, "They're all coming."
07[12:40] * +Alias while in the lavatory takes a moment to shift to her true form while having the privacy and the opportunity. She looks herself over, smiling at the holes in her hooves, but frowning at a scar on the left flank of her carapace. She shifts back to the pegasus form and then exits the lavatory.
07[12:41] * +Mercury "Okay then." She looks to Blastwave. "You can use my armor for this. I'll stick with my uniform."
07[12:41] * +Clipped_Cantle looks over the rescued mare. "Hey... you awake... we're going to move you into the AJ Ranger's base..."
07[12:41] * +Blastwave looks over at Mercury, "You sure?"
15[12:42] * +Kirengo "Well this suddenly is starting to look like it will have a higher chance of success..."
07[12:42] * +Alias is now disguised as Ensign Fleethoof
07[12:42] * +Mercury nods. "I can pass with a cloak over my wing. You can't."
07[12:42] * +Blastwave nods, "Good point..."
07[12:44] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer looks down at the rescued mare from behind Clipped_Cantle...not wanting to scare her
15[12:46] * +Kirengo "Okay, next step is bomb making, and Mercury finding cloaks."
07[12:46] * +Clipped_Cantle sighs and gently prods the mare's shoulder with a hoof when she gets no response.
[12:46] <+Clipped_Cantle> (redact)
07[12:46] * +Blastwave nods, "Rock should have the supplies ready by then."
07[12:46] * +Mercury strips out of her armor and places it at Blastwave's hooves. "I am going to the Quarterpony. If I can get a shopping list and some pocket money, you can see if miss Clipped can fix my armor up and mount your guns on her."
15[12:48] * +Kirengo looks at Mercury. "Caps for what?"
07[12:48] * +Blastwave "I mostly use greandes, and you'll be getting your armour back anyway." He starts to dres sup in an awesome montage sequence
[12:48] <~Zeph|GM> 3Clipped can notice thanks to her skill with medicine, that the mare's breathing indicates her to be awake, even though she seems to be trying to pretend very hard to be sleeping.
04[12:49] * +Mercury looks to Blastwave. "Still should get it fixed up a bit." Back to Kirengo. "Shopping arround for cloaks incase your Ranger friend can't get us enough."
07[12:49] * +Clipped_Cantle sighs. "Hey... I know you're awake. Let me get you in the base to medical where they can help you out... I'd do it, but you heard what I just said. I don't have time for this right now, ponies are counting on me."
07[12:50] * +Blastwave puts on the helmet, glad nopony can see his face, "And I don't really use guns."
15[12:50] * +Kirengo "Well here..." He hoofs Mercury ninety caps. "No loot from the tower so it's pretty low."
15[12:51] <+Kirengo> (redact)
07[12:51] * +Mercury nods. "I found a few energy weapons I can hock if need be."
15[12:52] * +Kirengo starts to dig out caps. "No loot from the tower, so there's not a lot..." He stops digging. "Well here, I'll just go with you."
[12:52] <~Zeph|GM> 3The mare twitches and shifts back in the cot, leaning up onto her forelegs, muttering not-words under her breath, "I- I- Rangers!? No-no-no-no-no..."
07[12:52] * +Blastwave hoofs Mercury a Magical Laser Pistol, "Sell this too..." he pauses. "I guess I'll go build the bomb alone"
07[12:53] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer headtilts "Applejack Rangers. We want to help you." she smiles down at the mare
15[12:53] * +Kirengo looks at Blastwave. "I'm an honorary Ranger. She's not. They'll be nicer while I'm around."
[12:54] <~Zeph|GM> 3Goes wide-eyed as she spots Moonlight`s_Shimmer and screams in terror, scrambling back into the furthest corner of her cot, cowering together into a ball.
07[12:54] * +Clipped_Cantle groans.
07[12:55] * +Mercury takes the Beam pistol and adjusts her glasses. "I can handle this if need be." She passes Blastwave her cloak as well. Injuries could be explained in war more than undeadness.
[12:55] <+Clipped_Cantle> "Calm down, it's fine, Moon's not going to hurt you, I promise." She nuzzles Moonlight`s_Shimmer. "See? She's nice. She's my marefriend, in fact."
15[12:55] * +Kirengo sighs. "Let's just get going. We're on a time limit here."
[12:56] <~Zeph|GM> 3Torch nods to each of them, "We'll be ready as soon as we can. Where do we meet you?"
07[12:56] * +Blastwave flaps the cloak over his back, "Thanks." he looks at Torch and the others, "We're meeting at the med bay. Get your stuff ready." he stomps off to find the bomby place
07[12:57] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer nuzzles Clipped back then steps back and hangs her head "Uh...oops...we will just uhm...go to the library while you explain things to her Clipped. Come and get us when we are all ready to leave."
07[12:57] * +Mercury canters to the Quarterpony's shop, keeping an eye out for anypony with a cloak.
07[12:57] * +Clipped_Cantle nods at Moonlight`s_Shimmer. "Yeah, alright... probably for the best."
15[12:58] * +Kirengo follows Mercury.
[12:58] <~Zeph|GM> 3The mare has stopped screaming by now any is whimpering in a curled up ball in the cot, muttering panicked, also-not-words
07[12:59] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer smiles then kisses Clipped_Cantle on the cheek then waves a wing at the traumatized mare "We hope you will come to see that we are not a monster." then heads off the boat and back to the ranger base
07[13:00] * +Blastwave finds the place where the bomb making is supposed to be going on and looks for his supplies
[13:00] <~Zeph|GM> 3The Quarterpony is in the room behind the surplus window, moving around and seeming to gather explosives out of their containers and loading them into a crate on a cart.
07[13:01] * +Alias just lets Cantle handle the mare; trauma was not her area of expertise
07[13:02] * +Clipped_Cantle sighs. "Look, I'm really sorry, but if I don't get moving this whole area is going to get blasted by a really huge magical energy weapon. Moon is a good alicorn, her mother, this Unity thing, is gone. Dead. She's not one of those monsters you've probably heard about anymore... and the AJ Rangers are a good sort, too. They'll help you, take care of you. It's in their code. I had to agree to...
07[13:02] * +Clipped_Cantle ...uphold it when I became an Honorary member."
07[13:02] * ~Fish_Stick 3has no idea what to do here, either and thus watches silently.
07[13:03] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer walks up to a random ranger
[13:03] <+Moonlight`s_Shimmer> "Excuse us, where are the archives?
[13:03] <+Moonlight`s_Shimmer> :
[13:03] <+Moonlight`s_Shimmer> "*
[13:04] <~Zeph|GM> 3The ranger looks up to Moonlight`s_Shimmer, saying, "Archives' downstairs. Most o' that floor, so ya can't miss it."
[13:06] <~Zeph|GM> 3The mare whimpers some more and looks up at Clipped_Cantle, saying, "C- can you p- please just let me go...?"
07[13:06] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer smiles "We thank thee." she heads downstairs, probably following the signs that are probably on the walls that point to the stairs
07[13:06] * +Blastwave apparently doesn't find explosives and waits there for them to arrive
07[13:07] * +Clipped_Cantle blinks at the mare. "I... well, yeah... if you want to go, you're free to. Nopony's holding you here... you really should see the Rangers though... this area isn't safe to go alone..."
[13:07] <~Zeph|GM> 3The Quarterpony finishes loading the crate and a bright yellow mare wheels the cart to the workshop, where Blastwave is.
07[13:08] * +Blastwave finds explosives, Huzzah! "Thank you." he says to the mare and brings the explosives over to a work table. "This shall be glorious."
07[13:10] * +Mercury walks over to the Quarterpony. "Hello there sweetie."
[13:10] <~Zeph|GM> 3Blastwave is faced with two 30-shot bands of 40mm rounds, a box of 6 HE-Frags and a block of C4. There's also a termite charge in the crate.
07[13:11] * +Blastwave laughs manically and starts rigging them all together. Except for the thermite, because that'd be completely useless in an explosion.
[13:12] <~Zeph|GM> 3The Quarterpony trots back to the window and blushes faintly - or not so faintly, but he's reddish, so it's not that noticeable. "What can I get your for, maam?"
07[13:13] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer eventually finds her way down to the archives
15[13:13] * +Kirengo just stands there. Awkwardly. Next to Mercury. He's there for status, not talking.
07[13:16] * +Mercury "Well, you were so helpful last time, I was hoping you could give me a hoof again. You see, we are going on a covert mission and it would help us so much if you could get us some armor mesh cloaks." She places the two las pistols on the counter. “Maybe if these could fill in for them on your books.”
[13:23] <~Zeph|GM> 3The Quarterpony nods, taking the two pistols and jotting down a figure of 347 caps, saying, "Cloaks... we usually have some for repairs on robes, but we're all out, but for one, right now."
04[13:24] * +Mercury pouts, but glances to Kirengo. "You need anything?"
07[13:26] * +Mercury turns back to the Quarterpony. "Do you have any Novaburst link mods?"
[13:28] <~Zeph|GM> 3The Quarterpony hrmms, saying, "We have some basic link-mods. Won't be as good as a proper one, but they'll work if you can install them."
[13:31] <~Zeph|GM> 3Blastwave is now working on what looks to be a very strong explosive charge. The C4 part is rigged with a modifiable timer and a remote detonation module, that can be linked.
07[13:33] * +Mercury nods. "One of those would be lovely as well, thank you."
07[13:33] * +Blastwave sets the timer so that it explodes at one minutes and thirty seconds, so if a brash Enclave upstart tries to disarm it at the last minute, he'll blow up.
[13:33] <~Zeph|GM> 3Moon finds several Scribes in the archives, bustling about as they work on copying data onto mobile storage. One of them trots over to meet the alicorn, asking, "Hello?"
15[13:36] * +Kirengo shakes his head at Mercury. "I'm good."
04[13:37] * +Mercury points to Kirengo's shotgun hooves. "Need ammo for those?"
15[13:38] * +Kirengo "How many caps we got?"
07[13:38] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer smiles "Hello! We were wondering, if there is anything here we might learn that can help us before we go out on our mission to destroy the Enclave's big gun? Spells, to be more specific."
04[13:38] <~Zeph|GM> 3The Quarterpony slides out the packed up module and the cloak over the counter, before also giving Mercury and Kirengo 66 caps.
15[13:40] * +Kirengo "Eh, yeah, another ten twenty-gauge slugs."
07[13:40] * +Blastwave finishes da bomb, "This is the greatest thing i've ever made. If I still have tear ducks, i think I'm going to cry."
[13:41] <~Zeph|GM> 3The mare tries to shy away from Clipped_Cantle more, shaking her head, "R- r- rangers!? Wh- wha- no. Just - please - just let me g- go!"
04[13:43] <~Zeph|GM> 3The Quarterpony nods and slides over a box of ten slugs for Kirengo, taking 30 caps from the return, "That's all?"
07[13:44] * +Mercury slides the caps back over to the Quarterpony. "And some of the nice zebra's shells if you please."
[13:44] <~Zeph|GM> 3The Scribe nods slowly at Moonlight`s_Shimmer, saying, "What kind of spells? I take it ya want defense, or something?"
07[13:45] * +Clipped_Cantle sighs. "I said you can go. Go ahead if you want, but there's bloodwings and raiders and Enclave and all kinds of things going on around here right now. You'll probably die if you go alone... but it's your choice." She steps aside and gestures to the stairwell. "If you want to go, go. None of us are going to stop you."
04[13:46] * +Mercury nods and kisses the Quarterpony on the cheek. "Thanks. We'll see you soon." She nods to Kirengo, grabs the stuff and heads for the med bay.
15[13:46] * +Kirengo "That's it." He nods tot he quarterpony then follows Mercury.
07[13:47] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer thinks for a minute "Yes. Whatever you can teach us."
[13:48] <~Zeph|GM> 3The mare blinks and edges out of her cot slowly, facing Clipped_Cantle, Alias and Fish_Stick all the way, before attempting to bolt for the stairs.
07[13:49] * +Alias shrugs and doesn't make a move
[13:49] <~Zeph|GM> 3The Scribe nods, leading Moonlight`s_Shimmer to the unicorns with the necessary training.
07[13:49] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer follows the scribe
07[13:50] * +Blastwave drags his bomb to the med bay and waits there. He notes that he's the first one there, and he's dragging a bomb around wearing Enclave armour. This wasn't suspicious at all
15[13:51] * +Kirengo blinks at Blastwave and his bomb as they approach him. "That looks big. Is that big?"
07[13:51] * ~Fish_Stick 3blinks and manages to react in time, rushing over to block the staircase with herself, saying loudly, "What tha heyall!? Don't let 'er kill 'erself like this! What'd AJ think!?"
07[13:51] * +Blastwave "It's big enough."
[13:52] <~Zeph|GM> 3Blastwaves gets a lot of odd looks, by the personnel in the medbay, a few of them pegasi themselves.
07[13:52] * +Clipped_Cantle looks at Fish_Stick and shrugs. "No idea, but you can't help somepony if they don't want it! I'm not going to force a terrified mare into a situation that just terrifies her more!"
15[13:52] * +Kirengo mourns for the innuendos lost.
04[13:53] * +Blastwave didn't get it, "Shouldn't you get your armour Kiren, or are is the plan to distract the guards by having you flash them?"
15[13:54] * +Kirengo snerks. "Yes. I'll get my armor on. I just don't like wearing it more than what's necessary." He looks around at the conspicuous lack of their travelling and mission companions. "Shouldn't they have beaten us back here?"
07[13:55] * +Blastwave "Did we just let Moon and Clipped go off alone with nopony to keep an eye on them?"
15[13:55] * +Kirengo "They're not having sex."
07[13:55] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer has Scribes near her, they have eyes!
07[13:55] * ~Fish_Stick 3huffs, "So ya jus' let 'er die instead!?" The mare literally puts up her greatest effort, but so does Fish_Stick, successfully blocking her from pushing past her, "Ju't - stop! Clipped! Yer a medic an' an AJ Ranger! Help!"
07[13:55] * +Blastwave "Are you sure?"
15[13:56] * +Kirengo "They're horny, not stupid."
07[13:56] * +Blastwave raises an eyebrow, "Are you sure?"
15[13:56] * +Kirengo is quiet for slightly too many moment. "Yes."
15[13:57] <+Kirengo> moments*
07[13:57] * +Blastwave nods, "Alright, but if they aren't here in twenty minutes I'm getting a hoze."
15[13:57] * +Kirengo "If they're not here in five minutes, I'm going after them."
07[13:57] * +Blastwave "With a hoze?'
04[13:57] * +Mercury shrugs. "Mood is large enough, they could sex on the move." She snickers. "Though I hope we found something that could let you hide." She is addressing Kirengo. "I don't think there are many zebras in the Enclave."
15[13:58] * +Kirengo checks a clock to see how long they have.
07[13:59] * +Clipped_Cantle frowns and sighs. She did agree to uphold their beliefs... and this mare wasn't necessarily in the right mind after what she went through, either... she doesn't have the information to make the right choice... She sighs and pulls a syringe from her medical bag and fills it with some anesthetic. "...hold her still, Fish."
15[14:00] * +Kirengo shakes his head at Blastwave then looks at Mercury. "Judging from what Blast said about me the first time we met, I'd say there were no zebras in the Enclave. But I'll just fly around and drop in if things go south."
07[14:01] * ~Fish_Stick 3manages to hold the mare in place securely, pinning her against the hull of the ship as she struggles.
07[14:01] * +Clipped_Cantle trots up to the mare to inject her with the anesthetic. "Sorry about this... but Fish is right, it's for your own good..."
07[14:02] * +Blastwave "When we first met you were unconcious and I was totally trying to save you."
[14:05] <~Zeph|GM> 3The mare struggles, but the syringe Clipped_Cantle jabs into the base of her neck does it's work quickly, causing the mare to weaken her efforts, before slackening, unconscious.
15[14:06] * +Kirengo raises an eyebrow at Blastwave. "And you don't remember all the things you said you were told about me after that?"
07[14:07] * +Blastwave "Well, yes."
15[14:07] * +Kirengo "So yeah."
07[14:08] * +Blastwave coughs into his hoof, "Just trying to make it seems less rascist by pointing that out."
07[14:08] * +Clipped_Cantle sighs and shakes her head as the mare slumps. "Sorry, Fish... Just think ponies should get to choose their own way in life... but you're right, letting her die when she doesn't need to... when she's making a decision out of fear and... ignorance... well, that's not really getting a choice, is it?"
15[14:09] * +Kirengo smiles. "Not much chance of that happening."
07[14:10] * +Blastwave shrugs, "It was worth a shot anyway..."
07[14:11] * ~Fish_Stick 3sighs and lets off the mare, stepping up the stairs a bit as she keeps her upright against the hull. She nods and smiles at Clipped_Cantle, saying, "We get 'er in the medbay an' we'll keep 'er safe until she's a bit more tagether. We gotta stretcher, er somethin'?" She sighs a little, saying, "Thanks, Clipped - ya saved anotha life."
07[14:13] * +Clipped_Cantle shakes her head. "Unless the boat's got one, I don't... we'll have to carry her." She looks at the floor. "Yeah, but I almost didn't. Stupid of me." She shrugs. "Let's... get her to medical."
[14:14] <~Zeph|GM> 10~~PAUSE~~
07[14:14] * +Alias moves in to follow Cantle, however, she'll wait outside the base proper if need be
15[14:15] * +Kirengo grumbles. "Shouldn't they be here by now?"
07[14:16] * +Blastwave "You want I should get the hose?"
15[14:17] * +Kirengo smirks. "Who knows... maybe they brought Fish into it too."
07[14:18] * +Blastwave "The last thing sex needs it more mares."
15[14:19] * +Kirengo snerks. "Maybe they got Jot to turn into a stallion for them."
07[14:20] * +Blastwave blinks and rubs his chin, "She can do that can't she...'
07[14:20] * +Alias can totally do that
07[14:20] * +Alias sneezes
15[14:20] * +Kirengo nods. "Yeah. There's some rules to it which I never really understood, but yeah."
07[14:22] * +Blastwave rolls his eyes, "Well if I ever decide to sleep around, I'll know who to talk to."
15[14:23] * +Kirengo "Cute."
07[14:23] * +Blastwave "Apparently!"
15[14:24] * +Kirengo rolls his eyes.
07[14:24] * +Blastwave has been called cute twice now. Mercury must really need those glasses
07[14:36] * ~Fish_Stick 3nods and heaves the mare onto her back, grunting a little at the strain. Well, she does have 7 STR, but she got shot in the chest recently, so there's that. She starts leading the way upstairs an towards the base.
07[14:37] * +Clipped_Cantle looks over at Alias. "No offense, but I'd appreciate it if you wait in the entrance to the base. Just being careful." She turns and follows Fish_Stick.
07[14:38] * +Mercury shrugs. "I don't know. It'd be kinda creepy, knowing you are with an insect."
07[14:39] * ~Fish_Stick 3heads to medical and enters the room with the dark blue mare on her back, waving for a medic as she enters.
07[14:39] * +Alias figured as much and waits, looking like an Enclave Ensign. Green Pegasus mare, orange mane, feckles because she felt like it
07[14:39] * +Blastwave "I don't know anyone else with a penis, and that'd be required for sleeping around, so.
[14:39] <+Alias> *and freckles
15[14:39] * +Kirengo "Can't possibly be much different than knowing you'd be doing it with a ghoul."
04[14:40] * +Blastwave blinkly blinks and looks over at Kirengo with a curious look. You can't tell though, because he has his helmet on
07[14:41] * +Mercury shrugs and looks over to Fish_Stick and the mare. "Hello."
07[14:41] * +Alias is as much equine as she is insect, and is technically only 'like' those things anyways. She sneezes again and begins to wonder if somepony was spreading rumours about her.
15[14:41] * +Kirengo "Er... oh hey look it's Fish and Clipped. Where's moon?"
04[14:41] * +Clipped_Cantle blinks and looks at Kirengo. "Oh, you're ready? I'll go get her. She went to the library..." She pauses, then turns to Fish_Stick. "Where is that, anyway?"
15[14:42] * +Kirengo "Yes, we're ready. We got the bomb and everything." He pulls out his armor and starts putting it on.
07[14:43] * +Blastwave "I made da bomb."
07[14:43] * ~Fish_Stick 3is relieved of the weight of the drugged mare by two medics, which move her to a bed and begin checking on her. Fish_Stick smiles tiredly at the rest of the group and says, "Hey," before turning to Clipped_Cantle, "Down two levels - can't miss it."
07[14:43] * +Mercury nods. "We are just waiting on our armored backup."
07[14:44] * +Clipped_Cantle nods. "Alright, be right back then." She pauses to look at the mare for a moment, then heads down to the library to fetch Moonlight`s_Shimmer.
[14:45] <~Zeph|GM> 3Torch passes Clipped_Cantle as she enters medical in full armor, saying excitedly, "Everypony - uhh, and zebra - ready?"
07[14:46] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer is in the library being taught how to do various spells
04[14:46] * +Mercury looks over to Clipped_Cantle and then to Kirengo. "We are probably going to need to go through the tower its self, or at least clear the top level so you, Moon and Clipped can have a place to hide while we try being diplomatic."
07[14:47] * +Clipped_Cantle looks around the library for a bit, eventually fining Moonlight`s_Shimmer and trotting up to her. "Hey, Moon, everyone's ready."
07[14:47] * +Blastwave blinks at Mercury, "Yes. We should murder everyone in the tower so they know we're being diplomatic."
15[14:48] * +Kirengo blinks at Blastwave. "What?"
07[14:48] * +Blastwave "Clear the towe?"
15[14:48] * +Kirengo "It's empty."
07[14:48] * +Blastwave "Then what are we clearing?"
07[14:48] * +Mercury groans and facehoofs. "I said nothing about murder. Just make sure we have a sefe spot."
15[14:48] * +Kirengo "Making sure nobody is in there."
[14:48] <+Mercury> (Safe*)
07[14:49] * +Blastwave "But you just said it's empty..."
07[14:49] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer looks down at Clipped_Cantle "Oh, alright then." she turns to the scribe(s) "Thank you for your help, we will put this knoweledge to good use, we hope that we may come back to learn more later."
15[14:49] * +Kirengo "It -should- be empty. May be some raiders or some such in there, I don't know."
07[14:49] * +Mercury "And I suggested the whole thing because a few of our company can't fly."
[14:50] <~Zeph|GM> 3The Scribe that was currently instructing Moonlight`s_Shimmer nods and says, "Anytime; you are an excellent student."
15[14:50] * +Kirengo "Clipped is going to have a hard time anyway. Especially on the roof."
07[14:50] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer smiles and turns to nuzzle Clipped_Cantle "Let us be off then."
07[14:51] * +Blastwave "This is a perfect time for therapy by trauma."
07[14:51] * +Clipped_Cantle closes her eyes and nuzzles Moonlight`s_Shimmer back softly, then opens them and nods. "Right, yeah. Let's go..." She turns and heads to medical.
07[14:51] * +Mercury nods. "If she will let someone fly her to the roof this will be a lot easyer."
07[14:52] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer follows Clipped_Cantle, and is definetely looking at her plot
07[14:53] * +Mercury smiles over at Fish_Stick. "Will you be joining us?"
15[14:53] * +Kirengo "It's about time, not ease. We've got an hour and a half to get there and get ready. It'll take over half an hour to walk instead of fly... we're pushing it, here."
07[14:54] * +Alias approaches Mercury; "Hey, me again. Don't suppose you've got any tips about impersonating an Enclave officer do you? You kinda saw right through me."
07[14:55] * +Alias looks more or less like what she looked like when Mercury first saw her
07[14:55] * +Alias does all of that AFTER the party comes out of the base
07[14:55] * ~Fish_Stick 3scuffs her hooves on the floor and shrugs, "Ah could join ya, yeah..." She tilts her head side to side a bit, "Ah could drive up the boat, too. It'd help if somepony gets hurt ta have a bed nearby."
07[14:56] * +Clipped_Cantle pauses as she enters medical and takes a deep breath. "Yeah... time... too short on it. We... we need to fly..."
07[14:56] * +Mercury nods. "We may want to try carrying those who can't fly. Every second counts." She looks over to Alias. "I'll say you are my aid, that way you won't be asked much and I will be able to give you instructions without arousing suspicion."
07[14:56] * +Mercury blinks. "That would be good. Bote is faster than pony, so that will save some time."
07[14:57] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer blinks, then hugs Clipped_Cantle "You do not have to fly if you do not want to."
[14:57] <+Mercury> (Add her part to Alias when they head out)
15[14:57] * +Kirengo nods. "You do that Fish. We'll fly there, you drive the boat. We'll be fine on time, then."
07[14:57] * +Clipped_Cantle sighs and presses her head into Moonlight`s_Shimmer's chest. "We need to, Moon. No time. I'll... I'll be alright."
07[14:58] * +Mercury "What are we waiting for then." She lowers her voice and looks over to Moonlight`s_Shimmer and Clipped_Cantle. "Sorry, but yeah. Every second counts."
07[14:58] * ~Fish_Stick 3nods, "Ah won't be there quick, but Ah should make it within them one an' a half hours. If ya get inta a scuffle Ah should be right on time - plus, 'boat's hard ta miss.""
07[14:58] * +Mercury starts heading out.
07[14:58] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer wraps her wings around Clipped_Cantle "Tell us Clipped, do you feel safe with our wings around you?"
07[14:59] * +Clipped_Cantle nods against Moonlight`s_Shimmer's chest. "Y-yeah..."
07[14:59] * +Blastwave also heads out, "Whose carrying Merc?
15[14:59] * +Kirengo "Nothing, I guess." He nods to Fish and Torch. "Let's go." He blinks at Clipped and Moon. "Time." He follows Mercury out.
07[14:59] * ~Fish_Stick 3nods and canters off, heading for the boat, with a farewell, "Good luck!"
07[15:00] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer smiles "They are the same wings that will be flying. You can trust our wings." she nuzzles Clipped_Cantle
15[15:00] * +Kirengo looks at Blastwave as they walk out. "Me or you."
[15:00] <~Zeph|GM> 3Torch nods and hovers down the halls as she meets up with the other two pegasi, continuing to hover in place as she waits for everyone to depart.
07[15:01] * +Blastwave "You're stronger. You could probably carry her, clipped, and moonlight while juggling chainsaws with your off hoof."
07[15:01] * +Clipped_Cantle takes a deep breath, then nuzzles Moonlight`s_Shimmer back. "I... yeah. Let's go Moon, no time."
07[15:02] * +Mercury nods to Alias. "Okay, you know the plan?"
15[15:02] * +Kirengo smirks. "Should try that some time." He trots forward a ways then leaps into the air as they walk out the door.
07[15:02] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer nods, levitates Clipped_Cantle onto her back and begins to follow everyone "Do not let go of us, and keep your eyes closed...that may help."
04[15:02] * +Blastwave jumps into the air, "Grab her then Kiren."
07[15:02] * +Clipped_Cantle nods and hugs the back of Moonlight`s_Shimmer's neck, burying her face in the alicorn's mane and closing her eyes.
04[15:03] <~Zeph|GM> 3Torch and the two others follow Kirengo, keeping a three-pony wing-formation.
15[15:03] * +Kirengo picks up a bit of speed then circles back around to pick Mercury up before departing in the direction of Belle Tower.
07[15:03] * +Alias nods; "More or less. Slip in and attempts to neutralize the threat with non-violent measures, then fall back on playing the part of the distraction if things go south while the other team sets up the bomb." She then adds "...I really hope that won't be needed. I'm a huge fan of Sweetie Belle, and would love the opportunity to explore a museum devoted to her."
07[15:03] * +Mercury squeaks as she is scooped up again.
04[15:04] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer smiles, her horn glows for a second, and an aura surrounds Clipped_Cantle "We will always be with you." she then takes off...slowly, and follows Kirengo to Belle tower
04[15:04] * +Alias spreads her wings and takes off after Kirengo. She preferred flying with her own wings, but these were sufficient
07[15:07] * +Mercury “I am thinking we should call the guards away to ‘secure the lower levels’ one at a time, or find some other excuse to get them alone. Convincing them should be far easier one on one.”
07[15:08] * +Blastwave "Asuming we aren't shot before we get the chance
15[15:08] * +Kirengo "They're going to know something is up. We're not supposed to be there. We're going to be lucky to get to talk to them -at all- in the first place."
[15:10] <~Zeph|GM> 3Torch and the two other pegasi keep formation, although the blue mare is noticeably faster and has to fall back periodically. Her speakers crackle and sound, "So, what's the plan?"
15[15:11] * +Kirengo explains the plan.
07[15:11] * +Clipped_Cantle tenses when Moonlight`s_Shimmer and squeezes the alicorn tight with all four limbs, but this... it wasn't as bad. Not with her eyes closed and... Moon's... whatever that was... it felt strange. She'd have to ask what that was later, but it was calming... her presence, that magic... magic. She sighs a little, but trusts that Moon wouldn't do anything to hurt her. She kisses Moonlight`s_Shimmer's ne
07[15:11] * +Clipped_Cantle ck. "Thanks, Moon... I uh... it's... not... so bad. Like this..."
07[15:12] * +Mercury "We are going to wait on the roof as support troops and distract the EFS enabled forces. The nice alicorn is going to invisibly plant a bomb on the gun in case we can't talk them to our side."
07[15:12] * +Blastwave is pretty sure plan A is the bomb
[15:12] <+Clipped_Cantle> (when Moonlight`s_Shimmer lifts off*)
[15:13] <~Zeph|GM> 3Torch is also convinced plan A is the bomb, but for different reasons.
07[15:13] * +Mercury "Also, please do not go into this planing to kill anypony. One red dot on their EFS and we are humped."
07[15:14] * +Blastwave is trying really REALLY hard not make a joke about 'humped'
15[15:14] * +Kirengo "We're not planning to kill pegasi. We're planning on obliterating a gun."
07[15:14] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer smiles and continues to follow everyone "You are more than welcome Clipped." she turns her head to give Clipped a quick nuzzle, Moonlight`s_Shimmer then looks back at everyone "So we are to place a bomb on the turret while the rest of you are distracting them? We will do our best."
07[15:15] * +Mercury was talking to Torch.
15[15:15] * +Kirengo "Yes Moon, that's the idea."
07[15:15] * +Blastwave "It wont be hard Moon, I'm setting up the detonator before you touch it. It's going to be remote, but I have a timer set up incase something goes wrong."
[15:16] <+Moonlight`s_Shimmer> "Then we should have no problem."
[15:17] <~Zeph|GM> 3Torch nods to Mercury in-flight, but it's obvious to the highly charismatic mare that Torch isn't exactly the peaceful kind of pony.
07[15:18] * +Alias has the intention of nabbing any bit of Sweetie Belle memorabilia she can just in case things do go south. She really wasn't in a position to argue if it came to needing to set off the bomb
07[15:19] * +Clipped_Cantle barely returns Moonlight`s_Shimmer's nuzzle, not wanting to move too much. It was... better, but she was still scared. Just not panicked.
04[15:19] * +Mercury is earnestly considering asking Torch to stay with the backup. "Captain, mayhaps you should stay with Clipped and Kirengo, so we can claim they are prisoners if they are found."
[15:23] <~Zeph|GM> 3Torch, "Ah've go no tags on me an' Ah ain't a captain." She nods to her right, "Moth here was, though." She straightens again, "He an' Ball can try, though."
07[15:27] * +Mercury "Ma'am, quite frankly, I am worried about you showing up as hostile on their EFS scans."
[15:29] <~Zeph|GM> 3Torch nods, "Ah'm thinkin' ya'll gonna get shot on sight, so Ah'd hate ta not be real near."
15[15:30] * +Kirengo "We can either be on the top floor waiting to bust out or we can be over across the street behind a building or something, so we're out of their sight and range."
15[15:30] * +Kirengo flies Mercury to the tower and such and does whichever one of those two things they decide is better.
07[15:31] * +Mercury adjusts her uniform, cloak and glasses to make herself as presentable and official looking as she can.
07[15:32] * +Alias sets down next to Mercury, trying to look like a subordinate
07[15:32] * +Blastwave adjusts his greandes
04[15:33] <~Zeph|GM> 3Torch shrugs and follows Kirengo to the indicated spot, signalling Moth and Ball to stay with Mercury and Blastwave to make it look like an officer and a wing.
07[15:33] * +Blastwave lands on the ruff and sets his bomb down and quickly sets the bomb and detonator
07[15:33] * +Mercury gives Blastwave Torch's tags.
07[15:34] * +Blastwave has tags
[15:34] <~Zeph|GM> 3The detonator is rigged at 1 hit: timer; 2nd hit: detonate.
07[15:35] * +Blastwave sets the timer to, lets say, ten minutes. Since the bomb is actually going off at 1:30 it'll give them eight and a half minutes to run
07[15:36] * +Mercury "What is our time looking like?"
07[15:36] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer lands wherever it is everyone's landing and sets Clipped_Cantle down and gives her a kiss, then heads over to the bomb
07[15:36] * +Clipped_Cantle kisses Moonlight`s_Shimmer back, a little shakily. "You be careful." She looks around. "All of you."
07[15:37] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer nuzzles Clipped_Cantle "We will, we promise."
07[15:38] * +Clipped_Cantle nuzzles Moonlight`s_Shimmer, then looks around for some sort of roof access.
[15:40] <~Zeph|GM> 3The roof is relatively bare and there's a shredded door leading down into the building, with three ventilation shaft openings beside it.
07[15:41] * +Mercury nudges Blastwave. "You have my EFS. What is time looking like?"
07[15:42] * +Clipped_Cantle trots over to the door and tries to open it.
07[15:43] * +Blastwave has EFS! "It's... 1:15?'
07[15:44] * +Mercury nods. "We still have 45. Want to take a quick look around or wait?"
07[15:45] * +Blastwave "I saw wait, or I could plant some mines or something..."
07[15:47] * +Mercury glances over to Blastwave. "If they step on one, diplomacy is dead, but making a show of fortifying would be good."
07[15:48] * +Blastwave "Humm, nah."
07[15:49] * +Mercury glances to the power armored pegasi and then over the roof to fihure out the best spot to set up the gun.
04[15:50] * +Blastwave walks over to Kirengo and takes off his helmet, "Hey."
07[15:50] * +Clipped_Cantle doesn't try to open the door, since it's open and stuff, but just looks at it. "What the hell?"
[15:51] <~Zeph|GM> 3Mercury manages to identify a spot that's on the side facing Bucklyn base as the logically most sound position to set up a stationary gun.
15[15:51] * +Kirengo looks at Mercury. "Don't hold so much hope in diplomacy." He looks at Blastwave as he walks over. "Hey."
07[15:52] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer looks at the shredded door "Oh...that is...not good. Maybe."
07[15:53] * +Clipped_Cantle frowns at the door, then turn to look at Moonlight`s_Shimmer. "Might be something inside the building... what the hell could have done this to a door?"
07[15:53] * +Mercury sighs. "They are still my peers. I need to try." She points to the spot. "If we could clear that area, it would help our cover. That is the best place for the gun."
07[15:53] * +Blastwave scratches the back of his head, "Just... this could get nasty if diplomacy goes wrong. If anything goes wrong just get out of here, and I'll set off the bomb."
07[15:55] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer shakes her head "Many, many, thing Clipped. Although the most logical thing we could see shredding a door would have to be a hellhound."
07[15:56] * +Clipped_Cantle blinks. "Oh, that's just fucking great.
15[15:56] * +Kirengo nods at Mercury then nods again at Blastwave. "Yeah. I plan on it. You get out of here too, though. Along with everyone else."
07[15:57] * +Blastwave nods, "I don't plan on dying again..." he pauses. "But if it comes to it, I have the detonator, and taking out the gun is priority."
[15:57] <~Zeph|GM> 3Clipped_Cantle becomes convinced that it obviously must have been a dragon, while Moonlight`s_Shimmer doesn't really know what.
15[15:58] * +Kirengo frowns. "Just get out of the blast zone before you hit the button."
07[15:59] * +Blastwave sighs, "Yeah, I'm... nevermind."
04[15:59] <~Zeph|GM> 3Torch looks to Kirengo, "So, uhh, do we lounge around here, or..."
15[16:00] * +Kirengo "What?" He looks at Torch. "We have to clear off that spot," he nods to the spot, "for the gun to go to help our cover."
07[16:01] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer thinks for a moment "We could put the bomb underneath that spot on the level below us, would the explosion be big enough Blastwave?"
07[16:01] * +Mercury nods. "And having a hiding spot in the building would be nice. If we run from the bomb, I would rather not run while in open air. Too many lasers."
07[16:01] * +Blastwave "Sorry, just thinking of all the possibilities, it wont come to that." He looks at the spot and looks at Moonlight`s_Shimmer, "Huh... maybe... I'm not sure if we want to risk it though."
[16:02] <+Moonlight`s_Shimmer> "Even if it does not destroy the gun, the ceiling would collapse causing the gun to fall through, possibly."
07[16:03] * +Blastwave "But if it's not destroyed they might be able to carry it back up."
[16:03] <~Zeph|GM> 3Torch nods and she and the other two pegasi begin clearing the indicated area.
15[16:03] * +Kirengo "The point is destroying the gun, not just delaying them." He moves over and begins clearing out the spot Mercury had pointed out.
07[16:04] * +Mercury "I was honestly hoping to capture it. These things are irreplaceable."
07[16:04] * +Clipped_Cantle stares at the door for a bit longer, then shrugs. A dragon? In there? Screw that. "Uh, well, that poses a problem. I'm not going down inside there, not like this."
07[16:04] * +Blastwave "That'd be nice Merc, but we have to be realistic"
07[16:07] * +Mercury shrugs. "I'd rather stay hopeful than realistic. Keeps moral up."
15[16:07] * +Kirengo grunts as he moves stuff. "And realistic is that we're going to get into a fight with a bunch of power armored Enclave and we better be ready to detonate that bomb and run away like a bunch of little fillies."
07[16:08] * +Alias approves of that sentiment; most of what she wants to eventually accomplish is runnign entirely on hopes and dreams
04[16:09] * +Blastwave helps Kirengo clear the area, "Hopeful is good, but when you're dealing with lives sometimes you don't get that option..." he sighs. "Yeah, set the timer and run is the plan C if fighting and talking don't work."
07[16:09] * +Clipped_Cantle looks around. "So, what now? It's not safe to go down into the building like this, and there's nowhere else for me to hide."
15[16:10] * +Kirengo finishes clearing stuff then walks over to Clipped_Cantle and Moonlight`s_Shimmer. "What do you mean it's not safe? Of course it's safe."
07[16:10] * +Clipped_Cantle points at the door. "That look safe to you?"
15[16:11] * +Kirengo shrugs. "It looks like a door that's been damaged." He looks back at all the power armored pegasi. "Hey guys! Do you all see blips and stuff on your thing that aren't us?"
07[16:11] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer turns invisible "We are going to take the bomb and hide now, we will place it on the gun when they are distracted."
07[16:12] * +Blastwave puts on his helmet, "Negatory."
04[16:13] <~Zeph|GM> 3Kirengo's years in Manehattan pay off in identifying the creatures that made the tears in the door: Bloodwings, and from the look of it, at least one broodmother.
15[16:14] * +Kirengo "See? Safe." He starts to head into the building when he does a double take at the door. "Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuh"
07[16:15] * +Mercury sighs. "I guess another building will need to do then. If you are out here we will need to pretend you are a pair of prisoners, as the EFS will see you even if you hide.”
07[16:15] * +Mercury scans her EFS..
07[16:15] * +Clipped_Cantle sighs. "Great, a dragon, right?"
07[16:15] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer levitates the bomb up and goes to hide behind I nearby building
15[16:16] * +Kirengo "Okay guys, new plan. If distraction doesn't work... we go wake up the bloodwing nest in this building and sic them on the Enclave."
07[16:16] * +Blastwave "Yes, lets wake up the blood sucking bats and sick them on ponies wrapped in hard metal
07[16:16] * +Mercury winces.
07[16:16] * +Clipped_Cantle blink blink blinks. "Whoa, whoa whoa whoa. Bloodwings?"
15[16:17] * +Kirengo shrugs at Blastwave. "They're a really good distraction. Down we go." He resumes walking through and door.
04[16:18] * +Blastwave follows after Kirengo, "Wait a second, I need to wait up here."
15[16:18] * +Kirengo nods at Blastwave. "Yeah, you do. Me, Clipped, and Torch are going downstairs. We'll be right at the bottom of the stairwell."
07[16:19] * +Mercury looks over to Alias. "Would you mind going with them?"
07[16:19] * +Mercury "Locked doors and all."
07[16:19] * +Alias looks to Mercury; "I thought I was following you."
07[16:19] * +Clipped_Cantle groans. "Are you serious? You want to go /inside/ this place with bloodwings in it?"
15[16:20] * +Kirengo looks at Clipped_Cantle. "It's daytime. They're sleeping. So long as you don't go snooping around or making a bunch of noise, they won't wake up."
07[16:20] * +Alias blinks; "Ah, right. Although, considering the age of this place and the zebra's strength, I'm not sure they'd need me."
[16:20] <+Clipped_Cantle> "Bombs make lots of noise."
04[16:20] * +Blastwave takes off his helmet and kisses Kirengo. "Haven't you heard of good luck kisses! Jeeze." he smirks. "Seriously though, please don't die."
[16:20] <~Zeph|GM> 3Torch taps a hoof, "Can't we just burn 'em?"
15[16:22] * +Kirengo blinky blinks at Blastwave then smiles a bit. "Heard of, yeah. Never gotten one before..." He shakes his head and looks at Torch. "Maybe -after- we fight the Enclave. You don't go attacking monsters before a planned fight." He gives Blastwave another smile then heads down the stairwell.
07[16:23] * +Blastwave smiles and blushes a little before putting his helmet back on to hide said blush. "Now with the waiting..."
04[16:23] <~Zeph|GM> 3Torch nods and trots down the stairs after Kirengo slowly.
07[16:23] * +Mercury "It would just be safer for them. Out here we have three power armored soldiers and an alicorn, they don't. I won't force you though." She turns to Torch. "Last option. Fire tends to show."
15[16:24] * +Kirengo looks back at Clipped_Cantle as he walks down. "Yeah, but by then the fight's over and we can deal with them one way or another."
04[16:24] * +Clipped_Cantle groans and shakes her head. "Great... just great. No other choice, is there? Fuck..." She heads down after Kirengo and Torch. "We need to be /long/ gone before we set that thing off..."
07[16:24] * +Alias looks contemplative. Going inside, she would have a better opportunity to scout out Sweetie Belle paraphernalia if there was any to be found. Plus she would be making herself useful either way. She did hate wasting a disguise though. "Alright, inside then. Have fun out here." She turns to follow the zebra and earth pony
15[16:26] * +Kirengo comes off the stairwell into the top floor of the building and makes way for the others to come down as well. "We can out-fly bloodwings. All the way back to Bucklyn."
07[16:27] * +Mercury goes to the bomb spot and stands at attention, waiting.
07[16:27] * +Alias shifts back into Jot Note once they get inside so that she can use her TK for picking locks instead of her teeth
07[16:27] * +Blastwave is pretty sure Moon has the bomb and is not in plain sight
[16:28] <~Zeph|GM> 3Torch blinks at Alias, "What the fuck!?"
15[16:28] * +Kirengo watches Alias to make sure she doesn't go off the top floor.
15[16:28] * +Kirengo glares at Torch. "Don't shout.
15[16:28] <+Kirengo> "
07[16:29] * +Alias looks at him; "Magic." She points to her horn. "Now then, are those blood thingies on this floor or lower?"
07[16:29] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer has the bomb and is nowhere to be seen~
[16:29] <~Zeph|GM> 3Torch claps a hoof over her metal-encased mouth, clanging slightly as she says, "Sorry."
07[16:30] * +Blastwave stands stifly, "Shouldn't be long now...
[16:31] <~Zeph|GM> 3The bottom of the stairs leads to a landing with a single door and stairs further down. The door is closed.
07[16:31] * +Clipped_Cantle thinks the door should stay that way.
15[16:31] * +Kirengo looks back at Alias. "Lower. So don't leave this floor."
07[16:31] * +Alias nods; "Right then. Shall we scout out this floor while we wait?"
07[16:32] * +Blastwave kicks at the roof nervously
15[16:33] * +Kirengo "You can if you want. I'm staying right here so we can bust out and fight when Mercury's diplomacy fails."
07[16:33] * +Clipped_Cantle shakes her head and whispers. "Forget that, we have enough to worry about without risking waking up bloodwings too...
[16:33] <+Clipped_Cantle> "
07[16:34] * +Alias nods and exits the stairwell onto the current floor, looking for anything of interest or value
[16:35] <~Zeph|GM> 3The door Alias opens leads into a dimly lit corridor with doors on either side and forking passages to either side.
[16:35] <~Zeph|GM> 3Blastwave spots three small dots in the distance.
07[16:35] * +Alias checks out the left door first
[16:37] <~Zeph|GM> 3Moth can make out the dots to be recon units and Ball finds a penny - oh, wait ...it was nothing. Moth, "We've got three light headed our way."
[16:38] <~Zeph|GM> 3The door Alias checks is locked.
07[16:38] * +Alias smirks and floats out her tools.
07[16:38] * +Blastwave "Looks like. Get ready for the offical greeting."
07[16:39] * +Mercury nods. "Thanks." She assumes an authoritative demeanor; confidence being key. "At attention. Somepony please send a message to Miss Torch that they are here."
07[16:39] * +Blastwave looks over at Ball to do that
07[16:39] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer watches the recon ponies approach the roof of the building from her hiding spot
[16:40] <~Zeph|GM> 3Ball snaps to attention at Blastwave's words, nod-nodding, before keeping closer attention to the goings on and the approaching fliery.
[16:40] <~Zeph|GM> 3fliers*
[16:41] <~Zeph|GM> 3The door clicks open under Alias' tools.
07[16:41] * +Alias opens the door and looks inside
[16:43] <~Zeph|GM> 3The room's interior is a relatively shoddy and age-worn office, with a desk and several cabinets behind it. There is the skeleton of a pony curled up in a corner of the dim room, only illuminated by light from the doorway.
07[16:43] * +Mercury makes a quick SATS scan for rank of the approaching ponies when they get in range, trying to see if she should salute or expect them to.
07[16:44] * +Alias makes her way inside, using her horn as a light source and makes a quick check of the desk and cabinets. She looks around for any posters in the room
15[16:47] * +Kirengo waits impatiently.
[16:48] <~Zeph|GM> 3Alias finds a poster of the Ministry of Morale(Watching you, FOREVER!) and one of the Ministry of Image(A poster of Luna standing behind ponies of varying shades on the backdrop of a beautiful night sky. It simply reads: EQUESTRIA). The posters are relatively well preserved for their age. Alias also finds 6 caps and a single bottle of Wonderglue, a stapler and two bobby-pins.
07[16:49] * +Alias checks behind the posters
[16:50] <~Zeph|GM> 3After a little while, Mercury can start to pick up the pegasi more clearly, reading them as 1st LTs.
07[16:54] * +Alias is peeling the posters aware -very- carefully
[16:56] <~Zeph|GM> 3There's glorious wall behind the posters.
07[16:56] * +Mercury waits for the three to get there.
07[16:57] * +Alias keeps the Luna Poster; it's pretty. She then moves to go back into the hall... or does she?
[16:58] <~Zeph|GM> 3Alias manages to rip the old, old posters as she attempts to take them off the wall, tearing one in half  neatly and shredding the FOREVER poster.
07[16:58] * +Alias doesn't take the poster after all
07[16:58] * +Alias is disappoint
[16:59] <~Zeph|GM> 3The wing of recon-armored Enclave pegasi approach the building in a wide ark.
07[17:00] * +Mercury waves them down.
07[17:01] * +Alias heads across the hall to the other door... unless there was a terminal or some paperwork to rummage through in here
[17:02] <~Zeph|GM> 3They come to a slow as the hover on the far corner of the building, before approaching the waiting 'wing' of pegasi. "Who are you and what are you doing here!?" booms the leader of the laser-rifle armed wing.
07[17:02] * +Mercury snaps a salute. “Lieutenant Junior Grade, Willow Wind. My wing and I are here for increased security due to the recent attacks from local wildlife.”
[17:02] <~Zeph|GM> 3The other door is also locked.
07[17:03] * +Alias has at it
[17:04] <~Zeph|GM> 3The pegasis continue to hover, but don't fire yet, "We know of no such detail. Identify who gave you these orders!"
[17:04] <~Zeph|GM> 3After breaking a pin, Alias manages to crack open the door.
15[17:04] * +Kirengo listens to the exchange intently, ready to bound up and out of the stairwell at the first sign of major trouble.
07[17:05] * +Alias opens the door and looks inside
[17:07] <~Zeph|GM> 3The room is almost identical to the first, the only difference is that the MI poster is joined by a poster advertising the exhibition with an image of Sweetie Belle on stage, listing the various exhibited artists of the museeum.
07[17:08] * +Mercury “There have been some lapses communication lately. These orders come form Major Cloud Castle (Some old commanding officer in roughly the right department). We have cleared a sight for the weapon and have been observing Bucklan Cross.”
07[17:08] * +Alias beams at the Sweetie Belle poster and moves to collect it. Much more carefully that her previous attempt
[17:09] <+Mercury> (from*)
07[17:10] * +Alias then does a sweep of the cabinets, desk and corpse, looking for anything
[17:11] <~Zeph|GM> 3The leader nods and sets down, followed by the two others, saying, "What's the situation?"
[17:13] <~Zeph|GM> 3Alias finds nothing much, other than old papers, a paper weight, a clipboard and another stapler.
07[17:13] * +Mercury “The facility is heavily fortified, but seems to be taking in a large number of refugees, including elders and foals. There has been no notable change in demeanor other than that.”
[17:15] <~Zeph|GM> 3"Are you going to inform us of something we don't know? What of this 'local wildlife' you were sent here for?"
07[17:16] * +Alias stashes the papers; old information was still information, especially if it might be Sweetie Belle related. She also grabs the clipboard in case she finds any other papers she felt like keeping. She then slips out of that room and back to the fork in the hall. She decides to start by going left again.
07[17:16] * +Mercury "Ah, yes, bloodwings. I have a team dealing with them now."
[17:19] <~Zeph|GM> 3Everyone on the roof spots the somewhat larger and now approaching dot of a sky-tank, as Moth informs Blastwave and Ball over the radio, whispering.
07[17:20] * +Blastwave gives a very slight nod to show he's sees it
07[17:21] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer blinks as she sees the tank coming from her hiding spot, she flutters her wings nervously
07[17:21] * +Mercury blinks and realizes that the tank can most likely read the full tags and Blastwave's is from a known traitor. She looks at him. "Check on the teams progress. We have guests."
[17:21] <~Zeph|GM> 3The recon nods and hovers back up, "Fan out and survey the area. Keep lookouts on the surrounding streets."
15[17:21] * +Kirengo is delightfully oblivious to the approaching tank.
[17:22] <+Mercury> ( redact)
07[17:22] * +Mercury nods and stands at attention. "Assist them."
07[17:23] * +Blastwave looks over curiously at Mercury and fans out to keep a lookout...
07[17:24] * +Alias contineus inspecting the lefr corridor
[17:24] <~Zeph|GM> 3The leader nods and sets down, trotting towards the door.
[17:26] <~Zeph|GM> 3The left corridor is bare with four doors on each side.
07[17:26] * +Alias checks for any unlocked doors first
[17:26] <~Zeph|GM> 3There's light coming out of a window at the end of the corridor. One of the doors is unlocked and ajar.
07[17:27] * +Mercury glances form the leader to the tank and then the door. She quickly follows the recon leader. "May I speak with you a moment?"
[17:27] <~Zeph|GM> 3The other two recon follow the leader to the door and they proceed into the building as the leader turns to Mercury, asking, "What is it?"
15[17:28] * +Kirengo is still at the bottom of the stairs with Torch and Clipped completely oblivious to the ponies headed towards the stairwell.
07[17:28] * +Alias heads to the unlocked door first and looks inside
07[17:28] * +Blastwave notices them near the door and trots over to Mercury and salutes and says very loudly, "Street Is Clear Ma'am!"
07[17:30] * +Mercury waves for them to follow her in the door, just around the corner from the stairs. "Something worrisome has come to my attention."
07[17:30] * +Mercury nods to Blastwave. "Thank you."
04[17:31] <~Zeph|GM> 3Clipped Cantle is very aware of the two pegasi in the doorway, just out of sight. Kirengo is not. The leader follows Mercury, asking, "What has come to your attention?"
04[17:31] * +Clipped_Cantle blinks and pokes Kirengo in the flank, then gestures to the door Alias went through before creeping toward it.
15[17:32] * +Kirengo furrows his brow but moves back with Clipped_Cantle.
[17:34] <~Zeph|GM> 3Clipped is noticed by the recons and they hurry down the stairs and head for the doorway, while their leader glances at Mercury, saying, "That our guys, or the wildlife?"
07[17:35] * +Mercury "Ours. Don't worry about it."
07[17:37] * +Mercury waves the leader's attention back to herself.
[17:38] <~Zeph|GM> 3The leader impatiently taps his hoof on the ground, "Well, then, what is it? We're about to start."
07[17:39] * +Mercury lowers her voice. "The settlement down there is not a purely military target. They are spending most of their resources protecting and caring for refugees and children. Are we really going to bombard what is essentially a relief station?”
[17:42] <~Zeph|GM> 3The leader narrows his eyes, saying, "Your point being? If the dirtsiders protect their military with their civilians, then that's blood on their hooves. That down there is a military installation with heavy weaponry. Are you QUESTIONING orders, maam!?"
07[17:43] * +Clipped_Cantle tries to duck into one of the doors Alias left open before being seen.
15[17:44] * +Kirengo drops out of the hidden shadows and tries to deliver a flurry of kicks to disable the Enclave guns.
07[17:45] * +Mercury nods. "Yes. I am. Down here they need military forces to survive. Even more so now that we have started attacking them out of the blue. I don‘t know about you, but I did not sign up to slaughter foals."
[17:47] <~Zeph|GM> 3The right laser rifle of the enclave recon is shattered into bits, the savage blow also hitting the pony behind it, causing the recon to cry out in pain.
[17:49] <~Zeph|GM> 3The other recon's right gun is also shattered into pieces as the pony cries out in pain.
04[17:51] <~Zeph|GM> 3Kirengo's next two attacks miss the ponies, however.
[17:56] <~Zeph|GM> 3Moth storms over and hovers into the doorway, as he tackles the recon in front of Mercury.
07[17:56] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer hears somepony cry out in pain...her face twists as she debates waiting and sticking to the plan or going to help
[17:59] <~Zeph|GM> 3Moth successfully tackles and pins the recon leader against the wall, holding him there, while ball rushes down the stairs, taking one snap shot at teach of the two other recon.
[18:02] <~Zeph|GM> 3Moth's four beams of energy miss the first pony he targets, but vaporize the second recon's leg as the burning illicit cries of agony as the pony sinks to the ground, off balance.
07[18:03] * +Mercury cries out. "Don't kill them!"
07[18:03] * +Blastwave is not sure how helpful he can be in a battle that doesn't involving killing people in closed spaces
[18:05] <~Zeph|GM> 3The recon leader manages to break free from the pin by Moth, backpedaling in the air as he fires three times on the other pegasus.
[18:07] <~Zeph|GM> 3The recons guns must have scuffed on Moth's armor, because the glitch before they can even fire once, making the leader spend the rest of his turn on unjamming them.
[18:07] <~Zeph|GM> 3It was also Ball that vaporized the leg.
04[18:08] <~Zeph|GM> 3Torch totally followed Clipped_Cantle and Kirengo and now comes charging out from behind them, attempting to tackle the still leg-fun recon.
[18:11] <~Zeph|GM> 3Torch slams into the recon mare, with massive force, but fails to hold her down, whirling off to the side as her attack fails.
04[18:14] <~Zeph|GM> 3The floored recon struggles to aim, squeezing off two shots from his one remaining rifle and burning a nasty line across Kirengo's cheek, just under his right eye.
[18:19] <~Zeph|GM> 3The mare Torch tackled responds with a fury, blasting at the Flamer Major with her beams, lightly searing her left hindleg, but landing a devastating hit on Torch's chest, burning a glowing hole clear through the armor.
[18:21] <~Zeph|GM> 3Torch curses and shouts with pain, prompting her armor to apply healing immediately.
15[18:21] * +Kirengo recoils from the pain in his face and gives a yell, sheer fury rising to the top. Enclave that didn't care if they killed refugees in Bucklyn was bad enough. Now he was shooting him in the face! He rears up and yells, bringing his forehooves down onto the Recon's head as hard as he can.
04[18:24] <~Zeph|GM> 3Kirengo slams his pneumatic powerhoof into the concrete just beside the pony's head, cracking it and leaving a nasty-looking dent.
15[18:24] * +Kirengo snorts and does it again. Now he's just pissed.
04[18:27] <~Zeph|GM> 3The recon's head turns into paint under Kirengo's powerful stomp,, now just a mess of shattered bone and blood, spread all over Kirengo and a 2m radius around the impact.
07[18:28] * +Mercury "NO!"
07[18:31] * +Blastwave "Should yell no, before he crushes them." He looks around the battle feild and sees the leader flying awya. he takes a HE grenade out of his vest, cooks it, and chucks it at his wing in an aimed explosion
15[18:36] * +Kirengo "What do you mean no?!"
[18:37] <~Zeph|GM> 3The grenade finds it's mark expertly, detonating in a massive bell of hurt, ripping off the recon's wing and ...his everything else on that side for that matter as the blastwave slams the corpse into the ground with crushing force, adding injury to injury and death.
07[18:38] * +Blastwave "I uh... just wanted to stop him from escaping...:
07[18:38] * +Mercury gapes at the second body, just opening and closing her mouth like a dieing fish.
07[18:39] * +Blastwave looks over at Mercury, "The talking didn't work! And they were shooting at us! What else could we have done? Lie down and die?"
07[18:40] * +Clipped_Cantle turns on the final recon and points her guns at him before biting her trigger reign three times.
07[18:41] * +Mercury gulps ad tries to regain her composure. "Take the body inside. I'll calim it was a blood wing that you blew up. And for Celestia's sake, take care of the one missing her leg." She walks back out to the roof.
07[18:41] * +Mercury amends. "And I don't mean killing her!"
[18:42] <~Zeph|GM> 3The one missing her leg is also missing her head...
07[18:42] * +Blastwave runs over to the body and starts to drag it downstairs leaving a smear of blood
07[18:43] * +Mercury "It is six on one, for fucks sake, don't kill her!"
[18:44] <~Zeph|GM> 3The beams of searing energy burn the tackled recon mare's chest, the high energy beams ripping into her torso and right hidleg as she buckles and screams in agony, barely alive.
07[18:45] * +Mercury fights to keep her composure as she goes to meet the tank.
07[18:46] * +Blastwave drags the body inside as fast as he can
07[18:46] * +Clipped_Cantle snorts and moves over to Torch, pulling a healing potion out of her bags. "Hold still, let me get this on your wound."
15[18:46] * +Kirengo looks at Mercury. "They shot us!"
07[18:46] * +Blastwave "Where is Alias!"
[18:46] <+Blastwave> *Jot Note
15[18:46] <+Kirengo> Jot note*
[18:47] <+Clipped_Cantle> "No clue, she ran off to explore and left us here."
[18:47] <~Zeph|GM> 3The tank is still approaching, but doesn't look like it's friendly, judging by the lone blast of Nova-Energy sailing in the general direction of Mercury as she exits the building.
15[18:47] * +Kirengo blinks at Blastwave, still cringing a bit from the pain in his cheek. He totally forgot about Alias. He turns around. "Jot!"
07[18:48] * +Alias has obviously heard the explosions, and has come back from her checking out the corridor. However, she slipped into one of the rooms she had previously opened and is only now coming out that the fight is over.
[18:48] <~Zeph|GM> 3The blast doesn't in fact reach Mercury, as it is intercepted by a seemingly oblivious Enclave Trooper.
07[18:49] * +Mercury waves her hooves in the air. "Don't shoot!"
07[18:49] * +Blastwave looks back out of the door way, "This is not working at all...":
15[18:50] * +Kirengo "She's here!" He looks back at Clipped, Blast, and the dying Recon mare. He quickly pulls the recon armor off of the one whose head he squished then bends down over the still barely alive one. "Hi, how are you?"
[18:50] <~Zeph|GM> 3The Trooper veers off course and flies lower, one more visible to each side of the tank, including top and bottom.
07[18:51] * +Blastwave "That's... four, five altogether? Oh come on!"
[18:51] <~Zeph|GM> 3Torch nods and lets Clipped_Cantle work, sighing metallically as the potion takes effect through the armor, "You have some scrap?"
07[18:52] * +Clipped_Cantle nods and pulls out six pieces of scrap metal from her bags. "Yeah, I do."
07[18:52] * +Blastwave looks around at everyone, "Okay, if moon can plant the bomb, and signal us we might get out of this alive."
[18:52] <~Zeph|GM> 3Torch pops open a hatch on her flank, saying, "Pop on in 'ere and Ah'll be good."
07[18:53] * +Clipped_Cantle blinks. "Really? That easy?" She stuffs the scrap where indicated.
[18:54] <~Zeph|GM> 3Torch nods as there is a low, blue glow over the entry-hole, saying, "It only works up to a point, but it's good for stuff like this."
07[18:54] * +Mercury "Friendly fire! Stand Down!"
[18:56] <~Zeph|GM> 3The speaker of the tank blares, *STAND DOWN! RELINQUISH YOUR WEAPONS AND LAY ON THE GROUND!*
04[18:56] * +Clipped_Cantle huh's, then digs out another potion. "Here, Kirengo, let me give you this. I know you aren't that bad, but I've got plenty and..." She pauses as she catches the sound of the speakers. "...yeah."
07[18:56] * +Blastwave slinks further still in the building hoping the tank didn't mean them.
07[18:57] * +Mercury drops her almost worthless sidearm and does so.
07[18:57] * +Alias peeks out of the room; "Looks like plan A is done. What's our way out for plan B?
[18:57] <+Alias> "
15[18:57] * +Kirengo lifts his head as he hears the speakers. "I have no clue what that is..." and now yelling, "NEW PLAN! FIGHT TO THE BOTTOM AND BLOW THE BULDING!"
04[18:57] <~Zeph|GM> 3The wounded mare scurries back from Kirengo, her battle-rush subsiding as she takes in the horror of what just happened to her teammate.
07[18:58] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer hears the speakers of the tank clearly from her hiding spot "Oh...this is not good..."
07[18:58] * +Blastwave looks over at Mercury, "Get the buck over here, if you drop your weapons you'll be killed!"
15[18:59] * +Kirengo "EVERYONE GET IN HERE!"
07[18:59] * +Alias shifts back into the Enclave Ensign while still inside the room, then comes out. to join the crowd
06[18:59] * Zepheniah ([email protected]) has joined #Space_RP
06[18:59] * ChanServ sets mode: +qo Zepheniah Zepheniah

07[19:00] * +Blastwave "Don't throw your life away! The shows over. You can die, but it wont prove anything!'
13[19:00] * ~Zeph|GM ([email protected]) Quit (Killed (NickServ (GHOST command used by [email protected])))
15[19:00] * +Kirengo "If you try you are going to die!"

06[19:01] * ChanServ sets mode: +qo Fish_Stick Fish_Stick
07[19:01] * +Blastwave "They know whats up, they wont listen. We have to stop them, or they'll attack Bucklyn. And we can't do it up here."
15[19:03] * +Kirengo glares back over at the wounded recon mare. "When your friends come in here, tell them how screwed they'll be when they come after my friends and me."
04[19:03] <~Zeph|GM> 3Torch blinks behind her helmet and looks to Kirengo, "We're running? What about the bomb?"
07[19:03] * +Clipped_Cantle sighs. "We can't leave her... you just shouted our plan, she'll tell them."
07[19:04] * +Blastwave looks back at torch, "They have a tank."
15[19:04] * +Kirengo looks at Clipped_Cantle. "I had thought of that. But thanks for pointing it out to her now too."
[19:05] <~Zeph|GM> 3Torch wingshrugs, "And you have me~" She adds, "And an invisible bomb."
15[19:05] * +Kirengo rolls his eyes. "Fine. Prisoner it is."
07[19:05] * +Alias nods her agreement; "If Friendship city is any indication, these guys are pretty ruthless, especially if you told them about the refugees already."
07[19:08] * +Mercury is worthless in a fight without her armor. Talking is the only chance she has to be helpful.
15[19:09] * +Kirengo "Mercury! Get in here!" He turns to Alias. "Get the doors open so we can go down."
[19:09] <~Zeph|GM> 3The tank is now dangerously close, the PA troops almost within combat range.
04[19:14] * +Mercury looks over to Kirengo. She thought he was wrong and if she got us she would lose all chance of being able to do anything useful. But being alone would be very dangerous.
15[19:17] * +Kirengo "C'mon!" He turns and runs back down the stairs to get to the door that goes down to the next floor.
07[19:18] * +Blastwave waits by the door and starts counting, if she';s not back in ten seconds he was going out
04[19:18] * +Clipped_Cantle turns and follows Kirengo. "And now bloodwings. Great."
04[19:20] * +Alias looks between the wounded Enclave prisoner, the door the the roof and a nearby window, an insane idea taking root. She practically pounces on the captive mare; "Your name and rank. Now! Or Kirengo pops your head off and I take them from your dog tags."
04[19:21] <+Alias> *replace 'Kirengo' with 'The Zebra'
15[19:21] * +Kirengo blinks at Alias.
[19:23] <~Zeph|GM> 3The mare whimpers and blurts out quickly, "First Lieutenant Sky Scraper. Recon," coughing immediately after from the burns in her chest.
07[19:23] * +Alias smirks at the others; "Crazy idea; just might work though." She gives a threatening look to the Enclave mare; "If somepony is willing to cooperate -very- quickly."
15[19:23] <+Kirengo> (ninja'd)
07[19:23] * +Blastwave looks over at Alias, "Genius, be quick."
07[19:24] * +Alias smirks and shifts to match the mare exactly, applying a cosmetic mimicry of her injuries. "I play dead, you guys take her and run. I slip out when the guys come inside and chase you downstairs. I can get the message to Moon to hit the tank with the bomb."
[19:25] <~Zeph|GM> 3Two more blasts whiz past Mercury and impact the floor of the roof and then an air-duct, leaving exceedingly nasty plasma-marks.
07[19:25] * +Blastwave runs downstairs then, "Make sure Mercury doesn't die."
15[19:25] * +Kirengo "Fine. That works." He picks the mare up and hauls her down the stairs after Blastwave.
07[19:25] * +Alias nods, then lays down in her side. "Playing dead is soemthing I've done before."
07[19:26] * +Alias notes; "Or at least, playing gravely injured."
07[19:26] * +Mercury scampers back to her hooves and runs for the stairs. "Fuck!"
07[19:26] * +Blastwave waits at the stairs, "Why are they shooting!" He yells as loud as he can, "We're on the same side!"
04[19:27] <~Zeph|GM> 3The mare has no energy to protest to Kirengo's ponyhandling. Getting shot in the chest a few times will do that to you.
15[19:27] * +Kirengo "No you're not! They're on the side that shoots innocents, elderly, and foals! "
07[19:27] * +Alias lets he tongue hang out of her mouth and starts breathing more shallowly
[19:28] <+Alias> her
04[19:28] * +Blastwave looks over at Kirengo and facehooves, "Not not dear, I'm trying to collaborate the story." he says quietly
07[19:29] * +Clipped_Cantle just shakes her head. "Let's /go/!"
15[19:29] * +Kirengo shakes his head. "Whatever!" He just runs down the stairs for several floors.
07[19:29] * +Blastwave "I'll be right there, making sure Mercury makes it!"
04[19:29] * +Clipped_Cantle follows after Kirengo.

[01:45] <~Zeph|GM> 10~~~~~~SESSION 10 - 2~~~~~~
[01:45] <~Zeph|GM> 3The first thing Blastwave, Moth and Ball notice is the practically solid wall of red blips in the direction of the interior of the building, to the point that the 'friendly' blips are hard to make out.
[01:45] <~Zeph|GM> 3The second thing is that the Skytank is only about 240ft out and coming towards the tower quickly, with four of the troopers already pulling ahead.
04[01:45] <~Zeph|GM> 3Kirengo is heading down the stairs with Clipped, Torch, Moth, Ball and the wounded recon mare, the appearance of which was assumed by Alias.
[01:45] <~Zeph|GM> 3Mercury is just outside the door, while Blastwave is just inside the building.
[01:45] <~Zeph|GM> 10[1 RP action each, before proceeding to combat-time]
07[01:46] * +Mercury RUNS IN THE DOOR TO AVOID THE LASERS!
07[01:47] * +Blastwave waits until Mercury runs through and follows her, dropping a mine at the bottom of the first landing
15[01:48] * +Kirengo running running running down the stairs trying to put as many floors between him and the Enclave as possible.
[01:48] <+Blastwave> "Bloodwings fucking everywhere!"
07[01:49] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer has no idea what's going on and is staying put because that's the plan
04[01:50] * +Clipped_Cantle is heading down the stairs behind Kirengo, shaking her head. This went to shit right quick. "Fuck! How many?"
07[01:51] * +Alias is still laying and pretending to be unconscious
07[01:51] * +Alias watches as Mercury runs past, avoiding enemy fire
[01:51] <+Blastwave> "Too many!"
[01:52] <~Zeph|GM> 3~~~COMBAT~~~
15[01:52] * +Kirengo goes super saiyan?
[01:55] <~Zeph|GM> 3The skytank has stopped firing, since Mercury has gotten inside and four of the troopers pull ahead with one coming a short distance after, charging into the building one at a time. Two of them are equipped with the same quad-beam saddle as Moth and Ball and the two other visible ones wield dual laser rifles.
07[01:57] * +Alias continues to play dead and hopes that one of the enclave officers either recognizes her or stops to check on one of 'their own', which would provide her the opportunity to be taken back up to the roof to inform the alicorn.
[01:59] <~Zeph|GM> 3The four Troopers don't check on Alias. If she was able to listen in on comms, she would know that the one following behind would check on her once he arrives.
07[02:00] * +Alias continues to wait
07[02:06] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer 's player is half dead, and doesn't know exactly what to do so Moonlight`s_Shimmer stays there for right now
04[02:10] <~Zeph|GM> 3Torch, Moth and Ball, hurry down the stairs alongside Kirengo and Clipped_Cantle, stopping abruptly after 45AP of movement as they shout a warning: Where they are, the stairwell ends without even a landing, leading into a massive cavern that spans several floors. This is where the bloodwing's blips come from and the room is teeming with the screeching horrors, a hole in the floor on the...
[02:10] <~Zeph|GM> ...other side of the room letting in a little dim daylight.
07[02:15] * +Blastwave runs the fuck downstairs and waits with everyone as he can't do anything really
04[02:22] <~Zeph|GM> 3The sound of the combined screeching is of ear-splitting, bone-rattling volume as the swarm of flying abominations descend on Kirengo and Torch and her squad.
04[02:39] <~Zeph|GM> 3The bloodwings falling upon Kirengo attempt to bite and tear at him, but the ferocious zebra buck fends them off for the most part, receiving little more than a small puncture in his ribs for all their effort.
07[02:43] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer 's eyes go wide as she can clearly make out the sound of the bloodwings waking up, and she barely manages to keep her cool, realizing that the plan was far from how it was originally intended to be going
04[02:44] <~Zeph|GM> 3The two blodwings attacking the mare on Kirengo's back are more fortunate in their feeding, one of them managing to latch onto her as it begins to feed, eliciting screams of horror and pain.
[02:47] <~Zeph|GM> 3The bloodwings attack Torch and her squad mostly without any effect, but one of them manages to land a lucky hit in-between where Ball Lightning's right leg meets her chest, beginning to feed on the power armored soldier.
15[02:49] * +Kirengo shrugs the recon mare off and takes a step back. "Blast, now would be the time for explosives!"
07[02:50] * +Blastwave "My name is blastwave, and explosives are always the best answer!'
07[02:53] * +Mercury runs down to Blastwave and holds with her little pistole.
[02:59] <~Zeph|GM> 3A lone bloodwing falls upon Mercury as she comes up by Blastwave, sinking it's teeth into her chest as it begins to feed.
07[03:00] * +Blastwave is ignored... wait, did he even have blood?
07[03:00] * +Mercury screams as she is bit.
07[03:04] * +Clipped_Cantle moves down the stairs and fires on the bloodwing feeding on Mercury. "Fuck fuck FUCK!"
[03:07] <~Zeph|GM> 3Clipped_Cantle's shot hits the abomination's wing and turns it into brightly glowing dust as the creature screeches and detaches from Mercury as a result.
[03:13] <~Zeph|GM> 3Two of the monstrous bats fall upon Clipped_Cantle, sinking their teeth into the small mare's chest and hindleg, although she puts up enough of a fight to fend off their attempts to feed and latch on successfully.
07[03:15] * +Clipped_Cantle screams out a curse.
04[03:27] <~Zeph|GM> 3The remainder of the bloodwings swirl around the room, a /huge/ specimen visible further away, which Kirengo can identify easily as a broodmother.
[03:27] <~Zeph|GM> 3The tank has manages to make it's way to the edge of the building and has slowed down, hovering as it's guns sweep back and forth.
07[03:31] * +Blastwave uses his leftover AP to huck a HE greande at the nearby exit wall and prays
06[03:32] * +Alias ([email protected]) has left #Space_RP
[03:35] <~Zeph|GM> 3The grenade does what it does best and explodes violently, blasting Clipped_Cantle and Mercury back a bit from Blastwave's blastwave as a one-pony-sized hole is blown into the corner of the stairwell in a large cloud of concrete splinters and dust. The hole has two bent metal bars running though it, that look like they won't hold up to much anymore.
[03:54] <~Zeph|GM> 3The Troopers upstairs start rushing downwards towards the sound of the explosion, holding off around the corner as they see the hole in the wall. [20AP each left. Not within vision. PER-1 to notice them over the screeching.]
[03:55] <~Zeph|GM> 3The lagging behind trooper sets down by Alias. [Pause after this turn.]
[04:01] <~Zeph|GM> 3Should they come into vision, it should be easy to detect that two of the troopers have what looks like blackened and hurt left wings.
07[04:05] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer is tired of sitting around and listening to ponies scream in perile, so she decides to, as quickly and sneakily as possible, fly around the tank and put the bomb on it, looking for a suitable spot to do so while the enclave is distracted by everything else ever
[04:08] <~Zeph|GM> 3The tank is heavily armored on all sides and there are two hatches on this large model of it: One on each side and one large one on the back of the vehicle, where presumably the gun would be unloaded from. The front of the tank, where the pilots are, or the inside seem like the safest bets to reliably take it down.
[04:10] <~Zeph|GM> 3There is also one Enclave Trooper flying over the tank in large circles, but she hasn't noticed Moonlight`s_Shimmer.
07[04:11] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer puts the bomb in the place where it most likely will blow up the tank, yay 10 INT?
[04:14] <~Zeph|GM> Moonlight`s_Shimmer lodges the bomb between the front and center of the tank, presuming the blast would hit the cockpit. What do, now? If she leaves the bomb will be visible. She needs a way to signal Blastwave and needs it badly.
[04:14] <~Zeph|GM> 3Moonlight`s_Shimmer lodges the bomb between the front and center of the tank, presuming the blast would hit the cockpit. What do, now? If she leaves the bomb will be visible. She needs a way to signal Blastwave and needs it badly.
07[04:17] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer stays with the bomb for now, holding her AP >.> while keeping an eye on the mare above the tank
[04:19] <~Zeph|GM> 3Torch shouts for Moth and Ball to go intercept the troopers she managed to hear coming over the screeching and starts blasting her flamer-rig at the bloodwings, sending forward four jets of super-heated, blue, magical fire at the creatures as she sweeps as much of the remaining bloodwings as she can with her limited range.
04[04:22] <~Zeph|GM> 3There is a wave of heat, even behind her, that can be felt by Blastwave, Kirengo, Mercury and Clipped_Cantle as the flames practically melt roughly twenty of the beasts the come too close to the beams and severely burn others.
[04:24] <~Zeph|GM> 3Moth and Ball skid around the corner to meet the oncoming Enclave Troopers, firing their weapons at the trooper's heads as fast as they can, using their SATS, that they had saved for this occurrence, as they are immediately returned fire upon.
06[04:25] * Mercury is now known as Mercury_Drone
06[04:26] * Moonlight`s_Shimmer is now known as Shadow|Sleepytyme
13[04:28] * +Shadow|Sleepytyme ([email protected]) Quit (Quit: We stopped looking for the monsters under our beds when we realized they were inside us.)
[04:33] <~Zeph|GM> 3One one of the blasts from Moth and Ball actually does some real damage against the armor, piercing into the helmet of one of the troopers and cooking the left side of his face with the pink beam. The pony jumps back and flaps around the corner as he is hit, screaming metallically.
[04:38] <~Zeph|GM> 3Moth's head is to his good fortune only grazed by the burning beams, while Ball isn't as fortunate, receiving a face full of lasers, causing her to curse at the damage.
07[04:39] * +Blastwave has had it with these motherfucking bloodwings in this mother fucking building! He starts tis patented strafing run throwing one grenade at the wall top open it, one at the broodmother because fuck her, and the other five across the cavern trying to his at many as gorram possible
[04:42] <+Blastwave> "Fuck you everything ever!"
04[04:46] <~Zeph|GM> 3The broodmother lets out and ear-splitting screech as Blastwave's near-perfectly place HE grenades wipe out almost the entire brood, save for the 16, or so that are directly by Kirengo, Blastwave, etc and grievously wound her.
[04:46] <~Zeph|GM> 3The weakened and damaged wall is blown open in another shower of dust and shards of concrete, opening the way to the dim outside with the one-and-only universal key to every door, or not-door for that matter: Explosions.
[05:03] <~Zeph|GM> 10~~~SESSION 10 - 2 END~~~
[01:03] <~Zeph|GM> 10~~~~~~SESSION 10 - 3~~~~~~
[01:03] <~Zeph|GM> 10~~~~~~DAY 10: SUNSHINE~~~~~~
[01:04] <~Zeph|GM> 3The group and Torch are on the cut-short staircase just off from the Bloodwing cavern, the 18 remaining abominations scattered amongst them, with only the de-winged one at Mercury's hooves disabled as it writhes and screeches.
[01:04] <~Zeph|GM> 3Ironically, the Bloodwing Broodmother is bleeding out...
[01:04] <~Zeph|GM> 3Moth and Ball are exchanging shots with the four Enclave PA Troopers on the staircase upwards, that's aligned with the three pony wide 'exit' Blastwave made.
[01:04] <~Zeph|GM> 3Moonlight's Shimmer is invisibly perched atop the skytank's roof after finishing to rig the IED into place, while the lone Trooper circles over head, keeping a lookout.
[01:04] <~Zeph|GM> 3Alias is still in the form of the recon mare, '1st LT Sky Scraper', and is being addressed by the final Enclave PA Trooper.
[01:04] <~Zeph|GM> 10~~~COMBAT CONTINUED: Alias and the Trooper's Turn~~~
[01:04] <~Zeph|GM> 10~~~COMBAT CONTINUED: Moonlight's Shimmer's Turn~~~
[01:04] <~Zeph|GM> 10~~~COMBAT CONTINUED: Bloodwings' Turn~~~
04[01:04] <~Zeph|GM> 10~~~COMBAT CONTINUED: Kirengo's Turn~~~
07[01:09] * +Alias groans and 'struggles' to stand up, deliberately slipping a few times before finally managing to stand, though holding one leg like it was lame and wobbling. She looks to the armoured troop addressing her; "Dem-demolitions expert. Th-they have." He speech is stammered and only half coherent. She had used the wounded gazelle gambit before. Hopefully it would work. Her cosmetically applied injuries looked the part at least.
[01:12] <~Zeph|GM> 3The Trooper ushers Alias towards the exit-door onto the roof, saying urgently, "Quickly and get to the tank, soldier; Armor's taking over."
07[01:13] * +Alias nods and begins to limp alongside the trooper, letting one of her wings hang limp at her side.
07[01:19] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer looks down at the explosion, you know the one that blew open a hole in the side of the building, and that Moon's player wasn't here for last night because he passed out, and figures that's where Blastwave is, so she flies down towards it as fast as possible, and once she gets close enough yells "BLASTWAVE, BLOW IT UP!"
[01:24] <~Zeph|GM> 3The Trooper above the tank spots the bomb near-instantly as Moonlight`s_Shimmer departs, making a frenzied lunge at it, trying to dislodge it, but in his panic is trying to detach the antenna under which it is lodged, shouting in panic.
04[01:26] <~Zeph|GM> 3The screeching monstrosities fall upon Clipped_Cantle, Kirengo and Mercury at three each and four on the zebra, another three on Torch and two on Blastwave, trying to bite and claw at the ghoul that killed most of their brood.
04[01:36] <~Zeph|GM> 3Kirengo manages to ferociously fend off three of the bloodwings attacking him as he parries their bites with deft movements and deflections with his powerhooves, only letting one of the creatures through, which latches onto his side, beginning to feed greedily.
[01:50] <~Zeph|GM> 3The monstrosities that fall upon Clipped_Cantle bite and tear at the little mare, creating a gash each in her throat and ribs, the latter creature managing to start feeding, while it's brother/sister tears a nasty looking gash into Clipped_Cantle's left foreleg as it unsuccessfully attempts to feed.
07[01:52] * +Clipped_Cantle screams once more. "FUCKFUCKFUCKFUCK! GETEMOFF!"
[01:59] <~Zeph|GM> 3The bloodwings attacking the less strong and agile Mercury have more success in their hunting, latching onto her side and right foreleg as they begin to drain the mare of her lifeblood. She does however manage to fend off the first of the creatures, causing it to miss and bite one of it's fellows instead, dislodging it from Mercury quickly. [2 END damage instead of 3!]
15[02:00] * +Kirengo looks through the gaping hole in the wall as he hears a yell. Wait, not just any yell. That was Moon. And she was telling Blast to blow the bomb. But Blast had his hooves full with gren- oh holy crap bloodwings! Bloodwings everywhere! He swings to knock most of them off but gives off a yell as one sinks its teeth into his body. Still, though, he sticks to the order and grabs the detonator off of Blastwave and hits the trigger twice to blow the bomb.
07[02:03] * +Blastwave "If this doesn't work we're all food"
[02:07] <~Zeph|GM> 3There is a deafening explosion as the tank goes up in a red and orange fireball, the colors mixing with red and blue and pink as the tank's ammo joins the fun, practically vaporizing the Trooper attempting to dislodge the charge.
[02:07] <~Zeph|GM> 3Alias and the Trooper with her are blasted back a few feet from the force of the blastwave, getting a great view of -
[02:07] <~Zeph|GM> 3The sky explodes.
[02:07] <~Zeph|GM> 3Massive, rippling waves of rainbow-colored light tear across the sky above you, vaporizing the cloud cover as they move outwards from the SPP towers, letting through the first rays of sunshine.
07[02:07] * +Blastwave blinkly blink, "I DIDN'T DO THAT! I DIDN'T DO THAT!"
07[02:08] * +Clipped_Cantle is too busy trying to not die to even notice.
07[02:09] * +Mercury would heroic blue screen, but is occupied with exsangunation.
07[02:10] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer 's eyes go wide, but quickly returns her attentione to what she cared about more than the sky randomly blowing up, her screaming marefriend "CLIPPED!" and then she gets hit by the blastwave probably
07[02:11] * +Alias lands on her side roughly. Huh, apparently she didn't need- Whoa! She just gapes as the sky is ripped open and she sees the sun for the first time. She actually has to shield her eyes from the brilliance of it
[02:11] <~Zeph|GM> 3The Trooper next to Alias is stunned, staring in horror at the sky.
07[02:13] * +Alias just gapes
07[02:20] * +Mercury aims at the thing biting her, pressing the gun muzzle to its stationary head.
07[02:24] * +Mercury pulls the trigger, unloading a white hot blob of ruinous plasma into its skull.
[02:24] <~Zeph|GM> 3The furious vengeance from Mercury's plasma pistol rips into the feeding creature's skull, instantly killing it and turning it's head and then body into sizzling goo as it melts in it's entirety.
06[02:24] * RainbowYoshi ([email protected]) has joined #Space_RP
06[02:24] * ChanServ sets mode: +v RainbowYoshi
07[02:26] * +Clipped_Cantle keeps screaming and tries to buck the bloodwing feeding on her off.
07[02:26] * +Mercury stares out of the hole at the cloudless sky and plops down on her rump, eyes wide and lip quivering.
07[02:28] * +Blastwave looks over at Mercury, "Breakdown when we aren't fighting for our lives!"
[02:29] <~Zeph|GM> 3Clipped is not successful in removing the hungry bloodwing from her, despite her valiant efforts.
[02:29] <+Clipped_Cantle> "GET THIS FUCKING THING OFF ME!!!"
07[02:26] * +Clipped_Cantle keeps screaming and tries to buck the bloodwing feeding on her off.
07[02:26] * +Mercury stares out of the hole at the cloudless sky and plops down on her rump, eyes wide and lip quivering.
07[02:28] * +Blastwave looks over at Mercury, "Breakdown when we aren't fighting for our lives!"
[02:29] <~Zeph|GM> 3Clipped is not successful in removing the hungry bloodwing from her, despite her valiant efforts.
[02:29] <+Clipped_Cantle> "GET THIS FUCKING THING OFF ME!!!"
02[02:29] * +Kirengo ([email protected]) Quit (Quit: )
06[02:30] * RainbowYoshi is now known as Kirengo
[02:30] <~Zeph|GM> 3The Troopers in the hallway continue to fire upon Moth and Ball, not having seen the rainbow-explosions, yet.
[02:37] <~Zeph|GM> 3There are screams from the stairs opposite the hole as the pink lasers of the Enclave PA Troopers mecilessly rip through Moth and Balls helmets, turning the unfortunate pegasi inside into warm, pink dust as they scream bloody murder, before abruptly silencing.
[02:38] <~Zeph|GM> 3There is a pause, where the entire world seems to slow down for a second, just before everyone in- and outside the building is his by a wall of force that arrives from the booms in the sky.
[02:38] <+Moonlight`s_Shimmer> is hit*
[02:39] <~Zeph|GM> 3yes, that
07[02:40] * +Alias looks at her stunned Enclave 'rescuer' and gets an idea. She lets out a scream at the top of her lungs before scrambling to her hooves. "No! Gone! All blown up! Not again! Not Again!" She then runs screaming inside the building through the roof entrance at full tilt, slipping into one of the offices she already opened and hiding there for the moment.
[02:41] <~Zeph|GM> 3Alias does not have sufficient AP to do this fully, ending her movement in a doorway to one of the offices.
[02:42] <~Zeph|GM> 3The Trooper seems lost as to what the feather he should do as he just keeps watching the explosions in the sky.
07[02:46] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer flies into the building and envelopes the Bloodwings that are on and near Clipped_Cantle in her telekenesis, and attempts to hurl them into the wall "YOU WILL NOT HARM HER ANYMORE!"
07[02:46] * +Alias watches the window on the far wall of the office in case any of her companions fly by. If they didn't, she'd open the window and fly out on her own anyways.
[02:51] <~Zeph|GM> 3The bloodwings go flying, screeching as the slam into the wall and Moonlight`s_Shimmer can hear bones breaking in a satisfying manner as they impact.
07[02:53] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer lifts Clipped_Cantle and Mercury in her telekenesis, seeing how bad off they are, and sets them both on her back then flies out of the hole, slightly stunned from the view of the sky
07[02:57] * +Mercury blinks as she is lifted. "No!" She flails to try and get free.
07[02:58] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer reappears, having forgotten she was invisible "Mercury! We are saving you! Stop resisting our attempts to keep you from harm!"
[03:00] <~Zeph|GM> 3Mercury's attempts are successful and the pegasus pushes free of the telekinetic field, starting to hurtle towards the ground, over 100 meters below.
07[03:04] * +Mercury "I'm not leaving Torch!"
[03:08] <~Zeph|GM> 3(redact to Mercury simply being being dropped by Moon and Moon carrying Clipped in her telekiniesis instead of her back.)
07[03:12] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer sets Clipped_Cantle down on her back and keeps her there, using her TK to keep Clipped_Cantle from weighing her down. There problem solved, thats what she did the other times too, now stop fucking arguing about it.
[03:14] <~Zeph|GM> 3Torch cries in rage as she sees the two blips of her friends wink out, rushing towards the hole and then around the corner to meet the offending ponies head-on with her flamethrower, filling the entire stairwell above them with blue, magical flames.
[03:23] <~Zeph|GM> 3The concrete of the stairs splinters and bends, the jets of fire melting and burning the Troopers within seconds, before doing the same to their armor as their screams last even less long than Moth and Ball's. Going upwards quickly becomes a dead end filled with molten metal, ashes and cracked concrete.
07[03:27] * +Blastwave sees death and explosions everywhere and notices the evacuation, he flies over to torch, who looks pissed, and tries to pull her to the exit, "Cmon Torch, they're dead, we need to get the buck out of here."
07[03:29] * +Clipped_Cantle slumps on Moonlight`s_Shimmer's back and hugs the mare with all four limbs, sighing. "Thanks, Moon..."
[03:29] <~Zeph|GM> 3Torch gives in to Blastwave's tugging as she shakily steps away backwards from the incinerated and dusted bodies, backing with Blastwave to the exit.
15[03:30] * +Kirengo "Moon! Get Moth and Ball too!"
07[03:31] * +Blastwave "I'm sorry." he says. "They died to save everyone at Buckly. Without them the Enclave would have fucked us from behind. They're heroes."
02[03:31] * +Mercury ([email protected]) Quit (Connection closed)
[03:31] <~Zeph|GM> 3The bloodwings screech and scream, rebounding in pain at the light from outside as they attempt to follow, milling about aimlessly in agony, before retreating into the dark part of the cavern.
07[03:31] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer nods and levitates Moth and Ball's...corpses...along with them. She turns to her back and nuzzles Clipped_Cantle "We were so worried..."
06[03:31] * kashin ([email protected]) has joined #Space_RP
06[03:31] * ChanServ sets mode: +v kashin
15[03:32] * +Kirengo yells in pain again as the bloodwing pulls its teeth out of him and flies off. "Out out everybody out now back to the boat!" He turns around to pick up mercury.
06[03:32] * kashin is now known as Mercury
[03:32] <~Zeph|GM> 3Moth and Ball's 'corpses' are two suits of Enclave Power Armor with partially melted helmets, filled with pinkish-white dust.
07[03:33] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer does as instructed and flies back to the boat with Clipped_Cantle on her back and Moth and Ball's 'corpses' with her
07[03:33] * +Mercury seems to be running on automatic. "Is that all of them?" She still thinks it is a sweet gesture to get the dust and tags for a burrial.
07[03:34] * +Blastwave back flaps out of the exit he made and stares up into the sky, his full mask covering any emotion he might be having
15[03:34] * +Kirengo "I have no clue!" He picks Mercury up and flaps into the air and carries her out of the building.
[03:35] <~Zeph|GM> 3Torch stumbles out of the building and drops a few stories like a stone, before coming to her senses and catching herself into a glide, not taking on powered flight.
04[03:35] * +Mercury looks up to Kirengo. "Leave no mare behind. Is Alias okay?"
[03:35] <+Moonlight`s_Shimmer> Alias probably follows everyone once she hears they're leaving
07[03:35] * +Clipped_Cantle nuzzles Moonlight`s_Shimmer back. "I'm fine, thanks to yo-" She stops and squeaks, jaw hanging open as she looks up at the clear blue sky for the first time.
07[03:37] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer is also staring at the sky as she flies
07[03:37] * +Alias sifts back to the green pegasus she had been before so the party would recognize her, then flies out the window to rejoin the group
07[03:38] * +Blastwave looks up ay Alias, "What happened! Is there any left?"
15[03:38] * +Kirengo sees Alias. "Yeah, she's fine. Nobody's left behind. You need help."
[03:40] <~Zeph|GM>  3Fish Stick is in the wheelhouse of the boat, the vessel soon visible as tied up and moored by a small hoof-bridge on the river.
07[03:41] * +Alias shakes her head; "Tank blew up good; guy who stopped ot check on me in my disguise was sitting on the roof stunned to I took the opportunity to bail. Was kinda worried for a bit there. Also, can any of you tell me what the fuck just happened to the sky?"
07[03:41] * +Blastwave looks up at it again, "Well... you can see it. Thats a start."
07[03:41] * +Blastwave suddenly turns and flies to Moonlight`s_Shimmer, "MOONLIGHT! You're glorious! If I wasn't gay I'd kiss you!"
04[03:42] * +Alias blinks at Kirengo; "What do I need help with?" She looks perfectly uninjured
07[03:42] * +Clipped_Cantle is still just staring upward, metal jaw hanging open.
15[03:42] * +Kirengo "Not you, Mercury." Mercury probably looks rather shriveled.
07[03:42] * +Mercury "I don't know... Something awful... We aren't just going to leave them?"
07[03:42] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer blinks then blushes "Er, we are afraid we are taken..." she manages to eep out despite the fact she's still awe stricken by the sudden appearance of sky
15[03:43] * +Kirengo "Leave -who-?!"
07[03:43] * +Blastwave "The remaining Enclave Presonal... "
07[03:43] * +Mercury "The soldier. They must be terrified."
07[03:44] * +Blastwave "I'll take you to them Merc, if everyone else is heading back..." Blastwave understands
07[03:45] * +Mercury smiles weakly to Blastwave. "Thank you."
15[03:45] * +Kirengo "We're all half dead and you're worr-" he cuts off as Blastwave speaks. "Buck that." He turns around and starts to head back to the roof.
[03:45] <~Zeph|GM> 3Fish is now probably on the deck of the boat in danger of breaking her neck, by leaning back too far to view the sky with her yaw hanging open. Heh, not really a danger...
04[03:45] * +Blastwave blinks and follows Kirengo up, "You don't have to come. You're injured, you should go back."
[03:46] <~Zeph|GM> 3The soldier on the roof is right where Alias left him, still staring at the sky.
15[03:47] * +Kirengo snorts and just flies a bit faster up tot he top of the roof. He checks around to make sure they aren't about to get ambushed then sets Mercury down on the roof.
07[03:47] * +Blastwave lands beside Mercury and looks at the soldier.
04[03:48] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer stops and flies over to the roof with Kirengo and them, landing and setting Clipped_Cantle down and then hugging her to her chest "Clipped...you are hurt...please heal yourself..." she sets Moth and Ball down nearby
04[03:48] * +Mercury looks up at Kirengo and nods a thanks to him as she slowly approaches the soldier, her wing raised in a passive gesture.
07[03:48] * +Alias follows the group, but stays behind Moonlight.
07[03:49] * +Clipped_Cantle blink blink blinks as her view of the sky is obstructed by Moonlight`s_Shimmer's chest. "Huh?"
07[03:49] * +Blastwave follows beside but slightly further back than Mercury
[03:49] <~Zeph|GM> 3The solder doesn't respond to Mercury's gesture, his gaze transfixed on the sky, EFS be thrice damned.
07[03:50] * +Mercury walks directly in front of the soldier and sits down.
07[03:51] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer nuzzles Clipped_Cantle "You are hurt, and require healing..." the sky explodes? Fuck the sky, marefriend is more important than that
15[03:51] * +Kirengo just drops to his hooves and doesn't bother to fold in his wings, letting them droop to his sides. He hadn't had a chance to just take a breath since the recon troopers had entered. "Medic... quick... everyone's bucked up."
07[03:52] * +Blastwave is perfectly unharmed
[03:53] <~Zeph|GM> 3The Enclave Trooper eventually becomes aware of Mercury and looks down, still wide-eyed behind his helmet, stammering metallicaly, "W- wh- what!? H- Who!?
04[03:53] * +Clipped_Cantle nuzzles Moonlight`s_Shimmer back and nods. "Ok, right. Yeah... sorry. Just... distracted." She turns to look at Kirengo and canters over to him, pulling a healing potion from her bag and extending toward the buck to drink.
07[03:53] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer looks back up at the sky and just stares
15[03:55] * +Kirengo blinks a couple times blankly at Clipped_Cantle, not getting the gesture. He hadn't expected to be taken care of first, definitely not before the medic herself. He does realize what he's supposed to do and takes a drink of the potion, however.
07[03:55] * +Mercury shakes her head. "I don't know. I really don't. But it is not safe to be alone."
07[03:56] * +Alias is also without a scratch
15[03:58] * +Kirengo shakes his head after drinking. "Fix yourself."
[03:59] <~Zeph|GM> 3The Trooper breathes heavily, getting up and backing off, despite being better armored, "Y- You blew it up! You maniacs! You blew it up! Y- You blew it all up, - you damn dirty dirt-ponies! FAAAAAA-!!!" He screams, his helmet distorting the sound into a metallic one.
07[04:00] * +Blastwave blinkly blinks at the trooper, "I didn't mean to."
07[04:00] * +Clipped_Cantle shrugs. "I'm..." She winces, then scowls. "...fine. I can wait until I get the rest of you patched up." She spins toward the screaming buck, weapons at the ready.
15[04:00] * +Kirengo looks over at the Enclave trooper, swallowing a very bitter 'told you so' and leaps into the air.
07[04:00] * +Blastwave carefully steps infront of Mercury in case the trooper tries to attack
07[04:01] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer looks at the trooper and trots over to him/her "We blew up your tank." she pauses "We did not blow up the sky."
07[04:01] * +Alias shrugs at the buck's screaming. So far as she could tell, this was a plus. And if any of the pegasi military suffered because of it, they kinda deserved it
07[04:01] * +Mercury nods to the trooper, clearly feeling a similar sentiment, but not expressing it as venomously. She slowly and cautiously, puts a wing on the trooper’s shoulder.
[04:03] <+Mercury> (Redact the touch
[04:03] <+Mercury> )
[04:04] <+Mercury> (2 AM derp)
[04:05] <~Zeph|GM> 3The Trooper scurries back some more, now fully standing there with his wings flared, looking panicked between them as he starts to take in the rest of the group and Mercury's missing wing.
07[04:05] * +Blastwave looks at the Trooper very seriously, "We're trying to help... please don't attack us."
07[04:07] * +Mercury looks at him sadly. "Please, it is dangerous out here. Let us take you somewhere safe to think this out. Whatever you decide, you can go in peace if you wish."
15[04:11] * +Kirengo is preparing and ready to tackle this trooper at the first sign of aggression
[04:12] <~Zeph|GM> 3The Trooper nods and shakes his head at the same time somehow, backing off more, before fleeing as fast has he can, heading in a direction he's not even sure as to where it leads.
07[04:13] * +Mercury reaches out her hoof. "Please... stay safe!"
07[04:13] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer watches the trooper fly off and just shakes her head
07[04:13] * +Blastwave yells at the stallion, "DON'T SAY OUTSIDE AT NIGHT IN THE CITY!" Parting words of advice
15[04:13] * +Kirengo "Now can we go back to the bucking boat?"
04[04:15] * +Blastwave looks over at Kirengo, "Yea, sorry."
02[04:15] * +Alias ([email protected]) Quit (Quit: See you !)
07[04:15] * +Mercury sighs. "Yes..." She walks back to the others, taking care to not look up. She is muttering, "Please let it be a bad dream," over and over.
07[04:16] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer looks at Mercury with sad face
15[04:16] * +Kirengo "We're alive. If this is a bad dream, I can't wait to have a good dream." He goes to pick Mercury back up and fly back to the boat.
04[04:16] * +Blastwave looks back at Mercury, "Doesn't look like." he follows Kirengo
07[04:18] * +Clipped_Cantle nods and limps back over to Moonlight`s_Shimmer. "Yeah... let's go."
[04:19] <~Zeph|GM> 3Torch and Fish Stick are on the deck of the boat, the pegasus looking at the planks with her helmet off and the coral earth pony waves to the approaching group.
07[04:19] * +Blastwave drops onto the deck and takes off his helmet, and then the rest of his armour
07[04:19] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer gets to the boat and sets Clipped_Cantle down and noses her neck
15[04:20] * +Kirengo sets Mercury down onto the deck then alights alongside her. "We need to get out of here, Fish."
04[04:21] * +Blastwave walks over to Kirengo once he's stripped, "Are you okay."
07[04:21] * +Mercury sits down and looks at the deck.
[04:22] <~Zeph|GM> 3Fish nods to Mercury and hops onto shore as she starts untying the boat.
07[04:22] * +Clipped_Cantle nuzzles Moonlight`s_Shimmer, then limps over to Mercury, pulling a healing potion out her bags and extending it toward the mare. "Here, Mercury. Drink up."
15[04:22] * +Kirengo looks at Blastwave. "My blood was getting sucked."
07[04:23] * +Blastwave "I don't have blood, is that bad?" Humour to lighten the mood?
[04:24] <~Zeph|GM> 3Torch gets up and looks around, her gaze setting on Mercury as she trots over to the mare, saying, "I- ah- I have to go - I have to go check on Skyforge. I can't - I'm sorry - I can't stay..."
07[04:26] * +Mercury gives Fish a quick glance, but snaps back down when she catches a glimpse of blue sky. She takes the potion in a wing. “Thanks… I need to go down stairs.” She walks to the stairs and turns to Torch. "Please. We need to know how far this horror spreads."
15[04:27] * +Kirengo blinks. "I guess that would be why they didn't go for you as much." He turns his head to look at his ribs where the puncture holes had been. The potion had cleaned them right back up. The only sign of any fight left on his body was the scar on his right cheek crossing his three facial stripes.
07[04:27] * +Blastwave can clearly see a lot of clouds in the sky so isn't too to worried. "Your face..." he frowns. "Does it hurt?"
07[04:28] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer follows Clipped_Cantle and sits down, staring up at the sky lost in thought
[04:29] <~Zeph|GM> 3Torch nods and turns to the rest as she mutters a halfhearted goodbye, before putting her helmet on. Moments later, the flamer-mare takes to the clear sky, her trajectory aiming for the tower, a good while past Bucklyn cross.
04[04:29] * +Clipped_Cantle limps over to Kirengo and Blastwave. "You alright, Blast? I can't tell with that armor on..."
15[04:29] * +Kirengo blinks at Blastwave. He lifts a fetlock up to his cheek and rubs over the scar, wincing when he realizes the potion didn't fix it. "Not anymore..." Also Blast already took off his armor.
07[04:29] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer also set Moth and Ball down off to the side when she landed on the boat
[04:30] <+Clipped_Cantle> (fucking redact...)
[04:30] <~Zeph|GM> 3Fish hops back onto the deck with the rope in her mouth, hanging it on a hook designed for it and securing it, before heading to the wheelhouse.
04[04:30] * +Blastwave looks over at torch, "Seeya..." he mumbles and looks back at kiren seeing the scar. "Oh." He leans over and kisses the wound. "It's dashing." he chuckles
07[04:32] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer takes a moment to wave a wing goodbye to Torch
07[04:32] * +Clipped_Cantle limps over to Fish in the wheelhouse. "Well... we did it. No clue what's going on with the sky, but Bucklyn's safe... boat got a radio so we can... let them know, maybe?" She sighs and looks up. "Probably won't get through... but need to try..."
[04:34] <~Zeph|GM> 3Blastwave had seen some clouds far in the distance from their position, but remaining clouds, nonetheless.
15[04:34] * +Kirengo blinks and blushes at the kiss, then blinks again at Blastwave as he speaks. "Seriously?"
[04:35] <~Zeph|GM> 3Fish nods at Clipped_Cantle, her expression mixed, saying, "Alright, yeah, we has a radio 'ere." She points a hoof at the console next to the wheel, "Bucklyn's the current channel."
07[04:35] * +Blastwave nods, "Yes, all great heroes need single scars on their faces."
07[04:36] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer ponders to herself
15[04:36] * +Kirengo manages a small smirk, then looks up at the sky. "What the buck happened?"
07[04:36] * +Clipped_Cantle nods and moves over to try and hail the Bucklyn base on the radio.
07[04:37] * +Blastwave looks up and gulps, "I... don't know."
07[04:37] * +Blastwave points at the sun, "There, it's the sun."
07[04:37] * +Mercury walks down stairs and slumps.
15[04:37] * +Kirengo "Is it gonna stay like this?" He moves his head as Blastwave points to the sun then recoils. "Gah, that hurt."
07[04:38] * +Blastwave "Oh, yeah, it does that. Try to avoid that."
[04:38] <~Zeph|GM> 3The radio crackles and emits static.
[04:39] <~Zeph|GM> 3Alias is probably there, somewhere ...or something.
15[04:39] * +Kirengo looks down as he blinks his eyes back open and begins to see again. He looks around at the boat, the buildings, and everything he could see. "It's all so bright."
07[04:40] * +Blastwave looks around the brightly lit city, "This is the way it was before, the way it was supposed to be. Wait until you see a proper sunset."
04[04:40] * +Clipped_Cantle sighs. "Yeah, figured that's what would happen with the sky and all..." She leaves the wheelhouse and limps over to Kirengo and Blastwave.
15[04:41] * +Kirengo does a full 360. "Can't wait... I can't believe we're actually alive." He looks at Clipped_Cantle as she walks up. "Fix yourself already, dangit."
07[04:41] * +Moonlight`s_Shimmer moves over besides Clipped_Cantle and wraps a wing around her
07[04:42] * +Blastwave chuckles, "We did good..."
07[04:43] * +Clipped_Cantle sighs. "I will... just let me take care of you and Mercury. Then I'll worry about myself." She smiles a little. "Glad we got those bloodpack now, huh?"
15[04:44] * +Kirengo "For her, yeah. But don't waste one on me. I'm fine."
07[04:44] * +Blastwave "I'm good too, they didn't touch me. Ghouls do not make for good meals. Merc needs it though, and she needs company I think."
04[04:46] * +Clipped_Cantle frowns at Kirengo. "Come on... don't give me that. You had a ton of them on you... you expect me to believe they didn't feed on you at all?"
15[04:52] * +Kirengo shakes his head. "Just a little bit. But I'm fine. A little light-headed but I'll get over it."
04[04:54] * +Blastwave nuzzles Kirengo a little bit, "I'm glad you're okay... I was... worried.
04[04:54] * +Clipped_Cantle huffs at Kirengo. "Alright... fine... I guess you're right. We're short on bloodpacks for you anyway... save them for an emergency, I guess."
15[04:58] * +Kirengo "Yeah, exactly." He looks at Blastwave after the nuzzle. "I need to lay down somewhere."
07[04:59] * +Blastwave nods, "The hold will probably be empty, if you want."
15[05:00] * +Kirengo "Maybe drag a mattress in there..." He looks at Clipped_Cantle. "Are there free mattresses?"
[05:01] <~Zeph|GM> 3There's a total of 5 mattresses in the main room and the double-mattress in the captain's cabin.
04[05:02] * +Clipped_Cantle nods at Kirengo. "Uh... yeah. Set them up where you want and... maybe I can see about building your room when we get back to Bucklyn or something..."
15[05:02] * +Kirengo knows this. He's asking the medic if she can spare a mattress in her little operating room.
04[05:03] * +Blastwave nods, "Go down Kiren, I'll get the mattress
15[05:03] * +Kirengo nods at Clipped_Cantle. "Thanks." He looks at Blastwave for a moment. "Okay." He heads into the cargo hold and strips down.
07[05:04] * +Blastwave goes into the crew place, grabs a bed, and drags it into the hold
15[05:04] * +Kirengo proceeds to RP this scene out like tomorrow or something because 5 AM.
07[05:05] * +Blastwave does that too
07[05:05] * +Mercury looks up as Blastwave drgas the bed away, then back to the table where she is sitting.
