  1. [21:05] * Roy_Callbackanothertime is now known as Roy_Calbeck
  2. 01[21:07] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 ----------- STAR GROUP SESSION 39 BEGINNING ------------------
  3. 01[21:09] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 The Wasteland... home to many things... most of them unspeakable... horrid acts of depravity, cruelty, callousness... usually resulting in bloodshed...
  4. 01[21:10] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Just kidding... Last we left off, our bedraggled band was under attack! Being assaulted under the cover of night by unknown assailants speaking in a foreign langauge that none in the party understood. We return now to see what will be the result of the uncoming ambush... will our group survive?
  5. 07[21:17] * SilentBrony|GM sets mode: +v Dust_Off
  6. 07[21:17] * SilentBrony|GM sets mode: +v Roy_Calbeck
  7. 07[21:17] * SilentBrony|GM sets mode: +v Sagittis
  8. 07[21:17] * SilentBrony|GM sets mode: +v Slag_Heap
  9. 07[21:17] * SilentBrony|GM sets mode: +v Sour_Grape
  10. 01[21:22] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Bright flashes of muzzle flash can be seen off to the sides of the party, lighting up equine forms holding various firearms, followed by the cracking of their weapons, six shots total from the three figures that can be visibily seen. Two shots strike home true, catching Sagittis off-guard and embedding itself into his chest, followed by a second wound, causing much pain to be felt. A third round flies missing Sour_Grape, causing even the not as currently perceptive filly to instinctively anticipate the fourth round, that does happen to nail her in the chest as well. The other shots whizz by harmlessly by the party, causing all to be alert at this point.
  11. 06[21:23] * +Roy_Calbeck rears as bullets whistle around the group, turning to face the nearest muzzle flashes!
  12. 06[21:24] * +Slag_Heap steels himself for the coming battle.
  13. 06[21:27] * +Sour_Grape cracks her neck, "My turn." she takes out the drum of her riot shotgun, slams in one filled with Flchete rounds and chagres the pony who opened his big mouth. SHe stops and fires two bursts into the pony, which should teach him a lesson
  14. 06[21:29] * +Dust_Off looks around, trying to see where they are around her.
  15. 01[21:36] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Swaping out her ammunition type deftly, as the little filly of death rushes up to her intended target, Sour_Grape unleashes a hailstorm of flechetted death that rips goreish chunks into the pony speaking threateningly to the group, even with his armored garb, blood splatters and cakes the pegasus over her face as well as the surrounded vicinity from the impact, causing the equine to jerk and let out loud agonized whinnies of pain, that drown off to gurgling... the figure flying backwards in a lifeless heap.
  16. 01[21:42] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Growling, Manyoya rushes one of the hidden figures behind an outcropping of rock, latching up and ferociously going for the throat of the pony, causing it to let out a terrified whinnying of pain, as the dog successfully sinks it's teeth into it's victim and clamps down. Attemtping to get the vicious canine off, the pony being attacked manages to successfully force off the dog with brute strength, causing further damage in the process, making the clearly stallion voiced figure to let out a slew of expletives.
  17. 01[21:46] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Taking further advantage of their situation, the aggressors that are not being assaulted by angry dogs fire off their rounds. One stallion figure shooting his weapon only hears a clicking sound, his weapon never going off at all, causing him to scream out in frustration, "Piece of shit!" the other fires off his weapon however, his first round successfully hitting Sagittis in the chest again, the other flying by and missing him completely. The equine being assaulted by Manyoya, rushes back somewhat, losing his cover to fire at the dog, but missing hilariously in the process.
  18. 06[21:55] * +Sagittis homes in on the foe out of cover and hoses them with 5mm fire before pulling out a smoke bomb and slamming it into the ground at his hooves. "Get to cover or pop smoke!"
  19. 01[22:00] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Unleashing his own hailstorm of lead that showers the equine that ran out of cover from their newly aquired dog's attacks, five out of the eight shots land true in mainly the torso of Sagittis' target, causing the figure to recoil violently, then fall over in a bloodied heap, as the flufflecolt retreats to the shadows.
  20. [22:02] <+Sagittis> The billowy, smoky shadows.
  21. 06[22:06] * +Dust_Off glances on either side and sees the enemies on either side. The mare flaps her wings forward very hard for a burst of speed and then slews around hard. With a thundering K'CHOW, she firm flanks smash against the light barrier creating a bright flash. The mare uses the turn to target one pony and then continues around to fire on the other.
  22. 06[22:07] * +Roy_Calbeck gives an appreciative whistle at the display, momentarily forgetting his place in the action.
  23. 01[22:15] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Unleashing a fantastic filly flash from her glorious flanks, Dust_Off temporarly lights up the area bright as day, clearly showing the two ponies on either sides as both earth pony stallions, in deep wrappings with hoofball clothing. Following up her luminous display with two equally bright flashy red beams of death that nail one of the stallions in his left hindleg, the other square in his body, illciting them both to make similar sounds of angry hissing of pain. One furiously trying to unjam his weapon.
  24. 06[22:19] * +Slag_Heap swivels his battle saddle to the one not try to unjam his gun and lets rip with a burst from his LMG.
  25. 01[22:22] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Try as he might, the cyberstallion fires off a burst of 5.56 rounds at one of the aggressors taking cover behind a large outcropping of rock, missing completely as the recoil, combined with the cover defeats Slag_Heap's attempts to shoot his target.
  26. 06[22:25] * +Roy_Calbeck turns to support Slag, not concerned at the moment with the jammed-weapon pony. Sighting in carefully, he unloads three solid bursts from his service rifle at the same buck.
  27. 01[22:40] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Letting loose a glorious display of light of his own... primarily through the flashing of his rifle, Roy_Calbeck lets loose a nasty barrage of lead of which nearly every round strikes true on the pony who had an operating firearm. Save for the one shot that misses entirely, most shots manage to pelt the pony in either the upper forelegs or chest, with one particular round impacting directly into the head itself. Even though he was wearing armor around his body, the helmet isn't strong enough to completely absorb the hollow point rounds that causes him to jerk spastically then collapse to the ground twitching.
  28. 06[22:42] * +Dust_Off looks down at Roy with a surprised expression, "Woah, Gunny! Keep that up!"
  29. 06[22:42] * +Sour_Grape jumps into the air and flies over to the final enemy. With grim determination she fires a series of shotgun blasts into the bitch-face, because seriously fuck that guy.
  30. 06[22:45] * +Slag_Heap blinks as Roy_Calbeck kills the stallion. "...supression fire. Totally what I did. Yup."
  31. 06[22:46] * +Roy_Calbeck squints into the distance. "Fucker had heavier armor on than I thought. Gonna need standard ball ammo t'deal with these guys in future."
  32. 03[22:48] * ErrantIndy ([email protected]) has joined #FalloutEquestriaPNP
  33. 07[22:48] * SilentBrony|GM sets mode: +v ErrantIndy
  34. 01[22:49] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Flying up and over the covered ponies covering rock, the deadly pegasus filly unleashes another torrential hellfire of flechettes, once more, ripping huge chunks of flesh even with the buck's armor, causing him to jerk and rock hard from the impact, the last blow causing him to fall back in a heavy, wet thudding against the ground, completely lifeless.
  35. 06[22:50] * +Sour_Grape lands on his corpse and kicks it in the face, "
  36. [22:50] <+Sour_Grape> "Are ya dead yet motherfucker?"
  37. 06[22:50] * +Roy_Calbeck looks around to make sure that was all of them.
  38. 06[22:51] * +Slag_Heap looks around and lights his cigar. "That was almost too easy. Everypony alright?"
  39. 01[22:51] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 The head goes to the side from the impact of the kicking, blood pooling infront of him, but no other sounds or reactions are a result of Sour_Grape's actions.
  40. [22:51] <+ErrantIndy> Dust_Off glances around. "Sagittis, do you have a flare?"
  41. 02[22:52] * +Dust_Off ([email protected]) Quit (Quit: When geologists start playing the "floor is lava" game, it's time to pay attention.)
  42. 06[22:52] * +Sour_Grape glares at the dead guy, "Yea... ah think he's dead." She flies into the air and over to Dust_Off, "Them cunts were bad shots."
  43. 12[22:52] * ErrantIndy is now known as Dust_Off
  44. 07[22:52] * ChanServ sets mode: -v Dust_Off
  45. 06[22:52] * +Roy_Calbeck nods at Slag. "We got lucky. One weapon jam, and a lot of missed fire in that fusillade. Against better shots, we'd've been worse off. As it is, I think Sagi caught a hoof-ful of lead..."
  46. 07[22:52] * SilentBrony|GM sets mode: +v Dust_Off
  47. 06[22:53] * +Sagittis slinks back out, wincing at the three shots to his chest. "Good.. nng.. work."
  48. 06[22:53] * +Sour_Grape looks over at Sagittis, "Er, ya alright? Dust ya should make sure he ain't breathin' blud er nothin'"
  49. 06[22:53] * +Roy_Calbeck looks over. "Dust_Off, you need a hoof with Sagi there? Otherwise I'm gonna police up th' bodies."
  50. 01[22:53] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Manyoya rushes back to the group still on the trail, making a beeline straight to Sagittis and trying to jump on the zebra colt in an attempt to lick his face.
  51. 06[22:54] * +Dust_Off looks down with surprise. "Sagittis?' She glides down to check the colt over. "Gunny, did you take a hit?"
  52. 06[22:54] * +Slag_Heap nods at Roy_Calbeck. "I'll help ya out."
  53. 06[22:54] * +Roy_Calbeck points a hoof. "I'm good, th' colt took a few rounds."
  54. 06[22:55] * +Dust_Off nods as she examines. "Police the bodies and make sure there aren't anymore of them."
  55. 06[22:55] * +Slag_Heap "I meant wiht the bodies. I'm sure Dusty's got Sag covered."
  56. 06[22:56] * +Sour_Grape "Right, ah'ma go loot." She trots over to the bodies and whistles to herself as she strips any valuables off the corpses
  57. 06[22:57] * +Sagittis hisses from the dog jumps, but pets the hound back. He looks over to Dust_Off. "Took three to the chest. Hurts like a kikembwa."
  58. 06[22:58] * +Dust_Off chuckles, "Kikembwa?"
  59. 06[22:58] * +Roy_Calbeck heads out, his horn still lit, to patrol the perimeter and loot the corpses as he goes. Looks like a three-way between him, Slag and Sour!
  60. 06[22:58] * +Sagittis shakes his head. "Sorry, bitch."
  61. 06[22:59] * +Sagittis blinks and looks up to Dust_Off. "Not calling you a bitch, kikembwa means bitch."
  62. 06[23:00] * +Dust_Off laughs, "I understand."
  63. 06[23:00] * +Sour_Grape looks over at Sagittis, "Ya better nawt call Dust a bitch, bitch."
  64. 06[23:01] * +Sagittis smirks at Sour_Grape. "Naw. That honor is saved for you, and sometimes Slag."
  65. 01[23:01] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Looting the remains of the fallen equines... Sour_Grape distinctly sees the bloodied emblem of the N.P.L. under the garbing of one of them... the rest having identical marks on the same places of their armors which are... riddled with their various bullet-holes, two of which with magical scorch marks. Amongst them, the filly manages to loot a combined 11 strange large Legion Bits, Forty-Seven 5.56 rounds and Eight .357 rounds. Two of the bodies yielding Varmint rifles at around average condition, with one having a .357 repeater, still jammed. The little filly also manages to find a small note on the body with the .357 rifle, as well as strange satchels on each corpse, lightweight in mass. They also carry each a bottle of purified water, and package of pre-war food.
  66. 01[23:02] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Dust_Off notes that thanks to Sagittis' sturdy armor, that none of the bullets that managed to penetrate were deep enough to threaten the colt's life.
  67. 06[23:04] * +Roy_Calbeck , seeing that Sour has the 'requisitioning' under control, conducts a more thorough sweep of the area.
  68. 06[23:04] * +Dust_Off snickers, "Grape, calm down." She gets out her foreceps and begins extracting the the rounds. She gets the rounds out and examines them, "Good, just full metal jackets," She bandages the wounds up, "You're also lucky that the legionnaire had good shot grouping. I don't have to mummify you." She administers a health potion to the colt.
  69. 01[23:05] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Sour_Grape found on the pony she shot on the road that he was carrying a machete as well as five throwing knives.
  70. 06[23:06] * +Sour_Grape takes all the equipment and puts it in a pile, but takes the legion bits for herself, "Buncha stuff here." She walks over to Dust_Off and hoofs her the note, "Here you go,"
  71. 06[23:07] * +Slag_Heap sweeps with Roy_Calbeck. "Nice shooting, Roy." he says.
  72. 06[23:08] * +Roy_Calbeck eventually heads on over, pawing through the loot, taking all the 5.56mm. "Thanks. Hey, anypony else around here use five-fifty-six ammo?"
  73. 06[23:08] * +Dust_Off looks at the note while observing to make sure Sagittis didn't suddenly spring a leak.
  74. 06[23:09] * +Slag_Heap nods. "I do."
  75. 06[23:09] * +Roy_Calbeck takes only nine rounds, then, and examines one of the satchels while he's at it.
  76. 06[23:09] * +Slag_Heap takes them
  77. 06[23:10] * +Sour_Grape actually, she also takes the throwing knives, because they're pointy and awesome
  78. 06[23:12] * +Sagittis looks himself over. "Thanks. That..." he twists his face a little. Potions or not, bullets hurt. "That's better." He scoops up the dog and puts it on his back. "Good dog. Biting the legionary like that." He looks down at the pile of stuff from Sour_Grape. "Ooooh, faction armor. Think this would fit Slag?"
  79. 01[23:12] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 The satchel looks odd to Roy_Calbeck... he can't tell exactly what's inside other than there's a small yellowish powder that... irritates his nose.
  80. 06[23:12] * +Roy_Calbeck shakes his muzzle, then looks to Sagi. "Got somethin' chemical here fer ya."
  81. 01[23:13] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Manyoya yips happily to Sagittis praise, wagging his tail and letting his tongue loll out, as it pants.
  82. 06[23:13] * +Sour_Grape shugs, "Ah dunno, we could squeeze him in." She looks over at Sagittis back and eyes the dog, "Ah don't like ya, but ya did good. Keep doin' that an ah wont eat ya."
  83. 06[23:13] * +Dust_Off nods to Sagittis, "I'm glad you're okay. She reaches over and pats Manny on the head. "Good dog." She glances over at Roy_Calbeck, "What sort of chemical?"
  84. 01[23:13] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Manyoya turns his head to face Sour_Grape tilting it while giving out what seems like a confused whining.
  85. 06[23:14] * +Slag_Heap looks at the armour. "I dunno... don't want to be confused for a Legionnaire...
  86. 06[23:14] * +Sagittis waves Roy_Calbeck over. "Let me see."
  87. 01[23:14] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 The dog then yips happily, licking Dust_Off's hoof when she pets him... or whatever limb she uses.
  88. 06[23:14] * +Sagittis blinks at Slag_Heap and bursts out laughing.
  89. 06[23:15] * +Dust_Off uses a hoof. Pervert.
  90. [23:15] <+Sagittis> Wings are softer
  91. 01[23:15] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 What else would Dust_Off use other than a hoof or wing? Weirdo.
  92. 06[23:15] * +Slag_Heap looks at Sagittis. "What?"
  93. 06[23:16] * +Roy_Calbeck brings a satchel over.
  94. 06[23:16] * +Dust_Off looks at the chemical trying to see if her academy chemistry classes amounted to anything.
  95. 06[23:17] * +Roy_Calbeck heads back over to the pile, securing the water and food.
  96. 06[23:17] * +Sagittis keeps chuckling. "I would think with how tall you are, it would be harder for things to sail over your head." He joins Dust_Off in looking at the powder, likely causing them both to be kinda squishy faced.
  97. 01[23:17] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Dust_Off isn't entirely sure herself exactly this powder was... it... though it did remind her as one of the ingrediants prevalent with healing potions...
  98. 06[23:18] * +Slag_Heap huffs with amusement. "My mane did."
  99. 01[23:18] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Sagittis notes distinctly that these are a type of healing powder... similar to Healing salves... though different... he's not entirely sure what the effects would be the result, but he has a good guess that it would be restorative in nature.
  100. 06[23:20] * +Dust_Off didn't pay attention in chemistry. "Is that a healing compound?"
  101. 06[23:20] * +Roy_Calbeck waits to see if anypony wants any of the rest of the seized kit.
  102. 06[23:20] * +Sagittis blinks and scrunches up his nose at the dust. "Healing powder. The stuff is total crap. Fodder to teach amateurs how to make something useful."
  103. 06[23:21] * +Dust_Off glances at Sagittis, "Can you make anything from it?"
  104. 06[23:21] * +Sour_Grape "Healin' magic, shite?"
  105. 06[23:22] * +Sagittis shakes his head. "Nope. Herbs have been processed into industrial, watered down medical garbage." He shrugs. "Well, I suppose it is better for an army if you can't farm herbs, but I wouldn't give it to our brahmin, let alone a fighter."
  106. 01[23:22] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Manyoya paces about on Sagittis, snuffling his back, his wet nose probably couldn't be felt thanks to the colt's armor.
  107. 06[23:24] * +Dust_Off nods, "We'll sell it in Mercy. They could use it." She looks at the other loot. "Let's gather that up to sell, if anyone doesn't need it." She goes back to try to read the note Sour_Grape had hoofed her.
  108. 06[23:26] * +Roy_Calbeck looks over the remnants. "Don't think we can sell the armor, but the rifles'll fetch some cash."
  109. 06[23:27] * +Sagittis looks over to Slag_Heap. "And, if you recall, we had a whole intelligence gathering plan that revolved around you looking like a Legionary. That does tend to be the point of stealing faction armor. It is why I tagged the Sugar gear."
  110. 06[23:28] * +Dust_Off frowns, "I'm still not wild about the idea. I think it's just going to get the infiltrator."
  111. 06[23:29] * +Slag_Heap nods. "Right right. Sorry."
  112. 06[23:29] * +Sour_Grape "Well options are fun'n shit."
  113. 06[23:29] * +Roy_Calbeck nods. "And I already have a set we can let out fer Slag t'wear, if we go with that."
  114. 01[23:32] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Dust_Off reads off of the note, "Deacnus Umbra Bellator, we have lost contact with our forward camp near Dune. Our sources within the city itself have confirmed reports of the profligate band known as, 'The Mareizona Irregulars' that they are actively setting back our efforts in the city, aiding Guava Juice. Hunt them down and spare nopony... or zebra. Their group consists of One bald earth pony stallion, a white unicorn stallion, a green Earth pony mare, a lavender earth pony filly, and a zebra colt. By order of the Pony chancellor himself, it is been deemed that their threat must be eliminated by any means possible. Victoriam contra adversa. -Praetorian Humilitas"
  115. 06[23:33] * +Dust_Off frowns at the note. "Those bastards think I'm an earthy pony!" She growls, incensed...then stops, looking at Slag_Heap, "No offense..."
  116. 06[23:34] * +Sour_Grape gasps, "How horrible, look at all the fucks i give."
  117. 06[23:34] * +Slag_Heap looks over at Dust_Off. "Hey, if I had wings, i'd be just as offended as you are."
  118. 06[23:36] * +Roy_Calbeck arches an eyebrow.
  119. 06[23:36] * +Dust_Off looks at Sour_Grape, "they say you're an earth pony too."
  120. 06[23:37] * +Roy_Calbeck looks at Slag. "You wanna get th' rifles?"
  121. 06[23:37] * +Slag_Heap picks them up and walks back. "Sure."
  122. 06[23:37] * +Sour_Grape shrugs, "GOod, means they wont be expectin' me."
  123. [23:37] <+Roy_Calbeck> "Thanks. Guess I can actually use this three-fifty-seven, too."
  124. [23:37] <+Roy_Calbeck> "Ammo, that is."
  125. 06[23:38] * +Roy_Calbeck turns to salute Dust_Off. "Kit secured an' area patrolled, ma'am. We're all clear."
  126. 06[23:39] * +Sagittis nods to Sour_Grape. "Yeah. If they don't know we have flyers, we are ready for one more dimension of a battlefield than they are."
  127. 01[23:39] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Manyoya looks about after snuffling Sagittis, giving out a yawn that's silent at first, then squeaks at the end.
  128. 06[23:39] * +Dust_Off frowns at Sour_Grape, "It also says you can't shoot worth anything." she looks at the others. "These were Legion assassins, sent after us. Good news, they attribute our actions with Dune...bad news we have assassins."
  129. 06[23:40] * +Slag_Heap smirks. "THESE were assassins? Shit, I thought they were new recruits..."
  130. 06[23:41] * +Sour_Grape snorts at Dust_Off, "Well then ah'm gunna have ta prove tha fuckers wrong."
  131. 06[23:44] * +Dust_Off rolls her eyes at Slag_Heap and Sour_Grape, "Grab their gear and let's go. I bet we could sell their armor. Mercy could break it down for parts.
  132. [23:44] <+Dust_Off> *"
  133. 06[23:45] * +Roy_Calbeck nods. "Yes, ma'am."
  134. 06[23:46] * +Sagittis pets the pup with his tail. "Mind if we have this chat in a building near by? I would hate to be out in the open if they have snipers near by. Moving the bodies may be useful too... Hell, I could use 'em as bate for hunting."
  135. 06[23:46] * +Sour_Grape looks at Slag, "You get it, i'm small."
  136. 06[23:47] * +Dust_Off shakes her head. "Let's not waste time. Anyways Howti (?) is near. Let's get there, get rooms, and then discuss in one of them."
  137. 06[23:50] * +Roy_Calbeck nods again, looks around to make sure everything's been accounted for, and moves out.
  138. 06[23:50] * +Roy_Calbeck also reloads with ball ammo, while he's got the moment.
  139. 06[23:51] * +Sagittis takes a few moments to stash the bodies in a near by building or dumpster and follows.
  140. 03[23:53] * TenMihara ([email protected]) has joined #FalloutEquestriaPNP
  141. 07[23:53] * ChanServ sets mode: +o TenMihara
  142. 01[23:53] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 The party had moved hours away from the Hellfire City ruins. There are the outcroppings of the rocks for Sagittis to deposit the bodies upon if he so desired to do so.
  143. 06[23:55] * +Sagittis does so in a crag and takes note to come back and hunt the predators that would likely eat them.
  144. 06[23:55] * +Sagittis also does Dust_Off's meta suggestion, making it look like they took a bit of a tumble... onto bullets.
  145. 01[23:56] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 The perfect crime... nopony will suspect a thing...
  146. 06[23:59] * +Dust_Off nods at the colt's actions, "Clever, Sagittis. The legion will never suspect we were here. they'll be ashamed that their elite agents died speed trotting...naked." She turns to head back down the road to Howti.
  147. 06[23:59] * +Sour_Grape folloes after Dust_Off, "If they can even tell they were legion what with all their stuff gone."
  148. Session Time: Fri Mar 01 00:00:00 2013
  149. 06[00:00] * +Sagittis shrugs. "They are off the path at least."
  150. 06[00:00] * +Roy_Calbeck takes point, once again, his horn lighting the way.
  151. 06[00:01] * +Dust_Off shrugs, "I would think they'd know there own...though you all blew most of their faces off..."
  152. 06[00:03] * +Roy_Calbeck looks over his shoulder, grinning. "Sorry 'bout that."
  153. 01[00:06] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 The group, victorious over their debut with Legionary assassins (but none of them were donkeys) continue their trek towards Mercy, getting closer to the mountain expanse that was coming up, as they followed the broken, nearly disintegrated asphalt road. At a certain point, they notice the road is asphalt is starting to form noticably again, another sign, this time post-war in construction as it was made of various bits of scrap, has large black paint on it that is... well... so far too difficult to read thanks to it being night time... The party will have to get closer... and two will actually need to learn how to read in order to discern the Equestrian letters upon it. Strangely... not too far off, close to the base of the expanse of mountains, to which looks more like a valley, they can see faint lights in the distance.
  154. 06[00:06] * +Sour_Grape thinks reading is for eggheads
  155. 01[00:07] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Sour_Grape may find out that she /is/ a closet egg-head.
  156. 06[00:07] * +Dust_Off trots beside Roy_Calbeck, letting them get closer to read.
  157. 06[00:08] * +Roy_Calbeck looks off towards the lights. "Wonder what that place is."
  158. 06[00:09] * +Sagittis slinks around like the sneaky bastard he is.
  159. 01[00:09] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 The sign reads on it, "Welcome to Howti. Ghouls and Rangers unwelcomed. " in fineprint below reads, "All weapons MUST be holstered."
  160. 06[00:10] * +Slag_Heap walks behind the group, with his cigar lit. "How do I holster a saddle?"
  161. 06[00:13] * +Dust_Off slings her rifle over her back. "Dismount it, Slag."
  162. 06[00:15] * +Slag_Heap rolls his eyes. "Really? Can't I get away with disengaging my trigger bit?"
  163. 06[00:15] * +Roy_Calbeck looks at the long flamethrower barrel and shroud. "I'd LIKE t'see a holster fer that thing..."
  164. 01[00:15] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Inspecting the sign, Slag_Heap decides to check out the back of it... to... his... curiosity and... confusion... it has the diagram of some strange pony with his hooves and snout over a line...possibly representing a wall, that reads, 'Killjoy was here.' Also below it, in marker, reads, 'Giggles rulez!'
  165. 06[00:17] * +Dust_Off looks at the Slag_Heap, "I'd fear it'd go off somehow or you'd have a secondary trigger system. Just dismount it."
  166. 06[00:17] * +Slag_Heap looks at the picture. "Well well well, we meet again, Killjoy." He looks at the other writing. "And... Giggles..."
  167. 06[00:17] * +Slag_Heap grunts and starts the process of dismounting his saddle.
  168. 06[00:18] * +Roy_Calbeck goes "Huh?" and looks at Slag. "Who's Killjoy?"
  169. 06[00:18] * +Dust_Off looks at the sign and squints. "Another Killjoy? That rascal's been everywhere. Saw his graffiti on a cloud in Winghampton."
  170. 01[00:18] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Manyoya looks towards Howti and begins to let out a series of small whining... as if it were anxious.
  171. 06[00:19] * +Slag_Heap nods at Dust_Off. "What she said. Killjoy's kinda everywhere all over the wastes. But in reality, that's what soldiers before the end of the world did wherever they went."
  172. 06[00:19] * +Roy_Calbeck looks to the dog, then towards town. "If he's got a bad feelin' about this, I'VE got a bad feelin' about this."
  173. 06[00:19] * +Sour_Grape "If the dog doesn't like it, its prolly good."
  174. 06[00:21] * +Sagittis mumbles from somewhere in the darkness. "I don't want to take my guns off. Not in a war zone and not if it makes the dog nervous. Last time he got nervous, we were ambushed."
  175. 06[00:22] * +Dust_Off sighs. "I meant, dismount your guns when we GOT to town.
  176. [00:22] <+Dust_Off> *"
  177. 01[00:22] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Manyoya noses the back of Sagittis' head then looks to the settlement once more, letting out more whining, as it paces about on the flufflecolt's back.
  178. 01[00:23] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 That's why Slag_Heap has a 4 INT score.
  179. 06[00:23] * +Roy_Calbeck takes a whiff at the air. "Bet he's smellin' somethin'..."
  180. 01[00:23] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Or that could be Sour_Grape... phew!
  181. 06[00:24] * +Slag_Heap stops dismounting his guns and puts them back on.
  182. 06[00:24] * +Slag_Heap IS TEH SMRT
  183. 06[00:25] * +Dust_Off unslings her MRR. "Roy, can you fire an orb of magical light out?"
  184. 06[00:26] * +Roy_Calbeck shakes his head. "That's illusion magic, never got into it."
  185. 06[00:27] * +Sagittis gently takes the dog off his back and sets him by Dust_Off. "Would you mind seeing to him till we have this scoped out? I can't really sneak with him... Oh, and Sour," He holds out a smoke bomb for her. "For the next time you want to charge up close."
  186. 06[00:27] * +Dust_Off stands over Manny protectively. "Alright, Sagittis, I've got him."
  187. 02[00:28] * Karina ([email protected]) Quit (Quit: )
  188. 06[00:28] * +Sour_Grape takes the smoke bomb, "Eh, alright."
  189. 12[00:28] * Dust_Off is now known as Dust_Bride
  190. 06[00:28] * +Slag_Heap has his guns back on.
  191. 01[00:28] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Manyoya yips out a couple of times, then whines some more, looking up to Dust_Off.
  192. 06[00:28] * +Roy_Calbeck smiles at Sour. "Now you can smoke yer enemies before ya smoke 'em."
  193. 06[00:28] * +Dust_Bride shushes Manyoya.
  194. 01[00:29] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Tucking his tail under his body and flattening his ears, the puppy dog gives out a small light whimpering, then looks towards the ground.
  195. 06[00:29] * +Roy_Calbeck looks at the ground too.
  196. 01[00:30] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 The ground is just... not that interesting to look at... not even the cracked ancient asphalt of pre-war design doesn't look entirely enticing.
  197. 06[00:32] * +Sagittis slips back into stealth, taking 50 meter arcs around the party as they move to sweep for ambushes or anything tricky.
  198. [00:32] <+Roy_Calbeck> "Hm. No mines. That's a good thing."
  199. 06[00:32] * +Roy_Calbeck moves out towards Howti.
  200. 06[00:33] * +Dust_Bride looks around, staying safely with the pup. "Gunny, remember the last time you found mines?"
  201. 06[00:33] * +Sour_Grape "Last time when we blew up that street?"
  202. [00:33] <+Dust_Bride> "Exactly."
  203. [00:39] <+Roy_Calbeck> "Like I said. Not findin' 'em's a good thing."
  204. 01[00:39] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 I remember... heh heh heh heh heh.... making their way to Howti, Sagittis slips into the cover of darkness, his trusty suit fitted to be quite protective at no detriment to comfort... allowing him to slink with ease. And it was kind of stylish in a... Tron-esque fashion as well... just give the flufflcolt a power disc. Errr... Manyoya follows along near Dusty, as they finally come within view of the settlement... noticing that it was another Pre-War ruin... a small town it would seem... with a large scrap wall with a single cyclindrical tower... looking like an ancient water tower, repurposed to house ponies instead of liquid, as one could be seen with a large unlit spotlight in a cut out section of the side facing the party, a thin metallic sheet propped open with something. At the gate was a floating robot... one of those strange multi-limbed one with a buzzsaw and a limb with a strange glowing green steel and glass casing. Lit up brightly by series of street poles by some means, the party can see that the hovering robot is painted Green with a very faded white Sun on the side, reading, 'Equestrian Mechanical Corps.'
  205. 06[00:40] * +Sour_Grape "This places looks well set."
  206. 12[00:40] * Dust_Bride is now known as Dust_Off
  207. 01[00:40] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Manyoya, at the sight of the mechanical hovering robot, gives a frightening whining, hiding behind one of Dust_Off's legs.
  208. 06[00:41] * +Roy_Calbeck nods. "Mercy's s'posed'ta be a major tech settlement."
  209. 01[00:42] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 The robot seems to take notice of the whining, as it turns to face the group, speaking out in a robotic, but a slightly deep stalliony voice, "HALT. PRESENT YOURSELF IN A NON-THREATENING FASHION, OR YOU WILL BE LIQUIFIED."
  210. 06[00:42] * +Slag_Heap folds his triggar assembly down.
  211. 06[00:43] * +Dust_Off shakes her head. "Not tech, weapons. Who knows what this one is." she looks down to Manyoya and shushes him, petting his back. "It's just a Mister Gutsy. It's probably not insane and malfunctioning since it's in a town." She stops as ordered, slinging her rifle over her back.
  212. 06[00:43] * +Sour_Grape walks over to the robot, "Sup, We're the Mareizona Irregulars, you may have heard of us from the radio."
  213. [00:45] <+Dust_Off> "Grape, I doubt it's an avid radio listener..."
  214. 06[00:45] * +Roy_Calbeck makes sure all his weapons are stowed.
  215. 01[00:45] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 The hovering Robot extends one of it's... what one would assume as a lit yellow mechanical eye, extending itself close near Sour_Grape's face, overlooking the filly. It then looks up past her to the rest of the party, minus Sagittis, and speaks once more in the same tone, "MARE-IZONA IRREGULARS NOT IDENTIFIED AS A LEGITIMATE ORGANIZATION." A mare's voice from the water tower calls out in a loud tone, "Who's that stumblin 'round in the dark?! State yer business or prepared ta get winged!"
  216. 06[00:45] * +Slag_Heap starts to pull his saddle off.
  217. 06[00:46] * +Roy_Calbeck calls up. "Yo! Travelers bound fer Mercy! Can we buy a room fer th' night?"
  218. 06[00:46] * +Sour_Grape looks up at the water tower, "We're the Mareizona Irregulars, tha mercenary groups what helps ponies an shit. We're lookin' fer a place ta stay."
  219. 03[00:50] * Errant ([email protected]) has joined #FalloutEquestriaPNP
  220. 07[00:50] * SilentBrony|GM sets mode: +v Errant
  221. 01[00:54] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 The mare shouts out in response to Sour_Grape, "Ain't heard of em! Not sure exactly what you mean by helping, hang tight while we make sure you're not unwelcomed. The gate then can be seen and audibly heard hissing while opening. A series of hydraulics pushes the heavy metal doors open in a fairly loud screeching... the group notes that it's quite literally a metropolition carraige bus... or buses... repurposed as a makeshift door... Once slid open, two other protectaponies shamble forward, each flanking another mare, a unicorn one, wearing an armored mix of leather and metal... underneath the armor, splotches of a blue jumpsuit with heavily faded yellow striped paint can be seen, carrying a large heavily modified Plasma rifle... the most prominent modification being the barrel having an accelerator on it... to Dust_Off's fascination the tesla coils glow in a unique oscilating pattern in reverse...
  222. 02[00:56] * +Dust_Off ([email protected]) Quit (Quit: http://www.mibbit.com ajax IRC Client)
  223. 06[00:56] * +Slag_Heap "Neat."
  224. 06[00:56] * +Sour_Grape groans and stands still tapping her hoof inpatiently
  225. 01[00:57] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 The unicorn mare, terracota coated, with long puffy purple hair surveys the group with a rather discerning expression, speaking out authoriatively to the hovering machine ahead of her, "Gatekeeper, check for Ranger affiliation." With the machine complying. Reaching out with metallic claw it goes to pull back the cloak of Sour_Grape first, it's buzzsaw and glowing weapon trained as it speaks, "DO NOT MAKE ANY SUDDEN MOVEMENTS."
  226. 12[00:57] * Errant is now known as Dust_Off
  227. 06[00:59] * +Dust_Off eyes the robot and then the mare seemingly in charge.
  228. 06[01:00] * +Sour_Grape "If this hunk of metal fucking touches me with that thing it's going to be in so many peices ya couldn't sell it as scrap metal."
  229. 01[01:01] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 The mare frowns and replies to Sour_Grape, "It's mandatory. You don't like it, shove off somewhere else." The hovering machine halts it's claw, close to touching the filly.
  230. 06[01:02] * +Sagittis takes careful aim at the robot from his hiding spot, just in case.
  231. [01:02] <+Dust_Off> "Do Rangers come with convenient barcodes for easy identification?" The mare looks doubtfully at the howti mare.
  232. 06[01:03] * +Roy_Calbeck nods at Sour_Grape. "We can always give 'em a rain check on th' disembowelment parts."
  233. 06[01:03] * +Sour_Grape glares at the machine, "Not a matter a like er not, it just better not touch me."
  234. 06[01:05] * +Roy_Calbeck looks to the unicorn. "One thing we're not is Rangers or their affiliates."
  235. 01[01:05] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 The Terracota mare turns to Dust_Off and replies, "They think they're crafty, but we're not stupid. You're disarmed so far, if you're not working for them, then there's no reason for you guys to be so adverse to our inspections." Turning back to Sour_Grape the mare replies rather harshly, "And I don't like potential spies, if you can't comply to our demands, then you're not welcomed in Howti."
  236. 06[01:06] * +Sour_Grape "I'm fucking complying, ah just don't like it."
  237. 01[01:08] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 The mare shoots back, "Then if you as much as spit on our machine, we'll turn your entire group into goo, so sit still and shut up." The machine finally pulls back the cloak on Sour_Grape, revealing her wings, which it glances over, simply speaking out, "PEGASUS. FILLY. RANGER PROBABILITY. 5 PERCENT." it then goes to open her bags, in an attempt to visually scan her contents.
  238. 06[01:08] * +Dust_Off takes off her armored cloak, showing off her wings, "We have reason to be adverse to unreasonable searches. By what rubric are you judging Rangers? Tattoos? Membership IDs?" She looks at the machine, "Race and age apparently."
  239. 06[01:09] * +Sour_Grape "Ya know the rangers don't take pegasi right? Five percent's too high. Can we come in now?"
  240. 01[01:11] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 The hovering machine finishes it's inspection on Sour_Grape, going on to the rest of the group that can be seen. The terracota mare replies to Dust_Off, "Don't worry about our search protocols, they're none of your concern. Now state your intent in Howti." The group can see another two ponies marching out, both armed with Magical recharging rifles, each a unicorn themselves wearing similar armor of leather and metal.
  241. 06[01:12] * +Dust_Off sighs, "We want to rest the night in an inn and then travel on to Mercy, perhaps do some trade."
  242. 06[01:12] * +Sour_Grape "We were hoping to sell goods, spend some of our incredible wealth, and partake in your services. Unless ya'll don't like caps."
  243. 06[01:16] * +Sagittis takes note of the new unicorns and wishes he had the missile launcher with his minigun rather than the Rock-it-launcher.
  244. 01[01:16] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 The mare in the water tower shouts out below, "Yo Cap'n! They called themselves the uhh... Mareizona Irregulars I think... that mean anything to you?" The terracota mare blinks and looks up to the water tower speaking out, "The.. wh--- are you serious?" Blinking and relaxing her face, she turns and asks out, "You... guys are the Irregulars?" Looking from Dust_Off to Sour_Grape the mare nods slowly and says, "Well damn... then allow me to apologize. My name is Data Byte. I'm the Night Captain for Howti's militia. I've heard something about your group... you... stopped the Legion from taking over Glassy Flats... right?"
  245. 06[01:17] * +Sour_Grape "We've done plenty, that among them. Our most recent escapade involved thwarting a legion plot to make the gangs of whatsitcalled fight each otha. Nice'ta meet;cha."
  246. 06[01:18] * +Dust_Off nods, "Yes, took out a force there, wiped out a Legion camp plaguing Dune," she looks at Grape pointedly, "And just took out a group near this town."
  247. 06[01:18] * +Roy_Calbeck nods to the Guard Captain.
  248. 06[01:18] * +Slag_Heap just stands there with his cigar.
  249. 06[01:19] * +Sour_Grape "Oh yeah, ah forgot about them cause they were pussies."
  250. 01[01:23] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Data Byte nods to the group looking to the hovering machine mid-way inspecting Roy_Calbeck and speaking, "Gatekeeper, they're clear. Alert status, Green." In response to those words, Gatekeeper replies, "AFFIRMATIVE. THREAT LEVEL MINIMAL. WELCOME TO HOWTI." Then floats over near the gate once more. Data Byte nods to Dust_Off, gaining a small smirk, "Sorry about the suspicion, but we're kind of in the thick of things here. If not for the Mareizona Airborne Corps, we'd be sitting in Ranger territory and from looking at the robots keeping guard... you can guess that we're pretty high priority on their marks." Motioning with her head towards the inside of the settlement, she adds, "Come on inside. Spruce Goose over at Spruces will set up lodgings for you... "squinting... she looks between the group then asks, "Wait... I thought you guys had like... five or six members to your group..."
  251. 06[01:25] * +Dust_Off smiles at little, "You'll have to understand our precautions as well. We were just ambushed. Sagittis, come on out please."
  252. 06[01:25] * +Sour_Grape "It changes cause sometimes folk die or leave, and Sagi. He's always sneaky."
  253. 12[01:27] * Arcane_Scroll[A] is now known as Arcane_Sleeping[A]
  254. 06[01:27] * +Sagittis skulks up as close as he can before revealing himself.
  255. 01[01:31] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Data Byte gives a nodding in confirmation to Sour_Grape and Dust_Off, speaking, "Ah gotcha... Sorry to hear about any that've died recently." then looks to see Sagittis appearing in the light, giving a small smile when she notices him, "Ahh there you are. Wow... a zebra too... Not... a ghoul... at that... Neat..." turning, she then adds, "Well, hate to tell you, but most things are closed this late at night... though the general store should open in the next like... oohhh." she pulls a leather clad sleeve near her hoof back, revealing a pipbuck, "Another four hours."
  256. 06[01:31] * +Dust_Off smiles, "Just a bed then. We've come a long way."
  257. [01:32] <+Dust_Off> "Through Manticores near Hell."
  258. 06[01:32] * +Sour_Grape gives a squeaky yawn to confirm
  259. 06[01:33] * +Sagittis pets the dog ad scoots up to Data Byte. "Where did you get that?"
  260. 06[01:34] * +Dust_Off also,
  261. 06[01:35] * +Roy_Calbeck as well.
  262. [01:35] <+Sagittis> and*
  263. 06[01:35] * +Sour_Grape "Hey, don't we have a pipbuck?"
  264. [01:35] <+Dust_Off> ....loses 15 Karma
  265. 06[01:35] * +Dust_Off also now looks at the Pipbuck.
  266. 06[01:35] * +Roy_Calbeck peers in closely at the PipBuck. "Got any maintenance techs fer one o' those around here?"
  267. [01:35] <+Sour_Grape> hoof-magigger*
  268. 01[01:39] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Manyoya seems more anxious then ever, whimpering slightly, even at Sagittis' petting. Data Byte looks over her shoulder to Sagittis replying, "Hmm? Ohh this thing? Been in my family since they were part of Stable 83... that was... gosh so long ago..." Inside past the gates... the group sees that the road leading further into the pre-war town itself is blocked by a large pile of concrete... effectively acting as a type of roadblock. Before them... is a /giant/... building... that has large neon lettering that is lit up... a lot of the words missing... What remainds in flashy Red and yellow lighting reads, 'HOW TI'. Strange white backlit panels with black plastic lettering reads, 'WELCOME. OBEY THE RULES. TROUBLE WILL BE MET WITH FORCE.' on a wall near by with large gold paint chipped frames with words that read, 'now showing!' with nothing inside the frames themselves. The group gets lead towards large glass doors that are broken down with scorched trashcans lining the sides. To answer Roy_Calbeck's question, Data Byte responds, "Oh yeah we got techs that can crack a pipbuck... It's not cheap though. Being a rare service over a really rare device."
  269. 06[01:40] * +Dust_Off looks at Roy, almost squeeing, finally their patience has paid off.
  270. 06[01:41] * +Roy_Calbeck nods. "Got one, might even have th' caps. Where they at?"
  271. 06[01:41] * +Sagittis picks up the dog and stays on guard. Something was wrong here... or the dog hated robots.
  272. 06[01:43] * +Sour_Grape "We got tha caps... ah guess." She doesn't get why it'd be worth it.
  273. 06[01:44] * +Dust_Off puts back on her armor mesh cape and follows along.
  274. 03[01:45] * Pantzar ([email protected]) has joined #FalloutEquestriaPNP
  275. 06[01:45] * +Slag_Heap follows without saying a word.
  276. 06[01:46] * +Roy_Calbeck walks alongside, getting the info on where and when these techs can be accessed.
  277. 01[01:46] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Data Byte continues forward with her protectaponies, the other two guards remaining near the gate. Manyoya seems only a little relieved to be carried by Sagittis... as it eyes the robots, attempting to hide itself behind the zebra colt from their sight... even though neither even pay the dog any mind. Entering what was once a grand lobby... or maybe even possible concourse... are nearly four levels... with a giant circular counter with many many registers lining it. Behind the counter is six various uniform machines with old worn unlit neon yellow signs that read, 'POPCORN' on it. Data Byte replies to Roy_Calbeck, "I'm pretty sure he's asleep... but old pony Gradient should be able to take care of that for you. Hope you didn't have anything important stored on your pipbuck." the mare chuckles as they march through the ground floor, going past the counter and up a small set of stairs, heading towards a door that reads with a sign over it, 'EXIT'
  278. 06[01:48] * +Dust_Off looks around the place, taking it in.
  279. 06[01:48] * +Roy_Calbeck nods absently to Data Byte, looking around at the old theatre. "Danke schoen..."
  280. 06[01:48] * +Sour_Grape "Wonders what popcorn is and why it makes her hungry."
  281. 06[01:49] * +Sour_Grape didn't use quotes
  282. 06[01:49] * +Sagittis scans the area, but mostly for hiding and ambush spots.
  283. 06[01:50] * +Roy_Calbeck jokes, "Wonder if they've got a copy of 'Eternal Warrior XV' on HoloMax."
  284. 02[01:51] * Pantzar ([email protected]) Quit (Ping timeout: 121 seconds)
  285. 01[01:53] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 This place must have been an impressive spectacle back in it's hey-day. Many more frames with chipped gold frames that read, 'Now showing!' underneath. Various hallways with broken letters over the threshold leading to various hallways lead further into the complex. Most of the frames have nothing in them at all... though some have titles such as, 'Attack of the 50 hooved tall Zebra!' or 'The Poninator'. One even reads, 'Luna 20-' with the rest of the wording completely gone. Just... expansive... would be still an understatement to describe the volume of this building... but the closest accurate description. Data Byte stares at the group and chuckles, asking, "Impressive isn't it?"
  286. 01[01:53] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Of course, the ceiling has many unlit neon lights that wrap around the ceiling and under the rim of the threshholds... unfortunately... none are lit.
  287. 06[01:53] * +Sour_Grape nods, "Its pretty big, might be bigger than that mall."
  288. 06[01:54] * +Dust_Off nods, "It is quite impressive. An old cinema?"
  289. 01[01:56] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Data Byte nods looking about now, "Yeah... biggest probably ever constructed. Shame though... heard it went through a pretty nasty decline during the end of the war. Which was weird cause movies were one of the few escapes for ponies back in the day... which..." giving a sigh, the mare turns to the exit once more adding, "Would still be true if we had any working projectors... damn shame..."
  290. 03[01:57] * Pantzar ([email protected]) has joined #FalloutEquestriaPNP
  291. 06[01:58] * +Roy_Calbeck sighs. "Ah well."
  292. 06[01:58] * +Dust_Off cocks her head, "What's wrong with them?"
  293. 06[01:58] * +Sagittis looks over the posters. "I blame a lack of realism. Even at 50 hooves, you would never see the zebra coming."
  294. 06[01:59] * +Roy_Calbeck snerks at Sagi. "Given what I've seen you pull off, I'd almost believe that."
  295. 01[02:00] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Data Byte looks back to Dust_Off, "Fried. Long ago, even before our ancestors found this place. We had /one/ that we brought from our Stable... but uhh... constant use kind of made it go kaput... probably one of the effects of the balefire bombs going off... I mean this place was ground zero for /one/ at least."
  296. 06[02:01] * +Dust_Off nods.
  297. 06[02:01] * +Roy_Calbeck pricks his ears up. "Say what? How's your residual?"
  298. 01[02:02] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Data Byte rolls her eyes to Roy_Calbeck speaking, "That was over two hundred years ago bud. And this place is quite close to the M.A.C. territory... there's nothing left to be worried about."
  299. 06[02:03] * +Roy_Calbeck snorts. "Plenty o' places still have patches of glow. When it comes t'balefire, it's prudent t'worry."
  300. 02[02:03] * @TenMihara ([email protected]) Quit (Quit: See you !)
  301. 06[02:03] * +Dust_Off blinks, "Why is being close to MAC, leave you with less worry?"
  302. 01[02:05] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Data Byte rolls her eyes again then looks between the group and speaks, "Well, if you're wondering where to go, Spruce's place is--" she stops at Dust_Off's question looking at the mare curiously then speaking, "Because... they're pegasi... they controlled the weather for the better part of over two centuries... you really think they'd let /any/ fallout or radiation drift or remain so close to their borders?"
  303. 06[02:06] * +Roy_Calbeck looks at Data. "They've let it happen elsewhere. Like I said... prudence."
  304. 01[02:09] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Data Byte facehoofs to Roy_Calbeck and mumbles, "Because we'd totally settle on a heap of radiation like a bunch of shufflers..." shaking her head, the mare speaks, "So... if you're wondering where Spruce's is, just head out this exit, then go down 'Lover's lane' till you see an old subway station, head down those stairs and bam, you're in Spruce's."
  305. 06[02:12] * +Dust_Off shakes her head. "Perhaps you are right about their fallout practices...but fallout generally leaves the air long before now, before MAC. And they don't care what happens to soil, only the clouds."
  306. 06[02:13] * +Roy_Calbeck nods to Data. "Thanks. Nothin' meant by it, but I gotta tell ya, I've seen places where they do exactly that, just put up signs around irradiated patches where th' bombs hit or waste was dumped, not even that sometimes. Glad my fears were misplaced."
  307. 01[02:14] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Data Byte smirks to Dust_Off and speaks, "Well, if you start sprouting an extra leg... or head... go talk to Scalpel, she'll help you somehow." turning to Roy_Calbeck the mare shrugs, "Don't need to apologize, you guys just need to put your worries at ease is all, even if they are warranted."
  308. 06[02:15] * +Dust_Off cocks her head, "Scalpel? Your doctor? Where is she?"
  309. 06[02:15] * +Roy_Calbeck coughs. "Ma'am, we've been marchin' all night t'get here, maybe we should get a room now an' sightsee in th' mornin'...?"
  310. 06[02:16] * +Sour_Grape is sort of dozing off where she stands, "Wha, what." Her head starts to droop again, "Ah'm awake."
  311. 01[02:16] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Data Byte answers Dust_Off, "Opposite of 'Lover's Lane', past the old Sunrise Sarsparilla plant... uhh... d-don't go /inside/ the plant... you'll see an old Ministry of Peace clinic, pretty hard to miss."
  312. 06[02:19] * +Dust_Off nods, "Yes, lead on, Gunny. Before our she-mare legion slayer falls asleep." She glances back at Data_Byte, "The factory is restricted property...or full of deadly dangers no pony goes into?"
  313. 06[02:19] * @SilentBrony|GM gives a rather unamused expression and replies, "Kind of..."
  314. 06[02:19] * +Sour_Grape perks up, "Ah'm not fallin' sleep." She smacks her lips. "An' killin legion bitches takes energy."
  315. 01[02:19] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Data Byte does.
  316. 01[02:19] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Your GM is simply just watching with stark amusement.
  317. 06[02:21] * +Roy_Calbeck follows Data Byte's directions to Spruce Goose's place, checking behind him to make sure everypony is together and not conked out on the concourse.
  318. 06[02:22] * +Dust_Off gives Data_Byte a stern look for a mathematician's answer and goes the group.
  319. 01[02:22] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 The group is still there in the large expansive lobby, whether or not they follow Roy_Calbeck is up to them. Slag_Heap is going wherever the majority of the group is headed.
  320. 06[02:23] * +Sagittis is. He is just staying quiet.
  321. 06[02:23] * +Roy_Calbeck derp de derps along.
  322. 01[02:29] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Data Byte replies quickly to Dust_Off before she leaves with the rest of the party, "Trust me... just... you don't want to run into /her/." As they leave, the group notices the town is... more of a shambled remains of a pre-war town... most of the buildings smoldered wrecks of what they once were... passing by an extremely large crater with various metal plating covering it, Roy_Calbeck and gang notice from what they can gather would have possibly been the center of this city, is divided into three distincts streets. Each labled with a sign from a broken mangled traffic light. 'Lover's Lane' can be seen with the melted remains of two iron statues of ponies... possibly kissing another? On a sidewalk near what /possibly/ might have been a park... or landfill... it's kind of hard to tell with all the ERRANT rubble remaining behind the melted statue. The other street is labeled, 'Sarsparilla Avenue' with the last reading, 'Main Street'. Indeed down 'Sarsparilla avenue' one can spot down some ways a large Sarsparilla Bottle... well... it's shaped as such... in building form... though a lot of the panels have been blasted off. As stated, they go down 'Lover's Lane' seeing at the end of the street, with only a couple of buildings still standing... most structures are metal shacks that line the streets... metal shacks that are better in quality construction by far then those seen in any settlement so far, a subway station with a large actual lit green, white, and yellow neon sign that reads, 'The Spruced Goose'.
  323. 06[02:32] * +Dust_Off heads towards the Spruced Goose. She did intend to ask about that "Her" in the factory she didn't want to meet, but she was tired.
  324. 06[02:33] * +Roy_Calbeck does likewise
  325. 06[02:33] * +Sagittis follows behind. He could sneek into the factory some other time.
  326. 01[02:38] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Making their way downstairs into the subway station, at a check point stood another protectapony with the faded markings on it that read, 'SUNRISE SARSPARILLA SECURITY' on it, with brown and white markings on it. Once approaching it, the metal creature speaks out in the same robotic tone it's mechanical kin spoke, "WEL-COME. TO. THE. SPRUCED. GOOSE. CURRENT VACANCY, OPEN. HOW. CAN WE. HELP YOU. THIS NIGHT."
  327. 06[02:39] * +Sour_Grape perks up at the yelling, "Ackwhatisthati'mnotsleeping."
  328. 06[02:39] * +Slag_Heap yawns widely.
  329. 06[02:40] * +Dust_Off recoils from the sudden protectapony, "Gah! How are you a hospitality manager?"
  330. 06[02:40] * +Sagittis pets the dog preemptively.
  331. 06[02:41] * +Roy_Calbeck stifles a yawn. Darnit, Sour, those are contagious...
  332. 06[02:41] * +Roy_Calbeck meant Slag. See? Sleepy.
  333. 01[02:42] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 Manyoya whimpers but remains on Sagittis' back. The robot speaks further, "I. AM. PROGRAMMED AND. QUALIFED IN ASSISTING. ANY ISSUES OR. COMPLAINTS THAT OUR. GUESTS MAY. HAVE. DO. YOU WISH TO PURCHASE. A ROOM. FOR THE MORNING?"
  334. 06[02:45] * +Dust_Off nods, "Yes, we would like..." She looks back over the group. "Two or three?"
  335. 06[02:45] * +Sagittis "Depends who is sleeping where."
  336. 01[02:47] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 The robot speaks up, "WE HAVE." Then an audible series of clicking and whirs can be heard as lights underneath it's glass casing blink in a rhymic manner, before continuing, "TWO OPEN ROOMS, AVAILAVBLE. PRICE FOR EACH ROOM IS." another series of clicks, whirs, and light blinks, "FIF-TEEN CAPS FOR THE ECONOMY. CLASS. FOR. LUX-URY. FOR-TY CAPS."
  337. 06[02:47] * +Slag_Heap yawns again. "I'll sleep anywhere."
  338. 06[02:49] * +Sour_Grape "Guess its two rooms."
  339. 06[02:50] * +Dust_Off raises an eyebrow, "What's the difference in service?"
  340. 06[02:52] * +Roy_Calbeck eyes his captain, but says nothing. NOTH-ink...
  341. 01[02:52] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3The robot replies to Dust_Off, "ECONOMY CAN ROOM. COM-FORT-ABLY. UP TO. TWO PONIES. LUXURY CAN ROOM. UP TO FOUR. IT EVEN INCLUDES. ONE. MINIBAR." very VERY quickly it then speaks out, "MINIBARLIMITHASALIMITOFTENDRINKS."
  342. [02:53] <+Roy_Calbeck> "...I got 'ten drinks' out of that."
  343. 06[02:55] * +Sagittis looks between everypony. "So, who gets the big room and who gets the little one?"
  344. 06[02:55] * +Dust_Off looks back at the group. "Well, how do you all want to split?"
  345. 06[02:57] * +Sour_Grape le shrugs, "Ah dunno, don't matter ta me
  346. 06[02:57] * +Slag_Heap is a rather big stallion. Just saying.
  347. 06[03:00] * +Roy_Calbeck just looks at Dust_Off. "Wherever ya say, ma'am."
  348. 06[03:00] * +Dust_Off looks at Roy and Sagittis, "Any pref...." She stops and looks just at Sagittis, "Any preference?"
  349. 06[03:04] * +Sagittis looks up to Dust_Off. "I honestly prefer bunking with you and Sour, but, with my new hound that my not be viable. I will be flexible and find a nice cave or something if it comes to that. No pets policy or something."
  350. 06[03:06] * +Sour_Grape wonders what Sagi is on, "Cave? In a town? Wat. This is fuckin' dumb. Slag and Roy get the small room, everyone else gets the big one." She hooves 55 caps to the robot, "Lets go."
  351. 06[03:08] * +Dust_Off nods, "Sounds good." And thus ponies would not interrupt her beauty sleep...and they thought she was fair. Suckers. The mare pleasantly smiles.
  352. 01[03:11] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 The robot takes the money and deposits it in a compartment that slides out from it's mechanical barrel, speaking in response to Sour_Grape, "THANK YOU. FOR YOUR. PURCHASE." sliding out from a seperate, smaller compartment in the same vicinity on his body, with two sets of keys inside, "PLEASE. ENJOY YOUR STAY." it then whirs and clicks, "DISCLAIMER. THE. ESTABLISHMENT. WILL NOT BE HELD. RESPONSIBLE. FOR ANY THEFT. OR RADROACH BITES. YOU MAY ACCRUE. WHILE BEING. A PATRON."
  353. 06[03:12] * +Dust_Off blinks, "Radroachs?"
  354. 01[03:13] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 The robot gives a slow, mechanical nodding, "THAT IS. COR-RECT."
  355. 06[03:13] * +Roy_Calbeck tiredly takes one set of keys in his mouth and heads for the room he and Slag have been assigned.
  356. 06[03:13] * +Dust_Off sighs and walks towards her room. "Great."
  357. 06[03:14] * +Sagittis follows Dust_Off and Sour_Grape to the other room and looks it over.
  358. 06[03:15] * +Sour_Grape shrugs, "THey're easy'a squish."
  359. 01[03:15] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 The group sees their keys are.. not actually keys... they're actually thin cards... strange... Making their way to their 'rooms' as indicated on their cards... they notice that their 'rooms' are actually large old subway cars, with one that Slag_Heap and Roy_Calbeck sharing being a much smaller one to the one that is right next to the rest. The windows are quite thick... possibly even bullet proof! The sliding doors have strange custom slots fit perfectly for their cards. Neat!
  360. 06[03:17] * +Roy_Calbeck slides the card into the slot for the smaller car.
  361. 01[03:22] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 The doors open for Roy_Calbeck, allowing access into his train car. The others find the same thing happens with theirs. How convienent that they get to sleep next to one another! Definitely interesting that they sleep in train cars as a form of board and room. Though with our heroes getting much needed sleep, after slaying their would be assassins, they will awaken to yet another day to roam the heat of the desert wastes... But what other potential secrets does 'Howti' store for our crew? Will they reach Mercy in time before either the M.A.C. or N.P.L. does? Find out the answers to these questions in the next installments of Star Group, Fallout Equestria!
  362. 01[03:22] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 ------------------------------------ SESSION 39 END ----------------------------------------------------------
  363. 01[03:23] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 For her aggressive and threatening nature, Sour_Grape recieves -3 Karma.
  364. 01[03:24] <@SilentBrony|GM> 3 For Excellent Role-playing and vanquishing their foes, the group gains enlightement to a new plateau! They reach the Thirteenth level!
