  1. [2015-04-25 20:08:19]* DontAskForCookies >> Deadlands: Tarturas on Equestria - Session #4: "'DOME'stic Living" <<
  2. [2015-04-25 20:09:23]<DontAskForCookies> A Wind whips around Bellator and Golden Brass as they enter visible range of the small watered groto where the rest of the party waits with the parked Airship hidden in the rocky outcrop.
  3. [2015-04-25 20:10:56]* Nutmeg_Oil looks and blinks, surprised by the lack of gunshot sounds. "Ah'll be darned! They made it."
  4. [2015-04-25 20:11:03]* Azshkazar crosses paths with Bellator and Golden Brass as she searches for ingredients near the ship. "So how was the suicide mission?"
  5. [2015-04-25 20:11:52]<Golden_Brass> "A success," Brass says, unwrapping her head before smiling softly.
  6. [2015-04-25 20:11:53]* Emerald_Rose looks up from where she's reading a book next to the little robot. "Thank goodness." She gives a sigh of relief.
  7. [2015-04-25 20:12:43]* DontAskForCookies the Robot moves and looks about as Rose shifts, moving for the first time since she had started reading, content to just lay still in her lap.
  8. [2015-04-25 20:13:48]* Bellator hovers up off the ground and waves to everyone onboard the ship, "Ah wouldn't call it that now; that buck is still in a mighty pickle. But everyponys alive, so it ain't a total failure."
  9. [2015-04-25 20:14:11]* Golden_Brass just starts climbing aboard on her own.
  10. [2015-04-25 20:15:55]<Nutmeg_Oil> "That's good enough for me." He moves to the helm and starts Shy's engines.
  11. [2015-04-25 20:16:09]* Emerald_Rose looks down at the robot and smiles before nodding to Bellator. "But if you die trying to save him, you'd just make his situation worse. You did the best you could with what you had."
  12. [2015-04-25 20:16:39]<Golden_Brass> "Our Junker friend knows there are people coming for him, and that he should start sabotaging the gang's works," Brass reports once she's made it up.
  13. [2015-04-25 20:17:11]<Azshkazar> "Did you figure out what he's doing there? Building an armored monster truck for them or something?"
  14. [2015-04-25 20:18:04]* Emerald_Rose smiles to Brass. "Good. When we have more allies, it'll be easier for us to remove them as a problem."
  15. [2015-04-25 20:18:16]* Bellator "All maybes there, all Ah know fer certain is that he ain't out of the woods yet." she says, shaking her head. "A mite worse, some big ol' armoured behemoth."
  16. [2015-04-25 20:18:17]<Golden_Brass> "Yes, but more than that," Brass says to Ash. "You saw the cannon."
  17. [2015-04-25 20:19:43]<Nutmeg_Oil> "Sabotage? Heh, maybe that was worth something after all. Now we better hurry before they discover what's goin' on. Right Shy?" He pulls the lever for lift.
  18. [2015-04-25 20:21:19]* DontAskForCookies Risky Nods, "I dont want Almond to be there any longer than he needs but yes, If anyone is going to help him they are going to need more than just some hired guns and a ship from what you mentioned, the mayor will be very eager to hear about this development"
  19. [2015-04-25 20:23:15]<Azshkazar> "Wait, you mean that thing? Seriously? Nice."
  20. [2015-04-25 20:23:26]* DontAskForCookies the Ship flits up from its hidden Groto and glides easily into the sky
  21. [2015-04-25 20:25:03]* Golden_Brass goes and sits next to her pile of loot.
  22. [2015-04-25 20:25:58]* DontAskForCookies Risky watches the clouds go by as her ears flatten to block out the screaming of the spook juice burning off in the enguines.
  23. [2015-04-25 20:28:08]* Bellator feels grounded despite being up so high, and moves to the edge of the ship to watch the land go by
  24. [2015-04-25 20:29:15]* Emerald_Rose puts in some ear-plugs and heads into a covered area to continue reading.
  25. [2015-04-25 20:29:41]* DontAskForCookies Roses Bot friend follows behind
  26. [2015-04-25 20:30:44]<Nutmeg_Oil> "So, witch lady, ah was here thinking. Ya said me that us winged folk had no need for a ship." He nods back, while manuevering the ship far around the bandit camp and back to course.
  27. [2015-04-25 20:32:30]<Nutmeg_Oil> *bat lady
  28. [2015-04-25 20:32:37]* Golden_Brass pulls-out her radio and pops her battery into it, fiddling with the tuning dial to get some sound out of it.
  29. [2015-04-25 20:34:21]* Bellator looks back, "Ah suppose its a mite useful if yer gonna transport some heavy equipment, but Ah much prefer movin' under mah own strength." she replies
  30. [2015-04-25 20:34:31]* Emerald_Rose settles down and looks over at the robot. "Hrm... need a name for you..." She rubs her chin. "Did Almond call you anything?"
  31. [2015-04-25 20:36:00]* Golden_Brass looks for a channel with music or... someone talking!
  32. [2015-04-25 20:37:51]<Nutmeg_Oil> "That's right, but don't ya think us pegasi know the sky and the wind better than the other folks? If anyone oughta work with ships, we might as well be the first choice." He says. Shy speeds up, following the road toward the Dome.
  33. [2015-04-25 20:40:21]* Bellator "Ain't denyin' that, just couldn't imagine not usin' mah own wings while they still work just fine an' dandy."
  34. [2015-04-25 20:41:00]* DontAskForCookies Emerald can see there is little understanding in the bot but it watches intently, it seems to pay attention to her but if it has any recognition or know of any name it may have had its not showing it. Still it seems attentive!
  35. [2015-04-25 20:43:35]* Emerald_Rose removes her earplugs, now that she's under some cover and the screaming isn't so bad. "Heh. C'mere cutie. We'll figure this out as we go." She smiles and offers the little bot a spot to sit.
  36. [2015-04-25 20:45:01]* DontAskForCookies the Bot chiters into the offerd spot and takes a seat, perching iteself as it lays on top of folded legs and points its sensor out away to observe the room from its new seat
  37. [2015-04-25 20:45:10]<Nutmeg_Oil> "Ah'll tell ya, when something stops working in mid-air, wings make a whole lot of difference."
  38. [2015-04-25 20:45:42]<Golden_Brass> "... ah. And I was doing so well up until now," Brass says to Nutmeg_Oil.
  39. [2015-04-25 20:45:58]<Golden_Brass> "Thanks for reminding me that I'm basically a dead mare if this thing stops working midair."
  40. [2015-04-25 20:46:21]* DontAskForCookies Risky Fortune shivers a bit
  41. [2015-04-25 20:46:57]* Bellator chuckles, "Ah'm sure the cap' and Ah could git ya onto the ground all safe an' sound, don't ya worry."
  42. [2015-04-25 20:47:39]<Golden_Brass> "Still not a scenario I'd like to contemplate so far from the earth..."
  43. [2015-04-25 20:47:44]* Golden_Brass sighs and keeps scanning the airwaves.
  44. [2015-04-25 20:47:46]* DontAskForCookies After about 15 mins the Ship is nearly half way there, the sun passes overhead as the day continues.
  45. [2015-04-25 20:49:05]<Nutmeg_Oil> "That ain't quite what ah meant..." He rubs his mane. "The baloon still keeps us up either even if the engine stops. And ah can fix whatever we need. Ah ain't gonna let Shy fall, and neither ah'll let y'all."
  46. [2015-04-25 20:49:50]* DontAskForCookies Risky looks back to those in the room, "Bit to many of us for all of you to catch us, still I would rather travel up here than down there, worst you have to fear up here are Raptors from Denmare and there havent been many of those seen in these parts since the Big Dust up"
  47. [2015-04-25 20:50:02]* Emerald_Rose pulls out her radio and sets it up so she can listen, her tail idly twisting the tuner as she tries to find something to listen to that's better than screaming engines.
  48. [2015-04-25 20:50:46]* DontAskForCookies the Radio Scans through stattic
  49. [2015-04-25 20:52:40]<Nutmeg_Oil> "With all them broken roads and bandits, flying with Shy is much safer than goin' on a car. That ah promise."
  50. [2015-04-25 20:53:04]* Nutmeg_Oil watches the path ahead, to the dome.
  51. [2015-04-25 20:53:20]* DontAskForCookies Risky nods, "Glad to know captain... so what do you ponies think, about the Dome that is, do you think it will be arlight?
  52. [2015-04-25 20:53:21]<DontAskForCookies> "
  53. [2015-04-25 20:54:10]* Bellator "Only one way to find out now ain't there?"
  54. [2015-04-25 20:54:47]* Nutmeg_Oil stays silent and watches the path ahead. His face is not the most hopeful, but it's not turned to them either.
  55. [2015-04-25 20:56:09]* DontAskForCookies the flat lands gives way to a steel canyon, the land becomes much rougher below and mountains can be seen a few miles ahead, Travling by hoof over such turrain would be hard under good conditions. The Domes Location was chosen well for privacy.
  56. [2015-04-25 20:56:25]* Golden_Brass shuts her radio off after a while of not getting any signal.
  57. [2015-04-25 20:56:33]* Golden_Brass hums to herself as she packs it away...
  58. [2015-04-25 20:56:40]* Emerald_Rose keeps idly scanning the bands... static at least is better than screaming.
  59. [2015-04-25 20:57:06]* Golden_Brass fishes her harmonica out of a pocket.
  60. [2015-04-25 20:57:38]<Golden_Brass> She blows a note before looking to the others in the cabin and asking, "You don't mind, do you?"
  61. [2015-04-25 20:59:42]* DontAskForCookies Those who pass a notice check notice figures wondering in the canyon, stumbling about it dosent take a genious to realize they are undead. They wonder about lost in canyon.
  62. [2015-04-25 21:00:13]* DontAskForCookies Those with a raise can tell that the number of them increase as you near the dome, you can also see while they are lost they are all moving in the same general location... the one your going.
  63. [2015-04-25 21:00:43]* Golden_Brass idly practices on her harmonica as she watches out the window.
  64. [2015-04-25 21:01:31]<Nutmeg_Oil> "Oh, you play? That's a nice way of-" He pauses. "Well, trouble's here already. Them corpses, all over the place."
  65. [2015-04-25 21:02:27]* Bellator nods, "An' they all seem to be headin' to the Dome."
  66. [2015-04-25 21:02:47]* DontAskForCookies Risky nods as she looks out the window, "Sure looks like it, a fair amount of it to... never been to uncomon this close to phoenix, but this is a good number of them, wonder what they are doing out here"
  67. [2015-04-25 21:04:05]* Emerald_Rose looks out the window and sighs, putting away her book. "Time to get to work..." She starts paying much closer attention to her radio, listening for a distress signal as she moves across the bands.
  68. [2015-04-25 21:06:50]* DontAskForCookies the tiny robot climbes onto Emerald Roses back and stands ready
  69. [2015-04-25 21:07:13]<Golden_Brass> "These... a lot of them look like they're from War's army," Brass says, removing her harmonica from her mouth.
  70. [2015-04-25 21:09:18]* DontAskForCookies As the ship crests the mountain and you get a look at the valley below the radios finaly come to life, the radio signals broadcasting out from the dome blocked by the mountains, To signals come from within the valley. One is a distress signal From a Dome Guards asking for Help and the Second is a Repeating Code.
  71. [2015-04-25 21:10:29]* Emerald_Rose smiles back at the little robot and goes back to focusing on her radio. When she gets the signal she heads out to the others. "Got a distress signal and... something else." She closes her eyes and starts tapping out the repeating code, trying to think if it registers anything.
  72. [2015-04-25 21:10:39]* Bellator looks at the radio, listening to the distress signal, "Ah hell, how soon can ya get us down there cap?"
  73. [2015-04-25 21:11:23]* Golden_Brass says Death, not War. >_>]
  74. [2015-04-25 21:13:54]<Nutmeg_Oil> "We can a vantage point from here. Better think on how we'll do it." His face hardens. "Them moving like this, it ain't no good sign." He looks for a clear place to land or an advantageous position to hover over
  75. [2015-04-25 21:14:24]* Golden_Brass listens to the coded signal.
  76. [2015-04-25 21:14:40]<DontAskForCookies> *Death not war :P
  77. [2015-04-25 21:18:35]* Emerald_Rose shakes her head. "I've got nothing... this code isn't familiar to me..." She frowns.
  78. [2015-04-25 21:19:26]* Bellator frowns, "That code don't make a lick o' sense to me..."
  79. [2015-04-25 21:20:17]* Nutmeg_Oil is busy trying to figure out where to land, and doesn't really get the code
  80. [2015-04-25 21:20:22]* DontAskForCookies Brass notes that it is a short looped message, with the same combinations repeating evenly. She may not be able to tell what its saying but from the tight beeps she is fairly sure she has heard it before: This is a Code used by Soliders from the Globe.
  81. [2015-04-25 21:21:15]<Golden_Brass> "... it's some kind of military code. From the dome down there," Brass says.
  82. [2015-04-25 21:22:25]* DontAskForCookies The Ship finaly comes over what must be the Dome. A blasted (And still smoldering in places) road leads up to a fenced off compound with high guard towers. Inside the fence are a few smaller buildings and tents with a few parked vehicals, all in the shadow of a large multistory domed structure.
  83. [2015-04-25 21:23:33]* Emerald_Rose nods. "Hrm... it hasn't changed... so they have no one watching outside. That's not good..."
  84. [2015-04-25 21:23:36]* DontAskForCookies What ammounts to a small army of Undead push against the defenses, shaking the baracades at spots, in the army of dead a few larger Glomes (larger beasts made of multiple corpses) pound against fortifications. At the walls a desperate battle continues as guards shoot at the Undead.
  85. [2015-04-25 21:24:02]<Emerald_Rose> ((* And redact my last statement. ))
  86. [2015-04-25 21:24:40]<Golden_Brass> "From the Globe," Brass says.*
  87. [2015-04-25 21:24:52]* Emerald_Rose smiles down at the battle. "Hey, Nutmeg? Can you fly above that fight? There's a lovely group of undead that need some bullet holes in them."
  88. [2015-04-25 21:25:05]<Golden_Brass> "Maybe there are some Peacekeeper types down there," Brass mutters.
  89. [2015-04-25 21:28:07]<DontAskForCookies> Those who make the Notice check can tell that unless somepony helps soon this Fence will not last, while the Guards may be able to repell the larger undead the Glomes addition are proving to much for them to handle on there own. The massive multi-limbed abominations punch and flail at the walls.
  90. [2015-04-25 21:28:44]* DontAskForCookies Risky Fortune ducks into the hold for a moment... before returning back to the cabin and proceeding ou onto the deck with her sawed off shotgun, loading it as she trots. "Damn Dead"
  91. [2015-04-25 21:29:06]<Golden_Brass> "Jeez. The fight's really raging down there..." Brass says.
  92. [2015-04-25 21:29:43]* Emerald_Rose nods. "I'll get on our big gun, give them some fire support... focus on the big ones." She heads over to the deck gun.
  93. [2015-04-25 21:29:44]* DontAskForCookies For a normal Pass on hearing a pony could tell something odd about the gunfire from the guards, its very distinct, Hillstorm Wepons. Caseless military grade weapons
  94. [2015-04-25 21:30:25]<Nutmeg_Oil> "Alright, ah was gonna ask if miss Fortune was up to go there but that's enough answer. Ready Shy?" He turns to head closer to the undead, making sure to stay still above their reach.
  95. [2015-04-25 21:30:38]* DontAskForCookies Nutmeg notes there is plenty of room in the compound to land the ship.
  96. [2015-04-25 21:31:08]* DontAskForCookies Shys control stiffen sharply, almost like anticipation and readiness for what is to come.
  97. [2015-04-25 21:31:27]* Bellator checks the load on her rifle, "Thats it, they can't wait forever. Ya'll can wait fer this to get earth bound, but Ah ain't!"
  98. [2015-04-25 21:31:54]<Nutmeg_Oil> "That might be a tough one, Shy, but we gotta do it." He holds her controls firmly.
  99. [2015-04-25 21:32:50]<Golden_Brass> "I... um..."
  100. [2015-04-25 21:33:07]* Emerald_Rose settles down into the deck gun, aiming and waiting for the order to open fire.
  101. [2015-04-25 21:33:10]* Golden_Brass looks paralyzed with indecision for a moment, then has an idea.
  102. [2015-04-25 21:34:20]* Golden_Brass trots over to Nutmeg_Oil.
  103. [2015-04-25 21:34:35]<Golden_Brass> "Captain, I think we might be able to do a bombing-run over these things," she says.
  104. [2015-04-25 21:35:03]<Golden_Brass> "Those grenades we found-- we might be able to drop them into the attackers' ranks."
  105. [2015-04-25 21:36:07]* Golden_Brass gathers-up the Frags and Cryonades.
  106. [2015-04-25 21:36:14]* Bellator trots to the edge of the ship, "Ah'll be sure to avoid those explosives o' yers." she says, jumping off the edge and swooping towards the wall
  107. [2015-04-25 21:36:18]<Nutmeg_Oil> He looks back at the weapon cache "That might just work." He turns Shy towards the zombie horde
  108. [2015-04-25 21:37:01]* Golden_Brass wraps her face up.
  109. [2015-04-25 21:37:20]<Emerald_Rose> "Permission to open fire?" Emerald smiles back and waves to Nutmeg. It is his gun after all.
  110. [2015-04-25 21:37:23]<Golden_Brass> "Wish me luck..." she says as she starts to step out onto the catwalk.
  111. [2015-04-25 21:39:31]<Nutmeg_Oil> "Fire at will!" He shouts. "...just don't miss much, ah don't have a whole lot of ammo and that's a whole lot of them."
  112. [2015-04-25 21:40:19]<Emerald_Rose> "Only at the big ones! Gotcha!" She aims down the barrel at one of the big ones.
  113. [2015-04-25 21:42:31]* DontAskForCookies Under the fire from the guard the Glomes Grabe hold of the wall and shake, foundations crumbling slightly as the rest of the dead push mindlessly against it, The Guards visible are shaken as they try and keep there footing.
  114. [2015-04-25 21:49:33]* Emerald_Rose smirks down at the Glome. "Alright BB-4, let's show these monsters just what we can do." She fires down a three-round burst at it, dissembling the Glome and freeing up the defenders just that much more.
  115. [2015-04-25 21:55:06]* Azshkazar makes inequine sounding vocalizations, makes a strange gesture, and hurls a bolt of power into the horde. All caught in the blast are ensnared in a web of ghostly energy.
  116. [2015-04-25 21:59:59]* Nutmeg_Oil holds the controls firmly. "Brass, Shy, it's time for the fireworks!" He gives the ship a short burst of speed, flying over the glomes.
  117. [2015-04-25 22:00:12]* Golden_Brass times her throw carefully, waiting for the right moment to pull the pin and let fly.
  118. [2015-04-25 22:03:15]* Golden_Brass drops her fragmentation grenade right on the two Glomes Nutmeg is passing the ship over.
  119. [2015-04-25 22:05:40]* DontAskForCookies the gernade explodes neatly between the packed zombies, several bodies fly but the mutilated mounds of Flesh that are the Glomes still stand tall.
  120. [2015-04-25 22:07:25]* Nutmeg_Oil stills the ship on the other side of the glome mobs
  121. [2015-04-25 22:12:23]* Bellator flies to the wall, spinning around and taking a shot with her rifle, "Ya'll called in fer help?" she shouts to the guards
  122. [2015-04-25 22:13:15]* DontAskForCookies the Guards Keep fireing and stay on task but definately note the ship and teh bat pony, Many cheer at the sight! They all continue shooting
  123. [2015-04-25 22:13:31]* Bellator the shot has little impact
  124. **** ENDING LOGGING AT Sat Apr 25 22:15:20 2015

  127.  
  128. [2015-04-25 22:16:28]* DontAskForCookies the Guards rain rapid fire death at the remaining glomes, One of the four left falls to peices, the tide shifting in the fight.
  129. [2015-04-25 22:16:43]* DontAskForCookies Risky Fortune steps up behind Bellator and looks at the Gernades, "May I?"
  130. [2015-04-25 22:17:03]* Golden_Brass has the grenades.
  131. [2015-04-25 22:18:27]<DontAskForCookies> *Golden Brass
  132. [2015-04-25 22:19:06]<Golden_Brass> "Uh... sure," Brass gives Risky a frag.
  133. [2015-04-25 22:20:24]* DontAskForCookies Risky smiles as she takes the Gernade, pops the pin and tosses it off the side into the hord between the two intangled Glomes, After a few moments it detonates and Removes teh abominations from the face of Equestria. Gore splatters the wall.
  134. [2015-04-25 22:20:59]<Golden_Brass> "Nice!" Brass says.
  135. [2015-04-25 22:22:38]* Emerald_Rose lets out a shout "Nice one Risky!" She swivels the gun toward the last Glome.
  136. [2015-04-25 22:23:24]* Azshkazar grins at the explosion
  137. [2015-04-25 22:32:33]* Azshkazar chants some more, and fires a barrage of glowing green nails at the last glome
  138. [2015-04-25 22:33:36]* DontAskForCookies the Nails inbed into the Glome and push through its multi-colored ratty flesh, making a mess but not slowing it down very much.
  139. [2015-04-25 22:37:42]<Nutmeg_Oil> "Hey, Shy, wanna giv'em what for? It might be messy."
  140. [2015-04-25 22:38:47]* DontAskForCookies the controls loosen and allow Nutmeg easier control

  175. [2015-04-25 23:00:58]<Nutmeg_Oil> "Ah don't want to get Shy all bent, but we had to get rid of those things. Ah don't plan to go landing like that much often no." He shakes his head.

  194. [2015-04-25 23:16:43]* DontAskForCookies One of the Support Gaurds at Hearts side nods her head, "Over a Month and A Half, been getting worse and worse", Heart seems annoyed that the Stallion had spoken out of turn but shrugs it off, "Hes right, had trouble with them in the valley for a while now but the Mines kept them out till recently"
  195. [2015-04-25 23:17:32]* Golden_Brass hrms quietly...
  196. [2015-04-25 23:17:55]* DontAskForCookies another guard speeks up, "Say how many ponies can this ship handle?", he is eyeing the ship like a life raft... which it effecivly is for these ponies
  197. [2015-04-25 23:18:24]* DontAskForCookies Heart Shoe snaps her tail and stomps her hoof to silence the guard
  198. [2015-04-25 23:20:04]* Nutmeg_Oil fetches his toolbox and answers to the guard. "Eight, but we got seven here. We'd have to go back and forth. I'd need the fuel and parts to keep her in shape. Smashing those monsters was not a smooth landing. Do you have any garage or the like?"
  199. [2015-04-25 23:21:59]* DontAskForCookies the groans of undead still echo from beyond the wall through the valley
  200. [2015-04-25 23:22:50]* DontAskForCookies Heart nods, "We do, and plenty of fule, means more to us to get out alive than top off our trade vehicals for now. Feel free to Fill your tank up, should be enough for a round trip right?"
  201. [2015-04-25 23:24:25]<Nutmeg_Oil> "Where to? Shiitake Flats?"
  202. [2015-04-25 23:25:16]* DontAskForCookies another guard approches, heart shrugs, "Or wherever, we just have to get a message out. We have an agreement with Globe but they are a bit far, right now we could use ANY help we can find"
  203. [2015-04-25 23:26:16]* Golden_Brass carefully unwraps her head again as she mulls-over some words.
  204. [2015-04-25 23:26:50]<Golden_Brass> "... do you know /why/ you seem to be under siege?" the golden-maned traveler asks the commander mare.
  205. [2015-04-25 23:27:16]* Emerald_Rose thinks for a moment. "What could be attracting all of these undead..."
  206. [2015-04-25 23:27:45]* DontAskForCookies Heart shakes her head in the negative, "No clue", the new guard arrives and nods to Heart before relaying a message, "Proffesor Harvest wants to see the guests"
  207. [2015-04-25 23:29:32]* Golden_Brass nods.
  208. [2015-04-25 23:30:15]* Bellator nods, hovering up off the ground
  209. [2015-04-25 23:31:13]* DontAskForCookies Heart nods before looking to the party, "Alright, I can have somepony take you to the Biosphere to meet with Harvest but I have work to do, need to check invintory on ammo stores and see to reinforcing the wall. If you allow we will fill up your fule tanks while you are inside"
  210. [2015-04-25 23:32:37]* DontAskForCookies Emerald Rose dosent get the feeling she is explicity lieing about not knowing what is causing the zombies attention, but gets the impression she may have some guess or additional information she is witholding.
  211. [2015-04-25 23:34:30]* Emerald_Rose cants her head at Heart Shoe. "So... you sure you don't have an idea? Anything at all?"
  212. [2015-04-25 23:35:05]<Nutmeg_Oil> "Ah'm fine with that." He nods to Heart. "We might need plenty of fuel to move everypony."
  213. [2015-04-25 23:37:18]* DontAskForCookies Heart nods to Nutmeg, "Good, we can handle the loading, Follow the guard to the entrance please, The Proffesor dosent like waiting for long...". Looking to Emerald the Heart pauses, "If I had any hard eveidence I would remove whatever was causing it... in any case I have duties to attend to". She turns and leaves, teh guard with the message nods towards the Dome.
  214. [2015-04-25 23:38:11]* DontAskForCookies the Guard smiles and moves to guide you towards the door.
  215. [2015-04-25 23:38:29]* Bellator follows about a foot off the ground
  216. [2015-04-25 23:38:34]* Golden_Brass keeps her wrappings about her neck.
  217. [2015-04-25 23:39:37]<Nutmeg_Oil> "If you can also give Shy a little cleanup I'd be mighty grateful. I'd do it myself but you folks seem to be in a hurry. But Shy won't like to sit in this mess too much." He says to Heart and the guards as he follows.
  218. [2015-04-25 23:39:40]<Golden_Brass> "... then let's go meet him."
  219. [2015-04-25 23:40:08]<Golden_Brass> "... then let's go meet him," Brass says concerning the professor.
  220. [2015-04-25 23:40:12]* Emerald_Rose frowns. "Well... maybe the professor will know more." She nods to Brass and follows.
  221. [2015-04-25 23:42:51]* DontAskForCookies after a short walk to large metal doors the party is allowed into the DOME! there is a his as the air equalizes between the inside and outside, The inside of the dome is like something out of the past. mostly clean halls with ponies walking around working like nothing has changed with the world. Standing with another guard is a Tall Stallion with Golden mane and a lab coat.
  222. [2015-04-25 23:43:22]* Golden_Brass is surprised at how common blonde manes are...
  223. [2015-04-25 23:43:52]* Golden_Brass ... she also feels terribly out of place in her current attire. A dress would be far more appropriate and fitting. Or maybe a labcoat, depending...
  224. [2015-04-25 23:44:13]* DontAskForCookies the Stallion stands and trots over, a wide smile on his face, an older pony he appears to be in slightly older than middle aged, "Greetings, I am Golden Harvest, Professor Golden harvest, Head researcher here at the HI Biosphere, A pleasure to meet you"
  225. [2015-04-25 23:44:55]* Azshkazar has quit (Quit: Bye)

  227. [2015-04-25 23:45:42]* Bellator goes ground bound once inside, feeling cramped, "Howdy there Harvest, pleasure to make yer acquaintence."
  228. [2015-04-25 23:45:49]* Golden_Brass offers to shake the stallion's hoof.
  229. [2015-04-25 23:46:32]* Azshkazar nods at the scientist
  230. [2015-04-25 23:46:33]<Golden_Brass> "Pleased to meet you. I'm Golden Brass, and your problems are our problems," she says, looking fairly serious.
  231. [2015-04-25 23:46:35]* Nutmeg_Oil realizes Golden Harvest is a stallion. He thought he was a mare. "Pleased to meetcha. Ah'm Nutmeg Oil, mailpony."
  232. [2015-04-25 23:46:38]* DontAskForCookies Accepts any hoof shakes offred his way, "Oh no no, the pleasure is all ours. We hardly have guests here at the Biosphere and rarely have visits been this timely"
  233. [2015-04-25 23:47:49]* DontAskForCookies Harvest smiles to Brass, "Glad to here, we have plenty of them here at our facility, but we also carry the hope for Equestria! It is a shame that such dark times have fallen upon us, but with your help we can pull ourselves back up on our hooves!"
  234. [2015-04-25 23:48:56]* Emerald_Rose smiles to the stallion. "Pleasure to meet you. I'm Emerald. So... uh, I hate to be blunt, but... did you guys discover anything or bring anything new here, that might have caught the undead's attention?"
  235. [2015-04-25 23:50:49]* DontAskForCookies Harvest seems mildly insulted, he pulls out a pair of half moon spectical and cleans them on his coat before donning them on the tip of his muzzle, "Harddly, we have been follwing only the most strict of scientifict methods and proceedures here, safety first. As for outside material none has come in under my watchful eye that I am unaware off"
  236. [2015-04-25 23:51:33]* DontAskForCookies Harvest speeks with a slight Germane accent
  237. [2015-04-25 23:52:12]<Golden_Brass> "Aheh. You'll have to excuse my friend for her straightforwardness, but I think we both have to admit. The circumstances are very dire."
  238. [2015-04-25 23:52:37]<Golden_Brass> "So how can we be of service?"
  239. [2015-04-25 23:54:34]* DontAskForCookies Harvest nods, "Quite, well in any case there is no offense taken. We are nothing if not Proffesional here at teh biosphere. In the case of what you can do for us I feel this topic can wait till after you have cooled your hooves a bit, please you are out guests. feel free to enjoy all the BIosphere has to offer"
  240. [2015-04-25 23:55:23]* DontAskForCookies "Maybe you would like a tour? Perhapse that will put any of your ... companions supspicions at ease if she can look around. there are plenty here who can give it to you, In the mean time We will prepare a feast for dinner tonight! Its only fitting for our saviors"
  241. [2015-04-25 23:56:26]* Golden_Brass smiles to Golden Harvest as she puts her well-experienced bullshit-dar to use.
  242. [2015-04-25 23:57:17]* DontAskForCookies Anyone with a raise on there Intuition check can tell that Harvest is trying to keep the party distracted for some reason, busy with something ells.
  243. [2015-04-25 23:57:45]* Bellator smiles and nods, "Ah wouldn't say no to somethin' to eat."
  244. [2015-04-25 23:57:49]* DontAskForCookies he is also hiding something.
  245. [2015-04-25 23:58:24]<Nutmeg_Oil> "Ah shouldn't dilly-dally too much. Shy is waiting in a pool of zombie muck and ah gotta clean her up. But it sounds pretty good, for later." He looks back out
  246. [2015-04-25 23:58:37]* Emerald_Rose nods to Harvest. "Sorry... just, that many undead gets me nervous. You know? I want to be sure they don't attract something bigger and nastier." She smiles and bows her head.
  247. [2015-04-26 00:00:21]* Golden_Brass hrms.
  248. [2015-04-26 00:00:38]* DontAskForCookies Harvest frowns, "Please, I insist on a tour, at least of the facilities, but if you do not wish to we can offer you a room and access to the lower levels, Im sure our ponies can wash out a few bits of gore from your craft"
  249. [2015-04-26 00:02:42]* Emerald_Rose smiles. "Well, thank you. Maybe later though? I'd like to help out Heart Shoe... if you don't mind?"
  250. [2015-04-26 00:03:26]<Nutmeg_Oil> "That'd be mighty kind of ya." He smiles.
  251. [2015-04-26 00:04:31]* Nutmeg_Oil checks his pocket for a special something.
  252. [2015-04-26 00:05:00]* DontAskForCookies nods, "Very well Miss, I can understand and im sure that Miss Heart will appreciate the help. I do hope you will join us for dinner later, the Kitchen is already workign on preparing the best meal possible". Smiling again he looks to the rest, "I hope the rest of you are interested in a tour?"
  253. [2015-04-26 00:05:09]* DontAskForCookies the special something is there
  254. [2015-04-26 00:05:46]* Nutmeg_Oil looks to see if Risky Fortune is with them
  255. [2015-04-26 00:06:33]* DontAskForCookies Risky is similing, "I would love a tour, nopony from Shikaki will belive I got to see the inside of this place!"
  256. [2015-04-26 00:06:56]* Bellator cocks her head, "Well, Ah'm more interested in gettin' ya'll safe, Ah'm sure all this stuff would just go on over mah head anyway."
  257. [2015-04-26 00:07:45]<Azshkazar> "This is probably my last chance to tour this place before the undead take it over, I
  258. [2015-04-26 00:07:52]<Azshkazar> I'd may as well."
  259. [2015-04-26 00:08:16]* Emerald_Rose smiles to Bellator. "How about we go help Heart Shoe then? I'm sure she'd appreciate the extra hooves." The mare looks for a guard to give them directions.
  260. [2015-04-26 00:08:59]* DontAskForCookies a guard is easily nearby
  261. [2015-04-26 00:09:18]<Nutmeg_Oil> "If Shy is being cared for ah won't mind looking around for a while."
  262. [2015-04-26 00:09:39]* Bellator nods, "Sure thing, Ah can always lend some hooves and wings." she says, following Emerald_Rose
  263. [2015-04-26 00:09:52]* DontAskForCookies Harvest smiles grimly, "Well im SURE we can avoid that eventuallity with your help. You all sound a bit to much like our Miss Heart for my tastes, so grim. After yoru display of heroism we are safe for another night surely, we have held this long we can last long enough for a breif celibration"
  264. [2015-04-26 00:10:31]* Emerald_Rose walks over to the guard and smiles. "Hi there! We'd like to help out Heart Shoe... can you direct us to where we'd find her?"
  265. [2015-04-26 00:11:04]* DontAskForCookies the guard nods and speeks into a radio, after a responce he smiles and leads whoever wishes back outside.
  266. [2015-04-26 00:11:22]* Bellator wishes
  267. [2015-04-26 00:12:46]<Golden_Brass> "Dr. Harvest, I hope I'm not being too forward, but would you mind sharing your assessment of the dome's defensive capability with me?" Brass asks.
  268. [2015-04-26 00:13:03]* Emerald_Rose follows the guard.
  269. [2015-04-26 00:14:41]* DontAskForCookies Harvest escuses himself before leaving the rest of the group in the hooves of a Miss Tera, a Green Unicorn who leads them to the lift and upstairs to what she calles, "The Hab-Floor"
  270. [2015-04-26 00:15:24]* Golden_Brass looks dissatisfied. She has a hunch about this place, and it's making her... worried.
  271. [2015-04-26 00:17:10]* DontAskForCookies Pointing down the hall the chipper scientist seems to follow a script, "And this is the Hab Floor, here we artificially maintain three distinct biomes from all across the globe. The heart of the operation is our cotrol room, located that way just before the pump room and storage where our seed vault is. They are off limits but I will be glad to show you the Habitats"
  272. [2015-04-26 00:18:48]* DontAskForCookies *Naturally Harvest answers with, "Defense is handled by miss Heart who is faimlure with our defensive layout, though I doubt she will share everything, she i a very secretive and serious sort"
  273. [2015-04-26 00:19:40]<Golden_Brass> "But she shares her assessment of the situation with you, yes?"
  274. [2015-04-26 00:20:20]* DontAskForCookies Harvest waves his hoof, "yes yes, she insists on her weekly undates"
  275. [2015-04-26 00:20:49]* DontAskForCookies "Internal security is handled upstairs, she maintains active patrols along the wall 24 hours a day outside"
  276. [2015-04-26 00:21:36]<Golden_Brass> "And... would you say you feel secure right now?" Brass asks.
  277. [2015-04-26 00:21:48]<Golden_Brass> "Not in any immediate or near-future danger, I mean."
  278. [2015-04-26 00:22:27]* DontAskForCookies Harvest smiles, "As safe as one can be in this strange world we live in, safer still for the walls of teh Biosphere to protect us"
  279. [2015-04-26 00:22:45]* Golden_Brass smiles back, a touch wanly...
  280. [2015-04-26 00:23:15]<Golden_Brass> "Thank you for your time, and I'm sure this tour will be lovely," Brass says.
  281. [2015-04-26 00:24:12]* DontAskForCookies with a sucesful Inuition roll its obvious... either he is either dilusional when it comes to security of the biosphere or crazy.
  282. [2015-04-26 00:24:22]<DontAskForCookies> *back to the tour
  283. [2015-04-26 00:25:14]<DontAskForCookies> Terra Smiles, "We have three invoroments we maintain here at the Biosphere, Arid, Tropical, and Temporate, which would you like to start with?"
  284. [2015-04-26 00:26:38]* Golden_Brass looks to Nutmeg_Oil and Azshkazar as they walk along, worry in her eyes...
  285. [2015-04-26 00:27:18]<Golden_Brass> "Er, Temperate, if you please," Brass directs somewhat absent-mindedly.
  286. [2015-04-26 00:27:23]<Nutmeg_Oil> "Tropical? Ain't that something. How do you manage that?"
  287. [2015-04-26 00:28:27]* Nutmeg_Oil glances at Golden_Brass and nods
  288. [2015-04-26 00:28:49]* DontAskForCookies Terra leads the way towards the Temperate biome, "The same we we do the others, advanced weather manipulation, all artificial of course, no pegasus magic needed. We control humidity, temperature, and all other contributing factors, Ah here we are, please follow me inside", she steps into the temperate room.
  289. [2015-04-26 00:29:18]<DontAskForCookies> Inside are MASSIVE produce!
  290. [2015-04-26 00:29:19]<Golden_Brass> "I think the good doctor is a bit oblivious towards the current state of affairs above..." Brass whispers to the other two.
  291. [2015-04-26 00:29:27]* Nutmeg_Oil glances around, trying to figure out if they were being watched.
  292. [2015-04-26 00:29:41]<DontAskForCookies> Pumpkins larger than a pony, Tomatos as big as a beach ball, Carrots you could use as a floatation device, and more!
  293. [2015-04-26 00:31:58]* DontAskForCookies Those who make a notice check on the tour note that the guide is more focused on her speech than watching them, workers tend teh plants and as far as any other observation go there is the ocasional camera scaning the halls.
  294. [2015-04-26 00:32:53]* Nutmeg_Oil walks more slowly and whispers to the others. "This ain't like ponies in siege oughta act. Something smells weird... and there's cameras too."
  295. [2015-04-26 00:33:55]<Azshkazar> "Maybe Heart can tell us what their deal is when the tour is over." Azshkazar whispers back.
  296. [2015-04-26 00:34:02]* DontAskForCookies the mare continues with talk about how dificult it is to maintain them and how much work and science gos into it, she also comments on how impressive the produce are, "At full functinality we can turn over a full harvest in a week, from seed to this size or greater! Our hope is to share this technology with all of equestria!"
  297. [2015-04-26 00:34:27]* Nutmeg_Oil still is impressed by the produce there. "How do ya get'em so big?"
  298. [2015-04-26 00:36:13]* DontAskForCookies Terra smiles as she leads the way to the next biome, "With our own in house advancments in the feild of Agriculture, The greats of which were pionereed by our own golden harvest. Hist techniques can make even the most hostile of inviroments able to host life, here in these ideal conditions his methods produce prodigious results"
  299. [2015-04-26 00:37:39]* DontAskForCookies steping across teh hall your led into the Arid Biome, inside are more crops... however the vast majority of them are in fact not massive but appear to be just average feilds of Corn.
  300. [2015-04-26 00:38:30]<Azshkazar> "So these plants are all freakishly huge because Harvest decided they should be. Okay..."
  301. [2015-04-26 00:39:17]* Golden_Brass stays quiet and observes for the time being.
  302. [2015-04-26 00:39:55]* Nutmeg_Oil whispers to the others. "Do they want to stall us or lead us someplace? This Harvest colt can't be blind about them dead."
  303. [2015-04-26 00:40:21]* DontAskForCookies Risky asks, "Why are these plants not so large as the others?"
  304. [2015-04-26 00:40:52]<Golden_Brass> "You heard the answers he gave my questions..." Brass says to Nutmeg.
  305. [2015-04-26 00:41:37]* DontAskForCookies Terra looks over the corn, "This crop.. is not being subjected to our standard enrichment proceedure, due to lack of materials since we were cut off from the rest of the world we have had to cut back a bit, This is actual a Diffrent experiment on genetically altered Seeds designed to endure harsh enviroments and grow quickly"
  306. [2015-04-26 00:41:56]* DontAskForCookies Terra shrugs, "A leap forward for sure but not nearly as productive as our other breakthroughs"
  307. [2015-04-26 00:42:14]<Nutmeg_Oil> "He might not be all right in the head. If this place has some dead-proof power, I ain't seeing it." He whispers back.
  308. [2015-04-26 00:43:55]* DontAskForCookies On a sucess the pony notices the strange metal objects spread out between the crops
  309. [2015-04-26 00:44:20]<Golden_Brass> "What sort of materials have you been cut-off from, if you don't mind me asking?" Brass asks.
  310. [2015-04-26 00:44:20]* DontAskForCookies small domes no higher than half way up your leg
  311. [2015-04-26 00:44:59]* Nutmeg_Oil tries to look more closely without calling attention to it.
  312. [2015-04-26 00:45:33]* DontAskForCookies Terra answers as she leads you towards the next biome, "Essintaial Power conductors for our more tempermental equipment, this way please"
  313. [2015-04-26 00:47:47]* DontAskForCookies "And this is our last stop, our Tropical room, here you can see bannano, Coconut, and Co-co seeds all here along with other plants useful for medical properties"
  314. [2015-04-26 00:50:20]<Nutmeg_Oil> "What are these gizmos on the field?"
  315. [2015-04-26 00:52:54]* DontAskForCookies Terra follows his Gaze, "Oh, those are our TOFU's, our greatests acheivment and the product of Harvets. they are the soil enrichers I mentioned. they both monitor the soil and maintain a high level of high end nutritional additives that boost health and growth".
  316. [2015-04-26 00:54:31]<DontAskForCookies> *Harvest
  317. [2015-04-26 00:54:46]<DontAskForCookies> *Harvests work
  318. [2015-04-26 00:55:35]<Golden_Brass> "When was the last harvest?" Brass asks.
  319. [2015-04-26 00:56:31]* DontAskForCookies Terra smiles, "The last harvest? That would be Just over a week ago. These produce you see here are almost ready for the next one which is schedules in a few short days"
  320. [2015-04-26 00:58:43]* Nutmeg_Oil sighs. "Alright, this' all fine and dandy, and ah'm impressed with this place. But what about the dead outside?" He taps his hoof, getting impatient. "Unless there's some zombie shootin' plant here, it can't be safe like this. Why's your boss so calm?"
  321. [2015-04-26 00:59:19]* Golden_Brass winces a little, but Nutmeg's gonna' say what Nutmeg's gonna' say...
  322. [2015-04-26 00:59:29]* DontAskForCookies Terra looks suprised at the outburst, "Im sorry what?"
  323. [2015-04-26 01:01:38]* DontAskForCookies Azshkazar Senses the room, each of the TOFUs ping on her magical senses, each one a font of power, all out none in. They are not being powerd but are in fact powering all the devices attached to them, magical energy flows from the TOFUs directly into the soil beneath them, the same energy emits from the plants, the room GLOWS with the energy.
  324. [2015-04-26 01:03:42]<Nutmeg_Oil> "Ah came here 'cuz miss Fortune over there was worried about y'all, and then we meet a graveyard worth of zombies on your doorstep. Don't take me wrong, what you're doing here is great and ah wouldn't mind spending days learning here. But it's a strange time for a stroll, dontcha think?"
  325. [2015-04-26 01:03:59]* Nutmeg_Oil looks at the mare seriously, but not menacingly.
  326. [2015-04-26 01:05:05]<Azshkazar> "There's something off about these TOFUs, I'll have to ask Golden Harvest about them later." Azshkazar whispers to Brass
  327. [2015-04-26 01:05:14]* Golden_Brass is... rather taken aback by how /unsubtle/ all these ponies she's signed-on with are.
  328. [2015-04-26 01:05:21]* DontAskForCookies the mare holds up a clipboard almost defensivly over her muzzle as she adverts her eyes, "Im sorr... I was just asked go give you a tour is all, it used to be my favorite thing to do before everything changed, im sorry. I dont know... he is just very sure of himself, teh work is always first. Everyone knows Heart will get us through this"
  329. [2015-04-26 01:05:40]<Golden_Brass> "... right. I'll try and wheedle something out of him," Brass says back to Ash.
  330. [2015-04-26 01:07:11]<Azshkazar> "I'm not sure how, but the TOFUs themselves are producing a ton of energy." Azshkazar replies in a hushed tone.
  331. [2015-04-26 01:08:38]<Golden_Brass> "... I see," Brass mutters.
  332. [2015-04-26 01:08:45]<Nutmeg_Oil> "Look, ma'am. Ah'm just worried about y'all." He says to the mare.
  333. [2015-04-26 01:09:03]<Golden_Brass> "I don't suppose... this energy wouldn't attract undead, would it?" Brass asks Ash.
  334. [2015-04-26 01:10:19]* DontAskForCookies Terra lowers her cliboard, "I apperciate that... im sorry, I dont get much contact with ponies outside of my lab, and the most then is just the occasional toor to guests who visit... Im much better when im on a script"
  335. [2015-04-26 01:11:07]<Azshkazar> soil enrich
  336. [2015-04-26 01:11:21]<Azshkazar> *redact that*
  337. [2015-04-26 01:11:56]* Nutmeg_Oil raises an eyebrow. "How 'bout friends? Don't ya know anypony outside? Ah'm a mailpony, ah could send them your message if ya want."
  338. [2015-04-26 01:13:13]* DontAskForCookies The mare look a bit distraught as she shakes her head, "None... well none that are not here, I dont know what happed to anypony ells... outside that is". It becomes more obious to those who passed the Intuition check that this mare is feeling more and more guilty about something.
  339. [2015-04-26 01:16:16]* DontAskForCookies Terra turns to leave, "I think I should show you back downstairs now"
  340. [2015-04-26 01:16:43]<Azshkazar> "Yep." Azshkazar replies to Brass
  341. [2015-04-26 01:17:01]<Golden_Brass> "... shit." Brass looks extremely grim.
  342. [2015-04-26 01:17:08]<Golden_Brass> Like Azshkazar just broke her favorite snowglobe.
  343. [2015-04-26 01:18:18]* Nutmeg_Oil rubs his mane. "Have ya ever visited someplace else?" He asks Terra.
  344. [2015-04-26 01:18:28]<Azshkazar> "We should talk to Heart about this before we confront Harvest. Make sure we have her on our side before we find out if he's completely lost it."
  345. [2015-04-26 01:19:01]<Golden_Brass> "Definitely," Brass says.
  346. [2015-04-26 01:19:39]<Golden_Brass> "Thank you for your time, Miss Terra, but we'd like to return to the surface now," Brass says to their tour guide.
  347. [2015-04-26 01:19:59]* DontAskForCookies Terra shakes her head, "Not in Decades, even before the bombs I stayed here, my job demanded it:
  348. [2015-04-26 01:20:01]<DontAskForCookies> '"
  349. [2015-04-26 01:20:12]* DontAskForCookies Terra nods, "Yes of course, this way to the lift
  350. [2015-04-26 01:20:14]<DontAskForCookies> "
  351. [2015-04-26 01:20:53]<Azshkazar> "It's been very informative. Thank you for sharing your insights." Azshkazar says to Terra
  352. [2015-04-26 01:22:38]<Nutmeg_Oil> "Ya could take some vacations. There are some nice places to visit out there." Nutmeg says. "Ah do transportations, it's safe too." He pauses. "Being stuck in a place for life ain't a good way to live." He says, with a distant gaze.
  353. [2015-04-26 01:22:44]* Nutmeg_Oil follows along.
  354. [2015-04-26 01:24:41]* DontAskForCookies Meanwhile outside Heart has put Rose and Bellator to work searching the wall for any sighns of it giving way
  355. [2015-04-26 01:26:48]<DontAskForCookies> Bellator and Rose do not notice anything about the wall beyond teh same stress they saw before, but Bellator dose notice that while some of the rilfe ponies on the wall carry extra magazines of ammo none of the rest of the guards are, ammo shortages?
  356. [2015-04-26 01:28:00]<Golden_Brass> "... this is bad for the region, Ash," Brass tells the unicorn. "There are going to be food shortages all over if they aren't able to supply."
  357. [2015-04-26 01:28:53]* Bellator hovers a ponies height off the ground, examing the wall, "Ah wonder why the rest of the guards ain't so well equipped, can't imagine bein' stingy now." she says, looking down at Emerald_Rose
  358. [2015-04-26 01:30:04]<Azshkazar> "If we just leave a few, it won't attract the undead, but they aren't going to be able to supply if they all get eaten by zombies either." Azshkazar tells Brass
  359. [2015-04-26 01:30:18]* Emerald_Rose thinks for a moment. "Hrm... which guards?"
  360. [2015-04-26 01:30:39]<Golden_Brass> "What about that corn? It wasn't oversized. What was up with that?" Brass asks Ash.
  361. [2015-04-26 01:31:25]* Bellator "The ones on the wall have a whole heap of ammo, but the rest don't." she says, "Seems like ya'd want all hooves on deck at a time like this."
  362. [2015-04-26 01:32:15]<Azshkazar> "I guess Harvest hasn't gotten around to messing with them yet? I didn't sense any TOFUs by them though."
  363. [2015-04-26 01:32:21]* Emerald_Rose thinks for a moment. "Let's go bring this up to Heart. If the guards are hording ammo, that should be something she'd want to know." Emerald sets off to go report in to Heart.
  364. [2015-04-26 01:32:36]* Bellator follows above her
  365. [2015-04-26 01:33:19]<Azshkazar> "Just about all the plants but the corn were soaking the power right up."
  366. [2015-04-26 01:33:36]* Golden_Brass hrms.
  367. [2015-04-26 01:35:39]<Golden_Brass> "Maybe there was something-- right. Different experiment," Brass says. "Have to follow-up on that after we sort this TOFU business out..."
  368. [2015-04-26 01:35:57]<Golden_Brass> "Alright. Let's go see the others, yeah?" Brass asks.
  369. [2015-04-26 01:37:47]* DontAskForCookies heart waits outside for anyone who wants to talk to her
  370. [2015-04-26 01:38:10]* DontAskForCookies she is talking with the Camo clad pony
  371. [2015-04-26 01:38:10]<Azshkazar> "Or maybe they're powered by Death's minions children and the ones outside are only here to rescue their babies? Hopefully harvest will tell us himself. Yeah, let's go see them."
  372. [2015-04-26 01:38:32]* Golden_Brass goes to reunite with the party. She just gets info from Terra about the corn genetics project later on, when she has a spare moment.
  373. [2015-04-26 01:38:32]<Nutmeg_Oil> "How isolated are these ponies, if they ship their food all over the place?" He rubs his muzzle. "Are they sending their shipments past the Gloms?"
  374. [2015-04-26 01:38:55]* Bellator nudges Emerald_Rose, "Ya talk to her, ponies ain't normally as forthcoming with me." she whispers to her
  375. [2015-04-26 01:38:57]<Golden_Brass> "No, no. The shipments stopped months ago," Brass reminds Nutmeg.
  376. [2015-04-26 01:39:07]* DontAskForCookies a friendly pony inside can point towards one of the offices if asked, Terras
  377. [2015-04-26 01:39:34]* Emerald_Rose smiles and nods. "Well, hopefully." She walks forward and waits for Heart to be finished up with the Camo pony.
  378. [2015-04-26 01:39:36]<Nutmeg_Oil> "But they act like it's all the same. Who are they growing this food for?"
  379. [2015-04-26 01:40:45]<Golden_Brass> "We'll ask," Brass says. "But first, let's chat with Care Heart and Bellator and Emerald..."
  380. [2015-04-26 01:41:54]* DontAskForCookies Heart notes the appearance of Emerald and nods to the Camo pony, a orange coated mare who takes in Emerald Rose, "Thank you for your time Lieutenate, and again as soon as we square things with the Proffessor we will pay for the mail pony to take you and your message to Globe out of the valley. Your help will be appreciated, and rewarded"
  381. [2015-04-26 01:42:29]* DontAskForCookies the Cammo clad pony tips her hat and turns to leave, once gone Heart gives emerald her full atttention, "Yes, how did the sweep go?"
  382. [2015-04-26 01:45:15]* Emerald_Rose nods. "Well... the wall looks fine but... there are guards who are stocking up ammo. Seems everyone doesn't have even stores."
  383. [2015-04-26 01:46:34]* Bellator nods from above
  384. [2015-04-26 01:48:25]* DontAskForCookies Heart Shoe sighs and nods, "Our amory has dwindled over the years, and with news like it is from outside we are not getting any resupply soon. We are just trying to make what we have stretch till we can till we can pass the torch"
  385. [2015-04-26 01:48:29]<DontAskForCookies> torch
  386. [2015-04-26 01:50:11]<Emerald_Rose> "So... you're putting everything on the wall and limiting the other guards ammo stores? What happens if you get attacked from elsewhere?"
  387. [2015-04-26 01:51:30]* DontAskForCookies Heartshoe cocks a brow, "Attacked from ellswhere? I dont see any other threats beyond what is on the other side of that wall"
  388. [2015-04-26 01:54:10]* Emerald_Rose cants her head. "That's the obvious threat... but if they are attracting this much undead, other things are going to come. Things that aren't limited to walking on the ground..." The mare trails off. "What do you think it is? We can help... trust us. You're a good pony. Please."
  389. [2015-04-26 02:01:04]* DontAskForCookies The mare looks suddenly more tired, heart sighs, "Well I tell ya, havent been much farther than this vally and the road out of the Gaia project for a while now... but I hear talk from our traders, about what folks say is out there. My ponies are strcong, and the ones who are coming to help us are stronger... but in teh mean time, we sure could use some help"
