FoE RPG G0 - #043 Salvage Farm: Illumination

[21:23]<SpiritOfFate>	Group 0: *Epitaph* - Session #43 starts now
[21:23]<SpiritOfFate>	===================================
[21:30]<SpiritOfFate>	Tamara advances, warning her troops to stay behind the cover of the factory. Gabrielle has the lives of all slaves within the clutches of her talon and calls for the end of this attack. Tin Cone, almost reaching Ignis' hiding, turns back. Meanwhile, Sotho's lone advance is met with a spray of plasma from the third taskmaster.
[21:32]<SpiritOfFate>	It's still raining but not as much as it was during the night. The sun begins to rise as well.
[21:46]?	Hawkeye grits her teeth. Nnnnope. A kind voice in the back of her head says that holding hostages is the lowest form of cowardice. The sniper mare crams her hat firmly onto her head, and takes a deep breath. Then Hawkeye breaks cover, and leaps off the roof to land in the mud. She tumbles forward across the rough ground, adding mud to the blood already coating her mane and body. "NOT ON MAH WATCH!"...
[21:46]?	Hawkeye ...she bellows, skidding sideways in the mud as she whirls... and throws a brilliant green plasma grenade right into the center of the griffons huddled around their leader. It beeps, and glows brilliantly as Hawkeye spins again and dashes for cover, diving behind a pile of rubbish.
[21:52]<SpiritOfFate>	The bright blast knockis the gathering of griffin away, two of them melting into goo. Gabrielle is sent backwards, the controller flying and losing itself among the garbage. She tries to stand, covered in blood and sizzling wounds.
[21:53]?	Wintergreen runs forward and back into the fray, positioning herself behind the mass of ponies. Reaching into her packs, she pulls out a healing potion, watching and waiting for somepony close to need it...
[21:54]?	Ignis hears that pretty firework and goes out to see...whatever blew the griffins off their panties.
[21:56]<SpiritOfFate>	Some of the zebra and mudponies got wounded in the fire and explosions before, but they don't seem to need immediate care as the others before.
[22:11]?	Royal_Lace nearly curses as she feels her efforts slow down as she nears the compleation of her task. Pausing a moment she leans over a nearby mic and makes a breif broadcast. "Merenary Forces, Stand down and disarm. We are here for the liberation of the slaves, comply and live!"
[22:14]<SpiritOfFate>	The griffin look at each other and the field of bodies around them. They drop their guns, except for Gabrielle.
[22:18]?	Royal_Lace smiles at what she sees through the cameras and quickly disables the turrets, wanting nothing more than to follow through with her promis of survivial for there surrender.
[22:22]?	Sotho grunts and looks straight into the eyes of the taskmaster, bolting up and laying down a volley of three strikes with his ceastus, rage boiling in his veins.
[22:30]<SpiritOfFate>	Sotho's cestus burns through his leather armor and meets his leg with a loud crack, then again to his face, then his hoof buries itself into his chest. The taskmaster's eyes widen and he collapses into a pool of blood.
[22:41]?	The_Batmare flies over the house, seeing Gabrielle still standing and willing to fight. She darts down and gets in two of her four blows with her boxing socks, bits of lightning arcing around her.
[22:41]<SpiritOfFate>	The griffinness falls back, knocked out.
[22:43]<The_Batmare>	"Good. Stay down, meanie."
[22:44]?	Hawkeye pokes her head up from behind the rubbish. "Good one, half-pint!" she calls. "Now see if y'all can find that nasty re-mote she was holdin' afore Ah blew her buddies up."
[22:45]?	The_Batmare looks back at Hawkeye. "Why not use the key?"
[22:46]?	Hawkeye looks poleaxed. "Wait... y'all have a key?" she says. "Dammit! Ah wish somepony had told me that... Nah, we still need the re-mote, just so it don't fall into unkind hooves while we're takin' the collars off."
[22:46]<SpiritOfFate>	Tamara calls to her team. "Locksmiths, go help them."
[22:47]?	The_Batmare starts looking for the remote. "Kay! Miss Pretty Pony has the key!"
[22:48]<Hawkeye>	"You go find miss Prett- Miss Lace, and Ah'll find the re-mote," Hawkeye says. "And somepony find Doodad before Buck or Sotho get their hooves on him! Ah made a promise to keep that indbred son of a swamp stoat alive until Knick Knack got some words in."
[22:48]?	Sotho looks over the dead taskmasters body and steps over it. "Doodad! I call on you once again! Fight me in bare hoofed combat to prove your worth!"
[22:50]<SpiritOfFate>	The house is silent.
[22:50]?	Sotho starts to trot through the home, looking to make sure of enemies
[22:50]?	Royal_Lace looks over the screens and beams before broadcasting again, "We did it!"
[22:51]<SpiritOfFate>	Tamara and the locksmiths make their way to the Slavehouse
[22:51]?	Hawkeye begins looking through the rubbish where she thinks she saw the remote detonator. Can't have it going off while ponies are freeing the slaves. There's not a stockpile of extra hooves lying around.
[22:52]?	The_Batmare flies over to Hawkeye. "Um... where is Miss Pretty Pony?"
[22:52]<SpiritOfFate>	Knick Knack dashes towards her old home.
[22:52]?	Hawkeye waves a hoof back at the garage. "She's in there, though door's locked," she says, moving aside a motorwagon wheel. "Fly in through the winder' on the second floor."
[22:53]<SpiritOfFate>	Knick Knack glances at the bodies of the griffin, and look away, making just going forward.
[22:53]?	Royal_Lace begins taking her time bringing the sprite bots back online to set them to patrole the scrapyard.
[22:53]?	Wintergreen trots forward, looking to and fro for ponies or zerbras in need of healing.
[22:53]?	Hawkeye looks up and shouts to Wintergreen. "HEY! Make sure Knack gets there safe an' Sotho don't kill Doodad, will y'all please!"
[22:54]?	Wintergreen stops as she hears Hawkeye yell. With a nod, she follows after Knick Knack!
[22:55]?	Sotho trots up the stairs, still looking for Doodad. "I will not kill you. I have been requested not to. But I wish for you to prove your worth, how far will you go to protect your honor?"
[22:55]?	The_Batmare flies up through the window and in to see Royal_Lace. "Miss Pretty Pony? Can I have the key to the collars?"
[22:56]?	Royal_Lace looks back and smiles, pating the "batmare" on the head like a little filly, "Of course dear, its just in my bags in the corner. Here, let me fetch it for you". Levetating out the key she floats it to Firefly, "There you are sweetie"
[22:57]<SpiritOfFate>	Buck trots slowly to the unconscious Gabrielle. His are eyes split between rage and tears for a moment, but it fades under the emptiness.
[22:58]?	Ignis whistles, eyeing around. "Well...show is over.Time to check on...something..." He sets course towards the scrapyard...to check...on what was once home.
[22:58]?	The_Batmare grumbles as she gets patted on the head. "I am the night." She takes the key and nods. "Thank you, citizen." She flies out of the garage and heads to the slavehouse.
[22:58]<SpiritOfFate>	Hawkeye sees the glint of the controller under the dawn light
[22:59]?	Wintergreen trottrottrots! "Sotho,"
[22:59]?	Hawkeye picks up the scorched remote, puts the trigger guard back on it, and tucks it into her saddlebag before walking over to stand next to Buck. "Hey," she says, covered in mud and blood. "Revenge... ain't all y'thought it would be, is it..."
[23:00]<Wintergreen>	"Sotho," she calls. "call back where you are! Need to make sure you don't get yourself killed!"
[23:02]?	Royal_Lace wrests controle of a single sprite bot and zooms past the others as they mobilize through the hole in the wall in search of the mud pony leader. Finding her the sprite bot bobs in scircles around her excitedly and spins. "We did it! I cant belive it but we did it and with so few casualties!"
[23:02]<SpiritOfFate>	Buck rubs the blood from his face and shakes his head. "...not like this."
[23:04]<SpiritOfFate>	Tamare smiles to the spritebot. "And that's all thanks to you. Harnessing their defenses was a great plan."
[23:05]?	Hawkeye takes her sodden hat off and puts it on Buck's head, then steps closer and tucks her head under Buck's chin as she leans on him. "Nothin' y'all think about that much, day an' night, for so long, is ever gonna measure up to how it was in your head, Buck," she says softly. "Bitter as it is, it's a kinda closure, at least."
[23:06]?	Royal_Lace the sprite bot nods in the air, "Thank you very much miss, I know the original play was to knock them out entirely but luck was with me more than anything. Saw the chance to do some good and acted upon it, just as anypony would in my position. I am nopony special"
[23:07]?	The_Batmare meets up with the locksmiths at the slavehouse. "Somepony want the key to some collars?"
[23:08]<SpiritOfFate>	Buck nuzzles Hawkeye. His head tries to catch up with all that happened today. "...so, this is it? Where do we go from here?"
[23:11]?	Hawkeye sighs. "Ah don't know, sugarcube. Sit back an' take a breather. Pick up some gear. Then off to help Firefly's folks. Ah owe these ponies that much, at least." The sniper sits down and takes her hat back. "You got your own trail to blaze though. And y'all don't have, or need, anypony else to tell you where to go or what to do no more. Y'all are free for real now. No chains left to hold you...
[23:11]?	Hawkeye ...down." She half-smiles. "And from what Ah saw in the zebra village, y'all got some decisions to make fer yourself."
[23:12]<SpiritOfFate>	Knick Knack trots into the main house. Her eyes meet the widened blank stare of the green taskmaster, lying in a pool of blood. She gasps and covers her mouth
[23:14]<SpiritOfFate>	Sotho is met with a sentry turret on the hallway, it opens fire at him
[23:15]?	Sotho grunts as the bullets pellet him, he growls, readying up to trike the turret.
[23:17]?	Wintergreen arrives shortly after, wincing as she looks to the bloody body. "Knick Knack...?"
[23:18]?	The_Batmare drops off the key with the locksmiths to the collars and heads back to Royal_Lace. "Anything else need to be done?"
[23:19]?	Sotho launches three strikes against the turret, his anger welling up again
[23:20]<SpiritOfFate>	The  locksmiths gladly accept the key,  having already managed to free one of the terrified slaves. They cower away from the headless body on the corner of the slavehouse
[23:20]?	Royal_Lace looks arround at the terminals, "Its hard to tell from here dear but I think most everything is under controle. If you like you can start unblocking the dooor. OH! there also is something I think you will like to see in the gerage". Clicking over to a camera there she points at a screen, "Every seen a robot that big before?"
[23:20]<SpiritOfFate>	 Chroma Cure peeks out of the infirmary, seeing the battlefield outside.
[23:22]?	The_Batmare squeals in delight, clapping her boxing socks together. "Oooooh! Ooooh! I get to have Bat-bot!"
[23:22]<SpiritOfFate>	The turret gets smashed and fizzles out.
[23:23]?	Sotho looks around again. "Doodad! Reveal yourself! Your battle is lost, all that is left is to surrender yourself! We will not kill you!"
[23:23]?	Royal_Lace chuckles, "Sure, sure. Now if you would please check the door. I would like to be able to leave without puting undue strain on my magic". Looking back to the computers she grabs controle of another sprite bot and seeks out Ignis, bobbing up to him with the tiny robot.
[23:23]<SpiritOfFate>	Knick Knaco stumbles away, heaving as she looks back at Wintergreen
[23:24]?	Ignis fetches the iron toy. "What? Haven't you got everything on your hooves yet?"
[23:24]?	Wintergreen frowns, moving to the mare's side and patting her back. "Knick Knack, we should go... it isn't safe here."
[23:25]?	The_Batmare nods to Lace and starts to move the stuff away from the door.
[23:25]<SpiritOfFate>	"Decisions... huh..." Buck says, thinking back at the village.
[23:26]?	Royal_Lace speaks through the device, "Im just checking on everypony Ignis, saw you wondering about and thought I would stop to ask how things went on your side. I havent found everypony yet and it was hard to see everything from the monitors".
[23:26]?	Hawkeye nods. "Yep. Now, Ah'm gonna..." she spots the door opening. "Hey, stay right where you are," she warns the pony peeping out of the infirmary. "If you ain't gonna cause a ruckus, y'all got nothin' to fear."
[23:27]?	Ignis strokes his chin. "Prety much nothing to report, Lace...and...next time, would you mind leaving some for me? Its sorta...well, disappointing..."
[23:27]<SpiritOfFate>	"... no... no!" Knick Knack shakes her head, facing away from the body and forcing herself to cross to the main hall. He shakes as she steps on a pool of blood, but keeps moving forward.
[23:28]<SpiritOfFate>	Sotho hears the noise of something falling on one of the doors of the halllway
[23:29]?	Royal_Lace taps her chin, "well... if you feel so cheated, how about a fight? I have a good number of these bots under controle. Im sure no one will mind if there saviors have a bit of fun with one. Besides, I think I can take you with one of these beauties"
[23:31]?	Ignis deadpans. "Are you really suggesting we waste valluable material to fulfill some vanity desire in order to stroke my ego?"
[23:31]?	The_Batmare giggles as she hears the conversation, finishing moving the stuff in front of the door. "Finished!"
[23:32]?	Royal_Lace the sprite bot makes an attempt at patting the dragon on the sholder with the barrel of its magical energy weapon. "There there, I just though you have been a good sport through all this. You desierve to let go on something"
[23:32]?	Wintergreen frowns, following behind Knick Knack. "I'm sorry Knick Knack..."
[23:32]?	Royal_Lace looks over her sholder, "Oh good work dear, look in my bag if you like I think I still have a sparkle cola if you like one"
[23:33]?	Ignis snickers. "Wrong answer...and here I was thinking you were an dragoness underneath that lousy hue of fur...my mistake."
[23:34]?	The_Batmare nods to Lace. "Thank you Miss Pretty Pony!" She hums and goes through the bags, pulling out a sparkle cola, opening the door and heading to the factory to look at the robot.
[23:37]?	Royal_Lace shrugs back in the controle room, "Afraid not, just a squishy pony my friend. Thought I would make the offer"
[23:39]?	Ignis shows his tongue. "Should have gone with it like a proud, sass-weaving reptile...don't sweat about it too much, Lace...I'm alright...there'll always be some more jerks to punt tommorow, no shortage of that on the wastes."
[23:42]?	Royal_Lace bobs and weaves in the air around Ignis, "Unfortunately I fear you are correct. But after today I feel we have made a small slice of the land just a bit more bearable. Besides, think of all the loot your sure to get first pick at!"
[23:42]?	Royal_Lace tries to appeal to his inner dragony... ness, whatever it was Ignis had.
[23:43]?	Ignis nods nonchalantly. "Yeah, yeah... there's that..."
[23:43]<SpiritOfFate>	Knick Knack cleans her hoof on the carpet. "...it's... that's... I'm..." She tries to gives a reassuring smile to Wintergreen, which only shows how frazzled she is. She turns to the stairs. "Dad... I'm home..."
[23:45]?	Royal_Lace "heh, remember when you found one of these before we escaped Ignis? you were so eager to gut it". Lace turns the bot and decides to test out the mew on a lark, calling out with each shot as she tries for some cans nearby. "Zap! Zap! Zap!"
[23:46]?	Ignis sighs. "As long as those silly spirits don't take over or something...there's something on those that just sets me off..." He laughs as he sees her manuevering the bot. "Can't blame me...being chained, all work and no fun...you had your share of that as well."
[23:46]?	Wintergreen sighs, shaking her head. "I'm so, so sorry...but we're here for you. Always."
[23:47]?	Hawkeye heads toward the building she doesn't actually know is the infirmary, her rifle at the ready but not pointed at anypony. "Just step out of there nice and easy, miss..." she says to Chroma Cure.
[23:49]?	Royal_Lace misses horribly with eacy shot, "heh, I suppose I did... but there is more to do, so much more"
[23:49]?	The_Batmare flies into the factory and starts flying around the robot, giggling like a mad mare.
[23:50]<SpiritOfFate>	"I'm on your side!" Chroma says, stepping out
[23:51]?	Ignis fetches the robot and sits down with it, cradling it like a foal...one big iron foal with machine guns...or something like it. "Speaking of which...what are your plans now? You don't seem much like the outlandish, adventurous sorta pony...no offense."
[23:52]?	Sotho heads towards the noise
[23:53]?	Hawkeye lowers her rifle. "Ah, all right, if you say so. Ah don't know you from Celestia, but if y'all are on our side, we got a few wounded here, and a few of these mercs are going to need medical attention too." She sighs. "Miz Green, y'all are wearing off on me," the mare mutters. "The rest of y'all, pick up them weapons and di-vest the mercs of any other ordinance they have, and we'll have us a...
[23:53]?	Hawkeye ...nice little sit down until we decide what we're gonna do."
[23:55]?	Royal_Lace humphs indignantly,"Do not mistake my grace and dignity for a lack of dedication or drive. I beive i have proven Im willing to get my hooves dirty to help others. As for now my plans stand to help save Fireflies parents"
[23:55]<SpiritOfFate>	The noise Sotho heard comes from behind a door.
[23:55]?	Sotho opens the door slowly.
[23:56]<SpiritOfFate>	It's locked
[23:56]?	Ignis knocks her screen. "That's not what I said, its just that...after all of that, I meant...after there isn't no more adventuring to be done, what do you plan to do to settle down?"
[23:57]?	Hawkeye begins wrangling the zebras and mudponies to collect all the weaponry and such from the mercs, keeping careful eye on the mercs and making sure that 1. they don't try anything, and 2. They are treated with a measure of kindness. They aren't the slavers after all, just the enforcers.
[23:58]?	Sotho punches the door
[23:58]<SpiritOfFate>	"Ah, I'll go help them!" Chroma dashes off to the landfill
[23:59]?	Sotho punches the door once more
[00:00]?	Royal_Lace pauses a moment, "To be honest my current plans fall along the line of continueing my studies while traveling with Sotho back to reunite with his family. beyond these goals and finding a peaceful place to live I do not know"
[00:00]<SpiritOfFate>	Knick Knack's eyes widen and she dashes upstairs.
[00:01]?	Wintergreen follows after Knick Knack! At least she can make sure the mare doesn't hurt herself.
[00:01]?	Ignis smiles faintly. "So, miss grace and dignity makes plans as she goes...so much for forethought, heh." The dragon giggles.
[00:02]<SpiritOfFate>	The door lock busts and it swings open.
[00:03]?	Sotho looks inside. "Doodad, are in here?"
[00:05]?	Royal_Lace "Well Its hard to plan to far ahead when so much is up in the air. Also I will admit that im still getting used to being able to make my own plans. Freedome is new for me as well".
[00:06]<SpiritOfFate>	Doodad is on the other side, shaking, holding a hunting shotgun at Sotho's general direction. "S-stand back!" He is sweating heavily.
[00:07]?	Sotho slowly starts to take off his Caestus. "You have lost Doodad, surrender. I am not here to kil you." He says
[00:08]?	Ignis sighs. "Guess so...once things seemed a lot clearer...now, everything seems so..." The dragon's gaze seems oddly vacant. "Say, you ever had friends before...who...ended up being not so much?"
[00:09]?	Firefly continues to poke around the robot, trying to see if it has a cockpit.
[00:10]?	Royal_Lace "... what do you mean?"
[00:11]?	Ignis shakes his head, his smile waning a bit. "Nevermind...must be a dragon thing..." For some reason, he seems to clutch the bot closer to himself as he could.
[00:11]<SpiritOfFate>	The giant robot seems to have the framework for it, but it's not fully built
[00:13]?	Firefly has plans. Wonderful, wonderful plans! She leaves the factory... she has work to do...
[00:14]<SpiritOfFate>	Doodad grits his teeth. "You've gone t-too far, colt. Way too far."
[00:15]?	Royal_Lace "To be honest I had very few ponies I would call firends before arriving here. Scertainly I had co workers at the mannor that I was raised at that were friendly enough but I feel as if many of them avoided me as I had a scertain... reputation for trouble. Part of the reason why I was sold to the group who brought us here"
[00:15]?	Sotho grits his teeth. "Says the slaver." He says. "You're lucky Knick Knack has things to say to you or I wouldn't allow you to live." He says, putting the Ceastus away. "Now, do you wish to prove any honor you have remaining with a hoof to hoof battle?"
[00:15]<Ignis>	"Trouble?"
[00:19]?	Firefly flies back to the garage. "Miss Pretty Pony?"
[00:19]?	Royal_Lace "It was standard at the mannor for the... house mares to be trained in the arts of magic and to be well mannered and groomed, more of a show of power of our owner than anything ells. I took to the teachings a bit to well and saught to expand my horisions so to speak, never did get to far from the place before they woudl drag me back"
[00:20]?	Royal_Lace turns, smiling at Firefly, "yes dear?"
[00:20]<Firefly>	"Is there schematics on the robot?"
[00:21]<SpiritOfFate>	Doodad pushes himself against the wall, shocked. "What kind of savage are you?!"
[00:21]<SpiritOfFate>	"...h-he is, uh... my friend I guess." Knick Knack peeks into the room. "And you... don't point a gun at him... it's not a good idea." She says, meekly.
[00:21]?	Royal_Lace glances over at the heavily stained bot, "yes dear but they will have to wait for a good cleaning... Im afraid there is... griffin all over them at the moment"
[00:21]<Royal_Lace>	*Stained blueprints
[00:22]?	Firefly frowns at the schematics. "Can't you just..." She waves her hooves at them. "Magic?"
[00:22]?	Sotho raises an eyebrow, looking to Knick Knack. "I am a zebra. This is simply how we settle matters of honor, and I would think after only a group of less than 20 took down you're slaveyard."
[00:22]?	Ignis only nods and falls silent...horizon for him was rather bleak, what with being a dragon and everything that comes after that...
[00:22]<SpiritOfFate>	 there are also a couple holes where plasma burned through it, but it's mostly entire
[00:22]<Sotho>	"Your honor would be hurt."
[00:23]?	Royal_Lace nods, "yes dear but im saving the magic in case anything ells comes up. We appear to be free and clear of the fighting but I would like to be sure.... still, I suppose its not to much to ask for". Horn glowing she cleans the blue prints. "Now dont go to far with them, they still need a lot of work"
[00:25]<Firefly>	"I can't take them to go work on the bat-bot?" She lifts up the mask, looking at her with big, foal eyes quivering lower lip.
[00:28]?	Royal_Lace pats firefly on the sholder, "Soon Firefly, we still have to decide how we are going to use it and even if we can. now, why dont you say hello to mister ignis! I have him up on this sprite bot here". Lace points at the screen showing the distant dragon and holds down the speaker button.
[00:29]?	Firefly wanders over and waves. "Miss Pretty Pony won't let me make a Bat-Bot."
[00:35]<SpiritOfFate>	Doodad blinks and his eyes narrow. "You- you've worthless snake of a daughter! After all I did for you, YOU! You ruined everything! You are no better than these savages, handing everything to the dogs on a silver platter." He keeps his gun pointed at both of you.
[00:36]?	Sotho steps infront of Knick Knack, protecting her from the gun. "You aren't well proving that you aren't a savage to me." He says. "I will protect her, more than you ever have."
[00:38]?	Wintergreen adds, still standing beside Knick Knack, "Savagery is enslaving those weaker than you instead of giving them jobs." She frowns. "If you don't realize that, you're the savage. A rather stupid one, at that."
[00:40]?	Wintergreen moves over to Sotho, glaring at Doodad. "Stand still," she whispers, applying a potion to his wounds.
[00:41]?	Sotho smiles and lets out a sigh. "Thank you Wintergreen."
[00:41]<SpiritOfFate>	"I don't have nothing to prove to the likes of you." He grunts.
[00:42]<SpiritOfFate>	"I... why does it have to be like this?" Knick Knack's face contorts in sorrow, then she takes a deep breath, drawing her own rifle. "Put the gun down, dad. It's not.... We can't keep going like that."
[00:42]<Sotho>	"I'm afraid you do." Sotho says. "You have to prove the value of your life, and you aren't doing a good job at it."
[00:43]?	Royal_Lace looks to Firefly,
[00:44]<Royal_Lace>	"So... are you hurt at all? we took the yard fairly fast. I hope you didnt put yourself in to much danger"
[00:47]?	Firefly shakes her head. "Nope! I stayed in the clouds. Silly featherbrains didn't expect that!"
[00:49]?	Royal_Lace smiles, "Thats good"
[00:49]<SpiritOfFate>	"Tch, and who is gonna judge? You dirty raiders? I don't want anything from you." He looks at Knick Knack. "Daughter, look. Just... that's just a band of fools, it's not how is meant to be. We can still make it all like it was before."
[00:50]?	Firefly nods. "Wonder what the others are doing."
[00:50]?	Wintergreen raises an eyebrow. "Why is slavery the only option? Why is making a prosperous town where -all- benefit not an option?"
[00:51]<Sotho>	"Raiders?" He asks, shaking his head. "You dare put us on the same tier as you?" He asks. "We do not needless kill or kidnap for fun. We do not enslave people for our own gain. "WE DO NOT ABUSE OUR FOALS." He says, anger boiling in his veins again.
[00:51]?	Hawkeye finishes up wrangling the armaments and captured troops and leaves them with Buck, with instructions not to hurt them unless they try to escape. The sniper then makes for the house, to see if they have captured Doodad yet.
[00:51]<SpiritOfFate>	Tin Cone trots across the landfill, unarmed, approaching Tamara on the slavehouse.
[00:52]?	Hawkeye spots a unicorn who doesn't look like a slave, and is one she doesn't recognize, and backpedals before reaching the house, heading back that direction.
[00:55]?	Royal_Lace starts poking around the computers looking to see if there was anything she missed during the conflict
[00:57]?	Firefly watches over her shoulder.
[00:59]<SpiritOfFate>	"This is my business, and my family, and don't come talking like you know what-"
[00:59]<SpiritOfFate>	BANG!
[00:59]<SpiritOfFate>	A bullet flies through the window, Knick Knack glares at her father holding a smoking gun.
[00:59]<SpiritOfFate>	You see him reaching for the trigger, but hesitating
[01:01]<SpiritOfFate>	"No. No! It's not right! Nothing is right! It was bad before and it's bad now, but..." Knick Knack whimpers. "...it's too late. It's over dad."
[01:01]?	Sotho looks to Knick Knack before glaring at her father, still standing infront of her, to protect her from the blast of the shotgun
[01:04]?	Sotho launches himself at the gun, trying to disarm Doodad
[01:12]<SpiritOfFate>	Doodad fires in panic, trying to keep away from Sotho
[01:14]?	Sotho takes the shot and grits his teeth, taking the gun and knocking it back behind Knick Knack and Wintergreen. "No gun for you."
[01:15]?	Wintergreen kicks the gun further behind them.
[01:15]<SpiritOfFate>	Doodad heaves, pressing himself to the wall like a cornered animal
[01:17]<SpiritOfFate>	"Sotho!" Knick Knack calls, dashing after him. "He needs help."
[01:18]?	Sotho smiles softly, shaking his head. "No no, It's just a fleshwound."
[01:22]<SpiritOfFate>	"W-what are you gonna d-do with me?" A cowering Doodad asks
[01:23]?	Sotho thinks. "Knick Knack, what are we going to do with him?" He looks to her.
[01:25]?	Hawkeye levels her rifle. "Hey! Stay right where y'all are," she calls out to the unidentified unicorn. "Move, and I'm liable to get twitchy. And twitchy gets folks' horns blown off."
[01:26]<SpiritOfFate>	Tin Cone glances back at the mare folllowing him. "That's what I get..." He stops. "Not doing anything."
[01:27]?	Hawkeye nods. "Great. Ah was worried there for a second," she says. "Now, y'all want to tell me who in the hay you and the little lady are?"
[01:29]<SpiritOfFate>	Knick Knack blinks. "...huh? I dunno... we... hm... could..." She rubs her mane.
[01:29]<SpiritOfFate>	Doodad sighs.
[01:31]<SpiritOfFate>	"Tin Cone, "
[01:31]?	Sotho nods. "We'll incapacitate him. Wintergreen, do you have any rope?"
[01:32]<SpiritOfFate>	"Former taskmaster. Former slave too, if that helps any. The little lady... which are you talking about?" Tin Cone says.
[01:33]?	Wintergreen shakes her head. "No... but this was a scrapyard," she looks to Knick Knack. "Any rope around here?"
[01:34]<SpiritOfFate>	"There was some in the basement." Knick Knack says.
[01:35]?	Wintergreen nods. "Can you get it for us?"
[01:36]?	Sotho looks over Doodad, ready to react to any sudden movements
[01:36]?	Hawkeye blinks. "Eyes playing tricks on me. Ain't a problem." The charcoal sniper gestures with her rifle, pointing Tin Cone over toward the captured mercs. "It don't make one bit of difference to me that you decided to become what made your life worse," she says. "Ah figure if y'all were good folk, the other slaves will show y'all some mercy, real karmic like."
[01:39]<SpiritOfFate>	Knick Knack nods hesitantly turning to the door. "...you'll be okay, right?"
[01:42]<Sotho>	"I promise I will." He smiles
[01:43]<SpiritOfFate>	"You'd figure. No sense in fighting for a lost cause, but looks like things changed."  He trots to where Hawkeye led him
[01:44]<SpiritOfFate>	Knick Knack gows downstairs
[01:45]?	Hawkeye nods. "If y'all can convince the others y'all are on our side, then y'ain't gettin' no trouble from me." She pushes her hat back on her head, just now noting that she does looks somewhat raiderish, coated in filth and blood.
