FoE PNP Group Unlucky 13 Session 21

[12:16] <@TenMihara|GM> *****PnP Group 13, Hoofington Sucks: Session 21*****
[12:17] <@TenMihara|GM> Freedom
[12:17] <@TenMihara|GM> Formerly something that was the expected right of everyone in Equestria
[12:17] <@TenMihara|GM> Now merely a priveledge to those who are strong or lucky
[12:17] <@TenMihara|GM> Those who aren't, fall under the heels of those who are.
[12:18] <@TenMihara|GM> Whether it's relying on chem providers for a fix
[12:18] <@TenMihara|GM> Local authority fo protection
[12:18] <@TenMihara|GM> Or those with the bad luck of ending up in slaver custody
[12:19] <@TenMihara|GM> everyone has to rely on someone else in order to keep living for that next day
[12:20] <@TenMihara|GM> But then, those with power sometimes rely on those without for things -they- need
[12:20] <@TenMihara|GM> So, is anyone ever really free anymore?
[12:20] <@TenMihara|GM> I guess we'll find out...
[12:20] <@TenMihara|GM> *****Session Begins*****
[12:21] <@TenMihara|GM> We rejoin the wastelanders standing before the massive steel door of Stable 84, led there by tunnels followed in pursuit of a hijacked caravan.
[12:22] <@TenMihara|GM> As the group approaches the entrance, they can see that the tunnels they entered through, compared to the area around the mouth of the Stable, look much more recent. There's even a half-collapsed tunnel off to the other side that looks like it originally came with the place
[12:22] * Purple_Kay "Well... Shit. Wasn't expecting this."
[12:23] <Green_Field> "This is an odd set up."
[12:23] * Razor looks at the giant door, and mutters, "Fuckin' hell. What is it?"
[12:24] * Harmony hasn't seen this either and nods in agreement with Razor. "Yes, what is this?"
[12:24] * Purple_Kay looks around, investigating the area around the massive door. "Looks like it was sealed off, then somepony stumbled on it. A damn Stable sitting here all this time."
[12:24] <@TenMihara|GM> The door, the steel flooring around it, as well as the struts holding the whole place up look worn and rusty, lacking in maintenance for decades at least
[12:24] <Proverb> "...huh."
[12:25] * Proverb fidgets with her pistol a bit, looking around nervously.
[12:26] * Razor glances over at Purple_Kay, then back at the door. "A Stable? That's what this is?"
[12:27] * Purple_Kay "Yeah, my best guess anyway. Can't say I know much about them, but they're pre-war bunkers. Set up so a portion of the population could ride out the worst if it came."
[12:27] <Green_Field> "It doesn't look like whoever made these tunnels hasn't been doing upkeep. Might be a 2 group operation, unless the slavers just found this but didn't get in.
[12:27] * Purple_Kay looks to see if the drag marks go 'into' the door.
[12:27] <Harmony> "How do we proceed inside?"
[12:28] <@TenMihara|GM> Purple_Kay's observation tells him that, although the mechanism is worn, it's still functional, and has been used recently.
[12:30] * Purple_Kay sucks his teeth. "See how that rust has been streaked along the cog? This has been opened... not too long ago."
[12:30] * Pantzar (IceChat77@m-556-170-086-86.na.cust.bahnhof.se) Quit ( Ping timeout: 246 seconds )
[12:30] <Proverb> "So, uhm, w-we can get in th-then?"
[12:31] <Green_Field> "That means either they found it and got in or the ponies inside are using slave labor."
[12:32] * Purple_Kay "Probably. Somepony pulled them inside." He looks around for a mechanism to open the door.
[12:33] <@TenMihara|GM> There's a set of controls to the right of the door, ,and they look operational at the very least.
[12:33] <Green_Field> "Though to be fair it might not be slavers. They might have gotten attacked and simply had to drag unconscious survivers back.
[12:34] * Purple_Kay goes over to the controls. It's probably not his cup of tea, but he gives it a once-over anyway. "Can't say I'm optimistic."
[12:35] <Green_Field> "I can't either."
[12:36] * Razor trots back and forth in front of the Stable door, inspecting it all over. "So... how do we get in? Or do we just leave?"
[12:37] <@TenMihara|GM> The control panel doesn't appear to have any complex computer parts in it, but there's still a keypad requiring a security code.
[12:38] * Purple_Kay "Could be a big payday in there. Bandits, pre-war tech. doesn't matter much if we can't get it open. It's probably not very safe."
[12:41] * Purple_Kay "You're up Giggy. See if you can crack this."
[12:41] <@TenMihara|GM> Logic Gates trots up to the control panel, "Stand aside, Wasteland's greatest hacker here. Let's have a looksie... wow, this thing is ancient. I suppose it's less complicated to make it more durable, but that takes all the fun out of it."
[12:45] <@TenMihara|GM> Logic Gates begins fiddling with the controls, "Seriously, who builds something like this without a proper visual interface? I've seen calculators more visually appealing."
[12:47] <@TenMihara|GM> Logic Gates tilts his head as he deduces and punches in the override code; "CMC3BFF... wonder what that means. Also makes me wonder how a bunch of bandits figured it out on their own."
[12:48] <Green_Field> "Ussuming the original occupants are not to blame."
[12:49] * Purple_Kay "Maybe they have somepony clever with them, or maybe they talked their way in. Or maybe, as Green says, the occupants are the bandits. Won't know till we find out. Open it."
[12:50] * Razor backs away from the door. In case it explodes, or something.
[12:50] <@TenMihara|GM> Logic shrugs, "I would think Stable dwellers would be a bit smarter than to leave the override code the same afterwards..." he then gets an idea. If he brought the COllegiate educational material from a Stable, they would have to see he was serious about it. They'd have  to let him in. He slams the button fairly forcibly.
[12:50] * Proverb keeps her gun trained on the door.
[12:51] * Harmony prepares herself, keeping her plasma pistol out.
[12:52] * Green_Field pulls out his revolver.
[12:52] <@TenMihara|GM> With a massive, ear rending grinding, the door is pulled back and aside as the Stable is opened. The entrance area is just as dilapidated as the outside, but as soon as the door stops moving, a voice crackles over some speakers from the inside
[12:53] <@TenMihara|GM> "Hear me ponies of the outside. You shall have This One warning. Go back whence you came, or you will not be leaving at all." The voice is hissy, but whether that's the voice itself or a bad broadcaster is unclear.
[12:54] * Proverb switches to her Carbine, racking the bolt. "Uhm... th-they don't s-sound friendly..."
[12:55] * Harmony grimaces. "Certainly not..."
[12:56] * Purple_Kay snorts. Sneaking didn't look like an option. "Well, that's ominous. Anypony want to turn back? I don't really fancy leaving those caravaneers behind."
[12:57] <@TenMihara|GM> The voice crackles in again, "This One warning you have been given. Take it and flee, or do not. As soon as you set hoof in here, you belong to Us."
[13:02] * Harmony sighs. "I will follow your lead Mister Kay. Though I think we should save whomever was captured... this is not looking to be under the best circumstances."
[13:03] <Green_Field> "I signed on to this group expecting situations like this."
[13:06] * Purple_Kay takes a step toward the door, not passing the threshhold. "Release the caravaneers that were drug here, and we'll leave," he calls.
[13:06] * Razor snorts. "They're not worth it... We can just take what they left and leave."
[13:06] <@TenMihara|GM> The voice does not respond.
[13:07] * Purple_Kay starts looking round for any kind of surveillance gear.
[13:09] <@TenMihara|GM> Purple_Kay doesn't see anything in the immediate entrance area, but it's fairly small and there are three doors branching off from it. It strikes him as possible that the door opening was the only thing that alerted them to an exterior presence.
[13:09] <Green_Field> "Why don't they just close it again?"
[13:10] * Purple_Kay "Maybe they are waiting for us to step inside first..."
[13:11] <Green_Field> "All the more evidence that they took them."
[13:11] * Purple_Kay "Giggy? Don't suppose you can lock out their door commands from that console?"
[13:12] <@TenMihara|GM> Logic Gates shakes his head and points inside the door to another control console, "I'm thinking because the other override is right there."
[13:21] * Purple_Kay "If we got you to that terminal on the other side, do you think you could lock them out? Or at least force the door if they tried to lock us in?"
[13:22] * Razor scratches at the ground with a hoof. "Didn't you hear me? Leave them! When did they become our problem?"
[13:23] * Logic_Gates narrows his eyes. "Why are we still here? There's shit we gotta do."
[13:24] * Harmony frowns at Razor and Logic_Gates. "Everypony deserves freedom... And we have the opportunity, but I will follow the rest of you in your decision."
[13:25] * Logic_Gates flops a hoof and looks at Razor. He's got this. "Are you seriously going to let a scary voice get to you?"
[13:30] * Razor snorts. "This is pointless. What do we get out of it? Nothing!"
[13:31] * Logic_Gates blinks. "You're a reaper. You're a badass of the wasteland. If it's tech, I got you covered. If it's not, then you're strong enough to have it covered anyway. We're golden whatever we do. So why not do the badass thing and tell a vault full of angry things you're not to be fucked with so that the reapers have that much higher of an opinion of you?"
[13:31] * Purple_Kay "It's a Stable. We'll end up with at worst a huge load of tech to sell off. This could be out biggest score. I gotta say the guy makes me want to fuck up his day and steal his shit."
[13:31] * Logic_Gates smirks. "Besides. We get a stable out of it."
[13:32] <Green_Field> "And, don't worry about getting beat up, that's why I'm here."
[13:36] * Razor stomps a hoof. "I'm /not/ worried! I just don't fucking care about some caravan that got itself killed, or some stupid tech!"
[13:37] <Green_Field> "Or caps?"
[13:37] * Purple_Kay trots over to Razor. "Kid, I don't like this either. But they are going to keep abducting ponies and I get the feeling these are the bandits we're after. It's a bounty, simple as that. Will you come with me?"
[13:38] * Proverb sighs, sweeping her gaze over the area.
[13:39] <@TenMihara|GM> There has still be no sign of any action or movement inside the entrance hall, but the longer the group waits, the more time those inside have to prepare for if they do venture in.
[13:39] * Logic_Gates shrugs and steps closer to Razor. "And if they aren't, then it's just scavenging with obstacles."
[13:42] * Razor scratches more at the ground. "Then if it's not our bounty, /you/ pay me like it is!"
[13:43] * Logic_Gates rolls his eyes, then steps forward to the side of the vault door. He cast a spell on himself, then did a quick peek inside, poking his head back as swiftly as possible. Let's see if we have hostiles.
[13:43] <@TenMihara|GM> As soon as Logic pops his head inside, two turrets pop down out of the ceilign in the entrance hall and each fires a burst at the door
[13:45] <Proverb> "Aiee!"
[13:48] <@TenMihara|GM> Logic_Gate's ducking shields him except against a grazing shot to the leg, Razor takes two hits, one of them deep, while Purple_Kay keeps Proverb out of the line of fire with his bulky body. Harmony also takes a grazing hit
[13:51] * Purple_Kay staggers as he takes a round to the chest and another to his brutalized right foreleg.
[13:54] * Razor winces. "Nice! Real nice!"
[13:54] * Logic_Gates feels a small singe on his leg. Lucky for him, he actually believes in the virtue of cover. He drew his pistol and cast his life-breathing spell on it, that gave his pistol reason to shoot bad things. He called it Pete when he did it. Pete proceeded to poke it's head out and let loose some magic.
[13:58] <@TenMihara|GM> The turret on the left sparks and part of the casing melts as it is assaulted by magical energy.
[14:00] <@TenMihara|GM> The turret looks badly damaged
[14:04] * Green_Field seeing Razor take the worst hit, runs over to cast a healing spell on her and fires a shot at the damaged turret on the way.
[14:05] <@TenMihara|GM> Green's shot misses the turret, but does briefly distract them while he gets to Razor
[14:13] <@TenMihara|GM> Razor feels a bit better as healing magic hits her
[14:16] * Harmony winces from the shot to her chest and turns her attention to the turrets, firing one shot at the damaged turret and two at the second.
[14:18] <@TenMihara|GM> The first shot glitches the weapon, which sparks. Lousy volatile plasma
[14:18] * Harmony groans and quickly de-glitches her pistol, turning her attention back to the damaged turret and firing a single shot.
[14:19] <@TenMihara|GM> The turret doesn't even have the opportunity to explode as the entire thing is liquified and drizzles onto the floor
[14:20] * Harmony smiles in response to her shot.
[14:20] <@TenMihara|GM> The remaining turret turns and opens up on Harmony
[14:22] <@TenMihara|GM> The turret isn't exactly accurate, and only one shot hits Harmony
[14:23] * Harmony yelps as she's hit in the chest again, though her smile doesn't fade as she sees all the missed shots.
[14:26] * Proverb snaps her rifle up, and fires off 4 shots at the remaining turret.
[14:28] <@TenMihara|GM> The turret takes three hits, the fourth shot going wide (Lousy cyclopia), and sparks a lot, looking rather heavily beat up. On it's last... pegs.
[14:32] * Razor isn't quite ready to go inside, yet. She starts casting her spells, waiting for one of the others to attack it at range.
[14:35] * Purple_Kay can see the turret is about destroyed. No need to waste his rather small amount of big ammo on it. He waits.
[14:37] * Logic_Gates smiles at Pete. Pete, weirdly enough, manages to look cocky for a brief moment and lets off one shot to finish off the turret. And then prepares another, just in case.
[14:41] <@TenMihara|GM> The turret explodes on the second shot
[14:44] <@TenMihara|GM> There is no further activity inside the entrance hall
[14:44] * Proverb reloads.
[14:45] * Purple_Kay moves up to the entryway heading toward the terminal on the far side carefully while keeping an eye out for more surprises.
[14:45] * Green_Field approaches Harmony, "you took a few how are you doing?"
[14:46] * Logic_Gates nods, then checks to see if it's all clear before sprinting for cover inside the stable.
[14:46] * Harmony shrugs. "My chest hurts, but it is not anything serious. Save your magic, I have a feeling you will have more wounds  to heal if we continue."
[14:47] <Green_Field> "You sure?"
[14:47] <@TenMihara|GM> nothing else pops up, but the voice speaks out again. "You have ignored Our warning. You belong to Us now." The door doesn't do anything though.
[14:48] * Harmony nods. "Yes, I am sure."
[14:48] * Proverb frowns. "...okay?"
[14:49] * Purple_Kay examines the other terminal, hopefully it is more advanced and Logic can get into the system proper
[14:50] <@TenMihara|GM> The voice crackles again through the speakers, but this doesn't seem specifically directed at you. "Take them alive if you can, but if not, there are always more We can use."
[14:50] * Green_Field pulls out a magical bandage and says to Harmony, "I'll save the spell but take this at least."
[14:51] * Logic_Gates , after figuring that they were safe, decided to check out the terminal.
[14:51] * Razor finishes casting her spells before she does anything. She mutters something not-nice. When the voice comes again, she calls out, "Why don't you just fucking try it!?"
[14:51] * Proverb frowns. "Sounds like w-we've got more company..."
[14:51] <@TenMihara|GM> The other control panel is identical to the one on the outside, and is not a terminal at all. It seems to be only connected to the door.
[14:51] * Harmony frowns at the voice and nods at Green_Field. "I suppose."
[14:52] * Logic_Gates frowns, then looks at the wall in front of him, examining the hardness of it. "... I have an idea."
[14:52] * Purple_Kay looks around at the other entrances into this little area.
[14:52] * Green_Field applies the magical bandage to Harmony's torso.
[14:52] * Proverb takes up a defensive position whilst the others worked on the getting the door open.
[14:53] <@TenMihara|GM> There are three doors branching off, all of them closed
[14:53] * Purple_Kay examines the nearest door while heading toward it.
[14:57] <@TenMihara|GM> The doors are Pneumatic, with an open/close release button off to the side of each. If the door happens to be locked, pressing the button will simply do nothing
[14:59] * Logic_Gates frowns. Stupid hard walls. He instead attempted to put his ear to the ground and examine the door. "... If we can know when they're coming, I can phase the door and Purple can let off a shot before they know what's happening."
[15:01] * Harmony smiles to Green_Field. "Thank you... that does feel better."
[15:03] * Proverb trots over to Harmony and Logic_Gates, glancing over at where Logic_Gates and Purple_Kay were working on the door. "H-Hey..."
[15:04] * Logic_Gates looks at Proverb, looking as if he's in a brainstorm. "Can you keep an ear to the ground to see when and where they're coming from?"
[15:04] * Harmony waves a hoof at Proverb and smiles. "Hello, Proverb."
[15:08] * Proverb smiles back a little. "Uhm, c-can I, uhh, a-a-ask y-you something?"
[15:08] * Harmony quirks her head and nods. "I do not see why not, sure."
[15:10] * Proverb scuffs a hoof at the floor. "Uhh, well, I, I w-was j-j-just wondering wh-why y-you didn't w-wanna take the, the S-Society job?"
[15:11] * Purple_Kay heads over to the farthest right door. He talks mostly to himself but loud enouth to hear. "I don't think they can see us, but they know we are here. How about a little surprise." He takes out one of the mines he disarmed earlier.
[15:11] <Proverb> "Y-You seemed like you r-really didn't wanna take it..."
[15:11] <Green_Field> "Well, haven't shut the door yet. So, it doesn't seem they want to capture us."
[15:12] <Green_Field> They*
[15:12] <Green_Field> They don't want*
[15:12] * Purple_Kay looks over at the rest, mine in his hoof. "I can mine all three and we can wait for the first wave to come to us, or I can mine 2 and we can take the third door."
[15:13] * Logic_Gates frowns at Proverb, then looks at Purple Kay. "... I like the way you think." He whispers. "Alright. Everybody except for me and Purple_Kay, myself, and whoever feels like they can listen to them, get behind something."
[15:14] * Razor heads inside the stable with the others. "Just hurry up!"
[15:14] * Logic_Gates looks at Kay. "I don't want to have to deal with anypony I don't have to today the hard way. I'll compensate you the extra cost of the mine."
[15:14] * Harmony blinks and frowns. "You are right. I did not..." She sighs. "Proverb, I will... tell you later. Now is not the best time."
[15:16] * Purple_Kay mines the right and left doors then moves to the center one. "We trying this one, or backing out and waiting? I'm partial to moving forward, take some initiative."
[15:17] * Proverb nods, hoisting her rifle up and lofting into a low hover near the ceiling.
[15:18] * Green_Field steps just inside the outer door.
[15:18] * Logic_Gates puts his ear to the ground and listens for vibrations. Metal floors and hooves tend to make a clatter. "..."
[15:18] * Harmony keeps her pistol out and follows behind Green_Field.
[15:19] <@TenMihara|GM> The entire group has been inside the entrance hall and is now finally joined by Green_Field. The exterior door remains open, suggesting either the nearby controls are the only ones, or the occupants don't knwo how to close the door from afar.
[15:19] <@TenMihara|GM> Logic doesn't hear anything
[15:20] * Purple_Kay lips up the control yoke of his saddle and raises a hoof to the button for the central door, the left and right have mine tucked in front of them. He waits for a cue from Logic before he hits the button
[15:20] * Logic_Gates shakes his head and pointed at his horn. "I'll phase the door. It'll be more of a surprise."
[15:21] * Razor stands a bit behind Purple_Kay and Logic_Gates. She has her weapon out, ready.
[15:21] * Logic_Gates looks at Proverb pleadingly.
[15:21] * Purple_Kay "If you say so, Giggy. Just give the signal."
[15:22] * Proverb blinks, looking down at Logic_Gates. "O-Oh! S-Sorry..." She lands next to him, putting her ear to the floor.
[15:25] <@TenMihara|GM> Proverb's apparent super senses can hear light shuffling on the far side of the door. There's movement, but not much of it. There's probably someone already set up and waiting on the other side.
[15:26] <Proverb> "S-Sounds like th-they're waiting for us to come through on the o-other side..."
[15:26] * Purple_Kay "Right outside the door, or a ways down?"
[15:26] * Purple_Kay 's voice is low.
[15:27] * Logic_Gates nods. "Get back, regardless." He mentions in a low tone.
[15:27] <Proverb> "Uhm... I... I d-d-don't kn-know..."
[15:28] * Razor is scratching at the floor with her hoof. She mutters, "Just hurry up..."
[15:28] * Harmony waits patiently, pistol aimed at the door.
[15:29] * Green_Field still with his revolver out, waits patiently.
[15:29] * Logic_Gates gets behind something, waiting for the others to follow cue. This was about to get loud.
[15:29] * Proverb lofts back up into the air, rifle trained on the door.
[15:30] * Purple_Kay asks Logic softly, "What happens when you phase it? It just dissapear, or will it look normal?"
[15:30] * Green_Field takes the hint and gets behind something as well.
[15:31] * Logic_Gates answers back. "Glows slightly, and goes intangiable. It still looks like it's there."
[15:33] * Purple_Kay takes up a position in cover and aims at the door. For his purposes he assumes a straight hall going back with the same height as this room. He imagines the shot landing 40' beyond the door and aims accordingly. "Phase it and give me a signal, and we'll give them a surprise." He's ready to lob some HE grenades.
[15:35] * Logic_Gates nods at Purple_Kay. "Get behind something, fire in three... Two... One... Mark." His horn glows that bright, balefire-like green, and with that, the pneumatic door seemed to glow faintly the same color as well. "Do it."
[15:35] * Purple_Kay fires.
[15:51] <TenMihara|GM> the pair of grenades zoom through the door and clatter down the hallway. There's no noise for a moment, then BOOM
[15:53] <TenMihara|GM> There's some loud screaming in the wake of the explosions, but with the door closed still, it's impossible to tell what happened
[15:56] * Purple_Kay moves forward, hoping to take advantage of their confusion to slip his head through and look, mouth holding the yoke and ready to send more death through the phased door.
[15:59] <TenMihara|GM> Purple_Kay can make out two forms through the smoke. One of them is bent awkwardly over a tipped filing cabinet that has a sizeable impact dent in it. The other is a mare who is now missing her two right side legs and screaming horribly.
[16:00] * Purple_Kay kicks over to honeycomb and moves forward. eyes out, looking for their weapons or signs of more of them. He moves quickly up to the cover of the tipped cabinet
[16:02] <TenMihara|GM> The downed ponies, as the smoke begins to filter up through the ventilation, are wearing Stable-Tec security barding with the number 84 on it, which means it came form this Stable, as probably did their weapons. The dead stallion's gun is a charred mess, but the mare's gun is still partly intact. A lever-action 20 gauge.
[16:03] <TenMihara|GM> The mare looks up at Purple_Kay agonizingly, then goes limp as the life fades form her eyes.
[16:04] * Proverb lands tenatively.
[16:05] <Proverb> "Uhm... I-Is it clear?"
[16:05] * Purple_Kay curses, He stops fumbling for the potion in his pack. He'd hoped to at least question her.
[16:06] * Purple_Kay keeps and eye out over the cabinet. He waves the rest forward. "Looks clear for now."
[16:07] * Razor steps forward behind the door. Just... walking through a door is creepy.
[16:07] * Proverb follows hesitantly after Razor.
[16:07] <TenMihara|GM> This hallway was narrow, and would have made the explosion worse on those caught in close quarters. It goes a little further in, then branches again with signs marked 'Atrium' and 'Security/Overmare's Office'
[16:07] * Green_Field runs up and through the door.
[16:07] * Logic_Gates has no qualms against and walks on through.
[16:07] * Harmony walks through behind Logic.
[16:08] <TenMihara|GM> Each branch is marked by a door at the far end of the hall, both closed
[16:08] * Razor waits until last to walk through. Very. Creepy.
[16:09] * Purple_Kay kicks his ammo-changer to honeycomb.
[16:10] * Proverb fidgets with her rifle a bit. "Uhm... wh-where to now?"
[16:10] <TenMihara|GM> The topped over filing cabinet looks like it was meant to provide cover, but it didn't take the High-Explosive 40mm Grenades very well. It was nearly rended in half just from the concussive force
[16:10] * Logic_Gates looks at the signs. "Let's go to security. I can take those turrets and use them against the ponies here, now. Probably also find out what's going on."
[16:10] * Purple_Kay "We'll mine the door to the atrium and head to that office. Sounds boss-like."
[16:12] * Purple_Kay slinks down toward the atrium door and deploys his last mine.
[16:12] * Proverb nods. "O-Okay..."
[16:13] * Razor glances around the hallway. While they're standing around, she checks the corpses for anything of value.
[16:15] <TenMihara|GM> Aside form the barding (2 sets of Security Barding at 20% and 40% condition), and the shotgun (Lever-Action 20 Gauge, 30% condition), there are some caps in their pockers (38 total), and a small, clear bag of some kind of strange pinkish-orange powder.
[16:15] <Purple_Kay> that sounds like a Dr. Green bag. Or you might know cause you do all those drugs.
[16:16] * Green_Field picks up the shotgun.
[16:16] * Razor keeps the caps for herself, since she doesn't share ever and is still in a bad mood about the whole stable thing. She inspects the bag of powder though, closely.
[16:17] <TenMihara|GM> Razor has never seen this stuff before and has no idea what it is or what it does
[16:17] <TenMihara|GM> Both the doors leading to Atrium and Security are presently locked.
[16:18] * Purple_Kay finishes mining the atrium door and heads back to the others.
[16:19] * Proverb is fidgeting still. She really didn't like being cooped up in a place where her wings would hit the walls.
[16:20] <TenMihara|GM> Proverb's small size makes that not really a huge problem, but this was not a place designed for Pegasi
[16:20] * Purple_Kay "Let's keep moving." He heads to the other door and finds it locked. He looks for a way to open it. A console or a lock proper.
[16:20] * Pantzar (IceChat77@m-556-170-086-86.na.cust.bahnhof.se) Quit ( Ping timeout: 258 seconds )
[16:20] <TenMihara|GM> There is a lock that can be picked
[16:21] * Purple_Kay "Wishy, you're up."
[16:21] * Proverb eeps. "H-Huh? O-Oh... r-right..."
[16:22] * Proverb moves towards the door, pulling out her bobby pins and screwdriver and attempting to pick it.
[16:23] * Razor stashes the powder away and follows behind Purple_Kay.
[16:23] * Harmony follows behind Proverb, keeping her pistol out for when the door opens. She glances at Provy's flank a few times.
[16:24] * Proverb is shaking a bit.
[16:25] <TenMihara|GM> Proverb's shaking costs her a bobby pin, but her second attempt gets the door open.
[16:26] * Proverb steps back as the door opens, bringing up her rifle.
[16:28] * Purple_Kay has his weapons leveled at the slowly opening door.
[16:28] * Logic_Gates has Pete pointed in while he takes cover behind a wall.
[16:29] * Green_Field stands in the hallway they walked in from.
[16:30] <TenMihara|GM> Another pair of turrets pop down from the ceiling and open fire as the door hisses open
[16:33] <TenMihara|GM> Harmony, Green_Field, Razor and Proverb each take a single hit
[16:35] <TenMihara|GM> *Purple_Kay instead of Green_Field
[16:35] * Proverb yelps, stumbling as the shot digs into her leg.
[16:35] * Purple_Kay takes another round to the chest.
[16:35] * Harmony grimaces as the shot hits her left foreleg.
[16:37] * Razor gets nicked in the right foreleg.
[16:38] * Purple_Kay takes a few steps forward and fires at very close range
[16:42] <TenMihara|GM> Purple_Kay peppers the left side turret with 40mm buckshot, and the turret's weak armoured casing isn't up to holding against it, destroying it utterly.
[16:46] * Logic_Gates fires a couple of times at the turrets. He grew to dislike them.
[16:46] * Proverb brings her rifle to bear on the remaining turret, and fires off four rounds.
[16:48] <TenMihara|GM> The turret explodes on the fourth hit
[16:49] * Proverb lets out a shaky breath. "Stupid turrets..."
[16:51] * Purple_Kay looks around the room he now finds himself in.
[16:52] * Green_Field hearing the shots stop, steps out to see the damage to the group.
[16:53] * Harmony walks into the room behind Purple_Kay, looking around.
[16:53] * Logic_Gates steps out of cover and attempts to stick back into it while looking for precious terminals.
[16:53] * Proverb enters with Harmony.
[16:53] <TenMihara|GM> The room is wider past the doors, and racks and hangers that would be holding weapons and armour stand bare. There's another section of the room past a divider that holds some monitors for security cameras, most of which are not working, and a terminal.
[16:54] * Purple_Kay "Jackpot, Giggy, you're up."
[16:55] * Razor steps inside and looks around the room.
[16:55] * Purple_Kay carefully moves past the divider, keeping an eye out for anypony hiding behind it or under desks, or whatnot.
[16:57] * Logic_Gates smiles. Hello, darlings. Daddy missed you.
[16:57] <TenMihara|GM> aside from the weapons and armour being picked off by the bandits (there looks like there was room for 10 uniforms total, with associated weapons), there are a couple locked ammo boxes next to some emptied open ones.
[16:59] * Proverb moves over to the boxes and attempts to pick both of them.
[17:00] * Logic_Gates checks over the top and behind the terminal before turning it on. He's heard of some sneaky ponies hooking up an overcharged Micro-Sparkle cell to the power supply so that the whole terminal explodes violently. He noted that this sucks on a very empathetic level.
[17:03] * Purple_Kay is satisfied they are alone and moves up behind Giggy to watch his progress
[17:04] <TenMihara|GM> Proverb loses a couple of bobby pins, but manages to get both locked boxes open. The first one holds a nice amount of 10mm rounds, while the other has some 20 gauge Slugs (36 10mm round, 10 20 Gauge Slugs. Yes, Slugs)
[17:04] * Harmony moves behind Proverb, looking to whatever she found once the boxes were open.
[17:05] * Proverb frowns a little, as she had weapond that used neither.
[17:05] <TenMihara|GM> Logic Gates is distracted by thinking he saw a nipple in one of the staticy feeds, but actually it wasn't anything.
[17:05] <Proverb> weapons*]
[17:06] * Logic_Gates blinks. "Purple_Kay, I need to rest my eyes for a little bit. Could you look this over to see if it's trapped?"
[17:06] * Purple_Kay checks it over.
[17:06] * Proverb looks up at Harmony. "Uhm... d-does anypony n-need t-ten mil or 20 gauge...?"
[17:07] <Green_Field> "I'll take those slugs."
[17:07] <TenMihara|GM> Purple_Kay finds no dickery of any kind, and a bit of dust on the keyboard suggests this room was largely not bothered with.
[17:07] <TenMihara|GM> Beyond the armaments that is
[17:07] * Proverb slides the box over to Green_Field.
[17:08] * Harmony frowns. "Proverb, while we
[17:08] * Razor isn't interested at all in this tech stuff. She hangs out by the door.
[17:08] * Logic_Gates stands over the terminal and proceeds to do his thing. "Thanks, Purple. I think I may be needed glasses soon."
[17:08] <Harmony> 're waiting, I think I can tell you.."
[17:08] * Purple_Kay "Looks clean. See if you can get access to the cameras, then the turrets. Don't want to turn them on the caravaneers."
[17:08] <Logic_Gates> (Needing*)
[17:09] * Proverb takes the 10 mil rounds for herself. Might as well sell them or something. She looks back at Harmony. "O-Oh, uhm, s-sure."
[17:10] <TenMihara|GM> Logic can gain access to the console fairly easily, and there is a command for the turret override. It gives him the option of erasing their friend/foe recognition, or just shutting them down. Of the 16 monitors for security cameras, only 3 are working.
[17:11] <TenMihara|GM> The three that are working are labelled for the Atrium, Living Quarters lvl 1, and Orchard
[17:12] * Harmony sighs and speaks quietly, so that nopony else but Proverb hears. "I was a courtesan in the Society. A slave since I was a child, really... My mother was a slave as well, though my father was nobility... my mother escaped, and I soon did too. Though during my escape, I killed both my father and another noble."
[17:12] <Harmony> "They are most likely hunting me, as per that bounty we saw."
[17:13] * Proverb 's eye widens. "O-Oh... o-o-oh... Is, i-is there a-anything I, I c-can do?"
[17:13] * Logic_Gates examines the monitors for anything interesting. Hostages? Slaves? Slavers? Loot?
[17:14] * Harmony shakes her head. "I do not believe so."
[17:14] <TenMihara|GM> The speaker system crackles to life again, "Intruders. You have skills and powers the likes of which This One has not seen before. You could be of much use. If you submit to Us, then we shall put you to work for the highest cause."
[17:15] <TenMihara|GM> *We
[17:16] <Green_Field> "Well, that answers the slaver question."
[17:16] * Razor snorts and stomps a hoof. "Yeah, right! How about you submit to /us/ and we won't have to gut you!"
[17:17] <TenMihara|GM> The orchard camera, while functional, is hampered by a lack of light. There is some, but not much. There also seems to be an odd orange tinting over the lens. The Atrium shows several more ponies armed in the Stable Security uniforms with weapons using turned over tables for cover. The Living Quarters looks empty, and half the lights are flickering
[17:17] * Purple_Kay asks Logic_Gates. "Don't suppose you can find a backdoor and get into the rest of the system? Maybe hack the PAs?"
[17:18] * Purple_Kay 'PA'
[17:19] * Logic_Gates typity types. "Working on it." He tries to find an exploit to get himself admin privileges. If not that, then at least figure out what other functions this terminal is hooked up to.
[17:20] <TenMihara|GM> The security terminal is also hooked into the locked doors and can open them all remotely if needed. The PA seems to have been tampered with, rerouted somewhere, with a space open where the microphone would have sat.
[17:20] <TenMihara|GM> Hacking the terminal in the first place got Logic_Gates an admin Login
[17:21] <TenMihara|GM> There are also some security logs
[17:22] * Proverb frowns. "Oh... I... I-I'm sure there's something...."
[17:23] * Purple_Kay points over Logic's shoulder. "That could be useful. Maybe there's a clue to why they are attacking caravans."
[17:23] * Logic_Gates silently unlocks the doors from here. "Alright. No more needing to use bobby pins. Enemies in the Atrium. No good visual on the orchard, but there's this weird orange film on the lens. Living Quarters look like our best bet if we want to handle this stealthily. And the P.A. system seems to have been rerouted." He runs through the security logs quickly. Maybe there's something we can use there.
[17:23] * Harmony shrugs and sighs, sitting down. She's a bit sad, thinking back to the Society.
[17:24] * Proverb hesitantly nuzzles Harmony. "I'm.... I-I'm s-sorry for, for a-asking..."
[17:24] * Purple_Kay "Rerouted to where? What about the Over-whats-its office?"
[17:24] <TenMihara|GM> The speakers crackle again, "This One gives you the following instructions: Leave your weapons and come to the Orchard. Our sservants will not attack unless We will them to, which We shall not sso long as you come unarmed."
[17:25] <TenMihara|GM> The most recent security log was left by 'Security Cheif Cuffs'
[17:26] * Harmony smiles lightly and nuzzles back. "It is alright, it is just... not something I like to think about."
[17:26] <TenMihara|GM> 'Welp, this is it. Time for us to pack up and go. We've gotten most of the portable or valuable stuff packed up for the exodus, but this feels wierd. All of us alive now have lived our whole lives here, and now we're expected to head out just because an eighty year old document says so? What if it's not safe up there? What if it's not clean yet?
[17:27] <TenMihara|GM> -Still, not like we have much choice. The Orchard has run its course and this Stable was apparently only built to last so long before we were sent back up to the surface. Hopefully some other stables are mptying now too so we won't be out there by ourselves. Anyways, this is the Chief, signing off for the last time."
[17:28] * Purple_Kay "When's that dated, Giggy?"
[17:28] * Logic_Gates scrolls down.
[17:28] <TenMihara|GM> The date seems to be around 120 years prior to the current date shown on the terminal display
[17:29] * Proverb hugs Harmony. "I... I kn-know what you mean..."
[17:30] * Razor is just annoyed at the broadcast. She stomps a hoof. "Not even fucking listening..."
[17:30] * Logic_Gates frowns. "Too long ago." He proceeds to go back to the turret prompt. "How do we want to play this?"
[17:31] * Purple_Kay "Well... these aren't the original stable ponies... don't suppose you can segregate any turrents in the orchart are?"
[17:31] <TenMihara|GM> There's a post script in that last log 'Leaving the extra security armour and weapons down here. Overmare wanted us to travel a bit lighter and wanted to make sure we didn't appear overly hostile to anyone already living on the surface. I don't mind much, since there's probably nothing alive up there at all."
[17:33] * Harmony hugs Proverb back lightly before sitting up and turning attention to the others. "Maybe we can talk through this? They did say they would not harm us." She shrugs. "If anything, I can disarm and try to figure out what is going on."
[17:34] * Purple_Kay "There is no way I'm letting you go into that orchard alone and unarmed."
[17:34] <Green_Field> "That voice sounds oddly robotic."
[17:34] * Logic_Gates frowns. "I doubt anypony who speaks in a third-pony perspective is going to be the sort that listens to us."
[17:34] * Proverb shakes her head. "Me n-neither..."
[17:36] * Logic_Gates checks through the coding of the turret control program.
[17:36] * Purple_Kay "Whoever that dilusional pony is, he needs to be taken care of. The question is whether his 'servants' need to be liberated or eliminated."
[17:36] * Razor scratches at the ground. "They only want to talk 'cuz they know we're gonna slaughter them!"
[17:36] * Logic_Gates click-a-clicks. "If you can get one alive, I can probe their memories for data on where the hostages might be."
[17:37] * Purple_Kay "Flip back through the video feeds for me." He watches for signs of ponies again, this time paying particular attention to their forelegs.
[17:37] * Logic_Gates does so.
[17:39] <TenMihara|GM> Logic can only really see the 'erase Fried/Foe data' and 'shut down'
[17:40] <TenMihara|GM> "This One is still waiting for you in the Orchard. If you do not come on your own, We shall send our servants to bring you to Us."
[17:40] * Logic_Gates grimaces. "The code's so corrupt and ill-maintained at this point that recoding the operating system to get around this would take hours we don't have."
[17:41] <Harmony> "We should probably start moving or prepare. I do not think we have much time before the servants come."
[17:41] * Proverb trains her rifle on the door, nodding.
[17:42] * Harmony follows suit and keeps her pistol aimed on the door.
[17:42] * Purple_Kay "Doc, can you hit me with a zap real quick?" He looks around the room for more exits, this was supposed to lead to security and that office.
[17:42] <TenMihara|GM> The video feed of the ponies in the atrium shows that their forelegs lack anything beyond the occasional kneepad. They looks fairly alert though, but haven't moved from their defensive positions in the lsightest.
[17:42] <TenMihara|GM> slightest
[17:43] <TenMihara|GM> The Access to the Overmare Wing is at the far end of the first side of the room near the weapon/uniform storage.
[17:43] * Green_Field gives PK a zap, "sure can. Anypony else?"
[17:44] <TenMihara|GM> Not only can Logic_Gates trace the crudely reworked PA system, but he also finds a bit of code that, if he removed it, would cut the feed entirely.
[17:54] * Logic_Gates lifts a recording out of his backpack. "Bed Warming Eve. On repeat. Potentially can cut and paste dialogue and cut all P.A. chatter. Yes, or no?"
[17:55] * Proverb shakes her head.
[17:55] * Purple_Kay "I'd cut it, keep the creep from giving orders"
[17:55] * Logic_Gates frowns. Damn. That could've been funny. He cuts PA chatter.
[17:56] <TenMihara|GM> The Speakers, providing an almsot imperceptible yet ever present hissing, go silent.
[17:57] * Logic_Gates also shuts off the turrets. "Can potentially turn them back on when you want."
[17:57] * Purple_Kay had hardly noticed the hiss until it was gone. He looks at the screen to see if there is any change in the 'servants'
[17:57] <TenMihara|GM> The servants continue to hold their defensive positions.
[17:58] * Proverb personally would have voted to erase the friend or foe data.
[17:58] * Purple_Kay "Let's check the office before moving on." He moves toward the Over-Thingy office.
[17:59] * Logic_Gates nods, then sneaky sneaks out and behind.
[17:59] <TenMihara|GM> This door is shut, but now unlocked thanks to the security override
[17:59] * Proverb follows after them, rifle at the ready.
[18:00] * Harmony turns and follows. "Should somepony keep watch on the door and cameras?"
[18:00] * Purple_Kay opens the door, ready to fire if there are ponies inside that draw on him.
[18:01] * Razor glances back at the group from her position by the hall door.
[18:01] <TenMihara|GM> The Overmare's wing is empty. Inside is a short hallway with three doors, all now unlocked also. One is marked 'Overmare & Husband', the other is marked 'Children's room'. The third is apparently a personal office space for the Overmare
[18:02] * Purple_Kay opens the doors one at time to check for hostiles before searching takes place, working clockwise from the leftmost door.
[18:03] * Logic_Gates seems to lag behind, looking at the loudspeakers.
[18:03] <TenMihara|GM> The Children's room is empty but for a few toys that got left behind. A package of darts and a toy cart
[18:06] * Purple_Kay goes into the foal's room He collects the few scattered toys, maybe take them to Chapel.
[18:06] * Logic_Gates opens and swiftly glances in before retreating back.
[18:07] <Logic_Gates> (The office space, I mean.)
[18:07] * Purple_Kay calls out to the others, "anything in the other rooms?
[18:07] <TenMihara|GM> The office space has a desk with its own terminal, some lockers and a workbench
[18:07] * Harmony moves forward into the room marked 'Overmare & Husband.'
[18:08] * Proverb follows Harmony into it.
[18:08] <TenMihara|GM> The Overmare and Husband Room is a pretty spartan Room but for the nice bed. Proverb suddenly (WW) has all kinds of images in her head about what she could do in a bed like that, given her small size.
[18:09] <TenMihara|GM> She also has a strange inkling to check under the mattress
[18:09] * Purple_Kay heads into the office, spotting the workbench he gets to scrounging any tools left there-abouts. He leave the terminal to Logic
[18:10] <TenMihara|GM> There are two wrenches and a hammer.
[18:10] * Proverb blinks, frowning a bit. She trots over, and checks under the matress. "...huh."
[18:10] <TenMihara|GM> Under the Matress is a small sachel of pre-war coins... and a strap-on.
[18:10] * Harmony quirks her head, looking at Proverb. "Find anything?"
[18:10] * Logic_Gates goes ahead and hacks into the terminal. He loved hacking. He loved the word. He loved the clickity clack. He loved the logic most of all.
[18:11] <Proverb> "Uhh..."
[18:11] * Proverb is bright red.
[18:11] * Harmony moves closer. "What is it?"
[18:12] * Proverb stammers. "It's... a... uhh... uhm.... a..."
[18:12] * Purple_Kay checks the lockers while Logic hacks.
[18:13] * Harmony is very curious now. "...yes?"
[18:13] * Proverb squeaks, almost inaudibly. "...s-s-s-st-trap on..."
[18:15] <TenMihara|GM> The lockers are not wired into the system, and are locked
[18:15] * Purple_Kay snorts and heads to the other room to get Proverb, their lock-picker
[18:16] * Harmony blinks and smirks.
[18:16] <TenMihara|GM> Logic_Gates easily hacks the terminal. It contains some logs, an option to open the private safe.
[18:16] * Purple_Kay makes the short walk in very little time. "Hey, Wishy? Need ya in the other room."
[18:16] * Logic_Gates blinks, then looks around for a safe.
[18:16] * Proverb eeps, jumping. "Meep!"
[18:17] * Proverb is still a bright shade of crimsom.
[18:17] <TenMihara|GM> There's no safe plainly visible, but there is a slightly crooked painting on the wall
[18:17] <Proverb> crimson*
[18:19] * Harmony moves to the bed. "Well, if you won't be taking this..." She reaches under the bed and puts the item away with her own personal affects.
[18:20] * Proverb squeaks something. If PK hadn't walked in, she probably would have taken it...
[18:20] * Purple_Kay sees Harmony stash it. He leans down to Proverb and whispers. "If you need me to resize that for either of you, I have very tight lips."
[18:21] * Proverb faits.
[18:21] <Proverb> faints*]
[18:22] * Harmony turns back and sees Proverb faint. "Well... that doesn't say much of her stamina..."
[18:23] * Logic_Gates unlocks the safe, then takes the painting off before looking at it.
[18:24] * Logic_Gates also got it loading up the logs, because why not?
[18:24] * Purple_Kay "Well, you wouldn't be going to her for stamina, she is cute though." He leans down and pats her cheek. "Wishy, we need your skills in the other room. Wakey-wakey"
[18:24] <TenMihara|GM> The painting is a stylized portrait of Sweetie Belle, her hoof upon her barrel and her mouth open, presumably in song
[18:27] * Proverb meeps, jerking back awake. "Eeep!"
[18:28] * Purple_Kay gives her a wide smirk. "Lock in the other room need your skills. Go slip your tool in and work your magic."
[18:29] * Proverb bolts from the room, a black blur.
[18:29] * Razor has no idea what the rest of the group is up to. She just stands watch by the hallway door.
[18:29] * Logic_Gates nods in approval. Huh. He looks behind it.
[18:29] <TenMihara|GM> There's a safe, fancy that
[18:30] * Harmony chuckles. "Well, stamina is a no, but she sure is quick on her hooves..."
[18:30] * Proverb skids to a halt in the other room. "Uhm.... wh-wh-wh-what n-needs un...u-unl-l-locking?"
[18:30] * Proverb is also quite flustered.
[18:30] * Logic_Gates opens the safe.
[18:31] * Purple_Kay chuckles. "Being fast isn't always desireable. But I guess it would be less of an issue for those with more than one or two rounds in them." He gives one look around the room in case there was a wardrobe or anything else in the room.
[18:31] <TenMihara|GM> The safe contains a couple of pre-war records, an audio recorder/player, and some documents labeled 'Overmare Only'
[18:32] <TenMihara|GM> The room has a dresser and a nightstand
[18:32] * Purple_Kay checks in the dresser first, then the nightstand.
[18:33] <TenMihara|GM> The dresser has a couple suits of Stable Standard Barding, and one suit of Utility Barding. The nightstand has an old pair of glasses
[18:34] * Harmony heads out back into the hallway, waiting for everypony else to be done with their looting.
[18:35] * Logic_Gates smiles at the audio recorder. Jackpot. "We can go back to the security room now." He takes the documents and spreads them out on the ground to read, taking the records as well.
[18:36] * Proverb doesn't know what needs to be unlocked, so she's standing in the middle of the room, prancing a little.
[18:37] * Purple_Kay heads out of the room with Harmony and ducks into the office. He walks over to the locked lockers. "Here, Wishy."
[18:37] <TenMihara|GM> The audio recorder already has something on it, and the documents are mainly details of the Stable's layout and purpose (The word 'Control' comes up a few times), some population records, orchard production details and projected exterior radiation decay rates.
[18:38] * Proverb moves over to the lockers and starts working her 'tool' on them.
[18:39] * Logic_Gates plays the thing on it and starts reading the documents on the computer at the same time.
[18:39] * Purple_Kay looks over her shoulder. "I can see why she likes you, good form."
[18:40] <TenMihara|GM> The computer's records are much of the same, but there's also the Overmare's personal logs.
[18:41] * Proverb eeps. "Wh-wh-what?"
[18:41] * Logic_Gates opens the personal logs.
[18:42] <TenMihara|GM> The first Locker yields a slip of paper with the terminal password on it, and the Overmare's personal (not that it was anythign special) 10mm pistol with 1 clip in it. The second Locker however, contains some rather flattering lengerie, a small, long box, and a riding crop.
[18:43] * Proverb sits down, her cheeks so red the shood be on fire.
[18:43] * Purple_Kay chuckles and starts to make a comment when she opens the second locker. "Oh, wow. Banner day for your sex life, Wishy." He fights to stifle a laugh.
[18:43] * Logic_Gates peeks over his shoulder. "... If you're going to use that, be sure to put it on holotape." He mentions casually, digging back into the terminal.
[18:43] <Proverb> "...eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep!"
[18:43] <TenMihara|GM> The most recent personal log entry has the same date as the last security log. "So, I guess this is it. We're heading on out. I've made sure all the foals are bundled up in case it's winter on the outside, and that the security force is armed, but not overly. We don't want to look like invaders if there are people already living up there. if there's nothing to find, there were some instructions
[18:44] * Purple_Kay picks up the sleepware and holds it up to her nearly immolating form. "Will need to make some alterations but you'll look splendid. Now what's in this box?"
[18:46] <Proverb> "...I... I-I-I-I'll o-o-o-open i-i-it..."
[18:46] <TenMihara|GM> insturctions on how to seek out shelter or make our own if need be. We have a good supply of food and the Stable's water talisman available, so we should be able to find some place before our stock runs out. That's part of why I wanted to lighten the load in some places, which unfortunately means leaving a couple of my favourites behind. Oh well, Stable-Tec orders are absolute, and the orchard c
[18:47] <TenMihara|GM> and the orchard can't sustain us much longer anyways."
[18:47] * Proverb reaches forward slowly, and opens the box.
[18:47] <TenMihara|GM> "This is Overmare Peaches signing off for the last time. Unless of course shit goes horribly wrong and we come back here for another decade."
[18:48] <TenMihara|GM> The box reveals a behemoth labeled 'The Bigger Mac'
[18:49] * Proverb squeaks at such high a pitch it arcs out of hearing. She slams the box closed, and shoves it in her bags.
[18:49] * Purple_Kay thinks that's a bit of false advertising, but maybe ponies were smaller back then.
[18:49] * Proverb is barely bigger than a filly!
[18:52] * Purple_Kay snorts. "Don't hurt yourself." He leaves her to spontaneously combust and head toward Logic. "Anything interesting on your end?"
[18:53] * Proverb also shoves the lengerie and riding crop in her bags too. Her face it should be combusting.
[18:53] * Logic_Gates shrugs. "Nothing we don't already know. Brighter news is that we now have a recorder so we can go back down to security with our demands."
[18:54] <TenMihara|GM> A bit of steam rises from Proverb's ears
[18:57] * Purple_Kay nods. "Good work, Giggy. We should make a recording for broadcast. Demand they surrender. Give them that chance. Then if they don't take it, we can flip on the turrets. We'll have given them the chance then."
[19:00] * Razor is feeling very twitchy. She doesn't like standing around for so long. She calls back to the group, "Are you done yet!?"
[19:01] * Logic_Gates nods. "Who should make the recording?"
[19:02] * Purple_Kay "Harmony. Maybe not as intimidating as somepony like me, but she is the far better communicator. Let's go get here, I think she went back to security."
[19:02] * Harmony is sitting in the security room, waiting.
[19:03] * Green_Field is slowly pacing the hall looking rather content.
[19:05] * Logic_Gates goes back and floats the recorder to Harmony. "Tell them to surrender or die." He says bluntly.
[19:05] * Harmony raises her eyebrow. "I will be sure to be much less blunt."
[19:06] * Purple_Kay reenters the security room. "That's the hope, Beau. See if you can talk them down. But don't send them out of the Stable yet, don't need them stumbling into the mines if they have surrendered."
[19:07] * Harmony nods. "I will try my best." She looks for the 'on' button or a switch on the recorder.
[19:08] * Proverb is still blushing, though, not nearly as much. She stands quietly off to the side.
[19:10] * Razor has probably scratched deep lines into the floor by now. She's very, very twitchy.
[19:14] * Harmony turns on the recorder and begins to speak in a soft, even tone. "To the inhabitants of this stable, put down your arms. We do not wish to harm you, but would rather you speak with us on peaceful terms of surrender. Send a representative to the security room, if you must. No harm will come to them. Otherwise, we will proceed to re-arm your turrets against you. You have been warned, please act rationally."
[19:14] * Harmony looks to Purple_Kay. "Will that do?"
[19:15] * Purple_Kay nods. "I'll need to go disarm that mine by the Atrium. Don't need to explode their representative if they send one."
[19:16] * Harmony hoofs off the recorder to Logic_Gates.
[19:16] * Purple_Kay heads out and gets his mine back before they play the recording.
[19:17] <TenMihara|GM> From the Overmare's office, if anypony is still there, there was a set of windows that could overlook the Atrium
[19:17] * Logic_Gates decides to take the recorder and starts splicing the sound scroll it into the P.A. system. "Hey. After this, sometime, do you mind being a model?"
[19:17] <TenMihara|GM> But there's also the one security feed too
[19:18] * Purple_Kay comes back and goes to look at the security feed as was his original plan, then remembers the window. He goes there for the better vantage point.
[19:19] * Logic_Gates watches the atrium feed, waiting for his code to compile. Should be any moment, now.
[19:19] * Proverb is watching the feed as well.
[19:19] <TenMihara|GM> Harmony's recording begins to play across the speakers throughout the Stable. Those watching the eight ponies in the atrium put down their weapons, and do nothing else, remaining eerily motionless.
[19:20] <Proverb> "Uhm..."
[19:20] * Purple_Kay scratches his chin and moves back to the security room. "You all saw that too right?"
[19:20] <Proverb> "That's... n-not, uhh, n-n-normal... i-is it?"
[19:22] * Purple_Kay "Make a new recording. Tell them to all assemble in the Atrium and place their weapons and armor in a pile."
[19:23] * Proverb fidgets with her rifle nervously. This was getting a little creepy.
[19:23] * Logic_Gates blinks. "And that they should also start dancing." He had a reason for asking for this!
[19:24] <Harmony> "Odd... I can make another recording, if you would like, though anypony can do it, it seems."
[19:25] * Logic_Gates floats the recording back to her. "Do it."
[19:26] * Harmony nods and turns the recorder back on. "Assemble in the atrium, place your weapons and armor in a pile, and then line up against the wall." She hoofs it back over to Logic.
[19:27] * Logic_Gates looks at the recorder. "And also start dancing." He mentioned in a sarcastic tone, patching that through as well.
[19:29] <TenMihara|GM> The ponies in the atrium, one of whom is clearly the bandit leader from the wanted poster, take off their armour and pile it along with their weapons in the middle of the room, then obediently line up along the far wall.
[19:29] <TenMihara|GM> Logic_Gate's orders do nothing
[19:30] * Purple_Kay checks his self-made copy of the bounty to check if dead or alive was specified. Off-hoofedly he remarks. "See, Kid, bandit we were looking for."
[19:30] * Logic_Gates leans back. Okay, weird. "... Harmony, I think they are following your orders, and not mine for some reason. Try to get them to do something they wouldn't normally do."
[19:32] * Harmony nods, taking back the recorder. "Start dancing" She hoofs it back.
[19:32] * Logic_Gates plays it.
[19:32] * Harmony looks to the others. "We could ask them to collect the rest of the valuables in this stable, possibly?"
[19:32] <TenMihara|GM> The ponies start dancing, It looks oddly forced and their movements are haphazard
[19:32] * Purple_Kay starts comparing his copy of the bounty to the ponies present after checking the dead or alive clause.
[19:33] <TenMihara|GM> The bounty poster listed 'DoA'
[19:33] * Logic_Gates nods, then leans back. "Yup. Brainwashed. Guessing by something in the Orchard."
[19:33] <TenMihara|GM> Apparently dead was underlined for being preferable
[19:34] * Purple_Kay sucks his teeth. "I'm going down there, see what I can see about them. See if we can fix any who aren't on this bounty. The ones on here can be the first to go into the orchard."
[19:34] * Razor glances back toward Purple_Kay. "Finally doing something? Can I come too?"
[19:35] <TenMihara|GM> All eight of the ponies present match the bounty, one as the leader, the other seven as suspected underlings.
[19:36] * Purple_Kay "Alright, Kid. Let's go. When I get in there, order them to accept my orders, see if that will work."
[19:36] * Green_Field finally hearing talk of moving out approaches Purple_Kay.
[19:36] * Logic_Gates patted Harmony on the withers. "Congratulations, you have your own brainwashed bandit horde." He sat down, then decided to erase something on the terminal. That... Really didn't need to happen right now. Although, potentially later.
[19:37] * Purple_Kay heads down with those that follow, leaving Logic and Harmony at least to make a recording ordering them to follow his orders. Moving to the orchard would be much easier if they didn't have to devise a way to communicate back up to security."
[19:37] * Green_Field is one of the followers.
[19:37] * Harmony nods and takes the recorder again, giving orders to follow Purple_Kay and his orders as well, giving his description in her orders, before passing it back to Logic_Gates.
[19:38] * Proverb is staying up with Harmony and Logic_Gates
[19:38] <TenMihara|GM> The atrium ponies continue dancing
[19:39] * Purple_Kay hears himself described as he enters the atrium. "Here goes nothing." He takes a breath and loudly orders, "Stop dancing!"
[19:39] * Logic_Gates plays the orders.
[19:39] * Harmony takes the recorder again, making orders to stop dancing.
[19:40] * Logic_Gates does it again!
[19:40] * Harmony doesn't do this. Never mind.
[19:40] * Logic_Gates doesn't do it again!
[19:40] <TenMihara|GM> The ponies do not stop dancing when urple_Kay orders it
[19:40] <TenMihara|GM> *Purple
[19:41] * TicTac2 (TicTac@86-132-31-01.cpe.imoncommunications.net) has joined #FalloutEquestriaPnP3
[19:41] * TicTac2 is now known as TicTac
[19:41] * Razor follows behind Purple_Kay. She eyes the dancing bandit ponies. "So... you want me to try?"
[19:41] * Proverb (TicTac@2002:4174:5910:mivq:himy:imnw:xgpu:zkjp) Quit ( 4174:5910:mivq:himy:imnw:xgpu:zkjp QUIT :Killed (NickServ (GHOST command used by TicTac!TicTac@86-132-31-01.cpe.imoncommunications.net)) )
[19:41] * Purple_Kay "Well, that would be too easy." He goes over to the nearest and examines them for any sign of... modification. Whether it be a mechanical device, a plant, or anything visible."
[19:42] * TicTac is now known as Proverb
[19:42] <TenMihara|GM> Purple_Kay is a mechanic, not a doctor. He can't tell jack shit
[19:42] <TenMihara|GM> except that he can see their pupils are wide
[19:42] * Green_Field does the same.
[19:42] * Proverb is up with Harmony and Logic_Gates.
[19:44] * Harmony goes and sits next to Proverb and smiles coquettishly. "Did you find anything else?"
[19:44] <TenMihara|GM> Green_Field becomes interesting in the boogers of the pony he examines, who smacks him in the face for still being dancing
[19:44] * Proverb meeps. "N-no!... m-m-maybe....... y-y-yeah...."
[19:45] * Purple_Kay carefully examines the bounty, to make sure they are all indeed bandits.
[19:45] * Harmony chuckles. "And what would that be, hmmm?"
[19:45] <TenMihara|GM> They all are
[19:46] <Green_Field> "Ack! Unfortunatly what's going on is beyond me."
[19:46] * Razor glances between the bandits and Purple_Kay. "So...?"
[19:46] * Purple_Kay "Well, they are the bandits, wanted dead or alive, preferably dead. They aren't useful if we can't control them ourselves. Bleed them quick. Then we'll finish with this place."
[19:47] <Proverb> "Uhh... a, a l-lengerie... and.... and a, a r-r-r-riding c-crop... and... a... uhm..." She trails off into a squeak.
[19:48] * Harmony smirks at Proverb. "...and?"
[19:49] * Proverb squeaks something. "...mac..." Is all that's distingishable.
[19:49] * Harmony shrugs and winks at Proverb. "Fun."
[19:50] * Proverb squeaks again, mane falling down from behind her ears to cover her face. She hides behind it.
[19:51] * Logic_Gates looks between Harmony and Proverb. "... Huh." He'd /heard/ of lesbians in legends of yore, but he never seen a pair in person. Neat!
[19:51] * Purple_Kay heads up to the bandit leader looking him in the eyes. "Raided the wrong place, didn't ya? Something here gotcha. Now we'll give the ponies you've assaulted justice."
[19:52] <TenMihara|GM> The brainwashees still haven't stopped dancing
[19:54] * Purple_Kay "Make it clean and quick, Kid."
[19:55] * Harmony smiles at Proverb, who was being adorable, before she sits up and moves back to the cameras, looking to what was going on. She sways her hips and flank on the way.
[19:56] * Proverb stares at that flank from behind her mane-shield.
[19:56] <TenMihara|GM> Proverb gets a wingboner
[19:56] <Proverb> *FWOOMP*
[19:57] * Logic_Gates considers something briefly. Orange film. Orange bag. The orange stuff. That's what's doing this? Potentially. Bandits probably thought they were drugs and got themselves zonked out. "Mind asking the remainder after they have their fun to go and get all the supplies before lining up single-file?"
[19:58] * Razor nods and goes right to it! She starts hacking off heads. The leader she gives special attention, slicing his neck open and watching him bleed out.
[19:58] <Harmony> "I would not mind. Just order them to collect their valuables and supplies? Anything else?"
[19:58] <Logic_Gates> "The education supplies, too."
[19:59] * Proverb drools slightly, wiping her nose with a hoof.
[19:59] * Harmony nods and is about to relay this... before she notices they were all being executed. "Or not..."
[19:59] <TenMihara|GM> The ponies scream as they are decapitated, but those next in line do nothing to defend themselves before being executed
[20:00] * Green_Field has a slight sadistic grin as he realizes that they are aware of what's happening.
[20:01] * Purple_Kay leaves Razor to her work and heads back up to security.
[20:01] * Harmony turns away from the screen. That was a tad... excessive.
[20:01] * Proverb licks her lips... ohhay. That was blood. She wipes her nose with a hoof again.
[20:02] * Logic_Gates shrugs. "Eh. Whatever." Kind of grim, but he isn't about to say anything. Bastards probably killed babies or something. "Record something for me, then. Tell the other P.A. voice that we've killed his minions and we know what's up inside the Orchard. We also know that the orange stuff is what's making ponies brainwashed, and that we have taken steps never to make sure none go into his orchard...
[20:02] * Logic_Gates ...ever again. Celestia have mercy on his soul, yadda yadda."
[20:04] * Harmony relays as much through the recorder.
[20:05] <TenMihara|GM> There is no response. It occurs to Logic that severing the connection may have removed the Orchard occupant's ability to relay anything at all
[20:05] * Purple_Kay gets up to security. "Bounty is fulfilled. We'll take the proof and clean this place out. Give the orchard a wide berth and take everything else that isn't nailed down. Close it up and destroy the outside both terminals to open the door from the inside or the outside."
[20:06] * Proverb is still staring at Harmony's flanks, blood trickling from her nose as PK enters.
[20:07] * Logic_Gates , after the killing of the bandits, kind of realized what they'd done. ".... Shit. Well, I guess we found the caravan." He put the P.A. back on, hoof on the controls in case something gets said that he didn't like.
[20:11] * Purple_Kay flips though his papers... and realizes there is another page he copied on the bounty...
[20:13] * Purple_Kay "Shit." He steps back out and checks the two ponies in the hall before returning. "I thought the two in the hall were the caravaneers, they're on the bounty list too. Haven't accounted for the caravan yet..."
[20:14] <TenMihara|GM> The only thing coming through the other end seems to be rantings unconcerned about the mic that he doesn't know has been reactivated. "This One cannot return with nothing. Perhaps She will accept information on these new ponies. But if This One has no contribution to the harvest... This One could tell Her of the ponies that can order Our Subjects."
[20:14] * Proverb wipes her nose again, sniffing some. She stood back up, folding her wings against her sides, blushing slightly.
[20:16] * Purple_Kay stops talking as the ranting is piped in. "Well... if whatever it is is going to sic something on us, I'm no longer a fan of sealing this place off and just leaving."
[20:17] * Logic_Gates doesn't cut the footage. This... This is interesting. "... We need to burn this place. Burn the orchard quick."
[20:17] * Green_Field satisfied, begins walking back toward the others.
[20:18] <TenMihara|GM> The rantings continue, "This One has no servants left to order and Our connection has been severed. If these ponies can give orders to Our Subjects, then We cannot be sure We can make them subjects instead. This One knows not what to do..."
[20:19] * Logic_Gates smiles. "Who wants to be the one to tell it that we can hear it?"
[20:20] * Harmony frowns. "I do not think we should let it know, if there is a chance to surprise it..."
[20:20] * Purple_Kay "If it has no more subjects... Does that mean the caravaneers are dead? I'm leaning back to looting and leaving."
[20:21] * Proverb frowns. "I... I think we should just seal it off... l-l-let it st-tarve to d-death..."
[20:22] <TenMihara|GM> "This One could use the now unharvestable as Servants, but then these ponies could just give them orders again..." it trails off again
[20:23] * Logic_Gates smirks. "I don't think it has any more tricks. I..." And then she said that. "... Okay, back to burning it."
[20:24] * Purple_Kay "Shit! They are still alive. And they are down there with it." He hits his ammochanger back to HE. "I think we should go check out the orchard. Finish this."
[20:26] * Harmony nods in agreement to Purple_Kay.
[20:26] <TenMihara|GM> There is an odd wretching, squelching sound, and then nothing else comes over the broadcaster.
[20:26] <TenMihara|GM> PA system rather
[20:27] * Green_Field walks into the security room, "so what's our next move?"
[20:27] * Purple_Kay heads to the Atrium to round up Razor.
[20:28] * Proverb fidgets with her rifle nervously.
[20:28] * Harmony follows after Purple_Kay.
[20:28] * Proverb is also following Harmony and Purple_Kay
[20:29] * Logic_Gates frowns. "... Harmony, lemme give you a little lesson on how this works in a bit. Purple, go get as many cases of something flammable as you can. Propane, Butane, Kerosene, anything. Proverb, go back to the Overmare's office and see what you can find out about the vent system. Everyone else, make sure those things don't jump us."
[20:31] * Purple_Kay splashes through the puddles absentmindedly as he makes his way through the atrium. He stops as Logic speaks. They are at least all assembled now. "We can't just blow it up. Those caravaneers are in there, And it said it coulldn't do..." He motions to the corpses. "That to them. Or hasn't yet."
[20:32] * Harmony stops as well. "Lesson on what?"
[20:32] * Proverb stops as well.
[20:33] * Green_Field follows the others. Stopping and starting as they do.
[20:34] <TenMihara|GM> If Logic_Gates pulled out the layout plans of the Stable, he'd be able to see that the quickest way to the orchard would be through the engineering section, which was through the door on the right from the entrance hall.
[20:35] * Purple_Kay "Whatever that pony did, it is getting despirate enough to do it to more ponies, and this time to some who don't deserve it. I think we should error on the side of speed. "He then realizes he stormed out without really knowing where he was going. "If you have a plan, lets walk and talk. Lead the way. But if there are ponies in there that don't need to die, I don't want to kill them.
[20:36] * Logic_Gates points towards the security room's terminal. "Splicing audio footage. It's simple once you know what to do." He looks at Purple_Kay. "Yeah. And we need to loot this place. What's your idea? I was just thinking of getting everything salvagable, checking in on possible exits, making sure something doesn't get into..." The vent system. "We need to move, now. I'll get to the overmare's office...
[20:36] * Logic_Gates ...ASAP, try to seal it off. You need to make sure it doesn't get to engineering and, more specifically, ventilation. Because that means it's going to get this stuff in our lungs somehow."
[20:38] * Purple_Kay is no longer really following, he thought they just needed to go down to the orchard and shoot something in the face. But if Giggy is this worked up... When Logic_Gates points him to engineering, he goes their with haste.
[20:38] * Logic_Gates starts heading back. "I think it's making one last desperate bid to get to us. Sacrificing those unharvested things to put that orange stuff in the air system."
[20:39] * Logic_Gates points at Engineering. "Remember, don't breathe it in! Don't even try to let it touch you!"
[20:39] * Purple_Kay gallops toward engineering.
[20:39] * Logic_Gates starts galloping to security. "Harmony! Get to the overmare's office and give me the floor plan!"
[20:40] * Proverb isn't quite sure what to do.
[20:41] * Harmony does as told, heading to the overmare's office.
[20:42] * Razor glances between Logic_Gates and Purple_Kay. "Why do we care about them again? We should just leave!"
[20:43] * Green_Field turns back to follow Logic_Gates, "what 'orange stuff'?"
[20:44] * Logic_Gates blinks. "That orange stuff that Razor has! It's everywhere in the Orchard!"
[20:44] * Purple_Kay calls back as he runs. "Whoever is doing this has some contact with someone outside. I would rather kill them now than have to deal with their friends later. Corpses don't seek revenge."
[20:45] * Harmony collects the floor plan and moves back to Proverb. "Proverb, go and get this to Logic_Gates."
[20:45] * Proverb ended up following Harmony.
[20:46] * Proverb nods, taking them and zipping off to where Logic_Gates was. "L-Logic! Got, g-got the plans!"
[20:46] * Razor snorts. "Yeah. And neither do we if something goes wrong! We got what we came for."
[20:47] * Green_Field quickly turns around again to talk to Razor, "let me see that orange stuff you picked up."
[20:47] * Harmony follows as quickly as she can to engineering.
[20:48] * Logic_Gates reads them over, then tries to seal all doors between the orchard and Engineering. Sealing all doors on the Orchard in general, actually.
[20:48] * Harmony actually goes back to Logic_Gates in security. "Do you need anything else?"
[20:49] * Purple_Kay arrives in engineering. He starts looking for the ventilation system Giggy thinks is key.
[20:50] * Logic_Gates starts pulling up the P.A. system. "I need you to try to talk the thing into negotiations. Try to get the caravan out of there safely. Here's how you patch yourself in..."
[20:51] * Proverb stands nearby.
[20:52] * Purple_Kay tries to find a wayt to flush the ventilation system. See if he can purge the orchard air to the outside where it will dissipate.
[20:52] <TenMihara|GM> The ventilation system is stashed off to the side amongst a number of other utilities, including soil regulation for the orchard and where the water talisman would have been before it was removed by the departing Stable Dwellers.
[20:53] * Logic_Gates looks at Proverb. "You. You stay around us. If worst comes to worst, and they get Purple_Kay then make damn sure that we stay safe."
[20:53] <TenMihara|GM> There are air controls specifically for the orchard for mixing Carbon Dioxide and Oxygen properly between the orchard and the rest of the stable. There's also a flashing warning that indicates an airborne contaminant
[20:54] * Proverb nods. Beleive it or not, after PK, she was the oldest in the group. "R-Roger."
[20:54] * Harmony is 24.
[20:55] * Razor has totally been following Purple_Kay the whole time.
[20:55] * Proverb stands corrected. Silly ponies.
[20:55] * Green_Field is also 24.
[20:55] * Logic_Gates tries to patch a message down to engineering. "PK- Is there anything that could potentially neutralize the orange brainwash powder in the orchard? ~LG"
[20:55] * Harmony nods to Logic_Gates. "What should I address 'This One' as?"
[20:56] <TenMihara|GM> According to a log on the ventilation readout, the orchard door was opened minutes earlier and the contaminant was vented up and out, but the Orchard was sealed again to prevent any more leakage. A manual override was needed to completely vent the orchard itself.
[20:57] * Logic_Gates blinks. "I dunno. A pronoun? That's what I do whenever I don't know what to call somepony."
[20:57] * Purple_Kay snorts. Out the door? He doesn't want to vent it through the stable itself. Is that supposed to mean an external door?
[20:57] <TenMihara|GM> Purple_Kay might want to ask Logic, consider he has the Stable Layout plans in front of him
[20:58] * Harmony rolls her eyes. "Right. Just tell me when you would like me to address it, if not now."
[20:58] * Purple_Kay doens't really have a way to communicate with him. He looks around for a PA connection or microphone.
[20:58] * Logic_Gates floats over the recorder. "Now's good!"
[21:00] * Logic_Gates blinks. "I suppose you could always ask for a name."
[21:04] * Purple_Kay curses as he looks for a way to communicate with the other half.
[21:04] <TenMihara|GM> The Engineering section does have an emergency PA Override on the wall 'For Emergencies Only'
[21:05] * Purple_Kay hits the override. "LG, need an airtight path from O-Door to the World. Do I have it? -PK"
[21:05] * Harmony nods and starts recording. She isn't exactly sure how to address 'This One'... "To whomever was controlling the bandits, we would like to speak with you in negotiations for the caravanners. How shall I address you, and would you be willing to parlay in peace?" She patches this through, following Logic_Gates' instruction.
[21:07] * Green_Field asking Razor again, "let me see that powder you picked up."
[21:08] * Logic_Gates looks over the floor plan.
[21:08] * Razor turns to Green_Field and tosses him the bag of powder.
[21:09] <TenMihara|GM> The ventilation emergency override immediately flushes the Stable out through a separate Vent that leads up through the ground and out into the open air.
[21:09] * Green_Field catches it and begins looking at it with out touching it.
[21:10] <TenMihara|GM> The pinkish-orange powder is in a clear, thin plastic bag, as though it was meant to deliberately break open if thrown.
[21:11] <TenMihara|GM> Green is actually lucky it didn't burst when he caught it
[21:11] <TenMihara|GM> Yay TK
[21:11] * Purple_Kay is happy he figured that out. That is exactly what he was hoping for. "Hold on to anything you don't want to fly away. Depending on how they set this up it could get windy in here." He goes over to the PA and hits it. "Flushing in five!"
[21:12] * Green_Field makes sure the bag is closed.
[21:12] * Purple_Kay moves over to ventilation system, and forces the emegency ventilation purge.
[21:14] <TenMihara|GM> There's a great whooshing sound that reverberates throughout the Stable as the Orchard is vented, but the room was sealed airtight, so the pressure doesn't change elsewhere.
[21:15] * Logic_Gates really hopes that the venting didn't get to anyone!
[21:17] * Purple_Kay figures it will quickly dissipate to harmless levels once outside. "Well, Kid? do you wanna wait for them or do you wanna go find that fucker in the orchard?"
[21:18] * Razor grins. "Which way?"
[21:18] * Logic_Gates checks on the camera in the Orchard.
[21:18] <TenMihara|GM> The orange tint is gone, but it's still really dark in there.
[21:19] * Purple_Kay "What about you, Doc? You game? If they get them to surrender with words, fine. But I don't think whoever it is will. You coming along?"
[21:20] <Green_Field> "Knowing the two of you, you'll  need me"
[21:21] * Green_Field puts the bag away ready to follow them out.
[21:21] * Purple_Kay heads out to where he thinks the orchard will be, cautiously and looking for signs to verify. He hasn't heard it respont to Harmony's offer of parlay. If it does, so be it, but when it doesn't, he plans to end it.
[21:21] * Harmony frowns and turns to Logic_Gates. "I guess the message was not heard? Should we go to the orchard as well?"
[21:22] <TenMihara|GM> The Orchard entrance is pretty obviously marked, but the door is closed
[21:23] * Logic_Gates replays the message, and adjusts the volume. If it's not heard then, then there's no hope.
[21:23] <TenMihara|GM> There is still no response
[21:24] * Harmony sighs. "We should move. They may need more help."
[21:24] * Razor follows behind Purple_Kay, weapon in her teeth.
[21:24] * Purple_Kay waits. He can probably hotwire the door, but he gives it a change to respond or a chance for Logic to send another message.
[21:24] * Proverb nods, hoisting her rifle.
[21:24] <TenMihara|GM> The door isn't locked
[21:25] <TenMihara|GM> it was just shut airtight (yay pneumatics) to keep the contaminant in
[21:25] * Harmony pulls out her plasma pistol and starts to run off to the orchard, looking for Purple_Kay.
[21:25] * Proverb gallops off after Harmony (dem flanks)
[21:26] * Green_Field pulls his revolver out and stands back behind the others.
[21:26] * Purple_Kay checks the door controls, he had assumed it was locked, but it doesn't look that way. "Doc. You wanna handle the controls? Don't open it yet, but when we are ready, open it."
[21:26] * Logic_Gates records his own message. "It's dark in there. Bring some light."
[21:27] <Green_Field> "Will do."
[21:29] * Purple_Kay doesn't really have a light, but since he is talking about the light in there, he figures they are on their way. He stand by Razor and waits. "Sounds like they are on their way. Might as well share the fun."
[21:29] * Harmony arrives after a few more moments, plasma pistol ready.
[21:30] * Proverb is right behind her.
[21:32] <TenMihara|GM> The Gang's all here except for Mission Control aka Logic_Gates
[21:32] * Proverb aims her rifle towards the door.
[21:32] * Purple_Kay looks to Green. "Open it up." He takes up his control yoke ready to fire.
[21:32] * Green_Field opens the door.
[21:33] <TenMihara|GM> the door opens and... it's still really dark in there. Only the weak light of the Engineering section spills in, and it doesn't get too far.
[21:34] * Green_Field steps in front of the door and casts light.
[21:34] * Purple_Kay peers into the darkness, trying to pick anything out as Green starts illuminating it
[21:34] * Proverb aims down her scope.
[21:34] <TenMihara|GM> Green Field's first footstep hits something slimey, and his light reveals what it is. Some kind of thick orange goo on the floor.
[21:35] <TenMihara|GM> With the assitance of the light, Purple_Kay can see that there's a lot of this orange resin covering the orchard.
[21:35] * Logic_Gates tries to work the lights. He supposes it isn't working.
[21:35] * Harmony keeps her pistol aimed forward.
[21:35] <Green_Field> "Hmm."
[21:35] <TenMihara|GM> The orchard was meant to be lit by a spell that nopony here knows how to cast
[21:36] <Proverb> "M-Maybe we should just, you know, st-tart shooting a lot... Or I could fly in..."
[21:36] <TenMihara|GM> Purple_Kay and those in the light field can also see the dried up, dead husks of apple trees throughout the room, some of them with that same orange goop dripping from them
[21:36] * Purple_Kay takes a scrap of cloth from his sewing kit and wraps it around one of the wrenches he picked up.
[21:37] <Harmony> "Flying in blind is not a very good idea..."
[21:37] <TenMihara|GM> The goop is also sticky
[21:37] * Purple_Kay takes his lighter out. "Let's see if it's flammable" He lights the improvised torch and tosses it in.
[21:38] * Green_Field picking his hoof up and seeing the goop stick, "wonderful."
[21:38] * Green_Field get's back quickly.
[21:38] * Razor eyes the inside of the orchard as Purple_Kay tosses the torch. She mutters, "Ugh..."
[21:38] <TenMihara|GM> The Torch lights up easily, and then so does half the room. The dry dead trees and apparently very flammable resin spread the fire quickly. The light of the flames reveals several orange pods made of the resin at the back of the orchard. Each one, seven in total, contains a pony.
[21:39] * Proverb backwings away from the now-flaming room.
[21:39] * Logic_Gates tries the P.A. one last time. "'Sup?"
[21:40] <TenMihara|GM> Aside from the pods at the bakc of the room, which the flames are encroahing on rather quickly, the room is unoccupied.
[21:41] <Proverb> "L-Lets get out of, o-of here..."
[21:41] * Purple_Kay kicks himself into a gallop, trying to angle his way through the flames to the pods.
[21:41] * Proverb then facehooves.
[21:41] * Harmony winces. "Mister Kay...."
[21:42] <TenMihara|GM> Purple_Kay can take the heat, but while the stuff is liberally sprayed around the room, it is not entirely unavoidable
[21:42] * Green_Field to Purple_Kay after the fire on his hoof goes out, "how about a fucking warning next time!?"
[21:42] <TenMihara|GM> Logic_Gates can only see the pods and their occupants, the fire, and Purple_Kay rushing to them.
[21:43] * Purple_Kay is darting through the room, his shoulder aching.
[21:43] <Proverb> "Should I... g-go after him?"
[21:43] * Purple_Kay won't kill innocents in another fire!
[21:44] * Purple_Kay starts trying to cut them free when he gets to the one most in danger by the fire.
[21:47] * Purple_Kay slashs away with his knife. He hopes they are conscious inside, or will be once freed. He can't carry all seven.
[21:47] * Razor calls inside, "What the hell are you doing!?"
[21:47] <TenMihara|GM> The first pony cut free coughs and splutters, then sees the fire and screams, "What's happening?!"
[21:48] * Logic_Gates attempts to look through the floor plans for any fire prevention systems. A water pump, a sprinkler system, a fire extinguisher, just about anything.
[21:48] * Purple_Kay moves on to the next. "Orange stuff is flammable. Your friends are inside these pods. I hope you have a knife!"
[21:49] <TenMihara|GM> Logic_Gates could trigger another emergency venting, putting all the air out of the room and snuffing the flames for lack of oxygen. He isn't sure if that would kill the ponies inside or just knock them unconscious though.
[21:49] * Logic_Gates doesn't like that option and will save that in case shit goes really bad!!
[21:50] <TenMihara|GM> The mare screams again as she catches sight of the other pods. She points to two in particular, "I don't have anything. My husband and son... please!"
[21:51] * Purple_Kay "KID! I NEED MORE CUTTING POWER IN HERE!"
[21:51] * Purple_Kay is working frantically at the next pod.
[21:52] * Proverb looks down at the others. "D-Does anypony h-have a knife?"
[21:52] * Logic_Gates tries to find any water hoses, any fire extinguishers close by in the engineering section.
[21:52] <TenMihara|GM> The pod opens easily enough, Purple_Kay just can't move between them very quickly because of his previous injuries and bad leg. There are no water systems working because there's no water talsiman.
[21:52] * Harmony frowns and shakes her head. "I do not..." She starts to pace, unsure of what to do.
[21:53] * Purple_Kay moves on to the next most in danger pod
[21:53] <TenMihara|GM> Purple_Kay has now cut open the foal's pod, the colt scrambling to reach his mother. The flames are getting very close as he starts on the third one
[21:53] * Razor hesitates for a moment, then lets out a frustrated growl and runs in after him. "You're fucking crazy, you know that!?"
[21:54] * Purple_Kay calls to the mother as he cuts on the next "In my pack are blankets, clean any of that stuff off him!"
[21:54] * Proverb sighs. "Screw it!" She barrels into the room, flying above the flames, heading towards the colt. "I can carry some out!"
[21:55] <TenMihara|GM> Razor isn't going to get to the pods before the flames do. Logic is the only one that can snuff them
[21:55] * Logic_Gates starts recording frantically, then looks for any sort of fire extinguisher other than... That. He was guessing that wasn't going to happen.
[21:56] <TenMihara|GM> Logic finds nothing else, and sees that Razor isn't going to have enough time via the security monitor
[21:57] * Logic_Gates frowns and plays the message. And it was something that was said with more tension, more pulse, more anxiety than he thought possible of himself. "HOLD YOUR BREATH AND HOLD ONTO SOMETHING!"
[21:58] * Proverb is in midair, has nothing to hold onto!
[21:59] * Purple_Kay "Shit!" looks around, waving to Proverb in the air.
[21:59] * Proverb dives towards the colt. "I'll carry him out!"
[21:59] <TenMihara|GM> Logic has mere moments to make his decision, the flames are almot to the pods, Razor won't make it in tame and Purple_Kay has only opened three of seven
[22:00] <TenMihara|GM> almost
[22:00] * Logic_Gates frowns and hits the switch.
[22:01] <TenMihara|GM> WHOOSH!
[22:01] * Purple_Kay "No time!" He pushes the colt and mother to the ground, and Proverb too, pinning them beneath him if ihe can.
[22:03] <TenMihara|GM> The flames are instantly snuffed as the air is violently sucked out of the room. All of the uncocooned occupants feel like they ran face first into a brick wall as their lungs are violated by the rapid pressure change. Proverb, Razor, the Colt and his mother immediately pass out, while Purple_Kay manages to stay awake long enough for air from the rest of the Stable to start comign back in throug
[22:03] <TenMihara|GM> However, no more fire
[22:04] * Proverb goes limp! Yay for not having air!
[22:04] * Logic_Gates decides now would be the best time to start galloping down there, being sure to hit up an emergency medical thing for a bottle of oxygen.
[22:04] * Green_Field immediately runs up to start applying first aid.
[22:04] * Purple_Kay takes a few ragged breaths, checking Proverb for breathing first, then the colt and the mother.
[22:05] <TenMihara|GM> With attention from Green and Purple_Kay, the unconscious ponies begin breathing properly again, although the colt and Razor remain unconscious for the moment.
[22:05] * Green_Field tries to catch Proverb with TK before she hits the ground.
[22:05] * Razor does the unconscious thing
[22:05] <TenMihara|GM> Proverb starts to come around, as does the mother. The father, though winded, stayed conscious
[22:05] * Harmony follows into the room, galloping, she knew that the perpetrator was still around and keeps her pistol out.
[22:06] * Proverb had already hit the ground before Green_Field had entered the room.
[22:07] <TenMihara|GM> The room is now dark again
[22:08] * Purple_Kay gets to his hooves in the darkness. "Some light, Doc?"
[22:09] <Green_Field> Except for Green's light.
[22:11] <TenMihara|GM> The room is dark but for Green's light, four ponies are still podded and there's no sign of the culprit, but everyone except the bandits is still alive.
[22:11] * Purple_Kay passes the father in heading toward the pods. "How many were in your caravan?"
[22:11] * Razor keeps doing the unconscious thing
[22:12] * Proverb gasps for air. Her right foreleg is bent at an odd angle. She whimpers.
[22:12] * Green_Field looks everypony over that was in the room to see how banged up they are.
[22:13] <TenMihara|GM> The father pants a bit, "Me, my wife, our son, and two guards." He points to two more of the pods, "I suspect the other two were folks like us that got nabbed by those bandits. But after that... man, I couldn't even begin to know what the fuck was going on."
[22:14] <Green_Field> "Were you exposed to the orange slime or podeer?"
[22:14] <Green_Field> Powder*
[22:14] * Purple_Kay hooves him his knife if he doesn't have one already. "Cut them loose, be mindful of the ones that aren't yours... maybe hold off on them for a bit. Need to check on my own." He heads to Razor.
[22:14] <TenMihara|GM> The cocooned ponies are presently drenched in a runnier form of the orange goop
[22:14] * Proverb attempts to get up, only to yelp and fall back onto her side.
[22:15] * Harmony walks over to Proverb, looking concerned at seeing her leg. "Proverb?"
[22:15] <TenMihara|GM> The father cuts out his two guards, then steps over to the other two pods, "There are the ones I don't know. Anythign we should worry about?"
[22:15] * Proverb whimpers.
[22:15] <Proverb> "L-L-Leg's... b-broken..."
[22:17] * Harmony frowns. "I am sure Mister Green can help..." She nuzzles Proverb.
[22:17] * Purple_Kay "Not sure where the one who took you is yet. The bandits are dead." He checks Razor's breathing before trying to rouse here.
[22:17] <Purple_Kay> her*
[22:18] * Logic_Gates tries to rejoin the others. "Oh no oh no oh no oh no."
[22:18] <TenMihara|GM> The father shakes his head, "The bandits took us, but as for these... pod things? Some giant, crazy bug talking about how we were going to be 'harvested' before knocking us out and sliming us or whatever that stuff is."
[22:18] * Green_Field to Purple_Kay, "I'll get her awake." And, wakes her and the foal up.
[22:19] <TenMihara|GM> The Father looks to Purple_Kay, "If you saw it, you'd know it."
[22:20] * Purple_Kay nods. "Then we don't know where it went. Cut the other two loose. If what you say is what happened, then it isn't going to be pretending to be one of you."
[22:20] * Proverb whimpers again, returning Harmony's nuzzle.
[22:20] * Green_Field turns his attention to Proverb, "don't move, we need to set that."
[22:20] <TenMihara|GM> The father blinks, "Pretending, what's that mean?" He begins cutting the first pod, a mare, open. She slides out with a squelch and wobbles to her hooves.
[22:22] * Purple_Kay "Well, we didn't see anything when we got in. No sign of it. Only heard its voice. Thought maybe it was some weird unicorn or some such. If it could look pony it could put itself in a pod and escape. But if it is a big fucking bug creature, no worry of that."
[22:22] * Razor takes a bit to get woken up. She's pretty confused and dazed. "What the hell...?"
[22:23] * Purple_Kay runs a hoof over Razor's mane as she stirs. "Well, that was rough on you. You went under when they flushed the system to put out the fire."
[22:24] <TenMihara|GM> The Father shakes his head, "I don't think so. I've seen that one reaper, Feelers, do that during a match once, but this thing was way bigger than he was. It was kind of a similar shape, but there was a lot more orange than the little Bug reaper ever had on him."
[22:24] * Green_Field to Proverb, "hold still, this should help." He lights his horn and touches her leg.
[22:24] * Logic_Gates frowns. "Let's get out of this room.
[22:24] <TenMihara|GM> The mare that the father cut out wimpers a bit and backs up, looking sheepish but not saying anything.
[22:25] <TenMihara|GM> The father then steps up to the next pod and cuts it open.
[22:27] <TenMihara|GM> This one holds another mare who gets up slowly and shudders, "Wha... was that all... ewewewew... not a dream. Definitely not a dream."
[22:28] <TenMihara|GM> "Ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww..."
[22:28] * Razor gives Purple_Kay a confused look. "Uh..."
[22:29] * Green_Field asks Proverb, "better?"
[22:29] * Purple_Kay offers Razor a hoof. "Thanks for coming." He smiles.
[22:29] * Proverb smiles to Green_Field. "Th-thanks..." She gets up slowly, easing weight onto the leg, noddin.
[22:29] * Green_Field helps her up.
[22:31] <Proverb> "We... w-we should get o-out of here..."
[22:31] * Razor continues giving a confused look. "...What?"
[22:32] * Purple_Kay "You came to help, and I appreciate it. Sorry the whole no air thing got to you. Can you stand?"
[22:33] <TenMihara|GM> The silent mare shrinks away from the one making a fuss about the grossness of the situation
[22:34] * Green_Field seeing that Proverb is ok, goes over to inspect the ponies that were in the pods.
[22:36] * Purple_Kay continues to offer Razor a hoof up.
[22:36] * Razor "Oh." She snorts, ignoring the hoof. "Don't read too much into it..." She gets to her hooves, slowly, on her own, glancing over at the mare making a fuss. "Will you shut up!?"
[22:37] * Purple_Kay lowers his hoof and trots over to the gross mare. He pulls out one of his blankets and drapes it over her. "You're gonna be fine. Scrub up."
[22:38] <TenMihara|GM> The mare glares back at Razor, "Just because you plebians don't know how to bathe properly doesn't mean I have to tolerate being disgusting. Now then, I do owe you some thanks though for getting me out of there. My name is Gold Standard." She gives a curtsey, "Thank you for your rescue efforts."
[22:39] * Proverb raises an eyebrow.
[22:39] * Harmony frowns at the fussy mare, reminding her of those whom she once attended. She looks at the mare, trying to see if she recognized her.
[22:41] * Proverb frowns, adjusting her eyepatch.
[22:41] * Razor glares at the mare and spits at the ground in her direction. "Try it again, maybe next time you'll make me /not/ want to break your snout."
[22:42] * Purple_Kay , who had given a blanket to a different gross mare, smiles at the posh mare. He digs out his second blanket and offers a slight bow as he offers it to her. "You are most welcome, Miss. We are thankful we were able to liberate you and the other who were abducted."
[22:42] <Purple_Kay> others*
[22:44] * Harmony turns away from the fussy mare, still frowning.
[22:44] * Proverb looks over at Harmony. "Uhm, y-you alright?"
[22:45] <TenMihara|GM> The mare nods, "I hope you're not looking for a reward right away, because I don't have anything on me." She takes the towel and begins cleaning off, ignoring Razor completely now. "Not that I'd mind giving you one. Noblesse Oblige and all that. I think that's how my mom pronounces it anyways."
[22:45] <TenMihara|GM> The quiet mare bears a look of total confusion.
[22:46] * Harmony nods. "Fine."
[22:47] * Proverb looks back at the fancymare. "Is... i-is she one o-of those S-Society ponies?"
[22:47] * Green_Field takes a closer look at the quiet one particularly her eyes.
[22:47] <Harmony> "...Yes."
[22:48] * Purple_Kay gives a gentle smile. "We came here on other business, but are happy we were able to assist others. If you'll excuse me, I need to speak to the others and we need to move to a safer, and better lit, location." He moves over to check on the quiet pony who was shying away next.
[22:49] <Proverb> "O-Oh... will sh-she, uhm, r-recognise you?"
[22:50] <TenMihara|GM> The quiet one looks nervously at Purple_Kay and Green. There's nothing wrong with her eyes so far as they can tell, except that she looks confused.
[22:50] * Harmony shrugs. "I... do not know. It would be best not to let her notice me..."
[22:51] * Razor likes the quiet one. She doesn't say annoying and dumb things like the snobby one.
[22:51] <Green_Field> "Hey I'm a doctor are you ok?"
[22:51] * Purple_Kay looks between Green and the mare before settling down to her level. "Hello there. You are alright. I'm Purple_Kay and this is Green_Field, he's a doctor. Are you alright?"
[22:51] <TenMihara|GM> Gold finishes drying off and gives Purple_Kay his towel back, then turns to the caravan family, "Are you guys heading near or to The Society's HQ at all? I could use a ride home."
[22:51] <TenMihara|GM> The mare doesn't speak, but nods slowly
[22:52] * Proverb nods, turning back towards Gold, eyeing her with her one eye.
[22:52] * Purple_Kay keeps a warm smile on his face. "Can you speak?"
[22:53] <TenMihara|GM> The father responds, "If you wouldn't mind a bit of a ferrying charge, we could head that way with you, otherwise we wanna head back to Megamart and try to see what we can do with our Caravan wrecked now."
[22:53] <TenMihara|GM> The mare shakes her head and opens her mouth. She's had he tongue cut out.
[22:53] <TenMihara|GM> her
[22:53] * Purple_Kay feared as much.
[22:54] * Proverb starts thinking. "Uhm, M-Miss Gold, where is The Society's HQ, a-anyway?"
[22:54] * Purple_Kay lowers his voice. "Are you a slave? Does someone here consider you theirs?"
[22:55] * Green_Field makes sure not to react to her not having it cut out, he's seen it before, "we'll get you out of here, we'll keep you safe."
[22:55] <TenMihara|GM> The mare shakes her head and closes her mouth, then paws at the ground with a hoof.
[22:56] * Purple_Kay "Is it her?" He makes a small gesture with his head indicating the fancy mare.
[22:57] <TenMihara|GM> Gold looks over her shoulder and winces, "Ouch, that's gotta suck something awful. Heard slavers do that to discourage back talk. Awful." She turns to Purple_Kay, "The society treats their servants right. We'd never do that." She then looks to Proverb, "Why do you ask?"
[22:58] * Purple_Kay makes a mental note that Gold has excellent hearing, but otherwise stays focused on the mare.
[22:58] <TenMihara|GM> Gold Standard looks like a teenager
[22:58] * Harmony is fuming silently. She pulls out her pistol, and sits silently.
[22:58] <TenMihara|GM> The quiet mare shuffles nervously under the staring
[22:59] * Proverb shrugs. "C-Curious, is all." She adjusts her eyepatch. 'And you fuckers are after Harmony' She thinks to herself.
[23:00] * Green_Field to Purple_Kay, "you should check with them to get a plan worked up, I'll take care of her."
[23:01] * Purple_Kay nods and whispers to him. "See if you can find out if her master is here. If not, we can find a place for her, or try. If her master is nearby, we might have to take some action." He rises and heads to the father, to get back his knife at least.
[23:01] * Logic_Gates is sitting in the corner, quite relieved.
[23:01] * Green_Field nods before PK gets up.
[23:02] <TenMihara|GM> The father returns Purple_Kay's knife. "How's that other mare doing? The plucky one seems fine enough, but that one is awful quiet."
[23:02] * Purple_Kay takes a moment to hand Green his drafting kit. She might no how to write.
[23:02] * Purple_Kay "I think she'll be fine. You heard of any slavers around here?"
[23:03] * Proverb nudges Harmony reassuringly.
[23:03] <TenMihara|GM> The father shrugs, "I heard tell that a bunch of smaller operations were getting banded together by some cunt, but I try to keep myself away from shit like that. I was born an honest pony and it got me a good family and, until recently, a decent bit of work, so I plan to stay that way."
[23:04] * Harmony gives Proverb a weak smile.
[23:04] * Razor trots over to Purple_Kay.
[23:05] * Logic_Gates , nonetheless, is hyperventilating. A plan shouldn't go south so quick and recoil so fast.
[23:05] * Proverb whispers into Harmony's ear. "I'll keep her distracted from you."
[23:05] * Green_Field smiling at the quiet mare and speaking softly, "do you know any of the ponies?"
[23:05] * Purple_Kay nods. "Yeah, setting up in a place called Paradise. Give it a wide berth." He looks around in the darkness. "We should move up to security, better lighting and less... orange."
[23:06] <TenMihara|GM> The mare shakes her head and grabs the pencil, scribbling in a barely legible scrawl; "Name Daisy. Helped Escape by other slave friend. Fell in hole and saw big bug thing. Now here. Confuzded." She sets the pencil down.
[23:08] * Logic_Gates quietly picked himself up, dusted himself and his lab coat off, and then proceeded to go loot the ever loving hell out of the stable.
[23:09] <TenMihara|GM> Logic_Gates doesn't find much of value, but there are a couple of books in the old classroom
[23:10] <Green_Field> "Would you be able to show us where this hole is?"
[23:10] * Proverb takes a step over towards Gold. "So, where's the HQ?"
[23:10] * Purple_Kay takes some steps toward the light of the orchard exit. "Keep an eye and ear out Kid, don't know where that bug went, if it didn't just explode itself."
[23:12] * Logic_Gates picked the books up and decided to start to look for anything else of value the Collegiate might need. Or, in his case, would give him leverage over them.
[23:13] <TenMihara|GM> Daisy shakes her head. She looked very disoriented
[23:14] * Razor nods and retrieves her weapon, then trots out ahead of Purple_Kay.
[23:15] * Purple_Kay staggers a bit in the darkness, teetering to the right but catching himself. Apparently running on the leg wore it out. Stupid adrenilin.
[23:16] <TenMihara|GM> Gold Standard looks to the two groups, "Well, you guys seem to have your own stuff to take care of." she turns to the merchant family, "If you wanna give me that escort back to the Society, maybe we can help you get your business back up again. You got hit by bandits, right?"
[23:17] * Purple_Kay stands in the light of the exit. "Come along, let's walk and talk and stick together. "
[23:17] * Proverb snorts, turning back to Harmony, nuzzling her a bit. "Come on, let's go."
[23:18] <TenMihara|GM> Logic's other book is 'Zebra Infiltration Tactics." he also finds a pre-war Atlas, some old weather charts, and a map of the geocentric pony solar system.
[23:18] * Razor looks out for any giant bugs on the way out
[23:18] * Harmony nuzzles back and starts to move out of the orchard.
[23:18] * Proverb trots after her.
[23:19] * Purple_Kay waits for the father to catch up and speaks softly to him. "Might want to have your colt cover his eyes through the Atrium. Nasty business in there with the bandits. He doesn't need to see it."
[23:20] * Green_Field still to Daisy, "it's probably a good idea for us to go with them, co hme on. I'll explain where you are on the way." He helps her up and starts leading her out still with his light on.
[23:20] <TenMihara|GM> The group trots out of the orchard together and back through the rest of the Stable, walking and talking. Gold Standard takes no notice of Harmony. The father nods and lifts his colt unto his back while keepign his wife close. The two guards pause in front of the atrium ,eyeing the pile of weapons and armour, "Hey, mind if we take some of those?" The father pointedly keeps his foal turned away f
[23:21] <TenMihara|GM> Daisy follows Green a bit sheepishly
[23:21] * Purple_Kay nods. "Take armor and a gun for yourselves, you'll need something for the Wasteland. But the majority is for our troubles, you understand."
[23:22] <TenMihara|GM> The Guards nod and each take a set of armoured barding and one weapon. "understandable. You saved our hides, so your call."
[23:23] <TenMihara|GM> The first guard takes a 10mm Pistol and checks the load on it, the other grabs a baton.
[23:24] <TenMihara|GM> *turns his foal away from the mess
[23:25] * Logic_Gates stashes all of them away, wondering who put these books away, and what their agenda was. He decided not to question it, being an issue entirely too late. And while they would appreciate the atlas, and the model... Well. He needed something with a bit more wow factor. And he just so happened to have a room full of something that... Well. Wow was a thing you said to it. He snuck down and...
[23:25] * Logic_Gates ...carefully scooped a decent amount of the... Stuff into a beaker, and then sealed the beaker and rejoined the others.
[23:28] <TenMihara|GM> Left in the pile were 6 sets of Security Barding (100%, Stable 84 Logo on them), Two more 10mm Pistols, a beat up looking Laser Rifle, Two batons and a Single-Shot 20 Gauge.
[23:29] * Green_Field takes a 10mm pistol.
[23:29] * Purple_Kay takes a moment to address the group when they get to Security. "I need to do disarm a few mines before you can safely leave. I'll return shortly." He then goes to get back the two mines he first set and start checking for a workshop. They worked on good stuff here. Maybe he could come up with some specialty tools, or even a PipBuck if he is really lucky.
[23:30] * Razor pretty much ignores the pile and keeps going, still looking out for the bug.
[23:31] * Logic_Gates sighed in relief. "I found a model and other things." He looks at the pile. "... Mind if I take some armor?"
[23:31] <Green_Field> "Give me one of those armors as well."
[23:31] * Harmony takes the Laser Rifle, checking its condition and if it had Micro-Sparkle cells already loaded.
[23:32] * Proverb is pretty well armed and armored already, though, she does offer the 36 10mm round she got earlier to Green_Field.
[23:33] <TenMihara|GM> Back in the engineering section, Purple_Kay does manage to find a Spell Matrix Master-Key, a Pipbuck Biometric Lock Release Key, but no actual PipBucks. Apparently they all got taken out by the Stable exiters. He also finds two sensor modules and a Magical Conducting Array
[23:33] * Green_Field gladly takes the ammo.
[23:33] <TenMihara|GM> The Laser Rifle is in Poor Condition (50%), and the cell inside only has 1/3 of it's charge left (8 shots)
[23:33] * Harmony glances at Logic_Gates. "Would you like this rifle? I will take it... if not."
[23:35] * Logic_Gates gives her a swipe of a hoof. "You get it. Can't really handle the big stuff too well."
[23:35] * Harmony nods.
[23:35] * Proverb paces.
[23:36] * Logic_Gates paces. "I need to impress the Collegiate a lot. I'm wondering how."
[23:36] * Proverb looks like she's thinking pretty hard about something.
[23:36] * Purple_Kay starts scraping the turrets they blew up.
[23:38] <TenMihara|GM> Purple_Kay manages to salvage some 5.56mm ammo from them (27 rounds total), Four Scrap Electronics and Five Scrap metal
[23:38] * Harmony smiles at her new rifle, though it was in poor condition. She glances at Proverb and walks to her side. "... Is something on your mind?"
[23:39] * Proverb would want that 5.56 ammo. She looks over at Harmony, pausing her pacing. "Huh? O-Oh... no... just, thinking about stuff..."
[23:40] * Purple_Kay makes his way back to Security, trying to determine the time. He doesn't really want to sleep here since the bug was never found.
[23:40] <TenMihara|GM> Gold Standard is now telling rhe merchant ponies about her reason for comign here. "My Grandmother actually came from this Stable as a little filly. Apparently things were rough on them when they first got out. A lot of them died from wild animals or poisoning or raiders and such. My mother eventually ended up in posession of the Water Talisman, which she used to get in with the Society in its e
[23:41] <TenMihara|GM> -in it's early days."
[23:43] * Harmony nods at Proverb. "You can tell me later? ... If you would like." She shrugs.
[23:43] * Proverb nods. "I... o-of course."
[23:43] <TenMihara|GM> *Great-Grandmother
[23:43] * Proverb smiles weakly to Harmony.
[23:44] <TenMihara|GM> It is presently, after all those hijinks in the stable, late afternoon (~5pm)
[23:44] * Purple_Kay stops on his way back to collect proof of demise from the bandits
[23:46] <TenMihara|GM> Purple_Kay ends up with a bag of heads. Awesome
[23:48] * Purple_Kay stows the proof in the filing cabinet for when they leave and heads into security. "Well, folks. Two options. We head out soon and try to get where we are going before dark. We can probably make Megamart, but I'm not sure about Society for you folks. Or I can mine the entrances again and we can hole up here a night."
[23:49] <TenMihara|GM> Gold Standard shakes her head, "No way. I am not staying in there." Daisy looks frantic at the prospect of staying as well. The Guards seem in diffierent, but they Merchant discusses with his family. "If you didn't catch that thing, then away from here is where we want to be."
[23:49] <Proverb> "L-Lets... h-head out, yeah..."
[23:51] * Purple_Kay looks to the caravan family.
[23:51] * Logic_Gates still looks lost in thought. He needed something bigger. What should he get?
[23:52] <TenMihara|GM> The father looks up, "Yeah, we're gonna take Gold there up on her offer. If we can get our business back running with her help, we should do it asap."
[23:53] <TenMihara|GM> Gold smiles, "The Society HQ isn't that much farther than Megamart, just in a differet direction. We should get there before nine at the very least."
[23:53] * Purple_Kay nods. "We'll walk you out. The tunnel we came it collapsed, we'll have to pick another and see where we come out." He looks around at the group, seeing if they are ready. "Logic, I'd like you to make sure this place stays locked up unless it is us coming back."
[23:54] <TenMihara|GM> The guards nod, "They're the ones paying us, so that answers for us too." Daisy kinda shrinks in close to Purple_Kay and Green_Field
[23:54] * Harmony is ready and nods.
[23:54] * Proverb nods too.
[23:54] * Green_Field puts a reassuring hoof on Daisy's shoulder when Purple_Kay says they could stay the night.
[23:55] * Logic_Gates snaps out of it. "Oh. Right." Should be easy enough. All he had to do was put in a random 27-digit code. He never got why passwords needed to be an Equestrian word. He can remember his passwords just fine.
[23:57] * Purple_Kay gets out several bottles of water and his canteen, as well as a good amount of noodles. "If you need food or water for the trip, help yourself." There are 7 noodle packs and 9 servings of water between his individual bottles and canteen.
[23:59] <TenMihara|GM> The guards and family each take 1 bottle of water and 1 package of noodles. The colts smiles, "Thanks mistur big purple pony." He then yawns and lays down on his father's back.
[00:00] * Purple_Kay gently ruffles the colt's mane. Eyes tearing up a bit, not that he'd cop to it. "Almost got it on the first try. I'm Purple Kay." He looks the colt's father. "Keep him safe, losing..." He doesn't finish the sentence, instead choking down a pack of noodles and a swig from his canteen.
[00:01] * Razor watches as Purple_Kay gives out food and water. She gives a disapproving look.
[00:01] <TenMihara|GM> The father looks at Purple_Kay sympathetically for a moment, then nods firmly, "You have my word. And my condolences." He says nothing more.
[00:02] <TenMihara|GM> Daisy nudges Green_Field and waves a hoof in the general direction of the exit.
[00:02] * Logic_Gates is busy at work on the door. He didn't like this place. He tried to get it out of his mind, but he'd lost control here. Control was... Important to him. And even when he lost control of a situation, he never lost control of himself. But he lost that, too. He didn't like that idea. He didn't like this place.
[00:03] * Harmony eats some Cram and finishes off a bottle of dirty water while waiting.
[00:03] * Purple_Kay offers Daisy a noodle pack and a bottle of water as he passes. "Let's move out."
[00:03] * Proverb does too, sitting and eating next to Harmony, before getting back up.
[00:04] * Green_Field asks Purple_Kay, "we're not staying the night are we?"
[00:04] * Harmony follows Purple_Kay.
[00:04] * Razor eats a little something of her own as they head out.
[00:04] <TenMihara|GM> Logic_Gates could close the door, but given the look of the cave around the entrance and the fact that some of the original entrance tunnel rubble has shifted, it looks like this place might be losing stability. Shifting something as heavy as the Stable Door again might not be a great idea while you were all still down there.
[00:06] * Purple_Kay shakes his head. "We can make Megamart before nightfall. We'll cash in and get rooms for us and Daisy. He looks to Daisy. "We can all share a room if that feels safer, or get individual." He stays to the back so he can get out the proof-of-demise without the rest having to see.
[00:07] <TenMihara|GM> Daisy nods and looks around the group. She sticks close to Green_Field, but the smell coming from Purple_Kay's proof bag was enough reason for her to keep a bit distant.
[00:07] <TenMihara|GM> The Merchant family, their guards and Gold Standard all take their leave.
[00:08] * Logic_Gates looks up and realizes that geology sucks.  "... I don't suppose you can whip something up to pull a lever on a timer relatively swiftly?"
[00:09] * Green_Field says to Daisy, "we'll make sure you have a place to stay while we figured out what's next for you."
[00:09] * Purple_Kay snorts. "We'll just leave it, no time."
[00:10] <TenMihara|GM> Daisy takes the noodles and looks ecstatic at being given it so freely. She devours the package and guzzles the water, spluttering a bit in her haste.
[00:11] * Purple_Kay whistles up to Green_Field and tosses him another bottle. He realizes there is a good reason to keep distance with his... inventory of proof.
[00:11] * Purple_Kay "You don't have to drink that so fast."
[00:12] * Proverb trots along after Harmony, keeping silent, and not looking at her flanks for once.
[00:12] * Green_Field catches the bottle, "careful you don't choke ok?"
[00:14] <TenMihara|GM> Daisy hiccups a bit and slows down eating and drinking the rest
[00:15] * Razor eyes the prissy pony with a harsh glare. She doesn't like her at all.
[00:16] * Purple_Kay gives a final wave as the caravan and Gold disappear over the horixon. Megamart their destination
[00:18] <TenMihara|GM> The Caravan Family, their guards and their potential benefactor wave back and then are gone.
[00:19] * Logic_Gates frowns, then leaves it, frowning all the way. "... Sorry."
[00:19] <TenMihara|GM> The group heads back to Megamart and manages to avoid any troubles along the way. By the time they get there though, Daisy loosk thoroughly exhausted.
[00:20] * Purple_Kay 's limp is more pronounced and the bullets in him ache a bit.
[00:23] <TenMihara|GM> Daisy falls against Green_Field, panting a bit.
[00:23] <Green_Field> "It's a good idea to get us room soon."
[00:25] * Purple_Kay gives Daisy a reassuring pat on the withers as he passes. "I'll turn in the bounty and we can meet at the inn to divvy up and get rooms." He goes to do that.
[00:25] <TenMihara|GM> Daisy looks to Green_Field, then to his packs. She makes a drinking motion with her hoof.
[00:26] * Green_Field says to Daisy with another reassuring smile, "just a little farther to the inn then you can sleep as much as you want."
[00:27] * Green_Field gets the water bottle out and gives it to her, "here."
[00:27] * Harmony heads for the inn, waiting for Purple_Kay when she arrives.
[00:28] * Proverb trots after Harmony, curling up on a stool.
[00:28] * Purple_Kay heads to the bounty office. Or whoever handles that in Megamart.
[00:28] * Razor follows Purple_Kay. She'd much rather stick with him.
[00:30] <TenMihara|GM> Daisy nods and takes a swig from it, gulping down about half the bottle. She hands it back and steadies herself, nodding.
[00:30] * Green_Field after letting her drink some, "let's get you somewhere where you can rest". He keeps the bottle out in case she needs to drink again.
[00:31] * Proverb sighs, nuzzling Harmony a bit with a murr, her tail flicking.
[00:32] * Purple_Kay looks around for the pony in charge.
[00:32] <TenMihara|GM> Daisy trots alongside him
[00:32] * Purple_Kay Or somepony in general. He didn't want to have to keep the proof-of-demise overnight.
[00:32] <TenMihara|GM> Bottlecap's office is open, with the mare herself doing some paperwork and sorting piles of bottle caps.
[00:32] * Harmony smiles and nuzzles Proverb. "So, what was on your mind earlier?"
[00:33] * Purple_Kay knocks to get her attention.
[00:33] <Proverb> "Just... Th-the S-Society... a-and you..."
[00:33] <TenMihara|GM> Bottlecap looks up, "Oh hey ag- good Goddesses, what is that stench?"
[00:35] * Purple_Kay "Proof-of-demise. Turning in a bounty." He floats the bounty copy over to her desk with a precise drop. "So, where you want the heads?"
[00:35] * Harmony purses her lips and frowns. "What about the Society?"
[00:36] * Logic_Gates wanders into the security room and doesn't come out for a while. He only comes out once to ask the shopkeeper if they had an undamaged microscope and a bit of hydrochloric acid.
[00:36] <TenMihara|GM> Bottlecap grimaces, "Just lemme call in the security chief so he can verify. And please don't bring those in my office." She looks at the bag, "Did you shove all of them in one?"
[00:37] * Purple_Kay looks back at his spare saddlebag, he knew he had a good reason to keep a spare. "Well, five in one side, five in the other."
[00:37] * Proverb looks to Harmony. "S-Stuff about you..."
[00:38] <TenMihara|GM> The shopkeep Logic approaches offers him a vial of some kind of acid, although he's not as smart as the colt. He doens't have a microscope though
[00:38] * Harmony sighs. "Just... forget about the Society."
[00:39] <Proverb> "I... s-sorry..." She sighs, looking at the ground intently.
[00:39] <TenMihara|GM> Bottlecap facehoofs and pages someone, "Chief Baton, come to my office please. Got someone in for that bounty you put up."
[00:41] <TenMihara|GM> The Security stallion shows up a couple minutes later andl ooks to Purple_Kay, then the bags, "Did you get all of them at once? Dayum."
[00:42] * Logic_Gates waves a hoof at him dismissively, looking increasingly upset and ill-tempered. If he doesn't have the microscope, he can't do the experiment. And that's stupid.
[00:42] * Razor is standing off to the side. She eyes the stallion as he walks up.
[00:42] * Purple_Kay "Keep you from having to make a new flier by just getting them all. Might be a little mushed... tight fit."
[00:43] * Purple_Kay hefts the saddlebag off and lays it at his hooves.
[00:43] * Proverb traces a hoof over the table she's in front of, resting her head on it.
[00:43] <TenMihara|GM> Logic_Gates might want to try the Collegiate booth.
[00:44] * Green_Field when they arrive at the inn, makes sure to find Daisy as comfortable a chair as possible.
[00:45] <TenMihara|GM> Daisy smiles at Green_Field, then gives him a quick hug to show her thanks before seating herself.
[00:45] * Logic_Gates grimaces and swallows his pride. Again. This has been a stupid day. "You." He stated with a fire like a rival to another. "Microscope. Hydrochloric Acid. Do you have?"
[00:46] * Purple_Kay "Should be 1400 if I'm not mistaken."
[00:48] <TenMihara|GM> The Chief nods to Purple_Kay, "You went and did that pretty quick. I think a little extra is an order. Bottlecap, give him an extra two hundred out of my personal dossier." Bottlecap shrugs and jots something down, then gathers up 1600 caps for Purple_Kay. 3 sacks of 500 and a roll of 100
[00:49] <TenMihara|GM> The Chief looks to Purple_Kay, "Didn't use to be this bad. I don't normally pay much mind to low grande bandits unless they get  too close, but these guys got real balsy abotu two weeks ago."
[00:50] <TenMihara|GM> Daisy quickly doses off in the chair
[00:50] * Purple_Kay tips his hat, "Much obliged." He hoofs over 266 to Razor. "There was some weird stuff going on with them, that's for sure."
[00:51] <TenMihara|GM> Baton tilts his head, "Like, got hopped up on Chems wierd or Hoofington Wierd?"
[00:52] * Purple_Kay "Hypnotized by giant bug monster weird. So Hoofington Weird."
[00:52] * Logic_Gates stands in front of the collegiate booth looking rather upset.
[00:53] <TenMihara|GM> Geeky blinks at Logic, "Oh, hey. What do you need a microscope and HCl for?"
[00:55] * Purple_Kay cracks a smile. "But that's a long, odd story. G'night Miss Cap, Chief." He turns and head toward the others at rooms to pass out the caps.
[00:55] <TenMihara|GM> Baton blinks, "Giant Hypno-bugs huh? Soudns about right."
[00:56] <TenMihara|GM> Baton waves him off, "Night... guy."
[00:57] <Logic_Gates> Logic narrows his eyes. "Going to research the secretion of a giant orange hypno-bug that speaks in the third person."
[00:57] * Purple_Kay drops off their share to Proverb and Harmony, then heads to Green_Fields.
[00:59] * Logic_Gates sounds completely, and terribly serious.
[00:59] * Green_Field sees Purple_Kay approach.
[00:59] * Razor stows her share away, following Purple_Kay as he heads off.
[01:00] * Purple_Kay hoofs over Green_Field's share. He looks over Daisy, looking at what she's wearing for the first time really paying attention.
[01:00] * Harmony puts away her caps and goes to buy a room for the night. "...Proverb, would you like to share a room again?"
[01:01] * Proverb nods. "S-Sure..."
[01:01] <TenMihara|GM> Geeky nods, "I see. Well, Hoofington has all kinds of unidentified mutant species. The Collegiate guys would probably reconsider their attitude towards you if you discovered a new one."
[01:02] <TenMihara|GM> Geeky rummages around and manages to pull up a Microscope and some HCl. "I'll give these on the house if you show me how to do that Special Friendship Finisher thing on Konflict."
[01:02] * Harmony smiles, purchasing a room and soon collapsing on the bed after removing her barding.
[01:03] * Proverb follows after Harmony, folding her barding up neatly and piling it in the corner, flopping onto the bed next to her.
[01:03] * Logic_Gates narrows his eyes. "On which character?"
[01:03] <TenMihara|GM> Geeky smiles, "Any of them really. You seemed to know your way around all of them."
[01:04] <TenMihara|GM> Daisy isn't weaking anything. She looks up and smiles weakly at Purple_Kay and Green_Field
[01:04] * Harmony wraps her hooves around Proverb, drifting off.
[01:04] * Purple_Kay "Daisy? Will you come with me? We need to get you something to wear for protection no matter where we find a place for you."
[01:05] * Proverb snuggles against Harmony, kissing her on the cheek. She sighs, but doesn't fall asleep.
[01:05] <TenMihara|GM> Daisy yawns and blinks. She doesn't look like she really wants to get up at the moment.
[01:06] * Harmony falls asleep with a smile.
[01:06] <Green_Field> "Let's get her a room first, we can do that after she gets some much needed rest."
[01:06] * Purple_Kay goes over and gets 2 rooms, one fore him and Razor, the other for Daisy and Green_Field.
[01:06] * Razor eyes Purple_Kay. What's gotten into him?
[01:07] * Green_Field follows Purple_Kay up, "you don't need to pay for our's, you need caps as much as we do."
[01:07] * Logic_Gates begrudgingly nods, "Deal. The trick is in dealing with the microswitches in the control stick. Quarter circle, quarter circle right, right, A, A+B for Mare-Do-Well. You have to do this in .5 seconds. The way I do it is I just press the switches down directly with telekinesis."
[01:08] <TenMihara|GM> Geeky blinks, then grins, "You sneaky little cheater."
[01:08] * Purple_Kay hands Green the key. "Damn straight, I was just saving you a trip. I intended to collect." He smiles. "Let's get her upstairs. I can eyeball her measurements."
[01:08] * Logic_Gates shrugs. "Never said I fight fair."
[01:09] * Logic_Gates motions him towards the security room. He had to see this shit for himself.
[01:10] * Green_Field hoofs him 20 caps, "I don't like being in dept, so I'll pay up now."
[01:10] <TenMihara|GM> geeky chuckles and pushes the implements over, "Yours."
[01:10] * Purple_Kay heads with Green over to Daisy. "You up for walking to the room, or need a lift?"
[01:10] <TenMihara|GM> Geeky blinks and nods, getting up, "I was abotu t o close anyways." He folds down the booth's sign.
[01:11] <TenMihara|GM> Daisy nods and wiggles out of the chair, standing on her own for a moment, then leaning against Green_Field
[01:11] * Logic_Gates shrugs. "Need a second pair of eyes. Stuff hardens and softens on a dime."
[01:11] <Logic_Gates> (Bit, rather.)
[01:12] * Razor continues to eye Purple_Kay.
[01:12] * Purple_Kay canters with them to their room and then to his and Razor's right beside. Once he sees they are safely inside, he heads into his and Razor's room.
[01:12] * Green_Field uses TK to place Daisy on his back.
[01:13] * Purple_Kay sets up his pony-portable workbench once inside.
[01:14] * Green_Field disinfects the bed with clean as soon as they enter.
[01:14] <TenMihara|GM> Daisy lets out a gasp at the lifting, then calms down a bit when she's set down
[01:15] * Razor follows Purple_Kay to their room. "...What was that about?"
[01:16] * Purple_Kay looks up. "Whaddaya mean, Kid?"
[01:17] * Razor snorts. "Don't give me that. You were all over her!"
[01:19] * Purple_Kay quirks an eyebrow, not comprehending. "All over... what are you talking about?"
[01:19] <TenMihara|GM> Daisy looks at the bed with wide eyes. She looks at Green_Field and then back at the bed, as if she couldn't believe she would be getting to sleep on it.
[01:20] <Green_Field> "Of course you get to, I'll take the floor."
[01:22] * Purple_Kay continues to look at Razor incredulously.
[01:22] <TenMihara|GM> Daisy smiles broadly and bounds onto the bed, only to suddenly look very tired after doing so. She yawns again and flops down on the pillow.
[01:22] <Green_Field> "Want anything to eat or drink before bed?"
[01:23] * Razor glares at Purple_Kay. "Just now! You were practically kissing her hooves! What is wrong with you lately?"
[01:24] <TenMihara|GM> Daisy has already fallen asleep
[01:25] * Purple_Kay narrows his eyes. That upset him. "That poor girl has been a slave for who knows how long, had her tongue cut out, and you think I would try to... to take advantage of her? You think that's the kinda pony I am?"
[01:26] * Green_Field pleased with helping her out, lies on floor ready to sleep himself.
[01:30] * Purple_Kay keeps his eyes locked with Razor's.
[01:31] * Razor stomps a hoof. "No! You just... ugh. Lately you've just been... doing all these things. Dumb, pointless things!"
[01:32] <TenMihara|GM> Daisy snores rather loudly, but in an oddly endearing fashion
[01:34] * Purple_Kay 's eyes soften. "Yeah, I do a lot of dumb, pointless things. But seeing the look in her eyes when somepony gives her food without expecting anything in return., or knowing I kept some foals from being hurt, or helping a mare I care about take a step toward her dream, toward finding her mother...
[01:35] * Purple_Kay "...It helps me sleep. To put weight on the other side of the scales."
[01:39] * Razor gives him a bit of a glare. She's just... annoyed. She doesn't know why, exactly... she just is. "You just... you give too much away! A little... yeah, fine, whatever. I don't care. But you give way too much!"
[01:40] * Purple_Kay sighs. putting down the armor he'd started to work on. "What can I say? Maybe I'm just sentimental in my old age. Can't take it with ya when ya go."
[01:42] * Razor looks away. "Yeah, and you go quicker when you give it away..."
[01:44] * Purple_Kay snorts. "I'm far to stubborn to go away anytime soon. The Hoof's been trying to kill me since you were born, and I was much more deserving of death then."
[01:46] * Razor gives a very small smile and glances in Purple_Kay's direction. "Yeah, you were probably smarter then, too."
[01:48] * Purple_Kay "And respected in all the wrong circles. And feared by many..." he stretches, rolling his bum shoulder. "And unhappy."
[01:50] * Purple_Kay "You know what that got me?" He smirks. "Saddled with you kids."
[01:51] * Razor rolls her eyes. "Like you mind. I tried to get rid of you from the start! But you wouldn't leave me alone!"
[01:51] * Purple_Kay "What can I say, I love ya, Kid."
[01:57] * Proverb meanwhile, silently wiggled her way out of bed, trotting over to her armor, pulling it on. She took out the box containing the *ahem* 'Bigger Mac', and a piece of paper, scrawling a note on it and attatching it to the box. The note read as follows:
[01:57] <Proverb> Dear Harmony, I have taken it upon myself to find out what's happening between you and The Society. I am planning on infiltrating them, and conducting an investigation into what happened. If possible, I will also assassinate those responsible for placing the bounty on you. Please don't try and follow me, I don't want to loose you. Love, Former Chief Master Sergeant Auburn Proverb. P.S. I /really/ love wingplay~.
[01:58] * Proverb then slipped out the door, and headed off.

[02:03] <TenMihara|GM> *****Secret Bonus Scene*****
