  1. [2015-03-21 20:38:51]<SpiritOfFate> Group 0-II: *Freedom's Price* - Session #032 starts now
  2. [2015-03-21 20:38:56]<SpiritOfFate> ==============================================================
  3. [2015-03-21 20:41:55]<SpiritOfFate> A cloudy night covers the land. A lone pale pony with a long unkempt mane approaches Freedom Mound, to be met with the patrols that guard the settlement.
  4. [2015-03-21 20:46:14]<SpiritOfFate> Back in the Salvage Yard, Sieglinde cleans the other griffbots from all bits of garbage and sludge. "You were saying you could help me locate Drei's signal, by flying. Are we going to follow this plan?"
  5. [2015-03-21 20:51:12]* Firefly smiles and nods. "Yeah. You can be in the wagon and I can fly around in a spiral. Unless you remember where you heard it before?"
  6. [2015-03-21 20:54:43]<SpiritOfFate> Swiss_Provolone, in her sleek sneaking suit, finally lands in the rocky plateau inside the Quarry. It's dark, but her enhanced eyes see clearly, including all the many Hellhounds patrolling the walls. There is a pony-made crater on the center of the Quarry, though she can't see what is inside from where she is. There are also 3 buildings of notice. A closer, conic one, made with engraved bricks, that seems to be open in the central part of
  7. [2015-03-21 20:54:43]<SpiritOfFate> the top. A tall antenna seems to be attached to it as well. A distant one, in the wall, with large doors. And finally a rectangular one on the opposite side of the crater, with tall smoking chimneys
  8. [2015-03-21 21:00:44]<SpiritOfFate> The terminal shown all information readily available, and now Ignis and Full_Physical are free to do something else. The former living staff is nowhere to be seen, but there is still an arguably living patient. As well as plenty preserved organs.
  9. [2015-03-21 21:02:57]* Swiss_Provolone begins by sneaking towards the conic building, keeping to as many shadows as she can
  10. [2015-03-21 21:04:38]<Full_Physical> "Any idea how much longer this facility can keep the patient and the organs alive for?" Full Physical asks Ignis
  11. [2015-03-21 21:05:12]* Ignis decides that there is a few loose strings left... "It would be better if I called on the girls, since they would be interested..." The dragon reflects for a moment before fetching his portable shortwave radio and calling Lace. "She's on stasis, it probably can hold on for quite some time..."
  12. [2015-03-21 21:07:52]<SpiritOfFate> Knick Knack is cuddling with Royal_Lace. A radio transceiver in the house starts sounding.
  13. [2015-03-21 21:09:18]<SpiritOfFate> "The last location known was... back at the clinic." Sieglinde says.
  14. [2015-03-21 21:10:56]* DontAskForCookies Snugs with Knicky, ear flicking, she whispers to her wife, "Should I get that?"
  15. [2015-03-21 21:12:26]<SpiritOfFate> Knick Knack nuzzles Royal_Lace and smiles. "It's okay."
  16. [2015-03-21 21:13:35]* Firefly shrugs. "Well, you're fixed up. I can fly you back and we can track your brother down."
  17. [2015-03-21 21:13:42]<Firefly> "I just need to put on my gear."
  18. [2015-03-21 21:15:47]<SpiritOfFate> "I am grateful, Firefly." Sieglinde says.
  19. [2015-03-21 21:19:32]* Firefly giggles. "Its what friends are for." She wanders behind a changing curtain and changes into her armor and weapons... and after some thought, putting on the mask as well. She'll walk back out after a moment. "Alright, let's get moving."
  20. [2015-03-21 21:21:29]<SpiritOfFate> Sieglinde follows Firefly
  21. [2015-03-21 21:23:24]* DontAskForCookies smooches her wifes muzzle and offers a parting nuzzle before lifing the blanket off of herself and standing up from the bed, "alright, I wont be gone longe sweeite"
  22. [2015-03-21 21:23:44]<SpiritOfFate> Swiss_Provolone gets to the wall of the conic building. He can hear the growled voices of multiple hellhounds inside. The door is on the side. The lighting looks like it's open.
  23. [2015-03-21 21:23:53]* Ignis idly taps a claw at the desk, surely some mare was taking her time.
  24. [2015-03-21 21:24:09]<SpiritOfFate> "I'll be waiting." Knick Knack says.
  25. [2015-03-21 21:24:27]* Firefly opens up the workshop and pulls the Sky Wagon out. Once Sieglinde is out, she closes the shop up, locks it, and hitches herself to the sky wagon. "Ready?"
  26. [2015-03-21 21:25:18]<SpiritOfFate> <<Royal Lace. Are you listening?>> Ignis hears in the same frequency.
  27. [2015-03-21 21:26:55]* Swiss_Provolone quietly approaches the wall of the building, focusing her hearing to see if she could catch the conversation inside
  28. [2015-03-21 21:27:28]<SpiritOfFate> "Ready!" Sieglinde says, hopping into the sky wagon. "Why would Drei's signal be transmitting if he was destroyed? That is highly puzzling. Any conjectures?"
  29. [2015-03-21 21:27:41]<Ignis> <<Yeah, loud and clear.>> The dragon answers. <<You're too busy there? We got a bit of an interesting situation over here, ma'am.>>
  30. [2015-03-21 21:29:41]* DontAskForCookies picks her up her recerver, "Yes hello? This is Royal Lace, who is speaking?"
  31. [2015-03-21 21:29:52]<Firefly> "No idea... its weird. Maybe the cyber-griffin did something back then..." She shakes her head, and, with a buzzing of her wings, attempts to take off toward the clinic.
  32. [2015-03-21 21:30:16]<SpiritOfFate> <<No, I am looking for Royal Lace. I am from the Freedom Mound wall patrol.>> The mare on the other side replies. <<There is somepony here asking to enter the settlement. They say they got permission from Sotho.>>
  33. [2015-03-21 21:31:03]<Ignis> <<Oh, sorry...we've got signals crossed.>> The dragon intones, then falls silent so that the mare would handle it...sheesh.
  34. [2015-03-21 21:31:11]* DontAskForCookies tilts her head, "Permission from Sotho.. Say again this is Royal Lace please explain, has she identified herself?"
  35. [2015-03-21 21:31:26]<DontAskForCookies> *themselves, no idea if its a mare or not
  36. [2015-03-21 21:33:39]<SpiritOfFate> <<It is a buck, being, long grey mane called Sawer Cymbal. He says he comes from the Shroom Caves to the west and that Sotho recommended him to come here to talk about trading or shelter.>> The radio mare says
  37. [2015-03-21 21:35:34]<SpiritOfFate> The skies are cloudy, but no danger gets in Firefly's way.
  38. [2015-03-21 21:35:37]* DontAskForCookies rubs her head, before looking to see what time it is.
  39. [2015-03-21 21:36:58]<SpiritOfFate> "Dawg, it's been so long we went out hunting. What's up with that?" One of the hellhounds inside says.
  40. [2015-03-21 21:37:28]<SpiritOfFate> "Well, not all of us feel the need to act like animals." Another one says
  41. [2015-03-21 21:38:02]<SpiritOfFate> "Shut up, nerd!" The first one says. There is a noise of something crashing;
  42. [2015-03-21 21:38:18]* Firefly will fly toward the clinic then, waiting for the shout from Sieglinde.
  43. [2015-03-21 21:39:28]* DontAskForCookies rubs her eyes, "Allright, what entrance is he at? Ill be there promplty"
  44. [2015-03-21 21:41:15]* Swiss_Provolone frowns, and decides to make herself scarce before the hound decides to start hunting, and heads towards the crater to take a closer look
  45. [2015-03-21 21:42:17]<SpiritOfFate> "QUIET YOU TWO. OR I'LL COME DOWN AND KICK BOTH OF YOUR ASSES." Another one says, Swiss_Provolone hears even as he moves awau
  46. [2015-03-21 21:45:23]* DontAskForCookies is now known as Royal_Lace
  47. [2015-03-21 21:50:00]<SpiritOfFate> "I sense it." Sieglinde says, pointing towards the clinic. "Though it wasn't there when I first arrived."
  48. [2015-03-21 21:50:45]<SpiritOfFate> <<He is at the west gate.>> The guard says.
  49. [2015-03-21 21:52:04]* Firefly nods and heads towards the clinic, landing out front. "Ok... let's take a look."
  50. [2015-03-21 21:54:48]<SpiritOfFate> Sieglinde hops off the sky wagon with a sound clang that can be heard inside the clinic. She turns her head from one side to another, and back, then walks in
  51. [2015-03-21 21:55:45]* Royal_Lace "Thank you for contacting me, tell the visitor I will be there shortly", Placing the reciver down lace sighs and trots back to bed, climbing in she nuzzles her wife, "Nicky that was the west gate, there is a visitor who says he was sent by Sotho, It dosent sound like trouble but im going to go and see what he has to say, alright?"
  52. [2015-03-21 21:55:57]* Firefly takes a moment to lock down the sky wagon before following Sieglinde inside.
  53. [2015-03-21 21:58:52]<Full_Physical> "Still getting the busy signal, Ignis?"
  54. [2015-03-21 21:59:35]<SpiritOfFate> Knick Knack frowns a bit. "Don't take too long. I'll get some snacks for us."
  55. [2015-03-21 22:00:56]<Ignis> "Yeah, but I dunno...she's busied with other crap, looks like somezebra has been delegating every little odd-job to her." The dragon sighs a bit. "Whatever...I should put Sieglinde up to date with the data I gathered..."
  56. [2015-03-21 22:01:18]* Royal_Lace nods, "Ill teleport there and back, be gone only a few moments, when im back we can enjoy our snacks, Ill put away the dishes, and then you and I-", she leans in and whispers something in the mares ear.
  57. [2015-03-21 22:02:41]<SpiritOfFate> Knick Knack blushes and grins. "Ooh~ I like that idea."
  58. [2015-03-21 22:02:46]* Full_Physical nods
  59. [2015-03-21 22:03:45]* Royal_Lace blushes herself and nods, "I thought you would, you usually do~". Climbing out of bed she gives her wife a wink as she makes she grooms herself with a flash of magic before teleporting to the west Gate.
  60. [2015-03-21 22:04:32]<SpiritOfFate> Sieglinde walks to Ignis, staring directly at Ignis' bag. "Somehow, one of my siblings seem to be in there." She points a talon.
  61. [2015-03-21 22:06:18]* Firefly blinks in surprise. "Uh... Ignis? What is in your bag?"
  62. [2015-03-21 22:06:48]* Ignis blinks. "How unusual, I'm sure I would remember if I were carrying a whole ro...wait a minute..." The dragon stroke his chin. "The assault on the nnotto...they had a robot along the retinue of mercs, yes...I recall that now. I did salvaged it, you may help yourself to...it...him...you got the idea."
  63. [2015-03-21 22:08:13]<Full_Physical> "What, did you salvage his brain or something?"
  64. [2015-03-21 22:09:16]<Ignis> "The correct term is "Central Processing Unit" , mister Physical." The drake said, glowering a bit at the stallion.
  65. [2015-03-21 22:10:12]<SpiritOfFate> Sieglinde digs into Ignis' bag, taking a strange chip from it. "Something akin to it. At least the core part of it."
  66. [2015-03-21 22:11:05]<Full_Physical> "Yeah, yeah, and the cartilage in your nose isn't really a bone. No need to nit pick."
  67. [2015-03-21 22:11:59]<SpiritOfFate> There is a small number of ponies in the bottom of the crater. The southern group is hitting at some rocks with pickaxes, the northern three pull a large chunk of rock in a cart.
  68. [2015-03-21 22:12:26]* Swiss_Provolone pulls out her binoculars and peers closer, looking amongst the slaves for a certain pegasus stallion
  69. [2015-03-21 22:13:47]* Ignis nodded calmly."In any case, I dug up more interesting stuff...apparently,the leftover patient is somepony who suffers from, er...degenerative organ disease or something, an oldworld bigwig who was left on stasis and of which the computer attests as...well, reasonably healthy, barring her degeneration...I could do with a bit of medical advice on the situation..." He turns his gaze to Sieglinde
  70. [2015-03-21 22:14:31]* Firefly nods. "So... is that it? Could we rebuild him with that?" She looks over at Sieglinde.
  71. [2015-03-21 22:18:31]<SpiritOfFate> Sieglinde nods to Firefly. "Yes, but a large amount of parts would be necessary, this is just contains the basic programming and processor, the authentication key and the emergency transmitter"
  72. [2015-03-21 22:19:50]* Royal_Lace looks around the west gate to see who it was calling her and who it was calling upon her with her husbands name.
  73. [2015-03-21 22:19:54]<SpiritOfFate> As to this patient... I'd have to examine more closely. But we might not guarantee their continued survival without a better understanding of the illness.
  74. [2015-03-21 22:22:51]* Ignis nodnods. "I thought as much. I wanted to know if she can be revived and can survive with just minor concerns or will need an entire bevy of medical apparatus that just someplace like this could offer...wouldn't have much sense to revive the mare if she was going to just be strapped on the bed..." He tilted his head. "Which begs the question of what we'll do to a place like this, scrap it
  75. [2015-03-21 22:24:12]<Full_Physical> "As I said before, we should probably talk to her original doctor before we try anything, you said she was in an irradiated stable, right?"
  76. [2015-03-21 22:24:22]<Ignis> *or rebuild it on town to offer its services to the populace...if the second option prevails, I'd be very much confortable on leaving it on your claws...if you wish to follow your original path of expertise...that's up for discussion, of course."
  77. [2015-03-21 22:25:52]* Firefly nods. "Well... we can talk to Miss Lace and see if her labs have the materials. Let me know when you want to head back... I think I'm going to take a nap."
  78. [2015-03-21 22:29:41]<SpiritOfFate> Swiss_Provolone recognizes one of the ponies pulling the cart. Scarred back and covered in dust, but very similar to the colt he rescued. His wings are bound with restraints.
  79. [2015-03-21 22:32:24]* Swiss_Provolone frowns, making a mental note of his location. She puts back her binoculars and sneaks around the outer rim of the crater, towards the building with the chimneys.
  80. [2015-03-21 22:34:20]<Full_Physical> "Are you ready to head back? We don't have to decide what to do with this place now."
  81. [2015-03-21 22:36:02]<Ignis> "We sorta do...we can't just let the mare laying around...sheesh..."
  82. [2015-03-21 22:36:43]<Full_Physical> "Why not? She's been here 200 years. Few more days won't kill her."
  83. [2015-03-21 22:36:49]<SpiritOfFate> Royal_Lace finds herself by the barricade that has the west gate. There are two mudpony guards here and a pale pony with a long unkempt mane
  84. [2015-03-21 22:37:44]* Royal_Lace trots over to the gathered ponies, "Hello? I was called about a visitor?"
  85. [2015-03-21 22:38:18]<Ignis> "The entire robot staff have been deactivated, and is rebooting into...gods know what protocols.In any case, you're not tied into the place, you may go if you wish."
  86. [2015-03-21 22:39:09]<SpiritOfFate> The three slaves disappear into the northern tunnel. As Swiss_Provolone approaches the building he smells something that resembles a particularly foul sort of resin. He also notices that the chimneys don't go exactly into the building, but even under it, burying themselves into the stone
  87. [2015-03-21 22:40:34]<SpiritOfFate> "Yes. It's him." The mudpony mare points to the slim, pale pony, who waves.
  88. [2015-03-21 22:41:04]* Swiss_Provolone puts her ears to the side of the building, seeing if she could hear anyone within
  89. [2015-03-21 22:42:44]<Full_Physical> "So what the robot staff is rebooting, are you worried that they'll attack her, or that they'll fail to preserve her?"
  90. [2015-03-21 22:42:58]* Royal_Lace nods politely to the guard, "Thank you very much for entertaining him for me and calling me", Turning to the guest she takes in his ragged appearance, "Greetings, I understand that you bring word of my husband? Is he well?"
  91. [2015-03-21 22:44:24]<SpiritOfFate> There is nobody to be seen. Some windows show saws and planks of greenish wood. The floor is covered in sawdust. One of the chimneys, on the outside, has a door.
  92. [2015-03-21 22:44:38]<Ignis> "The fuck if I know what they'll do...in that sense, robots and organic beings are very much alike."
  93. [2015-03-21 22:45:02]* Swiss_Provolone sneaks along the edge of the building towards said door
  94. [2015-03-21 22:45:52]<Full_Physical> "You could just find a way to shut them down more permanently if you think they're going to attack the patient, I just don't think we should be making a snap decision regarding her welfare."
  95. [2015-03-21 22:46:59]<Ignis> "And that's exactly why I won't leave the place until we've properly discussed it...sheesh..."
  96. [2015-03-21 22:47:02]* Observer (bobobo878@Pony-hti8h7.wa.charter.com) has joined
  97. [2015-03-21 22:47:25]* Full_Physical is now known as EmperorOfDelight

  100. [2015-03-21 22:48:31]<SpiritOfFate> The pale pony nods to Royal_Lace. "He was in the caves just the other day. Headed west, I think, but there's not much over there. He said we should talk about trading with our mushrooms, or maybe even coming to live here." He is wearing ragged clothes.
  101. [2015-03-21 22:50:46]<SpiritOfFate> There is no proper lock in the chimney's door. The chimneys still release their smoke high above.
  102. [2015-03-21 22:51:53]* Observer (bobobo878@Pony-qqn.r5e.140.32.IP) has joined

  104. [2015-03-21 22:53:04]* Swiss_Provolone cracks the door open to see if the area inside is isloated from the smoke
  105. [2015-03-21 22:53:55]* Full_Physical has quit (Ping timeout: 121 seconds)
  106. [2015-03-21 22:55:34]<SpiritOfFate> Smoke leaves the door, he can see sparks and the light of fire coming from below, but nothing else
  107. [2015-03-21 22:57:43]* Pony_59541 has quit (Quit: Bye)
  108. [2015-03-21 22:58:33]<SpiritOfFate> The building also had a trapdoor.
  109. [2015-03-21 22:58:44]* Swiss_Provolone shuts the door and pulls back to the building proper, looking for a way inside
