  1. [2015-05-16 20:38:12]<SpiritOfFate> Group 0-II: *Freedom's Price* - Session #036 starts now
  2. [2015-05-16 20:38:21]<SpiritOfFate> =======================================================
  3. [2015-05-16 20:41:19]<Full_Physical> "Firefly seems to be asleep, should we discuss this in the morning?" FP asks Ignis
  4. [2015-05-16 20:41:57]* Firefly snores softly, sleeping on a shelf.
  5. [2015-05-16 20:42:44]* Ignis shrugs. "Whenever fits, I guess." He seemed to be mostly nonplussed. "What about the others?"
  6. [2015-05-16 20:45:09]<Full_Physical> "The other what?"
  7. [2015-05-16 20:46:33]* Swiss_Provolone lies dead asleep on one of Royal_Lace's couches, exhausted from the day's events
  8. [2015-05-16 20:47:22]* Royal_Lace poofs herself outside of her home and rubs her eyes, yawning she steps to the door and lets herself in.
  9. [2015-05-16 20:47:38]<SpiritOfFate> Knick Knack is sleeping on another couch, an empty cup of tea fallen on the floor.
  10. [2015-05-16 20:47:58]* Ignis yawns. "I guess you should check with the others."
  11. [2015-05-16 20:48:11]<SpiritOfFate> Outside the late night already started to lighten as the morning approaches
  12. [2015-05-16 20:48:47]* Full_Physical will find somewhere to sleep
  13. [2015-05-16 20:49:28]* Royal_Lace smiles a bit, steping over she collects teh cup and cleans the mess. levetating the cup to the kitches she fetches a throw blanket and snuggles up to her wife carfully and covers them both after checking Minty.
  14. [2015-05-16 20:53:44]<SpiritOfFate> Minty is still asleep, thankfully
  15. [2015-05-16 20:54:23]* Royal_Lace would have kissed her daughters head and tucked her in before laying down with Nicky. Also a spare blanket is provided for her visitor.
  16. [2015-05-16 21:02:07]<SpiritOfFate> ---
  17. [2015-05-16 21:05:43]<SpiritOfFate> It's afternoon. Everypony had long and tense nights, so waking up early was out of question. Knick Knack is still drooling slightly over Royal_Lace's leg. Swiss_Provolone and Royal_Lace are at the landfill house. Full_Physical, Ignis and Firefly are still back at the clinic, where they could find empty hospital beds and chairs to rest on, away from the surgeon bots. Sieglinde is nowhere to be seen, and the same goes for the nursebot she and
  18. [2015-05-16 21:05:43]<SpiritOfFate> Firefly were fiddling with
  19. [2015-05-16 21:07:25]* Royal_Lace Wakes up as early as she is able, leaving Nicky and FP to sleep. Feeding minty and making brunch herself. She also takes time to record what she learend teh night before on paper.
  20. [2015-05-16 21:09:58]* Swiss_Provolone snores lightly from the couch he claimed
  21. [2015-05-16 21:13:05]* Full_Physical will wait for Firefly to wake up before asking her about the robits
  22. [2015-05-16 21:14:00]* Firefly yawns and stirs. "Mmmm... five more minutes... I gotta work on more dream-bots..."
  23. [2015-05-16 21:14:59]<Full_Physical> "Ah, good, you're awake, now you can work on the waking... bots?"
  24. [2015-05-16 21:16:37]* Ignis shakes his head a few times and simply sits himself, not really wanting to go on to face the day just yet...it had been a wild night.
  25. [2015-05-16 21:19:00]* Firefly groans and stretches. "Is breakfast almost ready?"
  26. [2015-05-16 21:19:38]<Full_Physical> "Uh... no? Ignis? Do you know how to cook?"
  27. [2015-05-16 21:21:14]* Royal_Lace coos and playfuly feeds minty at the table, guiding a spoon full of mushy food to her as she magically stirs the pan on the stove, "here comes the airship! Vroooooom"
  28. [2015-05-16 21:23:21]* Swiss_Provolone snorts awake, scratching head to recollect why exactly he was there. Shaking off the drowsiness he meets Royal_Lace at the table, "Mornin' ma'am, sorry 'bout falling asleep here, guess the last few nights took more out of me than I thought."
  29. [2015-05-16 21:23:52]* Firefly pops her neck and shakes her head. "Eh... I'll just eat a snack cake. What robot do I need to work on?"
  30. [2015-05-16 21:24:40]* Royal_Lace stops stirring and focuses on minty, "Not a problem, tend to the food wont you? Dificult to split my focus... so I am glad your in one peice, I assume my ship is as well?"
  31. [2015-05-16 21:25:17]<Full_Physical> "Would you be willing to take a look at the memory in the doctor robots? I want to know what they were instructed to do to the patient we found in satsis."
  32. [2015-05-16 21:26:08]<SpiritOfFate> Minty eats a little, but most of it spills out of her mouth again.
  33. [2015-05-16 21:26:40]* Swiss_Provolone nods, lighting up his horn to watch her pot, "The ships doin' fine, though the night didn't go totally as planned..." he said, levitating out her armour with a nasty jagged cut in it
  34. [2015-05-16 21:28:09]* Royal_Lace glancs over and winces as she cleands her daughters muzzle, glad for the bib, "Oh dear.. I hope that you have had that seen to already, what happened?"
  35. [2015-05-16 21:28:12]* Firefly shrugs. "Well... I could. But if its a software issue, I can't really do anything. Now, hardware is another story..." She nods.
  36. [2015-05-16 21:31:17]* Swiss_Provolone "Snow patched me up, and the scar went away when your magic trick did as well- not that I would've minded, got plenty of those as is. As for what happened, a pair of dogs took started coming near where I was hiding out, and I hear more comin' from behind. Had to take 'em out and leave in a hurry." he replies
  37. [2015-05-16 21:31:46]<Full_Physical> "Are you saying you can't figure out what they've been told to do then? I'm no engineer, but I doubt they chose this course of treatment because of a faulty motivator. If you salvaged their memory, could you take it to someone who can?"
  38. [2015-05-16 21:33:27]* Firefly cants her head. "Did you want me to pull things that were stored in memory? I'm confused." The filly yawns.
  39. [2015-05-16 21:34:45]* Royal_Lace "Sounds atrocious, was it worth the risk?"
  40. [2015-05-16 21:36:25]<Full_Physical> "I wanted you to pull the things they use to store their memories. What do they use anyway, a series of tubes?"
  41. [2015-05-16 21:39:03]<Firefly> "Kind of?" She shakes her head. "Well, I don't really how to pull it up on a screen, but I could pull out the chips and the processor and let Miss Lace's people do it. Probably better just to take the entire robot... they have clean rooms especially for pulling apart robots and messing with them. Which robot did you want me to work on? And where is Sieglinde?"
  42. [2015-05-16 21:42:00]<Full_Physical> "Sieglinde? The gryphon? I don't know, I didn't see him leave."
  43. [2015-05-16 21:42:08]* Ignis shrugs. "Search me if I know...I guess we should leave her be for the moment, and just work on what we got so far."
  44. [2015-05-16 21:42:13]* Swiss_Provolone "Didn't get as much as I would've liked, but we got something. For starters the slaves are kept in line by some tower transmitting to their collars. Once that goes down, so does their little insurance policy." he informs her, adding, "Granted, they might have that on their own. Their claws are damn sharp, your suit didn't even register to them."
  45. [2015-05-16 21:43:43]* Firefly frowns. "Hrm... I hope she didn't try to walk back..." She thinks for a moment. "Go ahead and get the robot... or is it robots? You want to have fiddled with and put it in the Sky Carriage. I'm gonna find Sieglinde." Firefly pulls a snack cake out of her saddle bags and starts looking for the missing griffin-bot.
  46. [2015-05-16 21:46:21]* Royal_Lace humms as she sets down the spoon and lifts the armor, with a flash of magic any blood or filth is gone from it. twsiting it over in air she folds it and sets it aside, "So I see... we will have to fix that, another project", lifting a cup she sips on coffee, "Always more projects... I need to sell something so we can afford to expand, take on more staff...always more to do"
  47. [2015-05-16 21:46:27]* Royal_Lace sounds distant
  48. [2015-05-16 21:47:59]<SpiritOfFate> She spots Sieglinde on a nearby street, her metal wings are open and she is still. The nursebot is by her side.
  49. [2015-05-16 21:48:39]* Firefly smiles, walking over. "Sieglinde! There you are. What are you doing?"
  50. [2015-05-16 21:50:28]<SpiritOfFate> "Resting." Sieglinde says.
  51. [2015-05-16 21:50:34]* Swiss_Provolone "Something else I found there ma'am: their coal mines are the heart of their operation, but the place is volatile. Some of the slaves I found said it could be blown to Celestia with some bombs in the right place, though it'd take out any slaves down there with it."
  52. [2015-05-16 21:51:46]* Firefly nods. "Oh... ok. You want me to take you both back to the garage? I think we are good to go back here soon."
  53. [2015-05-16 21:51:58]* Swiss_Provolone he looks over the pot, "Might be something to consider. The place is a hell hole, no two ways about it."
  54. [2015-05-16 21:54:39]* Royal_Lace sighs as she magics the mushy food away to the fridge and cleans up minties face, a smile coming to her face, "Was that tastey? did you like that? Nicky is such a good cook isnt she?", she says cooing. Finishing with teh cleaning she glances back to Swiss, "I see... I also notice your back to your old self, glad to see it, I also take from the lack of stretch marks you had the sense to do so after changing"
  55. [2015-05-16 21:55:50]<SpiritOfFate> "Yes." Sieglinde says. "I am grateful for your help Firefly. It is good that my sibling found a new body."
  56. [2015-05-16 21:56:57]* Swiss_Provolone snorts, "Was planning to change back sooner, but I thought I might keep it as an ace in the hole. They wouldn't expect a mare to suddenly become a stallion, could've used that to surprise 'em if I got in bigger trouble." he answers, "Either way, this feels... right."
  57. [2015-05-16 21:57:05]* Firefly giggles. "Its no problem. I'm actually taking another robot or two over to the labs. If your sibling needs any help with its code, they'd be the best to help with it. I can't really fiddle with software without crashing it."
  58. [2015-05-16 21:57:21]<SpiritOfFate> Minty babbles
  59. [2015-05-16 21:58:55]* Royal_Lace smiles at her daughter, waggling a hoof her way. "I see... very resourcful, Im quite sure I would not have thought of that myself".
  60. [2015-05-16 22:02:24]* Swiss_Provolone "Been a soldier since you were a filly ma'am, I've been through my fair share of fights." he replies
  61. [2015-05-16 22:07:00]* Royal_Lace nods and levetates over her notes on what she had learned, "I see, well are you prepared to relay all that information to Tamara? If so I have further details to share, though It may be best if I just send them on with you if your going that way"
  62. [2015-05-16 22:09:20]* Swiss_Provolone nods, "I can go and tell her, or I could bring her here if you prefer."
  63. [2015-05-16 22:11:40]* Royal_Lace "You can inform her that our doors are open is she has further questions about it, your also free to read the information yourself, but do keep it close as im not sure how liberal she will want to be with the information. If you want to be of use past that I would simply love it if you can run me Bubble Popers report on how the ship faired, knowing his connection to it he probably has it half disasembled inspecting it"
  64. [2015-05-16 22:15:27]* Full_Physical will wake the surgeon bot to the sky carriage
  65. [2015-05-16 22:21:37]* Swiss_Provolone "Sure thing, though theres one thing bugging me ma'am." he says, turning to face Royal_Lace, "Those hounds are well equipped, and they're damn tough.Whats stopping them from attacking this place? All the pony power don't mean much if our weapons barely pierce their hides."
  66. [2015-05-16 22:22:12]<SpiritOfFate> The surgeon bot is heavy, Full_Physical struggles to drag it on his own.
  67. [2015-05-16 22:22:35]* Full_Physical has quit (Quit: We be chillin - IceChat style)
  68. [2015-05-16 22:22:43]* Royal_Lace shrugs, "Before now? they were unprovoked, they would have seemed the agressor... know? im not sure"
  69. [2015-05-16 22:24:39]* Full_Physical (IceChat78@Pony-hti8h7.wa.charter.com) has joined
  70. [2015-05-16 22:25:18]<Full_Physical> "Say, Ignis, could you give me a hoof with this?"
  71. [2015-05-16 22:28:50]* Swiss_Provolone nods, "Might want to find a reason to keep them at bay. Some of the strongest ponies I've fought couldn't put a dent in these monsters, and I've fought a lot of ponies. I barely took two hounds down by the element of surprise. If a whole pack barreled down on us, ponies ain't getting out without casualties." he tells Royal_Lace, seriousness etched across his face
  72. [2015-05-16 22:30:26]* Royal_Lace nods
  73. [2015-05-16 22:31:07]* Ignis nods and goes to give a helping.
  74. [2015-05-16 22:32:20]<SpiritOfFate> Sieglinde heads to the sky carriage, along with the nursebot
  75. [2015-05-16 22:33:28]* Firefly gets herself attached to the sky carriage. "Well, this should be interesting... never carried this much weight in a carriage."
  76. [2015-05-16 22:33:49]<Full_Physical> "I could just walk if that would help."
  77. [2015-05-16 22:35:07]* Full_Physical is now known as Observer1
  78. [2015-05-16 22:35:47]* Full_Physical (bobobo878@Pony-hti8h7.wa.charter.com) has joined
  79. [2015-05-16 22:36:33]* Firefly shakes her head. "Let me try. I should be able to do it... just need to stretch." The filly starts to stretch and warm up her wings.
  80. [2015-05-16 22:37:27]<Full_Physical> "Huh? Well okay, if you don't think you'll strain yourself..."
  81. [2015-05-16 22:37:54]* Swiss_Provolone heads off to Tamara to give her a run down of recent events
  82. [2015-05-16 22:38:43]<Firefly> "If its too much trouble, then
  83. [2015-05-16 22:39:45]<Firefly> "If its too much trouble, then I can provide air support and fly over for those walking." She smiles. "Alright... let's do this." She smiles.
  84. [2015-05-16 22:40:42]<SpiritOfFate> Tamara is at the mudpony encampment, checking the weapons along with her soldiers.
  85. [2015-05-16 22:44:42]* Swiss_Provolone trots up to Tamara, "Afternoon ma'am, how are things down here?" he asks, looking over the soliders as well
  86. [2015-05-16 22:45:27]* Firefly starts flapping her wings... faster... and faster... and faster... and she takes off with the Sky Carriage and everyone in it! "I knew I could do it!"
  87. [2015-05-16 22:48:31]<SpiritOfFate> "Everything in order. We were waiting for you. What did you find out?" Tamara asks
  88. [2015-05-16 22:53:47]<Swiss_Provolone> ACTION grimaces, "The place is as bad as it seems, they've got a tower tethering all the collars and keeping the slaves in line. Might be able to depower or destroy it, but then the hounds are strong enough that any slave attempting to make a break for it won't get far. The bastards are well armed, and damn powerful. One group of slaves I found mentioned that the coal caves are volatile and could blow the operation sky high if we got s
  89. [2015-05-16 22:54:59]* Swiss_Provolone *some explosive in the right spots."
  90. [2015-05-16 22:57:44]<SpiritOfFate> "That has potential. The fire would divert their attention. But we need to make sure no ponies are mining. How about the tower, is it vulnerable?"
  91. [2015-05-16 22:59:41]* Swiss_Provolone "Its powered by a generator of the north of the compound, its well guarded at that." he replies, "Probably the best chance short of demolition of the tower itself."
  92. [2015-05-16 23:02:14]<SpiritOfFate> "It's best if a specialized team handles the tower. We can't risk the collars activating by a mistake." Tamara says
  93. [2015-05-16 23:02:47]<SpiritOfFate> Firefly pushes herself hard and manages to take everyone back to the garage
  94. [2015-05-16 23:03:25]* Royal_Lace has quit (Ping timeout: 121 seconds)
  95. [2015-05-16 23:06:05]* Swiss_Provolone looks over Tamara's soldiers again, "And how about these folks, they know just what they're up against?" he asks her
  96. [2015-05-16 23:10:28]<Full_Physical> After arriving at the garage, Full Physical will head to the lab and look for the sand dog
  97. [2015-05-16 23:11:59]<SpiritOfFate> "As much as we can manage to know. A year ago, we were still hiding out in the marshes and fighting a losing war. We have more of a chance than ever." Tamara says
  98. [2015-05-16 23:12:38]<SpiritOfFate> Kabosu is fiddling with a mechanical device.
  99. [2015-05-16 23:13:51]<Full_Physical> "Hello Kabosu, have you learned anything about the sample I brought?"
  100. [2015-05-16 23:16:07]* Swiss_Provolone nods, "Well if they hope to survive any encounter with these hounds they better hope to be at the top of their game. Any hesitation, any mistake and they /will/ get cleaved in an instant." he tells her, "Do you think they're ready for that?" he asks
  101. [2015-05-16 23:21:42]<SpiritOfFate> "Oh, Fizzy, I finally discovered it. The color didn't seem to match normal tissue, I analyzed it more closely and discovered some substances similar to common chems, such as the composition of Buck and Mint-Al. From the way the mutated cell structure looked, it must have been synthesized by the body of the subject." Kabosu says
  102. [2015-05-16 23:25:52]<Full_Physical> "So the mutated tissue is making chems? This is... Wow. I'll have to check with the patient, see if the drugs are affecting them..."
  103. [2015-05-16 23:29:31]<SpiritOfFate> "We have relied on skirmish tactics before, but it wouldn't be enough if they attack directly. In case of a full assault we have the walled salvage yard as a defensible position. We are also enhancing the barricade around the settlement as we can to make sure it won't be necessary. However if they decide to attack us, their bases will be vulnerable. They don't have the numbers for a safe open assault." Tamara says.
  104. [2015-05-16 23:30:46]<Full_Physical> "The patient had a series of needlemarks around the affected tissue, could they have been extracting the drugs?"
  105. [2015-05-16 23:35:21]* Swiss_Provolone "The settlement will slow, maybe even repel an attack, thats good. But I meant are your soldiers ready for that? For their sake, they should be prepared to take a hound head on. They'll only have one chance to get it right." he asks her
  106. [2015-05-16 23:35:37]<SpiritOfFate> "I would have to look more closely, but you might be able to tell better than I. It's really unusual that this would happen th"
  107. [2015-05-16 23:35:57]<SpiritOfFate> "to begin with." Kabosu says.
  108. [2015-05-16 23:41:06]<SpiritOfFate> "To intensify the drills, we would have to lower the amount of mudponies patrolling and mantaining the community. There is a trade-off. To fight in equal ground, we also would need better equipment."
  109. [2015-05-16 23:45:36]* Swiss_Provolone nods, "Short of finding a hidden armory or cheap seller, not much we can do about the equipment. Unless we just want to toss our soldiers into a meat grinder, that may be a trade-off we need to make."
