(6:06:25 PM) DontAskForCookies: Group 10 session 2 starts now
(6:09:21 PM) DontAskForCookies: The relitive peacful droll of music echoing through the cool air within the cramped APC is broken by a short pause of silence, followed by a loud shout. "Gooood  morning Wasteland!"
(6:10:37 PM) DontAskForCookies: Cool air drifts inside from the vents along the side of the APC, its walls cool to the touch. The voice on the radio continues to assault the sleeping ears of the vehicals homeless inhabitants.
(6:12:27 PM) DontAskForCookies: "Im DJ pon3, your freind in the wastse and Im going to be with you all day playing the same shit as yesterday. Go ahead and fix yourself some breakfast and brew some coffee, its going to be a long day of scrapeing by a meeger exsistance and dodging raiders".
(6:12:42 PM) ***Trefoil has climbed out of the APC's cabin.  The outside may be terrifying, but somepony needs to keep watch for whatever may still exist in the blasted wastes.  Also, that pretty sweet guy with the late night show.
(6:13:06 PM) DontAskForCookies: "Ill be back in just a moment to spin you some news frome the waste, but first? how about some tunes?"
(6:13:21 PM) DontAskForCookies: The voice cuts out and is replaced by music
(6:13:47 PM) ***Violet snorts and rolls over...unfortunately there isn't any room to roll around. she ends up half hanging off of the driver's chair, her head thudding against the floor "Owfuckowowow"
(6:14:19 PM) ***Gizmo wakes up slowly and sits on the chair, he sneezes a little bit. "Achoo!" He says and wipes his nose. "C-cold."
(6:14:36 PM) ***Hospice wriggles and moans on her seat, fighting the urge to wake up. "Uguu---"
(6:14:43 PM) ***Steel_Innocence yawns and stretches herself (as much as she can, in such a cramped place). "Good Morning, DJ pon3. Good morning, wasteland. Good morning, friends."
(6:15:00 PM) ***Trefoil sticks her head back through the hatch, "Mornin' everypony.  Looks like it ain't as dead as we thought out here."
(6:15:46 PM) ***Violet tries to wiggle out of her awkward position...or at least get her flank out of the air.
(6:15:55 PM) ***Puzzler wakes up starteld by the voice on the Radio. For a second he tries to reach around, looking for his blanket. Then is reminded of what happened the previous day, he quickly sits up. Shivering slightly from the cold.
(6:16:35 PM) ***Steel_Innocence pulls a brushie out of her saddlebags and begin fixing her mane.
(6:17:22 PM) Trefoil: "Need some help Vi?"
(6:17:31 PM) ***Hospice continues trying to do everything to avoid waking up. Using utility barding as a makeshift blanket, she pulled it over head again and tried to sink deeper into her seat.
(6:17:33 PM) ***Trefoil eyes her coworkers plot.
(6:17:40 PM) ***Violet grumbles "A little."
(6:17:41 PM) ***Gizmo chuckles at Violet's situation.
(6:18:11 PM) ***Trefoil tumbles through the hatch back into the main compartment, "Sgt. Trefoil is on the case!"
(6:19:31 PM) ***Puzzler stands up and stretches his back, flaps his wings two times and tries to stifle a yawn. "Morning.." He mumbles
(6:20:15 PM) ***Violet fumes at needing Tre's help but sits still until she can get her out of here.
(6:20:49 PM) Gizmo: "Hey Violet, i offered to take the seat but you said no." Gizmo shrugs
(6:21:00 PM) Puzzler left the room (quit: Connection closed).
(6:21:24 PM) Pantzar [[email protected]] entered the room.
(6:21:38 PM) Pantzar is now known as Puzzler
(6:21:49 PM) mode (+v Puzzler) by Violet
(6:22:00 PM) ***Trefoil shakes off the blow to her head, waving to the stirring ponies before heading forward.  Examining the situation further, Tre decides the best coruse of action is to offer the filly something to push off of.  Kneeling in front of her Tre stuck out her head, "Alright, let's see..."
(6:22:01 PM) ***Violet grumbles again "And I was doing fine until about 3 minutes ago...Maybe I shouldn't have slept in my armor..."
(6:22:51 PM) Trefoil: "Out here?  Probably smart to sleep on our arms."
(6:23:14 PM) ***Trefoil tries to push Violet back up onto the seat.
(6:23:21 PM) ***Violet sighs "You didn't happen to see a shower anywhere, di ya tre?"
(6:23:31 PM) ***Violet pops free with a little 'eep'
(6:23:46 PM) ***Steel_Innocence picks a small pony figurine from the vehicle panel and places it carefully back in her saddlebags.
(6:23:52 PM) ***Hospice finally peaks her head out of her "blanket". Her eyes were completely unfocused and her hair comletely unkempt. "...we need to destroy that radio."
(6:23:54 PM) ***Gizmo sighs and shakes his head. "Nope."
(6:24:36 PM) Trefoil: "Ha!  And, er, no.  No there aren't.  No lakes or anything either."
(6:24:48 PM) ***Trefoil sighs, "Already looked."
(6:24:58 PM) ***Violet scrambles out and up, giving Tre a hug "Oh well..."
(6:26:04 PM) ***Trefoil nuzzles her back, "Nopony smells that bad yet."
(6:26:35 PM) Violet: "You know what? I'm technically not on Duty, and Gizmo's driving today. I'm taking my damned armor off for a little bit."
(6:26:53 PM) ***Puzzler sighs softly, sits down and start to preen his feathers. Trying to ignore the outside world for just a minute.
(6:26:54 PM) ***Hospice groaned. She fell back into her seat, closed her eyes again, and threw her utility blanket over her again.
(6:27:21 PM) Trefoil: "Alright, keep it nearby though."
(6:27:23 PM) ***Steel_Innocence looks at Hospice, brush still in hoof. "Do you want some-oh..."
(6:28:06 PM) ***Trefoil looks around, "Food.  Everypony should eat a little something, drink a little fresh water while we still have it."
(6:28:29 PM) ***Hospice tried, but she didn't even come close towards going back to sleep. She poked her head out again, "uh...yeah?"
(6:28:51 PM) ***Violet smiles "Mmhmm." She trots off to find a free patch of floor and begins to undo the straps of her security barding, setting it down beside her, wiggling around and giving a happy little squee once she's free of its confines.
(6:29:44 PM) ***Steel_Innocence waves the hoof with the brush towards Hospice. "Brushie?"
(6:30:12 PM) ***Trefoil slips back into the cab to speak to Gizmo
(6:30:29 PM) ***Puzzler curiously eyes Violet. Shrugs and keeps preening. Might not be needed, but it is relaxing.
(6:30:49 PM) ***Hospice looked confused for a second. Her vision was still somewhat blurry and she just stared blankly at Steel for several seconds before something in her head snapped. "Oh!" She put her hooves toward her hair, "Oh! Um, sure."
(6:32:46 PM) Trefoil: "Hey, mechanic."
(6:34:30 PM) ***Gizmo looks towards Trefoil. "Dont call me that."
(6:34:36 PM) Gizmo: "Call me by my name."
(6:35:24 PM) ***Trefoil shrugs, "Why?  You're a mechanic, right?  Hospice is a doctor, sort of, I'm a security guard.... so's Vi and Steel though so that'd get kinda confusing."
(6:35:34 PM) Trefoil: "Point is, I gotta question.
(6:35:35 PM) Trefoil: "
(6:35:36 PM) ***Steel_Innocence clumsily moves towards the back of the vehicle, trying to get her huge self through, taking a place besides Hospice. She starts brushing her mane with slow, gentle strokes,
(6:36:46 PM) ***Gizmo sighs "What is it then Security?"
(6:37:17 PM) ***Hospice glanced around awkwardly. She typically never really bothered to brush her hair, usually opting to just smoosh it down with her magic. She continued glancing around and simply feeling very awkward. Although it was a rather enjoyable experience, she was going to great lengths to hide that.
(6:38:18 PM) ***Violet is doing a little wiggly jig out of her armor humming along with the music
(6:38:25 PM) ***Trefoil plops down behind the driver seat, "See, not that hard to give a nickname is it?  How long you think it'll take us to get up to the away team's beacon?  We can't go straight up, and this road's pretty decent for having been unmaintained for a hundred years."
(6:38:55 PM) Ember [[email protected]] entered the room.
(6:38:57 PM) ***Puzzler looks at all the ponies in the small space. Moves over to a corner to not be in the way of anypony. Trying to ignore the music he brings out one of the Catriges; he starts to analyze it, what would such a thing be used for anyway?
(6:39:38 PM) ***Gizmo looks to Violet out of the corner of his eye, before snapping back to attention to Trefoil. "Well, I'd say if we dont get sidetracked, maybe an hour at most."
(6:41:00 PM) Trefoil: "Uh huh.... alright.  Try and drive slow, I'm gonna try riding in the hatch."
(6:41:10 PM) Trefoil: "Well, not slow, just not too many sudden moves."
(6:41:41 PM) ***Violet tilts her head "Hmmm. I think I'll give Steel a break today..."
(6:42:33 PM) Trefoil: "Gonna take a turn on the bike?  Alright, don't exhaust yourself kiddo."
(6:42:59 PM) ***Violet drags her armor up to the co-drivers seat and plops down "Yup."
(6:43:33 PM) ***Gizmo sighs yet again before getting all tucked in at the wheel. "Yeah yeah yeah, no promises, this is like my second time driving."
(6:44:12 PM) ***Puzzler is puzzled by the catrige, not getting any smarter by having a staring contest with it he puts it back in his bardingpocket with a shrug and return to his seat.
(6:44:15 PM) Trefoil: "You're probably already improving."
(6:44:40 PM) Violet: "It's not hard Gizmo, and I'll be up there with ya."
(6:44:48 PM) Violet: (up here*)
(6:44:52 PM) ***Trefoil stands up, giving them both a reassuring salute before stepping up to mount the vehicle's hatch, "Alright in back, buckle in!"
(6:45:28 PM) ***Gizmo meekly smiles to Violet. "T-thanks." He looks at the machine and smiles as he recongnizes many of the controls. "I'm ready when you all are."
(6:45:59 PM) ***Puzzler looks around for a buckle.. Realising there are none he slumps a little. "Being stupid again Puzzler.."
(6:46:08 PM) ***Violet nods and starts pedaling, starting off slowly and increasing her speed until she's at a managable pace.
(6:46:50 PM) ***Steel_Innocence smiles satisfied, seeing Hospice's mane done and prettified. "There."
(6:46:57 PM) ***Trefoil doesn't even get to make a smart ass quip before Vi starts pedaling.  Instead, she braces herself in the open and hopes nopony with a rifle decides her helmet would look better with AC.
(6:47:10 PM) ***Gizmo starts to steer the APC, getting a good feel for it. "Keep that Speed Vi." He says casually.
(6:47:28 PM) ***Trefoil also wishes she had some goggles.  Oh well.
(6:47:32 PM) ***Violet wasn't in a hurry to go faster "Yup."
(6:47:38 PM) DontAskForCookies: After nearly a hour and a half of driving the ponies find themselves at a interesction before the path leading up the steep incline of the other side of the ravine. Before them is a faded and rusty roadsine
(6:48:01 PM) ***Violet has a pair of sunglasses resting on top of her head.
(6:48:15 PM) ***Hospice gingerly felt her mane with her hooves, "Wow...is this my mane? Well, of course it is. But um..." She turned towards Steel and frowned before her frown quickly dissipated, "Um...thanks?"
(6:48:24 PM) ***Puzzler acctualy has a pair of goggles.
(6:48:40 PM) DontAskForCookies: Printed in barely legable white words is the name, "Stable tech supply depot"
(6:48:47 PM) ***Gizmo has a pair as well
(6:48:58 PM) ***Trefoil calls out, "Hey!  Ya'll see that?"
(6:48:59 PM) DontAskForCookies: Beneath it is another sighn but it has rusted beyond recognition. both point south.
(6:49:06 PM) Violet: "...stable tech...showers? Oh please luna let there be showers. I need a shower."
(6:49:39 PM) ***Gizmo chuckles. "I see it, it says a supply depot, which means replacement parts and such, should we go?"
(6:49:44 PM) Trefoil: "That's like the last thing we need Vi.  Food, liquor, water, ammo, weapons, booze.
(6:50:01 PM) Violet: "You said booze twice."
(6:50:08 PM) Violet: "And if there are showers there is water."
(6:50:20 PM) ***Trefoil leans down, "Hell yes!  We're probably gonna need more supplies for this shindig.  You mean if there's water there's showers."
(6:50:22 PM) ***Hospice smirked. "Drinking shower water? I'll pass..."
(6:50:24 PM) ***Trefoil sticks her tongue out.
(6:50:27 PM) Steel_Innocence: "Is this the place 23?"
(6:50:30 PM) ***Puzzler "Stable Tech.." he sighs, maybe there was another stable nearby he could crawl into.
(6:50:48 PM) Trefoil: "No Steel, not quite yet."
(6:50:59 PM) Steel_Innocence: "Aww..."
(6:51:27 PM) ***Gizmo smiles. "Sounds like we have a pitstop to make first." He starts turning towards the south.
(6:51:28 PM) ***Violet grumbles "Stick your tongue out again, Tre. I swear I'll bite it."
(6:52:05 PM) Trefoil: "Yep, we're gonna try to get some more stuff to eat Steel.... probably guarded.... or looted..... drive slow guys."
(6:52:22 PM) ***Trefoil sticks her tongue out before popping back out of the hatch, "Booze is important!"
(6:52:46 PM) Hospice: "It's only a two-hundred year old supply depot. Nobody could have taken any of them in that time!", Hospice sarcastically commented.
(6:53:00 PM) ***Hospice sighed, "But I suppose it's worth a look."
(6:53:08 PM) Trefoil: "Exactly."
(6:53:33 PM) ***Gizmo smiles. "It might be locked." He says before adding, "And that means nopony would have gotten in."
(6:53:33 PM) ***Trefoil keeps to her peace about Stable 23 and the rescue party's chances to have survived.
(6:53:50 PM) Trefoil: "It could also have so many turrets and mines nopony got in."
(6:53:55 PM) ***Violet realizes something, playing with her necklace with a hoof "I'm pedaling, we don't know whats ahead, and I don't have my armor on...Bluh why'd I even take it off..."
(6:54:07 PM) Trefoil: "Tooooold you~"
(6:54:08 PM) ***Hospice stared at Trefoil. "Wait. What?"
(6:54:30 PM) ***Puzzler gets slightly worried now. "T-turrets? A-are we sure about this plan?"
(6:54:49 PM) Violet: "Tre, c'mere a second."
(6:54:54 PM) ***Hospice wasn't really against the plan. She just didn't want to be in front.
(6:55:00 PM) ***Gizmo chuckles slightly to Violet. "Well, I personally think you look better without it. But, at the first sign of trouble i suggest putting it back on."
(6:55:09 PM) Violet: "Help me get my armor on would you?"
(6:55:30 PM) ***Steel_Innocence looks around confused. "Trouble? Mean ponies?"
(6:55:53 PM) Gizmo: "Yahoos." Gizo says simply to Steel.
(6:55:57 PM) Gizmo: Gizmo*
(6:56:03 PM) DontAskForCookies: The road continues south, spliting and cracking in places but generally reamining in fair condition. In the distance looms a squat white cement brick two story complex surrounded in a mostly collapsed chain-link fence.
(6:56:12 PM) ***Trefoil pulls the hatch shut and drops back into the APC, "We're in an armored vehicle, we'll probably be okay.  Unless they thought ahead and laid AT mines."
(6:56:33 PM) ***Violet frowns "Would you stop that? I'm already nervous enough as it is..."
(6:56:39 PM) ***Trefoil nods to Steel, "Maybe kid, we'll just have to be real careful."
(6:56:52 PM) ***Trefoil holds Vi's armor up with her telekinesis.
(6:57:02 PM) ***Hospice laughed for perhaps the first time any of the ponies had seen, largely because she found Trefoil's pessimism amusing.
(6:57:43 PM) ***Violet starts slipping her armor back on with the aid of Tre's tk
(6:57:58 PM) Trefoil: "that's the spirit Hospice, laugh in the face of death!  Especially since we don't have any flamable fuel to immoleate us."
(6:58:11 PM) ***Trefoil only ever read the war stories in the stable library
(6:58:22 PM) DontAskForCookies: As the ponies approch they pass by a small toll booth, its beam long since claimed by the years. A small parking lot before the building is mostly empty, occupied by only two rusty remains of what look like old world vechicals. A rusty metal stable tech sighn hangs above the double door entrance to the building
(6:59:00 PM) ***Gizmo keeps steering but wonders something. "Hey, if Stable Tec saw the bombs dropping as a future thing, why have a supply depot thats not protected like a Stable?"
(6:59:12 PM) DontAskForCookies: A apparent dirt path leads around the building into another area that also seems to be fenced off
(7:00:07 PM) DontAskForCookies: The APC pulls closer to the building, the still locked chain-link fence standing between them and the parking lot...
(7:00:20 PM) ***Puzzler "Maybe they stored spare parts for the stables in there.."
(7:00:26 PM) Trefoil: "No idea.  Maybe they didn't expect it to be quite so bad?"
(7:00:40 PM) ***Violet slows her pedaling to a stop.
(7:00:46 PM) Gizmo: "Should we just drive? Maybe the fence wont hold."
(7:00:51 PM) ***Hospice sits obediently in her seat, trying not be noticed. After all, someone had to get off the APC first, and she was going to make sure that it wasn't going to be her.
(7:00:56 PM) Trefoil: "And what Wings said, maybe it's left over from when they were building all this stuff."
(7:01:10 PM) ***Trefoil heads back towards the rear gate, "Okay Steel, follow me."
(7:01:19 PM) Trefoil: "Gizmo!  Get ready to drop the ramp!"
(7:01:47 PM) ***Violet hops out of the co-driver seat, pulling her pistol out of it's holster just in case and standing beside Trefoil
(7:02:00 PM) ***Steel_Innocence follows Trefoil. "Okay."
(7:02:25 PM) ***Gizmo nods. "Dropping the ramp!" He says pulling a switch, causing the ramp to drop outside.
(7:02:35 PM) ***Puzzler nods at Tre. Starting to pay attention to the ramp now. Peaking over his seat he watches the back of the APC.
(7:03:24 PM) Trefoil: "everypony else, stay back and wait for our signal!"
(7:03:45 PM) Trefoil: *Everypony
(7:04:03 PM) ***Puzzler is experianced at staying back. Does so.
(7:04:03 PM) ***Steel_Innocence looks at the ramp, wondering what her friend see of so interesting about it. It's an old ramp. Maybe it's a very smart ramp, like old ponies are.
(7:05:48 PM) ***Trefoil doesn't draw any weapons, deciding to rely on her magic at least initially.
(7:06:13 PM) ***Violet heads out since she's got the pistol
(7:06:22 PM) ***Trefoil follows, turning the other way.
(7:07:00 PM) ***Hospice frowned. She wasn't sure whether to stay or go.
(7:07:42 PM) Trefoil: "Gizmo, close it up for now until we know it's safe."
(7:07:58 PM) ***Gizmo nods and starts raising the ramp
(7:10:10 PM) ***Puzzler dons his goggles and starts climbing up the hatch. Opening it. Looking outside. Ready to dive back in again at the first sign of trouble.
(7:10:11 PM) DontAskForCookies: The air outside the APC is just as cold as the surrounding area, but a slight wind from the south carries a warmer breeze. A strange and somehow unhealthy seeming green cloud appears to be drifting into the sky from somewhere behind the building.
(7:11:30 PM) ***Gizmo looks closely. "Hey, Violet, you see that cloud?"
(7:11:31 PM) Trefoil: "Well that don't look good.  Okay, let's spread out and check the parking lot for any sign of danger, other ponies.... what have you."
(7:11:40 PM) Trefoil: *Well this
(7:11:43 PM) Violet: "Yea."
(7:12:02 PM) Trefoil: "Cloud?"
(7:12:57 PM) ***Steel_Innocence frowns. "Somepony burned their food."
(7:13:12 PM) ***Gizmo nods. "Yeah, and not the hero from Foalnal Fantasy 7"
(7:13:30 PM) Trefoil: "Right..."
(7:13:45 PM) ***Trefoil fiddles with her gas mask bag
(7:13:52 PM) Trefoil: "Okay, let's get through this."
(7:14:21 PM) ***Violet keeps her tongue on the trigger of her pistol warily making her way closer to the building, and the cloud.
(7:14:31 PM) Trefoil: "Vi, check those cars then set up and get ready to cover us.  Steel, you wanna check the big metal fency thing?"
(7:14:40 PM) ***Trefoil turns towards the front door herself.
(7:14:47 PM) ***Violet shifts her direction towards the cares.
(7:14:53 PM) ***Gizmo grabs his tire iron and pops out from the hatch next to the three of them.
(7:14:59 PM) Violet: cars*
(7:15:03 PM) Trefoil: "Comin' along Giz?"
(7:15:18 PM) Gizmo: "Wouldnt miss it, tech by the dozens in there i hope."
(7:15:36 PM) Trefoil: "Yeah.  Hopefully in a manner that won't explode in our face."
(7:15:46 PM) ***Steel_Innocence nods. "Okay" She proceeds to check the metal fency thing. At this distance it looks very fency, but you never know, so she goes to take a closer look.
(7:16:16 PM) ***Gizmo trots with Trefoil towards the front doors. "Well, I hope for one that will explode in ponies faces just in a more 'me controling it' kinda way."
(7:17:11 PM) ***Violet looks through the windows of the vehicles
(7:17:13 PM) Trefoil: "Oh yeah, that's why I said /our/ and not /their/."
(7:17:51 PM) ***Hospice sighed, laid back in her chair, and tried not to stare at the only other occupant of the APC.
(7:18:00 PM) ***Hospice was doing quite a poor job at that.
(7:19:19 PM) ***Gizmo chuckles. "Good point, now." He looks at the doors. "Let's check this place out."
(7:19:48 PM) Trefoil: "Yep."
(7:19:57 PM) ***Trefoil reaches out with TK to try the handle.
(7:20:23 PM) ***Violet is trying to pick the lock of the back hatch of one of the cehicles
(7:20:23 PM) Violet: vehicles*
(7:20:26 PM) ***Puzzler is also trying to not looking at Hospice with the same luck.. "Do.. Do we follow them?" he finally says. Looking down at his seat. Not able to bear the silence anymore.
(7:20:48 PM) ***Steel_Innocence realizes that the fency thing is actually not all that fency when you look closer, being all broken and full of holes.
(7:23:24 PM) ***Gizmo sees the doors were opened. "Well fuck." He curses.
(7:23:27 PM) ***Trefoil opens the door with ease, "Oh.  Damn."
(7:23:43 PM) Trefoil: "Look's like we're probably SOL.  Wanna check it anyway Giz?"
(7:24:14 PM) ***Gizmo nods still. "Never know, maybe there was a computer with some good info."
(7:24:29 PM) ***Violet curses as she fails to open the lock. she calls out "Steel, Sweetie. Could you come here and do me a favor?"
(7:24:38 PM) DontAskForCookies: Beyond the door is a dark hall, leading to a entrance area with a wide desk. moldy carpeting sticks, its oder hanging heavily in the air
(7:24:40 PM) Trefoil: "Yeah, like what the hell the cartridge thing is and what we do with it."
(7:25:12 PM) ***Trefoil steps into the hall, considering lighting her horn or just letting her eyes adjust.
(7:25:13 PM) DontAskForCookies: a light from the cracked hall door behind the desk flickers, the only sorce of illumination for the room
(7:25:53 PM) Trefoil: "Okay.... I'm gonna light this bitch up Gizmo."
(7:25:59 PM) ***Steel_Innocence turns to Violet. "Oh. Okay..." She notices how messy her mane is and takes the brushie out of her saddlebag.
(7:26:06 PM) DontAskForCookies: Now that you are in the room you can make out a few chairs along the wall across from the desk
(7:26:14 PM) ***Gizmo notices the light nd trots towards it. "Okay, go ahead." He puts on his goggles.
(7:26:39 PM) ***Puzzler ears drop slightly as he slumps down on in his seat. Looking over at Hospice again. "I-I don't hear any violence.. I'm going to check the hatch." He states and climbs up the hatch again to see what is happening outside.
(7:27:04 PM) DontAskForCookies: The light is comeing from the cracked door behind the desk, a slight electronic buzz accompanies each flicker of the light
(7:27:27 PM) ***Trefoil turns on the soft glow of a bsic light spell, "Broken computer?"
(7:28:00 PM) DontAskForCookies: A busted computer terminal sits on the desk, producing no light
(7:28:11 PM) Trefoil: *basic
(7:28:30 PM) DontAskForCookies: Sitting on the desk are a few quills, bits of dissentigrating paper and a fake plant
(7:28:45 PM) ***Trefoil checks the papers on the desk and then starts pulling open drawers.
(7:29:03 PM) Trefoil: "See any signs of other ponies Gizmo?"
(7:29:16 PM) ***Trefoil looks for hoofprints in the dust come to think og it.
(7:29:17 PM) Trefoil: *of
(7:29:22 PM) ***Violet waits for Steel to advance on her with her brush "Could you open this dear?" She points at the locked door.
(7:30:41 PM) DontAskForCookies: Inside the desk is a old Apple bomb snack, two bobbie pins, and a bottle cap
(7:30:45 PM) Steel_Innocence: "Oh, right." She places the brushie back on her bag and tries to open the door.
(7:31:40 PM) ***Steel_Innocence pulls a little too strongly and the door is sent flying. "Oops."
(7:32:37 PM) DontAskForCookies: As the hatch screetches open viloently (the sound echoing across the valley) the ponies are rewarded by the sight of a large suitcase
(7:33:01 PM) ***Violet smiles "No problem dear." She dives in, looking through the trunk
(7:33:04 PM) DontAskForCookies: No signs of recent pony activity can bee seen on the dusty floor
(7:33:48 PM) DontAskForCookies: inside the trunk are: 1 dress in fair condition, 1 Stable tech jumpsuit, and two large coats
(7:34:34 PM) ***Trefoil 's mild kleptomania dictates she pocket everything.
(7:35:04 PM) ***Gizmo looks around the room as well. "Odd. I wonder what produced the light."
(7:35:20 PM) ***Violet hides the dress in her bags and grabs one of the coats, putting it on "This other one should fit you, Steel. It's quite cold out here."
(7:35:37 PM) ***Trefoil looks around for any other exits out of the room further into the warehouse.
(7:35:43 PM) ***Puzzler "It seems safe enough." He says, more to himself then anypony else. Starting to climb out of the hatch and ontop of the APC. Getting his first proper look of  the area for the first time. On shaky leggs he hoovers down to the ground from the roof of the APC.
(7:36:17 PM) Puzzler: wings*
(7:37:11 PM) DontAskForCookies: The only exit seems to be the door behind the desk, a gentel push swings the door open to reveal the flickering light of a sparkle cola machine
(7:37:27 PM) ***Steel_Innocence 's eyes follow the dress as Violet takes it away. She accepts the coat, a little disappointed. "Oh, thanks..."
(7:37:56 PM) ***Trefoil sighs and trots over to stalk the mechanic.
(7:38:02 PM) DontAskForCookies: The light from the machine illuminates a short hall with three doors, one left, one in the back, and one to the right
(7:38:04 PM) ***Hospice nodded at his comment, even if he didn't notice. She sneakily crawls up behind him and looks over her shoulder. As he jumps over the side, she follows.
(7:38:07 PM) Trefoil: "Ooooh!  Sparkle Cola!"
(7:38:27 PM) Trefoil: "And doors.  Sweet."
(7:38:59 PM) ***Gizmo smiles as he looks at the doors. "You get some soda, and ill check out the doors."
(7:39:03 PM) Trefoil: "You go right, I'll go left?"
(7:39:17 PM) ***Gizmo nods. "Yeah."
(7:39:26 PM) ***Puzzler the feeling of agoraphobia hits him again and he sits down on the ground hard. Trying not to panic again.
(7:39:41 PM) ***Trefoil is thankful to be inside, that's for sure.
(7:40:24 PM) ***Hospice frowned as the pegasus sat back down on the ground. She wondered what was wrong and went off towards him until she was hit by the same agoraphobia, crashing onto the ground a few paces behind him.
(7:40:52 PM) DontAskForCookies: The Sparkle cola machine contains a whopping 5 colas! the door to the back is unlocked, as is the one on the right, but the door on the left is locked
(7:41:00 PM) ***Trefoil rattles more door handles with TK, grateful all at once for being a unicorn.
(7:41:41 PM) Trefoil: "Hey, you know how to pick a lock?"
(7:42:04 PM) ***Gizmo s door opens just fine. "No, but i could give it a try,"
(7:42:10 PM) ***Violet sighs and leaves the vehicle to go check on Puzzler and Hospice "Are you two alright? Sure you want to be wandering around? I might be more safe for you to stay in the APC..."
(7:42:37 PM) Trefoil: "Eh, I'll give it a go."
(7:42:48 PM) Trefoil: "I found some bobby pins."
(7:43:15 PM) ***Gizmo goes over to the machine and pockets the colas. "I've got refreshments if we need some." Before looking into his unlocked room.
(7:43:41 PM) ***Hospice immediately got to her hooves again. "Alright? What do you mean? Couldn't be better?" She dusted off herself with magic. Despite clearly suffering from severe agoraphobia that everyone could tell, Hospice clearly refused to admit it.
(7:43:52 PM) ***Puzzler "Y-yeah, I-Im fine.. Thought we might need the cartriges in here or.. something." He says breathing heavily, keeping his eyes on the ground.
(7:44:12 PM) ***Steel_Innocence wanders around, taking a look at all the old, smarty cars. They don't talk a much though, like her little Steady pony.
(7:44:54 PM) ***Violet pulls her sunglasses off her head an hoofs them over to Hospice "Here...maybe these will help..."
(7:44:57 PM) ***Trefoil pulls a bobby pin out of her grenade bag along with a gun tool.
(7:46:16 PM) ***Hospice frowned, "Huh? What? Help with what? What do you mean? What are you implying?" Hospice was still keeping the act up.
(7:47:02 PM) ***Trefoil fiddles with the door for a few seconds before it pops open, "Fuckyeah!"
(7:47:17 PM) Trefoil: "I'm gonna want onea those cola's for this Giz!"
(7:47:21 PM) DontAskForCookies: After a little bit of work from Trefoil the locked door gives way to a cramped office
(7:47:24 PM) Violet: "Stop fucking lying Hospice, it's pissing me the fuck off. I'm trying to be fucking nice to you and you blow me off."
(7:47:37 PM) ***Puzzler notices the doors being open. Roof over his head seemed like a good idea. Not wanting to go in there all alone though he stands up staying next to the two mares. "Eyes on the ground Puzzler, eyes on the ground" he thinks to himself.
(7:47:42 PM) ***Gizmo chuckles as he hoofs Trefoil a cola. "Good job."
(7:47:47 PM) ***Violet grumbles and puts her sunglasses back on "eat a dick."
(7:47:55 PM) DontAskForCookies: A desk and a pair of file cabinates rests inside, as well as a computer terminal still glowing with life
(7:48:26 PM) Trefoil: "Okay, you wanna be science pony and check the terminal whilst I loot?"
(7:48:45 PM) ***Violet just tries to help Puzzler inside, ignoreing Hospice completely.
(7:48:52 PM) ***Gizmo nods as he goes over to the Terminal. For some reason he seems to be short on his words
(7:49:06 PM) ***Puzzler ears drop at Violets outburst. Seems to shrink back a little. But accepts Violets help, following her inside.
(7:49:25 PM) ***Trefoil sings, "Looty looty looooooot!"
(7:49:44 PM) ***Trefoil pops the cap off the Sparkle Cola, takes a sip, sets it on the desk, and starts going through drawers.
(7:49:45 PM) ***Puzzler "Thanks.. " he mumbles. Hating himself for being scared so easily.
(7:50:07 PM) ***Hospice gave Violet a death glare but remained silent. She would have probably charged straight into a confrontation if she were not wracked by her thoughts, wondering how Violet could see through her vastly overestimated acting abilities.
(7:50:24 PM) Violet: "Don't worry about it Puzzle."
(7:50:42 PM) ***Steel_Innocence realizes she is alone in the parking lot. "Friends?"
(7:51:10 PM) Violet: "Over here Steel!"
(7:51:21 PM) ***Violet is still outside, she's just helping Puzzler inside.
(7:51:22 PM) DontAskForCookies: Between the desk and file cabinates Trefoil finds a small tin of Mentals and a large collection of mostly ruined bound paperwork, what reamains seems to be a collection of water levels and other such data on the valley, as well as a data map of the pipeing system from 22 to 23
(7:52:14 PM) ***Hospice pounted and sat next to the APC. She would have headed back inside, but she felt that doing so would be letting Violet to win. Instead, she curled up as close to the APC as she possibly could, unhappy about being outside but still determined to stay there.
(7:52:22 PM) ***Puzzler relaxes significantly as they reach the doors of the building. Even more so as he moves inside.
(7:52:24 PM) ***Steel_Innocence bounces back to Violet's side. "Hi~"
(7:52:37 PM) ***Trefoil takes the Mentals and the map.  She considers sticking some of the books in her bag, but doesn't want to get mildew on everything, "Hey!  Look what I found!"
(7:53:04 PM) ***Violet glances back at Hospice and sighs "Steel, can you help Puzzler? I'm going to go...do something."
(7:53:48 PM) ***Gizmo curses as he gets locked out of the computer. "Yeah what?" He looks to Trefoil.
(7:54:01 PM) ***Steel_Innocence nods vigorously.
(7:54:20 PM) Trefoil: "Map!  All the pipes and shit between us and 23."
(7:54:36 PM) ***Violet slowly goes back over to Hospice, prodding her with a hoof "Cmon. I'm not leaving anypony out here. not even /you/." How she manages to put that much venom into a single word is mind-boggling.
(7:54:38 PM) ***Puzzler takes as step back from the bouncy pony. Just to make sure.
(7:55:49 PM) ***Gizmo looks at the maps. "How exactly does this help us?" He says, still sour from the terminal.
(7:55:56 PM) ***Hospice doesn't say a word, but she does frown back. She immediately got to her feet, tried to walk around Violet the best she could, and storm off to go inside the building.
(7:56:25 PM) ***Steel_Innocence follows Puzzler to the building.
(7:56:26 PM) Trefoil: "Dunno yet.  We might have to go down there, might give us a way back, someplace to hide."
(7:56:45 PM) ***Violet sighs and scratches her messy bedmane, cursing at the retreating Hospice's back under her breathe
(7:56:59 PM) ***Gizmo looks around again. "If this is a supply depot, wheres all the metal and machines?"
(7:57:02 PM) ***Trefoil looks for any maintenance access points or ponyholes or anything.
(7:57:17 PM) Trefoil: "Probably down past that door at the end of the hall by the pop machine."
(7:57:46 PM) ***Gizmo nods and goes to just that door, opening it and looking inside.
(7:57:53 PM) ***Puzzler looks back at Steel_Innocence. Then into the hallway. Then back to Steel again, wincing he says. "Um.. You go first, please?"
(7:58:21 PM) ***Trefoil trots after Gizmo, "What about the other room?"
(7:58:28 PM) Trefoil: "Anything cool in there?"
(7:58:41 PM) ***Steel_Innocence nods "Okay." She trots further into the building.
(7:58:55 PM) DontAskForCookies: behind the back door lies a large room with a high celing, full of steel shelving and wooden crates. Across the far wall are several garage loading doors.
(7:58:56 PM) ***Gizmo frowns. "You search it, i doubt itll have anything important to me." He says, more than a little mad
(7:59:16 PM) ***Trefoil frowns, "What I do?"
(7:59:20 PM) ***Violet decides to make sure the APC doesn't get stolen...never know. She plops down in the co-driver seat with her pistol in her lap
(7:59:32 PM) ***Puzzler follows Steel closely. She did defend him when they grew up after all. Feeling a little safer in her precense.
(7:59:45 PM) ***Trefoil turns, switching her tail, "Alright, fine.  Hollar if you need me."
(8:00:17 PM) ***Gizmo eyes the crates and pulls out his tire iron, ready to open the crates if they are nailed shut.
(8:01:06 PM) ***Trefoil waves broadly at Puzzler and Steel, "Howdy ponies.  Doc and Vi stay outside?"
(8:01:36 PM) Trefoil: *Vi stayed outside?"
(8:01:44 PM) DontAskForCookies: Most of the crate have already been pryed open or shattered, the few that remain seem to primarialy contain large coupolings for pipeing and such. Mostly plumbing supplies, probably for the pipes between 22 and 23
(8:02:03 PM) ***Puzzler s eyes catches note of the glowing light of the terminal. But is quickly distracted by Trefoil. "Uh.. " Looking back, from where tehy came. "Y-yeh, Violet is still outside."
(8:02:30 PM) Arcane_Scroll[A] is now known as Arcane_Scroll
(8:03:15 PM) ***Violet decides to climb up on top of the APC and lay down. Easier to keep watch when your view isn't obstructed, after all.
(8:03:20 PM) ***Gizmo curses again, in a terrible mood. "Nothing but crap pipes!" He says looking around.
(8:03:30 PM) Trefoil: "Okay, good somepony's watching the APC.  Uh, we already searched that room over there *points towards the terminal's glow* and Giz is already gone into the main storeroom.... which doesn't sound promising."
(8:03:57 PM) ***Trefoil scratches her head mane, "So, you know anything about computers Wings?"
(8:04:32 PM) ***Puzzler looks over at the terminal again. "Uhm.. A little?" he winces. "Why.. Is it broken?"
(8:04:40 PM) ***Hospice had somehow found her way to the congregation near the terminal. "So...I assume we haven't found anything?"
(8:04:44 PM) ***Steel_Innocence is drawn to the lighty box. "...maybe there is a letter in this one."
(8:05:02 PM) Trefoil: "No, but it's locked."
(8:05:22 PM) ***Gizmo kicks a box, annoyied at finding nothing. "FUCK!" He screams and falls to the ground in pain.
(8:05:30 PM) ***Trefoil shrugs, "Giz tried to crack it.... and I found a map of the pipes between 22 and 2- FUCK"
(8:05:38 PM) ***Steel_Innocence tip-taps her hooves on the keyboard,
(8:05:55 PM) ***Hospice is primarily paying attention to Steel's work on the keyboard.
(8:06:04 PM) ***Puzzler ears perk. "Oh!" Is noticiable exited.. Jumps at Gizmos outburst. "I-I-Ill have a look." He says, hurrying towards the terminal.
(8:06:07 PM) ***Violet tunes her pipbuck to that radio station they'd been listening to, putting the earpiece in and quietly humming along with the music
(8:06:13 PM) ***Trefoil nearly knocks over Puzzler in her haste to head back down the hall, "Be careful not to break it Steel!"
(8:06:30 PM) ***Trefoil canters down to the door and calls out, "Gizmo?  You alright?"
(8:06:53 PM) Gizmo: "No! I cant find shit here and i hurt my hoof on top of all this shit!"
(8:06:59 PM) DontAskForCookies: The computer screen flickers, a error messege repeating as Steel is blockd from the system
(8:07:12 PM) ***Puzzler has to sidestep to not be overrunned by Trefoil. Slows down. "This is why you always let everypony else go first." He thinks to himself as he moves towards the terminal
(8:07:18 PM) ***Steel_Innocence sees some shiny symbols, but no letter. "Aww..."
(8:08:01 PM) ***Puzzler "Uh.. C-can I try, Steel. Please?" He says, moving up next to steel. Looking up towards the terminal.
(8:08:02 PM) Trefoil: "Then don't kick heavy shit!  Doc!  Go check'em out!"
(8:08:15 PM) ***Hospice snorted. "I mean, there's no need to be disappointed. After all, what were we expecting? It's been hundreds of years. Like just you watch, nothing behind this one either."
(8:08:30 PM) ***Steel_Innocence moves to the side, still keeping a close eye on the lighty box.
(8:08:32 PM) ***Hospice walks up to the unopened door and nonchalantly shoves it open.
(8:08:41 PM) ***Trefoil rolls her eyes, "Just make sure he didn't break a leg."
(8:09:02 PM) Trefoil: "Or not.  Anything sweet behind door number two?"
(8:09:22 PM) ***Hospice discovers stairs!
(8:09:52 PM) DontAskForCookies: The computer once again rejects attempts to hack it
(8:10:24 PM) ***Gizmo gets up slowly and does a very slight limp towards the stairs. "We should go upstairs probably, maybe find something.
(8:10:26 PM) ***Puzzler frowns at the terminal as he also gets locked out. "Weird.. Im sure I.." he mumbles to himself.
(8:10:29 PM) ***Trefoil looks over Hospice's shoulders, "Oh hey, stairs.  Gizmo!  We got stairs!"
(8:10:38 PM) DontAskForCookies: The steps lead to a second floor comprised of more storage and a balcony overlooking the storage downstairs
(8:10:43 PM) ***Trefoil hops up the first few, "I'll lead the way."
(8:11:29 PM) ***Gizmo follows reluctantly, a scowl on his face.
(8:12:12 PM) ***Hospice is glad to follow in third.
(8:12:20 PM) ***Puzzler hears the sound of shouting and his ears perk up again. Giving the terminal a final glance, wondering about what mystery it could be holding. He turns watching Steel. Waiting for her to make her move.
(8:12:25 PM) ***Trefoil leads the way up onto the balcony and shelving
(8:12:38 PM) Trefoil: "Oh hey, more shelves....."
(8:13:13 PM) Chor left the room (quit: Quit: http://www.mibbit.com ajax IRC Client).
(8:13:36 PM) ***Steel_Innocence turns away from the terminal, disappointed, then follows the other ponies upstairs.
(8:13:39 PM) ***Trefoil wanders amongst them, in search of cool shit like guns and maps.
(8:14:03 PM) ***Gizmo does the same, hopefully finding a weapon more his forte than a tire iron.
(8:14:09 PM) ***Puzzler follows Steel closeby. Trying to not look towards the exit as he goes.
(8:14:25 PM) DontAskForCookies: Trefoil finds herself a crumpled box that contains... 12 empty water bottles?
(8:15:09 PM) ***Trefoil twirls her hoof in the air, "Woooo, empty water bottles."
(8:15:30 PM) DontAskForCookies: Gizmo finds... A large metal tool of some sort labled "Water pressure release wrench?"
(8:15:59 PM) ***Trefoil sticks them into her bags alongside the empty Sparkle Cola bottle with the general idea of someday making some bombs.
(8:16:22 PM) ***Gizmo picks up the wrench with slight stars in his eyes. "I-its beautiful!"
(8:16:31 PM) DontAskForCookies: lol
(8:17:24 PM) ***Violet is doing stuff on top of the APC.
(8:17:44 PM) ***Steel_Innocence looks for thingies too!
(8:17:46 PM) ***Trefoil sticks her head around the corner, "oooh, what'd you find?"
(8:18:20 PM) ***Hospice finds nothing. Fail.
(8:18:48 PM) ***Puzzler notcies everypony else scavenging and starts milling about aswell. Staying close to Steel.
(8:19:53 PM) Trefoil: "Oh yeah, Wings, you get that computer unlocked?"
(8:20:34 PM) ***Gizmo smiles at his new toy, swinging it slightly away from everypony
(8:20:35 PM) ***Puzzler sighs. Looking anoyed and ashamed at the same time. "N-no.. It locked me out aswell."
(8:20:55 PM) Trefoil: "Well damn.  Doc, you know anything about computers?"
(8:21:29 PM) ***Gizmo smiles as he looks to Trefoil. "Mpfh mpfh hrmpg" he says with his mouth full
(8:21:56 PM) ***Trefoil is running out of options and suddenly very curious about that computer.  She smiles at Gizmo, "What's that Giz?  Lassie's stuck in a well?"
(8:22:22 PM) ***Gizmo spits out his wrench and chuckles. "No i said, I'll try it again."
(8:24:19 PM) Trefoil: "Go for it dude, it's either that or I smash some keys myself."
(8:24:31 PM) ***Gizmo trots up the computer and fails out of the computer, falling back softly and sighing. "On second thought, maybe some other pony should try."
(8:26:13 PM) ***Puzzler atempts to hack the terminal once again. Doing so casuing a major distruption in the entire system. It shuts down on him. "B-but.. I-I don't understand.." He sits down infront of the terminal. Feeling utterly destroyed. This was suposed to be the thing he was good at. And now when it was put to the test he failed completely.
(8:27:00 PM) DontAskForCookies: with the final attempt a failure the computer locks down completely, completly blocking out all further input
(8:27:52 PM) ***Trefoil shakes her head, "Nah worries guys, I'm sure it wasn't important.  After all, what shit here was?"
(8:28:26 PM) ***Steel_Innocence looks at the lighty box go all grumpy and unworky and gets a little sad, but then she looks at how sad Puzzler is too. She goes up to him and hugs him, petting his mane. "Don't worry, we can find a good lighty box."
(8:28:29 PM) ***Hospice replied. "Absolutely nothing. Just as expected. On the plus side, there were no mines or killer turrets."
(8:29:06 PM) ***Gizmo grabs his new Wrench and smiles as he slams it down on the computer, effectivly cracking the screen and hurting himself by electricution in the process.
(8:29:30 PM) Trefoil: "Which is definitely a pl-"
(8:29:41 PM) ***Puzzler tenses up at the hug. Not being used to  it. Then relaxes and returns it. "I'd like that very much Steel. He mumbles under his breath. Being hugged his nice.
(8:29:47 PM) Gizmo: "I-I've heard of shock value b-but this is ridiculous." He says before passing out
(8:30:08 PM) ***Trefoil is showered with a few stray sparks and glass, "Luna fuck me with her horn, damnit!"
(8:30:32 PM) Trefoil: "Doc!"
(8:31:04 PM) ***Hospice turned toward Trefoil. "What is i-" She finally noticed Gizmo. "Oh. Oh dear. Um...yes. Oh dear."
(8:31:19 PM) ***Puzzler lets out a yelp at the sudden explosion in the room. Hugging Steel even closer.
(8:32:01 PM) ***Trefoil backs Puzzler and Steel out of the room, "Give'er room to work!"
(8:32:10 PM) Trefoil: "Need any help?"
(8:32:39 PM) ***Trefoil she asks the whiney doctor
(8:33:16 PM) ***Hospice only at that point realized that she was expected to do something. "Help? W-wait? I'm supposed to look at him? Why not anot-" Oh. She was the only doctor. She just realized. "Oh. I see. Um...alright."
(8:33:18 PM) ***Steel_Innocence turns her head to see Gizmo fallen. "Come with me." She guides Puzzler away.
(8:34:02 PM) ***Puzzler follows Steel out of the room. Still shaken, it happened so quick! And during a hug too.
(8:34:10 PM) ***Gizmo s eyes flutter as he looks around, his mane jutted out. "Cupholders." He mutters
(8:35:06 PM) ***Trefoil is leaning over Gizmo, not really giving him room herself, "He lives!"
(8:35:51 PM) Trefoil: "I think?"
(8:35:52 PM) ***Hospice had no clue if Gizmo would be alright. At the same time, she didn't want to actually have to do any medical work. "Uh...he looks like he'll be fine. Totally. He'll get better with uh...rest and stuff."
(8:36:11 PM) Gizmo: "Was the line worth it?" He asks, still quite [i]shocked[/i]
(8:36:30 PM) ***Trefoil gives Hospice a look ofincredulity, "Uh.... huh..."
(8:36:40 PM) ***Trefoil snickers, "Sorta?  Need a hoof up?"
(8:37:07 PM) ***Steel_Innocence looks back, still holding Puzzler. "See, it's fine."
(8:38:49 PM) ***Puzzler looks into the room again. Shaking slightly. Then releases himself from the hug. Giving Steel a slight smile. "Thanks Steel." he says, looking down to the ground.
(8:39:11 PM) ***Gizmo reaches for her hoof and grabs it, no shock or anything happens. "I think i need Steel. My mane is a mess."
(8:39:58 PM) ***Trefoil 's grin widens, "Tell'er and I'm sure she'll help.  Okay everypony, I think we're finished here.  Back to the APC!"
(8:40:08 PM) Steel_Innocence: "Ooh, ooh." She more than quickly pulls the brushie from her bag and trots to Gizmo.
(8:40:24 PM) ***Hospice trots back to the APC, avoiding contact with Gizmo, worrying about the possible effects of electricity on her hair.
(8:40:30 PM) ***Gizmo shakes his head to Steel. "When we get back in the APC k, sweetie?"
(8:40:45 PM) ***Trefoil nudges Steel's flank, "Not now kid, let's get back to Vi."
(8:40:57 PM) Steel_Innocence: "Oh, okay."
(8:41:06 PM) ***Puzzler waits in the hallway for a minute, not wanting to go out first. He follows the other ponies back to the APC. Keeping his eyes locked firmly to the ground.
(8:41:27 PM) ***Trefoil leads the group back out of the building, like a boss.
(8:41:45 PM) ***Gizmo follows Trefoil before getting in the APC, quickly in the drivers seat. "We going or what?"
(8:42:24 PM) ***Violet eeps and clambers down the other side of the APC, the pink of her face turning a slightly redder shade.
(8:42:33 PM) ***Trefoil makes sure everypony is onboard, "Previous course I guess Giz. Oh hey Viiiii~"
(8:43:05 PM) ***Puzzler quickly takes his usual seat in the APC, figets nervously for a second before taking his notebook and starts writing in it.
(8:43:09 PM) ***Trefoil sniffs the air as she prepares to retake her position in the hatch.  The older mare smirks, "I see somepony had fun."
(8:44:01 PM) ***Gizmo looks back at Trefoil. "What do you mean?"
(8:44:05 PM) ***Steel_Innocence follows into the car. She pushes herself into the small door, getting inside less than graccefully.
(8:44:08 PM) ***Violet frowns and tries to sneak back to the co-driver's seat. She smells slightly of...jasmine?
(8:44:30 PM) Trefoil: "I dunno, like, back the way we were going up that mountain?"
(8:44:34 PM) Trefoil: "Towards the beacon?"
(8:44:48 PM) DontAskForCookies: As the door slides shut on the APC and the group resumes their treck the squat building fades behind them, still holding stubornly onto its few remaining secrets. Before them lies the twisted path up the side of the ravine to the sorce of the broadcast...
(8:45:24 PM) ***Gizmo starts driving back towards the beacon. "I wish we could have cracked tha computer. Oh wait, i did." He chuckles
(8:46:00 PM) ***Violet is pedaling and trying not to look at anypony else in the eye
(8:46:37 PM) Trefoil: "yes yes, you are truly a master of puns."
(8:46:49 PM) ***Hospice is trying to stifle her laughter and failing at it.
(8:46:53 PM) ***Trefoil sniffs the clean, fresh, jasmine scented air of the roof.
(8:47:40 PM) ***Gizmo sniff the air and sees Violet isnt looking anypony in the eyes. "Violet... what did you do while we were gone?"
(8:47:56 PM) ***Violet grumbles "Stuff."
(8:48:05 PM) ***Trefoil laughs
(8:48:29 PM) DontAskForCookies: Soon the group is climing the steep incline and climbing the ravine, following the snakeing path across the rocking landscape. Roughly a few hours later a tall structure begins to come into focus. It is mid-day before the group pulls over the top of the hill and starts downwards towards the base of a large broadcast tower.
(8:48:30 PM) ***Gizmo smirks. "What kinda stuff?"
(8:49:12 PM) ***Puzzler finishes scribbeling in his notebook  and returns to looking shaken. He starts preening again. Trying to relax. His mind is racing though, not sure if he should thouch more of the wasteland tech. Things just seem to go bad when he does.
(8:49:17 PM) Violet: "...fun stuff?"
(8:50:07 PM) ***Gizmo keeps driving down the path, not noticing anything. "Oh really?" He blushes and trys to stop his smiling
(8:51:07 PM) ***Trefoil holds her tongue until..... her eyes go wide, and her jaw all but audibly drops against the roof.  That.... that antenna.....
(8:51:20 PM) ***Trefoil So big.... so... /powerful/.
(8:51:51 PM) Violet: "Oh look a flash what was that?"
(8:52:02 PM) ***Violet is grateful for the change of topic
(8:52:19 PM) Hospice: "I didn't see a flash."
(8:52:29 PM) Gizmo: "What flash?"
(8:52:31 PM) Hospice: "Anyways, back to the original topic at hand..."
(8:52:42 PM) ***Trefoil spots the same thing, "No idea Vi, but it was back down the mountain...."
(8:52:52 PM) ***Puzzler looks up from his preening. Looks outside for a breif second, not really seeing anything.
(8:53:13 PM) Trefoil: "Past that last big bend in the road."
(8:53:34 PM) ***Violet nods "looks like."
(8:55:10 PM) Trefoil: "....let's keep going."
(8:55:42 PM) ***Trefoil links her lips, eyes flicking towards the broadcast tower, "It's probably a signal or something to an ambush party up ahead...."
(8:56:05 PM) ***Gizmo smiles as he heads towards the radio station, looking up at the antenna. "O-oh my..." he says as he blushes
(8:56:24 PM) ***Violet slips her pistol out of it holster and lays it in her lap
(8:57:49 PM) ***Trefoil stays up in the hatch, though she does shift her hind legs around.  Anypony near enough has to roll to dodge her tail's twitching.
(8:58:21 PM) ***Steel_Innocence looks at the tower. "Wow, the outside has big things!"
(8:59:25 PM) Trefoil: "Sure does kid!  Ohhh I can only manage what you can do with some serious power pumping through that baby...."
(9:00:09 PM) ***Gizmo trys to hide his blush from Trefoil. "Q-quiet Tre! I might need to knock you off of there!"
(9:00:15 PM) ***Puzzler dosn't dodge quick enough as he sits there preening. Get's Trefoils tail brushing his face wakes him up from his own thoughts. Looking outside he finaly notices teh broadcast tower.
(9:00:15 PM) DontAskForCookies: The APC continues along the curving path, eventually makeing its way to a large dirt parking area that looks to have not been used in years. A path winds up to the entrance to the tower, a sign nearby reads "MASEBT #17"
(9:01:35 PM) ***Trefoil reverently repeats, "MASEBT.... I don't know who you are but I want to bear your foals...."
(9:01:37 PM) ***Steel_Innocence looks around confused. "Huh? What baby?"
(9:02:01 PM) ***Violet cocks an eyebrow at Trefoil
(9:02:05 PM) Steel_Innocence: "Foals?"
(9:02:17 PM) ***Hospice blushed at the thought of foals. "...what?"
(9:02:18 PM) ***Trefoil nods dreamily, "Yes...."
(9:02:20 PM) ***Gizmo suddenly stops the APC and pushes Trefoil out of the hatch and onto the ground
(9:02:33 PM) Gizmo: "I said stop!" His whole face is beat red.
(9:02:35 PM) DontAskForCookies: The Tower is at least 6 stories tall, has a base of cement and a large steel structure at the top tipped with a large dish.
(9:02:45 PM) ***Trefoil flys forward over the nose of the APC, like a unicorn being thrown forward by momentum when the asshole driver stops dead
(9:02:46 PM) ***Violet stops pedaling and looks out after Gizmo
(9:02:47 PM) Trefoil: "Aw fuck!"
(9:03:13 PM) ***Steel_Innocence looks through the windows of the car. "Where are foals?"
(9:03:13 PM) ***Violet eeps and reholsters her weapon, clambering out of her seat and going to check on Trefoil
(9:03:24 PM) ***Puzzler sits in his seat, quietly. From his luck entering a building before he is not really looking forward to entering another one.
(9:03:46 PM) ***Hospice prepares herself to power through the gap between the building and APC.
(9:03:54 PM) ***Gizmo sighes and gets out of the vehicle. "Now, i used to work some radio's before the Overmare took them away, i think i should go in."
(9:04:21 PM) ***Trefoil luckily slip over the windshield, since she's presenting herself to anypony who happens to be looking.
(9:04:26 PM) Trefoil: "Blurgh..."
(9:04:41 PM) ***Trefoil answers adroitly, her head resting against a large rock.
(9:04:55 PM) ***Violet gets an eyeful. so does not mind this. she goes to help Tre up anyways
(9:05:15 PM) ***Hospice got more than an eyeful, though it engendered no response from her.
(9:05:22 PM) ***Gizmo blushes as he gets an eyeful as well. "S-sorry." He apologizes
(9:05:42 PM) ***Steel_Innocence pops through the hatch, glancing all around for the foals.
(9:05:52 PM) ***Puzzler leaves the APC aswell, gaze looked firmly to the ground. Not wanting to panic again he just stands there waiting for a directive. Trying to focus on breathing.
(9:06:05 PM) ***Trefoil flops over on her side, shaking her head, "Owwwwww."
(9:06:11 PM) Trefoil: "Fuck yoooou Gizmo."
(9:06:49 PM) ***Violet can't help but chuckle, giving Tre a peck on her horn "You kind of asked for it." She offers her hoof to Tre "Up you come now."
(9:06:57 PM) ***Gizmo looks down. "S-sorry, i warned you though."
(9:07:29 PM) ***Trefoil gets to her legs, still shaking from the impact.  She sighs and gives Violet a nuzzle, "Thanks kiddo.... and forgive me!  I was only president of the Stable 22 Radio Relay League for four years!"
(9:07:48 PM) ***Hospice snorted. "..they had clubs for things like that?"
(9:08:13 PM) ***Trefoil sticks her tongue out at Hospice, "Sure did!  I can send thirty words per min-"
(9:08:16 PM) Trefoil: "MY WHISKEY!"
(9:08:36 PM) ***Trefoil frantically opens her grenade pouch to check on her precious, precious bottle.
(9:08:46 PM) ***Gizmo scoffs. "Yeah and you're looking at the pony who calibrated all those for you Tre."
(9:09:05 PM) ***Violet facehoofs and just wanders off over to Gizmo "And how about you? Are you going to be okay or did all the blood rush to your...extremities at tre's teasing?"
(9:09:37 PM) ***Hospice smirked. "You know, I could even take a look at it..."
(9:09:41 PM) ***Trefoil gasps in relief.  The scotch bottle is perfectly safe between the two grenades and the empties.
(9:09:55 PM) Hospice: "You know, a routine medical check-up..."
(9:10:08 PM) ***Gizmo turns bright red at the teasing. "W-what are you all talking about!?" He says very awkwardly
(9:10:22 PM) ***Steel_Innocence circles the car repeatedly, glancing left and right and all around.
(9:10:28 PM) Trefoil: "Sweet loving Celestia yessssssssssss!"
(9:10:47 PM) ***Violet gets a sly grin and bats her eyelashes "Oh nooooothing!~"
(9:10:53 PM) ***Hospice was not qualified to give any kind of medical check-up, especially because she had flunked that section of anatomy severla times.
(9:11:31 PM) ***Trefoil prances about happily, "Best day!  Whiskey's safe, giant fucking antenna, annnnd I got more severe head trauma!"
(9:11:48 PM) ***Puzzler is blushing fiercly at the things being implied. Not being used to such things. In an atempt to distract himself he looks towards the broadcasting tower instead.
(9:11:54 PM) ***Gizmo focuses his attention on Trefoil. "The head trauma's a good thing?"
(9:12:05 PM) ***Trefoil shakes her flank victoriously at Gizmo and Violet, "Who built their own set /and/ maintained it?  /This mare/."
(9:12:33 PM) Trefoil: "Steeeel, what're you looking for?"
(9:12:47 PM) ***Gizmo looks away as his blush stays. "Yeah, i did too. It's not like its that hard."
(9:13:16 PM) Trefoil: "Yeah yeah smart guy."
(9:13:24 PM) ***Violet counter-flank-wiggles
(9:13:37 PM) ***Trefoil stops her flank shaking long enough to follow her larger comrade around the APC, "Steel?"
(9:13:45 PM) Gizmo: "Dont make me hit you with my wrench."
(9:13:48 PM) DontAskForCookies left the room.

(9:14:15 PM) ***Violet smirks "Oh, would you?"
(9:14:55 PM) ***Trefoil shakes her head, "Not today thank you, more important things.  Giant tower.  Supplies."
(9:15:03 PM) ***Gizmo smirks as well as he pulls out his wrench. "Dont tempt me."
(9:15:07 PM) Trefoil: "Possibly bodies.... we should get moving."
(9:15:29 PM) ***Trefoil sticks a leg out at about chest height to try and get Steel_Innocence's attention
(9:15:45 PM) Steel_Innocence: "Yes?" She is still glancing around.
(9:16:10 PM) Trefoil: "Come'on kiddo, we're gonna go look for our ponies."
(9:16:13 PM) ***Violet moves off a way, looking up at where they're heading
(9:16:48 PM) ***Trefoil looks up at the tower again, tracing the path up, "Okay.... plan of attack.... is.... this really blows."
(9:17:30 PM) ***Steel_Innocence nods to Trefoil. "Where are they?"
(9:18:11 PM) ***Gizmo answers that. "Up at the top."
(9:18:21 PM) ***Trefoil clenches her eyes shut for a moment after starring at the sky too long, "Er, I mean, I'll stay in front.  Vi or Steel with me and the other at the back.  Everypony else figure it out yourself."
(9:18:32 PM) ***Trefoil nods in agreement, "What Gizmo said.  Up there."
(9:18:48 PM) Violet: "I've got the only pistol...I'll stay up front..."
(9:18:58 PM) ***Hospice didn't need to be told how to stay in the back.
(9:19:17 PM) ***Gizmo stays behind Violet, his wrench out.
(9:19:50 PM) Trefoil: "Okay then, onward and upward."
(9:20:18 PM) ***Puzzler follows the rest of the group. Lettings out a sigh as he notices how far it acctualy is to go. Keeping himself trotting alongside Steel going up the slope he keeps his eyes to the ground as much as possible. Looking at the rest as they get their weapons out he winces again, shrinking back. He only have his hoofs to fight with should it come to that.
(9:20:39 PM) ***Trefoil keeps twitching her tail back and forth as she starts up the trail, "I hope everypony brought some water?"
(9:20:57 PM) ***Gizmo deadpans. "Nope, only cola."
(9:21:13 PM) Trefoil: "Sweet."
(9:21:52 PM) ***Violet pulls out a snack cake and wolfs it down "Just remembered I never ate breakfast" She says, spraying crumbs everywhere.
(9:22:13 PM) ***Puzzler flexes his wings slightly. Starting to feel tears forming, but holds them back. What a sad excuse for a Pegasus he was, couln't even fly properly.
(9:22:16 PM) ***Hospice frowned at Violet's messy eating pattern.
(9:24:35 PM) ***Gizmo notices Puzzler's pained expression. "Something wrong?" He asks kindly.
(9:24:35 PM) ***Trefoil mixed some Scotch in one of the water bottles she filled from the cooler, and sips from the bottle with TK
(9:24:49 PM) Trefoil: "Mmbl?"
(9:25:06 PM) ***Steel_Innocence trots up, looking around every now and then, to find ponies. She sees Puzzler's sadness and gets closer. "I think this place must have a really nice lighty box." She smiles to him.
(9:25:14 PM) ***Trefoil swallows and asks without looking back, "We got somepony ill?"
(9:26:26 PM) ***Trefoil slows her pace
(9:27:14 PM) ***Puzzler flaps his wings twice, tearing up again "I- I'should be able to-" He dosn't finish his sentence as it is interupted by Steel. Glad to change the subject he turns to her instead. "I hope it does" he says.
(9:27:22 PM) DontAskForCookies: The light sound of the pitter patter of short stubby legs scarping against the dirt can be just barely be heard over the conversation comeing from down below at the base of the path
(9:27:53 PM) Violet: "We got company."
(9:27:57 PM) Trefoil: "Agreed."
(9:28:07 PM) Steel_Innocence: "Yay!"
(9:28:16 PM) Hospice: "....shit."
(9:28:17 PM) ***Trefoil unhooks her cattle prod, "No yay Steel."
(9:28:29 PM) ***Trefoil wonders if it's their friends with the lights.
(9:28:37 PM) ***Violet pulls out her pistol
(9:28:41 PM) ***Gizmo sees the cattle prod and shivers as he backs up.
(9:28:44 PM) Steel_Innocence: "Uh?" She looks to the source of the noise.
(9:28:56 PM) ***Gizmo quickly readies his wrench however
(9:29:23 PM) ***Puzzler hates the wasteland even more. Ducks down looking nervously at the surrouding area. "I should have stayed in the APC.." He says, frigthened.
(9:29:43 PM) Trefoil: "Then you'd be down there with'em."
(9:29:48 PM) DontAskForCookies: Clambering up the path after the characters are a small collection of large pinkish creatures with oversized teeth and squinty eyes
(9:29:49 PM) Trefoil: "Here you got us between you and them."
(9:31:44 PM) ***Gizmo looks back at the creatures. "W-what is that?!"
(9:32:38 PM) ***Trefoil floats her cattle prod in front of her, "Fuck if I know.  Looks like a giant rat thingy."
(9:34:42 PM) ***Puzzler looks back down the road. Not feeling to well about being completely unarmed. He moves to set some more distance inbetween himself and the noices.
(9:39:32 PM) ***Violet shudders at the creatures, and since her EFS listed them as hostile, takes aim with her pistol squeezing off a few shots at the lead rat
(9:45:57 PM) DontAskForCookies: The first shot misses but the second slams into the small pink creaturer and it crys out in pain
(9:50:21 PM) ***Hospice notices that the creatures don't really notice her yet. Hoping to take advantage of that, Hospice slides down the side of the incline and wildly stabs at the nearest rat with her scalpel.
(9:58:47 PM) Steel_Innocence left the room (quit: Quit: Saindo).
(9:59:09 PM) LuckyLeaf [[email protected]] entered the room.
(9:59:27 PM) DontAskForCookies: Swinging wildely the medical pony mostly misses but dose land one impressive blow before her weapon snaps like a twig into the creature
(9:59:31 PM) LuckyLeaf is now known as Steel_Innocence
(9:59:50 PM) ***Trefoil gives a shout when the cowardly doctor jumps off the fucking cliff at the rat things.  Being responsible for her, and well the entire group's, safety Trefoil can only shout "YEEEEEEEEEARGH!" and jump after her with a cattle prod held high.

(10:10:12 PM) DontAskForCookie: The first mole-rat gos down with a squeek as the cattle prod comes crashing down on its head
(10:11:22 PM) DontAskForCookie: A wild swing at a second creature however smashes the prod into a rock. A loud crackling pop echos from the prod as its electric feild shuts down.
(10:12:19 PM) ***Trefoil curses.  She thought her lusty battle cries would've made up for her utter lack of experience with clubs.
(10:14:49 PM) DontAskForCookie: The vermin that Trefoil had missed presses his attack on the pony, never landing a blow but keeping him pined to the wall and on his hooves. The two other mosters rush up the slope as yet another creature appears on the ledge above.
(10:20:00 PM) ***Steel_Innocence whispers "Sorry pinky things..." She steps ahead, yelling. "Stand back!" rushing towards the aproaching molerat. Standing on her hooves, she drops one after another on it.
(10:23:25 PM) DontAskForCookie: The first stomp misses the beast but the second comes thundering down, sending the creature spiraling of to the side. Its chest still heaved up and down but for now it is quite well and good out of the fight.
(10:23:46 PM) ***Puzzler drops down to the ground. Hoofs over his head. Not having a weapon or the skill to use it he cowerdly curls up. Thinking about how stupid he was not taking more from that storage back at the Stable.
(10:28:14 PM) ***Violet stops tracking the lead rat when she sees Steel beat it like a drum. she switches to the one behind it, squeezing off a few more rounds
(10:29:06 PM) Arcane_Eating[A] is now known as Arcane_Scroll
(10:29:17 PM) ***Trefoil cheers the sound of Violet's shots as she fends off the remaining rat.  Of course that also means she's expending ammo....
(10:29:34 PM) DontAskForCookie: One shot after another crack out and spatter into the charging beast, only the last missing as it falls dead and slides to a stop.
(10:30:44 PM) ***Hospice is shocked when Trefoil actually manages to take out a rat. Most of her wanted her to immediately run away having seen this one rat go down, but she was somewhat hesitant to abandon Trefoil. She slid a bit and seeing no real weapons, let her magic guide a flurry of poorly aimed blows against the molerat.
(10:33:50 PM) DontAskForCookie: pummbled under a flurry of wild blows the creature falls unconcious
(10:38:27 PM) ***Trefoil grins wildly at Hospice as the doctor unexpectedly beats the living hell out of the rat attacking her, "Good one Doc!  Remind me to get you a drink!"
(10:39:53 PM) Trefoil: "Not done yet though, come'on!"
(10:40:24 PM) ***Trefoil gestures with her floating dead cattle prod and takes off at a run.  She gestures again for Steel and Vi to follow her.
(10:42:59 PM) ***Trefoil makes sure Giz stays to protect the cowering Pegasus and chugs on like only a slightly intoxicated madmare can.
(10:44:47 PM) DontAskForCookie: Awaiting Trefoil at the top of the ridge before the entrance to the tower is the last of the vermin. It quickly closes teh distance and begins its attack!
(10:45:36 PM) DontAskForCookie: Thankfully the pink ball of fury miss times its assault and misses horribly
(10:46:15 PM) ***Trefoil prances back out of the way.
(10:49:36 PM) Puzzler left the room (quit: Connection closed).
(10:49:50 PM) Pantzar [[email protected]] entered the room.
(10:49:59 PM) Pantzar is now known as Puzzler
(10:55:19 PM) ***Steel_Innocence runs uphill after Trefoil and tackles the last pinky thing, a silent plead in her eyes.
(10:55:56 PM) ***Steel_Innocence falls flat on the dirt;

(10:56:37 PM) ***Puzzler does not take the combat very well. Starts breathing heavily and flops on his side. The gunfire, screams and violence does not help and soon the breathing has turned into a fullblown dyspnea. The corners of his eyes starts to go dark as he just thinks about flying away from all the commotion going on around him. If he had a weapon to defend himself with them maybe he could fight these panic attacks a little better.

(11:02:00 PM) ***Violet charges up the hill taking aim at the rat creature thingy at the top and firing a shot
(11:03:46 PM) DontAskForCookie: Violets cracker-jack shot lands home as the beast cries out in pain
(11:12:29 PM) ***Hospice charges up to the hill as well, rapidly trying to sissy-slap the mole-rats.
(11:12:41 PM) Violet: brb a minute
(11:13:36 PM) DontAskForCookie: Each whipy attack swings wilder than the last, leaving the moe rat untouched
(11:16:47 PM) ***Trefoil dodges away from Hospice's flailing attacks, her horn glowing as she sidesteps to get a clear backstop on the remaining mole rat, "Everypony watch out!"
(11:17:19 PM) ***Trefoil let's fly with two blasts straight at the moleish rat
(11:18:28 PM) DontAskForCookie: roll damage
(11:18:39 PM) DontAskForCookie: I belive they are auto-hits at this range
(11:18:43 PM) DontAskForCookie: unless I am mistaken

(11:18:58 PM) ***DontAskForCookie ((shit, wrong place...))
(11:19:02 PM) Trefoil: (Already done in the Dice channel Cookies)
(11:19:25 PM) ***DontAskForCookie ((damn narrator butchering his job, lol ))
(11:20:39 PM) DontAskForCookie: with a the large wave of energy slaming the pink vermin against the cement wall of the tower with a crack, the combat is over. The last enemy slumping to the dirt in a mess of blood
(11:23:07 PM) ***Puzzler still on his side, trouble breathing, in a state of panic. His eyes darting back and forth.
(11:23:47 PM) ***Steel_Innocence slowly get up, staring with teary eyes at the pinky thing over the pool of blood. She takes a deep breath and walks back to Puzzler.
(11:23:59 PM) ***Trefoil stands panting, facing the blown away mole rat.
(11:24:25 PM) Trefoil: "Luna's ever loving fuck."
(11:24:44 PM) ***Violet promptly vomits.
(11:25:13 PM) Trefoil: "Is Puzzler okay?"
(11:25:19 PM) Steel_Innocence: "I-It's okay now." She puts a hoof over Puzzler's shoulder, with a wavering smile.
(11:25:22 PM) ***Hospice immediately heaved, "W-wow. Did I actually just do that?"
(11:25:35 PM) ***Trefoil looks around her at Hospice and Violet, "Vi...?"
(11:25:55 PM) Violet: "I...killed them..." She says weakly.
(11:26:03 PM) ***Trefoil gives Hospice a weak grin, "Yeah... you did in the one at the bottom."
(11:26:31 PM) ***Hospice shrugged. "Eh. It's not as if they were anypony..."
(11:26:35 PM) ***Puzzler reacts to the touch. Letting out a scream of terror! Kicking and beating against Steel in a state of panic.
(11:26:45 PM) ***Trefoil sighs, "Don't tell Steel that."
(11:27:03 PM) ***Trefoil moves over to check on her filly friend, "Violet?  Are you alright?"
(11:27:51 PM) ***Violet is just weakly repeating 'I killed them...I killed them...I kille-" over and over while her pistol lays in a puddle of her own vomit.
(11:27:55 PM) ***Hospice shrugged. She wasn't very good at killing things, but it didn't seem to bother her. Then again, she had seen ponies die.
(11:28:17 PM) ***Puzzler suddenly realises who it is and what he was doing he just curls up again, crying. Hating the wasteland, hating being so useless. "I-I-I'm sorry.." He wails.
(11:29:21 PM) ***Trefoil rubs her back with a leg, "Easy, easy kiddo."
(11:29:37 PM) ***Trefoil picks the pistol up with her TK and shakes it off.
(11:30:07 PM) ***Violet leans against Trefoil, falling silent.
(11:30:21 PM) ***Steel_Innocence takes a step back, surprised by the flailing Puzzler. Then she moves closer to hold him as he cries. "No, I'm sorry. You are a good pony..."
(11:30:49 PM) ***Hospice looked around awkwardly. She didn't want to say anything. Part of her felt good to see ponies that had otherwise adapted to life outside the stable better than her in almost every single way finally not adapt better in a way. Another part of her was very uncomfortable with that notion.
(11:32:14 PM) ***Trefoil looks over at Hospice, nonplussed, "Hey, Doc, wanna go check the door to the tower?"
(11:32:30 PM) ***Hospice was surprised. "Oh! Um...sure!"
(11:32:34 PM) ***Puzzler cries out in Steels embrace, hugging the her with all the power he can muster as if letting go would hurt him somehow. Calming down noticably he says weakly over a stuttering breath.. "I really hope that place as a shiny terminal.."
(11:33:26 PM) ***Trefoil looks over and down at the two ponies crying below, "Come up and see then!  It's all clear!"
(11:33:53 PM) ***Trefoil continues to rub Violet's neck
(11:34:20 PM) ***Steel_Innocence rubs her tears with a hoof and nods. "Let's go..."
(11:34:27 PM) ***Violet closes her eyes, relaxing as Tre comforts her.
(11:35:37 PM) ***Trefoil wants to get everypony up here to check out the tower as quick as possible before they fell all the way to pieces.
(11:35:40 PM) ***Hospice continued looking around awkwardly. Perhaps it wouldn't be a very good time to hint about this, but those rats were potential food. Hospice stayed sitting in thought, wondering how to convince the others to agree to this.
(11:35:57 PM) ***Puzzler looks up at Steel. Still reluctant at letting go, but does so eventually. Still shaking slightly. "L-Let's go Steel." He says.
(11:36:02 PM) Trefoil: "Doc!  Wake up!"
(11:36:11 PM) ***Trefoil thumps her hooves.
(11:36:18 PM) ***Hospice turned toward Trefoil. "Y-yes?"
(11:36:36 PM) Trefoil: "We're moving.  We'll take care of these things later."
(11:37:04 PM) ***Puzzler starts moving up the slope towards teh rest of the group.
(11:37:08 PM) Hospice: "W-wait. Before we go um...well...we were running kind of short-ish on food and you know..."
(11:37:20 PM) ***Trefoil shushes her and nods.
(11:37:34 PM) ***Steel_Innocence goes along with Puzzler to the tower entrance.
(11:37:37 PM) DontAskForCookie: The entrance to the tower is located a few meters into the side of the construct. Very little light makes it into the cement structure, but the flickering green light from a terminal near the locked door gives enough light to illuminate the chalk writing on the steel door. "Who is the overmare?"
(11:37:49 PM) ***Hospice really didn't understand why she was shushed but continued on.
(11:40:00 PM) ***Trefoil stares at the writing, "Wings!  You feeling better?"
(11:40:02 PM) ***Steel_Innocence points the lighty box to Puzzler. She smiles, but stays silent.
(11:40:54 PM) Trefoil: "We got a computer that needs hacking!"
(11:41:13 PM) ***Trefoil makes sure her radio is set to the code channel.
(11:41:18 PM) ***Puzzler "Y-yeah." He says, giving Steel a slight smile. Sees the computer and moves up to it. Not going to fail everypony this time
(11:42:54 PM) ***Trefoil steps aside, to give him better access to it.  She mouths the words 'Who is the Overmare?' to herself again.  Holstering her broken cattle prod, she twitches her head for Hospice to join her off to the side.
(11:43:12 PM) ***Violet takes hier pistol, reloads it, holsters it, and walks off away from everypony else, sitting with her back against the wall.
(11:43:25 PM) ***Hospice stands confused for a little bit, but slinks off to follow Trefoil.
(11:43:58 PM) ***Puzzler starts hacking the computer. Acctualy understanding this one and can soon enter the system properly. Accessing the files.
(11:44:38 PM) ***Puzzler is acctualy smiling now, this is what he was good at. And is glad that he didn't let the group down this time.
(11:45:18 PM) DontAskForCookie: The computer soon reveals its secrets, its password the answer to the question on the door. Civil Order. the only comand avaible from the terminal is to open the steel doors.
(11:45:36 PM) ***Steel_Innocence 's smile widens as she sees Puzzler working on the lighty box and brightening.
(11:45:46 PM) ***Trefoil whispers to Hospice briefly before turning back towards the door.
(11:45:51 PM) Trefoil: "Good work Wings!"
(11:45:52 PM) ***Puzzler enters command > Open Doors, grinning from ear to ear.
(11:46:12 PM) ***Puzzler steps back. "Okay, opening the d-doors!"
(11:47:06 PM) DontAskForCookie: The doors raises into the celing, allowing the ponies access to the tower. the inside dimly lit by ambiant light from the door, a lightswitch is located just off to the side of the door.
(11:47:23 PM) ***Trefoil trots up to interpose herself between the open doors and the group.
(11:47:33 PM) ***Hospice steps off for a bit, seemingly starting on a task down closer towards the APC.
(11:47:56 PM) ***Trefoil flicks the light switch with TK
(11:48:37 PM) ***Puzzler moves back towards Steel, taking possison slightly behind her. Still not keeping his eyes of the ground as he moves around.
(11:49:01 PM) ***Steel_Innocence moves closer to the lighty box. "Does this lighty box do letter things, Puzzler?"
(11:49:14 PM) DontAskForCookie: The few working lights activate after a few stuborn moments of flickering, alluminatine a suprisingly well kept room. Beyond a layer of dust the place looks to have been cleaned up.
(11:50:12 PM) Hospice left the room (quit: Quit: ).
(11:50:14 PM) ***Trefoil walks carefully inside, looking about, "...somepony's been in here before.  Our ponies I guess...."
(11:50:26 PM) ***Puzzler "Letter thin- Oh, you mean mail.. " looks of to the side, then back  at Steel. "N-No, sorry Steel, it can't send letters."
(11:51:30 PM) ***Trefoil looks over at Puzzler quizzacly
(11:51:30 PM) DontAskForCookie: The tower seems to be mostly hollow, with steel scafolding and walkways leading up the tower to mutiple floors, on the main floor are a few desks, a large sack, a few crates, and a welcome sigh that seems to have been painted in grease on an old tarp
(11:52:08 PM) DontAskForCookie: A glowing terminal await on one of the desks
(11:52:20 PM) Trefoil: *quizzically
(11:52:37 PM) Trefoil: "Puzzler!  Another terminal!"
(11:53:26 PM) ***Steel_Innocence approaches the welcome sign and takes a better look at it.
(11:53:27 PM) ***Puzzler looks over at Trefoil. Spotting the terminal sitting on the desk. Starts moving towards it. "But maybe this one can.." He says to steel.
(11:53:58 PM) Trefoil: "Maybe kiddo!"
(11:54:02 PM) ***Trefoil goes to look at the crates
(11:54:20 PM) Trefoil: *crates and sack
(11:54:23 PM) DontAskForCookie: The computer is not in the best of repair, but seems to be working and suprisingly unlocked!
(11:54:53 PM) Trefoil: *Maybe, Wings!
(11:55:03 PM) DontAskForCookie: The crate contain... actually usefull supplies!
(11:55:12 PM) ***Puzzler stops infront of the terminal.. "Show me your secre- " Unlocked already, Puzzler is almost dissapointed at that, but starts checking the content.
(11:55:43 PM) DontAskForCookie: The computer hold mutiple audio files, all that seem to be dated to four years ago
(11:56:38 PM) ***Trefoil lights up and starts going through them.
(11:56:44 PM) ***Steel_Innocence follows Puzzler to the lighty box.
(11:56:58 PM) Trefoil: "ooooh~"
(11:57:00 PM) ***Puzzler flicks through the screens, looking for the oldest recording.
(11:57:32 PM) ***Puzzler starts the recording.
(11:59:02 PM) DontAskForCookie: The oldest recording begins to play..."This is Gurder, the leader of the repair ponies from stable 22.. and I have just spent my first day outside the stable. We wanted to go straight for 23, but we had to detour over the other side of the valley, the bridge was out and this seemed like the safest way back onto the road"
(5/30/2012 12:00:01 AM) DontAskForCookie: "The security devision spoted this, their scouts dont miss a damn thing. Wish we had more time to clean it up but we need to rest and head out in the morning. If any pony from stable 22 has to... well come looking for us and finds this, know that we at least made it this far"
(12:00:11 AM) ***Puzzler continues to play the recordings in chronolgical order. Lissening intently to their message
(12:00:15 AM) DontAskForCookie: end of audio file, more remain to be listend to
(12:01:37 AM) DontAskForCookie: "Hey, this is Gurder again and im happy to report that we made it to 23! I still cant belive that we did it, we are bid damn heros! we have a lot to work to do clearing the bath to the road from hear and cleaning up, Ill update this later"
(12:01:46 AM) DontAskForCookie: end of audio file, next...
(12:02:35 AM) ***Steel_Innocence is filled with joy.
(12:03:10 AM) DontAskForCookie: "Wow it has been a lot of work but we have this place up and running, we plan on useing it as a way point to contact 22, this way we dont have to go the whole way. Just in case we have also placed a repeating message for those ventureing outside the stable so they can find us. Still have a lot of work ahead of us but Stable 23 isnt going to fix itself and we need to move!"
(12:04:15 AM) DontAskForCookie: "We are leaving in the morning, we made contact with the overmare and have got to get back to work. Its a shame she didnt let us deliver the packages from 23 to the stable. So many ponies had things they wanted to send, hell some ponies even wanted to come with us"
(12:05:28 AM) DontAskForCookie: "We are leaving for now, should be back in a few months to report back in. Shouldnt take more than a year to get Stable 23 patched up as good as new. going to leave the mail here in case the overmare chages her mind..."
(12:05:37 AM) DontAskForCookie: "Gurder, out for now. Will update later"
(12:05:41 AM) DontAskForCookie: end of final message
(12:06:08 AM) ***Puzzler is puzzled
(12:06:29 AM) ***Trefoil isn't really, after what the bitch said to them earlier.
(12:07:10 AM) DontAskForCookie: One final note remains on the computer, this one an writen document
(12:07:19 AM) ***Steel_Innocence blinks. "Is the place 23 okay, then?"
(12:07:29 AM) DontAskForCookie: ((Sort of forgot this one, lol))
(12:07:47 AM) ***Puzzler opens the final document. Frown on this face
(12:08:17 AM) DontAskForCookie: Travlers notes: Settlement of ponies located at cordinates XXX, the place is called Clover!
(12:08:20 AM) ***Puzzler starts reading it out loud for the others to hear.
(12:08:30 AM) ***Trefoil shakes her head and trots over to Steel, "No sweetie, it isn't.  We're halfway there."
(12:08:45 AM) ***Trefoil gives her friend a reassuring nuzzle.
(12:09:33 AM) DontAskForCookie: A large leather satchel rests beside the desk with the computer terminal...
(12:09:39 AM) ***Puzzler takes out his notebook and writes the final message down.
(12:10:25 AM) ***Steel_Innocence 's face shapes into a frown that grows into a determinate look. "We have to help them!"
(12:11:33 AM) Trefoil: "Yes we do.  But we can't make it all the way today."
(12:12:00 AM) ***Trefoil sighs, "We should sleep here tonight, with a guard on the APC."
(12:12:43 AM) ***Trefoil siddles over to the bag to take curatorial
(12:12:44 AM) ***Violet sighs, stepping inside "I'll guard the APC..."
(12:13:03 AM) Trefoil: *to the bag to take a look.
(12:14:03 AM) DontAskForCookie: The bag is heavy and rather lumpy, inside there seems to be a large collection of... letters and packages? All seem to be addresed from ponies in stable 23
(12:14:04 AM) Trefoil: "We can rotate thorugh Vi, ponies with radios."
(12:14:30 AM) ***Trefoil brightens up and immediately begins searching for anything labelled Steel_Innocence.
(12:15:19 AM) DontAskForCookie: After a little bit of looking Trefoil finds a small paperwrapped package with Steels name on it addressed from somepony named Steady Pulse
(12:15:45 AM) Violet: "Why don't two of us just sleep down there. Shouldn't need more than two watches."
(12:15:56 AM) ***Trefoil pulls the package out with her TK, "Hey Steeeeeel!"
(12:15:58 AM) ***Puzzler simply watches as Trefoil goes through the packages. His hype over the hacking of the door terminal is dying down. Finishing writing down  the message he simply sits down.
(12:16:21 AM) Trefoil: "That was my other suggestion Vi."
(12:16:54 AM) ***Trefoil holds the package out at the big mare and then dives back in looking for everypony else's names.
(12:17:44 AM) DontAskForCookie: None of the other ponies names seem to be on the letters from stable 23
(12:18:29 AM) ***Trefoil sighs and sets the mail sack back down, "Steel!  Letter!"
(12:19:11 AM) Steel_Innocence: "Yes, Trefoil?" She turns and sees the package, instantly glomping Trefoil. "Oh, thankyouthankyouthankyou!"
(12:19:51 AM) ***Trefoil is glomped by a mare many times her size, which is something of an experience, "Your.  Welcome.  Kid."
(12:20:10 AM) ***Steel_Innocence she bounces back and opens the package, her eyes sparkling while she pulls the paper.
(12:20:52 AM) Trefoil: *Yo're
(12:20:55 AM) Trefoil: **You're
(12:21:10 AM) DontAskForCookie: inside the package is a hoof written note and a small statuet of what looks like... Steel Innocence
(12:22:19 AM) ***Steel_Innocence takes a deep breath, trying to contain the excitement enough to read carefully what is written.
(12:24:18 AM) ***Trefoil takes several deep breaths, still watching the exciting letter reading she says aside to Violet, "You and me?  I have to send Hospice back up here, and have everypony bunker in here with Steel."
(12:24:41 AM) ***Violet nods "That's fine."
(12:26:16 AM) Trefoil: "Sounds like a plan.  What'd your friend have to say kid?"
(12:29:20 AM) Steel_Innocence: "He said they fixed a thing in 23 then they were going away and he wanted to go and they didn't let him and he was going to train."
(12:31:02 AM) DontAskForCookie: End of Session 2
(12:32:06 AM) Trefoil: "Well I bet he's waiting for you to get there, hm?  Okay Steel, Violet and I are gonna go watch the car; can you make sure everypony in here stays safe?"
