  1. [20:42] <~Desert_Eagle> Desert_Eagle and SunlightOctave this time emerge into the rather unimpressive basement of a building, a sign in front of them reading: Luna Needle R&D Department, Sublevel 3.
  2. [20:46] * SunlightOctave breathed in cool air...unnaturally cool. It was quiet. "Well...not what I was expecting. Where do we go?" A flash from her PipBuck, as it slowly downloaded the information for the area. "Wait, never mind. I'm the newbie here, you should show me where to go."
  3. [20:48] * Desert_Eagle nods. "Ayup. Welcome t' th' Luna Needle." He says, trotting over to a bank of elevators, punching the call button. The doors shunted open with a ding.
  4. [20:49] * SunlightOctave looks at the functional--functional --elevator open up. "Wait. This is...too easy. No surprises, at least I don't see any." She checks her EFS quickly.
  5. [20:50] <~Desert_Eagle> The EFS is clear save for Deagle, and 2 other friendly markers.
  6. [20:52] * SunlightOctave blinks, looking over almost accusingly. "I was somehow expecting needing to fight for our lives to get a thing. Who's the friendlies?"
  7. [20:52] * Desert_Eagle steps into the elevator, waving SunlightOctave in. "We cleared this buildin' out 'bout 5 years ago, save fer th' Stable full o' zombies several floors below. We've also gotten most o' th' systems workin' again. Th' friendlies 'r muh friends Scopes and Qindeo."
  8. [20:54] * SunlightOctave trots into the elevator, which was...brightly lit. Not as bright as the sun she had been exposed to a few minutes earlier, but definitely light creating. A myriad of multiple buttons on the sides of the elevator were all temporarily dark, with a small display panel indicating the current floor level on the side in a small rectangle. "Huh. One battle saddle, coming right up?"
  9. [20:55] <~Desert_Eagle> "Ayup." He hits the button marked G, and the doors shunt closed, and the elevator starts upwords.
  10. [20:56] * SunlightOctave feels the elevator slowly rise to their destination--or so she hopes.
  11. [21:00] <~Desert_Eagle> The elevator dings again, coming to a stop, doors shunting open. Before them is a huge Atrium, windows runing up 10 stories above them, hallways circling around the outside. Immediately ahead of them is racks upon racks upon racks upon racks of ammunition. More friendly markers dot the EFS, denoting ponies browsing the selection of ammo. "And this is Desert Eagle's Ammo Emporium & Mercenary Services.
  12. [21:00] <~Desert_Eagle> "*
  13. [21:03] * SunlightOctave whistles slightly. "Whoo. Nice looking pieces. And in such good condition too. I had to...forage to find half-broken pieces of trash along the way to the Tavern. Had two things almost blow up in my muzzle. Twice." She trots forward, flanked by Desert_Eagle.
  14. [21:05] * Desert_Eagle chuckles. "Well, ah only sell th' highest quality merchandice, an' ah make all th' ammo muhself. Take a look around, whatever yah want's on th' house, 'less it's somethin' really fancy."
  15. [21:06] <~Desert_Eagle> "Ah'll get a battle saddle dug out fer yah while yah look."
  16. [21:09] * SunlightOctave mills about the shop, figuring that saddle mounted weaponry will be her best bet. True, it'll make her damn near useless at close range, but pegasi--especially Stable Dwellers--weren't about to allow themselves to get caught in close-quarters combat if they could avoid it.
  17. [21:12] * SunlightOctave ponders over the options. After a few moments of looking--and trying to avert her eyes from the things that made her brain go "How many bottlecaps?", she found a couple of items that made her smile. A Cowboy Repeater Rifle, and a Magical Energy Rifle. With her scientific mindset, it wouldn't be any time until she had found ways to tweak it to be the nastiest thing anypony had ever
  18. [21:12] * SunlightOctave seen. "I;ll take these."
  19. [21:13] * SunlightOctave acquires Cowboy Repeater Rifle
  20. [21:13] * SunlightOctave acquires Magical Energy Rifle
  21. [21:17] * Desert_Eagle comes trotting back, a battle saddle slung over his back. "Found whatcha want yet?"
  22. [21:18] * SunlightOctave nods, saying "Yes, I did." She holds both of the weapons up with her wings, ensuring the safeties are on. Knowing Stable systems, she didn't want to risk an accidental firing, which might have resulted in the activation of the security system inside and them all being killed in the midst of a simple transaction.
  23. [21:18] * Desert_Eagle didn't have anything fancy like that installed... yet.
  24. [21:19] * Desert_Eagle nods. "Allrighty, le's get yah fitted then."
  25. [21:19] * SunlightOctave doesn't know any better.
  26. [21:21] * Desert_Eagle leads SunlightOctave into one of the rooms off to the side, humming.
  27. [21:21] * SunlightOctave trots with her newly acquired weapons, smiling. She felt ready to take on....a couple of small radsquirrels.
  28. [21:23] * Desert_Eagle gets SunlightOctave fitted for the battle saddle, mounting the weapons on, and fitting on an auto-loader and unjammer.
  29. [21:25] * SunlightOctave has relaxed a little bit. She feels safe here, not worried about radiation sickness or anything else that could shorten her life unexpectedly. The saddle goes on her core softly, feeling wonderfully graceful around her wings and back. "Mmmm...like it was made just for me. So...quick explanation, how does this quite work?" She studied the saddle, feeling the weight of the rifles on the
  30. [21:25] * SunlightOctave sides of it and getting accustomed to the new load on her body.
  31. [21:26] * Desert_Eagle taps the bit trigger that sat in front of her mouth. "Yah bite down on that t' fire, an ah'd suggest usin' SATS fer aimin too."
  32. [21:28] * SunlightOctave grabs the bit trigger and puts it into her mouth, not pulling on it right away. "Mmm...doesn't taste as awful as that 10 mm you gave me earlier...just give me one second." She paused for a second, activating SATS. The room sprung to life in front of her eyes, showing her all that could have been seen.
  33. [21:29] <~Desert_Eagle> There's a table and 2 chairs. That's it.
  34. [21:30] * SunlightOctave nods, saying "Mmm. Okay, reloading, all that stuff...is, where on here?"
  35. [21:31] <~Desert_Eagle> "There's a lever back next to your left foreleg. Kick it back to reload, pull it forward to unjam."
  36. [21:32] * SunlightOctave nods, loading up both of her guns. "Mmm. Now that's a sound any mare or colt would like."
  37. [21:35] * Desert_Eagle nods. "Mhmm. Yah wanna go out an' test 'em a bit? Get used t' th' feel?"
  38. [21:38] * SunlightOctave whinnies contentedly. "Thought you'd never ask." Letting the trigger fall to her side, she folded in her wings and readied for the next destination on the trip.
  39. [21:42] * Desert_Eagle chuckles, holding the door open for SunlightOctave. "We'll head out t' Shadow Field ah think. I's an old pre-war REAF Base out west o' 'ere. Or we could head t' th' battleship in th' harbor."
  40. [21:46] * SunlightOctave says "Hmm...the field sounds good. Never been a huge fan of water. Wanna race?"
  41. [21:48] * Desert_Eagle chuckles. "Do ah wanna race? O' course!"
  42. [21:49] * SunlightOctave says "I feel...somewhat sporting. I'll even give you a headstart."
  43. [21:51] * Desert_Eagle chuckles. "Nah, you get the headstart." He says, trotting towards the main doors.
  44. [21:53] * SunlightOctave says "All right. Just don't be taking it easy on me because I'm a mare."
  45. [21:53] * Desert_Eagle rolls his eyes, though his Aviators hid that, opening the door for SunlightOctave. "Whenever you're ready."
  46. [21:55] * SunlightOctave says "Let's fly!" Flapping her wings, and closing her eyes, she bolted into the sky.
  47. [22:01] * Desert_Eagle chuckels, letting her get a good head start, before rocketing after her. SunlightOctave would fly peacefully for about a minute before being passed by a blur of grey, a black streak hanging in the air behind it.
  48. [22:05] * SunlightOctave feels a SWOOSH as she gets blasted by. "What in the....damnit! He's so fast!" She flapped her wings faster, but it was no hope: he was already far ahead of her.
  49. [22:08] * Desert_Eagle pulls up, coming to a hover above the airfield, waiting for SunlightOctave, grinning.
  50. [22:10] * SunlightOctave flied in and finally lands. "You...how...oh, Goddess..." She breathed heavily. "Lemme guess...you have...been doing this...a while."
  51. [22:13] <~Desert_Eagle> "Ayup."
  52. [22:13] * Desert_Eagle chuckels.
  53. [22:14] * SunlightOctave says "Okay...caught my breath. So...what do we get to shoot at? And...when we were in the tower, I know that we were Rad free...but out here, though..." PipBuck check. This wasn't a radkillzone, she would have felt things go horribly wrong if they had entered a heavy pocket of radiation.
  54. [22:17] <~Desert_Eagle> The radiation levels were low, 1 or 2 per second in a few spots around the edge of the base.
  55. [22:19] * SunlightOctave says "Whew. Thought most everywhere out here would be a Radzone. So...where's our targets?"
  56. [22:21] * Desert_Eagle nods. "The horde of Feral Ghouls that live in the main hangars."
  57. [22:22] * SunlightOctave slows her step. "Oh. H-How many?"
  58. [22:22] * Desert_Eagle rubs his chin with a hoof. "Hmmm, about 200 or so I think."
  59. [22:23] <~Desert_Eagle> "I'd suggest staying airborne if you want to live."
  60. [22:23] * SunlightOctave says "Oh, you think?!?" She flaps back up, not waiting for the Ghouls to come pouring out.
  61. [22:26] * Desert_Eagle chuckles. "This way." He says, flying over the base towards the remains of the control tower.
  62. [22:27] * SunlightOctave says "Wait...you keep these ghouls here on purpose? Eagle!"
  63. [22:28] <~Desert_Eagle> "What what?!"
  64. [22:28] * Desert_Eagle backwings, spinning to face SunlightOctave.
  65. [22:28] <~Desert_Eagle> "Uhh, no."
  66. [22:29] * SunlightOctave nods slowly, as she circles around into a firing position. "So...these things die easy?"
  67. [22:31] <~Desert_Eagle> "Sometimes." He unslings the biggest fucking AMR ever, sliding the bolt back and letting it snap for ward with a loud ka-chank! "Let's stir 'em up, shall we?"
  68. [22:33] * SunlightOctave puts her bit trigger in her mouth, nodding and taking aim at some of the ghouls that were coming out. SATS kicked in, and she was gonna try and mow down as many as she could on her first pass.
  69. [22:38] * Desert_Eagle grins, lifting the AMR up. "Goodbye!" KRACKABOOM!
  70. [22:42] * SunlightOctave prays this works--and puts a round from both weapons into both ghouls--one hit pretty damn accurate, the second one grazing and burning through a shoulder. One dropped, the other screamed in pain as she flew over and took aim again, letting SATS renew.
  71. [22:43] * Desert_Eagle fired again, his AMR deafening. The ghoul it hit was simply not there anymore.
  72. [22:45] * SunlightOctave hooted as she whirled back around again, this time picking more targets and depositing bullets into the Ghouls' bodies. Blam...blam...blam.
  73. [22:50] * Desert_Eagle switches from his AMR to his Carbine, firing off 8 rounds in rapid succession as more ghouls began to stream out of the hangars.
  74. [22:51] * SunlightOctave says "Good bucking thing they can't fly! How many more are there?" Five more shots rang out--with only four hits this time.
  75. [22:51] <~Desert_Eagle> "Actually, some o' 'em can, but ah don't see any pegasi down there yet, an' like 180."
  76. [22:53] * SunlightOctave says "Oh, only 180?!? Hope I don't run out of ammo!"
  77. [22:55] <~Desert_Eagle> "Well, tha's jus' countin' th' ones out here."
