  2. [2015-09-23 13:13:50] <Pink-E> 3“There is nothing sacred anymore.”
  3. [2015-09-23 13:13:57] <Pink-E> 3“The Senate speaks of the depravity of ponykind, trumpeting the hastening degradation of your social and moral values, as if they have kept theirs. I remember when spirits were respected and feared. Now we bind the power of spirits of rage to make our bullets burn and spirits of whispers to make our war machines silent...
  4. [2015-09-23 13:14:03] <Pink-E> 3"This place was once held in reverence. Now it is a resource for the war effort. We are weaponizing Windigos. The Legates listen to the likes of Xero. Even the blasphemous horrors of necromancy are not above the Senate’s consideration.”
  5. [2015-09-23 13:14:17] <Pink-E> 3"If the citizens realized the full extent of what we have done, the Hidden Nightmare would not need to destroy us – we would tear ourselves apart for her.”
  6. [2015-09-23 13:14:19] <Pink-E> 3...
  7. [2015-09-23 13:14:45] <Pink-E> 3Noble_Heart contemplates that briefly. Then sighs quietly and lowers her voice slightly. "We have been hired by a caravan company to retrieve a very dangerous item, a balefire bomb, out of belief that it would be used to create an area of Equestria safe for ghoul habitation." She paused briefly, then scuffed a forehoof before continuing.
  8. [2015-09-23 13:15:06] <Pink-E> 3"Or so it is that We have told Our friends. The truth is that We were sent by the Followers of the Apocalypse, on order of Miss Fluttershy under suspicions that the Crimson Caravan company was planning a dangerous, perhaps foolhardy or even self-destructive effort to retrieve such a dangerous object from Zebra lands..."
  9. [2015-09-23 13:15:21] <Pink-E> 3"Our job was to accompany those sent here to ensure the safety and preservation of Equestrian health and welfare." Noble_Heart She sounds more... Ashamed of admitting it somehow than she probably should be.
  10. [2015-09-23 13:15:24] <Pink-E> 3...
  11. [2015-09-23 13:15:48] <Pink-E> 3Mwana says, "I want you to come with us."
  12. [2015-09-23 13:16:01] <Pink-E> 3Golden_Dream looks at him. He looks... Beautiful right now. Handsome, a little dorky, but has an innocence to him, an optimism that wriggles it's way through a hugely cynical situation, like a lone gentle flower through concrete. She swiftly finds her eyes on the pith helm in her hooves.
  13. [2015-09-23 13:16:18] <Pink-E> 3She turns it a little. "... I ever tell you why I came around here? Not fer' th' bomb or anything like that. The reason /I/ came here?"
  14. [2015-09-23 13:16:25] <Pink-E> 3Mwana shakes his head. "No. Why?"
  15. [2015-09-23 13:16:49] <Pink-E> 3Golden_Dream choked on tears, but none flowed from her eyes. "One of my friends died. A ghoul named Crackpot, and I killed him because he one day jus' lost his mind. First, m' mom died. Then my dad. Then, I never did see m' brother again after he left. It feels like m' life has always been there t' lose folks. And it never, never gets easier."
  16. [2015-09-23 13:17:08] <Pink-E> 3"Time was, I jus' straight up killed m'self inside so I wouldn't feel anything at all. But that ain't an option no more."
  17. [2015-09-23 13:17:14] <Pink-E> 3...
  18. [2015-09-23 13:17:51] <Pink-E> 3>> Omega Protocol #48
  19. [2015-09-23 13:17:56] <Pink-E> 3>> CLASSIFIED: CELESTIA TIER
  20. [2015-09-23 13:18:02] <Pink-E> 3>> Unauthorized viewing of these Protocols is forbidden under Equestrian Loyalty and is considered an act of Treason.
  21. [2015-09-23 13:18:07] <Pink-E> 3>>
  22. [2015-09-23 13:18:12] <Pink-E> 3>> To Colonel Fleetfoot
  23. [2015-09-23 13:18:17] <Pink-E> 3>> From Rainbow Dash
  24. [2015-09-23 13:18:22] <Pink-E> 3>> For your eyes only.
  25. [2015-09-23 13:18:27] <Pink-E> 3>>
  26. [2015-09-23 13:18:34] <Pink-E> 3>> The following Omega Protocols override all existing orders and mission parameters.
  27. [2015-09-23 13:18:40] <Pink-E> 3>> In the case of a megaspell exchange, you and your squadron are to infiltrate zebra territory. See the provided maps.
  28. [2015-09-23 13:18:44] <Pink-E> 3>> Your target location is the Vallis Medio military facility located in the town of Soles Prata within Vallis Medio.
  29. [2015-09-23 13:18:49] <Pink-E> 3>> Your objective is to secure the facility and destroy all enemy military intelligence and production capability within Vallis Medio.
  30. [2015-09-23 13:18:54] <Pink-E> 3>>
  31. [2015-09-23 13:19:02] <Pink-E> 3>> In the event of a megaspell exchange, Vallis Medio will be targeted by the Tabula Rasa Megaspell. The megaspell will erase all memories from both the military and civilian populations. This should remove Vallis Medio as an active threat long enough for you to secure the area, and allow a complete destruction of all research data within the facility.
  32. [2015-09-23 13:19:09] <Pink-E> 3>> This should also allow taking of the area with minimal casualties. The zebras will no longer be at war if they don't remember they are at war.
  33. [2015-09-23 13:19:15] <Pink-E> 3>> There is a chance of local panic and chaos in the aftermath of Tabula Rasa. Your squad's secondary objective is to protect the civilian population and restore order.
  34. [2015-09-23 13:19:20] <Pink-E> 3>>
  35. [2015-09-23 13:19:26] <Pink-E> 3>> Congruent with these orders, you will be provided with an experimental pegasi megaspell framework. If it comes to it, fight fire with fire.
  36. [2015-09-23 13:19:35] <Pink-E> 3>> Best of luck to you and your soldiers. I don't need to tell you how vitally important it is that we shut down Roam's balefire bomb production.
  37. [2015-09-23 13:19:40] <Pink-E> 3>>
  38. [2015-09-23 13:19:45] <Pink-E> 3>> Message Ends.
  39. [2015-09-23 13:19:53] <Pink-E> 3...
  40. [2015-09-23 13:19:58] <Pink-E> 3Golden_Dream sits there in stunned silence for a moment or two. And then only breaks it when she starts making an "F" sound for until session next time.
  41. [2015-09-23 13:20:31] <Pink-E> 3Fallout: Beyond Equestria, Session One Hundred and Fifty-Two: Xero Hour (Part Six) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S2aHcANs4GE
  42. [2015-09-23 13:20:45] <Pink-E> 3--- Session Begins ---
  43. [2015-09-23 13:28:27] * Get_Lost is still rummaging in the pegasi stuff "so... the stble is somewhere near a coal mine..."
  44. [2015-09-23 13:28:37] <Golden_Dream> "-UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK."
  45. [2015-09-23 13:29:24] * Get_Lost turns towards Golden_Dream "kid, what's wrong?"
  46. [2015-09-23 13:30:38] * CopyCat tilts her head, not even needing her crazy winghorn pony magic to know what Golden_Dream was about to say. "Pegasi megaspell framework..." she eyes the strange antenna and components they'd pulled from the cloud-locked boxes. "Do you think that could be it, maybe?" Then comes the: -'UUUUUUUUUUUCK' from the direction of Goldy. CopyCat giggles.
  47. [2015-09-23 13:40:06] * Get_Lost not getting replies the mare starts meddling with the antenna and other components, trying to put them together somehow. there is some rolled up cloud, she uses that too, you can never say
  48. [2015-09-23 13:40:48] * Golden_Dream rubs her head. A headache was coming on. "Th' CRUX. Th' CRUX is th' experimental megaspell framework, and th' Balefire factory is /right down there below us."
  49. [2015-09-23 13:42:15] <Get_Lost> the crux is a very large EMP grenade, i dont' think it counts as a megaspell, ypou know... it should work on a very different scale...
  50. [2015-09-23 13:42:19] <Pink-E> 3The rolled up cloud zaps Get_Lost when she touches it.
  51. [2015-09-23 13:42:29] * Get_Lost ow!
  52. [2015-09-23 13:42:32] <Get_Lost> ""
  53. [2015-09-23 13:42:59] * Get_Lost leaves the thing alone, being zapped is bad habit, probably the cloud wasn't housebroken
  54. [2015-09-23 13:43:27] * Get_Lost "does somepony have gloves? rubber gloves?"
  55. [2015-09-23 13:46:26] * Shatara has the rolled up cloud.
  56. [2015-09-23 13:50:00] <Pink-E> 3The parts that Get_Lost is working with all appear to be spare parts for the array. Put together, they make even a bigger, dangerously over-engineered array. But not much else.
  57. [2015-09-23 13:52:27] * Get_Lost is having fun anyway, tries yo set it on transmitting and connects it with her personal radio device, then tries looking for frequencies
  58. [2015-09-23 13:52:28] * Mitzi pats Golden_Dream on the head. "Feel better now?"
  59. [2015-09-23 13:54:38] * CopyCat pouts, having watched Get_Lost as she worked and sharing in her disappointment when sticking all the parts they had together didn't do anything. "Pfft," she horse-noises. Then she sidles up to Shatara and pokes the cloud he was carrying. (What? Get_Lost's tail was totally snazzy right now and CC wanted some of that!)
  60. [2015-09-23 13:55:36] <Pink-E> 3Get_Lost manages to find a strong broadcast. A polite-sounding zebra speaks between musical numbers.
  61. [2015-09-23 13:55:55] * Get_Lost "hey, i found a radio station!"
  62. [2015-09-23 13:56:28] <Pink-E> 3The cloud zaps CopyCat, making her mane and tail all frizzy.
  63. [2015-09-23 13:57:17] * Get_Lost frowns "meh, it's not pon3... that guy has a supersexy voice, i'd totally would not say no to a stallion with that attitude..."
  64. [2015-09-23 13:58:08] * Golden_Dream inhales. Exhales. "Yeah, yeah, a lil'.
  65. [2015-09-23 13:59:48] * Get_Lost "hey kid, would you say no to a date with dj pon3?"
  66. [2015-09-23 14:03:52] * CopyCat yips as she gets an expected (and deserved) zap, "Ow!". Then she admires herself in something. "Ohh, I like! Very 80's Cheerilee."
  67. [2015-09-23 14:05:24] * Mitzi smiles at Golden_Dream. "So where next?"
  68. [2015-09-23 14:06:50] <Pink-E> 3((The zebra voice is much more Uncle Jack than DJ Pon3))
  69. [2015-09-23 14:07:18] * CopyCat then turns to Golden_Dream, Get_Lost, Shatara, and Mitzi. "But this is good news, right? You all... /we're/ looking for a balefire bomb. And this place is supposed to make them."
  70. [2015-09-23 14:08:25] * Get_Lost smiles, but for some reason, her words are sounding fake "yeah, that's great, so we will finally finish our quest!"
  71. [2015-09-23 14:08:32] * Mitzi blinks at that. The only thing she really knew about balefire bombs was that the little pony her father hated had blown up the old home in splendid valley with one
  72. [2015-09-23 14:08:45] <Mitzi> * hated most
  73. [2015-09-23 14:15:23] * Golden_Dream shrugs. "I 'unno. Ain't too into mares. Or int' dealin' what with Pip's main mare."
  74. [2015-09-23 14:19:13] <Mitzi> "Those bombs make big boom. Maybe we use in tu get rid uv Xero?"
  75. [2015-09-23 14:19:24] <Mitzi> * one
  76. [2015-09-23 14:23:08] * Golden_Dream frowns. "Naw. Naw, I don' think that's th' best way t' handle 'em. She's a necromancer, ain't she? She'd jus' get more powerful by it."
  77. [2015-09-23 14:23:52] <Mitzi> Mitzi seems baffled by the notion that blowing someone up would make them stronger
  78. [2015-09-23 14:23:56] * Get_Lost frowns "i don't like the idea of undiscriminate genocide of an entire vault...."
  79. [2015-09-23 14:24:29] * Get_Lost "i thin k that happened already enough times..."
  80. [2015-09-23 14:25:21] * Get_Lost "maybe we could reason with these guys? you know, become friends, avoid conflict, help then build something useful like an orbital artillery?"
  81. [2015-09-23 14:26:02] * Get_Lost is sure that there's something off with her idea, but can't really avoid the chance of oversized weapons
  82. [2015-09-23 14:28:05] <Shatara> "...they'd probably use orbital artillery to turn Equestria into a smouldering crater..."
  83. [2015-09-23 14:31:14] * Get_Lost "hey, you can't say that! sometimes a giant orbital trajectory ground artillery is just that!... you know, just to have something cool out in the garden... foals love playing with those things"
  84. [2015-09-23 14:31:47] * CopyCat tilts her head. "Well, the first thing to do would be to find the Vault. Or maybe look for clues about the pegasi megaspell framework. Are there any notes about it in Fleetfoot's PipBuck?"
  85. [2015-09-23 14:32:08] * Get_Lost "why don't we just follow the radio signal?"
  86. [2015-09-23 14:41:09] * Get_Lost to underline her point, plays the radio station
  87. [2015-09-23 14:42:21] * CopyCat blinks, listening along with Get_Lost. "That could work, Get_Lost. But do we know it's coming from where we want to go?" CopyCat ponders. "On the other hoof, so long as it's not being broadcast from Roam, wherever it's coming from might be interesting.
  88. [2015-09-23 14:42:34] * Golden_Dream looks at Get and frowns. She's having a good idea again.
  89. [2015-09-23 14:45:47] * CopyCat blinks again. She turns to Golden_Dream and Get_Lost with a look of complete seriousness. "I know Zebra-Fu."
  90. [2015-09-23 14:46:28] * Get_Lost waits from a response from copy "so... what are we listening to?"
  91. [2015-09-23 14:46:29] * Golden_Dream crooks an eyebrow. "Wut."
  92. [2015-09-23 14:46:58] * Shatara continues working on ammo.
  93. [2015-09-23 14:47:17] <Pink-E> 3The ammo is coming along nicely.
  94. [2015-09-23 14:47:19] * Mitzi doesn't get the striepy horse noises
  95. [2015-09-23 14:48:57] * CopyCat shakes her head quickly, like a dog drying itself. "I mean, umm," she corrects meekly. "I can understand Zebra now. I can understand what the voice is saying. It's, umm..." she gives Get_Lost a look that says 'sorry'. "It's from Roam. About being happy and loving family and friends and Roam."
  96. [2015-09-23 14:49:58] * Get_Lost shrugs "hen it's useless... what a pity... oh well, then we need to find the mines"
  97. [2015-09-23 14:50:26] * Bookwright starts the rather grotesque task of removing the bones of pegasi from the armor they were wearing. He tries to be as gentle as possible, and keeps the skeletons separate so they can be buried individually later.
  98. [2015-09-23 14:51:30] * Mitzi looks to CopyCat, "Dat's not tu bad."
  99. [2015-09-23 14:55:23] <Pink-E> 3((In zebra: ...strange things happen in make-believe tales of Equestria, but even stranger and nastier things happen in the past. Heh, thank goodness we're not living then!"))
  100. [2015-09-23 15:02:42] * Get_Lost since somepony is doing the bone thing, the mare decides to help. that is, saying some few words for the souls of the departed... you shouldn't loot a body just like that, you should always leave something in exchange.
  101. [2015-09-23 15:03:58] * Get_Lost coughs a bit, then sings one of the thousands songs the crusaders used to sing when somepony didn't come back from a salvage trip
  102. [2015-09-23 15:08:14] * Get_Lost "the roads are the dusty-est, the winds are th gusty-est, the gates are the rusty-est, the pies are the crusty-est... the songs the lasty-est, the friends the trusty-est..." takes a long breath "way, back home..."
  103. [2015-09-23 15:09:06] * CopyCat follows Get_Lost round, seemingly entranced by almost melodic-sounding words on the radio that she could now attribute meaning to.
  104. [2015-09-23 15:09:08] * Get_Lost then bows her head "helf past seven... vlose the main gate. maybe they'll be back tomorrow."
  105. [2015-09-23 15:09:42] * Get_Lost she repeats it as if it was all a single sentence, a sort of prayer. it isclear that she never believed the last part
  106. [2015-09-23 15:09:55] <Get_Lost> *close
  107. [2015-09-23 15:10:26] * Get_Lost then helps putting the bones in separate heaps
  108. [2015-09-23 15:10:31] <Pink-E> 3Pink-E listens, memorizing the tune.
  109. [2015-09-23 15:11:32] <Pink-E> 3"That," the spritebot says, "Was really sweet." Then, after a pause, "We have to teach that to Sweet-E!"
  110. [2015-09-23 15:12:04] * Mitzi looks at Get_Lost, recognizing her mournful tone. She pats her on the head gently
  111. [2015-09-23 15:14:24] <Get_Lost> ACTION frowns "it is the song we used to sing before we closed a patrol outside... you can't leave the door open in the dark, and thy wouldn't probably come back... only... we were kids, so the best thing we could do was singing something, hoping for them to find the way home... it rarely happened, though. sad song, the day after we avoided talking about them at all, and the day after, until we forgot the names. only self-de
  112. [2015-09-23 15:16:15] * Get_Lost " only self-defence we had about being scared of going outside"
  113. [2015-09-23 15:18:26] <Pink-E> 3Parlay makes a sad boop.
  114. [2015-09-23 15:18:35] <Pink-E> 3Pink-E echoes it.
  115. [2015-09-23 15:21:33] * CopyCat puts a wing around Get_Lost. "Next time we go out I think we should all stick together. No splitting up and going off on our own. No need to sing sad songs."
  116. [2015-09-23 15:21:34] * Pink-E 3then asks, "Were they ever back tomorrow?"
  117. [2015-09-23 15:23:15] * Get_Lost shrugs "a couple times, yes... you know, going too far from the place, having to sleep in a abandoned farm and stuff... sometimes there is a good end" doesn't talk about the other times. no need to depress the kidbots
  118. [2015-09-23 15:27:54] * Pink-E 3makes a relieved sound. "Oh. That's good." Clearly, she had been fearing a different answer. "At least some came back. I wish it were more."
  119. [2015-09-23 15:33:49] * Get_Lost nodnods "so, this is why getting a curtiemark was so bad. you had to leave, the door was closed for you. forever. and they didn't even sing the way home song for you..." sighs "good times"
  120. [2015-09-23 15:42:58] * Pink-E 3beeps upsettedly. "That's mean."
  121. [2015-09-23 15:44:20] <Pink-E> 3In voices only CopyCat can both hear and understand...
  122. [2015-09-23 15:44:36] * CopyCat hugs Get_Lost. "Aww, that should get a song too. A happy song!" She turns to Pink-E. "We should sing Get_Lost a happy song!"
  123. [2015-09-23 15:44:56] <Pink-E> 10"Mommy? Why is daddy coming after us? Why does he want to hurt us?"
  124. [2015-09-23 15:45:06] <Pink-E> 10"I don't know, love. I don't know."
  125. [2015-09-23 15:45:28] <Pink-E> 10"Is he dead, mommy?"
  126. [2015-09-23 15:45:34] <Pink-E> 10"I-I think so."
  127. [2015-09-23 15:45:52] <Pink-E> 3The voices fade away.
  128. [2015-09-23 15:48:01] * CopyCat freezes, the frazzled hair standing up on the back of her neck. "Did... did anyone else hear that?"
  129. [2015-09-23 15:48:02] * Get_Lost shrugs "you get over it, eventually. you make new friends, meet other ponies... usually"
  130. [2015-09-23 15:48:15] * Shatara fidgets a bit.
  131. [2015-09-23 15:48:16] * Get_Lost "hear what?"
  132. [2015-09-23 15:48:19] * Mitzi frowns at those voices. "How duz dead daddee cum aftur dem?"
  133. [2015-09-23 15:48:41] * Golden_Dream frowns. "Get, progress on tracking th' signal."
  134. [2015-09-23 15:49:35] * Get_Lost nodnods "sure, but i think it is from some sort of repeater station... i could triangulate it if you wish"
  135. [2015-09-23 15:51:45] * Bookwright "I heard it, but I don't speak zebra."
  136. [2015-09-23 15:51:52] <Mitzi> [redact]
  137. [2015-09-23 15:52:02] * Mitzi wiggles her ears. "Wut dat said?"
  138. [2015-09-23 15:53:27] <Pink-E> 3It is hard to triangulate without several points to coordinate data, but Get_Lost is able to get a solid line on the direction of the repeater station. And it does seem to be that, as the line doesn't lead directly to Roam.
  139. [2015-09-23 15:54:42] * Get_Lost "well, the station is at least an intermediate array, since it doesn't point at the capital... but remember: in the end, every signal leads to roam..."
  140. [2015-09-23 15:55:47] * CopyCat swallows, her desire to sing a happy song dampened for the moment. "I... I heard voices, like before. Um... one of those memory echos. A filly and her mother. The filly was asking why Daddy was trying to hurt them... but he was dead. He was dead and trying to hurt them."
  141. [2015-09-23 15:58:01] * Mitzi frowns at CopyCat, "How ded daddee hurt aneeun?"
  142. [2015-09-23 16:03:10] * CopyCat shivers. "Necromancy."
  143. [2015-09-23 16:03:24] * Pink-E 3is silent a moment, then admits, "I didn't hear any voices except yours."
  144. [2015-09-23 16:03:53] * Mitzi raises an eyebrow, "Dat's wut Nekrothingee eez?"
  145. [2015-09-23 16:03:58] * Golden_Dream sighs. "... Where is th' stable, folks? Do we know? If not, where can we find out?"
  146. [2015-09-23 16:04:59] <Pink-E> 3Parlay boops in agreement and sends Get_Lost an audio log. From the log, it is clear the voices are non-existent to them.
  147. [2015-09-23 16:06:41] * Get_Lost is almost proud of the fact that parlay is showing spirit of initiative! her friendship with pink-e is totally making her become a ladybot!
  148. [2015-09-23 16:07:15] * Get_Lost "the stable is supposed to be in or next to a coal mine, i guess?"
  149. [2015-09-23 16:11:34] <Pink-E> 3Pink-E answers Golden_Dream, "Vault LIV is in the mines... somewhere. You said before that they are a huge maze all over under the town. You had a map with three ways you might get it. You said you were going to check out the school first."
  150. [2015-09-23 16:14:31] * Golden_Dream rubs the back of her neck. "Any clue on if I found it or not?"
  151. [2015-09-23 16:15:50] <Pink-E> 3Pink-E gives a negative wobble.
  152. [2015-09-23 16:16:20] * Golden_Dream sighs. "Which means I prolly didn't. Else them folk who wound up in the school prolly didn't either."
  153. [2015-09-23 16:16:41] * CopyCat tilts her head at Golden_Dream. "That may have been what we were doing when we all lost our memories... Do you remember visiting the school yet?"
  154. [2015-09-23 16:17:27] * Mitzi nods to CopyCat, "NobleHeart und me went tu da skul."
  155. [2015-09-23 16:23:37] * Golden_Dream furrows her brow. "... I was at th' motel. Ya'll two were at th' school. Where were th' others?"
  156. [2015-09-23 16:29:55] <Pink-E> 3Get_Lost can volunteer that she was in the robot maintenance bay of a recharger shop.
  157. [2015-09-23 16:30:40] * CopyCat tries to remember. "I was... running somewhere. But I don't where I started or what my destination was. Um... sorry."
  158. [2015-09-23 16:32:04] <Shatara> "I...think I shot at something?"
  159. [2015-09-23 16:38:40] * Bookwright finishes his gruesome task. "We'll bury these soldiers later. Shatara, can you help me patch this armor up into some useful suits?"
  160. [2015-09-23 16:39:27] * Shatara nods, packing up reloading press and digging out the sewing kits.
  161. [2015-09-23 16:40:10] <Pink-E> 3Get_Lost adds, "i was gathering parts. for robots and things. also for that motorized bike you liked, golden_dream."
  162. [2015-09-23 16:40:47] * Golden_Dream rubs her chin. "So, a Motel is a real good place t' find a map fer' tourists. So's a school. So th' last place you'd find one would prolly be town hall, right?"
  163. [2015-09-23 16:46:10] <Pink-E> 3Based on the map that Get_Lost found, the school was the only possible entrance that was central to town. The other two were on the outskirts.
  164. [2015-09-23 16:48:10] <Pink-E> 3The next closest is the theatre, which is towards the north edge of town. The other is a vacant lot on the far southeastern edge.
  165. [2015-09-23 16:48:37] * CopyCat looks over at Golden_Dream. "So the school remains our best chance. Or at least where we should try first. Next time let's stick together. And maybe record a note for ourselves about what we're doing."
  166. [2015-09-23 16:52:03] <Pink-E> 3Through the boarded-up windows is only the pitch black of a starless night. Not that the stars aren't staring down at the valley from the heavens -- the smoke just obscures them from you. And you from them.
  167. [2015-09-23 16:54:55] * CopyCat smiles. "That will have to wait for morning of course. For now how about you and I try to find somewhere we might be able to cook for everyone, Golden_Dream? Shatara and Bookwright are busy making things. Perhaps Mitzi and Noble Heart can look for someplace in here where we can sleep."
  168. [2015-09-23 16:56:42] * Golden_Dream scoffs. "Not much cookin' t' be done. What we got's are MRE's.
  169. [2015-09-23 16:57:23] * Pink-E 3scoffs. "Let me at them! You'll see!"
  170. [2015-09-23 16:57:39] * Golden_Dream hoofwaves. "I promise not th' haul out th' Vegetable Omelettes until we're in /dire/ circumstances."
  171. [2015-09-23 16:58:22] * Pink-E 3ooohs. "Those sound good!"
  172. [2015-09-23 16:58:34] * Golden_Dream shudders. "They ain't."
  173. [2015-09-23 16:59:58] * CopyCat claps her hooves together. "That's the spirit, Pink-E! Come on, Golden_Dream, let's show those MREs whose boss!"
  174. [2015-09-23 17:01:20] * Mitzi looks around the party. Having neglected to bring her own food out of the Enclave's situation, she asks, "Any meat?"
  175. [2015-09-23 17:07:31] <Pink-E> 3From the variety of MREs, it does not look like pre-war ponies were heavy meat eaters. The number of MREs with mean is very small, although there are a few with pork products, including bacon and pepperoni.
  176. [2015-09-23 17:08:42] * Golden_Dream grumbles. "Bacon and egg in a bag. Where good taste goes t' die." She sighs. "Lemme see if a lil' pepper sauce and some panfryin' can save it."
  177. [2015-09-23 17:09:46] * CopyCat cheers! And follows behind Golden_Dream. "Pink-E and I will help!"
  178. [2015-09-23 17:10:27] * Mitzi nods, "Bacon eez gud."
  179. [2015-09-23 17:23:54] * Bookwright nods. "Whatever Golden Dream cooks up for us is doubtless going to be stellar."
  180. [2015-09-23 17:25:21] * Golden_Dream starts whipping out pans and pots. "I'll do the best I can do."
  181. [2015-09-23 17:40:47] <Pink-E> 3--- End of Session ---
