  1. [2015-05-23 19:41:03]* Marshal_Cookies >> Deadlands: Tartarus on Equestria, Session #6 "Dine and Dash" <<
  2. [2015-05-23 19:41:16]* Marshal_Cookies Diner, thankfully, concludes shortly after the groups proding of Golden Harvest who finishes his own plate of steamed carrots and Raddishes in silence.
  3. [2015-05-23 19:41:34]* Marshal_Cookies Lieutenant AppleJack casts suspcious eyes around the table as she eats while Head Guard Heart Shoes keeps hers glued to her plate. Risky Fortune tries to continue polite conversation with whoever will speak with her.
  4. [2015-05-23 19:41:50]* Marshal_Cookies Around you Guards, workers, and scientists shift in and out taking time to enjoy the feast laid out for the guests, while there may be a few familure faces among them Tera is not among them yet.
  5. [2015-05-23 19:42:10]* Observer1 is now known as Azshkazar
  6. [2015-05-23 19:42:10]* Marshal_Cookies For those that eat it is a sublime experiance, these produce are some of the freshest and tasteiest you have had since the climax of the great war.
  7. [2015-05-23 19:43:02]* Marshal_Cookies as ponies finish some kitchen staff pass by to collect plates
  8. [2015-05-23 19:43:18]* Marshal_Cookies crowds in the caffeteria begin to thin out
  9. [2015-05-23 19:44:03]<Damnfool> Golden Brass is growing progressively more worried as the gears in her head turn. Golden Harvest reminds her of something...
  10. [2015-05-23 19:44:16]* Ignis delivers a clean, unused plate. And, as in a fluid motion, grubs something from his pocket, shoves on his mouth and solemny chews on it...completely unfazed.
  11. [2015-05-23 19:44:57]* Emerald_Rose eats her food with pleasure, happy to talk with Risky Fortune. As the plates are cleaned, she excuses herself to use the restroom.
  12. [2015-05-23 19:46:01]* Ignis is now known as Hummel
  13. [2015-05-23 19:46:19]* Azshkazar frowns at her plate after finishing. She's going to feel pretty stupid if it turns out that the food at her table *wasn't* poisoned, and she had taken the less fancy food from the other tables for nothing.
  14. [2015-05-23 19:46:22]* Nutmeg_Oil had whispered to the others during dinner how he believes the antenna from the place is a junkertech creation to collect G-rays.
  15. [2015-05-23 19:46:29]* Marshal_Cookies Golden Harvest asks Emerald rose, "Please, be sure to join us at my office in a few moments time when you can so you and your friends can all find your answers"
  16. [2015-05-23 19:46:45]* Emerald_Rose smiles and nods. "Oh, of course. I'll only be a moment."
  17. [2015-05-23 19:48:01]* Hummel rests his elbow by the table and simply eyeballs the scene boredly, oh well...all that food and he couldn't eat not even a little...such is the price of being self-composed.
  18. [2015-05-23 19:48:04]* Nutmeg_Oil glances for all the possible exits, including windows, and for the movement of the local ponies.
  19. [2015-05-23 19:48:50]* Damnfool gets the feeling that their answers are going to include Things That Mortals Were Not Meant to Know.
  20. [2015-05-23 19:48:56]<Damnfool> Brass*
  21. [2015-05-23 19:49:02]* Bellator grabs an apple for the road with a wing, joining her companions
  22. [2015-05-23 19:49:03]<Damnfool> ... or violence.
  23. [2015-05-23 19:50:43]* Marshal_Cookies Bellator grabs a apple quarter that is easily twice the size of a normal whole apple, Nutmeg notes no windows, doors to the halls and kitchen.
  24. [2015-05-23 19:54:58]* Marshal_Cookies Shortly after Emerald leaves Golden Harvest stands, eyes moving to a watch he lifts to inspect before noding to the door, "Well if you want your answers you can join me in my office where I will be all to glad to explain anything you wish, im sure your friend will join us in a moment".
  25. [2015-05-23 19:55:32]* Marshal_Cookies Emerald rose sees a few ponies walking about the hall as she passes, some talking to each other, some moving with purpose to whatever destination they were bound.
  26. [2015-05-23 19:56:22]* Marshal_Cookies AJ stands, "Ah would be all to glad to get any of this cleared up that needs be, I know were related and all Harvest but I just cant see why you wouldnt mention anything about all this before. These are things I need to know if yoru going to be dealing with the Globe"
  27. [2015-05-23 19:56:28]* Nutmeg_Oil also discretely checks for his gun and an important something just in case, then turns to follow, paying attention on the path and the state of the doors along the way.
  28. [2015-05-23 19:58:32]* Emerald_Rose smiles and nods to the ponies, finishing up her business in the bathroom before emerging wearing her tabard. She makes her way to Golden Harvest's office... after asking a guard to make sure she's headed the right way.
  29. [2015-05-23 19:59:00]<Damnfool> Brass reconsiders her stance on wearing armor, albeit a bit too late.
  30. [2015-05-23 19:59:11]* Azshkazar will follow Nutmeg to the office
  31. [2015-05-23 19:59:49]<Damnfool> She goes with the others.
  32. [2015-05-23 20:00:30]* Marshal_Cookies Guards obligue Emearld as she travels to the office, eyebrows lifting at the sight of the tabard. The rest are guided by Golden Harvest to his office, the pony flanked by his customary two guards, both earth pony guard ponies with black armor and HI weapons.
  33. [2015-05-23 20:00:34]* Hummel shrugs and refrains from following the rest, chances were that the visit would be either not enlightening or way too enlightening...plus, there was more to do than listen to whenever the good doctor choosen exactly to tell people about.
  34. [2015-05-23 20:00:36]* Bellator follows the captain as well, "Ah don't know 'bout the rest of ya, but Ah'll keep an eye on the cap'." she says to the remaining ponies in the dining room, "Might have some time to look 'round here unattended iffin ya like."
  35. [2015-05-23 20:00:54]* Marshal_Cookies the doors to the office swish open as Harvest steps into his chair at his large desk, having a seat. "Please, come inside"
  36. [2015-05-23 20:02:19]<Damnfool> Brass takes a seat next to Azshkazar.
  37. [2015-05-23 20:03:06]* Marshal_Cookies Heartshoe dismisses herself to attend to other matters, she is followed by a few guard that leave shortly after her.
  38. [2015-05-23 20:05:34]* Emerald_Rose arrives last out of the group. "Sorry about that. Have I missed anything?"
  39. [2015-05-23 20:05:51]<Damnfool> "No. No, I don't think so," Brass says to Emerald_Rose.
  40. [2015-05-23 20:07:04]* Emerald_Rose smiles and nods. "Excellent." She stands rather than taking a seat, showing interest in the office.
  41. [2015-05-23 20:07:38]* Marshal_Cookies Harest nods as he visibly counts heads, "Ah, well hopefully your other friend will join us later, but for now you seemed to have serious questions about my establishment and the goings on here?"
  42. [2015-05-23 20:07:39]<Damnfool> Golden Brass also looks around, curious.
  43. [2015-05-23 20:08:11]* Marshal_Cookies Heart Shoes climbs into the elivator on the first floor, hummel can easily catch up to her.
  44. [2015-05-23 20:08:34]* Nutmeg_Oil noticed two guards at the entrance of the room. He tries to point that out discretely to the others
  45. [2015-05-23 20:09:08]* Marshal_Cookies the office is finely apointed, large oak desk, a few fake plants, a wall of computer terminals behind near some shelves, on which are many many books (both scientific and arcane), and a larger monitor on the wall. A camera watches in the conern. Lastly a partialy disasembled TOFU unit sits on the desk.
  46. [2015-05-23 20:09:15]* Hummel nods to her in his nonchalant silent way. "...you're gonna keep tabs on the lot of them, aren't you?"
  47. [2015-05-23 20:09:34]* Marshal_Cookies a Mild smelly oder hangs in the room.
  48. [2015-05-23 20:11:10]* Marshal_Cookies Shoestring nods, "Already on it, my own guard should have scycled into position at the observation room during dinner, Im just on my way to join them, ask if we missed anything".
  49. [2015-05-23 20:11:24]* BondsBot (BondsBot@Pony-mkgbro.bc.googleusercontent.com) has joined
  50. [2015-05-23 20:11:47]* Nutmeg_Oil has kicked BondsBot from #FoEG0 (Nutmeg_Oil)
  51. [2015-05-23 20:12:27]<Hummel> "Yup, sounds reasonable...if I were you I'd be into the cams to pick up the actual conversation...even if most of it would probably be predigested BS..." He shrugs. "But then, now that we're talking...what's the deal about this secret emergency exit?"
  52. [2015-05-23 20:13:11]<Azshkazar> "So, Golden Brass, one issue I wanted to address was these TOFUs you've built. They seem to be releasing some kind of magical energy into the ground, energy that may or not be attracting the zombies. Just what are they? Where are they getting their energy from?"
  53. [2015-05-23 20:14:47]* Marshal_Cookies Heart shoes rolls her eyes as the door closes and the lift rises, "Oh which of the guards dont have a plan for escape, most are hack kneeded and nearly suicidal, sailors traped on a island dreaming of escape. There is only a few I know about that could work, the best option being the sewer system in the basment, it enerts into a lung a few hundred yards out, somethign about airpressure or something"
  54. [2015-05-23 20:16:10]<Azshkazar> *edit* Gold Harvest
  55. [2015-05-23 20:16:19]* Marshal_Cookies anyone who makes there test can tell teh smell, something similar to old compost, is coming from the TOFU unit, which is... leaking a bit, some grisly dark pool forms below it where the matter drips.
  56. [2015-05-23 20:17:02]* Hummel ponders about that smidget of info. "And couldn't that be used as an entrance for the infected? I mean, have the proper measures been taken? Would be damn worthless if one stumbles off the complex only to bump into a horde of those things."
  57. [2015-05-23 20:17:11]<Damnfool> "... what's that?" Brass asks as she points to the deactivated TOFU. "Coming out of it, I mean."
  58. [2015-05-23 20:18:00]* Marshal_Cookies Golden Harvest nods, "I see... so right to the point, I shall then be frank myself. No point in hiding it if you have already picked up the scent, The TOFU's are indeed somewhat of a magnet for trouble, its part of the reason I have refused any talk of trading the units themselves, they are dangerous. All our efforts are currently going to emproving sheilding on them to fix this flaw"
  59. [2015-05-23 20:19:15]* Marshal_Cookies Harvest frows as he looks at the device, "Just... discharge, this is an older unit, its burnt out mostly, hardly any juice left in the old thing. I was just having a look at it, another flaw is there longjevity. They burn out before to long, at best we can get them to run five years before they need replacing".
  60. [2015-05-23 20:19:38]* Emerald_Rose nods. "So... they are attracting the undead. Then what's with the light show?"
  61. [2015-05-23 20:19:47]* Damnfool is now known as Golden_Brass
  62. [2015-05-23 20:20:11]* Nutmeg_Oil looks at the leaking TOFU. "Replacing? Can't you fix them?"
  63. [2015-05-23 20:20:39]* Marshal_Cookies Heartshoes nods, "They could, if it was possible to come in that way, its bolted shut, but if anyone ever left out that way they would open us up to anyone who wanted in, as you would have to cut open the lung, also ruineing the facilities ability to maintain preassure on the artificial enviroments".
  64. [2015-05-23 20:22:17]* Marshal_Cookies Harvest shakes his head, "Many of the parts can be recycled, but not all of them, there are a few precious rare bits that our TOFUs simply cannot work without. As for the 'light show' as you put it, that is a reminant of this facilities past, back when it was known as B2, Biosphere 2, a goverment project. They left quite a history here, and we put there tools to use"
  65. [2015-05-23 20:22:21]<Hummel> "So, if someone panics and exits that way...the whole facility is irreparably ruined? Psht...engineering these days."
  66. [2015-05-23 20:23:28]* Marshal_Cookies Heartshoes laughs, "more like Engineering fourty years ago, this place is a lot older and lesss cutting edge than they would want you to think. Still, that is where I usually keep my tursted guards, tonight however they are in the camera room, better to have eyes on Harvest... I dont trust him".
  67. [2015-05-23 20:24:53]<Golden_Brass> "So what is that stuff dripping out of the TOFU, exactly?" Brass presses again.
  68. [2015-05-23 20:26:10]* Marshal_Cookies Golden harvest pulls out a small tool kit and slides a screwdriver out, sliping it into the side of the machine, "here Ill show you, may take a bit to crack it open, sheilding is of prime concern with these machines, you can continue your questions as I work"
  69. [2015-05-23 20:26:34]* Hummel grins, a bit more relaxed. "From the sound of it, he's jury-rigging something that already existed back then to work...without being aware of the details of it." Hummel offers his judgement. "I mean, how much intel you got on what this was before the good ole' doctor moved in with his gizmos and optional maniacal laughter?"
  70. [2015-05-23 20:28:57]<Azshkazar> "Okay, so you said that the lightshow produced by tools from this facility's past. Exactly what do these tools do?"
  71. [2015-05-23 20:29:07]<Azshkazar> *was produced*
  72. [2015-05-23 20:29:44]* Marshal_Cookies the lift comes to a stop at the second floor and Shoe strings leads Hummel down the hall, "Place has a bad history, changes hoof like noponies buisness. Used to be owned by the Lunar Republic, some sort of testing, they got some bad press and shoved it over to Phonix university who discontiued its used after some more bad ink, the red sticky kind. After wich Hillstorm bought it, for... some reason"
  73. [2015-05-23 20:30:22]<Hummel> "Probably not because of the view."
  74. [2015-05-23 20:30:56]* Marshal_Cookies anyone who failed there vigor tests start to feel a bit drowsy... (-1 to actions)
  75. [2015-05-23 20:32:25]* Marshal_Cookies Harvest continues to work on the TOFU, "They are part of an integrated system of highly sensative equipment the Lunar Republic installed, one that measures a most potent and powerful force, Fear. They were studying it here, tyring to understand how it effects the spiritual world and indeed ponies as well, all very facinating work really"
  76. [2015-05-23 20:32:53]* Golden_Brass gets a sinking feeling in her gut.
  77. [2015-05-23 20:33:53]* Marshal_Cookies "Shame they let it spiral out of control, after a few failed attempts they simply tried to hide what they were truly working on. We of course found out and moved in, with some tinkering it was simple enough to peice together what I needed for my own work"
  78. [2015-05-23 20:34:17]* Bellator yawns, sitting down on the bench, "Ah hell, Ah haven't been up that long have Ah?" she asks nopony in particular
  79. [2015-05-23 20:34:43]<Golden_Brass> "... what kinds of dreams did you have before Judgement Day, Doctor Harvest?" Brass asks.
  80. [2015-05-23 20:36:58]* Emerald_Rose nods. "Hrm...>
  81. [2015-05-23 20:37:02]* Hummel follows Shoe as she goes onward. "I'd like to check the details of whatever's been uncovered about it, newspaper cutouts and all that old stuff...because it does sound like whoever checked out at this place didn't do a good job scrubbing whatever was so problematic. These things tend to come up as soon as people start fussing with stuff they got no clue about."
  82. [2015-05-23 20:37:29]* Nutmeg_Oil narrows his eyes.
  83. [2015-05-23 20:37:44]* Marshal_Cookies Harvest chucklles as the first pannel is removed from the outside of the TOFU, more of the ichor dribbling out staining the table, the smell is terrible now, a potent decaying smell. harvest moves to the next screws, "The same as anypony with true vission, a world were no one is hungry, in short a better world!, and I know what your implying, but I am from the old cast, my genious is my own"
  84. [2015-05-23 20:39:03]* Marshal_Cookies Shoestring leads Hummel into the guard room on teh second floor, three guards watch monitors while another the door, he lifts a gun as the door opens but lowers it at the sight of shoestring, "Feel free to check our computer records then Hummel, Im going to check in with my colts, alright boys, what is the good doctor up to?"
  85. [2015-05-23 20:39:10]<Golden_Brass> Brass' profile shrinks, briefly... before she sits tall, assuming as regal a posture as she can.
  86. [2015-05-23 20:39:28]* Marshal_Cookies Hummel is directred to a computer terminal near the back of the room, the rest of the guards watch Harvest in real time talking to the rest of the party.
  87. [2015-05-23 20:40:04]* Emerald_Rose snorts. "What is that stench?"
  88. [2015-05-23 20:40:59]* Hummel assumes that is implied that the computer would hold what he sought, so he uses it.
  89. [2015-05-23 20:41:23]* Marshal_Cookies for those able to peice together the instrements on the wall pannel behind Harvest they can read a panel that displays the facility from the outside, Similar to a thermal map with color gradients, but they can tell this is not measuring heat, but fear... and the facility is GLOWING with it, this is, if not already, one step from being a deadland.
  90. [2015-05-23 20:42:06]* Emerald_Rose blinks in surprise. "Harvest... what have you done..." She stares openly at the map on the wall.
  91. [2015-05-23 20:42:08]<Golden_Brass> "You've done something horrible, Golden Harvest," Brass says.
  92. [2015-05-23 20:42:52]* Marshal_Cookies Harvest explains as he removes a second pannel, the next to last one, the smell only getting worse, "Decay, im afraid, unavoidable but we hope to delay this effect in future models. and I certainly havent done anythign aweful, I have started something WONDERFUL, these are my TOFU's, and they will feed the world!"
  93. [2015-05-23 20:43:16]* Marshal_Cookies AJ pipes in, "I am afraid to say it but cuz your sounding crazier than a march hair!"
  94. [2015-05-23 20:43:49]* Marshal_Cookies anyone with a raise on there check sees the energy shift and flow upwards, as something rises above the dome....
  95. [2015-05-23 20:44:08]<Nutmeg_Oil> "And how do you reckon' you're gonna control that kind of power?" He asks with his teeth gritted. "You're gonna feed a world of deaders if this keeps going."
  96. [2015-05-23 20:44:57]* Emerald_Rose sighs and shakes her head. "If you continue doing this, you'll turn this region into a Deadland. As a Templar I can't let you continue this anymore. You'll stop what you're doing... or I will stop you."
  97. [2015-05-23 20:45:04]* Marshal_Cookies Hummel has free accest to historys of the Biosphere, mostly in the form of news articals. The NLR experianced two major disasters where ponies were mysteriously murdered during there experiments, and the stories about the incedent with the Phenix University reads more like a slasher flick than anything ells.
  98. [2015-05-23 20:46:31]<Golden_Brass> "... your hamartia has destroyed you, Harvest," Brass says.
  99. [2015-05-23 20:46:42]<Azshkazar> "Uh... doctor, what in Tartarus is that?" Azsh asks Harvest, indicating the energy accumulating above the dome.
  100. [2015-05-23 20:47:04]* Nutmeg_Oil 's eyes widen at the panel. "That can't be good. Hey Emerald, what happened when things went all haywire back then." He draws his pistol. "Something really bad is comin'."
  101. [2015-05-23 20:47:17]* Hummel checks what was the diarchy's take on all of that.
  102. [2015-05-23 20:48:22]<Golden_Brass> "You haven't created fertile ground for food, Harvest!" Brass shouts at him. "You've created fertile ground for terror!"
  103. [2015-05-23 20:48:40]* Marshal_Cookies Hummel reads how the NLR denied any fowl play, however sources leaked a full story at a small time paper that quickly spread like wildfire, many high ranking officials, including military types, lost there jobs over the matter. Follow up notes indicate that the ones who leaked the story were not seen agian afterwards.
  104. [2015-05-23 20:50:14]* Hummel sees if the newspaper mentioned any names he would recognize among the ones who spread such full story, and if the archives would include such story or at least some mentions of it.
  105. [2015-05-23 20:50:25]<Emerald_Rose> "Very, very, bad things." The mare nods to Applejack before looking back at Harvest. "I don't want to hurt you Harvest. Stop what you're doing. Now."
  106. [2015-05-23 20:51:55]* Marshal_Cookies "That", answers Harvest without looking up, "Is just what we needed here, our old systems are waking up for us so we can start restocking our supply, start a new batch of TOFU's running, just in time for our new tradeing partners! A good thing to, a few more moths and we would be down to 5% efficieny from the last batch AJ brought"
  107. [2015-05-23 20:53:14]* Marshal_Cookies AJ takes a step back to joing the rest as she stare blank eyed at her relitive, "Batch.. ah brought? what in the hay are you saying cuz?"
  108. [2015-05-23 20:53:45]* Bellator shakes the drowsiness from her head, listening closely to try to catch up
  109. [2015-05-23 20:53:49]<Nutmeg_Oil> "We gotta get them ponies out of this place! Darn it, Shy won't be able to take'em! If only we didn't loiter about." He peeks to the door behind them. "Can we trust the guards?"
  110. [2015-05-23 20:54:25]<Nutmeg_Oil> *around
  111. [2015-05-23 20:55:08]* Marshal_Cookies Harvest laughts, "Certainly not my honored guest, they are my ponies and they will protect what is in our best interest". the last screw falls out as he smiles again, "Ah, here we go, now you will see why you are SO important to us"
  112. [2015-05-23 20:55:49]<Emerald_Rose> "We can trust the guards in the control booth. Everyone else is Harvests." Emerald looks up at the camera, nodding to it and then looking back at the tofu.
  113. [2015-05-23 20:56:15]* Nutmeg_Oil grits his teeth.
  114. [2015-05-23 20:56:25]<Golden_Brass> "... we have to stop that tower," Brass says.
  115. [2015-05-23 20:57:59]* Emerald_Rose nods. "I don't know how, but there has to be someone here who does."
  116. [2015-05-23 20:58:52]* Marshal_Cookies Harvest explains as he lifts the lid of the device, "TOFU, Tethered Organic Fertilization Unit", a WAVE of the aweful smell its the room as the lid is removed like some twisted and perverted silver dish lid to reveal a pony head, wires and tubes protruding and weaving through the skull, its skin drapes off and the fowl liquid poors from its stump, the jaw weakly snaps at nothing.
  117. [2015-05-23 20:59:27]<Golden_Brass> "Urgh..." Brass winces.
  118. [2015-05-23 20:59:47]* Marshal_Cookies the guards in the observation room wretch, alerting Hummel to the horror on the screen.
  119. [2015-05-23 20:59:53]* Bellator flares out her wings, buffeting back the smell as best she can
  120. [2015-05-23 21:00:20]* Hummel prods his head... sheesus...
  121. [2015-05-23 21:00:29]<Hummel> "What in Celestia's name..."
  122. [2015-05-23 21:01:23]* Emerald_Rose growls and pulls out her katana. "That's enough."
  123. [2015-05-23 21:01:53]<Golden_Brass> "I should've known... I should've known better... I should've known..." Brass mutters, eyes tearing-up.
  124. [2015-05-23 21:02:20]* Bellator nods, "Ah think we've seen enough there Harvest." she says, bending her forelegs in a charging stance
  125. [2015-05-23 21:02:35]<Nutmeg_Oil> "That's just about enough, you no-good piece of Harbinger dirt." He points his gun at Golden_Harvest and fires
  126. [2015-05-23 21:02:53]* Golden_Brass whips around to close the door to the guards outside.
  127. [2015-05-23 21:05:02]* Marshal_Cookies the door slides shut at the press of a button, but who knows how long that will keep out the ponies with keys to it, AJ pukes at the sight, wertching and emptying her stomachs contents onto teh floor.
  128. [2015-05-23 21:05:38]* Marshal_Cookies Heartshoe draws a pistol and points to teh door, "Alright I have seen enough, we need to get down there, open a camera to the halls see if the way is clear!"
  129. [2015-05-23 21:06:03]* Azshkazar recoils from the head
  130. [2015-05-23 21:06:58]* Marshal_Cookies Golden Brasses head explodes from the point blank shot
  131. [2015-05-23 21:07:09]* Marshal_Cookies the head soon follows its creator
  132. [2015-05-23 21:07:14]<Marshal_Cookies> into oblivion.
  133. [2015-05-23 21:07:47]<Golden_Brass> Golden Harvest*
  134. [2015-05-23 21:07:51]* Hummel grits his teeth. "I had a feeling something like that would happen..." He utters before arming himself with his shooter. "Keep calm, he probably got guards posted all around the room...and my buds can handle themselves in a tussle, he'll regret having locked himself with a bunch of angry ferrets."
  135. [2015-05-23 21:09:00]<Marshal_Cookies> *Golden Harvest
  136. [2015-05-23 21:10:50]* Marshal_Cookies Anyone with a general knowledge check can tell that this was a zombies head, further this is what is known as a "Spirit teather", using the corpse as a battery of sorts. From a arcane viewpont Azshkazar can tell what the process has been doing to the corpse, the machine has been expending energy and effectivly terrorforming the local area into what it is now.
  137. [2015-05-23 21:11:10]* Bellator stands guard at the door, ready to pounce on the first guard to enter
  138. [2015-05-23 21:12:11]* Marshal_Cookies the cameras show a hall full of guards, and a single medic next to a worker pushing a operationg table just outside the door. no one inside can see this however, just hummel, Shoestrigs, and the gaurds with them.
  139. [2015-05-23 21:12:53]* Golden_Brass gets a grenade from her pack.
  140. [2015-05-23 21:13:10]* Hummel stares at Shoestrings. "We have no other option but to let the infected in, otherwise everybody is just going to the meatgrinder!"
  141. [2015-05-23 21:17:39]* Marshal_Cookies Hummel and Shoestring are interupted, as guards sycle through teh channels, pointing, "Look Miss!", On two screens are two diffrent locations, on one in a lab ponies work to operate a machine that flashes and glows with light similar to the one described happening a month ago, in another a pony is being pushed out of medical, a mare who is unocious and straped to a gurny as she is moved toward the labs.
  142. [2015-05-23 21:18:28]* Emerald_Rose nods to the others. "How bloody are we going to make this?"
  143. [2015-05-23 21:18:46]<Golden_Brass> "I have a Cryo Grenade," Brass says.
  144. [2015-05-23 21:19:10]* Golden_Brass does, indeed, have it in her mouth. Or hoof.
  145. [2015-05-23 21:19:19]* Bellator shakes her head, "Ah ain't aimin' to kill 'em, just knock 'em out. Ah can't imagine they knew the truth 'bout those things."
  146. [2015-05-23 21:21:17]<Nutmeg_Oil> "I ain't got no love for these good for nothing scum, but we got to get the good ponies out first. Where's Terra?" He turns towards the door. "Then deader heads are energizin' the things. What a danged messed-up wreck!"
  147. [2015-05-23 21:22:33]<Azshkazar> "We can't leave yet, we have to destroy the rest of these devices before this place is terrorformed!"
  148. [2015-05-23 21:24:41]* Marshal_Cookies AJ whipes her muzzle, "Buck em, you heard what he said a while ago? The batch I brought MY INJURED SOLIDERS! He said he couldnt save them, one guess what the fresh batch up there in his twisted guarden is using... I trusted him, twernt no relitive of mine!"
  149. [2015-05-23 21:24:44]* Marshal_Cookies she kicks the corpse
  150. [2015-05-23 21:24:52]* Marshal_Cookies Risky just prepares her shotgun
  151. [2015-05-23 21:25:54]<Emerald_Rose> "Alright, primary goal is destroying that antenna. Don't let anything get in our way." The mare nods to the others.
  152. [2015-05-23 21:26:31]<Azshkazar> "Works for me."
  153. [2015-05-23 21:27:40]* Golden_Brass nods, solemn.
  154. [2015-05-23 21:27:46]<Nutmeg_Oil> "Time to make things right." He holds his smoking gun firmly. "Miss Applejack, we're gonna need your help too. We need all help we can get now."
  155. [2015-05-23 21:28:07]* Bellator nods, "Ya'll know how that tech works more than Ah do, ya just leave anypony outside to me, Ah'll get ya all the time ya need."
  156. [2015-05-23 21:29:10]* Hummel waves at Shoestring and the others to put a move on it. "They'll try to reanimate that one, there's no telling what could happen if that goes...I'll be with you in a second...I'll tear out the lung and ruin the facility for once, try to get to the airship pronto after you're done." He huffs and sets his route to the lower recesses.
  157. [2015-05-23 21:33:38]* Bellator flares out her wings and bends her knees, ready to jump and pounce on an unfortunate guard
  158. [2015-05-23 21:34:00]* Marshal_Cookies The door opens to the office, revealing a collection of guards with raised weapons posed to attack, one seems to be ready to chuck in a gernade of sorts.
  159. [2015-05-23 21:43:29]* Bellator jumps out of the room with a kick of her wings, kicking out with a forehoof onto the grenadier's gut, knocking him out of the fight
  160. [2015-05-23 21:49:35]* Emerald_Rose slides out into the hallway, rose petals starting to swirl around her in a storm. "I am Emerald Rose, a Templar. Stand down or I will stop you."
  161. [2015-05-23 21:58:21]* Marshal_Cookies the medic and worker flee at the sight of the bat pony while a nearby guard unloads a deadly shot, his damnation rifle cracking loudly waking up anyone nearby with its roar, blood splatering as it solidly connects with the bat pony. Another shoots at Emerald rose but is buffeted by rosepettals and misses, the rest of the guards dip and duck backwards trying to put distance between them and the mare.
  162. [2015-05-23 22:02:03]* Golden_Brass darts out of the room and engages the guard flanking Bellator and Emerald_Rose, brass-shod hooves making to trip the poor sap, swipe at his eyes and otherwise confound him.
  163. [2015-05-23 22:09:44]* Marshal_Cookies Risky rushes out of the room, leaping over Bellator and ducking low, unloading a barrel of her sawed off, "LEAVE THE HELP ALONE!"
  164. [2015-05-23 22:10:14]* Marshal_Cookies AJ charges out and lets out a burst of 50 cal DEATH, which shreds another guard, "TAKE THAT YA BUCKERS!"
  165. [2015-05-23 22:10:37]* Marshal_Cookies The friendly guards and Shoestring are off... doing somethign ells.
  166. [2015-05-23 22:15:25]* Nutmeg_Oil dashes out of the gun, holding an undersized pea-shooter for the situation. "Darn it..." He mutters, taking two shots at the guard still pointing his gun their way.
  167. [2015-05-23 22:17:15]* Golden_Brass had to slap a guard, so Nutmeg_Oil is certainly not the worst off.
  168. [2015-05-23 22:17:55]<Nutmeg_Oil> *dashes out of the room
  169. [2015-05-23 22:21:27]<Nutmeg_Oil> Both shots hit home and the guard falls, bleeding. The pea-shooter was doing good today, he feels more confident for his odds. Then he thinks of something. "What if they decide to use one of these bandit heads instead?"
  170. [2015-05-23 22:26:16]* Azshkazar mutters a chant as she steps out of the room, two bottlecaps floating in front of her glowing with sickly green energy. The bottlecaps fly in opposite directions, striking the remaining guards.
  171. [2015-05-23 22:27:08]* Marshal_Cookies all guards are now paste, the guard detail here has now suffered a harsh drop off, the medic and woker are still running away down the hall
  172. [2015-05-23 22:27:30]* Golden_Brass pants as her altercation with the guard is ended...

  178. [2015-05-23 22:28:23]* Emerald_Rose looks back and over at Bellator. She trots over. "Hold still, I can fix the wound quickly... I hope. I'm still new at this..." The mare stops and focuses for a moment as she tries to heal the wound.
  179. [2015-05-23 22:28:24]* Bellator collapses to her knees, clutching the large hole made in her chest
  180. [2015-05-23 22:28:39]* Nutmeg_Oil picks one of the loaded guard guns and flies after the other workers, shouting. "Where is Terra?!"

  184. [2015-05-23 22:31:37]* Golden_Brass also claims a weapon, just to be sure she isn't unarmed.
  185. [2015-05-23 22:31:37]* Marshal_Cookies the worker and medic stops and cowers, holding hooves up, "Dont shoot!"

  192. [2015-05-23 22:35:24]* Pony_42428 has quit (Ping timeout: 121 seconds)
  193. [2015-05-23 22:35:48]* Emerald_Rose walks over and focuses on the wound, applying her hooves over it. For a moment, rose petals form under her hooves and over the wound, but then disintegrate away into nothingness. The mare releases her breath, panting slightly. "Sorry Bellator... I can't get the magic to work right." The mare shakes her head. "I can take a moment to bandage the wound normally if you want."
  194. [2015-05-23 22:36:27]<Golden_Brass> "We were just defending ourselves!" Brass yells to the worker and medic. "Golden Harvest was a monster!"
  195. [2015-05-23 22:37:01]* Bellator "Ah... Ah'll survive..." she says, clenching her eyes shut, "Lets just get the job done..."

  197. [2015-05-23 22:37:56]* Marshal_Cookies the medic and the worker are held up by Nutmeg
  198. [2015-05-23 22:38:05]* Nutmeg_Oil points the gun at them workers. It's heavier than he is used to, it's hard to hold it firmly. "Alright you two, ah might give y'all a chance and trust that y'all didn't want this madness. But y'all gotta help me. Where is Terra, the scientist?"
  199. [2015-05-23 22:38:59]* Marshal_Cookies "She is down in the basment, they were preping her for... well when they have the spirit ready to bind to he", he sobs, "It was terrible but Harvest made us do it!"
  200. [2015-05-23 22:40:09]* Marshal_Cookies "I can show you where they are!" says the medic
  201. [2015-05-23 22:40:16]* Emerald_Rose nods. "Alright, if you don't want the bandages..." The mare looks at the guards and shakes her head. "Such a waste..." She walks down the hall toward the worker and the medic, coming up behind Nutmeg. The rose petals fall away into nothingness as she says "Redeem yourselves. Take us there. Now."
  202. [2015-05-23 22:40:32]* Marshal_Cookies Hummel can easily find his way to the sewer system if he likes, its not even guarded tonight
  203. [2015-05-23 22:41:19]<Nutmeg_Oil> "Son of a bloated maggot!" He takes a deep breath. "We got a hurt pony there. Put that thing to good use and help her while we get there."
  204. [2015-05-23 22:41:38]* Hummel makes his way specifically into the lung...or whatever it was, the delicate stepping stone that held the biodome working
  205. [2015-05-23 22:42:14]* Golden_Brass sets her gun down after doing the math and figuring she'll probably be less effective with the weapon than without.
  206. [2015-05-23 22:42:23]<Marshal_Cookies> 1d8+1 medical attention
  207. [2015-05-23 22:42:46]* Bellator gets to her hooves, her wings hanging limply by her sides as she walks over to Nutmeg_Oil
  208. [2015-05-23 22:44:12]* Marshal_Cookies the two poines are all to eager to aid the group, swearing that the choice to act against you was not there own, they tend to Bellator expertly on teh ride down to the basment.

  212. [2015-05-23 22:46:51]* Marshal_Cookies the lift stops soon as you arrive at the basment
  213. [2015-05-23 22:47:10]* Emerald_Rose smiles to the pair. "Are there any guards we need to worry about down here?"
  214. [2015-05-23 22:47:15]* Golden_Brass takes a deep breath, steeling herself.
  215. [2015-05-23 22:47:33]* Marshal_Cookies the medic turns down a hall and points, "Past the morgue and the medical station, its the labs", gunshots can be heard coming form that direction, as well as a loud sound of machines warming up.
  216. [2015-05-23 22:48:26]* Bellator swivels her ears in the direction of the sound, "Ah hell, no time to waste now. Double time it!" she says, racing towards the source
  217. [2015-05-23 22:48:31]* Marshal_Cookies after marching headlong for a while Hummel arrives at a large metal door with multiple bars protecting it, it reads "Lung A and B"
  218. [2015-05-23 22:49:06]* Golden_Brass draws a grenade and swiftly follows after Bellator.
  219. [2015-05-23 22:49:10]* Emerald_Rose nods to Bellator and runs after him. "Time to stop this horror!"
  220. [2015-05-23 22:49:31]* Nutmeg_Oil straps the rifle to his back, he can wield the pistol better. He follows the group. "There got to be a place for the good ponies to hole up so I can fly them away"
  221. [2015-05-23 22:50:05]* Hummel looks for controls or something he can reach to actually open the goddamn airbags
  222. [2015-05-23 22:50:58]* Marshal_Cookies there is a simple control pannel to unlock the door, teh bars should automatically slide apart
  223. [2015-05-23 22:51:03]* Nutmeg_Oil really hopes Shy is okay outside.
  224. [2015-05-23 22:53:57]* Marshal_Cookies the doors to the morgue and medical station are open, bloody tracks and trials lead from both towards what appears to be an incenerator
  225. [2015-05-23 22:54:06]<Marshal_Cookies> ahead the gunfire stops
  226. [2015-05-23 22:54:45]* Hummel unlocks it, and then checks the general area for anything remotely piercing (furniture) he could throw at them lungs.
  227. [2015-05-23 22:55:17]* Bellator continues racing to the scene, the narrow halls stoping any chance of flying down the halls
  228. [2015-05-23 22:55:47]* Marshal_Cookies Above is a large thick hide like membrane, high above Hummels head, there is a walkway that leads up to it.
  229. [2015-05-23 22:57:19]<Marshal_Cookies> an ungodly whail peirces the knight as there is a sudden buckling and shake as soemthing discharges above
  230. [2015-05-23 22:57:37]* Marshal_Cookies the labs are a mess of dead guards and scientists
  231. [2015-05-23 22:58:11]<Golden_Brass> "... oh no," Brass says.
  232. [2015-05-23 22:58:17]<Marshal_Cookies> only two ponies remain, Terra who is uncosious on a table, and one of Heartshoes guards who quickly lowers his smoking weapon and identifies himself, "hey hey im with you guys!"
  233. [2015-05-23 22:58:24]* Nutmeg_Oil flies just behind Bellator. "Ah ain't sure ah like that silence- "
  234. [2015-05-23 22:59:05]* Marshal_Cookies Hummel spots an emergency release lever that will automaticaly peirce the lung
  235. [2015-05-23 22:59:06]* Bellator looks around at the mess, twitching her ears at the noise, "Ah don't think this is an improvement there cap'."
  236. [2015-05-23 22:59:19]* Nutmeg_Oil lands and skids to a stop. "Terra! Is she alright?"
  237. [2015-05-23 23:00:04]* Emerald_Rose follows Bellator around, grumbling as she looks up toward the sound. "That's not good, we need to put a stop to that."
  238. [2015-05-23 23:00:33]* Marshal_Cookies the guard is wounded and leans on a gerny, the lab itself is a slaughter house, with crule and aweful looking equipmet all around, "No idea, maybe drugged, not sure, no pony was in the mood to answer our questions, whatever they were doing in the other room was to late for us to stop"
  239. [2015-05-23 23:00:35]<Golden_Brass> "We need to stop that antenna!" Brass says.
  240. [2015-05-23 23:00:51]<Golden_Brass> "Or is it too late..."
  241. [2015-05-23 23:01:01]<Nutmeg_Oil> "What in the world was that sound?!" His eyes widen. "We gotta get out of here soon. Darn it!"
  242. [2015-05-23 23:01:32]* Hummel thinks about pulling the lever...for five seconds, then he goes and pulls the damn thing. The most important bit is delivering the one-liner prior to it. "Looks like you just run out of breath!"
  243. [2015-05-23 23:01:47]<Nutmeg_Oil> "Hey!" He shouts to the medic back there. "Help Terra here!"
  244. [2015-05-23 23:02:21]* Marshal_Cookies whoever passes the notice check hears the radio on the guard, which is turned down low, reports are coming in from teh wall, teh defenses are, at long last, failing, and undead are starting to enter the compound.
  245. [2015-05-23 23:02:44]* Marshal_Cookies the medic rushes and starts to apply first aid, muttering that he knew this was a rotten place to work.
  246. [2015-05-23 23:03:36]* Marshal_Cookies Teras eyes flutter as a dose of mild drug are shot into her veine, she groans but dose not speak.
  247. [2015-05-23 23:04:33]* Bellator looks to the radio, "Ah hell, we're out of time cap'!" she yells, "Get her an' anypony ya can to the ship!"
  248. [2015-05-23 23:04:44]* Marshal_Cookies the Lung emplodes as inplanted razerwire shreds it to peices, a low moan comes from the other side, Hummel can see a small group of aproching undead, he has enough time to exit the lung back towards the Dome or out into the wasteland
  249. [2015-05-23 23:05:28]* Emerald_Rose nods as she sees Tera starting to recover. "Alright, let's get out of here. I think this place is lost..." The mare shakes her head.
  250. [2015-05-23 23:05:46]* Marshal_Cookies the Guard points towards the water teratment area, "Wait, can the ship take all of us? Shoestring is outside with a few more already getting to the ship! they stoped to raid the supplies. But there is another way out through the lung!"
  251. [2015-05-23 23:05:59]* Emerald_Rose looks at Nutmeg. "Could the ship get overloaded for a short trip?"
  252. [2015-05-23 23:06:06]* Hummel decides to run back into the dome! There were still good ponies trapped inside, running away wasn't an option! The stallion backtrack his way to meet the others.
  253. [2015-05-23 23:07:05]<Nutmeg_Oil> "There's way too many, ah don't know!" He grits his teeth. He turns towards the exit. "But we gotta figure it out fast."
  254. [2015-05-23 23:07:36]* Marshal_Cookies Hummel can run into teh rest out in the hall outside the lift
  255. [2015-05-23 23:07:44]* Marshal_Cookies lights start to flicker in the building as power starts to fail
  256. [2015-05-23 23:08:08]<Nutmeg_Oil> "Where's Hummel and Applejack?"
  257. [2015-05-23 23:08:19]* Hummel nods to them. "We should scamper out yesterday, I just destroyed the lungs. Now the whole dome is going to wreck!"
  258. [2015-05-23 23:08:43]* Bellator follows Nutmeg_Oil, motiong for the medic to grab Terra and the cart, "Ya don't need to worry 'bout me cap', get everypony ya can out!" she says, fluttering her wings
  259. [2015-05-23 23:09:11]<Nutmeg_Oil> The tension catches up with him. "Alright, lets hurry!" He counts the ponies in his mind
  260. [2015-05-23 23:09:34]* Nutmeg_Oil heads back to the lift
