  1. [2012-05-04 19:29:14] <icekatze> 12Blue Team, Episode 12 is beginning.

  3. [2012-05-04 19:35:10] <icekatze> 12The early morning sun rises behind scattered clouds, painting the world in soft, patchy shade. As the moon slowly laid down to rest below the horizon, the sense of unease that had been hovering around Dodge Junction since the team arrived seems to lessen, if only just a little bit. Ponies are starting to go out and about their daily routines, though the small groups of fillies and colts are still more interested in gawking at the
  4. [2012-05-04 19:35:10] <icekatze> strange newcomers than playing their usual games...

  8. [2012-05-04 19:36:20] |<-- Fumbles has left irc.canternet.org (Killed (NickServ (GHOST command used by TenMihara)))
  9. [2012-05-04 19:39:11] * Xavi is now pacing outside, wondering what to do next. It was difficult for the poor Zebra, things didn't make much sense after all.
  10. [2012-05-04 19:39:26] =-= TenMihara is now known as Fumbles
  11. [2012-05-04 19:40:03] * Sky_Shine is helping out with the sick and hurt ponies
  12. [2012-05-04 19:40:15] <icekatze> 12Up above in the pegasus cloudpost, Sergeant Evening Rain watches Wind Chaser trot away to gather supplies and turns instead to Gino. "Um... you. You're with the group that, um... you're dealing with the ooze right?"
  13. [2012-05-04 19:40:26] =-= Arcane_Scroll[A] is now known as Arcane_Scroll
  14. [2012-05-04 19:41:19] * Gino shrugs a bit. "I just started traveling with them, you know? Sure as hell didn't sign on *because* of the ooze, but yeah, I guess you could say that."
  15. [2012-05-04 19:46:30] <icekatze> 12Evening Rain nods and struggles a bit to find the right words "If you're a friend of, I mean, if Private... that is, if Wind Chaser trusts you, then I'd like to think I can trust you too. The Mayor has some valid concerns, but I think this isn't something we can turn our backs on. I... Ice Break wouldn't have wanted that, at least, I don't think. So I'm going to let you use one of our sky wagons, but... you'll try not to lose it
  16. [2012-05-04 19:46:31] <icekatze> won't you?"
  17. [2012-05-04 19:48:05] * Gino waves a claw reassuringly, or at least in a manner he thinks is reassuring. "Don't you worry about it, we'll have it back to you in as good a shape as you lent it to us. Make the whole trip a lot faster, too, so we can clear out that ooze a whole lot sooner."
  18. [2012-05-04 19:51:00] * icekatze 12The colts and fillies on the street have made a game out of trying to follow Xavi without being noticed by him or their caretakers, one of which seem to be wandering around the streets with a look of frustration on his face. Occasionally one of them dares another to walk up closer to the strange looking zebra. They usually get a few steps out of the shadows before they go running back.
  19. [2012-05-04 19:52:28] * Xavi ignores the small ponies and continues pacing through the town.
  20. [2012-05-04 19:53:20] * icekatze 12There isn't much Sky Shine is able to do for the ooze afflicted ponies. The quarantine area is already well under construction, with a moat and several canisters of flammable oil standing by. Those ponies injured in the recent raid are at least happy to have the company.
  21. [2012-05-04 19:54:45] * Thunderbird had finished making her purchases and now she sat outside the General Store, smiling softly in simple enjoyment of the sunrise and pony-watched while she waited for her friends to return.
  22. [2012-05-04 19:58:54] <icekatze> 12Evening Rain doesn't look terribly reassured by Gino's gesture, but she doesn't seem any more concerned than she was a moment ago either. "I, um... I'm not sure if I should even mention this, but since we are having trouble finding food and all, if you think you could find. That is, if you should happen to find something along the way, maybe you could bring it back? Its not the most pressing concern though..." After a short but
  23. [2012-05-04 19:58:54] <icekatze> awkward pause, she motions for you to follow "The wagon is over here, we were just trying to fix a few of the dents it took during the crash."
  24. [2012-05-04 20:00:15] * Gino nods his acknowledgement of the food situation reassuringly. "I'm not a whiz at fixin' stuff, but maybe I could help out a bit around here?" he also says, trying to find some way to be of use.
  25. [2012-05-04 20:01:23] <icekatze> 12A few dents is an understatement, as is the term "wagon." It looks like it was once a flying tank, but its armor plating has been crumpled up like it was little more than paper... at least the plates that are still attached. At least the undercarriage seems mostly intact. Evening Rain shakes her head "Don't worry about it. It may not look like much, but its still sky worthy."
  26. [2012-05-04 20:04:36] =-= Shadow is now known as Shadow_AFK
  27. [2012-05-04 20:08:09] * Lucidity joins Thunderbird, having had her fill of being a lantern. Surely there is something more helpful she can be doing.
  28. [2012-05-04 20:09:51] * Thunderbird turns her head and smiles at the alicorn. "Princess, are you any good with electronics? I have a couple projects and would appreciate your help with them."
  29. [2012-05-04 20:11:03] * Gino looks at the reportedly still useful wreck and just kind of... looks at it, before putting a reassuring claw on Evening Rain's shoulder. "Yeah, that's waaaay beyond anything I can help with, but I happen to know that a couple of that group I came in with knows how to fix up a thing right quick."
  30. [2012-05-04 20:15:16] <icekatze> 12Evening rain frowns a little bit, "I think we've done a reasonable adequate job fixing it so far, especially given the extenuating circumstances. But, um... I admit it is not up to specifications by any means."
  31. [2012-05-04 20:19:24] * icekatze 12Green Sister approaches like a shadow and sits herself down near Lucidity and Thunderbird, and while she seems content to sit silently and watch the clouds too, some of her thoughts bubble up to the surface. "We must not interrupt. They will not think highly of us, but they should, we should be respected."

  33. [2012-05-04 20:41:53] * Lucidity contemplates. "We would be pleased to lend our assistance."
  34. [2012-05-04 20:42:42] |<-- Ditzy-Doo has left irc.canternet.org (Ping timeout: 121 seconds)
  35. [2012-05-04 20:42:44] * Lucidity wraps a wing around her Green Sister. "What troubles you?"
  36. [2012-05-04 20:45:54] * Thunderbird smiles at both alicorns, her expression gaining a hint of concern for Green Sister. "Thank you, Princess. I would really appreciate it." Not wanting to intrude just yet, she waits for Green Sister to answer Lucidity.
  37. [2012-05-04 20:48:42] * Xavi wonders where the rest are and goes off to find them.
  38. [2012-05-04 20:49:11] <icekatze> 12Green Sister relaxes a little and leans up against Lucidity. '12Troubled? Are we troubled?' 12 Her voice is still quiet, "We are not sure... about many things. We remember we used to accomplish tasks without the help of others, but now we are uncertain. Do the ponies here need our guidance? That is what we would have done, we would have shown them the true path..."

  46. [2012-05-04 20:57:41] * Lucidity find's Green Sister's concerns echoing with her own.
  47. [2012-05-04 20:59:41] * Thunderbird murmurs almost apologetically concerning the Spritebot, "I've...kinda seen this sort of thing before. There was a domestic robot in Stable 34 that was always having issues with its guidance. We finally tracked the problem down to a bad bearing in the gyros."
  48. [2012-05-04 21:00:34] * Lucidity sighs. "We... I am uncertain at times myself. We follow our new mother now, The One Who Helps. These ponies need Her guidence... but so do we."
  49. [2012-05-04 21:02:59] <icekatze> 12the green alicorn frowns a little "To help... That is what we wish now." her voice sounds a little, but not uncertain. "Should we stay? Are we helping?"
  50. [2012-05-04 21:06:22] <icekatze> ((a little bit distant*))
  51. [2012-05-04 21:07:30] * Lucidity looks at Thunderbird and the spritebot. "We are... waiting for our opportunity to help. It will come soon. This is, I think, 'resting'."
  52. [2012-05-04 21:08:27] <icekatze> 12With the appropriate tools, Thunderbird finally manages to get the outer casing off of the spritebot. Once past the locking mechanism, the interior is much more straight forward, and it isn't long before the sputtering, crackling noise of static cuts out with a snap and is replaced by the the sound of some distant murmuring voices.
  53. [2012-05-04 21:09:53] * Thunderbird smiles at Lucidity then lowers her head to peer at the spritebot in a way that might look a bit like a bow as she replies, "Green Princess, I respect you, but from what Princess Lucidity has said, you need the help of the new mother before you can be a proper help to others. Oooh...quiet please for just a second." She then hushes to listen carefully.
  54. [2012-05-04 21:10:04] * Lucidity watches, studying what Thunderbird does with the spritebot, trying to learn.
  55. [2012-05-04 21:10:08] <icekatze> 12Through the Spritebot's speakers, you hear a youthful, masculine voice. "Hello? Hello? Can you hear me? Who's there?"
  56. [2012-05-04 21:11:58] =-= Arcane_Scroll is now known as Arcane_Scroll[A]
  57. [2012-05-04 21:12:00] * Lucidity earperks.
  58. [2012-05-04 21:12:00] <Wind_Chaser> me returns from his errands, a new magic rifle protuding out of one of his saddlebags. He grumbles, "The things I had to say to make somepony part with one of those, wasn't even using it..." He would speak further but notices the attention focused on the voice from the spritebot, and so lands next to the alicorns, in wait, looking curious.
  59. [2012-05-04 21:12:29] * Thunderbird blinks then answers the voice, "Hello? I go by the name Thunderbird. I'm a buffalo. Who are you?"

You hear the voice yelling, though he has stepped away from the microphone and his voice sounds distant now. "Velvet! Velvet Remedy? We've scored a connection on the WC2 bot, there's someone on the other end right now." You can faintly hear the sound of hooves trotting across stone as somepony else approaches the
  63. [2012-05-04 21:17:25] * icekatze microphone.
  64. [2012-05-04 21:18:40] * Xavi finishes looking for the others and trots over just in time to hear the voice. Not that he understands much of what going on.
  65. [2012-05-04 21:18:46] * Sky_Shine moves from pony to pony checking if they need anything and seeing if she can help them feel better
  66. [2012-05-04 21:21:05] * Wind_Chaser fuzzles Sky_Shine dismissively as he leans closer to listen to the ongoing conversation. Did he just call for... Velvet Remedy? Wow, wouldn't the surprises cease any time soon?
  67. [2012-05-04 21:22:00] * Thunderbird tilts her head to one side as she dubiously responds. "Sure, I can wait a bit..." And then she realizes the person on the other end (who is probably not named Ohthankcelestia!) has stepped away. "Hello?" she calls again at the sound of approaching hooves.
  68. [2012-05-04 21:22:27] <icekatze> 12You can hear some more hushed whispering right before a different voice pours out of the speakers like silk. "Ahem... Good morning, Thunderbird was it? It is a pleasure to meet you. On behalf of the New Canterlot Republic, I would like to personally thank you for saving Wonderful's life..."
  69. [2012-05-04 21:24:09] * Lucidity freezes a moment, the stands up as if at attention.
  70. [2012-05-04 21:26:10] -->| Kashin ([email protected]) has joined #falloutequestriapnp
  71. [2012-05-04 21:26:11] <icekatze> 12"You may call me Velvet Remedy, and I have been informed that you have some friends with you as well, Thunderbird? I would very much like to meet them as well."
  72. [2012-05-04 21:27:44] <icekatze> 12You hear her voice talking to another pony on the other side faintly in the background "Are you sure there's no way to clean up the picture? I can hardly see anything." Followed by a "The problem is on their side I think."
  73. [2012-05-04 21:28:09] * Wind_Chaser would like to ask for this Wonderful, but he knows better than interrupt a conversation, and lets Thunderbird talk. Besides, this was already heading in a very interesting direction by itself.
  74. [2012-05-04 21:29:52] * Xavi trots up to the bot, looking at it oddly. "Is it bad?" He asks he group.
  75. [2012-05-04 21:30:27] * Thunderbird hesitates, clearly confused by the gratitude. "Er...thank you, Miss Velvet Remedy, but I'm not sure..." A sudden thought strikes her. "Oh, wait, is that the name of the mare we saved last night? She was badly hurt, so I don't think we ever got her name." Her voice warms as she nods adding, "Yes, I do have friends. I hear that's a rare thing in the wasteland, so I guess I'm
  76. [2012-05-04 21:30:27] * Thunderbird really lucky. And such fascinating friends! There's a pegasus, a zebra - that was him just now - and a zebrasus, a griffon, and three Princesses!"
  77. [2012-05-04 21:33:00] * Thunderbird in an aside to Xavi answers, "I'm pretty sure this is not bad at all, but thank you for watching out for us."
  78. [2012-05-04 21:34:29] * Sky_Shine looks at Wind_Chaser "Hey Wind when do you think i will see mom?"
  79. [2012-05-04 21:35:25] * Lucidity whinnies. "Mother?"
  80. [2012-05-04 21:35:57] * Wind_Chaser whispers at Sky_Shine, "Apparently, quite soon."
  81. [2012-05-04 21:36:07] <icekatze> 12The sound of her soft laughter is warm and practically musical, "Yes, I would say that makes you very lucky." The warmth in her voice fades a little bit and she takes on a more serious tone again. "Yes, Wonderful is her name and..."
  82. [2012-05-04 21:36:52] * Sky_Shine looks quite happy with what Wind_Chaser "Yes my sister that is what i asked."
  83. [2012-05-04 21:37:17] * Xavi taps the bot skeptically. "It's a robot, they not usually good."
  84. [2012-05-04 21:37:40] * Lucidity looks to Thunderbird, "Can she hear all we say?"
  85. [2012-05-04 21:39:03] * Thunderbird nods to Lucidity. "I presume so." To Xavi she explains, "I think this one has been reprogrammed by someone who knew what they were doing."
  86. [2012-05-04 21:39:47] <icekatze> 12She pauses when she hears Lucidity speak, then tries to continue on, her voice taking on a little bit of a waiver that slowly works itself out as she goes. "... and she was on a very important mission for me. Yes, I can hear you. Lucidity, is that truly you?"
  87. [2012-05-04 21:39:49] * Xavi still looks skeptical

  89. [2012-05-04 21:42:15] * Thunderbird sits up on her haunches and clops her forehooves together. "Oh goody, you two know each other! Yes, that's Princess Lucidity, and there's a little Princess named Sky_Shine and a big Princess they call Green Sister because she does not remember her name."
  90. [2012-05-04 21:42:53] * Lucidity looks a little shaken. "We are here, Mother. We saw a caravan under attack and tried to aid, but we were captured. We have now escaped, along with the caravan ponies. But many are gravely ill."
  91. [2012-05-04 21:43:36] * Lucidity nickers and adds, "There is a Green Sister with us and... there is someone with us You must meet."

  101. [2012-05-04 21:55:12] * Lucidity chuckles. "Neigh, Little Sister. Your Mother is calling to us through the bot."
  102. [2012-05-04 21:55:26] |<-- Lucidity has left irc.canternet.org (Quit: http://www.mibbit.com ajax IRC Client)
  103. [2012-05-04 21:59:02] <icekatze> 12There is a muted gasp on the other end of the connection "My dear..." You can faintly hear her talking in the background again "Am I seeing this picture correctly? She looks like a little filly." at Thunderbird's question, she returns to the foreground again. "Why yes of course, I am a pony. I am speaking to you from a long distance away. Little Sister, is that your name?"
  104. [2012-05-04 21:59:53] <Sky_Shine> "No my name is Sky Shine but my sisters and everyone else call me little sister and other stuff."

  109. [2012-05-04 22:04:07] * Thunderbird belatedly realizes the pony on the other end can see them through the spritebot as well as talk to them. "Oh, so when I re-soldered that connection...well, I do hope the spritebot's camera is getting my good side. First impressions are important," she murmurs to herself.
  110. [2012-05-04 22:05:03] <icekatze> 12Velvet Remedy's voice returns to the fore, "Well I think Sky Shine is a lovely name. You won't mind if I call you that do you?"
  111. [2012-05-04 22:06:35] <Sky_Shine> "Not if you truly are my mom."
  112. [2012-05-04 22:08:43] * Thunderbird listens with great interest to this pony who so impressed Princess Lucidity that she follows her faithfully.
  113. [2012-05-04 22:11:23] <icekatze> 12Velvet Remedy chuckles "I think I understand. Why don't we get you to *sksshhh* ty first and..." A burst of static pours out of the speakers for a moment before stopping. You hear the operator pony saying something in a rushed voice on the other end "We're getting interference *shskkkst* something I think *shskkktsh* enclave is..." Velvet cuts him off and returns to the foreground speaking quickly "I'm afraid I don't have much
  114. [2012-05-04 22:11:23] <icekatze> *shhkkt* please be a dear and stay safe while *shhkkkt* ...ucidity will look after you until *shkkkt*"

  121. [2012-05-04 22:15:49] * Thunderbird makes a quick check of the spritebot then shakes her head. "The equipment is good, but there's something scrambling the signal."
  122. [2012-05-04 22:18:49] * Wind_Chaser cocks his eyebrows, was the Enclave really coming to hacking spritebots or disturbing signals now? That was cetrainly new. "Well, I guess it was nice for y'all to speak to your mother again," he says to the alicorns, "but I suppose that will have to wait for later. " ...

  125. [2012-05-04 22:32:25] <Wind_Chaser> "Eh, as long as it's fast. Besides, I think you could stay here with her, Sky_Shine. Just to be on the safe side."
  126. [2012-05-04 22:33:07] <Sky_Shine> "Stay here why?"

  131. [2012-05-04 22:34:33] <Wind_Chaser> "It's not exactly a laisure trip we're havin' here, so.. I think you might want to keep Wonderful company, and maybe also give Doc a hoo if ya like."
  132. [2012-05-04 22:36:41] <Sky_Shine> "But I'll be here alone without my sisters."
  133. [2012-05-04 22:38:25] * Wind_Chaser eyes the other alicorns, guess it's up to them what to do with their little sister.
  134. [2012-05-04 22:39:47] * Thunderbird shrugs. "So what did you want us to see, Little Princess?"
  135. [2012-05-04 22:40:44] <icekatze> 12The shutters to the infirmary remain closed, keeping the place shrouded in a dim light even though the sun is now shining brightly outside. Wonderful is resting on a cot up against the far wall, covered in a ratty old blanket.
  136. [2012-05-04 22:41:07] <Sky_Shine> "Lets see if Wonderful is awake"
  137. [2012-05-04 22:43:02] <icekatze> 12She stirs in her sleep at the sound of your voices and rolls over. Not awake, but not in a coma either.
  138. [2012-05-04 22:44:26] * Thunderbird smiles at Wonderful's movements. "I think that's what's usually called 'a good sign', yes?"
  139. [2012-05-04 22:45:10] * Gino , not really having any connection to the Spritebot, the voices on the other side, or the alicorns in a general sense, decides to spend the time asking around town to learn more about the zebra lands they're headed to next.

  143. [2012-05-04 22:51:34] <icekatze> 12Gino, as you ask around, different ponies point you in the direction of the so called "scavenging parties." Groups of ponies who's job it usually is, when not under threat from raiders, to go out and collect junk to trade. While they're near the boarder of the zebra lands, they don't usually make salvage runs there anymore. However, some of the older ponies used to frequently travel into the zebra lands and you eventually get poin
  144. [2012-05-04 22:51:35] <icekatze> in their direction...
  145. [2012-05-04 22:53:01] * Sky_Shine checks Wonderful real quick to make sure she is nice and comfy and nothing is wrong
  146. [2012-05-04 22:54:47] <icekatze> 12The great steel doors of the bunker are opened only slightly, just enough for a pony or a griffin to get through. You're led down a long and faintly lit corridor until you reach a cavernous room. There is a single tree standing in the middle with budding leaves, and salvaged stadium lights providing illumination. A group of ponies is relaxing on the dirt around it, one of which is the old scavenger you were pointed to...
  147. [2012-05-04 22:56:30] * icekatze 12in the infirmary, the injured mare is nice and comfy. Or at least, as comfy as she can by on a cot with a ratty blanket in a town built mostly out of rusty metal scraps. But her breathing is smooth and even and she doesn't look like she is in any immediate danger.
  148. [2012-05-04 22:57:13] * Gino walks up to the old scavenger to see if he/she is in any condition to communicate.
  149. [2012-05-04 22:59:18] * icekatze 12the old scavenger pony looks up at Gino "What's that ya say sonny? Course I can hear ya. What'd ya want?"
  150. [2012-05-04 23:00:21] * Gino walks up to sit next to the wizened scavenger. "Tryin' to figure out what we might run into in the zebra lands."
  151. [2012-05-04 23:03:38] <icekatze> 12"Ya don't say. Not many folks are willin ta head that way anymore. Those parts just keep gettin' more dangerous by the year. I'd tells ya not ta go, but I already heard whats up through the grapevine, so instead I'll just tells ya what I know."
  152. [2012-05-04 23:06:19] <icekatze> 12The old stallion mentions some things about how the old war took the Equestrian forces a long way into zebra territory, and that when they were scavenging, they often were looking for old supply convoys from Equestria that had food and ammunition. The zebra, he says, tend to stay on the move and away from cities. He never dared to venture into one, but some of his friends did, and they never returned. Ponies might gather in the ru
  153. [2012-05-04 23:06:20] <icekatze> of old cities, but as far as he knows, its better to keep your distance in the zebra lands...
  154. [2012-05-04 23:08:28] <icekatze> 12There's a rather lengthy checklist of dangers that he rattles off the top of his head. Everything from groups of mad zombie zebra, swarms of old war robots that will try to kill ponies on sight, and in the south closer to the coast, there's plenty of horrible monsters to be found, and a few places that reminded him about the stories from the Everfree Forest.

  157. [2012-05-04 23:12:43] * Gino decides to interject on a specific topic. "So, in the time you spent there, did you ever spend time around some place described as..." he struggles to remember the wording, "the peak that looks like a tooth? Yeah, that was it."
  158. [2012-05-04 23:17:04] <icekatze> 12"Hmm... I think I know which one you're talking about. There's a mountain range that runs along the coast, you can see it from miles away. Can't say I ever went up into the mountains, but I did go nearby once. Tried to get an old tanker floatin' again that time, never did quite get it back into the water though. Pity, had plenty ah fuel left over."
  159. [2012-05-04 23:20:11] <icekatze> 12"Not too bad a place if I recall, though gettin' there was a bit of a trick. There's a lot of little towns along the coast. I guess it was a good place to build once upon a time."
  160. [2012-05-04 23:22:31] * Gino asks a few more specific questions. "Was that area more or less dangerous than other parts of the zebra lands? Anything stick out in particular?"
  161. [2012-05-04 23:25:11] <icekatze> 12"Well, I remember they were pretty steep cliffs. Not much was going to get up there, not even the vines, not without bein' able to fly at least. But that shouldn't be a problem for you I reckon."
  162. [2012-05-04 23:27:32] * Gino chuckles. "Small favors. What would you recommend bringing with us for just a jaunt into the lands. Not gonna stay a while, not gonna go lookin' for a fight."
  163. [2012-05-04 23:30:45] <icekatze> 12he makes a wry chuckle "well, unless you've got an invisibility spell tucked away somewhere, I'd tell ya to bring something sand colored to cover yahself up at night, or a shovel and just cover yourself up with sand all together. But I suppose y'all will be flyin' most of tha time anyhow."
  164. [2012-05-04 23:31:49] * Sky_Shine looks at Lucidity "What do you think sister should i stay here?"

  166. [2012-05-04 23:37:19] * icekatze 12By the time Gino gets finished talking to the old stallion, it looks like the sky wagon is as prepared for the journey as it is going to be. Thunderbird has the maintenance panels all returned to their proper places and the mayor is pacing back and fourth with a sour look on his face.
  167. [2012-05-04 23:39:02] * Thunderbird smiles at the mayor. "Don't worry, we'll bring it back in one piece, and if the spirits smile on us, we may even have a nice supply of food."
  168. [2012-05-04 23:41:06] <Wind_Chaser> "And thanks for the wagon again." Wind_Chaser says. "Are we all set up for this?" he says, addressing the party.
  169. [2012-05-04 23:41:46] * Gino decides now would be an excellent time to give Lucidity her new saddlebags, as well as a whole two tanks of flamer fuel.
  170. [2012-05-04 23:44:07] * Xavi is looking at the wagon in awe. "I going to fly!" he says happily.
  171. [2012-05-04 23:44:15] <icekatze> 12The mayor just scrunches up his face into an even more sour expression. "Its my job to worry. And ah hope y'all are right about the food. Last thing ah need is folks takin' up sides with the Tris just fer a bite ta eat."
  172. [2012-05-04 23:48:04] * Thunderbird positively beams beneath the streaks of grease. "It took a fair amount of time to get it in shape, but yes, now you will fly."
  173. [2012-05-04 23:48:17] <Wind_Chaser> "Ah, we'll try and be back as soon as we can handle. As for the Tris, we'll think of something, Ah'm sure, 's not like we haven't a squad of former Enclave pegasi in the city should things get haywire, heh."
  174. [2012-05-04 23:49:55] * Thunderbird shrugs at the mayor. "You do what you have to, and we'll do our best to make sure none of your fears come true."
  175. [2012-05-04 23:50:29] <icekatze> 12The mayor does look a little mollified, but he still doesn't look happy. "Well alright then, what are y'all waitin' for? Go on. git!"
  176. [2012-05-04 23:52:14] * Lucidity smiles to Sky_Shine. "I know I would rather have your company."
  177. [2012-05-04 23:52:33] * Xavi climbs aboard the wagon and looks around happily.
  178. [2012-05-04 23:52:50] * Lucidity would not feel comfortable leaving her Little Sister behind where she couldn't protect her.
  179. [2012-05-04 23:53:46] * Gino wonders if he should help pull the wagon or ride in it or fly beside it or what.
  180. [2012-05-04 23:55:01] <Wind_Chaser> "Roger," Wind_Chaser asnswers, as he leaves his battle saddle wtih Thunderbird, "Would it be much ta ask if you could mount the second rifle on mah battle saddle for me while we're travelling?", and then starts harnessing himself to the cart. "On board! Next stop, Zebra lands!"
  181. [2012-05-04 23:55:10] * Thunderbird shows her faith in her own work by hopping into the back of the tank. "Oh, and to make it official, I dub this tank the Chrysalis." She gives a metal floor plate a little stomp that rings with portent. "It may not look like much now, but with some time and care it will become something beautiful flying through the sky."
  182. [2012-05-04 23:56:20] * Thunderbird happily takes the battle saddle from Wind_Chaser and pulls out her tools. "My pleasure! Should be done before you know it."
