Turn 8: Run, just run
"Your Highness, we're just about to reach the drop off point" one of the Comms Officers spoke, as the Royal Ship approaches their planned spot. The Royal Guard has made quite a mess out of the Children of Nightmare, though a bit of a shame they couldn't arrest the one behind all of this. Some G-Bouncers and GM IIs stayed behind in case they show their faces around the Everfree Forest, lead by a Pegasus in the EZ-8. Celestia seems pretty contempt at the moment, disrupting their big chance to revive Nightmare Moon being a major milestone.
She noticed Twilight was quiet from the experiance... especially thanks to Imperial Will's use of the Lightning Strike Gundam's rifle to really give her a scare. Maybe a bit of time away from the forest in the safety of her own home would help her get over the whole ponynapping incident, as the ship stops in it's tracks, above the planned point...
A Comms Officer found a message from someone in Ponyville asking about a "Twilight Sparkle", asking Celestia what the response is. She tells them to meet them at the Library for an explanation instead. The Comms Officer sends the message back to the Gespent mk I, saying that they should meet up at the Library.
With the Royal Ship above Ponyville, Desura, Kasai, Marcus, Alice, and Kenji seem to worry about what happened at the Library (d100 roll: 67). Desura however has no real time for any pleastries and such, as after talking with the Organoid to the best of his ability (for a given value of such), he starts to direct the Research team into poking around E.R.I.K.A. for AI Improvement. In the meantime, Melody and Walter set out for the Everfree Forest to go wrangle up a Blade King Jr, while the Communications team send out their messages (d100 roll: 37, 28 and 10).
Celestia is willing to go on board under 1 condiction: That she is to be escorted by the Royal Guard only for the purpose of protection. She selects 4 of her best as escort, while she sends her student to the Medical Bay. A Shuttle is deployed towards the Fa Bose for the intent of a Royal Tour, with the four seeming wary of the existance of the Fa Bose in the last 2,000 years. (d100 roll: 65) The Royal Guard honored Celestia's request, and started to look around the ship. The Organoid took the time to get some exercise, the long sleep really got to it, while eluding Celestia's Royal Guard.
At the Assembly line, the repurposed Transport Craft leave the line, as each Natural Human started to set out to see exactly how much the place has changed in the last 2,000 years, going off in all sorts of random directions. Unobservant Pegasi in the sky seem to think the Transport Craft are popping out from out of nowhere, as if by magic, with the same responce to a Shuttle disappearing into some spot.
The Auction for the right of the Vagan pattern has went down as planned, though it seems it comes out to about 2.2 million from a very influential company in the Manehattan group (d100: 72). A Pegasus that delt in Genetics has sent a responce, saying that he will meet up at Canterlot's docks, while an Orbital Frame crafter shows interest, saying that he will also meet at the Canterlot Docks. The Missile Constructor and Drone Constructor seems to be enroute to Canterlot as well, for diffrent reasons. One AT Specialist stood out, a Crystal Pony named Emerald Dreamer also traveling to Canterlot to improve his skills in mech construction. Looks like you'll be meeting up at Canterlot docks to pick up everyone.
Keiram on the other hand seems to be quite confused aover this, as he tries to find someone willing to join the crew. He noticed four Earth Ponies walking around the town, wondering what's going on. With no real direction he starts to look around for anyone in particular, while looking for someone to look at his prosthetics (d100 roll: 94). He seems to be walking in the opposite direction, subconciously following the hooves of one of them, until stubling on a green Pegasus-class ship. A Unicorn who's currently smoking looks at the pilot, wondering what he's doing near the ship.
Primrose in the meantime drag Jacob around town, stopping at seemly random buildings, showing how clueless she is about Ponyville as well. Jacob observes that Primrose is a bit energetic over this, as she stops at the Ponyville Junk Yard and assosiated Repair Shop. However, the 17-year-old crewwoman pulls Jacob before he even gets the chance to check it out, as she drags him to yet another building: Sugarcube Corner...
Alicia and Ichiji walk into Sugarcube Corner to get some sweets to keep up crew Morale, while the older woman sends a message to Seasong to notify them if the Earth Pony finds a nice site to start digging. Ichiji looks at the various sweets being cooked while an Earth Pony walked in at the counter.
"Ah, here to buy something?" the pony spoke, as Ichiji started pointing out seemly random pastries, while Alicia helps Ichiji out a bit. The Blue Earth Pony seems to wonder about the humans' eagerness, as she packed each of the pastries in Bags, trying her best to keep up with the young Psychodriver. Once she managed to get the last of her orders done, Alicia covers Ichiji's little stunt, and pays for some Morale boosting food. The young mother then tells the now-burdened Psychodriver that she'll start searching for the missing R-GUN while telling Ichiji back to the Albion, just as Primrose and Jacob walked in. The energetic Natural seems to have done a very good job dragging Jacob around like mad, judging the dust and such of his clothing, while Alicia and Ichiji split off towards their seperate directions.
The Earth Pony greeted the two as Ichiji and Alicia left.
"Welcome to Sugarcube Corner, do you want anything?" she asked of the two of them, while Primrose eyed a funny-looking package.
"Is that? How much is it?" she asked.
"Oh that? This package was addressed to Pinkie Pie, though it seems to have a special instruction written on it for a 'Jacob'? I could give it to you but I'm not sure what they ment by 'Give it to Jacob'? Is this one a human?" she wondered as Primrose began to point to a set of cakes, not noticing Strawberry Ribbons buying some cupcakes for someone, paying it out of her own pocket.
Meanwhile, at the Town Square, Rainbow Dash calmed down a bit, though still eager to smash heads if it ment saving Twilight. Alice seems to have a feeling that Twilight's found, though it may mean things have gotten worse. She looks at the other machines, wondering where Fluttershy and Rarity are. She spotted four other Ponies wandering around the square, wondering what their affliation is. Realizing she's seen enough, Alice wonders what Applejack, and Rainbow Dash'll do now...
Kasai in the meantime looks at the bodies of the two saps he took out in that fight (5 and 3). He hasn't found much off their bodies outside of some pocket change, a few intimidation tools intended to coerse Fluttershy and a map of Ponyville, but two standouts seem to have bugged him: A Spiral symbol with the words "For the Glory of the Spiral Lord" is etched on it. Kasai recalls that this one must be one of the slogans of the Unicorntopia Resurgence Army, a group he despises and one of the few reasons he rarely stays in one place in the first place: their insistant preaching has droven him insane day after day, that it made him want to travel to the far reaches of Equestria (or as far as he can take his Desert GM really) to escape from them. He then starts looking for Trixie so she can dispose of their bodies.
"Umm... mister?" Fluttershy asked Kasai...
"Do you lack kindness for your enemies?" she wondered...
In the meantime, Trixie looks around the Ptolemaios, as she tries to figure out something useful. Marcus assists in looking around and finds an odd machine. Using her magic, she casted a cleaning spell on the machine, sending dust in the air, before leaving the ship via the ventilation system. It seems to be an unusual Machine, nothing she'd recognized... looks like you may need someone a bit more... professional to identify this one, while she finds a Scrap Metal Refinery. Kenji borrows Trixie's Genoace and sprays on the bodies once Kasai takes their clothes and assests they're not hiding anything. The acid disintergrates the flesh off of their bones, while Kenji crushes their bones to dust... at least you kept their Lions though.
As for Desura's recruiting attempts (3, 4 and 6-1), Rarity seems to be uninterested in traveling, and seems to mention Twilight's Ponynapping. Primrose on the other hand seems to show some interest, but at the same time she can't simply leave the Albion, since she's technically on business due to Alicia's insistance in taking both her and Ichiji, in fact she wondered if Desura's with the Unicorntopia Resurgence Army in the first place. Finally Strawberry Ribbons is interested in the Haro research, although she does have two condictions: She'll need it back at the first Relic Site Seasong finds, and to make sure her Haro hasn't been broken with your team's screwballery. One of the Humans left the ship to get some fresh air as he agreed to honor the deal, also taking some of the other things she bought as well.
You start to charge at the ruffians (4 vs 4+1), barely able to get a nice hit, though enough to get them off of you. You used your phone to call the rest of your team back to the ship, ready to set out for Canterlot to hopefully let the heat die down a bit.
Toola-Roola and Starsong got the call to start running, thinking the Unicorntopia Resurgence Army is on to them again. Sunny Daze in the meantime set out for the Fa Zard with some Solar Furnances to trade. The three of you are able to meet up at the dock and into the Vagan ship quickly. Toola-Roola seems to be pretty steamed of their persistance ever since she stole the AGE Devicer out of URA hands. Captain Wesker noted the issue, while this Changeling Navigator sets a course for Canterlot.
The Mechanic team begins to take note of this, while you take the time to wonder just what the heck was the Changelings thinking of pulling this plan. Well, what's done is done and you really want to figure out just what makes the Devicer so valuable to the URA...
Welkin picks up some communications from Baltermare as the city became distant, relaying it to you and Wesker that the URA cell is going to move out to pursue the Fa Zard. This cannot be good, especially since Geminass can't fly unaided and neither can the Scopedog: If they try to tie up the Pursuers, some of the pilots will be left behind and would need time to catch up on the Canterlot route...
