*video recording began*"Is this working?" I said looking into the camera "Good good, now, Lemon like you requested before we left, you wanted an annual overview and today I will be guiding you through our wonderous hovel in the ground" I said making some exaggerated hoof movements "As you can currently see, you are in my room, and should I say it is very close to my chamber in Lemon, but I digress, time to continue the tour" I opened the door and a wall of smooth rock is seen, along with some stairs "As you can see we love and care for our citizens, not letting a single one go without a bed" Personal chambers with the name of the pony occupying it currently "Not insulting the overpopulation of course" I added nervously. I headed upstairs, Talon rushing past me, his machete in his mouth "[yay] watch where you're going Talon, that thing has a sheath for a reason" I said jumping out of the way "Thorry,training thethion in the barrackth, teaching it." Talon said "Just... don't trip, we don't need to clean up the halls of your impaled corpse" I said, my tactfulness fading, Talon obviously ignoring me "Forgetting that, our main floor-despite having loam walls-is very secure as we have 2 doors hooked up to a lever in my room ready to close when danger comes" I said showing off the doors, fasioned in the shape of vault doors "The archives said this design is sturdier than Plasteel fresh from the smelter, though it hasn't been tested yet" I said hitting my hoof against it "Also we have a series of tunnels between our farm and kitchen and EVERYWHERE... its better not to figure it out-though its simpler when you live here." I walk to the dining room "We have a bunch of rock tables and a few chairs and a few tables from the scrap we found that was just a bunch of metal scraps, we also have a butcher shop... I partake in the consumtion of meat, its not that bad once you try it" I shook my head clearing my mind "Sorry, rambling on, continuing on, we have our dogs in this area until we can get some animal trainers here they will just breed and be culled for food" I said walking into a hollow area with dogs and puppies running around, enjoying the time regardless of what was going on in the fort "Next is the barracks floor with the refuse pile... it's kind of small at the moment, though I plan on having the barracks exanded into the training area that you ponies at Lemon had so we can train our own Steel Ranger battalion to defend us" I said, walking into the training session that Talon was talking about "-let go of the sword even if it means a wound, losing your weapon is never an acceptable thing-Oh Ice, you need something?" Talon turned towards me "No, just taking a walk" I said "-Continuing on, I want you, Cyclone, to demonstrate the proper technique for pulling a sword out of a wound on that log over there" Talon said sticking the machete in the log. "I can't stay outside for long, but as you can see we have part of our wall set up above ground so we are making progress on that front, and hopefully we should have it ready soon so prepare those boats in about a decade at the shortest as the progress we are making currently isn't going to get it done quick" I said admiring the beauty-despite the universal brown-and saw the sun rise... the beauty... the purples, reds, and blues... it was one of the most beautiful things I've seen since those archived pictures of this famous artist from Pre-war Stalliongrad. "Sorry... gushing over the beauty... I'll bring the rest tomorrow, Pipbuck, transmit data to Lemon Database 1953a" I said *Transmitting... Transmitting... Done, have a nice day*"Good... If they don't mind, I will... just watch the sunrise for a bit" I said settling down on a spot of dirt.

*Video Recording started* "I apologize for gushing over the sunset like Celestia was there but... it was just magnificent" I looked at the Pipbuck and lay on my table "Good thing Lemon gave me a lesson on removing these things, I'm technically not supposed to let anyone know" I said "But Cyclone saw it, but I shut her up for sure" I said smiling before putting the Pipbuck on "Oh no inappropriate acts occurred if that's what your thinking whoever is reviewing this,pervert" I said, the last part muttered "Anyway, we have a storeroom floor though that isn't important but... it could be useful if we every come across some steel rangers and conveniently hit them over the head with a rock and take their armor... and not a tiny rock, a boulder would work as their little tin cans would vibrate, causing a bunch of scientific crap and they would be stunned allowing us to strip them down and- Oh Luna that sounds like an erotic book..." I said noticing the weirdness of that statement "Anyway, getting power armor and setting up Talon and somepony else would be great, though how we would get it is the problem..." I said "Though we could just do the boulder thing and put a bullet into their head... but if they catch on we would have to get an actual army instead of some magically talented unicorns with boulders and pistols, and maybe a sledgehammer or two" I said still rambling on. "Forget it, discard PipBuck"I said frustrated *Transmitting... Transmitting... Transmitting... Done...* "No!" I yelled "I said delete, not send! How do these even mistake to two!" I put my hoof on my forehead "Great... now Lemon will see me as a crazy pony with the plan to take down the Steel Rangers-"I sighed "-that could be a good thing in the long run though..." I said still having that debate in my head about obtaining power armor.
