@, @@repsol rave, @, Once Nionios completes her current mission, I'll group you all together with another mission that follows straight after that. In a convincingly story like way of course Sorry about my long posting times everyone, I've had a pretty hectic day. How are we all finding the RP so far?

@, ((OOC: Can't believe I've been using the wrong name, It's Peppermint who's with Leo and Blast, not Slavik!!!)) "Yeah man" Leo said "Just so we're clear, don't tell Violet or Madrid what happened back there. I rather tell her when I'm ready" [[Meanwhile, several miles away]] "Keep moving!" A group of ponies, armed to the teeth, were galloping as fast as they can from 2-legged dinosaur like creatures. The distance was shortening between them. "I knew we should have raided that crash site" A young unicorn shouted "The gunshot noises attracted those things!" The leader of the group, a bald, bulky earth pony, unleashed a shot load of lead into a nearby predator. He knew they wouldn't be able to keep running for much longer. Without hesitation, he aimed his shotgun at the young unicorn and blasted his leg off. He fell screaming, and the pursuing creatures stopped their chase to finish him off. "Mike! What the heck?" One of the ponies exclaimed "Shut up and keep moving" Mike barked "Or you're next"

@, Leo looked as if he was going to break down "That was Violet and Madrid's dad" He explained "And I shot him" He tried to hold back tears that he could feel forming in his eyes "I'm a Marine. I'm meant to a the best of the best, and I bucked up back there. If Violet finds out, she'll never forgive me man"

@, As they were walking back. Peppermint gave the occasional glare at Leo, then taped away at his data pad. Leo kept mumbling to himself, his eyes full of fear, what was he going to tell Violet? 'Hey babe, how you doing? Shot your dad by the way, how about a kiss?' He shook his head and looked at Blast, hoping the pony could offer some reassurance.

@, "Help me?" Sunshine spat in the ground and laughed nervously "You think I'm... I'm... stupid? No way sonny!" Peppermint's grip on his pistol tightened "Blast, keep checking if that unconscious pony is breathing" He turned to Sunshine "We've got injured with us. Killing us isn't going to make things better for either party here" "That's because you shot up the place!" Sunshine waved his gun around again "You took all our-" BANG! Sunshine was dead before he hit the ground. A bullet hole right between his eyes. A deathly silence hung in the air. "Oh shit..." Leo gasped, a smoking pistol in his hoof "What in Discord's name is wrong with you?" Peppermint yelled "You should of shot him in the leg, not kill him!" "He was waving his gun man! I panicked!" Leo tried to calm himself down

@@repsol rave, @, Hearth couldn't stop her smile getting wider and wider. She was finally socializing for once in her life, and bonus points for it not being through the internet. 'That's another we're going to have to make do without' she thought 'internet' "If I finish my shift and you two could take a look at that relay, we could meet in the community square, where Balloon made his speech" She said

@, "Exactly, now please put the gun down sir" Peppermint reassured "We don't want to-" "I ain't putting my gun down!" He screamed "First my daughters, then my wife... now me! Ain't going to happen!" The Pegasus shook his weapon around violently "Hey, are you Mr. Sunshine?" Leo asked Whilst the Pegasus was distracted, Peppermint whispered to Blast "Scans show he's suffering from shock, minor blood loss and a fractured skull. He's probably not all there" "How do you know my name?" Mr. Sunshine shouted "I bet my wife cried out my name as you... you... raped her!" His eyes started tearing, but his gun was still aimed. Specifically at Leo. Leo flinched slightly at the gun "Quit waving that around! Someone talk some sense into this pony!"

@, "Steady, I'll help" Leo went over and tried to balance the weight *Click* "Put your damn guns down!" A voice said Every pony turns to see a green Pegasus with a shotgun aimed at the group. He had some noticeable wounds, including a deep gash to the head and broken wing. Peppermint quickly aimed his pistol at the Pegasus, who I turn aimed the shotgun at him. "Easy there" Leo warned, as he dropped the unconscious pony he was help carrying and reached for his pistol "You monsters!" the Pegasus yelled "Come to finish us off? Have you?" Peppermint tries to keep his revolver aimed and use his data pad at the same time, scanning the Pegasus "What are you talking about?" Peppermint asked

@, @@repsol rave, The trio started to walk up the hill. Hearth perked up "D-do something? Sure!" The machine nearly slid off her back, she quickly caught it and calmed herself. "I mean, after I finish work of course. But I'd be more than happy to be with you guys, what do you have in mind?" She asked

@, "Hey, what are you staring-" Leo saw the survivor "Oh heck! We got a survivor!" Leo quickly trotted over with Blast, they checked for sign of breathing. Peppermint came to the scene and pulled out his data pad, he waved it over the survivor "I'm getting a life signs... Seems unconscious though"

@, @@repsol rave, "Thank Celestia" Hearth sighed She put the machine on her back again, this time more carefully. Hearth was slightly paranoid that she might end up breaking it, but she tried to suppress the feeling. "Let's go tell Balloon about the good news, I'm sure he has plans for the river" @, A minute later, Otis walked over with a unicorn. "Balloon said it's fine, he sent Snowdrop with me" He motioned over to Snowdrop, she was a light brown unicorn with dark brown hair "What's up?" She greeted casually "I can use my horn to detect crystals. Pretty cool, am I right?" Otis looked her "Strange child" he turned back to the other mare "You know, I don't think I caught your name?"

@, Peppermint recovered from throwing up his breakfast all over the floor. "I wish you'd gave me proper warning before you did that" He said as he wiped vomit from his mouth The group observed the environment. A large chunk of the hull from the ship 'Unity' laid barely intact before them. Apart from bits debris, the only thing that stood out was a couple of chairs and a campfire that was still going. "Looks like someone is here" Leo whispered "Or was. Keep your eyes open" Peppermint pulled a pistol "Check for any useable supplies whilst your at it"

@@repsol rave, @, "Oh my... Of course!" She quickly sets the machine down on the ground again "What do you think might be wrong with it?" Heard asked "If it's something to do with me kicking it, I'm awfully sorry. I don't want to be getting unreliable results from the machine and end up making everyone ill because the water is contaminated and..." Hearth stopped to catch her breath, she almost fainted from not breathing.

@, Hearth eyed the machine with a hint of worry 'I hope that was a joke' "I never took you for a military pony" Hearth smiled "You act a lot more gentle then they do. Less swearing as well" She picked up the machine and set it on her back again. "It looks like we're done here. Should we head back up?"

@, Hearth gave a surprised look "You had to deal with the military? I don't think I could even bear to look at one" she pouted Ding! "That's odd" She kicked the machine "It's meant to give off three dings if the water is okay" Ding! Ding! Ding! Hearth recoiled in fright as she was caught unaware by the aggressive sounds. "Umm... Well, it looks like the water is okay" She blushed

@, Rock chuckles slightly at the unexpected but welcome compliment "Heh, shucks. Don't thank a pony for doing his job, it'll just go straight to his head" He smiled modestly Suddenly, he remembered what he was going to do. He pulled out a notebook and pen. "Can I have everyone's attention, I'm going to make notes of everybody here and their medical status" He indicates to his notebook "So if anybody has a medical condition that I need to be aware of, inform me now please"

@, "Hidden crystals eh?" Otis scratched his chin "That could work. I can see Balloon going along with the idea... Tell you what, I'll go and ask Balloon if we can look for some. You wait over by the edge of the village and I'll take the note book to him as well. I'll come by in a few minutes and we can go search for some crystals" @, "Ah, I see" Hearth couldn't really distinguish the difference between military and security, but she just nodded and smiled "Umm... Did you enjoy your job with the... erm..." Her tongue started to get tied in knots 'No, don't stumble now' She thought to herself 'You're a professional doctor, act like one!'

@, ((OOC: It's cool man)) Peppermint was about to respond when a few gunshots echoed throughout the night. "What the-" Leo stood to attention "Is that coming from the base?" "No..." Peppermint carefully listened in the direction of the shots "That's coming from near the crash site" Leo quickly holstered his revolver and started to put away the camp "Come on, we better hurry! Those could be survivors!"

@, Otis jumps and turns around "Damn! Sorry, you startled me" He sighed He get's within talking distance of Selune "Check on the supplies you say? I'll be right back" Trotting off into the crudely built warehouse, he double checks the supplies and comes back out. "Right, make note of this. We've got plenty of food and water, too much for me to count. We got about a month's worth of medicine, providing nothing bad happens. So we got the basics covered" His voice drops in enthusiasm "We've got nothing to defend ourselves with. No guns, no explosives, not even kitchen cutlery" @, @@repsol rave, "It's very nice to meet you both" Hearth smiled as they headed down the hill "Apart from the other two doctors, I barely know anyone else here" Within five minutes, the trio stopped by the edge of the river. Hearth put the machine down on the ground, pulled a hose out of it and dipped it into the water. "It'll take a few minutes for the results to come up" Hearth said "So... What was your occupation back on the ship. When it was still in one piece of course... unless you don't want to talk about it, which is fine by me"

@, ((OOC: I love it! The longer the posts, the more we can do with your character!)) As Jupiter wanders around, he finally finds the pony who he was searching for. "Ah, Mr. Midnight!" He walks over, with a crate balanced on his back. He sets it down next to Shining. "I've been looking all over for you. I should have known you'd be busy helping out" He chuckles "Anyways, Mr. Koch instructed me to give you this to help out" He points at the crate

@@Ampharos, @, "I agree, you don't want to start hyper ventilating" Rock encouraged "I've dealt with quite a few patients back over at the hospital who would panic over the tiniest things. Splinters, bruises and even bad breath! Oh my, they hyperventilated like crazy"

@, Rock put his hoof to head and then brought it back down. It was covered in blood. As the others were running, he tried to signal for them to slow down slightly. He felt the wound again. Not to deep. He must of got from falling over during the ambush. "Damn" He flinched "I feel little woozy" He didn't know if it was blood loss or the injury itself, but he found it hard to keep track of current events. He caught up with the main group. "Can some pony inform about what the heck happened back there? Just to make sure I'm on the same page as them"

@, Balloon did a double take "Woah woah, steady on there! One thing at a time" He laughed "I'm joking. So you want to help out do you?" He pulled out his notebook and flicked through a few pages. "Normally I'd send you to Security Officer Everett about jobs, but I have something that needs doing" He hands his notebook to Selune "I need you to find old pony Otis. He's a green Pegasus with grey hair and I assigned him to keep track of our stockpile of supplies. You'll find him near the warehouse we built a few hours ago, just ask him how our supplies are doing and make note of it" @@repsol rave, @, "Oh wow!" Hearth said joyfully "I didn't think we'd get that working at all!" She quickly fiddled with it to make sure it was working. "Okay, now we can just take this thing down to the lake and we can check the water" She took the device off of the desk and put it on her back "Are we... umm... ready to go?"

@, @@Blitz, @, "It appears so" Rock replied to Selune "I had to cancel a few appointments for this-" A pony dark blue pony interrupted and flew over to the group. "Yes, you could say that" Rock pulled out the letter he was given "We're just waiting at the moment. Who might you be?"

@@repsol rave, @, ((OOC: Might be a bit slow atm, chinchilla has escaped cage and need to find it!)) "Sure, you could take a look at" Hearth smiled at Repsol, she turned to Fire "And you really don't mind me coming along with you... erm... I'm sorry, I don't know your name!" She started to panic slightly
