Gray_Spectrum

Gray Quickly throws down a dark gray marble causing it to burst and create a thick cloud of smoke allowing him to move away from Dusk effectively. "Try to strike faster Dusk" he said from the smoke Gray tossed a purple marble on the floor and as it melted and created a goop like substance that makes it impossible to move when stepped on @@Duskrunner,

"Dusk! Fight me!" He exclaimed While trying to convince Dusk to accept "Don't worry I won't use my strong marbles on you just the weaker nonlethal ones.I'll even let you use the Pen." He sat down in front of Dusk waiting for a response. His Glare gave away that he was desperate. Even through the broken lens of his glasses this was obvious. @@Duskrunner,

Gray awakens from his slumber to the sound of loud machines "*yawn* I need to get some combat training in if I'm to keep up with my crew... that incident before almost cost us the ship" He walks dizzily to the main deck and Sets up several Barrels as target practice. "*Yawn* I hope the metal I Placed on the deck Works Properly or Lume will have my Flank on a mantel." He Readied three marbles one Red, one Green and one Blue. He decided he was too close and Backed up to the other end of the ship. With a steady arm he flung the Blue marble at the Barrels. It released a Large Electrical Charge and was slightly to strong and sent a very small current of electricity to the rest of the ship (only enough to feel like a Miskito bite) He then threw the Green Marble over to the location of the Barrels and it released a thin cloud of Green gas that surrounded the area. Immediately after he readied the Red marble then caught himself before he did. "Wait what the hay am i thinking if i uses this now the ship will catch fire... I should postpone until We Make the proper adjustments... Damn... I need a sparing partner... barrels are no fun." He then pondered for a few moments who he should ask. he wanted to train with one who would also benefit from it. "Dammit who!..lets see... Aha! It may not help strengthen myself but it just might help a certain Chef How to Protect himself if a situation occurred. OH DUSK BUDDY!" he said with Grin as he ran to the kitchen @@Duskrunner,

Noting how Tired Lume Was he Sat there deciding to watch the machines. Coming up with random ideas for Inventions and soon forgetting them right after. He sat there waiting, Then he grew tired "There is a silence where hath been no sound, There is a silence where no sound may be, In the cold grave—under the deep, deep sea, Or in wide desert where no life is found, Which hath been mute, and still must sleep profound; No voice is hush’d—no life treads silently, But clouds and cloudy shadows wander free, That never spoke, over the idle ground: But in green ruins, in the desolate walls Of antique palaces, where Pony hath been, Though the dun fox or wild hyena calls, And owls, that flit continually between, Shriek to the echo, and the low winds moan— There the true Silence is, self-conscious and alone" After reciting these words Gray fell asleep on the floor. (Poem by Tomas Hood. Gray reads a lot of books and memorizes everything)

Gray trotted out of the captains cabin Humming a tune. He swung by the closet to Grab a thin sheet of metal and proceeded to happily trot to the engine room. "Hehehe Lume! I have a present for you!" Gray Sets down the sheet of metal not explaining what it is. "For you and your Machines!" "I'm In the process of making more! It comes in 5 colors Yellow, Orange, Purple, Black and Grey! I'm working on getting more colors in but its proving difficult. Also I brought you some Wine!" he lugs in a big barrel of wine With a tap sticking out of it. @,

After the explosion Gray Gets up to dust himself and notices there was almost no damage to the ship other than a small burn mark and soot surrounding the Closet. "YES! IT WORKED!... Kinda." The young eccentric yelled at the top of his lungs before running to The captains Chamber to thank Twisted for the Idea of his new invention. (forgetting to clean up his mess) While running down the hallway he screamed in repetition "It worked! It worked! It worked!" As he approached the captains quarters He saw Moonlight in the doorway "Hey moonlight, it worked! My Invention Worked!" He was so overly excited that he just Hugged moonlight with joy (being the closest pony nearby and all) "This will prevent Many, Many Problems for the whole crew! And I owe It all to Mr. Twisted Fate here For giving me the Idea!" He runs over to Twisted and said like an Idiot " Thank you for threatening to blow up my ship!" His smile making it obviously clear he meant what he said. @@Moonlight Fire, @@Brain Drain,

While The crew were having Idle conversation Gray felt the need to work on a new gadget before they reached Manehatten. He decided it best to run find a spot where the majority of crew would not be. That ruled out the Kitchen, sleeping quarters and either of the decks. So he decided to go where he felt would be the least populated area on the ship, The broom closet. Gray walked into the broom closet throwing everything inside on the floor outside the door. When he was done making room in the closet for his parts and doodads he Put a sign on the door saying "No entry unless you want to blow up ship". He closed the door and began to work. after about three hours of trying to get it right all that could be heard throughout the ship was a Large *Boom* Noise and the captain yelling "SON-OF-A..."

In reply to Dusk "I have already sent the others on their way on a small side vessel about 13 hours ago, as for you you handle yourself pretty well considering the situation. I want you to join my crew. the offer is yours to Either Refuse or accept But I will have to use a gadget to wipe your memory and Take back the pen if you do decide to refuse, also there are no more vessels to drop you off in so if you do decide to leave you will have to wait until we get to Manehatten which could take a while since we are now Hours off course. If you choose that Option I will write a letter for you explaining your Absence but i doubt they Believe a pirate wrote a letter to explain why you weren't there. you may get fired from you job anyway. Gray then notices Vincent Approach as he grabbed the wine he replied "Thank you for the wine. i need it to Make the effect of my acid Marbles last longer. When you are done with what you were doing prior. I need you to Plot a course for Manehatten so I can get The Missing Piece They all keep talking about. I know a guy who can help. I will momentarily stop the ship until Everything has been settled. Gray Blinks and notices how serious he sounded " Ops I got a little to Focused there huh? hehehe" he rubs the back of his neck before going back to work on the Marbles. @@Duskrunner, @@TheLineTrotter,

Gray seems ecstatic "TAHNKYOUTHANKYOUTHNKYOUTHANKYOU! Now I Have to make sure I keep you around!" He dances out of the the room with delight and walks to the main deck. sits down and Starts messing with chemicals that seem highly dangerous. "a mixture of nitric and hydrochloric acid be very careful one wrong drop and i could melt a massive hold in the ship..." "and there the aqua regia has been made." Gray then proceeds to make marbles out of it. Gray Presses the button on his earpiece "Vincent can you hear me When you get the chance meet me on deck with the Wine" @@Brain Drain, @@TheLineTrotter,

"I shall stay in here with my hat I don't like to leave my hat in rooms I'm not in." Hoofs his hat over to Twisted. Gray pushes a button on his com to tell Dusk to come to Grays location which may surprise him seeing as he never knew Gray placed a com in his ear. He then Speaks to Lume "Hows everything Going?" @@Duskrunner, @@Brain Drain, @,

Gray opens The vault and Retrieves the 200,000 bits from inside " Here. now if you would kindly help with this mess, I'll throw in an extra 3,000 From my personal stash. Grays soon becomes Happy and care free again "But before that my other question. Do you know a good hat guy? I need to get mine fixed. And by judging yours I assume you must know a guy." @@Brain Drain,

Gray notice twisted was thinking to himself " You seem to be lost in thought Mr. Saboteur so let me assure you this vault has no key or anyway of opening without me. I set it up that way when I first got on this boat, so before I hand over the contents of this vault I have two questions for you. Would you like to make more money than you have ever seem in your lifetime? I know you are a gambling Stallion. I also know you like to take chances. If you take your chance with us then you could come out of this with more bits than you could fit inside of canterlot castle. If not you just end up with the chump change that can fit inside this vault. Interested?" @@Brain Drain,

Gray stops in his tracks "Slick Prick? *chuckles* " Clearing his throat he mutters under his breath "Where the hay do i send him while he's drunk?" He decides it best to tell gloom to offer help to Dusk "Gloom I know your intoxicated and all but i need to you go to storage and help the pony there with whatever he says. Its important. Got it?" he spoke as it to try to explain in a way a drunk stallion would understand. Feeling Impatient He starts to continue walking as to get the mess done and over with they make it to the captains room soon after.

"Smart but clueless. I may be a thief but I don't lie. I will get what you desire but you will allow Lume and Moonlight to work or we all die regardless Got that? And Weird pony with the stomach flu who crushed my hat! Put on this Sweatband and go get the Missing parts Lume needs that you said were missing" He gives Dusk the band and tossed Twisted a mirror "With that mirror you can monitor Whoever wares that band so you don't have to worry about him leaving Doing anything bad and not to mention you can tell he is no threat by looking at him." Gray continues to say "Oh and when I get back I wish to have a conversation with you" He then proceeds to the vault.

still sitting there Motionless Gray Did not respond to anypony there. He simply pressed a hidden button found only on his com Gray stood up and faced the Stowaway looking more pissed off than anypony there had ever seen him (no surprise seeing as he's usually happy) When a pissed off expression he opened his mouth he said "Your talented" Then just like that he smiled and said "He wants to feed his Greed And I say we let him. Lume ignore what He says and fix the ship. stowaway follow me and I'll get you what you seek Nopony follow me. That Is An Order."

After checking nearly every other room on the ship The young eccentric (putting it mildly) ran into the engine room so Quickly That when he ran in he slipped on a wrench and toppled over on the floor. "Cripes that hurt..." Getting up to dust himself off he noticed a Playing card red in color. being the strange pony he is he smelled the card thinking it out of place. He then became very silent and closed his eyes, His ears twitching to every slight sound. He sat down on the floor patiently not making a single move, barely even breathing. He became statue Like, and like that he stayed.

(That reminds me I left the ships wheel unattended... I might need to play something in so get ready for a bumpy ride) as the chaos that pursued the crew continued to slightly confused as to what was happening around them but most didn't seem to care. As Gray ran around frantically searching high and low for the Stowaway. The ship shifted to the left forcing everypony on board to shift and slide a little, Barely noticeable when not paying attention.

slow your roll buddy. nobody can just keep going endlessly it may be a good idea to recover a bit before jumping onto something when your tired you'll just end up more tired that you already are.

Gray once again speaking a mile a minute not giving anypony any time to respond to his crazy notions "I found this pony in the bathroom and his stomach was making weird noises. I think he has a stomach virus! so I need you to fix him and be nice to him even though he crushed my hat he seems relatively nice." He then Fixed his hat and adjusted his Glasses and darted off saying " I have to go look for the stowaway! Take care of this weird pony! He could be useful!" and just like that he ran off again leaving only the Pony and a Bottle of very expensive looking wine with a note attached. The note read "When he feels better share this drink with him and explain to him who we are and what we are doing he seems to be scared of us or rather just had a bad day. make him smile ~Gray"

"leader? That's me! well... kinda. Anyway have you seen a suspicious pony around?" paying no attention to the fact he was armed or that he wasn't part of the crew. Then taking note of the rumbling in the ponies stomach Gray Inquired "You feeling ok? you need me to find our Medic for you? You don't seem to be fairing well." Grays concern for this pony was serious. Then stupidity once again falls upon the Captain He grabbed the Pony and used a metal alloy rope to tie him oh his back and yelled out " Don't worry friend I'll help you!" Then Gray Shouted at the top of his lungs while running To find moonlight "MEDIC! WHERE THE HAY ARE YOU?!"

not wasting a second of time the Hat obsessed Captain Exclaimed "Ok here's my Plan Lume and Gloom need to get the rest of the crew together and meet here Vincent i need you to be an eye in the sky, you ll need to take these" Gray hands Vincent, Lume, And Gloom Ear pieces " these are long range Intercoms I came up with when I Was just another Thief. They work up to about 3 miles apart. Vincent i made yours a little differently, not only is yours designed for a Griffin it also has a radius of 5 miles. We will be using these to communicate with each other while looking for the Stowaway. If you find him do not engage Simply inform the rest or the crew. Lume and Gloom Give these extras to the other crew members as you find them!" Gray looked determined "contact me when you find the others. To turn your com on and off just press the button on the side they are virtually invisible and you can't feel them while they are in your ears." Gray ran off to start looking for the Mysterious Stowaway before anypony/Griffin could say a word Rushing through the ship Gray hears a noise from a nearby bathroom "Oi is somepony in there? Get out here now! Its an emergency!"

Gray quickly intervened and became more serious than any of you have ever seen him. He did not feel like the same idiot of a captain you have all seen so far "Lume for now until I feel the need to Redo my judgement on this It does not seem like a good idea.However..." He quickly became Cheerful and Child like again "I trust you!" " I will let you commence working on it! On one condition of course" he said with wink "you will only run it at 2% efficiency until I Know the thing works properly" After he said those last words he became overly exited and started jumping around, putting his arms around Lume and Vincent " We are going to go sooooo fast! HEHE!" "Hey i just remembered I was knocked out earlier We need to Find the guy who drugged me! Oh Pony Feathers! We need to find him!"

"the hay is a Meta Turbo Triforce V8?" he said thoroughly baffled by the explanation Lume gave looking more stupid that he usually does. "Is it really that fast?" he asks in a hopeful tone, wide eyed and a big grin on his face getting slightly to close to Lume for either of there comfort
