@@Unicorncob, "We could do that. Stealth Bucks aren't hard to find if you know the right place to look. Working thermal binos will be harder to find, lucky for all of you I know a place which has just such resources. An old bunker used by the military. Stumbled on it one day while crawling through the wastes with a .50 cal bullet wound torn through my leg. Not my proudest day. If I have a look around, I should find a pair of thermal binos and some stealth bucks. That takes care of the issues of the snipers, if we can pull it off. I'm apprehensive. Because if I can see them, to mark them for kill, odds are they're going to see me."

"I already suggested using some sort of thermal scopes a while ago. Geez, it's like no one wants to listen to the guy who has the first bright idea. But still, what about after those Spotters are down?" Kronos asked, " What then? Do we get those guys in Power Armor? If we are, let's try to do what I suggested initially. If not, the take out tue snipers or something."

"Most likely no one thought a thermal scope would be needed. Since from the reaction I got, you didn't think about them being this organised. But, specifics. Once the Sniper and the Spotter are dead, power armour is the next threat. You have to kill both the Sniper and the Spotter at the same time. Otherwise they will alert everyone. And just because a sniper loses a spotter, does not mean they are blind. They just have limited vision. Remember that. You most likely won't see more than one at a time when the alert is not triggered. But they always have support. They treat the armour like a tank. Heavy slow moving, needs to be followed by much lighter infantry for support. What was your original idea to deal with them? I'm curious, not many ponies can rationally deal with them."

Crackshot curled his lip in thought. They'd have to take out both the sniper and the spotter at the same time, but how?

 

That military bunker sounded promising, though.

 

"That bunker you mentioned," he spoke up, "any chance we'll find another sniper rifle in there? We can do a bit of sniper and spotter action ourselves. As for the power armour, we planned to have one of us sneak up behind one and deactivate it. At first, at least."

[Child Of Darkness 285]

@@Unicorncob, "The Bunker will have a Sniper rifle. No doubt about it. But that plan for the power armour isn't going to work. I reiterate, they bolt a sheet of reinforced metal over the power core to prevent it from getting shot during combat. This does prevent them from changing the core without a work station. But it does keep it protected, so it's a worthy trade off. Plus I swear I saw one suit of armour with huge Tesla coils coming out of the back of it and vents on the rear legs which make small explosions every time it jumps. It was terrifying. A pulse grenade might do the trick. I might have one or two."

A chuckle coming for her lips. She wasn't expecting to get a request after ammo refill. Still, she wasn't one to look at a job negatively. Looking over the bag of caps, she nods "Alright," she might as well least consider it. No harm there.

 

Allegory nodded and looked around again, taking out a small note that read "Return in 20 minutes". "We're going to my place. I don't want too many ponies hearing," she muttered, levitating the bag of caps to her hoof. Making sure she doesn't run off with the caps first. "It has to do with White Sting."

 

She glances back at Steam and tapped her hooves. "You know what it is. The biggest raider organization in this region, possibly the entire wasteland...led by another leader and killer. Charismatic and sociopathic. Intelligent and brutal," Allegory crossed her hooves. "Another Red Eye. And I think they're doing something here. If you're interested, follow me. And the name is Allegory. Nice to meet you."

 

She then trotted out and flattened her mane, trotting a few blocks away from the shop and taking a short left towards a light blue boxcar, glancing back at Steam to make sure she followed.

A military bunker! I don't know if it's the same in this world, but that means materials I can work with to, uhh. Do stuff. I thought to myself quietly, hiding behind the little shed. There would be less and less stuff to hide behind as we got closer and closer to the peak. I'm going to have to find an alternate route.

"Pulse grenades, of course," Crackshot murmured, nodding once and glancing up in thought, "I've seen those Tesla suits before, they're no joke. Whoever put those together knew what they were doing."

 

He looked into the mare's eyes again. "If that bunker has any armour-piercing rounds, that'll help. But we'll work with what we've got."

@@Unicorncob, "Well, don't get your hopes too high. That covers most things. We have a basic plan now. I'd say you stand more of a chance now. But I doubt you can actually succeed. This will be an interesting few days. *giggle*"

 

Beep The compass on Whites HUD was pinged with a new target. It was green, so not hostile right now. But he wouldn't take the chance of this person possibly overhearing everything he said. It would be disastrous to Sting. Putting one hoof into his Saddle bags, he looked around the area a little bit before looking back at the pony he was talking to "Listen, I don't know your name. I'll be right back." With a flick of a switch, White became invisible. He turned on a Stealth Buck. Under the cover of his cloak, White slowly made his way around the side of a small shed, the opposite end of which the target was located. Needless to say, he was a little bit surprised and relieved when it turned out to just be the strange mare from R-7. 'I really need to think of a name for her.' Standing on his hind legs and leaning against the shed wall behind her, White timed himself with the deactivation of the Stealth Buck.

Crackshot raised an eyebrow as the mare took off toward a small shed. Was there something there? Did she have a trap planned?

 

He couldn't take any risks. Raising his shotgun into his magic, he crept after her.

 

He stalked up to the side of the shed, hugging the wall until her overheard the mare reveal herself. He swung around and aimed his gun... seeing her and a different pony. A red unicorn mare.

 

"Who are you?" he demanded the new mare, stomping up to her, "Who do you work for? How much did you hear?"

"A little rude to be eavesdropping on us like that little miss."

 

I turned to face the pony leaning against the shed un-phased by the display of technology. Confident. Likes to think he's funny. Open minded, optimist. Interesting. Not a threat. I simply ignored the pony and turned to the new pony.

Now that the pony who had somehow noticed her was close enough, she made some deductions based on his reaction. Short tempered. Anti-social. But experienced, protective. Probably. This pony was interesting to me. So I simply answered his questions. "You don't need to know, nobody and I don't know how much you were speaking about before I started listening so I can not answer that accurately."

"Wrong answer," Crackshot growled, pointing the barrel of the shotgun between the mare's eyes, "I do need to know who you are. Why were you stalking us? You work for the raiders in the mountain?"

 

Something in the back of his mind was telling him to give the mare some space - she was probably too scared to come out and face the group outright - but at the same time, he couldn't take chances.

"Why should I give you the pleasure of being talked to politely when you've just hit me?"

@@Ethan Sawyer, White was only slightly nudged back by the pulse and giggled to himself with the little display. "I wonder if that magic pulse happens consistently. If I hit you again, would you send out another pulse? I'm tempted to test that theory out. If it works, that would just drain your energy twice as fast. Seems sort of redundant."

 

He holstered his knife as, 'Damn I still don't know his name.' Started speaking. He did sort of want this mare to join, mostly because he wanted to keep an eye on her. White wanted to understand exactly who she was and what she can do. This does make on thing complicated though. She knows EDEN, EDEN is at the bunker. This would cause an issues if not addressed soon. Using the pipbuck on his hoof, White sent a message to EDEN to leave the bunker and seal the door behind it. Master security lock. 16 figure password. No one could crack that. 'I do not want these guys getting a hold of my tech. Though I think I'm playing this role very well. Just a waiting game now.'
