Allegory nodded and passed two hundred caps to Stream, humming to herself and verifying that he paid in full cost by doing a recount. "One-hundred forty...fifty...nice," she muttered before looking back up at Crackshot, raising her eyes."Sniper rifles? I don't think we've gotten enough caps or luck to get one of them for a while...let alone silencers compatible with the trademark calibers they use. You'll have better luck finding that in professional merc-dealers, not a regular weapons store."

 

The unicorn mare moved down the shelves anyway, and pulled a hunting rifle off the shelf. "This should be a good rifle if you need one, though. See here, polymer stock, a x3 medium range scope, and a straight-pull bolt. Stream got the parts for it and I modified the spare rifle myself," she described. The stock was held into place sturdily by duct tape and screws, and the scope was evidently a painted binocular fragment with edited glass lenses to fit the range appropriate for it. "Fairly light and portable, good range, and it uses .308, which is common, though it can also chamber .30-06...not hard to get. All this for five-fifty caps. With the two boxes of .308 ammunition."
 

She looked at the two new ponies come in at well...where were they all coming from? It was concerning her a bit now, and Stream eventually commented on it and asked the colt to return to the counter. "Lots of activity now...can't have them huddle up here," she whispered to Allie before declaring it out loud. "Hey, if you're finished buying your things you should leave the store now, can't have this place get too crowded."

 

Streamline then turned to Quiet, rubbing her hooves and taking out some boxes of scrap metal and all sorts of supplies; it looked like a heap of junk, but with the right hooves could be far more useful. "Alright, each kilogram of scrap metal or wood is 3 caps, duct tape roll and wonderglue jar is 10 caps, and each kilogram  of animal bone or chitin is 5 caps, marrow and ligaments included. Oil canisters are 8 caps, wrap of cloth is 4," she listed, then pointing outside. "There's an extra workbench outside you can use for free if you need to modify something.

 

"And no arguing in here. If you want a fight, take it outside where no one gets hurt," Streamline added, taking out her machine pistol and muttering to herself. "Now, what do you two need? Ammunition, guns, energy weapons, blades, or just plain food, water, all that crap?"

Storm directed his gaze towards the merchant which he had been waiting ever so patiently for, he looked over to the little pony, seeing her distracted her took the open opportunity gladly. "Yez, you wouldn't happen to have zis part?" he asked, pulling out a small drawing of an odd looking part, it belonged to a plasma pistol, however, the capacitor looked a bit more unstable, if anything overcharged. "I would pay quite handzomly for zis part." he added, trying to provide some type of cap incentive for the merchant to look for it or be on the look for it. He didn't pay much attention to her little machine pistol, he had no intention of fighting, especially not that 16 year old brat of a mare, it wouldn't even be a fight to him, just the thought of it baffled him.

Right on schedule, EDEN arrived at Junction R-7. The guard stationed at the gate had other ideas about letting it in though, blocking the gate and giving EDEN a threatening look.

 

Guard: "We don't want to hear any of that Enclave propaganda here. You're not spewing it now, but you will eventually. Now get."

 

With the guards reluctance, the Microphone on EDEN popped to life and the shutters on its "Face" Opened to reveal a screen. It was static for a moment, before showing the image of a pony in a gas mask.

 

White: "Don't talk down to my Eyebot like that. You threaten it again and I'll have you skinned. So move out of the way and let my bot through."

 

Guard: "And who exactly are you to tell me what to do?"

 

The pony on the screen removed the gas mask on 'her' face, allowing the guard to get a full view of the cybernetics and the Gang markings on her Jaw.

 

Guard: "I'm so sorry White. Had I know this bot belonged to you I-"

 

White: "Save it kid. Remember you're a Sleeper agent. Don't draw attention to yourself. My bot will be going inside now."

 

The guard simply nodded and moved to the side, allowing EDEN access to Junction R-7. Turning off the mic and closing the shutters, EDEN went about his task of looking for anything that may be related to the bounty.

Without taking her eyes off of Quiet, the mare produced what appeared to be a heavily-modified revolver from her saddlebag, tossing it onto the desk. "Two cases of .44 ammo," she ordered quickly. "Also I need parts for a comfort grip, bull barrel and reflex sights. I can craft those myself, just need the parts." Turning one ear towards the shopkeeper briefly, she added, "Make it quick if you could, I've got somewhere to be."

Crackshot eyed up the hunting rifle, listening to the specs provided by Allegory. Certainly sounded like a decent weapon, and it'd make a decent backup. This old shotgun would do for a while as well.

 

After all, nothing could replace Persuasion.

 

"It'll do," he decided, and dropped another fifty five caps on the counter before taking the rifle and ammo, "Thanks. I'll put these to good use. Very good use."

 

He eyed up the strange mare and peculiar stallion one more time before going to leave. He recalled how the mare bumped against her earlier, but thought nothing of it.

He turned to leave, and looked at Quiet. "Meet me outside when you're done."

With that quick order, he left the shop and returned to the sunshine, where the pegasus mare was talking to another pony.

He returned to the mare and hovered the padded armour and pistol to her.

"You'll need these," he simply said, before turning to set his tired eyes on the stallion, "Who are you?"

"Foray?" she snickered. "Haven't heard anypony call me that for a long time. As for how I've been... let's just say I'm still alive, with all my original limbs intact. Got the old ear fixed up too. But I figured after I'd cleaned up the Domain, there wasn't much left for me there, so I just sort of wandered up here."

"We're going after Blooddrop's gang," he explained to the group, "In the mountains northeast of here. It's gonna be cold as balls up there, which is why I got us padded armour. I wanted a sniper rifle to pick off their guards from a vantage point, but since nopony in there had one to spare, we're doing it live. Any questions?"

A small glowing blue sphere that appeared to be made of fire and plasma appeared in the sky near a stack of trains. It slowly expanded until it was about twice the size of a pony. Small amounts of lightning started sparking out of it before it suddenly expanded to be around 5 times the size of a pony, partially enveloping the trains in the stack. Suddenly, the orb dissipated in a small explosion that seemed to push nothing and a red pony fell from where the orb was. Where it had been touching the trains, a large chunk of the trains were missing and had a red hot edge.

Storm just had enough of this waiting, he quickly took the part drawing and hid it in his clothes, this type of establishment probably didn't even have the part, seeing as everypony seemed to have conventional weaponry. It was just then as he was leaving the shop that he felt something wrong, like a disturbance somewhere nearby, he couldn't exactly put it on his hoof, but something had certainly changed. 

 

Once he left the shop, he noticed a peculiar looking eyebot, he hadn't seen many of these around and couple help but approach it, looking it over, admiring the craftsman ship that went into it, it wasn't this often that you saw a fully functional eyebot just wandering the wastes. He was just about to envelope the machine in magic before he remembered that this probably belonged to somepony important, like duh! Not everypony has a eyebot, and certainly not one of this caliber.

@@Defender of Tomorrow, Looking at the pony who had just wondered up to his Eyebot, White felt a need to say something to him, mainly because of the absurd amounts of Cybernetics that have been implemented onto his body. With a small Fizz, the Microphone on EDEN came to life, the shutters for the screen remained closed for now. Out of the microphone, came the voice of an older mare, heavily metallic and slightly distorted.

 

White: "Well well, look at what we have here. It's not everyday I see a Cyber pony walking about the Wastes so freely. Most of your kind tend to hide from the prejudice of the world. Glad to see you're not a coward. Oh, but where are my manners, you may call me EDEN for now. That is the name of this Eyebot unit. My identity is one that is best to remain hidden. For a time at least. I will say though, those enchantments you have are quite impressive. Kind of makes me feel like upgrading my own. But I have a question for you. Two actually. First Question: Have you heard any rumours circling around about a bounty for one Raider Queen by the name Blooddrop? Second Question: If the answer to the first question is yes, have you seen anyone who looks like they may be undertaking said bounty?"

 

At this point in time, A large quantity of energy had emerged seemingly out of thin air not too far away from where EDEN was. Though source was unknown, but White sure was curious to figure out.

@@Child Of Darkness

 

Storm was somewhat surprised that the eye-bot suddenly spoke, of course it wasn't the actual thing speaking, more like proxy for the pony whose voice was now being emitted from the microphone. He wondered why the shutters didn't open, usually they did whenever someone was using this to communicate, but he figured that the pony wanted to stay anonymous. The voice seemed like it was being manipulated somehow, it was awfully familiar to how he could manipulate his voice and speculated that he was speaking to a cybernetically enhanced pony. The thought of him talking to his kind, even though it was through an eye-bot put him at ease, he was absolutely disgusted with all the inefficient bodies walking around him.

 

"I am zurprised you can zee my cybernetics, I suppose I am not that good at the art of disguise." he said and smiled at the comment of the anonymous pony upgrading themselves, he loved that word, upgrade. "I have heard of zis raider, and by ze looks of it, the ponies that are inside zat building zeem to be buying lots of gear." he said, it wasn't too hard to piece together that perhaps the pony behind the eye-bot was this bloodrop. He then had a peculiar feeling that he was not actually talking to the raider queen, but actually another proxy for her. It was plausible, the pony had just said they were cybernetic and if he could manipulate his voice, they could too, he didn't think too much of it and blankly stared at the machine. "Why do you azk?" he said, if there was a plan in place to kill these mercenaries here and now he would consider fighting, that little mare that was mocking him needed to be taught a lesson or two, but then again, he wanted to investigate the strange energy that was released moments ago.

The sight of the disturbance was not very far away from the location, a short walk was all that was required of them and EDEN made the distance within a minute or so. The area from which the anomaly originated was a stack of old trains in the far edges of the Junction. Most of it heavily burnt and other parts, was safe to say, might as well not exist any more. In the epicentre of it all, lied a mare, possibly in her late teens early 20's going by appearances. And what an odd appearance she had.
