Scarlett looked around for a few more moments, looking for anything that could be useful. Not that she knew what could be useful. "I'm not entirely sure. What kind of weapons do you sell, and how much are you selling them for?" Hopefully if she acted like she knew what she was doing, they'd be less likely to scam her. That was the theory anyway.

Allegory raised her eyes. The red mare's attempt didn't do much to convince Allegory of her "competence"; an actual wastelander, even a regular settler, would know which weapon is which and ask them if they had it in the first place, and much less wastelanders would ask what a weapons dealer would actually have. Besides, Allegory knew that the red mare wasn't a real wastelander and some pony from the "future" anyways. "Oh, I have T-99 10mm's, the Regime Sportshot, ES-11 Assault...oh, and the fast firing .45 PTT. What do you want, and I should say if you have the caps for it," sbe replies, hoping to catch the red mare off guard.

"Oh, and are you going to stand there or are you going to show me the part you need, mister?" Allegory added, patting her desk. "If it's easy to make, I can finish it in a few hours. Otherwise it could take a few days. So if you're willing to stay here for a while, I'll cut down the price a bit. How's that?"

Scarlett looked straight at the pony for a moment. She had no idea how much she actually had. Well, she did. But she had no concept of how much it was. I have one of the greatest scientific minds of my time. I invented a device that can allow travel between dimensions and time. But I have absolutely no idea what any of those are, how to use them nor the inclination or motive to ever want to use them. Lovely. Great situation I'm in right here.

 

Doing her best to speak in a calm tone, which was rather hard considering the situation, she said "Right, uhh. Do you have any, pistols, uhh, and how much are they?"

Storage, storage is a necessary evil.

 

If you have enough strength, you could savage a massive hull after a raid. Too small and you’re letting scavengers have weapons and armor scott free.  Not mention strength, Steam wasn’t one who could carry a fatman or minigun without some appropriate strength training or full suit armor. Still, here she was with a motherlode of items in her saddlebags

 

Steam wasn’t one to decide on killing on a whim, but desperate times come with desperate measures. Only with a half a day supplies left, not exactly knowing where she was going and finding a couple of raiders down around a broken down house, it was a perfect disaster waiting to happen. It was only a matter of waiting until night before she took them out. It wasn’t exactly an easy process, return fire, potential bullet wound, but only scraped the fur. It was only a matter of pure luck that she gotten out of there, unscathed.

 

 Now, here she was in R7 Junction with a guns, armor, and supplies. Sure, she could of use them, maybe modified them like her trusty rifle. However, she wasn’t one to bother with plethora of guns. Better to barter with someone and get some caps out of it, then carried around and losing or stealing them. With her cloak wavering around with the faint wind, the sound of metal clinging around her saddle bags. She trots along through the junction.

 

She wasn’t exactly a normal mare, she was pretty tall. They might thought of her as some stallion as most of her appearance is hidden beneath the cloak, however her muzzle and face had soften feature and has a nice peach fur along it. Maybe in some other life she would have been some supermodel or at least someone who can help ponies who need get something from the top shelf. Her long legs push along the rough texture, her mind intertwined on ignoring the stares and going right towards a weapon shop.

"And welcome to Stream's Hit-n-Run, young miss! What are you here for: weapons, armor, supplies, or getting your things repaired?" the green earth pony heard as she entered the shop. Glancing over to see two ponies talking business. While another was standing behind the red mare. The red mare certainly didn’t look like she was from around here. She certainly gave off the vibe of royalty with how well her fur and clothes were not ridden with the stretch of the wastelands. Steam didn’t bother with more deduction as her eyes wavered over to the counter.

 

Looking over at the possible ammo. .50 caliber bullets, probably the most effective gun that doesn’t involve it pewing or ka-booming. Her trusty hunting rifle, strap on her back, modified to have that powerful bullet. A curse, with how much bloody caps it cost to have a .50 cal. Still, with how well the bullet pierces armor, it certainly worth the caps. 

 

She trots over and stands behind the red mare, like a good customer should do. She already had a plan. 2 pipe pistol, 9mm pistol, a knife, 20 .38 round, 10 9 mm. Not to mention parts of leather armor. Least enough to salvage a full armor. Should be enough for a couple of bullet and some extra caps if needed. Least enough where she find a job with enough caps not to go into her cap bag. 

 

Steam waits along, as she faintly hears the conversation they're having about guns. Whoever this red mare is, it was getting a little cringe worthy to hear her not know what type of pistol are out there. Her face gave look of disdain, but she kept it to herself. 

[Defender of Tomorrow 323]

Storm walked over to the desk and pulled out the small piece of schematic, it was a overcharged capacitor and he showed it to the mare, he didn't expect her to know what the hell it was, but there was no harm in showing it to her. He had hopes that the mare had an idea on what he was looking for, he didn't expect her to be able to make it though, but she was a shop owner, she had to know somepony that could make it. 

 

"I zink what my friend is looking for is a .44 revolver, with a ejector rod and customized grip." He said as he glanced back at the mare, subtly motioning her to the desk so he could see how many caps she had. "Alzo, zhe would like at leazt 30 rounds to go with it." he added, wondering how much that would cost them, he didn't exactly like conventional weaponry, but this shop didn't look like it carried anything advanced. He hoped that the mare knew how to control her magic to use basic levitation, because without it she would have the most unpleasant time with the revolver. It was then that he noticed the new mare walk inside the shop, she looked like she was carrying at least twice her weight in weapons, he tugged his cloak closer to his metallic body.

Scarlett turned to face the robot pony straight for a moment. Deciding to just let him help, she turned back to the pony behind the desk, walked slightly closer towards it and said "Yea, let's go with that. A .44 revolver with 30 rounds." She had never been one for violence, though it appeared as if violence would be the only option to stop, more violence, around here.

 

She still had no idea what the gun was, nor how to use it. She could almost feel the cringe of that new pony that just came in. Wait, new pony? She quickly glanced behind her to see a new pony who seemed to be looking at her, rather distastefully. Either they're confused about how clean I am compared to the rest of this world, or they're about to murder someone. Or both. Who the hell knows in this time.

Crackshot rolled his eyes at Foray's impatience, and felt a chilly gust of wind blow on his face. One he was not accustomed to in his life travelling the boiling hot nuclear desert.

 

"Calm down, we're nearly there," he grunted, and started donning the padded armour, "if anypony's got any warm clothing, put it on now."

Crap, Kronos thought to himself, Of all the things I packed, decent snowgear is something I didn't bring with me. Dammit. Oh well, guess I'm gonna have to reroute most of my central core into my internal heating components. This is going to limit my combat proficiency in the mountains, so I should call for a requisition from the city. I hope it takes less than three days, cuz that's how long my current core is going to last in those conditions. If I don't have my supplies in that time, my internal components will start freezing over. Shit.

Allegory quietly looked straight back at the red mare, appearing a bit bored. You're not going to have a very pleasant time here in the wastes if you don't adapt quickly, future mare... she thought before turning back to the rack and levitating several pistols as once. The cyberpony stops her, however, and she immediately lowers all the pistols down and takes out the .44 revolver specifically, glancing at the peachy-green earth pony that entered and stood behind her. Finally, a respectful customer. Streamline looked up as well before leaning back down and nodding slowly.

 

"Mmm...well, first of all, I don't think she really needs a customized grip when she's a unicorn, unless she's magically impaired," she explained, making sure the rod was well-aligned and clean. "Now, the revolver with the cleaning pack for it is 350 caps, but that thirty or so bullets will cost you another 100 caps. .44 ammunition is not cheap and while .44 revolvers aren't hard to find, ammunition certainly is. This can chamber the even stronger .454 if you need it, but that's even rarer so I'm selling thirty of those bullets at 150 caps. If you're going to use such a strong weapon, you better hope you have a big wallet because it'll seriously drain one out."

 

Allegory examines the weapon one more time and then places it on the counter along with a small booklet that read Gun Safety: Minimizing Accidents. "Not to mention I don't think a first-timer like you can handle the strong recoil of a .44 revolver. If you don't get trained to shoot it well, you might as well be dumping your caps in the trash. You should consider buying another .38 revolver so you get used it with lesser recoil. .38 revolvers go for 160 caps and a 50-bullet box would be about 60 caps," she added, then smacking her hoof down on the gun safety packet. "And please, if you are buying it, read the packet so you know how to clean your weapon and use it properly. We're not responsible if you unintentionally shoot yourself.

 

"Now, for that part..." she looked over the schematic closely and tilted her ears. "Mmh. An overcharged capacitor. That's not going to be very easy...alright. I'm not too certain I can make one, but I can go with a max-capacitor. Not too hard, would probably take a day, and just 400 caps. Those kind of high overcharged capacitors certainly aren't something you can craft out of a typical store. You might need to find others with better tech on their hooves."

 

She rubbed her muzzle and sighed after that length explanation, looking at the new pony that came in. "Alright, and what do you want?"

I've only got enough caps for the gun and the ammo. She glanced over to the new pony before looking to the shop keeper. "I'll just take the gun and the ammo if you please." she said while levitating the caps higher.

"Just read the damn thing," she rolled her eyes and rapidly counted the caps...which did take a while, since it was qute a lot of caps. She didn't know why ponies had to use so much, but then again wasteland economics was messy and one hundred caps here could be the same as two hundred caps or eighty there.

"Just enjoy your revolver and all."

 

Allegory then turned to the other mare and gave a small smile, taking out two small bullet boxes. "210 caps for the bullets. Now, thankfully I've been getting some bullets modifications from the Redmist Weapons Cartel last week, and you seem to be those assassin mercs that might want more bite to their arsenal. So, I have .50 armor piercing and incendiaries, 12 caps and 15 caps each respectively. They're very rare and I only have, say, two or three boxes of both. If you want to go full .50 armor piercing, that's 290, and incendiary is 350," she suggested, pulling out the boxes as she talked. "Sadly I don't have sniper or anti-material rifle parts as of yet, only those lower caliber rifle modifications, so you might have to look elsewhere."

 

She flattened her mane and paused when the hooded pony mentioned that she wanted to pay for Future Mare's holster. "Fine. 25 caps for a regular one, 35 caps for a smaller concealed holster," she responded. Sisters, I am really making a lot of caps today. Way more for a store refill...with this much I can probably get some better armor and a few frag grenades, maybe a laser rifle modification.

Admittedly, Steam tried to be someone to be frugal. Not one to spend on her caps of basically anything, but...

 

This certainly wasn't anything you see much in the wasteland. This was something that would be define as a motherlode. That amount of ammunition, she can't figure how long it would take her to actually lose all of those bullets. Weeks, Months, maybe even a year? She salivate a little, before shallowing. .50 are hard enough to find, but all of this... Her mind contemplated spending all those caps. Ah, screw it! 

 

Steam took a defeated sigh as she went into her saddle bags one more time. Placing boxes of caps on the counter along with weapons placed on the counter.  "Screw it, I'll take it all." damn, she was probably going to regret this later on, but she knew that it was better to prep up.

Storm was quite unhappy that the new mare had cut him off, and while admittedly he was quiet for a moment, he was contemplating whether or not this capacitor would be able to work with his weapon. He had decided that the capacitor could be upgraded, he was really good with technology, after all her was a full on cyberpony. "I zink that I'll take za max-capacitor then, however, I won't give za payment until I zee it." he said, before adding. "But if you find the overcharged capacitor, I'll pay 600 caps." he said, hoping that 600 was a price that she would accept.

 

"Zat zound good? Okay good." he said, not caring that she was dealing with the new mare, and not caring to hear a response. He thought that 600 caps was more than enough for the one part, considering the pistol was worth at least 600 caps, however, he had been looking for the part for some time and wouldn't mind going a tad higher, though based on his lifeless facial expression, she wouldn't know that. He turned over to see the red mare reading the book, she was wise to read that book, considering her lack of experience with....just Equestria in general.

Ahh. So normal holsters are just a generic shape that tend to stick out more, where a concealed holster is more moulded for the specific gun meaning that it can be hidden more easily. Make sense. But damn, now I want a cloak.

Allegory raises an eye and paused; this mare was seriously going to buy out all the .50 she has now. She looked at her boxes, then back at her. "Um...980 caps," she finally concluded, slightly confused. A regular pony would have probably bought a SMG, especially considering her sole close range weapon was literally a peashooting pistol. She's in a terrible spot if she's caught or she's facing Talons, Allegory thought. "You...sure that's all?" she finally responded.

 

She then looked up at the stallion and stared at the schematic one more time. "Yes, I'll get it done and you can pay me then," she agreed before turning to the other two, adding something else. "Concealed holsters takes a bit more time for you to draw your weapon out compared to regular holsters but you can compensate it with faster magic or hooves.

 

"Some wastelanders get a bit more creative and craft containers for their weapons to hold. My dad used to put his .45 pistols in carved dictionaries. Others might stick them in violin or cello cases...anywhere could be concealing a pistol or something bigger. So yeah, next time you all are scavenging you should search for those things," she added, taking a sip of water from a plastic bottle. "No, keep the booklet. It's copied out."

Wastelanders? So that's what they call themselves. She looked at the unloaded weapon floating beside her. I might have to do some customising of me own. She rotated the gun a little to see it all. I doubt I'll be getting home anytime soon. I'll need to keep an eye out for anything that could conceal a weapon. "Thanks" she said before taking the booklet and hovering it beside her, before continuing. "For the advice I mean. And the gun."

 

Now I just need to get my holster, and figure out where to go from there. And find out what the buck is wrong with my magic.

Kronos explained, "I know this will sound crazy, but I've seen it work. If one of those raiders has power armor, we could use it against them. The new models of power armor work on fusion cores placed on the back the armor. If one of us can sneak our way behind a raider in power armor and remove the fusion core, it could force the pony out of their power armor, leaving it open for entry. Then, we could use it against them. It's perfect."

 

Crackshot opened his mouth to object, then closed it as he narrowed his eyes in thought. It was true that the newer model Power Armour suits used fusion cores, and it was possible to remove them while the suit was still active; it would simply render it powerless and next to impossible to move in.

 

"That... that could work," he muttered, "It would take the major firepower out of the fight, and we can keep the suit for ourselves if we can."

 

He looked ahead to the road leading toward the mountains. "But first, we need to see if they have any... though, does anypony volunteer for the core removal?"
