open The Antigone

"ok, i will have it ready for you today, promise." striker then walked to the cabin, went to his bunk and started building lockhart's new arm brace's.

"Got it captain," Ratchet said and walked down the gangplank and out of the docking tower.

[Strong Hooves 289]

Cloud decided to join ratchet after he got fresh bandages from the infirmary. "I wasn't much help with the attack, hopefully I can be of better use now" he told Ratchet as he joined him. He sighed "This honestly isn't what I expected at all" he said.

After boarding the ship Valiant went looking for the captain and was hoping some pony could help him find the captain...

[HunterTSN 1,444]

"Well what did you expect, a walk in the park? Sorry kid but flying an airship is always a hassle, and the country being all hyped up over this civil war doesn't make it any easier." Ratchet reached the base of the tower and turned back to Cloud, "want to make yourself useful? Here go buy me at least 20 lemons. Once you have them bring them to Lemony back on board, she rarely comes out of the kitchens so you should find her fairly easy." Ratchet handed Cloud a couple of bits and turned to talk to one of the ponies that maintained the docking tower about repairing the Antigone.

After looking for awhile he decided to wait outside the captain's cabin on the bench and dozed off with his cadet cap over his head...

[TheOnlyBadgerChild 8]

Lemony looked over at her clock and sighed. Might as well go heat up dinner for the ship. She stood up, stretched and slowly walked over to her kitchen. She stopped to stare out a window for a while at a few Industrialist messenger birds.

[HunterTSN 1,444]

Ratchet awoke with a start, he had been lying on a bench at the base of the docking tower and must have nodded off. Looking up he saw tall pony wearing a black vest and shades. Ratchet stood up and straightened his cap, "can I help you sir?" He asked politely.

"Yes" the tall pony said, "is that your ship?"

Ratchet looked up at the Antigone high above him, "oh no, I'm just the engineer. Why? Are you a passenger?"

"Well that all depends on whether or not you have my package," the pony replied.

"We have an order from an anonymous pony, it's a big, bulky thing. Sound familiar?"

"Yes it does, I assume you came from Fillydelphia then. Good, then your ship is neutral. Well then Take me to the Drackenridge Mountains, I have business there."

"Sir this ship is on a schedule, who do you think you are that we will just drop everything to take you wherever you feel like going?"

"I just so happen to be Aelfric Stein, principle of the Canterlot University of magic and science and Professor of bioengineering at the Equestrian Selectionist Center in Manehattan!" The pony spat.

"Well then, your highness. Why don't you follow me and tell that to the captain" Ratchet said sarcastically and started up the tower staircase towards the airship above.

*BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM* "They fired the port-side guns!" yelled the officer "HIT THE DECK!" he ordered. Valiant threw himself to the ground *CRASH* shrapnel splintered everywhere "Agh!" yelled his best friend "NOO!" yelled Valiant as he started running to help his friend but the officer grabbed him by the collar and pulled him down. "GOD DAMN IT WHY?!?!" he yelled while bawling his eyes out screaming....

 

Valiant woke with a start when he heard footsteps coming up towards the captain's cabin and got into a rigid saluting stance....

"finally! im done, now i just have to find lockhart" striker, taking lockhart's new arm brace's with him went out side, >what time is it?< striker said to himself, walking around he saw lockhart, "oh there you are! finally done with your brace's i think you will be pleased."

[TheOnlyBadgerChild 8]

Lemony pricked her large ears at the sound of new hoof braces for that recruit Shockmart or something like that. She turned around and glared at Striker. "Do you even know why the captain made him get rid of his braces in the first place, rookie?" She asked flatly.

[jdor11 91]

striker stopped in his track's and explained to lemony "oh don't worry about these new pair's. they are made of a super light material called luxfortium, it is as light a feather, but as strong as a brick, i knew that they would be too heavy if i made them out of steel, so i ordered the material from a local blacksmith here who is a friend of mine, who owe's me a a lot."

[TheOnlyBadgerChild 8]

"That seems a bit of a waste. Licksmart told me that e used the things as weapons and he hits things with them. If they weigh next to nothing, why would they be of use?" She questioned the rookie engineer. Lemony rolled her eyes behind her long bangs.

[jdor11 91]

"because they are one of the strongest metal's ever! they are strong enough to punch through a wall of pure steel! and seeing how lockhart need's them to walk and fight, i need to make special one's for him, there are more use's to this material, but it would take to long to go over them. now if you excuse me i have to go deliver them to lockhart."

[TheOnlyBadgerChild 8]

Lemony Snickers frowned. "You know that the metal won't affect the strength of his punches or kicks, right? It's his job to train so he can punch through walls without metal manacles. All they do is add weight to Mockrarts momentum and since the things you crafted don't weigh very much, they won't be of much use other than protecting him from splinters and other ponies stepping on his hooves." She explained. "Plus it's a waste of money and material. And his hooves aren't broken or missing, so he can brobably get ver whatever handicap he thinks he has."

[jdor11 91]

"well the last one's he wore were at least 100 pounds each so he has to be pretty strong, also just because there light doesn't mean there fragile, plus these were free for me, didn't pay a bit, now have a good day." striker said still walking to lockhart

[TheOnlyBadgerChild 8]

"Hmph." Lemony snorted. Some of these kids really got on her nerves, especially that Rockchart guy. She looked back out her window and ended up forgetting her journey to the kitchen to admire the Industrialist mechanical creations.

Kyros walked up the stairs and found an unfarmiliar pony saluting to him for some reason, "Well, atleast somebody shows respect for their superiors around here. Anyway, who are you"

[Twilight Sky 449]

Kyros looked at the paper, "Ah, finially a pony who isn't a recruit. Well, let me... just...," Kyros searched his coat frantically for a pen, but to no avail he could not find one, "Alright, it seems that I don't have anything to write with at the current time, so just give me a second..." Kyros rushed into his quarters that were right next to him, and got a pen from his writing desk. He came back outside, and signed off on the paper.

[Twilight Sky 449]

Valiant nodded. After he saluted him, he then walked off to the Crew's Quarters to get his stuff unloaded....

"Thank Luna" Lockhart said. He took the braces and put them on. "They're a bit lighter, but they'll do." He started to walk away a lot better. "Again, a million thanks."

[jdor11 91]

"wait, there are a few thing's you should know about the brace's!" striker said running after lockhart, "like what i've added to them!"

[Twilight Sky 449]

Valiant found the Crew Quarters and found a locker to put his stuff in. He took out the essentials first and put 'em in a 'borrowed' first aid tin and then he hung his gear locket with a picture of him and his best friend on the coat hanger. Then took out his changes of clothes and hung them. Then he went to a bed rack, pulled his ol' cadet cap over his face and started to doze off...

[Strider Hiryu 116]

"What?" Lockhart asked. "I can already set them on fire."
