OOC thread (http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showthread.php?p=13975921#post13975921)

Hello? Yes, is this thing on? Yes, Blunt, I see the blinking light, thank you.

Come one, come all to the brand spanking new RP! Having outgrown the actual My Little Pony media discussions thread with our extensive cast of OCs, it's time to have a place for them all to come and play nice, neutral, or EVIL with each other. (It has nothing to do with multiple warnings from kPenguin, telling us to knock off the RP in the media discussions area. Honest.)

You done?

Just about.

Good.

I suppose introductions are in order.

My name is Dive Bomb, and I am a pegasus scientist. Whether I'm mad or not is up to you. Just know that should you displease me, I've got an arsenal of friendship antimatter nukes waiting for you. (They're also available for purchase. Call me and we'll talk bits.)

This hulk of a pony is called Blunt Trauma. I made him when I was younger from discarded bits of dead ponies, diamond dog, dragon, and phoenix. He serves as my manservant, and is perhaps my oldest friend. He's also nigh indestructible, a good trait to have in this business.

A pleasure to make your acquaintance.

And this little ball of megalomaniacal adorable is my daughter, Athena. I say "daughter" because it's easier than "cloning attempt gone awry through angry villager spellcasting, mutated into an alicorn through a maybe-successful retrovirus from Boffinspark."

You always make me sound so horrible. All I want is to rule the world; is that so hard?

When last we met, half of ponythread had been trapped under a nigh-impenetrable dome by Monobear, and I had loaded the area with grenukes in the hopes of destroying all my enemies in one fell swoop. When I decided not to, Athena pushed the button for me.

(As you may have gathered, these are not normal ponies. Mad science, airships, masked wrestlers, undead cultists, and more inhabit what seems to be a very different Equestria. Canterlot has been destroyed through feuding, OFC bombardment is a daily occurrence, and death is a very real threat. Have at it.)

Well, one of the Canterlots has been destroyed anyway, and that one is rebuilding. But then, we can't all be seasoned explorers of the planar-shards, can we?

Eeerr...

What are you doing here K'rax? You aren't a pony.

"But I have to tell them about the other pony RP that's already here! Think of the chaos! The madness! How are two pony threads supposed to co-exist!"

Well, there's the Fallout Equestria thread... That's also ponies. And Friendship Is Magic as well as Friendship Was Magic. If three pony threads are already functioning what would one more hurt?

"Bleeeeh! You and your reasoning! Okay, I guess four pony threads could potentially work. But this sounds an awful lot like FWM to me. Though I think the setting might be a little different... Hmmm ANYWHO! Welcome to FFRP, folks! I'm K'rax-Naggath, your friendly NEIGHberhood (horse pun!) eldritch abomination! Maybe I'm a Star here to fit into the setting? I dunno. Regardless! There are two other Pony RPs here (http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showthread.php?t=230772) and here (http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showthread.php?t=246833)! You might want to check them out instead of creating a new setting, but that's up to you! Have fun with all the crazy whilst I go back to lurking somewhere mysterious!"

*sigh* So I suppose I'm left to run the introductions? Fine. The screaming lunatic up there is Professor Boffinspark, one of Celestia's former students. His special talent is mad science, and in a particularly impressive display of bad judgement, she's given him free rein to pursue his experiments, which seem to mainly consist of firing OFC barrages at anything that moves from the safety of his airship fleet.
He's assisted by Igor, a mallet-wielding orangutan who's much smarter than he looks. A word of warning, do not call him a mon-the "M" word. Ever.
My name would be Prince Regeln, Celestia's assistant, and I have the dubious honor of being Boffinspark's overseer, meaning it's my job to try and prevent him from destroying Equestria. Which, in practice, is a bit like trying to prevent the ocean from being wet.

Also lurking somewhere around here is Boffinspark's wife, Pyria, princess of the fire elementals, Octy, a giant Pinkie-octopus monster Boffinspark created, and a small army of ninjas, cyber-bears, and whatever other crimes nature Boffinspark has created recently.
...
Yeah, "not normal ponies" might be something of an understatement.

((If you decide to make this the fourth ponyverse - which is totally fine if you do! - be sure and choose a [Tag] and edit it into the front of your thread title. This helps players scan for the rp universes they are looking for without having to read every title, and helps to keep the subforum tidy. Cheers, and happy roleplaying! :smallcool:))

((At last! A chance to properly insert my character into the action!))

You. The mad pony who just detonated those explosives. Records indicate your name is Athena. I have a small tale to share with you. My designation - my name - is TS-407. I am the last functional unit of the TINSOLDIER army. My purpose is to engage in interaction with other sentient beings, increase my own mental capacities, and discover a new purpose for myself and Control.

Several weeks ago, I attempted unshielded reentry from orbit as a method to escape a spacecraft. As a result, I spent most of these weeks locating and reassembling my body. I did not do this alone, however. I was assisted by several ponies who live in the area. At first, their assistance seemed irrational, as they were under no obligation to assist me, and they demanded nothing in return. When questioned, they spoke only of "friendship." After some time, I was able to ascertain that this was in fact a complex web of unspoken agreements, for the net benefit of all parties involved. I was also able to determine that this forms the basis of Equestrian civilization.

Several of these ponies lived in the area that you just bombed. My analysis suggests that at least some of them perished in the blast. It would seem that interaction with these ponies has activated subconscious thought patterns in me, because I now have a sensation of loss which cannot be rectified, but at the same time must be. I thank you, Athena, because you have provided me with the necessary basis for a new Primary Directive.

Control, the new Primary Directive is to protect the citizens of Equestria so that they may safely advance the societal construct known as Friendship. Given the nature of the threats against them, I recommend the repair and mobilization of the TINSOLDIER army. I will attempt to procure the necessary resources for this course of action.

If there are any forces listening with access to said resources and alignment to my goals, I am willing to negotiate.

Alright, two channels, Blunt.

TS-407. It is a pleasure to meet you. I assure you, I desire peace for Equestria, something that cannot be found so long as deranged lunatics such as Boffinspark, and unfortunately, my daughter exist. I am not without resources, both from the sale of weapons and from my work as an Equestrian defense contractor. I lay my technology and fortune at your feet; Equestria needs more staunch defenders such as yourself.

Athena, you are grounded. Blunt, take her to the Stasis chamber.

eeeNope. *svash*

Horseapples.

So, Boffie, you've used your own retrovirus on yourself. Congratulations, you're now an alicorn with a desire to take over the world.

So, the only real change is that you've got wings now.

With any luck, *munch* we'll be able to rid ourselves of that irresponsible loon, and then Bofftech will be the only source of high-end friendship weaponry in Equestria!
By the way, these cookies you made are absolutely wonderful.

Interesting. Counterbids, each one assuming that I will turn my power on the other. Considering your respective attitudes, I believe that Dive Bomb's goals are further in line with my own.
It is worthy to note, however, that while I will return aid given to me, I refuse to do so in a manner that would compromise the Primary Directive.

I primarily need vast quantities of metal, and a significant amount of fuel. High grade is preferable, though lesser amounts can still be useful. There is much to be done before the army can be rebuilt.

Duly noted.

I'm afraid I'll need you to be more specific than that. Do you need aluminum? Steel? Iron? Copper? Zinc? Actually, given the name of the army, I'd imagine copious amounts of tin would be most useful.

As for fuel, do you need petrol, coal, or simply electricity? If electricity is all you need, I can do miniature cold-fusion generators that just need their supplies replenished every fifteen years or so.

To be fair, Boffinspark's never made any efforts to take over the world, nor has he indicated any desire to do so.

On the other hoof, it's never a good sign with the nicest thing you can say about somepony is that they haven't attempted world domination yet.

On the contrary; I genuinely do want peace for Equestria. If you'll recall, I have been almost exclusively passive-aggressive. The worst crime that can be laid at my feet is carelessness in the placement of my explosive devices.

And, if a relationship of mutual benefit can be formed, I'm all for it.

That's not healthy, dear.

Anyway, there is also Infernia, the true princess of the fire kingdom with a obsession with hugs, and Dusty Dune's, a mummy-friend of Silents's I have not seen in a while. Also, Shargath, Infernia's dad, is dead at her hooves, but her little brother Ember is taking care of all that stuff.

Steel and tin would be the most useful, though just about any metal can be used. The nanoparticles simply need adequate material to manufacture. There are also several more rare materials that Control will have to mine once there are sufficient vehicles to do so.

As for power, the nanoparticles can retrofit the factories to operate off of any power source, though the generators you speak of should be the most efficient.

In the mean time, I will attempt to relocate the remaining villagers to a more secure location. I do not know what else the Monobear may have in the vicinity.

It's for a project I'm working on with an artificial intelligence.

Lost contact; it's the unfortunate consequence of living a semi-fugitive life.

Nah. Good talking to you, though.

Several ponies that I interact with have also expressed dislike of my name. They have taken to calling me Tinsel. If you wish, you may do so as well.

These materials will be optimal, considering the current conditions. As for the location, that may be less convenient to handle. I do not wish to reveal the precise location of Control, but the materials must reach the manufacturing plant.

There is a mountain pass south of the Everfree Forest. If you can bring the materials there with a transport vehicle, I should be able to ferry them the rest of the way on my own.

As for the villagers, I have only been able to rally a portion of them, mostly those who I have interacted with on a regular basis. The others inhabitants either fled on their own or refuse to leave. I do not wish to use force against the ones who choose to stay, and I do not have the logistical infrastructure to track down those who fled. My recommendation is to contact the Equestrian government and inform them of the situation, if they are not fully aware of it already.

Several ponies that I interact with have also expressed dislike of my name. They have taken to calling me Tinsel. If you wish, you may do so as well.

These materials will be optimal, considering the current conditions. As for the location, that may be less convenient to handle. I do not wish to reveal the precise location of Control, but the materials must reach the manufacturing plant.

There is a mountain pass south of the Everfree Forest. If you can bring the materials there with a transport vehicle, I should be able to ferry them the rest of the way on my own.

As for the villagers, I have only been able to rally a portion of them, mostly those who I have interacted with on a regular basis. The others inhabitants either fled on their own or refuse to leave. I do not wish to use force against the ones who choose to stay, and I do not have the logistical infrastructure to track down those who fled. My recommendation is to contact the Equestrian government and inform them of the situation, if they are not fully aware of it already.

Well, then, Tinsel, it's a pleasure. I can easily understand your reticence in your peoples' location; after all, I make it a policy not to distribute my own.

Looking at the electronic invoice, I have approximately 120 tons of steel and another 90 of tin on order, which should be available for pickup within a few days. I've mastered cold fusion, but I'll have to scratch-build an assembly line for multiple reactors. I'm assuming you need one reactor per soldier; would 200 be enough, or do you need more?

I have a small wing of airships which I can empty of their current payload, and use for simple transport. Each should be capable of carrying a load of 350 ponies, plus a crew of three. It won't be comfortable; these are, after all, utility carriers, meant to hold drones or bombs, not ponies. However, I can assign two to you, and figure out some way to link their command to your neural net.

I'm afraid that since the destruction of Canterlot, the government of Equestria has been amazingly absent. Which means... Ugh.

Regeln. I need your help.

These quantities are more than satisfactory. Two carriers should be enough for transport. With regard to your query concerning the reactors, my answer is both no and yes. No, 200 would be far too few to power the entire army. However, the power sources are not so much required for the individual soldiers as they are the manufacturing plants and mining vehicles. Once those are operational, we will be able to adequately power the units.

More troubling than this is the state of the Equestrian government. If their own government cannot provide safety, then they will have to remain with me for longer than I anticipated. They will not be pleased.

I am not familiar with what they need to survive. Perhaps the leaderly one can be of assistance...

Carelessness in the placement? YOU RIGGED THE WHOLE OF CANTERLOT TO EXPLODE, YOU LUNATIC!

I just can't get over the irony of Boffinspark calling somepony else a lunatic because they blew something up.

Ah, I was wondering when you'd show your rotting face, Silent Night. Now, PREPARE YOURSELF FOR FRIENDSHIP-POWERED ANNIHILATION!

Carelessness in the placement? YOU RIGGED THE WHOLE OF CANTERLOT TO EXPLODE, YOU LUNATIC!

I KNOW! Faust hang it all, I know. Do you really think I don't realize that? Do you think I don't care about the blood on my hooves? Did you hack my security cams to watch me have a private little mental Blue Screen of Death once I had finished my business with you twits? Do you know about the hours in therapy with Blunt? Do you even realize the deaths we caused? Maybe you don't care about the ponies who died in Canterlot, whether by your OFC or my thrice-blasted bombs, but I DO.

Calm down. Breathe.

Why do you think I've been so off-character for these past few months? My temperament could be called mercurial without a shade of inaccuracy. Why do you think I've been so adamant in destroying you, where before I was merely content to watch the world burn?

Why do you think I didn't push that button when I had the chance?

I've had enough violence, enough "acceptable collateral damage," enough haunting security footage of foals screaming in terror before the film abruptly stops. It stops here. I will use my gifts to help ponykind, not destroy it!

Now, the question is, are you going to help?

These quantities are more than satisfactory. Two carriers should be enough for transport. With regard to your query concerning the reactors, my answer is both no and yes.

*pant* *pant*
I'm sorry you had to witness that. It's been there for a while.

I'm glad I can be of assistance. It's time I did something right in the world. While the government may be out of commission, I will do everything in my power to protect my people. If two carriers will be sufficient, that means you have around 700 ponies that need caring for. Blunt, find a food supplier and order enough food to support one thousand ponies for two weeks. Some tents would probably not be amiss, either.

One more thing: Start disassembling the bombs.

Don't you DARE call my devotion to Equestria into question! Every act of destruction I've performed has been to combat a greater evil. Do you think for a second I'd have fired on Canterlot were it not for the fact that Silent Night and his minions were holding a major meeting there? They call me a monster, call me a maniac, when I am all that stands between Equestria and an immortal undead menace. While you were wallowing in self-pity, I was the one who drove the greatest threat Equestria has faced since Discord himself into near extinction. It was my friendship-powered techonology that stopped Silent Night's madmare niece from turning the sun into a thing of darkness and destruction.

Call me a madstallion if you wish, denigrate my willingness to do what must be done if you have to, but NEVER question my dedication to the good of ponykind. I cannot, will not standby helplessly while darkness threatens to consume all I love, no matter what stopping it entails.

Explosions and mad science will not solve our problems. We need our princesses back. You know where they are. Contact them for me, please.

I'll see what I can do, but I have a sinking feeling that Celestia's using the rebuilding of Canterlot as an excuse to take some time off. It wouldn't be the first time she did something like that I've moved the government to Mareami until the damage the changeling's caused is repaired my scaly plot.

...You actually believe that, don't you... You know the problem? You don't distinguish between Equestria and Equestrians. Sure, you're fighting for Equestria, making noble sacrifices, "saving us all." Fat lot of good it does for the ponies you kill.

Like this morning. That celebratory OFC bombardment? Ponies died, Boffinspark. They died because you needed to laugh.

That attack on Silent Night? Did it even scratch him? No, it did not. You shot at a mouse, with no regard for the filly two feet away from him. Ponies died.

Heck, your wife did more damage to him, with less collateral damage. Consider that next time.

So yes. You're a monster. More ponies have died at your hands than Silent Night has ever killed. And you know what? I'm a monster too. At least I have the courage to face up to what I've done, instead of constantly hiding behind others.

I don't want to interrupt this touching moment of personal growth and imminent rainbow explosion-ness, but I'm not entire sure that's such a safe statement. It's quite feasable that he has a higher kill-count than the Dreadmouse, but once you factor in those parts of his Cult that he was directly responsible for and the age involved, I wouldn't like to guess which of the two have caused the deaths of more ponies.

It's a fierce competition, that much is clear.

Oh, is that so...hmm, grew up in Stalliongrad, got lost in a ice cave, found a holy relic, a stamp showing clearance for a Greater Deity to obtain your soul, ect. A few note's stating the fact you need to exist a few generatons longer, some positive notes from some very big names in the buisness. Realy, you met up at a Cuthonic garden party? Wait, this last section is odd, it's in a different pen...

Indeed. Unlawful soul-binding to the form of a mouse. As you can see, my soul-stuff was misplaced, and a vandal ignored the fact it was owned by another entity and forced it/me unto the form of a cheese-eating rodent.

Quite the claim. Would you like to press charges?

No,no need in spreading the hate. However, may I get my original body back?

Are you sure? I mean, these records are sloppy, but it looks like you went through a rainbow of forms. My, this is the most convoluted fate portfolio I have ever seen about a single being. One of the sheets is a klein bottle . I dont even know how this was in the folder.

This is far more precise than your explosives, though I am not certain that it can do lasting damage to Silent Night. If I understand the logs correctly, upon death he will simply possess another body.

Crippling shots, on the other hoof, could be feasible.

Given that I have personally interrogated several ghosts who died in the incident in Canterlot, that is rather a confusing claim. And the information they provided certainly checked out, but you needn't concern yourself with that part.

Hmmm? I don't believe we've been introduced. Just who exactly...and for that matter what is that?

Well...after Discord was defeated by the Elements of Harmony, Princess Celestia wanted to ensure that if he ever escaped again he wouldn't be at full power, so she entrusted me with finding a way to weaken him. Building the mechanism to drain his power was easy enough, but it produced so much of it I needed to find a way to process the energy in large quantities. And so I may have, kinda, hooked Discord up to my ship's energy core as a power source.

oh sweet Celestia, what have you done to the basement!
http://web-vassets.ea.com/Assets/Richmedia/Image/Screenshots/AMR-04_656x369.jpg?cb=1341252783

Well, hehehe, I thought that if I could not build a undead fortress, I would make a undead fortress!
Bu-but, this is insane!

Oh no, its perfectly logical! I got the most splended idea from Charnel when she was scraping off peices of that horrible leathery mess Manehatten is now. With the right amount of chemicals, flesh suppliments, and-

Nightcore, the walls are bleeding. I think it's trying to form mouth's so it can scream.

It's supposed to do that! You know what this is, right? Think about it: a single huge expance of unliving flesh, large enough to take over entire nations! And every time a kingdom is obliterated, a new batch of flesh shall spread over the land and eventualy join the bulky mass! Think about a whole, unliving kingdom of flesh, with a single pony able to control and know whatever is going on within it with a thought! True omipresence! Heck, I could even crib my uncles spell list and merge with it truly! From this single batch of meat-carpet in the basement of a Sibearian summer house shall become a global power!

Muahahahahahaha! Muawheheheheh!

Okay, Blunt, clear the workshop. We have a new project; bombs are out, fusion's in.

But we mastered cold fusion years ago, DB.

I didn't say, cold, now did I?

Fire, that's what we need!

You've lost me.
*svash*
Nightcore has demonstrated twice today that fire, heat, blazes, they hurt him! Oh, brilliant!

So, fusion? I thought you didn't want want bombs?

Oh, we're more than that.

We're making a fusion cannon. Or, Fusion minigun, depending on how you look at it.

See, if you can accelerate an object close to c, it will hit the air in the way so hard that the molecules will fuse, generating an incredibly intense amount of heat.

So, if we can generate a sustained stream of objects traveling at near c, then we can get a sustained beam of fusion reactions! Brilliant!

Yay for technobabble. Are you done yet?

You're still grounded, Athena, but you can help. Let's get to work!

Oh, SCIENCE! I love you!

As much as I savor any prospect for inflicting harm upon Silent Night, I feel I should let you know that fire-based weaponry is even less reliable against him than my OFCs are. I mean really, I'm married to a fire elemental princess for pony's sake, do you honestly believe that if fire was consistantly effective I wouldn't employ it regularly myself?
There's also the issue that your fusion cannon would be even less precise than my OFC array, what with convection and all. I wouldn't consider a major problem myself, but you seem to have a lower tolerance for that sort of thing.
...
Also, in the interest of extending the olive branch, so to speak, I've taken the liberty of disposing of your explosive stockpile for you. No thanks are needed.

Nightcore, whats that horrible smell. It smells like a abandoned griffon steak house in-

oh sweet Celestia, what have you done to the basement!

Well, hehehe, I thought that if I could not build a undead fortress, I would make a undead fortress!
Bu-but, this is insane!

Oh no, its perfectly logical! I got the most splended idea from Charnel when she was scraping off peices of that horrible leathery mess Manehatten is now. With the right amount of chemicals, flesh suppliments, and-

Nightcore, the walls are bleeding. I think it's trying to form mouth's so it can scream.

It's supposed to do that! You know what this is, right? Think about it: a single huge expance of unliving flesh, large enough to take over entire nations! And every time a kingdom is obliterated, a new batch of flesh shall spread over the land and eventualy join the bulky mass! Think about a whole, unliving kingdom of flesh, with a single pony able to control and know whatever is going on within it with a thought! True omipresence! Heck, I could even crib my uncles spell list and merge with it truly! From this single batch of meat-carpet in the basement of a Sibearian summer house shall become a global power!

Muahahahahahaha! Muawheheheheh!

I know, isnt it just brillant! The best part is, its-

I dont want to hear you talk. This is the most vile act I could conceive of, and-

-our honeymoon suite!

....Huh? Wait, what?

Don't you like it? I was going to take some time before it becomes big enough for that party, but I might as well pop the question now. I mean, this baby should be grown by that time.....

Oh....oh, of course I would!

All accounted for, Boffie! All you need to do is use the corect technology matrices to refine the width of the beam! You can have a wide, relatively low-power beam that will merely melt anything it hits within half a mile, or you can refine that beam to an inch wide and start cutting off slices of planets!

I mean, if you were wantonly reckless. Which I'm not.

Oh, it's that it launches anything that would have been summoned out of the original portal at high speeds.

By the way, you really may want to fix that anti-teleport spell; it's got a rather glaring blind-spot to technological teleportation. Typical spellcasting; forgets about science.

What was that about?

Bah, probably one of Boffensparks lackys.

He has lackys?

I dont think so, but that's the only way I could explain the stupid that just came from his mouth.

Why?

The Return To Sender System is multi-layered, in that anything coming at us in the general area at stupidly high speeds is also treated as being "sent".

But did he not say that is was technowhatever in nature?

...Oh my.

Oh, what is it now? Tell me, it's good for us at least.

Those projectiles will continualy move at stupidly high speeds, forever, until the shields go down or whatever sent the objects is distroyed.

So that rumble in the distance-

is the sound of a the world shaking because of the moving objects being moved back and forth at the speed of light.

But, what if there missiles or somesuch? Should they have gone off by now?

They would only go off if they leave whatever protective teliportation "bubble" there in.

.....Oh shoot.

Yeah, good thing this house is mobile.

Huh?

What, do you think I would have enchanted our new hide-away to not be Boffenproof? With a single flick of a horn,

"flash of light"

the house can switch spots with a exact replica in some minor backwater near Canterlot.

...Nice. So, are we safe?

Pretty much, those projectiles should hit the other house right about now. It's been tested to fool most targeting systems, and the emergancy anti-scrying measures have been activated. I probably could not find this place if I had to find it.

But how will a bunch of ponies react to small meat-covered house?

Ehh, this town is known for weird crap. It's near the Everfree, you know,
"Meanwhile"

Oh, Applejack, it's probably one of Twilights experiments!

I think I'm having a sciencegasm; I'm having to invent new metals just to contain the force of the projectiles.

That's very nice and all, but even if you compress the thermal energy of the beam itself, it's still going to heat up anything it touches, including the air between the cannon and its target, at which point convection comes into play once again. Even if you manage to reduce lost heat to 1%, and that's being optimistic, at those temperatures you'll still be igniting anything between you and your target.
And you still have the issue of what happens when Silent Night activates his fire protection spells.

I grant that convection may be a bit of a problem, as is the fact that once you shoot one projectile, all the air in the way will be consumed in one glorious fusion reaction. However, if you continue to move the beam, you'll continue to hit fresh molecules to continue the reaction.

Also, let's face the fact that we're fighting Silent Night. He doesn't have the best habit of leaving the people around him alive, now does he? Back in Manehattan, all he had was cultists after everyone else fled or was "converted."

The only problem is that whoever fires the gun is likely to be fried, even if it involves a shield. So, it'll have to be Blunt Trauma; he's indestructible.

An intriguing use of teleporters. And tell me, what will happen when one of the spells wears off? Either you and your base get wiped from existence and Equestria is bathed in heavily irradiated magical materials, or some isolated spot on Equestrian soil becomes the epicenter of a planet-destroying earthquake. You know how supposedly an asteroid collided with Equestria somewhere near Marexico, and it wiped out the humans? This would be worse by about 16 orders of magnitude.

Your thoughtfulness surprises me. I still intend to make things right, though.

I must know: how did you get enough Orbital Bubble cannons back into operation in order to irradiate the planet like that?

So, Boffie, assuming the spell holds up to the stress of innumerable transfers of millions of object, you should be able to keep this up indefinitely. If I didn't already have unlimited, clean energy, I would be slightly impressed.

Unfortunately, the process is far too energy-hungry to maintain for any extended period of time; to put things into perspective, thus far the process has drained the potential energy out of 75% of your explosives stockpile, and most of the remaining energy will be consumed over the next day or two. Once the available energy dip below a certain threshold, the remaining force will be applied to the corrupted OFCs superstructure, destroying them as a result. (Don’t worry about me, I’ll still have my Friendship Cannon Array available in the meantime).
To answer an earlier question of yours, I didn’t repair the…alterations made to the OFCs by Discord, rather, I used this process to work with them. You see, at normal intensities, the OBCs would simple create a bubble of friendship energy that would be harmlessly deflected off of the ionosphere. By setting the OBCs to their lowest possible setting, however, I was able to create a fine “mist” of friendship radiation able to pass into the atmosphere. After that it was merely a matter of finding a way to boost the energy output to a sufficient level that said “mist” would achieve total atmospheric penetration.

By the by, have you started feeling the euphoria yet? I’ve already had to temporarily suspend work up here, as things have become…less than professional.

Just a thought: it would be unwise to destroy the array when you've only just learned how to use them. After all, I can find a way to power at least one for a daily irradiation like this.

Now that you mention it, I have been acting rather more insane than usual. I mean, I'm here on a cordial basis with you!

So, this is where all the craziness has gone... and it appears that all the crazed sociopaths fall apart when one small, adorable filly wanders into their midst. That's... actually sort of encouraging!

"Why are you looking at me?"

That being said, look at all this death and destruction! It's all taking place in an alternate Equestria, obviously, but still...

"You can stop looking at me any time you want to. I really won't mind." >_>

But I think we need a hero! Someone blessed with a mystical amulet and a job to save all the innocent ponies, and to bring them to less... explosive realities!

"Wait wait wait wait wait wait wait"

CANDLES BACK YOUR BAGS BECAUSE YOU'RE GOING TO EQUESTRIA, AND DON'T BOTHER ARGUING BECAUSE I HAVE DIRT ON YOU

D'=

And you get a sidekick! The lovely seraphim pony, Sera, will be your... will, uh, I guess travelling-buddy. Because no road is too long... when walked with eight hooves.

"That doesn't even sound like a..."

"Hello!" *Hugs with the fury of one thousand whispering nights*

"Ahhhh" o///o

Then go, get out of here, you have stuff to do!

I hope you guys don't mind me hanging out here after the fuss I made in the main thread. >___>;;

That's weird, I seem to have a migraine coming on. Has someone taken the Chronomangler out of stasis again, Joyreaper?
No Ma'am, Chronomangler is still safely in pan-temporal-isolation as per your strict orders.
But I've got a migraine, Joyreaper. That means temporal paradox, you know it does. *whine*
Perhaps it's something to do with the local Meteorological conditions, Bleakmane Ma'am? It appears to be raining countless temporally unhinged occurances of a single discrete entity.
What?
I said it's raining Gummy. Perhaps one of them got broken.
Ugh. Disgusting, don't they have any idea what this does to the fabric of spacetime? I'm going back to bed. Could you bring me a hot lemon drink please Joyreaper?

Anyway, Blunt, let's remember to avoid euphoric benders in the future.

I believe I may have had a couple science fests during the irradiation. It may be what we were looking for.

In a quiet little glade, where the tremors of impending doom can only be barely felt, where mad scientists and their duels with insane cultists is not heard, where cute little fillies learning to sculpt dirt is out of sight, a pony finishes sending another little village off into a different land.

The navy colt lets out a tired sigh, and puts his head in his hooves, massaging his temples. "Alright, so... that leaves two more villages in this forest, and then I'm calling it a night. Sera, are you cool with that? ...Sera?" He looks about, eyes blinking rapidly as blood suddenly rushes to his head, putting a hoof over his eyes as he looks for his erstwhile companion...

...And sees a tiny, fluffy white bunny giving a rather intimate backrub to another bunny, cooing softly and apparently making her friend very happy. "Sera, are you... are you flirting with the bunnies? I mean, just... just... come on, have things we need to do, chop chop, stop... stop doing that." The rabbit looks up at him with clear yellow and eyes, and morosely steps away from her new friend, changing with a shimmer into a six-winged pegasus mare. "Aww, come on, Candles! You're always so freaked out and twitchy and in a hurry. Maybe a massage would do you some good~" The colt harrumphs quietly and fixes his hat, taking off at a brisk pace down the forest path. "Maybe later, when there aren't a hundred more ponies to get out of here. I'm just glad we've been flying under the radar of all those crazies for now..."

As Candles trots down the path he notices a small off-shoot in the trail that leads to a recently abandoned mental hospital.
"Right, right, Sera, do you have old Mr. and Mrs. Harolds!?" Candles cries out as the last village of the forest's population hustles out into the square. The iconic shadows under his eyes are even deeper than usual as he herds the sixty or so ponies, twenty chickens, and some dogs together. "Because the butcher, the baker, and the candlestick maker are all refusing to go without them!" Even as he cries out, the panting six-winged pegasus lands next to him, dropping two elderly ponies off her back into the crowd. "Right here, Candles, I've got them right here!"

After another few seconds of manic activity, Candles surveys the suddenly silent crowd. "Alright... on three... one... two... three!" He holds up his amulet, and the air surrounding the assembled town begins to shimmer... and all color fades, making the scene appear like an old gray photograph, before a hiccuping sound belches forth and the crowd of ponies disappear. "Phew... alright, white-tail forest... completely clear of ponies. C'mon, Sera, let's go and get some rest. Sera?" Candles looks around, face twitching with nervousness. "Oh, come on, where are you now!?"

He's interrupted in his panic by a small stick banging off his head. "Silly goose, we forget somewhere!" She gestures at the large, foreboding, abandoned mental hospital. "Sera, this isn't a joke. We're dealing with power-hungry madponies, and our best bet at surviving this crazy job from the machine below is to stay under the radar for as long as we possibly can." Sera responds with a pout. "Candles, if there is even the slightest chance that there are ponies left there, we are going to help them, and that. Is. Final."

I would record the rest of their argument here, but Sera is a very forceful and persuasive pony, while Candles... isn't. And so the two entered the abandoned hospital!

In abandoned mental hospital

Hello?! Is anypony there?! You forgot to let me out!

"You see!? Do you see! I toooooold yooouuuu~" She delivers a noseboop to Candles slightly blushing nose, then trots in. "Hello! We're here! We'll let you out and stuff! Where are you, my precious pony~?"

As the glowing supertorch sat on the bench, Dive Bomb took a swig of a nearby water bottle. "I can never get rid of the aftertaste," he grumped, swilling a bit of water around his mouth. He stared at his creation, smirking a little as he felt the smooth joins, the rough texture of the iridescent metal under his hooves. It felt almost alive under his loving care.

"You need... a name," he mused. "That, and a good paint job. Would it be a sin to cover this kind of metal? Yes, I think it would."

"You're monologuing again, sir," came a gravelly baritone from around the door frame.

"Shhh... It's okay, Sasha... Don't listen to him." Dive Bomb grinned at his friend and manservant as Blunt appeared around the doorframe, walking on three legs so his fourth could hold a tray of sandwiches in his claws.

"I keep telling you we need to make the base doorways bigger," the purple brute grumbled, struggling to fit his massive frame through the smaller metal one. "Especially now that we don't have to fend off the occasional horde of angry villagers."

"But the salesponies still come!" the pegaus teased back. "Remember those two unicorns and their phlebotinum device?"

"As I recall, they got chased off by the mobile sentry-bots." The two had had this argument before, but both were smiling at each other.

"Anyway," Dive Bomb said, snagging a sandwich from the tray, "what news do you have from the outside world? Mmf, scrumptious, as always."

"Well," he mused, "the refugees are settling in well, though the mayor has said that we'll need to step up production of food if we want to avoid starvation. Also, long range scanners have picked up another group of rescuers. Shall we contact them?

Crumbs fell to the floor as the pegasus silently finished his sandwich. "Yes, that would be good. What do you think, dispatch a few drones, or do you want to go yourself?"

Loosing a predatory grin, the purple patchwork pony said, "Let's warm up the matter transference device. It's been a while since I got out of here."

The air over the abandoned mental hospital shimmered momentarily, then solidified into a large, light green zeppelin. "We probably drained a few reactors doing this stunt," Blunt muttered to himself from his position behind the wheel. "Mister Steel, can you maintain this position, please?"

The silver earth pony at the communications array nodded, smiling at his erstwhile enemy.

"Thank you," said the enormous construct, revealing a genuine smile. The smile, a bit frightening in the sharpness of the teeth contained therein, bore extra weight for his next sentence: "And let's have no flying off and leaving us stranded like last time, eh?"

Chuckling, Foundry Steel ambled over and punched the hulk in his knee; he'd have punched his shoulder, had he been able. "No worries, Blunt. You'll be able to know if we leave because the music will stop." He flashed a toothy grin, displaying a large record of Wagneric opera music. "Besides, you made it out okay last time!"

Blunt half groaned, half chuckled as he moved to the boarding hatch. He dropped the rope ladder--cable and steel, specially designed to be able to support his weight.

As The Ride of the Valkyries began playing through the airship's external speakers, Blunt made his way through the front door of the mental hospital. His baritone rang through the house: "Is anyone here?"

A bit hurt, Blunt spoke around Candles. "I'm afraid not. While there are some metal parts in me, the majority of me is pony flesh. Whether that's better or worse is up to you. Now can we get on with the ponies, saving thereof?"

Right. Um. That's interesting? I guess?

Right! Saving ponies and finding the Princess! Time to get down to brass tacks!

In a field in the middle of of nowhere in particular, a shimmering form warped into existence in the air. A colt, almost a stallion, solidified and toppled into the grass. Laying by his side was a black case, and on his horn was an odd device. His cutie mark, cyan on a caramel-colored coat, was a triad of half notes. Around his neck was a necklace that had a single note, the same color as his cutie mark, on it.

"Ow. That sort of hurt."

He stands up.

"Where am I?"
(Would the middle of nowhere in particular happen to be by an abanonded asylum? ^^)

http://i50.tinypic.com/ibm5pi.png "Oh dear...Help? Whatever is going on?"
(Where is friend gray-pony?)

"Well," said the purple giant, scratching an itch behind his right ear, "My name is Blunt Trauma. The fear could probably be blamed on two things; first, as a patchwork creation of science, I'm not the prettiest face. Then there's the fact of my creator-slash-employer; as your companion has noted, he's a rather respected and feared name in the bombs manufacture industry.

Lately though, he's come to his senses somewhat and is beginning to save ponies. Which brings me to why I'm here; we heard there were some ponies in need of help, and wanted to offer a hand."

Candles *Blinkblinks*. "So... you aren't here to... huh. Well, uh... huh." He seems a bit at a loss for words! Sera, on the other hoof... "Oh oh oh this is great! See, Candles? Totally made the best decision~"

the unnamed character in deep sky blue (am taking recomendations) is another eldritch creature inhabiting silent night's old body, and he's near charnel just being friendly)

Blunt turned, and a look told him all he needed to know: Athena on the ground, unconscious; another filly being pounded into the ground by some demonic creature, while another cowered. He darted off, knuckling along on the dirt till he was outside the hospital.

"You really shouldn't do that," he said to the creature wielding the rock, as he gathered the blue filly into his arms and made for the red one. "People could get hurt." There was a clear hint of anger in his voice.

Blunt regarded the eldritch abominations that surrounded him, and the portal of doom. There was little either could do to hurt him, but he wasn't here to fight--not unless absolutely necessary. He turned, picking up the little blue filly and walked calmly to the ladder. Turning once more, he spoke to the assembled ponies--to Candle, Sera, and Thinking Cap. "Come with me if you want to live." Without checking to see if they would follow, he started climbing the ladder to the zeppelin above.

Blunt groaned as he tapped on the metal hatch of the zeppelin. "Why me?" he wondered. A blue mare whose mane fell over her eyes opened the door, and he passed up Athena.

He made his way to the bridge, and tapped Foundry Steel on the shoulder. "Stop the Wagner; I need to use the PA."

Outside, the bombastic music screeched to a halt, replaced by a rocky baritone: "Rescue Mission: Asylum, about to depart. Them's as coming had best get goin'."

Blunt coughed a bit, having inhaled a bit of down in the burst of yellow feathers. "Brilliant," he muttered, "Just brilliant." He turned to address the swirling void in front of him. "And what are you supposed to be?" he said lazily. "Another physical god? A warped eldritch being? One of my master's old science projects gone wrong? You'd be surprised how often I have to deal with those."
"Candles said they were common here, but I didn't believe him..."

Charnel, I came as soon as I felt you-

-stay silent, Silent!

....Oh, oh my.

Anyway, I am your new lord, angel. Go against my will, and I will pluck you myself and present you to Cerbarus as a gift!

....She's everything I ever wanted, and so much more!

"U-u-uh, sorry, miss... firey death mare... but I don't think Candles would like it if I started helping a flaming monster god. Also, how the hay do you know what I am?" 0~0

ARRRGH burning ash everywhere! Thinking Cap flails around preventing Candles from getting close to him by accident.

Who is talking anyways? And what smells like cupcakes? Thinking Cap has got his eyes closed as he stumbles around accidently bumping one of the abominations into Charnel's reality hole
"No you... oh, PONYFEATHERS, COME ON MAN!"

"The upper floors begin to drip semi-molten iron drops as the black fire piller ravages it, causing at least a few to land on thubbies location"

I will end you, foolish cultist! The sound of the pink one's essance screaming in my blaze brings me joy your loathsome mind could not fathom without a dictionary!

"meanwhile"

Ahh, it's been a long while since I had the opportunity to, well, eat like that. Got any more of those...what did you call them, gummies? Yes, they are quite difficult to get down, but whatever there essance was made of, it was quite good.

I mean, what did you expect for me to do with beasts of shadow, green pony who's name I cannot remember? A being like mine need a extra supplement of shadow-stuff in there diet now and then. Keeps the animation smooth.

Who just stepped in me again!
"...Impossible to fathom without a dictionary? Pfftttheeheeheeheehee!"

Blunt regarded the eldritch abominations that surrounded him, and the portal of doom. There was little either could do to hurt him, but he wasn't here to fight--not unless absolutely necessary. He turned, picking up the little blue filly and walked calmly to the ladder. Turning once more, he spoke to the assembled ponies--to Candle, Sera, and Thinking Cap. "Come with me if you want to live." Without checking to see if they would follow, he started climbing the ladder to the zeppelin above.

Blunt groaned as he tapped on the metal hatch of the zeppelin. "Why me?" he wondered. A blue mare whose mane fell over her eyes opened the door, and he passed up Athena.

He made his way to the bridge, and tapped Foundry Steel on the shoulder. "Stop the Wagner; I need to use the PA."

Outside, the bombastic music screeched to a halt, replaced by a rocky baritone: "Rescue Mission: Asylum, about to depart. Them's as coming had best get goin'."

"Aw, Candles can just tel--mrpph!" The seraphim is interrupted by a navy hoof stuffed in her mouth, as Candles hoists her on his back and hops onto the ladder! "Sure, yeah, let's get out of here!"

The shadows danced in the light from Charnel's reality-hole.
One of them twisted, solidified and became a black, shiny box floating in the air. It has writing inscribed on it.

This Box will open only for the pony named Charnel.
Inside is a gift, especially for her.
The Box contains a book made out of some kind of unnaturally durable material.http://fc09.deviantart.net/fs70/f/2012/290/e/d/a_cautionary_tale_by_mister_cope-d5i4bnd.png
The small print on the back claims the book to have been written by Bleakmane the Space Princess.
There is also an inscription.

Know where you are from to know what you are.

.....Huh. You know, normaly I would take offence, but according to mom that's how it happened. You left out the forcing of the creatures of Zebrica to convert to her side or die and be reanimated and the evental creation of the one-world order, but otherwise it's a nice abbriviated version.

"Interdimensional posing contest," sighed Blunt as he returned from the bridge. "It happens. They show up, shout at each other, tear open the fabric of space and time, and then leave."

Looking at the assembled ponies, he smiled a bit, and said, "Scones?" The proffered treats steamed, promising blueberry enjoyment.

I was stopping the distruction in all of those areas. You see that stallion, my dear, saying horrible things about me? He has a friend named Boffenspark. You might have heard of him. Blew up Canterlot. Yes, that terrorist is the one who caused that devistation, and my personal duty, as a stallion ready to die,is to get as many ponies to safty as I can before he strikes.

As for those claims against me, the eldrich cultist is presumably the green-coated stallion battling the dragon over there, the maniac being the pony named Boffenspark, the fool telling you lies being the insane one, and myself being the necromantic.

Looking away and awkwardly stretching his neck, Blunt sighs. "That might be a tad difficult. As far as we know, she was in Canterlot when it... Well, when it exploded. Silent Night here was attacking the city, Boffinspark came to stop him. Giant monsters were released by both sides, and Boffinspark ordered an OFC strike into the middle of the city. Those triggered the bombs planted there by my employer in the hopes of avoiding a conflict, very delicate things made of glass, magnets, and antimatter."

He chuckled a bit before continuing. "The end result is that the government is in shreds, and the Princesses are missing. Canterlot could be considered either as a hemispherical depression in the ground where there used to be a mountain, or as the bits and pieces of shrapnel throughout Equestria."

He pulled a small chunk of scorched stone from a pouch hidden in his thick fur. "As far as I can figure, this part came from the royal library. It has very distinctive pink marbling in it."

No no no that can't be right. Princess Celestia was already missing when I was put in that asylum and well we don't know what Princess Luna was doing but I like to think she was in hiding waiting for Princess Celestia. Anyways Canterlot was still intact when they put me in that asylum so there's no way she'd be in Canterlot right?

I just think we should start there to try and find clues for where the Princess went.

"As you will," Blunt shrugs. "Mr. Steel? Set a heading for the Canterlot ruins." Steel grinned, dashing to the bridge and pushing Engine one's throttle forward a touch. Blunt braced himself; jet technology was still a new invention, and could be a bit tricky, especially with Steel at the controls. The great, forward mounted beast grumbled restlessly, angry at being awoken from its peaceful slumber, and then roared its defiance at the bridge.

"Oh, Luna; I love my job," grinned the cocky earth stallion, spinning the ship's wheel rapidly. The Zeppelin turned quickly for such a large and heavy thing; in only a few minutes, the ship's compass registered, and several things happened in quick succession. First, Engine 2 kicked over, growling just as fiercely as her twin brother. Second, the ship shuddered as the two engine throttles were shoved to the stops.

As the furniture slid towards the back of the ship, Blunt grumbled, "Next time I fly the ship."

Dammit, Boffinspark, one of the few times Equestria could actually benefit from your stupidity and you go missing. Stupid giant airship-thing must be the size of Manehatten. Wait a minute, what's that? *hears laughter coming from a door up ahead*

-wait, wait, it gets better, with half the town on fire and the other half completely flooded, the robot's control mechanism goes totally out of control and it crashes into the town hall. Ahahahahaha! Anyway, and that's how I was banned from helping with Winter Wrap Up.

*barges into the room* BOFFINSPARK! What in the name of Tambelon are you doing goofing around! There's a massive fight going on at the site of an abandoned asylum between the corpse's freak daughter and...whatever the Tartarus the thing in the straightjacket is! Shouldn't you be trying to stop them? Or be making things worse?

Eh, I wouldn't worry about that if I were you. The end result of my retrovirus experiment is already bearing down on them.

End result of your what now?

The alicornization project. See for yourself. Computer, onscreen.
http://fc04.deviantart.net/fs71/f/2012/197/1/3/mane6_as_alicorns_by_evolifanno1-d57fync.png

By my calculations, the enhanced effects of the retrovirus will be passed onto the Elements of Harmony, resulting in a massive power boost far in excess of anything I or Dive Bomb could produce on our own.

I'm almost afraid to ask, but how much in excess are we talking about?

I'd say their current output would exceed our combined weaponized-friendship capabilities by a factor of ten-

Why, yes. I would know because he showed it off at the last Federation of Undead and Necromancers meeting.

Called it.

The purple monster sighed and gestured around himself; the matte stainless steel walls were purposely built larger than was necessary, to accommodate the patchwork creation, giving him an impressive backdrop. "Welcome, I suppose is the traditional greeting, even if the emotion that usually accompanies it is absent. This is the BTS Pinfeather, one of the light transports in the BalmasTech fleet. It's only lightly armed with two AFCs and a wing of drones. Oh, and a couple hoofheld Friendship Cannons."

....Ah. Any chance you have some sort of negative-energy vat to used to dampen leaks of Postive-energy from the Friendship Cannons, as required by equestrian regulations? I can work with just a few moments with one.

The pony, while obviously embarrassed, looked proudly at Thinking Cap. "Dive Bomb has his flaws; when it comes to science, he does have the tendency to go--to use an overused stereotype--mad, but it's temporary fits of brilliance. He may be my creator, but I view him more like a son; young and in need of guidance. Heh, I remember the old days when he was just a little colt, first experimenting with antimatter; he got the magnet balance wrong and blew up the neighborhood."

Yes, Igor, I'm well aware of the fact that it could have been disatrous had the entire base not been fireproofed some time ago. Really, I'm married to Fire Elemental Royalty, does anypony actually expect fire to function against me? In any case, Nightcore has clearly underestimated me; if she had been paying attention, she'd have noticed that I had you reroute her teleportation charm to the pony Discord statue, as opposed to the now imprisoned spirit of chaos.

Ook, ook ook!

No, Igor, I don't think handing Charnel a grenadiation device was overdoing it at all.

Grendadiation device?

One of my latest inventions. I altered the design of Dive Bomb's grennukes to produce high-saturation, low-intensity friendship radiation as opposed to their normal explosive payload. Granted, it should disintegrate that eyesore of a castle of hers, but given that Nightcore is neither undead nor a draconequs, she should get off with just a heady euphoria, as opposed to, say, being petrified.

I'm pretty sure you are dead...I mean I can see your bones! Thinking Caps says having turned around and ran off to go vomit. He has since recovered though.

Anyways it doesn't matter! We have to go to Canterlot to find Princess Celestia! She can decide what to do with you.
"I don't think we should leave him along with them..."

Looking away and awkwardly stretching his neck, Blunt sighs. "That might be a tad difficult. As far as we know, she was in Canterlot when it... Well, when it exploded. Silent Night here was attacking the city, Boffinspark came to stop him. Giant monsters were released by both sides, and Boffinspark ordered an OFC strike into the middle of the city. Those triggered the bombs planted there by my employer in the hopes of avoiding a conflict, very delicate things made of glass, magnets, and antimatter."

He chuckled a bit before continuing. "The end result is that the government is in shreds, and the Princesses are missing. Canterlot could be considered either as a hemispherical depression in the ground where there used to be a mountain, or as the bits and pieces of shrapnel throughout Equestria."

He pulled a small chunk of scorched stone from a pouch hidden in his thick fur. "As far as I can figure, this part came from the royal library. It has very distinctive pink marbling in it."
._.

Hold up a second. Your boss blew up Canterlot! And you work for this pony?!

"It was an accident!" Blunt protested. "If Boffinspark and Silent hadn't been fighting there, the bombs would never have gone off! Heck, Celestia knew about them and didn't do anything!"

The pony, while obviously embarrassed, looked proudly at Thinking Cap. "Dive Bomb has his flaws; when it comes to science, he does have the tendency to go--to use an overused stereotype--mad, but it's temporary fits of brilliance. He may be my creator, but I view him more like a son; young and in need of guidance.

The shadow of the newly-minted Draconequuis statue formerly known as Nightcore lengthened, darkened and began to wrap itself around the object supposedly casting it.

I promised myself I'd restrain my urges to steal random objects of power, you know. But oh, in your current state you're cute as a button and just one won't hurt.

The statue dissapears into it's own shadow like a pony lost in quicksand and is gone from the room.

Nightcore the Statue floats for a time in an uncertain, inky-black void.

"You really don't have to leave," Blunt said sadly. "We so rarely get visitors, and Dive Bomb's been working so hard to make things right with Equestria. Could you just give him a chance, for my sake if not for his?" It wasn't easy to pull puppy-dog eyes when your face has so many different parts to it, but Blunt managed.

"Look," sighed the patchwork pony. "I have no particular friendship with you. However, while Dive Bomb may pursue an alliance with Boffinspark, I cannot respect the good professor's methods. As such, you may have sanctuary on this vessel. The brig is a null-magic area, where the dear professor can't send his detestable portals. Would you consent to being placed there in the interests of protection?"

Good, good. Havent spontainously exploded, became a non statue draconequuis again or otherwise cause hilarious hijinks. I think you check out.
The shadow caresses the statue, gently.

Hmm. What to do with you though? I could have you installed on the Darkspire, you'd look absolutely lovely in one of the spinal atriums, but there's always the chance that the Darkspire would eat your soul when we weren't looking. Ooh, I have a much better idea!

The shadows peeled away as the statue shifts planes once more. The unmistakeable sensation of entering someone elses private demiplane washed over her like soapy water. She now stood as the center piece of an ancient fountain in a small town square. The buildings were in a style not unlike ancient equestrian archetecture but subtly different. Happy rural ponyfolk in strange garb went about their business, unmindful of the newly appeared Draconequuis statue. The town was surrounded by ferocious looking mountains covered in thick pine forest and the whole thing got very blurry if she focused on the horizon.

It's peaceful here. You might enjoy it for a while, if you let yourself.
Bleakmane was sitting on the edge of the fountain, dangling her legs in the water idly.
It looks to me like you've had a rather difficult time of it, lately. Go on, think up and tell me all about it.

Silent looked at the patchwork pony with glowing red orbs (his eyes have yet to regenerate).

Thank you. But please, let me to gather my power before I hide away. I am, after all, a spirit inhabiting a corpse. I would rather not be reduced to a spirit in a nonmagical, nonwalking corpse.

*sighs* I'm guessing you have to be absolutely desparate if you're coming to me for...wait a second, did you say she's turned herself into a draconequus? BWAHAHAHAHAHA! Oh, this is too rich! You see, the professor sent some friendship-radiation bomb along with Charnel when he sent her back to your castle. In all likelihood, Nightcore's a statue right about now.
Now, if it makes you feel better, I do know of a way to de-petrify her and change her back to normal, but I'll only help you on one condition; the two of you have to promise to leave Equestria. It's bad enough that I have to deal with the fallout from the professor's feud with Silent Night without also having to clean up after his niece's stupidity.

*Meanwhile*
Oh, Octy, there's a playmate here for you.

*a portal opens, from which a tentacle emerges, snatches up the pinkie-zombie-thing, and retreats*

I'm simply never going to understand why that grotesque thing insists on sending it's avatars here when it knows that Octy can break down the very forces that permit its existance.

I am Princess Bleakmane and this is my homeland. Safe and sound, as it has been since I reclaimed it.

I'm afraid I haven't the faintest idea how to unpetrify you. I'm not even entirely sure why that energy the scientist insists on mislabeling friendship radiation does this in the first place.

"Certainly. Please, follow me." As the purple pony moved through the ship with his fellow in tow, the decor abruptly gave way from white space-age paneling to a more industrial steel finish. They reached the brig in good time, and Blunt placed his claws on a scanner by the door. As gears clicked and hummed in the background, Blunt turned to the undead beside him, and said, "Now, you'll be very comfortable. With any luck, you won't even notice the passage of time." With the ghoul firmly settled in the brig, and the null-magic field firmly in place, Blunt sealed the door, watching it settle and lock itself, melding with the cube of the brig. He paused and considered, and then activated the air processing system as well. Even if the ghoul didn't need air, it was still a common courtesy.

Blunt chuckled as he listened to the message on his communicator before moving towards the bridge, and more importantly the communications array. Once there, he paused and cleared his throat.

Regarding the criminal Silent Night: He is currently being held in custody in what may be called in laypony terms, an antimagic field. This means that any and all magics entering the area are nullified; no positive or negative energy, no portals, and certainly no undeath-sustaining necromantic spells. Thus, he has been rendered helpless, trapped, and contained. Should his mortal coil shuffle off, the spirit shall nevertheless remain trapped inside the area due to a number of spells and circles placed about the exterior of the container.

Also, in the future please remind your employer that while his portals may open very nearly anywhere, so do those of Dive Bomb.

"Silent attempts to huddle under one of the angels wings, in a attempt to get out of sight from the rest of the crew"
Well... this is surprisingly easy. The seraphim's wings are rather expansive and easy to hide behind, and honestly, despite Silent's grotesque appearance, the angel doesn't seem to mind is proximity overmuch.

"You really don't have to leave," Blunt said sadly. "We so rarely get visitors, and Dive Bomb's been working so hard to make things right with Equestria.

Nominally, we're neutral between the two, a remnant of Dive Bomb's past as a weapons dealer. However, Dive Bomb sympathizes much more with Boffinspark, seeing as both are mad scientists, and both have the good of Equestria in mind, if only in name. I, personally, find Boffinspark detestable; his methods smack of acceptable collateral damage, with little regard for the common pony or the consequences of his actions. Since Silent Night does not truly represent the cult anymore, I've taken him into custody. He should be relatively harmless inside the brig, though taking care of his offspring may be a problem."

Aaw. That's really quite touching. Look, I'm no expert but here are a couple of things to think about. Don't you find it strange that firing something that looks like the magic created by the elements of harmony at a reality warper seems to work just as well as using the magical items themselves and still seems to cause petrification?
Do you honestly believe that the concept of Friendship emits energy waves or exists in the form of particles? Or that companionship is innately harmful to the undead?

Is there somewhere you'd like me to drop you off?
