    Okay, so neigh to the pancakes. She stepped forward to embrace the poor stallion. "I'm sorry, Sandy," She said grimly. "We did collect your file that we found over there, when you're ready, perhaps you might find some answers."

    He began conversationally with his affable dark chocolate voice, the sort straight mares swooned over, and some stallions. Oh Crispin Freeman...I uh...nevermind. "Have a drink, it can never be too early, or late for a nice shot of scotch," He smiled taking in a subtle view of the mare.
    "No thank you, Scotch isn't my kind of drink." she says, politely waving off his offer. Besides, it was probably poisoned.


    "Yes, she is replaceable, like most things, but there was a fondness, oh well,"
    He said never changing from his tone. "I called you here, for one simple reason my dear. I know, that you defected from the Dark Forces, there's really hardly anything that goes on in the Dark Forces that I don't know about to be honest. It takes real nerves of steel to defy that fool 'John', and I must say, I'm impressed."

    "Before I go on with telling you with why I summoned for you, I'd like to know, why did you defect? What brought you exactly to do so?"

    "I decided it wasn't my kind of thing any more, and there was no hope of advancement without crossing the moral event horizon, which does not suit my goals. I'm afraid that's as much as you're going to get from me." she told him.

    "Fair enough,"
    He said as he grabbed the shot her gave her and drank it himself. Why waste good scotch?

    "Anyhoof, to cut to the chase, I want you to join my side, be my right hoof, you will find no where else such an offer with fortuitous a perks that come with it,"
    He said, leaving it just vague enough to provoke questions.

    "What kind of perks did you have in mind? Or am I supposed to just bring up anything I want and you say yes or no?" she asks.

    He just chuckled at first and looked at the zerg pony intently. He pulled out a large vanilla folder and opened it to the first page. There was a candid photo of Mystic attached. "As you can guess, I know, a lot about you my dear, including, your 'zerg virus'. What would you do, if I told you, I can possibly provide you a cure for it?" His affable tone never wavered.

    "A lot of different things. Ask you why you haven't used it yet, call BS, Not really give much of a crap because there are lots of ponies I could hire if I wanted to get it gone, stuff like that." she responds. She really doesn't care if Balboa has the ability to do that or not, she doesn't trust him at this point.

    "I call your bluff Miss Mystic Muse, about there being lots of ponies you could hire to get it gone, I can assure you, I made sure there aren't many."
    He went about things idly, shifting through the manilla folder. "What do you know about me, Miss Mystic Muse? I'm curious on what formed your mistrusting perceptions towards me?" How does he know about that she doesn't trust him? Fox Trot wasn't the only pony between the two who could read body language, also, common sense.

    Icy had a bad morning. First, she woke up with the worst nausea she had in weeks, spending the next hour kneeling over the toilet bowl. Then Esmeralda began to start another catfight for ice-cream, which she firmly put down. That resulted in a headache which was only now starting to subside after generous amount of aspirin. Which she now ran out.

    Yeah, being pregnant is all sunshine and roses here. Grumbling at the turn of events, she put on her cloak and hood and began walking to the nearest pharmacy to get herself more aspirin.

    HT's bored, so Lone Star's highly confused, stumbling and circuitious path to the clinic will take him by the phramacy. And now he's singing Queen under his breath.

    "Don't stop me now/I'm havin' such a good time/I'm havin' a ball..." He muttered as he stumbled a little. He was still wearing his cloak...

    "You see, when almost every pony you've ever met has had a desire to kill you, you tend to not trust many ponies any more. Now, somepony with your reputation who clearly knows a lot about me is coming to me, offering a cure to the zerg virus, and asking me to be their right hand? That just screams suspicious." she responds.

    Rainbow

    The sniper rubs her nose and wipes her eyes. She is used too waiting and crying in to the bottom of a brown bottle. She pushes herself off of Sandy and backs away. "Sorry... let me clean up before eating." she peeps before darting off.

    She is not used to this. Being so emotional is not natural to her. She is the mental support system of the ship in her mind.

    "Right hoof, Miss Mystic, not hand, that would be monkeys, and they throw feces. You're not a monkey who throws feces."
    He said to be a little silly.

    "Anyhoof, you have all the right to be suspicious. After all, one could expect consequences for your defection of the Dark Forces. But I assure you, there is no need to be suspicious of me. I simply desire, to put you under my payroll."

    "I have no reason to hide it from you, I don't care for the Dark Forces, they are but a means to my goals, just resources. I do not care for John, his motives and methods are too archaic and have no place in today's world, they are things of comic book villiany. Your rebellion against his wishes, struck a cord, one that said you could be a possible ally. And I know I'm not wrong when I say you could use allies as well."

    "You'd be correct about that. Well, you've mentioned what you get out of this. What do I get out of it? Besides the knowledge that there's one less pony who wants to slit my throat while I sleep?" Mystic says.

    He wagged a brow at the last one. he calmly sipped from his bottle of scotch, foregoing the shot glasses. "Could I get you a beverage?"

    "Now you're just trying to be stubborn on purpose, but fair enough, though you seem to underestimate what I can do,"
    He lopsidedly smiled. He stood up from his cushion behind his desk and walked over to a walled mirror and adjusted his black bow. He let the moment marinate before he decided to address her questioning about his goals. There was neigh a sign if he was lying or not, he valued his control over his body. Another gift one could say Fox had received, though it was less refined than Balboa's.

    "I want to protect Equestria from the villains who would seek to destroy her. To restore her to her former glory and rid the truly wicked who would bring only her down fall. An Equestria where the pure who hunger and thirst after righteousness, shall find their plates and goblets overfilled. I seek an Equestria where even the smallest of voice shall be heard. An Equestria we can be proud of, an Equestria where our children will not be burden by our mistakes. An impossible task one might say. But I say neigh. It need not be an impossible goal not when you have the ponies who are willing to do all that they can to bring this future into fruition,"
    There was an irresistible allure to his words, each word filled with hope and promise. There was a warmth to his voice, one that called for the ears to heed every word and be comforted. He affably smiled at Mystic glancing in her direction before he walked to his window and drew back the thick velvet curtain. He looked out the window, his back to Mystic. The sun that poured in giving him a heavenly glow. "An Equestria deserving of the sweet sunshine of the sun goddess, and the beauty of the night of the moon goddess."

    "Hover's around. You're safe, buddy. We all are." Sliverpine forced a smile to his face. "I think the captain made an excellent suggestion. I'll go and prepare the pancakes." With that, he slipped out of the room and made his way towards the galley.

    So preoccupied with counting pebbles on the street that Icy didn't notice Lone Star wandering by at first. It was only when her ears caught the familiar tune that she sharply looked up, only to see Lone Star stumbling about. "Lone Star?" she called incredulously.

    "It's okay, Sandy. Everypony is okay. Though your friends had apparently been a part of something called the Dark Forces for a while...it wasn't your luck."
    He patted Sandy's hoof comfortingly.
    "Thankfully though, we managed to save several others that they were tormenting, only one of which is currently awake. The rest are out cold with severe wounds."

    He lopsidedly smiled. He stood up from his cushion behind his desk and walked over to a walled mirror and adjusted his black bow. He let the moment marinate before he decided to address her questioning about his goals. There was neigh a sign if he was lying or not, he valued his control over his body. Another gift one could say Fox had received, though it was less refined than Balboa's.

    "I want to protect Equestria from the villains who would seek to destroy her. To restore her to her former glory and rid the truly wicked who would bring only her down fall. An Equestria where the pure who hunger and thirst after righteousness, shall find their plates and goblets overfilled. I seek an Equestria where even the smallest of voice shall be heard. An Equestria we can be proud of, an Equestria where our children will not be burden by our mistakes. An impossible task one might say. But I say neigh. It need not be an impossible goal not when you have the ponies who are willing to do all that they can to bring this future into fruition,"
    There was an irresistible allure to his words, each word filled with hope and promise. There was a warmth to his voice, one that called for the ears to heed every word and be comforted. He affably smiled at Mystic glancing in her direction before he walked to his window and drew back the thick velvet curtain. He looked out the window, his back to Mystic. The sun that poured in giving him a heavenly glow. "An Equestria deserving of the sweet sunshine of the sun goddess, and the beauty of the night of the moon goddess."
    "Alright. Your scientists who can help with the Zerg virus, they're going to help with something else. My form can adapt the abilities of what I've assimilated. Theoretically I should be able to transform as well. They're going to help me be able to transform back into a normal pegasus and back into this form at will. After that, I want you to use your reputation to help me restore my place in the nobility. If you really want to bring Equestria back to normal, we need to get rid of the corrupt nobles, and I mean all of them. Having a mole in the nobility will help. Of course, none of it will be traceable back to you." Mystic says, naturally leaving a few things about dealing with the nobles unsaid. "Throw that in, and we have a deal." she says. She has her doubts about how valuable he considers her, but she's pretty sure this will appeal to him in some way.

    "And here I thought you were going to request me something difficult to do,"
    He guffawed wholeheartedly and then stopped on a dime. "I don't want to bring Equestria back to normal, I thought I was clear on that. Normal is what it is right now." His eyes narrowed for a nanosecond and then returned to his cordial eyes. "As for the nobles, I'm more so than aware of what needs to be done with them, and the problem they present. I do not possess the cutie mark I have for no reason."


    "Regardless, I can throw that in."
    She should have doubts on how valuable he considers her, more so if she can't fulfill the expectations that will be placed on her. "Also, I think I could do for some lunch."

    "What's diffrent about that? Iron 'n steel are both good for killin' ponies already! Of course, poison's different, but poison's not very excitin'. It's so much simpler 'n more fun just to stab somepony in the head than to poison 'em if ya want to kill 'em, ya know!" Blades laughed. "'N speakin' of which..." Once again, she raised the knife.
    When in doubt, use cute little dragons.

    Hate me if you want. But that's your issue to fix, not mine.

    She didn't let him go yet, lest he see her small shoulder injury and make a big deal out of it. "Though, if we're going to talk....its probably best in a non crowded place."

    Sandy shook his head, trying not to think about all the ways they could've been killed on his account. Or what Snow and Copper could've been thinking, doing all this. Or who else his vile, cursed luck would destroy next. He sat there overwhelmed, held by his Captain and surrounded by his friends, his real friends. For how long, he wasn't quite sure. Soon enough, he wrapped his own little forelegs around Gear and hugged her tight. "Th-thank you. Thank you everypony, I...I don't rightly know...what all happened yet...or why...b-but thank you." He let go, and dried his eyes a final time. "And...a little breakfast don't sound too bad..."
    I'm developing a game. Let's see what happens! Complex.
