Fandom The Dawn Brigade, Equestria's Fall (EF)

[Ebonysdagger]

"If my special talent wasn't enchanting it would be making enemies, I think."

 

[Pleaseworkforonce]

"Hah, I know that feeling" Dim laughs as he says this. Walking over to the railing he spits off the edge. " I think my spit is 200 miles east of baltimare if my geography is any good."


(Seriously why are they mad at you, I don't remember)

 

[Ebonysdagger]

(It could have been they were mad at Blue to be honest. I just remember they got angry and took off. It's been about two weeks ago so I could be wrong.)


"Congratulations on knowing where your spit landed. Going to piss off the side next in time to hit an exes house?" Star chuckles.

 

[Pleaseworkforonce]

(Well Blue agitated Sky by offering her a smoke and he almost got Caramel killed, so I think you are in the clear)


Dim look Star straight in the eyes with a straight face "Yes"

 

[Ebonysdagger]

"I'll.. uhm.. leave you to that then. I'll go poke around the engine room to see if they'll let me see how they keep this thing powered." Star looks either impressed or disturbed. It is actually kind of hard to tell which expression he is wearing.

 

[Pleaseworkforonce]

"Hey!" Dim yells out "Make sure to ask for a hazmat suit if you want to go into the actual engine room." Dim looks over the railing with a look of determination perhaps he is furthering the joke, or perhaps some poor mare is about to get hit by frozen pee.

 

[Ebonysdagger]

"Will do." Star makes his way below decks to see about getting up close and personal with the engine.

 

[Pleaseworkforonce]

At the very bottom of the ship lies the engine room. Two guards stand guard right outside the entrance.

 

[Ebonysdagger]

"Oi. Is it alright for me to pop in and look at the engine?" Star calls to the guards ahead of actually getting close to them. "I'm curious as to how this thing runs."

 

[Pleaseworkforonce]

One of the guards orders "Present your name and rank!"

 

[Ebonysdagger]

"Star Craving and I do believe I'm a sergeant." (I think I spelled that right.)

 

[Pleaseworkforonce]

The guard nods before opening the door "Please proceed down the right hallway and into the supply depot to receive your equipment before entering the main engine room/."

 

[Ebonysdagger]

"Roger." Star proceeds to do just as requested. "Lets see what and all I'm going to have to work myself into. Hopefully this won't be likes those diving suits that require baby oil to slip into."

 

[Pleaseworkforonce]

The supply room is full of closets containing suites for various sizes and races. There is a pony waiting at the counter.

 

[Ebonysdagger]

"Hello. I understand I'm going to need to suit up to see the engine for this thing. Got something you can hook me up with?"

 

[Pleaseworkforonce]

The bored pony glances up "Oh yeah. "Grab a suite for your size and race and continue to the engine room" before he glances back down.

 

[Ebonysdagger]

'Reminds me of every secretary I've ever met.' "Alright." Star looks around for what he needs. After a few minutes he is kitted out. "Now to see this thing in action. Do I need to sign anything before I leave?"

 

[Pleaseworkforonce]

"No"


Inside the engine room there are well over a dozen ponies wandering the circular walk surrounding the large ball of mithril.The ponies are clad in the grab plastic suites that look almost like armor. There are several teams of unciorns sleeping around the core, providing it the energy it needs to run via a set of cables hooked up to their horns. The lead engineer is up a set of stairs onto a balcony overlooking everything.


Any non unicorns are moving about repairing various objects.

 

[Ebonysdagger]

Star makes his way toward the lead engineer. "That looks scarily like something I've seen before." Nearing the engineer. "Hello. Are you the one in charge here?"

 

[Pleaseworkforonce]

The eartpony glances up from his charts" Yes I am, whats the matter"

 

[Ebonysdagger]

"Nothing in particular. I just figured I would ask you about how this all works if I could. First time I've seen this setup and I figured I might as well get the answer from the one in charge. I'm one of the enchanters with the unit you all are transporting so I figured I would see how this thing ran."

 

[Pleaseworkforonce]

The earth pony gives Star a face that shouts 'Really?' before saying "The mithril core stores magic, the unicorns go to sleep and temporarily give all their magic to keep it fully charged and it can go 12000 miles on a full charge. Anything else, or may I go back to making sure we don't explode?" The sarcasm was strong.

 

[Ebonysdagger]

"That simple ehh? I was hoping for something unusual. Alright, go back to whatever you are doing then. Yesh." Star wanders around to look at things himself. "Merely a giant battery and siphoning system? Is the mithril core a black box or do they know what and how it is doing what it does I wonder."

 

[Pleaseworkforonce]

(Yeah I haven't put much thought into the core, so meh)

 

[Ebonysdagger]

(That is alright.)


For a moment Star sees something other than the machines and mithril and instead is gazing upon a group of unicorns channeling the bulk of their energy down a set of grooved artificial ley lines into a spell array around a staff. "Tsk. That attempt worked so well." He then recalls the ultimate death toll that particular arrangement led to in the end. "And still Discord made it though... meh." And then he is seeing the current world again. "Best be on my way or I'll keep having flashbacks." He starts to leave.
