Domination of Equestria - T+37 days.
“All troops, spread out! I want every corridor saturated with guards.”
“Sir, yes sir!”
“Come on Folded Steel, we’re taking this one.”
“Copper Shield? I’m with you? Awesome. Isn’t this the corridor with the damaged camera?”
“Yea, it’s just up ahead. Guns out, you ready?”
“Ready to smoke some rebel skum? Hells yea, always.”
“Right, here’s the corner, on three.
One,
Two,
Three!”
“Clear!”
“Yea, clear. Lemme look at that camera.”
“Huh? Why?”
“Yea, thought so. Simple short. These were thrown up in a hurry. See right here? Under the back plate the inner wires aren’t screwed in right.”
“Yea, you’re right. So that’s why we’ve been having so many full scale alerts lately?”
“Yeup. Whoever installed these did it on the cheap. Cheap and nasty.”
“Wait, it wouldn’t happen to be that guy in the courtyard would it?”
“Security Conscious? Yea it was his contract. Thing is, turned out some of it was deliberate.”
“What?”
“Yea, he loosened the wires on an unknown number of cameras while his team was installing them.”
“Oh man. How did they find out?”
“He was caught in the raid on that last meeting of Rabble Rousers.”
“Yea? I heard of that one. Didn’t catch the ring leader though.”
“No, unfortunately. Right. I’m done here. Control, can you see me now?”
”Yeup, we’ve got your ugly mug waving at us on feed now. Clean your hooves dude, they’re filthy”
“Hah, yea. Will do. Hey Copper, wanna go to the pub later?”
“Sounds great. While we’re at it you can show me how you did that with the camera without calling tech.”
“Sure. It’s pretty easy actually…”
Overlord Rule No:67 No matter how many shorts we have in the system, my guards will be instructed to treat every surveillance camera malfunction as a full-scale emergency.
It would take SOME doing but all these chapters could make such a wonderful story line.
NOT saying that all this isn't amusing to read, just saying.
6505281 Yeah, I really hope that when it's finished either the author or someone else will make a list of the chapters in chronological order. It would make for a great read.
That was fun, may I have another? Looking forward to more.
Keep up the good work. Deus tecum.
You might be tempted to skip on protocol on an instance where the likelihood is a dake alarm it's high, but even if there is a 99% chance it's a false alarm.
DO NOT EVER DO SO!
Again it's better to be careful than hasty else you might do something you later regret.

Don't you risk spreading your resources too thin this way?
6505995 not if you employ a decent supply of first, second, and third teir response teams and then have your normal patrols on top of those. this way its like police and swat teams. plus a full scale emergency should trigger a full lockdown of all systems and entrances with magnetic 6 inch thick titianium blast doors coming down to cover hallways and doors.
You really should get them fixed though.
Dear Author, "yea" is pronounced "yay". As in "yea or nay". The word you're probably looking for is "yeah", which rhymes with "air".
6505387 I'm planning to.... matter of fact idk why I cant start the list... might as well get some of the workload done for later...
6505387 I see an issue in my plan to create a list now. Every new chapter budges all the links around...
The Disadvantage of this is that its now the easiest way to cause a full scale distraction is by setting up a delayed explosive behind the wall of a camera for 3 minutes, sneak to the other side of the base with a uniform on, then proceed to infiltrate the "control center" and find that it was the execution room and get killed by guards, of course if they find the real control room its bad.
Simple solution is to keep the guards in the execution room in there even on a full scale DEFCON 4 emergency (DEFCON 5 is nukes, so evacuate)

Defcon 5 is world peace. Defcon 1 is nukes.
