Is this a Fallout: Equestria story?

It's written clearly in the title of the story darling :) Yes, it is a Fallout: Equestria story.

Heh, well my opinion of the Steel Rangers has never been very high given their reckless murdering of civilians to horde technology for no other purpose than to horde it. I haven’t read any other offshoot story of the original FoE because I wanted to have a story of my own to explain the Pre and Post-War eras.

Is Athena Crete a human? Her name sounds like a human name...

Um...she is most definitely a pony darling. If you are just now picking up the story then you've missed out on her making fun of her own name much earlier on in the story. It's a human name yes but it is a fictional being named Athena. It was my own mother's name and I wanted to honor her.

Fully refined and colored cover art to come shortly!

Thanks for the opportunity, Syntheta! I thoroughly enjoyed working with you to get it done!

Why did you make the chapters so long all of a sudden?

Wow, this was exhausting! I mean because the lack of commas. So some sentences just kept going and going! Other than that, I like it so far, I recommend using the voice read. Helps with finding the places for commas.

“Well...I wish you luck Crete.” He said solemnly. “You may have been a bit aloof with everyone but we all liked you as a neighbor. Gonna be a shame to see you go...but, we understand. Hey, if you get the chance? Why don’t you just kill that fat green bastard for us huh? Would make everyone here super happy. Not to mention the Queens would finally run Freeside normally again, which would be great.”

Why did it take me this long to get that the Queens were basically the Kings... I’m disappointed in myself. Lmao. Loving the story!

I find myself in tears. This hardened merc has found love...not in the way many FOE fics like to have, but mother's love...for a child. This is what many fics seem to ignore. This is an amazing fic so far. I do hope there will be more updates.

Wait, people actually want more of this...? I apologize for the pause. A few things got in the way of my writing for awhile...the biggest of which has been motivation.

Hey SynthetaCrete i just finished chapter twenty nine and have really enjoyed it so far. Will there be anymore chapters?

Hello there :) I apologize for the long absence. Personal concerns came up and I had to abandon this for some time. With the help of my bf I am going to be doing some reworks to this to fit the additions and minor alterations he and I have been brewing up as he is also attempting to write a story of his own involving this particular FoE universe. Don't expect chapter 30 for awhile as I will be editing the previous chapters to fit the slight expansion/redirection the story will be taking. Finally got a job after a long time unemployed so my time will be more limited again but now I've got some needed help I'll try to hop on this again. :)

Hello again everypony! Currently working my way through editing the previous chapters I had said earlier this year and have just finished work on chapter 18 :) Feel free to re-read and see the new and improved draft I've been slowly working through! So much work still left to do. :facehoof:

10885682
Hey dont sweat it just go with your own flow we can wait as long as you need fam.:ajsmug:

11004405
Why thank you! Things have been progressing slow and steady thankfully enough although I'm encountering some issues now that I'm splitting the longer chapters into two. I need to make more Pre-War chapters to fill in the gaps :twilightsheepish: I apologize until the holes are filled properly. Some other edits are expected for earlier chapters to match new lore. Hope you enjoy! :)

>not starting in a vault with characters that won’t matter in a few chapters.

I already like this lol

If the main OCs in this story were voiced, what would they sound like?

11006479
Heh, that is a pretty broad question and one I haven't quite put enough time into. I always picture Athena with Kate Beckinsdale's voice for some reason, Gold is similar to Spike's but a bit harsher and more Ghoulish, Melody...idk, Elliot Page when he was younger. The rest...I'd have to think on that for awhile but I'm not sure heh. Been more focused on the expanding lore between my boyfriend's story and this one to think about a VA cast lol. :derpytongue2:

A huge thank you to all who have helped me get to the 350k word mark and another for everyone who has stuck with me for this long through this project. Just hit my first major milestone in both word count and plot elements and I'm excited to see where it goes! :twilightsmile:

Referring to the song 'big iron' from fallout new Vegas' playlist

11136439
Lol, I got that much. It is a very well known song to any who love NV and achieved its meme status honorably.

I am not sure if I get it, Relic of the great war? 200 year old war relic?

11219058
Yep! Though I would appreciate knowing which relic you're referring to in this regard as there are more than a few mentioned. 😄

I wonder how this will all turn out? She now has a mobile home of sorts she still has a contract to complete. So she can do what she wants without being hunted with a price on her head. Good chapter.

Sorry all, progress has been slow due to my work schedule and the fact I finally bought Elden Ring and as a big FromSoft fan, it's kinda been taking up a lot of my free time. (That and writing can be rather exhausting so it can be all too easy to do something less brain intensive lol :twilightblush:)

Really good chapter my character would be proud of what Athena said because he hates slavers especially the one that killed his parents and shot, him twice in the back of his head yes he survived it but it's only because a rouge alicorn changed the path of the bullets to go around the brain and out the back. It took a few weeks for him to recover and he did, he has a farm and it does produce some crops mainly corn and a few different mutated fruits are veggies, plus he has a hidden armory of every weapon and armor including enclave power armor which was his dad's armor.

There had been a time when I was more than content to use Pre-War ammunition in my weapons as though a bit weathered, they got the job done and had a familiarity to them that was nostalgic. As the years rolled on, I began to notice that Pre-War ammunition was running more and more scarce and the quality of reloaded ammo varied too much to be reliable for my standards so, I turned my hobby into a full time gig reloading my own ammunition. Not only was I able to precisely control the powder charge but I was also able to craft specialty ammunition to flesh out my arsenal as adaptability was what earned the big money. My go-to round was almost always the ‘All Equestrian Classic’ as I liked to affectionately call it or more simply the APEI round. Armor Piercing Explosive Incendiary. Not only did it send the right kind of message to those between my sights, but it was by far the most flexible of the ammo types I had for my Pre-War beast. My only complaint would be perhaps that it was too big for every situation but, when it comes to the Wasteland, overkill was always the safest bet. Truly nothing had changed in the Post-War...

I mean, if you were an antimachinist, shouldn't you have or had access to some good sabot rounds? I mean, for a 20mm sabot that's worth... What, 60-100mm penetration of rolled homogenous armor? I mean, a standard API is fun and all with the explosive filler, but what about the joy you get from punching out each organ one by one? The joy in not having to lead as much? The challenge is knowing every shot matters with the decreased sprawling?

Having a couple of grams of explosive filler is cheating! Besides, I wouldn't be surprised if there was a tank or two around the wasteland.

11464557
Trust me, she has access to APFSDS rounds for her 25mm. She just tends to prefer a bit of a boom when she hits something since AP in general is kinda wasted on infantry-type targets who aren't in Power Armor. To be frank, using a penetrator at all is a bit of a waste for her day-to-day job but she has the money to waste and just can't get enough of casting new rounds with one included. As for tanks...well, they definitely exist although the lore for them and implementation are still being actively brainstormed since it opens a can of logistical worms of its own. Thanks for the comment! :yay:

Haven't really considered having many characters from the show appear in the story aside from some notable names like the Mane 6 and even then they are just spoken about rather than actually showing up as a character. To be frank I don't think I have included anyone outside the Mane 6 by name outside of Minuette, Derpy and a couple mentions of Rose Luck.

Awesome story please don't abandon it ps great chapter

11486029
Thank you! :) I don't plan on abandoning it, I just have an issue with being a bit slow of a writer. The original plot I had for this has been more or less scrapped at this point and I am still unsure about where I'm going with certain points which only drags it out longer. Apologies for the delays!

ok this story is really growing on me.

i am so happy to see Derpy in this story she is the true heron of G4.

OH MY Athena has a new toy to take back to her new home. The Vertibird

a awesome chapter fro a amazing story.
i do hope we get more soon

Is this still a sister story to Fallout Equestria: War Bird now that Kriegsmachine’s account has died?

11788681
Yes, I'm the one who's editing his story given he is still new to writing and by sitting idle on this one, I was also neglecting to work on his. It doesn't help his next chapter more or less needs to be written by me from scratch since most of the details is stuff I'm much more familiar with. Once his goes its own separate way again, it'll hopefully be easier for him to write on his own and get more stuff out.

wow a amazing chapter. i love it.

Steel Rangers and the Desert Rangers remind me a lot of ODST's from Halo
One thing I find interesting is there are other species joining in and helping the ponies, yet the Zebra's still pose a great challenge.

Been busy lately to remember a lot of details it seems, but this is a story I quite enjoy reading! I'll have to give it a reread to properly take it all in.

Good stuff, though! Very naturally paced chapter that kept my interest throughout it.

wow talk about a amazing chapter.
so much happening and so much more hinted at.

this hole story is Awesome.
