Perhaps a more appropriate phrase would be 'easier than canned food?' Everyone knows that canned food is a rare delicacy in the wastelands.

Seems alright.

BACON!

YaY new Fo:E story and BACON!

Another day, another chapter.  I'm not writing them as quickly as some of you may think.  I have the first 5 completed (working on ch 6), and am just uploading them as I decide to.  Each chapter takes a couple or so weeks to finish (balancing work and my lack of a social life and what-not.).  Be patient and enjoy.  I haven't given up on the story, or you guys, yet.

nice story so far, rare to see FoE stories that are this good

looking forward to more chapters

you should add this to the FoE group.

Kinda a silly question...

How would I go about doing that?

>>15728071572807

sorry, figured it out.  

There is a reason why my avatar is Derpy...

good chapter again

Tesla... quite the companion.

If anyone sees a terrible grammar or spelling error, don't be afraid to post a comment about it.  I'll try to fix it as soon as I can.

set Foxtrot free

An aptly named perk.

>>16065661606566

What if...

no?

Oh I fuckin like this story.

>>16136861613686

Thanks

My infamous chapter six.  I only call it that because, in my opinion, it took far too long to write.

In other news, Tes x Foxtrot is best ship.

Yes. I'm a phat man stalking you through your webcam's computer that I hacked, all the while licking my cheetos covered fingertips with my salivating tounge and concentrating on your every facial expression with mild- no, extreme content. LOL. JK. JUST KIDDING. I'm just trying to make you totally at unease as i'm reading your story. Not watching through cameras. Legit.

Oh, good chapter six. Scene with raider is really good. I like he just shot her. Not start to listening and empathy.  Raiders must be just fuckin killed.

>>16436531643653

exactly.  (unlike chapter one when he gives 'mercy' to the Toll gang member)

The side effects of those Mint-Als are bound to catch up with Xero eventually.

>>16478451647845

Maybe... maybe not...

Sorry about this... It's just a re-upload of the original chapter 7.  The word count was terribad (off by over 11,000 words)

There were only a couple changes, but nothing that had an affect on the plot, just a different word choice for somethings.

If you haven't read this chapter yet, enjoy!

Please, let me know of any errors.  Uploading from .gdocs has been sketchy.  Often, entire paragraphs and some sentences don't get transferred completely.  I think I got most of them, though.

Also, in case anyone's wondering what Hyperion looks like, ta-da! (done by yours truly)

Image: http://fc07.deviantart.net/fs70/f/2013/008/1/4/hyperion_companion_by_turtledude999-d5qwnbv.png

The only thing missing from my original drawing of this guy is the 'Saturn' cutie mark.  After spending a couple hours in Inkscape, I still couldn't get the ring around it to look right, so I scrapped it out.

Anyone interested in a Map of The Outlands?  I'm in the process of making one and if the general consensus is 'yes', then I'll happily add a map at the end of each chapter.  Each map will be updated with the places Xero has thus far discovered.  But... Do you guys/gals want it in PipMap form or color-coded and such?

... THAT'S the cliffhanger you were talking about... yep. Thats one hell of a cliffhanger...

oh, and I think a map would be wonderful. Personally I'd go with PipMap form, just to keep the theme...

>>19507901950790 Sounds good.  I'll try to figure out how to convert everything to grey scale, then, since Xero's 'Manticore PipBuck' uses a white display instead of amber or green.

EDIT:  AAHG! Can't figure out how to change it to grey-scale with out doing a complete re-color.  I might end up posting two maps, a colored one (for those that like colorful pictures), and a grey-scale one (just to keep it themed).  Expect them hopefully later this week (and definitely by time the next chapter comes out)

Here's the map.  Well, a map.  I also have plans for a 'political map' (faction boundaries and whatnot) and a PipBuck styled map (but that might not be for a while).

Image: http://turtledude999.deviantart.com/gallery/?catpath=scraps#/d5rlnr9

I'm sorta kinda not really sorry about the gargantuan image size.

And if you haven't seen it yet, here's Xero's sword

I spy with my little eye.....A Fable refrence. Love it

>>19734111973411  You got it

Oh, this is really good chapter. I like how Xero acting now. Keep it up.

>>19791781979178  Will do.  Expect chapter 9 to be out sooner than expected.  got nearly a fourth of it done already.

I wasn't sure how to describe Samnite.  So I quickly whipped something up in Inkscape over a couple days.

That. Is. One. Interesting. INTRO! You certainly have a interesting way with words, which is a good skill. And that final line?

"who's ever had pie in the wasteland, right?

AWESOME!

>>20871672087167 Well, if i'm correct, there is no mention of pie in the Fallout Equestria (the kind you eat, not... wait, never mind.  I mean the kind you bake!)

>>20871672087167 also, thanks

Why ponies do not using ghouls to make electricity? Why?   Robotponies are awesome ofcourse.   Keep it up.

>>20891272089127

Because stuff.

I have to say. I am really enjoying where this story is going. Can't wait to read the next few chapters. Hope vodka shot stays an active character. I love the Russian accent

>>21136282113628

We'll see...

I really enjoyed the surgey part....  Meaning all of it. I now want a glyph eye if I can see that well

Also I didn't mention this. The pistol sniper rifle is Awsome

Still a work in progress of mine. (check out my deviantart page for some other stuff I've created)

I could have sworn that I saw a rock pile arranged to say ‘CELESTIA SUCKS’, but I guessed it was just my tiredness returning.    

I'm liking where this is going. Can't wait to have those creatures talked about

Tinker's Cutie mark.  the only thing that's taken me a shorter amount of time to draw, was the Resistance logo.

Image: http://fc04.deviantart.net/fs70/f/2013/052/2/0/tinker_s_cutie_mark_by_turtledude999-d5vshvj.png

+150,000 words!

So. He had fall and hit his head? Classic.

Awesome chapter. Tinker is my favourite character in story so far.  

Xero's character development are good. Fox and Tes.. Well, they need attention.

Story is awesome. I like it. Weakest point of it is... Xero's motivation. I still not get it, why the fuck he is went to this crazy lands? I understand his motivation to solve his mental problems. But all this trip to shitty lands to deal with some shitty organisation... You should show his thoughts on this issue more clearly, to make it more believable.

Anyway, keep it up. Story is great, comrade!

>>21882492188249

Finally!  Constructive criticism!  

And I couldn't agree with you more.

Somebody likes Skyrim.

Regolith badlands? I already love it!   It must be gray. And dry. And dead.

>>21973432197343 Yeah, the Regolith Badlands are... bad.

Kinda like this, except even more bleak, grey, and dreary.

Hey there,its the guy from deviantart that commented on the cover of this story ^^ Just a quick question was the 'do gooder' line intentional because both the dashite and Xero were drunk or were you trying to write Do Better ?

>>22871802287180

lol, neither!  'Do gooder' was completely intentional.

Hmm,the lore of the FoE series keeps getting better and better though at this rate,one has to wonder how the average wastelander even survives half the stuff that the 'heroes' go through...though the Project Horizon crew are worse off than the other heroes of the other fics i've read,yours included though I feel Xero and his friends' troubles are only beginning. Also....so much lore! I love it

>>22918692291869  Oh, there's much more to come!

And Project Horizons has the worst the wasteland has to offer.  I'd be utterly mindblown if someone creates a more sinister and deadly land.

Woohoo!  3,000 total chapter views!

>>22928812292881 One of the many milestones this story will acquire in the future. Congratulations my friend.

>>23256832325683  Thank you.  And thanks for the fav!  The next chapter should by out by the upcoming weekend, if not, then definitely the next.  

I was directed here a few days ago from your comment on one of pencil eraser's songs so your taste in music got you another reader

I'm 7 chapters in and love it,  there are still a few tense/ word use issues that got missed but that's pretty common with fanfiction that you get for free.  I haven't read a lot of Fo:E side stuff yet but this seems to be a pretty good addition dealing with the area surrounding central Equestria. Looking forward to more silly blue zebacorn/foxpony/stable pony/whatever else is coming action.

>>23365462336546 Holy balls.  That's awesome.   And thanks!

Good chapter and what a cliffhanger! Though I was slightly confused at the start of the chapter since Xero was drowning and then with a flashback cut later,they were all hunky dory the transition felt a tad..well,one word won't be enough to say it,it felt like I was cheated of what exactly happened but I guess you had a reason for this. Regardless,the introduction of Bandittown/Raidersburg was pretty cool and I like the little nod to Project Horizon with the line  “What’s your pathetic sob story that’s going to get me to let you walk out of here?” as well as the pony-mind in a tank. Looking forward to the next chapter,no matter how long it takes. After all,real life takes priority

NZRA stands for New Zealand Royal Airforce. Just sayin'.

>>23624872362487  Huh... I did not know that.  TheMoreYouKnow.jpeg.

>>23624142362414  I kind of thought so, too.  But instead of taking another week to fix it, I just left it as it stands.  In case you were wondering, in the previous chapter, the captain of the tug boat said that shit was going down around Bandittown/Raidersburg, so she had to stop before that point.  Literally, she just dropped the crew off and they decided to sit tight while Xero was off in la-la land.

>>23631982363198

Actually, I think he's referring to the lack of section 2… or did you decide to drop that? that's the part where Xero wakes up...

>>23717262371726, >>23624142362414   Fuckityfuck.  I see what you mean now.  That entire part didn't get copied over.  I SHALL FIX THIS!

>>23717262371726, >>23624142362414  Alright.  It's fixed now.   It was somewhat important, too.  Took me a while to find it.  It somehow got removed from even the .gdoc.  I had to find it by shuffling though seven pages of PM's.  I'm so glad I horde my messages...

Oh,so he was saved by a seapony...odd,I expected to be a tad more surprised,guess Project Horizons deflated that with the zodiac's pair of seaponies though I'd be lying if I said I wasn't intrigued by Treble as a character,I guess she's the Outland's version of Ditzy Doo ?

>>23719482371948  I guess you could say that.  I never thought of it that way, but yeah.  Oh, and later in the story, she {spoilers} .

>>23719672371967 *Drools* That's a tease if there ever was one!...But I trust that you'll deliver another chapter that will satisfy me and my fellow readers....eventually

WTF with fimfiction? Why I  have no notification about new chapter.

Read read read...

Bandittown/Raidersburg basic map, just for the general layout.  The scaling is a bit off from the train car size to the rest of the area.  They should be about half size.

Celestia's tail hole.. What a cliffhanger.. This chapter are awesome as fuck.  

Chapter ago Tes have been for me undeveloped "another one pure-lesbian mare in wasteland " (and you know I am not fan of it. At all. Except lesbian writers, like kkat or chiami), who only walked after protagonist and acted and spoke only when it's needed. (Not to mentions her and Fox relationship that looks just..like it not exist in story. "-hey, by the way, that two sleep together..-oh, okay" And how the fuck it's possible what first and second pony that he met are lesbians? In wasteland? Looks forced. Fox is ex-slave, so maybe she is bisexual who likes someone, who likes her, and whom she can trust? Would be more realistic for me. Anyway before this chapter it's seemed like Tes and Fox even no speaking with each other. You simply not writed it)

And now... Fuck... It is. How writers. Must. Develop. Their characters. Using chapters like this.

Now Tes is just awesome character, what I really like.

Keep it up.

>>23908892390889  I have to agree with you on this one.  And yes, Tes and Foxtrot's relationship is kinda forced.  The next chapter has a bit more character development (all around).  So... yeah.  This was pretty much Tes' chapter.

Thanks for that little bit a few chapters back about Tes and Foxtrot needing more character development, it really help.
