It only took twenty nine chapters for them to finally come face-to-face.

Thank you very much good sir.
Hehehe, I love how you've done the thought process here!
It's so logical, and yet, its not right in their mind for things.
This was a fun and darn enjoyable chapter.\
Certainly going to be interesting what folks are going to see and do, especially when the idea of a lie is so off to them as well.
There was a lot to enjoy and comment on here, but the truely momentous occasion? "You mean like the balefire bombs I just sat on?"
Sickle made me like her for a moment!
does that mean what i think it mean's?.
Funny thing about that my trainer incl-
Yeah, that.

About time. Seems that she takes much more after mother dearest than Lacc did.
One of my favorite chapters till now. And the new character will surely bring many fresh situations into the story. The waiting has been really worthwhile.
I also have the feeling that this is Twilight Sparkle. Which did not have social interactions for a very long time.
New companion has joined the group.
shits gonna hit the fan when rust sees an alicorn flying to their gates not to mention the chance that the potential bounties on the heads hasn't reached there yet form the mareford assault or the mayor assassination wasn't blamed on them.
This Alicorn is certainly of Twilight's personality but with an arrogant streak. I'd guess she's originally from the staff in Maresposa and an early member of the unity thus her brain is made up with a heavier influence from Trixie and Twilight. More specifically I think she was one of the head scientists who created the original Alicorn serum for the "betterment of ponies" thus explaining her strange obsession with bettering society as a whole.
Maxing speech and charisma is such a cheat in fallout
New party menber get!
Whisper: what happens when you max Cha and Speech. And roll a twenty.

Actually, I think this could be Starlight Glimmer. I could see her ending up working for the MAS in the FO:E continuity.
Wow, that was an absolutely excellent chapter. Amazing work as always, Phoenix.
that was a lot of dialogue.
I was reading Echo out loud, that was fun. I was using an analytical tone, flat, calm. Well, aside from outbursts.
Damn I love this fic, its the thing that got me a fimfiction account, just so I could get updates when a new chapter is out.
KEEP UP THE FUCKIN GOOD WORK!
I would easily rate this up with the original fallout equestria!
And now I am out of words to describe how amazing it is...

I hope not, but I really wouldn't be surprised.
Atleast an alicorn has kinda sorta joined the party.
Outstanding job, Whisper! Sweet talking an alicorn? Actually making convincing, logical sense in addition to perfectly constructed arguments? I've said this before and I'll say it again: Whisper is the best at manipulating others I have ever seen. You go girl! And, by proxy, you, the author, are a fantastic writer.
Oh, and I'm calling this right now: Sickle is going to, somehow, someway, get the alicorn in bed with her. It just seems too ridiculous not to happen.
Echo has joined the party!
Edit: I fucking called it!
Re-edit: Nevermind, I apparently did not, I forgot that I never posted it because I thought it would sound dumb... I'm happy it happened though!
The magic of logic

Na, it's THE Twilight. Or her essence remnants.
Been awhile so I may misremember a lot but I do remember "the Goddess" was a pony gestalt of Trixie, Twilight, and others. And Twilight did explicitly ride a...clone? Out of the destruction to help Lillie or whatever her name was.
Least that's my theory,that it's the same alicorn, just with most of Twilight's memories gone.
I knew she was spying on the crew but this goes far beyond what I thought. I thought she was unfocused and confused but apparently she was still following the teachings of the Goddess. I expected something far more basic.
Echo is like Twilight2 but Savage like a bushman. Some people speculate she might be Twilight but her body [alongside Trixie and the psychic twins] made up the body of the Goddess which was destroyed. I would lean more towards the theory of it really beeing F:Eq-continuity Starlight who joined Twilight's scientyfic team for communistic reasons. Would be funny if she remembered her pre-war name. XD
Should be 'consider'.
Should be 'your mother'.
Good shit as always, PD.
Echo has the scientific mind and curiosity of Twilight and countless other ponies.

It's most likely starlight, it just fits too well. The remark of having worked with a changeling before is a reference to starlight's time with thorax, and there is also the comment of her having looked into time travel spells. That's also a direct reference to starlight and what she did during the season 6 finally. Sure, twilight also cast a time spell once, but there is no indication that she kept studying them afterwards. Meanwhile starlight must have studied them for quite some time, to be able to change starswirl's spell lile she did. And of course, there's also the overeliance on spells to force others to do her bidding thing, which was basically the whole plot of one episode focused around starlight -and most of the others, too.
Sorry, but there's nearly no possibility that it's someone else than starlight.

I...suppose. It really depends on what PD wants her to be.
I just remember Kkat being sorely disappointed about writing the original before Canterlot Wedding, or maybe it was Crystal Empire aired, since she really liked Cadance. So later characters are out, it's just going to take a bit more to infer that it is her.
Heck, I'm not sure if Cadance and the Crystal Empire was even a thing in this fic. I know Crystal Life ran the Stables that Whisper survived in, and it may have been located near the Empire, but if they were really referenced they were so glossed over I don't remember.
Edit:Also, haven't seen the Season 6 finale. Quit watching after the first 4 episodes of the season, were TERRIBLE, and a PINKIE PIE episode was the BEST of them...

Actually, I imagine she never met Thorax in this continuity, since no Map means the Mane 6 never went to her Village. I could imagine that without the Mane 6's intervention, the village just goes on for a while until she gets arrested for, uh, brainwashing sometime around the time when the war started and her immense magical talent getting her a non-voluntary employment at the MAS instead of a prison sentence.
At long last, I am caught up! This story has been circling my half-finished-read-later-eventually list for ages.
This story is probably your best work. I have a soft spot for Without a Hive, but this is easily one of the top FO:E fics and that's a category with some pretty fierce competition. I'm tentatively placing it right below MN7 in my personal ranking.
This is awesome. Well done. I can't wait for more!
Two opponents talking with each other, instead of monologuing at each other like in so many other fics? I love this story so much
Recipe for Unity:
Take a bunch of ponies
Stick into Unity blender
Hit purey
Inject into appropriate color mold
Enjoy!
To bad someone pulled the plug on the unity blender
I can imagine the little ding of successfully doing a conversation check every time whisper convinced echo about something!
A very interesting, natural chapter of back and forth dialogue.
This is why the party packs a diplomancer. ALICORN GET.

I can agree.
they didn't just say "hey wanna join us and be a protagonist?" But instead sorted through multiple scenes of diologue to reach a natural-ish conclusion that seemingly fits all their needs.
Gotta say, though, I wasn't expecting her to be so...lost.
to me, it seems she is less like a child and more like an infant with fuck tons of power.
She understands logic, she is intelligent in a scholarly way, but I think that she is practically a placebo when it comes to moreals, ethics and social dynamics. It's like giving lv.50 equipment to a lv.1, then saying everything is normal here as you max out her enchantments and magic trees without giving her any real xp.
It's like...like an xp pack. Instant lv.50
fuck tons of ponies would flock to that, mostly low levels.
but after they reach lv.50, they don't have any in battle experiance to know how to sue it, and so a lv.20 could beat them using ordinary tactics and limited experiance.they would just have to avoid getting hit because alicorns are fucking lightning tanks.
Somehow, that response doesn't surprise me, at all.
Dammit. They're stuck with the creepy-alicorn equivalent of my own Teegee, aren't they?
I am so loving this interaction! I waited for this so long!
Hah!
I'm suddenly hoping this is Maud Pie... somehow
Ohhhhh. She's desperately trying to get back to that. Anything resembling the mind connection she lost.
And no, Sickle, she doesn't mean she'll let you beat her into a pulp
Ah, yup. More or less what I thought.
Well, I imagine if a nuclear apocalypse happens now, it's about how the average constantly-online person would react to the loss of the use of their internet-enabled smartphone
Gods, they'd go cataconic
Wait, if she knows that, why is she treating Whisper as a unique specimen? She should know about Serenity too then! She can grab herself a few changelings there any time she wants!
Oh boy. Sickle is bringing out the psychological warfare. Duck and cover!
Yeah. It's been done. Train car to the fa- uhh, to the everything, actually
It's a really good detail to realize, though
Hah, psychologist versus dataless computer.
That poor alicorn is so out of her league here
Well, yes. That's why it works.
Nope. Allie doens't get any word in without getting shot down
Aaand checkmate. Whew.
Well, except maybe magic, after all those megaspells...
Goddammit, she is crazy-alicorn-Teegee, lol.
Except he's kind of her opposite when it comes to motivation, hah.
Okay. Now make her wipe out Serenity!
...what?
Indeed
Well, all right. It beats "purple alicorn".
Aaaahahaha! These two are going to get on like a house on fire.
Lots of screaming, agony, destruction and death involved
That was a bit of squick I saw coming a mile away
Told you she was aspiring to be a healer!
But the problem here isn't hardware or software. It's volatile memory. RAM. The actual firing neurons. Those are gone when a PC or person is 'shut off', and unlike computers, living beings have no operating system that's designed to be booted up from cold state to build up a new working state.
Odd. She didn't react that way the previous time the Elements were mentioned...
Yeah, I was thinking that from the start
Um. Not good.
o.o
O.O
WHAT?!
I thought the escalation of Power went from Normal Fire, to Lancer Takedown, to Bug Bombs, and ended with 'Send in Sickle'. Echo could probably make Sickle look like a newborn foal in raw damage.
An alicorn companion huh? This just got more AWESOME!
Smoke over the horizon? Have the changelings started their invasion!?
Whisper is surprisingly gods with her way of words. However, I am not sure if I prefer reading this as Whisper being confident in their words, or in a more hesitant “thinking as they speak” honest sort of way.
The first would feel like she has thought about this for herself and decided to follow that idea, while the second feels like she had been following strong feelings and was just now putting them to words.
This was a great chapter.
Echo! Echo! Echo. Echo...
Sorry. Couldn't help myself.
Holy fuck! HAH!
HAH! (I'm going to over-HAH! if this keeps up) Princess of Pain, anyone?
I get the impression that Whisper could easily use the group's interactions with Sickle as examples or explanations as to their reactions to Echo's actions, and why Echo might want to change her approach. At least Echo is motivated to adapt her approach. Sickle...
Starlight glimmer?
10198426
Heh, wasn't the unicorn I was thinking of, but I suppose that could fit, too.
Only comment on this chapther, I do not wanna be near Echo when she learn that I.M.P only works on ponies fresh from the stables.
10568059
Hmm? I don't think the original story had anything like that. In fact, it sure looked like they were just taking random unicorns from the Wasteland to turn into alicorns.
I too lack object permanence
ALL OF THESE PONIES ARE CRAZY!!!!!
Also I love how Starlight keeps calling Whisper a sneak bug, very cute ^^ I'm hoping she'll adopt the petname love bug at some point
So the party has a morally ambiguous, potentially genocidal Alicorn huh? Neat. I doubt they will be like Lacunae who... Wait a second... Wasn't Lacunae eventually also named Echo??? ANYWAYS that aside... Definitely look forward to seeing how this turns out. Totally won't explode in their faces whatsoever. Nope.
Is it wrong to feel like it will???
Edit: Also I forgot to add this prior but... Thick plumes of smoke on the horizon??? How come I have a feeling Rust is on fire?
How is Sicle’s SPECIAL is all above 7, with the exception of negative charisma, and maybe luck?
Love the story, one of the best of the best.
Whisper, upon seeing the smoldering remains of Rust and/or Gemstone at the hooves of (I assume) the changelings: "Echo?"
Echo: "Yes?"
Whisper: "Everything I just told you? Forget it. Let's go do a genocide..."
In all seriousness, it's going to be so heartbreaking to see the characters getting dealt this upcoming emotional blow after their long string of successes. They just recruited a super-powerful alicorn! They have the raw power to start effecting real change; to fix the Wasteland!
Unfortunately, as Echo has informed them, she'd still not powerful/knowledgeable enough to fix 'dead'... :(
