So this chapter was a lot of fun...
One thing - Sickle may be respecting Whisper now, seeing as she's a bug-shapeshifter, and this is cool.
2 unread chapters now. I won't be sleeping tonight...
'Report status.
Say again, report status.
To anypony on this net, report in.'
god im such a nerd that i can recognize hex on sight
That was beyond epic. And now we get a cliffhanger to see how they react to her.
DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYUM
7161944 Hey, if being a nerd gets me a decrypt this fast... You can be whatever you want.
Welp, here kill count and vanity score definitely beats everyone.
Well, at-least that is one way to make a great first impression
Yep. That happened. Gratuitously.
I freaking love how you do your research for all the military and espionage scenes! In Fallout (and how much more in FoE) there's bound to be some Hollywood tactics and ridiculous heroics, but even then, it feels realistic (as much as FoE can), such as the epically subverted sniper scene!

knew something like that would happen.
This story's just so good. This has to be in my top three best Fo:E stories that aren't finished at the moment. And the best one with a changeling main character! :3
... then the cliffhanger. Thanks, Phoenix_Dragon!
Now to wait for their reactions to her being a changeling. It will either be: They don't care, They are terrified, or both. Probably the second one.
7161944
Well you're in good company, at least. We can all be nerds together!
7161940
Sleep is overrated. More ponies!

Fortunately, you won't have to wait too long. I'm hoping to put up an update every other week, and the next chapter is already mostly done!

One of the things I've been really enjoying when writing this is the different ways the characters talk. Dusty is a lot of fun for that, with his time in the Mareford Militia showing through his language and tactics.
It also catches me by surprise every now and then. Like with the scoped rifle; I hadn't even considered Whisper using it, because she wouldn't have considered using it. It wasn't until I was writing the scene, going over the equipment that the merc had brought up, that it really connected what I had just set before Whisper and consciously noted why she wouldn't use it. I hadn't planned it before then, but I loved what I had inadvertently set up.
To be honest, this whole event was one of the ones that gave me the most concern, and took the most amount of reconsidering and reworking to get to what I felt was "right". Whisper is pretty well established as the least combat-capable of the group. I didn't want her suddenly showing surprise proficiency with combat, or otherwise being a classic straight-up badass. I wanted her to win in a way that fit her, with her rather unique set of tricks. I hope I did a good job of that

I try not to cliffhanger too often, but there are really some moments that simply demand it.
And thank you! I'm glad you're enjoying my little collection of pony words!
Wow, that was a lot better than I expected. Since the end of last chapter I was looking forward to seeing Whisper in her element, so I was disappointed after the first scene ended so quickly. Little did I know you were preparing something significantly more spectacular.
Geez, and what a cliffhanger you left us on, too.
7162792
I've been waiting a long time to really show Whisper in her element. Well, this isn't quite in her element (A lot more shooting and explosions than she'd prefer!), but it was so satisfying to have a situation where she could really pull out all the stops for trickery and deception. Hopefully we'll be seeing some more of that, now
7162775 Oooooh, awesome!
You have no idea how much I hate you for that cliffhanger XD. I liked your stuff before but this is just the perfect storm of FoE, interesting premise and characters that are well executed, believable world building and a main character whose situation and worldview are remarkably similar to a character I play in an FoE rpg.
Holy shit, Whisper. This is why you don't screw with secret agents.
7162769
There's also the reaction of "... bwuh!?" to consider.
It'll be interesting to see how they respond.
Is that hex? I'll have to run out through a translator later
7162775
But I want it now!
All jokes aside, I saw your comment and just can't stop thinking about the next chapter possibilities.
7163461 Yeah your right! I forgot a couple others but, i'm tired and too lazy to edit it. :)
Yes! This is exactly the kind of stuff I've been waiting for!
It's amazing how many of my experiences in the wasteland and other games have a line similar to this in it when I retell them.
Oh, and a few other things I've been pondering about this story that are not chapter specific:
I kinda hated Whisper at first, but that was just my general hatred of liars. I liked her a lot more as time went on, especially how when you think about it, she only told one or two lies. Where she was from, and what she was.
Another thought I've had is that while reading the interactions between Whisper and the other characters, it seems like Whisper watched this video, while everyone else in the story watched this one.
Ohohoho! Whisper is best infiltrator! ....well, at least I think she is. Here is to hoping they take it well!
7162775 Okay, lets see what we've got then...
Whisper accounted for about 70% of the folks here though a mixture of tenacity, guile, and subterfuge. Very properly Sam Fisher Style.
What is interesting, is that while dusty lead them carefully to living through that, im curious if we are going to get a bit of memory from our one drainee.
7161894
Yes it was, indeedy...
More, soon, please?
I love these moments so much.
Time for Sickle to changethe nickname she uses for Whisper.
7162388 ah snipers... anyone can kill at close range. it takes skill and patients to hit with a sniper! and skill not to cut your leg off with a sword... but still. snipers are my way of life! i run a 9/10 headshot ratio in games. record shot: 1k meter headshot on a quad driver. i was called a hacker for days.. only reason i was not banned(400+ reports from that...) was the fact that the game devs had an eye on me to find areas that were a bit unfare, yet easy to fit into without any hacks.
whisper has had weapon training, addmitted to having knowledge that was not being told, and in a 'fight or die' moment. its amazing what one will do in these moments.... always expect the unexpected. never ignore a possiblility. and trust your gut at all times.
keep up the good work!
Wow, Metal Whisper solid! Awesome chapter and nice cliffhanger, just when the drama is going to hit the fan. Damn now i am eager to read the next!!
Please. Anyone. Send help. This cliffhanger... The suspense is KILLING me.

I'm too lazy to draw properChangeling eyes are hard to do with a mechanical pencil...7169303 awesome drawing : )
Surprise changeling is surprising.
This was... absolutely amazing. And I'm saying that as somebody who has been following your work since nearly the beginning, before I even had an account.
Finally read this chapter. And it has the cliffhanger the most important moment of a changeling fic.
Now, we can't be sure if the ponies still know what a changeling is. I just hope so because it would be so funny...
Holy shit what a chapter! The ending was just pure badass and I can't wait to see how the next chapter will begin. Shit's getting really interesting.
TL;DR: Littlepip saved your life!
(in a rather indirect way though, lol)
Well, someone had fun
Actually, he didn't. He said "this annoying little moral crusader". He never specified. Maybe it's not him at all
I honestly thought she was going to say "I'm a spy" at the end there
Guess that would've given rise to a bunch of uncomfortable questions. Though I imagine if she has to choose between her cover and her survival, it's rather obvious to sacrifice the cover. Heck, she's hardly the worst monster out there. Even Dusty would probably prefer a friendly changeling over Sickle in a heartbeat
Wouldn't be too sure of that
Well, except if she dies or gets captured, of course, then they do have that little effect of "missing a team mate"
No, actually, I'm with Sickle here. Takes quite a number to outnumber her
"-try?" Oh he is so lucky he didn't finish that line. She'd do it out of principle
Heh. Saw that coming.
(also, yay, more changeling shenanigans! )
Ahh, she is fricking cold
Hee. Bursting into flames. Always a nice shock tactic, especially towards someone holding you.
You got magic. Throw it back
Ah yes. The sheer shock value of encountering an insect pony creature that possibly disappeared from the ponies' collective memories ages ago.
And then there's that
Welp. This was rather unavoidable, in the long run, but once they'd seen the weird bug pony, there was really no use trying to hide it; they'd never have bought some mysterious bug pony helping them and then her just appearing out of nowhere practically unharmed.
"Toldya I had special skills."
Just ASCII bytes? You're slipping
Remarks and corrections:
> A single second of fire put out a tremendous volume of fire,
This... sounds kind of weird.

One of the things I really like about the running commentary is when a comment on an early part of the chapter becomes even more relevant in the later parts.
Heh, yep. She's not exactly the bluffing type.
Whisper is the Mysterious Stranger! Just... with a minigun.
Oh, just wait. I've got a few good ones planned for later.
Actually, I'm not sure if the next chapter will have one. For every chapter I've had a cryptogram, there's been some line or exchange that immediately leaped to mind, and that hasn't really hit for the next chapter. We'll see. I don't want to throw something lame in there just to keep it up. Although even if I do come up with something, it might end up with one of the simple cipher methods. Depends.
New Chapter. Now. Or I'll have your skin.
7195802 A might bit aggressive, don't you think? Tone of voice does not carry in text.
7196497 It's supposed to be so serious-like to the point of hilarious. Guess I'm a better actor than I thought...
7195802
Nevar! You'll just have to wait until tomorrow like everybody else!
7198021 Tomorrow? TOMMOROW!!!!
7198021
Tomorrow?! I can't wait until today! It's too long!
