(Grrrar) Nothing here or is pony piptaur device not working? This can’t be! Pipbucks have an odd knack for knowing locations.  Aglow gave us enough info for the spell to do the rest.  It should be here. (Dr. Stable Rate) **raspy** Maybe it sank?  Aglow didn’t give us a time frame.  If Screwy was here, it could have been anytime in the last 210 years. This is another dead end.  And we should really go.  I heard rumors ponies tend to go missing on this beach. **twig snap**cautious sniff**growl** (Grrrar) Pony **sniff** Ponies are nearby, but Grrrar can’t see them. **electric sound**stealth system disengaging** (Unknown Pony) **a distance away** Oh fuck! **several other stealth systems disengaging**matrix disruption grenades going off**waves cease** \\**//STATIC\\**// \\**//FEEDBACK\\**// ERROR**CORRUPT PORTION**ERROR \\**//STATIC\\**// \\**//FEEDBACK\\**// (Unknown mare) IIiiiiIIIiIiI’ll ask again, who sent you? The NCR? **bone crunch** GAAAAH! I think this is some kind of misunderstanding. **sob** I wasn't sent by anypony. We didn't even know the ship was inhabited. I’m just here looking for my sister. (Unknown mare) That is just as believable as the last 10 times you have told me it. Its the truth. I swear! (Unknown mare) Well if you won't talk, we'll just get your orders off your pipbuck. I finally restarted the spell matrix and copied the files. **sniffle** All you’ll find is the logs of my journey.  The DJ is playing them on air.  Do you not listen to the radio? (Unknown mare) Not recently, now be quiet! **smack** **pipbuck noise** (Audio Log #001 Brittleshine) By now you have likely heard my sister’s tragic story. Mr. DJ Pon-3 elected to call it Unscrewed Audio Files. I wasn’t about to make him change it since he was doing me a fav– **fast forwarding sound** (Unknown mare) Heh, guess you don’t know then. What? (Unknown mare) Nothing! I said quiet! **smack** (Audio Log #001 Brittleshine) –table 1 went on to form Stable City where we lived safely for 200 years. Then everything changed when the Enclave at– **fast forwarding sound** (Audio Log #001 Brittleshine) –ame a ghoul, I had accepted that the rest of my family was long dead. I no longer had any more attachments to my old life as Shoeshine. I could completely be Brittleshine. **door slam** (Unknown mare 2) Corporal Splints, play that last part again! (Corporal Splints) Ma'am, with all due respect– (Unknown mare 2) Now, Corporal! **rewinding sound** (Audio Log #001 Brittleshine) –dead. I no longer had any more attachments to my old life as Shoeshine. I could completely be Brittleshine. **pipbuck noise** (Unknown mare 2) Shoeshine? Is...is that really you? You know me? (Unknown mare 2) Yeah, a long time ago.  When I was a normal pegasus. **Magic sound**restraints being unhitched sound** (Corporal Splints) Ma'am you can't just– (Unknown mare 2) You just don’t remember.  Protocol for anypony who wasn’t a permanent member of the Moonskulls.  Your memories were extracted.  I wish I could put them back, but our memory orbs were lost many years ago.  I’m Firestorm, though I doubt any memory of me or Frostmane are left. Wait, you were the mare with the cybereye I met in Zebratown? I got so drunk I blacked out and ended up in a coma.  I woke up 3 months later in an MoP hospital.  Haven't touched any liquor since. (Firestorm) Corporal, give us the room. (Corporal Splints) But, ma'am, she was trespassing. (Firestorm) That is an order! **receding hoofsteps**door slam** (Firestorm) So a coma is what they told you happened? Yeah. I started drinking when Screwy, my sister, got committed. It was bad, so the story seamed plausible. (Firestorm) Well, you did try to match Frostmane drink for drink, and you did black out.  Though it was from the drugs we put in your drink.  Sorry for that.  Luna brought you on because you were one of the best and brightest in the MoI and she needed you to help us stay below the radar of the ministries.  We did get rather close in those 3 months.  I might say too close, one night. Wait, you and I? (Firestorm) It was back before Frosty realized she had feelings for me.  She had to stay late looking at new recruit files.  So you and I went drinking.  One thing lead to another.  I’m not sure if that is what made you leave, but a day later you were gone, memories extracted and the cover story was made. Well now, the Sundae thing makes more sense? (Firestorm) Huh? I guess you could call her my marefriend.  She is the acting mayor of Recurrence. \\**//SILENCE\\**// Wow, that is the first time I admitted that outloud.  I have a marefreind. (Firestorm) It is a good feeling to have, trust me on that.  Meet us upstairs, you and your friends should get their gear back.  Frosty will want to talk with you before you leave. \\**//SILENCE\\**// (Firestorm) sorry, for all this. Never thought this would be how we crossed paths again. \\**//BOOP\\**//
