//------------------------------// // Chapter 5---- Meeting // Story: Supreme Human // by Connect-the-Pie //------------------------------// "Uhh Twi?" I heard from Applejack, "What do you call that thing?" Looking at the creature infront of me, it had no face, well, it did, but it showed no emotion. It didn't even moved when it talked! Its arms had holes in the middle. Looking at arm, I saw that the left one was doing something. Not wanting to find out what, I charged my horn to put a shield over us. What happened next, made it a mistake. In the build wheel, I looked through 'Extras' finding table, I selected it. Apparently, the builder lit up, and Twilight took that as an act of aggression and put a shield over her and her friends. I saw a shot. Looking at the point defenses, I saw them all pointing at them and all shooting at once. "HOLD FIRE!" I yelled. When the fire stopped, I saw that Twilight's shield had popped from all the gun fire at once. "Sorry about that." I said to the ponies, "They don't like it when something that looked like an act of aggression is aimed towards me." Looking at the interface, I saw that the unknown bar was back, though it was not as filled as before, then it disappeared. Still placing the table,when the table was being built, I saw that Twilight, the orange one and Skittles was looking for a fight, at the same time, Twilight looked very interested. "Come," I said, "sit." We all walked to the table, including the other two ACUs. When they sat down and me standing still, (I couldn't, I'm in an ACU) Twilight sprang back up, "Who are you!? And how were they," she pointed to the defenses, "able to pop my shield so quickly? How are you able to make something like a table out of nothing?!" I blinked. I didn't expect that from a pony that almost got killed. "What should I say?" I whispered. Be Friendly "My name is Commander 'TheContact', call me TheContact. What almost killed all six of you are the defenses for my temporary base. Right now, you are considered neutral, which means if you do something that counts as an act of aggression between either me, or the base, they will not hesitate to turn you into a crater." As if the defenses liked that, I heard the audible click of the land defenses. I chuckle at that. "Umm... if-if you d-d-don't mmmind me asking, wh-why do you need a b-base? I heard from the yellow one. Though hard to hear, the sensors from the Aeon ACU allowed me to catch it. "Well," I replied, "all Commanders require a Base of Operations, I did not have one here, until now." "Umm if you don't mind me asking," I heard from Twilight, "what is a Base of Operations for?" "QVW," I whispered, "give the command to not give fire unless ordered." Acknowledged Commander "Come," I said to the ponies walking into the base. They of course followed. "A Commander's base," I started, "has all the basic requirements for a Commander to begin their missions. Basic bases requires a factory of any kind, but a land factory is recommended, a base also requires power generators and and mass fabricators, an advance base requires a lot of mega Jules of power to function and a lot, but not as much, mass to keep things steady in building. All bases requires a defense, you already saw them, bases uses factories to produce units, you already saw a unit with that scout you saw back in the field, units are for..." "Hold on," Twilight interrupted, "I know that you decided for the Everfree, for anything in it is hidden from sight, but, you said, 'all commanders require bases for their missions.' You have a base, so what is your mission as of now?" "Right now..." I said, she nodded, I whispered, "What is our current mission QVW?" Our Current Mission Is To Scan The Area For Whenever We Get Back Home And To Survive. "My mission as of now is to scan the area," I answered Twilight. "What are you scanning for," She asked while her horn lit up and paper and quill appeared, I saw that the bar reappeared, "QVW," I whispered, "Is that bar supposed to be for like magic?" All Signs Point To That Conclusion. "Well Twilight, I am only just scanning the area as of now." She scribbled something down. "I need to ask you some more questions," she began, "is there a place we can go?" "Uhh yeah," I answered, "What about the others?" Looking at her friends ,Twilight said to me, "I need to talk to you and only you without interruptions." "Ok well, they can explore, but only if they Do Not Touch Anything! Got it?!" "YES SIR." they all said, except for the rainbow one, who just nodded. "Come on Twilight, I know the perfect place." Walking to the sleeping quarters, while the others went in another direction. Use Your View To Keep An Eye On Them. Inside the quarters, I took a right to the cafeteria and stood in front of a table while twilight sat down. With her taking her quill and paper out again, First question Who are you? My name is Commander TheContact, but call me Cody Why are you here? I don't really even know how I got here What about your skin? Skin? Oh this is not my skin, its just a suit called an ACU. What are these... ACUs? ACUs were made for a war between three factions, the Aeon Illuminate, the Cybran nation, and the United Earth Federation, or UEF for short. Tell me about this war and the three factions I produced a hologram and showed "Ok," she said putting her thing away,"that's all for now." She nods, "Thank you for these answers." *BLARE BLARE BRRING* "Oh course" I sighed. This is not because of the other five ponies or that zebra. 'Its not?!' "Come on Twilight! Let's see whats going on. We both ran out of the building and saw, a standoff between my defenses and these creatures. there was some made of wood. a cockatrice. And a freaking Hydra! They looked ready to bite. No chances are to be taken. "Open Fire!" I commanded. And my defense fired upon these creatures. The wooden one were easy to take down, but reformed after a while. The Cockatrice, I heard is able to turn creatures to stone, good thing that is not possible here. and the Hydra was actually able to destroy some of my defenses. Even managing that through the shield. After a minuet of focusing the Hydra and some shifting focus to the reformed wood creatures, they were taken down, with the wood retreating. The ponies were all slack-jawed at the ability of destroying that many so easily. "Ummm what the hay?!"
