	Well it took us long enough, i mean, i'm not complaining but by this time we'd usually be up to our elbows in various assholes trying to tear us limb from limb. It's nice though, at least the occasional animal attack keeps things from being too boring. Now it seem's we've been, for lack of a better word, 'hired' to help Equestria fight a two front war they'd probably have no chance of winning otherwise. We didn't want much for payment, though they seemed surprised at what we asked for. Food, shelter, a few metal breastplates, not very much. It's mostly food and board though. When they asked us why we didn't want payment in gold 'bits'. We just said that you can't eat gold.

Trust me, we've tried. Some deployments we'd get cut off from our allies and their supplies. We'd go hungry a lot. It never got too bad though, like, not 'Donner Party' bad.

Anyways, i'm sure that we'll be on the offensive eventually. I'm sure we'll be able to loot whatever's not nailed down then while we're in enemy territory. Though our first deployment will probably be sometime soon, maybe in the next week or so we'll be transported by train to the farthest settlement west. Appleoosa. Apparently they've reported what could be an imminent attack by the Changelings. With reports of black shapes zipping over the horizon near dawn and after dusk. Maybe scouts.

I'm sure it won't be too bad, from what i know Changelings act like a swarm. A hive mind maybe? Though we'll have to make preparations for mass wave attacks. Machineguns and mortars will be the name of the game. I'd better go help link up ammo belts for our MG's anyways. We're going to need all the ammo we can get.
