*reads comments from last chapter
"WHAT!!!!!!!!!!!" NONE OF YOU MADE ANY COMMENTS FOR THE STARCRAFT CHAPTER!!!!!!!!!!! (Except for like five of you, you know who you are, and to you guys, this message is not for you and you will instead receive my salute
*Fires Party Cannon through the fourth wall and hits you in the face with party stuffs, 1 cupcake, and 1 cinnamon roll courtesy of Razor*
Anyway, now back to the message) I AM SO DISAPPOINTED IN YOU COMMENTERS!!!!!"
"What!? Just because Razor for once decided to focus on the side story for ONE LITTLE chapter you decide to ignore it! Just because Razor decided that maybe, JUST MAYBE now he could have a little extra fun with the story and add a bit of levity to it! YOU ALL THINK YOU CAN JUST LEAVE HIM HANGING BY A VINE!!!!"
"THAT
IS
JUST
NOT
COOL!"
"YOU KNOW! Razor does a lot for you with this story, he really, REALLY, REALLY, I don't think you can understand JUST HOW REALLY does. But enough about him, lets focus on the real victims of this lost chapter. The side story characters.
"You know, it's come to my attention since I can read all of your comments, that not a lot of you care about the side story. WHY IS THAT!? Sure, Razor let them in for his own comic amusement, and to make the story more interesting, and because he needs them (Yes, he does in fact need them), and because he thought it would be fun, BUT WHY DO YOU ALL NOT LIKE THEM!!!!???"
"Sure Razor isn't giving them much to do right now, sure they can easily be skipped over right NOW, but that doesn't mean you have to just leave them hanging like that whenever Razor does decide to focus on them!"
"The people in the side story do A LOT for Razor, they REALLY do, and when he decides to be a nice person and show them a little love by giving them their own little special chapter just for fun, what do you guys give them?"
"NOTHING!!!! YOU GIVE THEM NOTHING!!!!!"
"Sniff..... sniff.... Why would you do that? Why would you do that to your fellow Fimfiction friends.... sniff.... I just don't get it. They all put a lot of work into their characters and their little bits to the story, just like Razor puts a lot of work into the main story, and you don't show them any love for that. They are gonna become integral to the main story really really soon, and Razor is just trying to get you all to warm up to them being there. So why would you-"
PINKIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
"Oop. Still in trouble. Gotta go. Bye. See ya."
*Zips away*
*Comes back*
"Oh, and I do appreciate you talking to me in the comments though, I'll- OH NO HE'S COMING!!!"
*Zip*
-PERSPECTIVE SHIFT: Twilight Sparkle-
You are Twilight Sparkle, and you are still standing there staring at the door trying to figure out what you should do right now. All the while, the not at all real and completely nonexistant Ghost of Sombra is floating next to you smiling (you want to say evilly.... yes, evilly) evilly at you.
What do you do?
-Side Story-
-The Dalek Flagship The Caesar-
*The most epic battle of Starcraft 2 that any human, Dalek, or Multiform (in Swimming Dalek's case) has ever see is taking place right now which we will unfortunately never get to see because SOME PEOPLE decided they didn't give a crap about the side story and didn't give any comments on it*
The Bridge
You people are insane... I'm going to my room! Call me when something interesting happens!
Swimming Dalek: ALL OF YOU ARE INSANE! I'm going to my room! Call me if and when something interesting finally happens."
Antares: Yes, Commander. I obey.
Control/Computer room (I really do need a layout of this ship)
*All of the other hackers, BRP, and now Registered Anonymous, who tried to hack into the game and join but was swiftly kicked by both of them, are all just standing there watching in complete and total awe as the game rages with neither side taking any significant advantages over the other.
Suddenly, one of the other computer screens switches to Grey Rebl's face as he contacts them.*
Grey Rebl: Hey guys, did I miss anything?
*snoring coming from my room
In my dreams:
Me: Glbhg... Disney... decent movies... not corporate takeover... childhood... *snoring*
Antares: ...
Nikola: Should I inform the Master that Grey Rebl is online?
Antares: That would be preferable. Master, awaken! The AIA has contacted us!
Me: Zbghskgndyjhx... WAGH! *falls off bed* Oh, fine! *turns into true form, and slithers into communications room* Yo, Grey rebl! Why've you been out for so long?
To Twilight Sparkle:
Send a letter to Pinkie Pie requesting a proton accelerator and other similar equipment for combatting entities of an ectoplasmic nature. If such equipment exists, Pinkie Pie will know where to find it, and maybe it will help you deal with Ghost Sombra. Alternatively, look up a spell for fighting ghosts. While doing one or the other, ask Celestia to come see you so you can talk to her about Nyarlothepe. After all, even if you were completely wrong about it, Celestia can point out where you went wrong in your research and maybe smooth things over with everyone back in Ponyville. And who knows, maybe you're right.
To Pinkie Pie:
I'm sorry if I upset you by not saying anything to the side story characters. To be perfectly honest...I said nothing because I have no idea what to say to them. I know how to relate to you and your friends, to the main cast of the main story, and to the world it takes place in. I can picture you all in my mind and visualize you as you behave in certain ways.
I can't do that with the side story characters. I can't picture them, or their locations. I can't picture their actions, or make sense of their personas. I can't relate to them, or their story, the way I can to the main cast. I just...can't follow the side story. It doesn't make any sense to me, and unlike Discord, I need things to make some semblance of sense to enjoy them.
I never meant to upset you, or Razor, or anyone else. But I can only participate in those parts of the story I can relate to. Forgive me?
Just say "No Sombra." and let him continue with whatever he was doing earlier. He is not important.
KILL THEM ALL!!!!
again
You try to ignore Sombra as he does the most annoying thing in the world to get your attention.
Ghost Sombra: Hey! Hey! Look! Listen! Hey! Hey!Hey! Hey! Listen! Hey! Hey!Hey! Hey! Listen! Hey! Hey!Hey! Hey! Look! Listen! Hey! Hey!Hey! Hey! Look! Listen! Hey! Hey!Hey! Hey! Look! Listen! Hey! Hey!Hey! Hey! Look! Listen! Hey! Hey!Hey! Hey! Look! Listen! Hey! Hey!Hey! Hey! Look! Listen! Hey! Hey!
Your Face Looks something like this before you finally shout as angrily as you can
Twilight: WHAT!!!!!
Ghost Sombra: It's a door.
Twilight: What about it?
Ghost Sombra: Wanna know how to open it?
Twilight: I know how to open a Celestia Damned Door! Graaaahhhhhhh
Ghost Sombra chuckles evily at his little trolling game
Pinkie that was a little harsh. I have read this story from the beginning and love it very much. Granted I don't comment on the story as I don't have any creative suggestions to give Razor for the story but I have great respect for him as an author. He does a lot for his audience/commenters, he does a lot for fellow authors on FIMFiction.net and I'm sure he does lots for other people at the same time away from the keyboard. But the reason I think it was harsh is that I think the majority of people (me included) dont have much or any knowledge about Starcraft. I mean I have seen the game and heard of it from friends but have never bought or played any of the Starcraft games. So I couldn't really think of any valid comments for the story and I think that may be the case for the other commenters (feel free to correct me if I'm wrong). I'm sorry that you feel hurt nobody contributed to that chapter but would you rather know that nobody contributed rather than going through comments that have no relevance to Starcraft and therefore be unusable and would also waste your time when you could be throwing parties and Razor doing what things he does?
So take a cupcake (can't do the emote cuz I'm on my phone lol) and lets forget this and look forward to the future of a great story because this is one GREAT MOTHERBUCKING STORY *thumbs up and a big grin*
Don't look at Sombra. What ever he tries to do, don't look at him. ignore him. He is trying to distract you. Oh and don't listen what that random voice is going to say next. You know what just ignore me, that voice and Pinkie If she answers to what that voice is going to say. So ignore all of this. Ignoring starts... NOW!
T: *Krhm* I, TenebrisSol, humbly apologise to RazortheAwesome and Pinkamina Diane Pie. I am sorry for not commenting in the last update. It wasn't because I didn't want to put anything but, because I couldn't think anything to put there. Now for Twilight Sparkle, if she decided to listen this instead of ignoring it like I sug- I mean you thought yourself. Under any sircumstances I am not an alien who is trying to mind control you and your friends to do what ever I want. And don't go ask from Pinkie if she knows anything about this because she doesn't. Really do not ask from Pinkie if there is mind controlling aliens. Now good day for you. TenebrisSol away.
Hum the Ghostbusters theme, you'll be able to punch ghosts if you do it!
I am sorry we disappoint you as i've never enjoyed doing such with anyone. But, for myself, i'll be frank and say i've failed to understand any of the side story i've read thus far (a sparse few chapters) and have never been interested in the show/game the characters are based off of. None of which is your fault, it's just the way it is.
Good side of me: :( *eats cupcake*
Bat-sh*t insane side of me: si0.twimg.com/profile_images/2149457352/whatever-dude-whatever.jpg *demolishes cinnamon roll*
O-K! You were just going to go out that door and confront Princess Celestia about the issue at hand. Ignore him for now, see if she acknowledges Ghost Sombra's presence. Maybe run into that Flash Sentry guy again. You remember him, right, with the inci- wait did that happen yet?
N: I believe it has.
Right, thanks. Anyways, stuff. Hey, did you consider dating that guy? Just a thought.
N: Sombra, or Ghost Sombra, whatever you call yourself, find the d-
No. No interfering with the plot like this. Shame on you.
N: *Grumbles* Fine.
Punch him in the face, 'cuz ya know, why not?
Thank you, Razor, for the attention you are giving to us side-story dwellers. But to be honest with you: The best gift given to me thus far from this side-story is the fun I have with You, GordonFreebrony, SwimmingDalek, Registered Anonymous (you champ), BRP, and maybe Daedaltheus if given the chance. Better than any big spotlight given to us.
__________________________________________
Here's the best idea: TRY TO OUTRUN SOMBRA! RUN DOWN THE HALLWAY AND SCREAM LIKE A MADMARE (Hopefully the sound-proof walls are strong enough to withstand the decimal level you are emitting.) SCREAM AT THE MAID; SCREAM AT THE PICTURE ON THE WALL; SCREAM AT BLUEBLOOD FOR ALL THE TIMES HE GAVE YOU STUPID IDEAS! Oh hey! Princess Cadence! A nice sight to see... Wait, why is she looking at you funny? Has she been foalnapped and been inpersonated by a changling again?
"YOU'LL NEVER BE AS COOL AS ME FOR YOUR BROTHER!"
...Okay, maybe not. That's normal.
(This has to be the most nonsensual suggestion I had ever made for this story)
___________________________________________________________________
2970183 (You forgot to add a suggestion for the mainstory. Besides, we don't have a lot of people to comment like the first-parter.)
Grey Rebl: I had business concerning things like: Computer problems, our latest MagiTech, and assigning agents to find a doctor and give him a letter. All has been taken care of, of course. Speaking of letters, I got the latest news on Risen's Political Announcement delivered to you right about... now. (A new pop-up about Risen appears) Although I hate reading newspapers, not sure why adults from my childhood plays scrambler in them, keeping them under my desk makes my office smell Marvelous! Except ones about Risen Flagg; I swear they are cursed. You should try it yourself. But seriously, did I miss anything?
2971578 *stares as RA chugs a whole canister of beer, and everyone else chants 'chug chug!'*... No, not really.
2971597
Grey Rebl: Okay... So, how's Nana? Has she been a little... off lately? Magic can be quite unpredictable if not careful, especially when intelligent. (worried) And, well, the lab ponies down here treat her as if she were our own filly. The thought she is up in space with potential variables is worrying, and that battle with the Evil Daleks isn't helping.
2971641 Well... *deadly Starcraft/Tetris battle* she's fine. A little aggro, but... yeah. Daleks are treating her nice enough. Then again, they treat everyone nicely.
Dalek: Your English Muffin, Master!
Me: Ooh, goodie! *snarfs down meal* Well, is everything fine on your end? Any potential threats? Besides the obvious of course. I mean, has Flag decided to take you on? Because frankly, I know he knows about you. I'm not surprised, frankly. Problem is, you'd think he'd have gotten rid of his enemy's only informant on the surface earlier...
2971814
Grey Rebl: Swimming, I have been on to Risen, trying to obtain evidence against him for years now. I went as far as to erase my name from my rookie days; Every trace, every address. Only pony who knows me is my former partner, Clustershine, who works in the Canterlot equivalent of the AIA. And even he doesn't know what I have been doing, all he knows I work in a facility and operate the AIA. I doubt Risen knows of me.
But I trust your gut.
After I was informed of the surveilence from your Daleks, I've ordered extra security and caution throughout not only headquarters, but our entire network that connects with other intelligence agencies. If you are right, then my efforts for all those years are going to be a big waste.
2971896 I mean, he doesn't know WHO you are, just WHAT you're doing... contacting aliens in a plot to overthrow an interdimensional abomination intending on conquering the planet.
2972105
Grey Rebl: Oh, that reminds me of something! How are we going overthrow him when he has the public on his side? We'll pretty much look like you guys are invading the earth.
Twilight: Your duty hasn't changed. Just because you're going crazy and seeing ponies that aren't there doesn't change one simple fact.
YOU HAVE EXPLAINING TO DO TO CELESTIA.
Find her, tell her EVERYTHING, including why you brought the human, AND that you're seeing the ghost of King Sombra, get it all out, in the open, and do not hide ANYTHING from her. She is your teacher and your mentor Twilight and after everything you've done, and everything she's done for you, she DESERVES your full revelation.
Turn around and wail on that dumb ghost! And by wail, I mean swat your hooves at Ghost Sombra futilely for a few moments before realising it's, in fact, futile
*Suddenly appears in the space the other side story authors occupy*
HEEEEEERRRRREEEEE'SSSS GORDON!!!

(I had a plan for what to do and lost it. Um... Would you mind taking over for one last chapter? I've got a shit ton to do tomorrow and I'm still beat from the woods battle [Ever tried running through a wooded area in hundred pound metal armor AND four layers of padding each one as thick as a towel while toting a sword and shield ANDlistening to the commanders AND fighting AND watching your footing AND maintaining a shield wall AND protecting spearmen? Fun as hell but it takes a lot out of you] so I'm just too tired to do much tonight)
Add more pancakes!
2972493
Sounds like something that I want to do.
2972132
Simply assassinating him and saying that the evil daleks did it might work. Other than that, we can frame him for numerous crimes, plant drugs and dead bodies of all of his minions that we kill in his mansion and murder all of his illegal compatriots.
2972105
Until Risen knows where he is, he isn't in that much trouble.
>>All other commenters in general (disregarding those who care about our crazy group of fun loving murderers)
Knowing about starctaft or not, you could have done something with the crew. Or even just replied to my comment saying that one does nothing for a while or letting me know that I needed to put in more. If you don't know about something, FAKE IT!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Humming GhostBusters theme tune will allow you to punch ghosts. However, making a giant rainbow coloured hand out of magic and punching him in the face with that will work better. There are many other options, but right now, he I looking at you in a weird way, so punch him. He is completely non-corporeal, therefore, he can follow you anywhere. Again, punch him. There are dozens of reasons to punch him. Calm down, realize that instead of being a symptom of your insanity, he must be an incarnation of it. Punch him, making you feel better. Now, talking to someone about all of the things you absolutely did not cause to happen. Punch Sombra in the face just as Celestia walks into the room. Maintain one conversation with Celestia and none with Sombra. Ignore him completely so that Celestia believes that you are maintaining your sanity. Finally, allow your craving for chocolate chip cookies to take a hold of you and request one. Eat it very noisily. Watch as Sombra disappears. Celestia comments on the chocolate chip cookie's powers to banish mental instability in unicorns.
Write a list!
-- Find out the form that the first horror will appear in
-- If it has infiltrated the govt. Tell Celestia RIGHT AWAY
-- That Risen Flag character is creepy, and only appeared after the big demon thing is going to arrive... Try and find out more about him, and no, not the propaganda. See if there are any magical anomalies around him, any other monsters etc.
-- Look in the Canterlot Archives for any information about Nyartholep (or whatever his name was) and his pantheon of followers. Discover the plush. Chain-teleport away, probably to Celestia, to Luna if she's closer.
Notice an awesome looking group of three black cloaked (and colored) unicorns, walking silently towards Luna's section of the castle, their look somewhat based on Organization XIII, and called the Shades... Whaaat? That's an awesome part of my fanon!... They aren't the only Shades. No, there are many more of these warrior-spies O.O
Tell King Sombra this Twilight: "If staring at me evilly is all you're going to do to me then I don't really have much to worry about."
2972105>>2972132>>2972493>>2973392
R.A.: *overhears the conversation about owerthrowing Risen and walks over* Hey how about if we go with my plan instead? I promise to you all it is a pretty full proof and INCREDIBLY AWESOME PLAN!
2973992 Well, it's better than nothing, I suppose... Wow, I'm listening to RA's plan... I need a drink.
2973149
Yes, but so long as the side story remains a SIDE story, than I shall still read on. If it becomes a more active part of the story I shall have to stop reading, mainly because I don't want to read the "side story"
And also, to Razor; The side story is just too far out there for me. If I wanted to read about a whole bunch of crossovers I'd go read a different story. I feel it has no real meaning to the story, and even if it will in the future... It is pure nonsense. I have no problem with you adding it, so long as it is just a small thing. But I want actual story progression. That is all I have to say.
2974218
R.A.: Ok here's my plan: I will take my golf club and smash Risen's head in like an overripe tomato in front of EVERY SINGLE PONY in Canterlot.
Hacker #1: That's a stupid idea! Won't that make you public enemy number one here if you tried that stunt!?
R.A.: *shrugs and says* Well I don't see having an entire planet hate me will effect me too much. I'm already hated by the FBI, Interpol, the Russian Mafia, the Italian Mafia, the Yakuza, and 129 different girl scout troops back home for a simplified list of people that hate me and don't get me started about how many people hate me from the Koprulu sector. You would think blowing up a couple of government buildings just for shits and giggles was a BAD thing.
*Everyone looks at R.A. with a look of concerned disbelief*
R.A.: ....What? I was bored.
2974930 Okay, but maybe a plan along the lines of 'expose Flag'. Although, I DO like the sound of that... Wow, I'm crazy...
2974930>>2971578>>2972493
Guys, I've got to go to a summer camp for the next eight days so... yeah you'll have to carry on without me. If you have any problems, report it to Aldebaran. He'll respond appropriately.
Aldebaran: I OBEY!
Me: AND DON'T WASTE ALL THE COFFEE CREAMER BEFORE I GET BACK!
2975387
R.A.: *pours every ounce of coffee creamer into a giant cup of coffee* SORRY CAN'T HEAR YOU OVER THE SOUND OF ME POURING THE REST OF THE COFFEE CREAMER INTO THIS GIANT CUP OF COFFEE. COULD YOU REPEAT THAT!?
2975387
It's a pity, we will miss you.
2975387
Your bro or not, that plan needs some work. Exposing him first. I still say that we plant drugs and dead bodies in his house before we kill him and make it look like a mob hit.
2974640 and>>2973149
The side story is under Razor's control. We don't just get to post what we please and have it put in. There are rules. One of the reasons that we get to do this is because we comment on the main story frequently. It is one of our rules that when we post on the side story for the first time in a chapter, we have to comment on the main story. We get to do our antics on the side because it is fun, but we do have to keep to our guidelines and when Razor tells us that we can't do something, we can't do it. The side story is still his story. He actually writes a fair amount of what ends up on the actual pages himself. If you don't understand all of the characters, fine. This is North America mostly. I don't expect everyone to know who the daleks are. Half-Life was a really good game, but the second chapter was released years upon years ago and was pc only. The first chapter was released years before that. RA didn't come from anything, but he wears a V mask from V for Vendetta. My character is an original character, that is closer to the Tenno from warframe than anything else. To be honest, I think that Grey Rebl has some kind of story, but his characters are all ponies and Nana the pony AI who was uploaded to the Dalek fleet. The eventual point is probably going to end up being that we fight alongside Jason and the other ponies against Risen Flagg and the Plush. It will be tied in eventually, but it's not like you will have to go back and read all of what we have been doing from the start because it doesn't matter too much. If we do something important to the main story plot, someone will tell you. Until then, keep hating us all that you like. We are enjoying ourselves. Razor appears to be enjoying himself. If you want to complain, complain to me because I actually care about your problems.
I just ignore all the side stories completely.
Fine, I'll write a thingy for the AI's in their little combat thing...... after a few words to twilight.
1. punch ghost Sombra in the face once again. everyone likes to see that.
2. start to think about what you are going to say.
3. remind yourself that this is celestia, your teacher, and practically your mother. she will understand what you are going through.
4. next open the door and find your way to the princess.
5. talk to princess.
6. bump into raisin flag(sorry for misspelling it) as he is leaving the castle.
7. incoming mental freak out in 3. 2. 1.
8. scream to tarterus.
9. Faint.
-------------------this is for the battle between the AI's---------------------
*The sun peaks over the horizon and seeps its sunlight into the beautiful valley filled with various kinds of flowers. The different greens, yellows, whites, and reds blend into an interact masterpiece in the morning light. It is a moment of pure beauty and would put even the most wonderful of masterpieces to shame. Even the lonely sniper has to admit that it is just spectacular.*
Sniper 1: *sigh* isn't that just the darnedest thing ya ever saw?
Sniper 2: Ya, it is quiet the sight isn't it.
*sniper one takes a moment to wipe a tear from his eye as the second produces a hanker chief for the other.*
S1: Thank ya.
S2: no problem mate, just keep your eyes out for th-
*suddenly there is a cataclysmic explosion in the middle of the field. The two snipers immediately turn their guns in the direction of the blast to scout out the device that created such destruction. When they do so they spy a Large machine made out of gold with blue light emitting from the seems.*
S2: SHIT!! ITS A COLOSSUS!!
*S1 and S2 get up and start retreating toward there base, all the while S1 tries to contact command.*
S1: Command, come in command, this is Sniper 1, come in command!!
Command: This is command, how goes the search?
S1: We've got a Colossus command, I REPEAT, A COLOSSUS!!!
*Silence from command for about 3 seconds*
HackerAI: This is Hacker AI, Did I hear you correctly?
*Both S1 and S2 are stunned that their head commander is talking directly to them, but they would have to assume that much. I mean there is a FREAKING COLOSSUS after them.*
S2: Yes sir, we have no doubt that Nana is on the move, I repeat she is on the move. Also I'd like to mention that we have most likely been spotted sir.
HAI: Right, the two of you put your cloaks on and head away from base camp.
S1: Bu.. But si-
HAI: THAT IS AN ORDER, WE WILL NOT JEPERDISE THE BASE INCAMPMENT! DO YOU READ ME?!
*After a moment of silence*
S2: Rodger sir, we will head do west until further orders.
HAI: Good, don't be caught men, I will not be writing any letters back to your families as long as I remain in command. on your way.
S1 and S2: ay sir. FOR THE TERRAN ELITE!!
*coms go silent as the two ghost operatives go into stealth mode. HAI takes a seat on the chair in the midst of the command center. He looks over each of the screens displaying multiple hostile forces moving towards his various basses. He places both hands together and bring them up to his face to think.*
HAI: So, you've finally shown yourself, ah Nana? *looks toward a crew member* Tell all ground forces to fall back and take defensive positions beyond the mountain line, Have all available air forces give cover to the ground troops, confirm the positions of the enemy troops and have the siege tanks rain fire upon them.
Crew mate 1: Yes sir!
HAI: Also, give the order to the covert operatives to follow through with operation: Hell fire.
CM1: A-are you sure sir?
HAI: Yes.... I am sure.... Lets show Nana some of our fire, shall we?
all the crew members in the room: YES SIR!!
*they then proceed to belay the orders of their commander to the forces out in the field. All the while HAI grins mischievously and chuckles silently to him self.*
(sorry guys, had to use HAI for a moment in this little clip of the battle. If you want more, then tell me and I shall write more of it and post it in the comments. :D)
You still haven't gone to see Celestia yet? You had better have taken your time kicking the crap out of Ghost Sombra.
2974940>>2973392 2975884>>2972493
Grey Rebl: (Rubs a hoof against his head in frustration) Well, I had been trying to expose Risen for years already. It was a slow process and I got enough evidence that points to Risen and cause suspicion.
(Frowns) But the public loves him, so without concrete proof, exposing Risen won't be easy. The best we could do is convince the world that we are the good guys. Until we figure out a definite solution, I like to tell you something that concerns me. (Leans closer to the screen, eyeing every person in the room)
Do any of you heard of "Twibright Sparkoal"?
2979061
R.A.: Uh... any relation to a certain Twilight Sparkle? If not then I got nothing. *pulls out a bottle of bubbles and a bubble wand and begins blowing bubbles*
Hacker #1: *shakes his head at R.A.'s antics then turns towards G.R.* Well do tell why this name so concerning Grey? Is it something to be worried about?
2979127
Grey Rebl: Ah yes, Twilight Sparkle! That's the name! The name itself isn't concerning, actually. She's one of the most powerful mages in Equestria, a successful student of Princess Celestia herself, and she saved the world a few times; a hero among heros!
What is concerning me is that she is residing in Canterlot, recovering from her latest mental breakout. Of course, Risen Flagg is there, too. What I'm trying to say is that one of Equestria's greatest means of defense is at its weakest and is in potential danger.
2979144
Hacker #1: So are you about to suggest that we should protect Twilight Sparkle at all costs or something?
R.A.: *continues blowing bubbles*
2979234
Grey Rebl: That's a good guess, but what better way then to let Sparkle lead us to more evidence concerning Risen Flagg? Even at her weakest mental state, she is still dangerous and dificult to assasinate. Agents assigned there and the help of a friend there are simply going to observe her and inform the Royal Guard anonymously if things get messy.
...
(Looks at R.A blowing bubbles through his mask. Tries to ignore)
And the Royal Guard in question are lax these days. (sigh) Really, Equestria isn't exactly at its best time. But if it comes to helping Twilight, even a just a little bit, it could win us a favor.
2976551
Thank you.
2983404
for what?
2983665
Posting on the side story chapter even though it won't be happening despite what you wrote during earlier chapters.
2985295
Ya, well, I felt that at least some care should be put there. Even if it received just about as much care as the potato chip that fell on the floor.
2986065
Better than nothing.
Well sorry I didn't find this story two weeks ago.
