Looks like the lone adventurer has found a companion. I'm also starting to get a bit anxious about the rendezvous with any survivors. *cough* Fluttershy *cough* Still a great story anyways.
246027 yes ik lol and Echo is a reference to another story can you guess? and fluttershy is one hundred percent going to show up in the next chapter ... ... i think
>>sergeantmoonbeam I'm not too sure about the Echo reference, mostly because I read only a couple of fanfics (many that are on haitus). You've also gone and gotten me all exciteded, now if you don't mind me I'm going to go and freeze myself to avoid waiting for the next update.
246058 It's from The Ballad of Echo The Diamond Dog. Not sure if it's coincidence, I highly doubt that it's coincidence. But whatever fits the bill. I don't care if he jacked the name or not.
246058 if you want i can point you in the direction of the fic he is from, oh and i have the authors permission btw
246222 well, he can comunicate, but doesn't really have a choice in the matter of surviving. but a literate wolf sounds awsome
246453 YOU DID IT!!! YOU GUESSED THE FIC HERE HAVE ALL MY INTERNETS i, in fact, did not jack the character i contacted Rust and asked if i could do a little shout out/ reference to some of my fav authors and he is one so no pony is stealing anything here
also, cutting wood with an axe is NOT, i repeat, NOT that easy, take it from someone who has tried to cut a tree down like that. it takes a few hours MINIMUM for a SMALL tree, like One foot diameter.
429961 Thank you so very much for both comments. Also, Dano should have still be too weak for most of what he did in this chapter considering how he was described in the first chapter.
Wait since all the ponies are people does that make diamond dogs wolves? And if so would echo be echo the diamond dog from ballad of echo the diamond dog?
The scope was attached to a base that had a small button on it. When Dano pressed the button the scope snapped to the side, allowing the soldier to used iron sights.
What. ACOG scopes have small backup sights on top of them, and sometimes angled backup sights are used on the side, but the sight actually moving is not something that seems practical.
clips
A person who is as into guns as Dano (or the author) seems would know that they are most definitely NOT clips! They are magazines! Clips are the types of things that have rounds directly attatched to them, "clipped" to them, and are normally removed after the rounds are insterted. An example of a 'clip' weapon is the M1 Garand, whilst a 'magazine' weapon is the modern M16, M4 etc.
Also that whole chunk about him shooting for the first time. Just no. Noone is that accurate the first time, and feeling disheartened even though you managed to get a decent cluster at 200 yards on the target WITH IRONS is very impressive. My experience shooting at 300m with a 3.4x SUSAT on the SA80 is that its pretty hard, even with practice
The months of June and August went by in a routine.

A wolf that can communicate and wants to survive with him?
DO WANT.
246058

246043 lol, echo is best wolf period
246050 next chapter friend
246058 if you want i can point you in the direction of the fic he is from, oh and i have the authors permission btw
246222 well, he can comunicate, but doesn't really have a choice in the matter of surviving. but a literate wolf sounds awsome
246453 YOU DID IT!!!
YOU GUESSED THE FIC
HERE HAVE ALL MY INTERNETS
i, in fact, did not jack the character
i contacted Rust and asked if i could do a little shout out/ reference to some of my fav authors
and he is one
so no pony is stealing anything here
Echo?!? OH MAH GAWD!! .....wait, how did he get back and why is he still a dog?
also, id ask for a back story to echo, but i already know
246914 lol
yesh echo is back on earth
and the back story on how he got back will be coming up
so just hold you Diamond Dogs friend
246939 I would like to see that story, it sounds like it would be good.
This is all rather convenient, if it really is post-apocalyptic, WHY WOULD AN ENTIRE MILITARY COMPOUND BE UNTOUCHED.
also, cutting wood with an axe is NOT, i repeat, NOT that easy, take it from someone who has tried to cut a tree down like that. it takes a few hours MINIMUM for a SMALL tree, like One foot diameter.
lol i thought of echo from LOST
429961 Thank you so very much for both comments. Also, Dano should have still be too weak for most of what he did in this chapter considering how he was described in the first chapter.
.....so does Echo have the brain of the legions finest bitch? (you get a spikestash if you get this reference)
Wait since all the ponies are people does that make diamond dogs wolves? And if so would echo be echo the diamond dog from ballad of echo the diamond dog?
429892 the reason all the military supplies were untouched was because the princesses protected that general area for Daniel's/Dano's convenience

What about July?
