I'm a guy who gets bored at work and writes about ponies. Sometimes it's clop, sometimes it's action and adventure. Hopefully I'm not terrible at it. Rarity is best pone.

Pretty interesting start. Action, cool. A new kind of writing to see from you.

Fav'd, liked. I can't tell where the story is going to go from here, but that's a good thing.

I like this idea. Might give it a read later, but for now, have a thumb.

Holy hell. This is tense, gripping stuff, dude. Great action, the stealth was awesome. Great job, hell of a start!

Don't worry about it," I told here. "We've been through worse."

Her, yeah?

congrats on the Feature, mate. lookin' good so far.

Awesome story again!:rainbowdetermined2:

Finally something that sorta touches on the "religious" side of the MLP universe always had a thing for poking fun at "religious" things (not trying to sound like an ass here) but the fun part is making up one (scientology (FYI Ron was a sci fi writer) Iron E!) and I always wanted to see if griffons had a god or do they just pray to the sun butt like ponies? if those that did would they be shunned or told forced to think otherwise, zebra some thing or do they have a voodoo way of thinkin of things (ask me I got ideas for fuckin days!)

ask me:fluttershbad:

I've got a feeling Card's based on the pony from Run, Shoot, Kill... and Cry by Tomb, isn't he?

I've actually never heard of either of those :twilightblush:

The pony's got a Card cutie mark :p

So, Twilight's gift? I'm guessing a Prosthetic.

This is a hell of a story, brother!

The more of this I read, the more I like Glendra & her crew! Excellent work, & I look forwards to the trouble they will inevitably walk into :pinkiehappy:

Hoooly shit. This chapter was awesome! That's litterally all I can say about it. :twilightsheepish: Great job bud, like always! :rainbowkiss:

I'm really liking this. Their attitudes make me feel as if I'm actually part of the crew and they all feel so alive and not 1 dementional. Splendid work.

this is really well written, it's quite rare to see comedy and dark blend together so well. I especially loves the way you describe a band of psychopaths making them both heartwarming and funny, not just as a batch of trigger happy.

Thank you! I've really enjoyed writing this story so far, and I'm glad to see others are enjoying it as well. :rainbowkiss:

THAT WAS MY SHOOTING CLAW!!

Twilight Sparkle <hoof to face>"Why did I publish that spell?"

I have to say, really, really excellent works so far. The action is intense, the discriptions in detail, and the crew well fleshed out. Although, I do feel a few errors. #1 is the small size of the company. To be a merc, unless it's strictly covert ops, you generally need to have a medium sized crew of people, usually 10+. #2 is how such a small group got their hands on the advanced ship tech so quickly.

Other than those, it seems like a great big story. Of murder and joy and death. I wish you luck in your further writings.

Not bad, not bad at all. Hope you pick this up again someday.

Thanks, I'd like to as soon as I finish my current Celestia story. I've got a soft spot for Red Sky and I'd hate to see it go unfinished.

Finally. You're next, Red Sky: The True of Equestria's Finest Mercenaries.

Why'd I spell out the whole thing? I'll go with trying to make it seem more dramatic. Like when your parents say your full name.

Answer me this: If you were used to traveling around the world, which do you think would draw more attention: A spotless war ship, or a rusty bucket of bolts? If you guessed "spotless war ship", then congratulations, you understand that deception is a huge advantage.

I would like to point out one thing. Are you sure you didn't mean 'rusty bucket of bolts' to be the guess that we should've made? Or am I just missing something? Unless you meant to say spotless in the sense that it's literally spotless. Somehow.

No, it's correct as-is. Think of it this way: if two ships pulled into a harbor, one of them a tramp freighter, and the other a battleship, which one do you think would get noticed more?

I reread what I posted and now I feel like an idiot. :facehoof: Granted; I think I posted the comment while it was 3 in the morning in my timezone so I was tired, and I guess the wording threw me off and my mind got stuck somewhere else.

So after finishing reading this about... one or two days ago, I think, all I have to say is, why isn't this story more popular? Oh, and I should finally get to the review part. Even though I didn't say I would review it, but whatever, this is a last minute thing.

There are a few typos here and there, and right in the sixth chapter (as soon as you pick this back up after you finish JBtD) you can fix the first typo that is there right in the first paragraph of that chapter. That's really the only thing that stood out in my mind because it was memorable. I could go through it again and just highlight the typos throughout the whole story if that was something you wanted me to do.

I read this to enjoy the story itself, and I am pleased to announce that I did so. I like what you did with the cutie marks and that for some ponies like Scarlet, it doesn't mean shit for them. Or maybe her actual talent is for creating sound waves or something to mess with people's heads. I mean, if you had the equivalent of a megaphone going off in your ear, that'd give just about anyone a headache. But I guess cutie mark headcanon is a discussion for another day.

All in all, I did enjoy the story but I wasn't looking to really find any flaws with it like I usually would with a review in some parts. As I said, I read this story to enjoy it, not find any flaws, even if I did spot some. Now, like I said in the beginning, I don't know why this story isn't as popular as it should be. Maybe it's luck, who knows. But I think I'm going to go with one of your previous comment on one of your stories, I forget which one exactly, and say that people are just drawn to your big romances.

Good work though, keep it up.
