Convincing Arguments
"That certainly was a drastic turn of events." Twilight noted as she watched the passing trees.
"You'll get used to it around those guys." Tex smirked. "They always manage to dig themselves into a pit of shit."
"And I suppose you see yourself as the one that drags them out?" Rarity asked.
"Of course not. I'm the one who stands on the edge waving goodbye." Tex chuckled, then sighed in annoyance. "Just so happens that since I'm standing on the edge they pull me down with them."
"You really dislike them, don't you?" Fluttershy asked quietly.
Tex gave Fluttershy a petulant look, causing her to look away.
"I mean, I guess they aren't that bad on their own. Well Grif is. And so is Tucker. Caboose can be a little bit of a handful. Same with Church and Sarge." Tex said, pausing to think. "Actually, the only one who's alright on his own is Simmons. That guy has a head on his shoulders and knows how to follow orders. I can't bring myself to hate him for that. But when they're all together it's just terrible."
"That's fair." Applejack nodded reluctantly, causing the others to look at her. "Ah mean, just look at Grif n' Sarge. Sarge is a hard worker, and can be kind when he wants t' be. But put Grif in th' room n' bam. He becomes hostile and angry."
"Yeah, these guys are strange." Rainbow Dash snickered, trying to brighten the mood. "But that's what makes them fun to be around, you know?"
"Ah guess." Applejack chuckled. "Him wanting t' prove better than Grif has proven t' be useful. Especially when it comes t' harvestin' apples."
"Sarge seems to rely on his pride more than anything else." Twilight smiled.
"Yeah, but that ain't really a bad thing." Applejack shrugged. "Pride's a good thing t' have."
"I never said it wasn't." Twilight nodded.
Soon the train stopped at the Ponyville train station and they quickly dismounted. The group gathered in the middle of the train station to talk one last time before going.
"Well, I certainly hope this night was as delightful for all of you as it was for Simmons and I." Rarity said sincerely, looking over the skirt once more to make sure it was in perfect condition.
"So is this what it's like to be on a break?" Simmons asked Grif in a confused.
"Sort of." Grif shrugged. "Except for that last part. I wish all breaks tasted that good."
"How much of the food did you throw compare to how much you ate?" Sarge asked with a rough laugh.
"I'd say it's about fifty-fifty." Grif smirked.
"Well at least this time you didn't sell your ammo to the Blues. This time you just ate it."
"Baby steps, sir." Grif said with a mock salute.
"Babies? Where?" Caboose said quickly, followed by a yawn.
"Caboose and I should probably go to sleep soon." Pinkie giggled at the tired eyed Caboose.
"But I don't want to sleep." Caboose pouted.
"But tomorrow is a whole new day filled with adventure."
"I love adventure." Caboose said excitedly.
"Good, but you have to sleep to be able to be ready." Pinkie said, hopping in Sugar Cube Corner's general direction.
"Okay." Caboose said quickly, slowly hopping after her.
"I like the idea of sleep too." Grif said, walking away from the train. "Not sure about the adventure though..."
Fluttershy looked back at Tex, who was talking to Rarity, then turned back to Grif and nodded. Fluttershy then caught up with Grif and began walking home, followed by Tucker and Rainbow Dash leaving the station.
"Still got some stuff on your hat." Sarge said jokingly to Applejack.
"What?" Applejack asked, taking off her hat to look at it, only to grumble once she saw it. "Darn it, thought ah got it all..."
Applejack slowly walked up to the ticket station and hit the service bell.
"Hello again, what can I do for you?" The mare asked pleasantly.
"Hey, d'ya mind if ah clean up mah hat a bit in there?" Applejack asked, pointing to the stall next to the ticket booth.
"Sure thing, let me unlock it for you." The mare nodded, sliding a key under the glass. "Just bring it back when you're done."
"Much appreciated." Applejack said, tipping her hat to the mare before grabbing the key with her teeth.
Once Applejack was inside, Church began walking towards the stall with Sarge.
"Where are you going?" Tex asked curiously.
"We're going to convince Applejack to let the others stay at her place. It shouldn't take too long, so don't run off ahead."
"Whatever, just try and be quick about it." Tex rolled her eyes, about to take a seat on the ground.
"Don't sit on the ground, do you have any idea how dirty it is?" Rarity asked hastily, practically jumping under Tex.
"Right, sorry." Tex grunted insincerely. "I guess I'll just stand here."
"Great. Have a fine night Tex, bring me back the skirt whenever you please." Rarity said anxiously, waving as her and Simmons left the train station.
"Hang on Church, I'll come too." Twilight said, trotting next to Sarge. "You might need some help convincing her."
"Sounds fine to me." Sarge said indifferently as they stopped by the break room.
Church knocked on the door, not wanting to wait for her to come out.
"Can this wait?" Applejack asked pleasantly as she began scraping the icing off of the hat.
"Maybe, but I think it's something we both want to get over with." Church said.
"What are ya talkin' about?" Applejack asked narrowly, opening the door a crack.
"Now that Tex is all set up here, Church decided he was going to grab Gary tomorrow morning and he needs a place to stay." Sarge explained, adding a small smile. "But I think we'll need to put Applebloom in your room so I can take hers."
"Ya want me t' take in Gary?"
"Not just Gary, we'll need you to look after most of the others too." Church said hesitantly. "I know that's a lot to ask since you probably find it difficult to trust just one of them, let alone three."
"Ya don't say. Twi, can ah have a word with ya?" Applejack asked quietly, opening the door wide.
Twilight shared a look with Sarge and Church, before walking in to the room.
"So what's this about ya'll wantin' th' fragments t' stay with me?" Applejack asked, closing the door behind her.
"Well it's just that there isn't any room anywhere else for them. Rarity, Fluttershy and I don't have any room for them, they can't openly access Rainbow Dash's home since none of them are pegasi, and Pinkie isn't exactly the most capable in terms of responsibility."
"Ah don't know Twi." Applejack shook her head slowly. "Ah wouldn't feel 'specially comfortable doin' that. What if Gary goes n' possesses Applebloom?"
"He won't, you have my word."
"Ah don't know..."
"Don't you trust me?" Twilight asked curiously.
"Of course ah trust ya, Twi. Ah trust ya one hundred percent. It's th' fragments ah don't trust."
"But there's nowhere else we can keep them, and I don't feel too happy about letting them loose in Ponyville. At least at the farm there is enough room for them, and different ways to keep them locked up. We can make this work out."
Applejack sighed and shook her head, thinking about what Delta had said about how dangerous they are.
"Please, Applejack." Twilight said quietly.
"Fine, but ah'll try t' think of a few rules for 'em to abide to. And if they so much as break one of 'em, they're out." Applejack muttered. "Not like ah trust 'em t' listen anyways..."
"Thank you. I'm sure once we've talked to them they'll see they have no other choice."
"Ah hope so." Applejack said with an unconvinced smile.

11:45 about to sleep.
A wild chapter appears!
Tie Gary up and leave him in some shed. Just make sure to fill his feed trough with slop every other day.
Rarity called it a dress
I cant wait!
Well, what is a fragment? Wolf thought to himself from the roof of the train station. Is it merely a piece of a whole, or is it a separate entity in and of itself? What is a fragment if the whole no longer exists? Does that mean it is still a fragment? Or does it become a unique being once separated from the whole? Thoughts like these had been plaguing Wolf since this whole AI mess started. And now all he wanted was an answer.
Applejack, just remember, you don't have to worry until somepony starts telling knock-knock jokes. Then you can worry.
You should have Pinkie teach Caboose the ADVENTUUUUUUURRRE~! Thing...
1026834 FLUTTERSHY'S SHED MUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!
1026886 That's not really what I meant; but now that I'm thinking about it, that really should give Gary incentive to not break any of the rules.
I hope O'Mally doesn't possess Big Mac. If he does, Ponyville is fucked.
1026931 no what if he possesses celestia
I wonder how everyone will react to Gamma's computerized voice. It gets annoying pretty fast and he only ever seems to tell knock-knock jokes.
1026945 He probably wouldn't know how to use magic, and Celetia doesn't have the strength that Big Mac has. Also, Celestia would probably just force him out of her mind or he wouldn't be able to possess her at all.
I wish she hadn't cleared things up with Mac it wouldve made things much more interesting
1026931 I think it's only Gary that posses ponies. O'Mally would want to tear them apart with his own hooves, if he can posses at all.
1026992 A thought just popped into my head. What if O'Mally possessed Veronica Santangelo? Holy skydiving Jesus Christ...We'd all be doomed. (This has nothing to do with the story, it just popped into my head.)
1027032 Also Gary is deceit so taking control of ponies and using them against their friends would make sense. And on a side note: Why do I think Gary and Applejack would make a good couple? Maybe it has something to do with the conflict from before. As well as the amusing conversation Big Mac will have with Gary!
1021646 man... fucking ponies man...

I apologize for being too lazy to check your profile, but have you written anything? You seem overly eager to turn every comment into a bit of literature.
1027093
Well played.
1026986
She hasn't...
1027250
Turning every comment into a bit of me is a good thing.
1026983
Alright, I'm calling this:
Gary possesses Luna. They use the EOH on his flank.
1027607 You forgot Simmons, Sarge, Church, Donut, Grif, Captain Flowers, and a bunch of the red and blue team members at Valhalla.

no if you remember in the RvB show Alpha could posses because he was the whole, O'Mally could posses(because that was one of the traits that he inherited), Epsilon could posses(because he is the Memory), and Tex could posses(Because she is not quite a fragment, but rather the byproduct of the fragmentation process). Gamma possed quite a few mechanical objects(the console, the tank, etc.), which leads us to believe that it was possible that he could posses lifeforms, but probably would not due to his disgust for the shisnos.
1028945
although O'Mally can only posses over radio and if Gamma can go into the shisnos he kept it well hidden(also for the mechanical part, he probably just went in AI style and im just too tired to think all that much about it)
1028945 I was talking about their forms now. We've yet to see Tex or O'Mally posses ponies yet. But we know Gary and Epsilon Church can. So I guess we'll have to wait and see if O'Mally will or not cause I doubt Tex will want to.
1027064 Gary is the closest thing to Discord...thats all i have to say.
1029626
Diet Discord?
i just caught up with the story its awesome so far.
now to play the waiting game for the next chapter, or my version at least. 
if anyone notices people going missing remember to agree it was no ones fault.
I can't wait to see Big Mac beat up Gary for 'invading' his sister. It will be a short fight, and at least one pony will get called a Shisno.
when will church learn that aj dose'nt trust him.
Dammit AJ why must you always be the one to NOT TRUST anyone .__.
1035379 that's just grif. the yautja species isnt known for lazy. we are known for being honorable, savage, and relentless hunters.

*peeks around corner to see a cannon at the ready*
Adventure is always just around the corner
