I don't really swear in real life but...
damn.
FUCK YOU STARLIGHT!!!!!!!
Well. thats shown he has been terminally compromised. How can anyone trust that any information from him isnt altered or sourced from the spell unless its been cleared, which it was supposed to have been the first time, and obviously hasnt. Course ponies would try Elements, but if that fails also and they only realise after the termination of leadership.
Well. Theyre stuffed.
Starlight Starbright you're a fucking cunt light.
If Sunny dies, Imma be mad. REAL mad. And you wouldn't like me when I'm angry...
Seriously now, I'm loving where this is going, but if either Chaser or Sunny dies I'm going to be legit pissed
8400258
Keep sunny, but you can kill off Chaser! He's an asshole, but Sunny is a nice gal and better for John than Luna is!
8400300
Hah, I agree that John should had stayed with Sunny. And yes, Chaser's an asshole, but that's why I like him so much.
So Starlight got her time travel spell through the help of John in your fic? Season 5 finale confirmed!
And so he kind of loses more and more his qualifications for being suited for his position as a captain. He can't defend himself at all against this spell Tirek casted on him, even after all this time. With the dominance spell active every idiot can order him around and demand whatever they want and he can't do shit to stop it. Seriously? That's a huge problem for everypony involved, no matter how they want to defend him.
I mean magic is his greatest weakness and not only a minor, but a major one. It looks like his body is absolutely unable to build up protection against magic, otherwise he would have been able to at least defend himself for some time against his evil twin until he found help. And not that he gets imprisoned again in his own mind in an instant like it happened the first time.
I guess being a human on a magic filled world is the worst that can happen for him. Normally every being should be able to build up protection against magic on some level. Like a magical immune system, but John hasn't any at all.
If THIS gets public knowledge, the royals and John will have a problem. I can see that a lot of higher ranked Ponies, who already don't like him, because he gets a special treatment, will demand that Luna and Celestia will take away his position. And it would be justified. Sorry, but no matter how much "advancements" he can bring them, he is a walking security problem when the most basic of spells can stop him as much as a bullet where it hurts the most.
Starlight Glimmer just prooved it easily, she simply gave him an order to infiltrate the castle and he did it like an obedient puppet. Especially with his rank and being a (for the most part) trusted member of the military. What if he falls again for a spell and enemies simply order him to give them their military secrets? Or when they try to create better weapons in the desert and they order him to give them the prototypes or plans?
If John isn't very careful he will turn the usually peaceful world into something much more violent when he doesn't stop his weapon research at one point and always tries to go further, and further and further.
It was never achieved for long to keep weapons a secret, no matter how much someone tried. There will always come the day it gets stolen by enemies.
John really needs to wear a god damn tinfoil hat if this shit keeps happening. That's if he keeps his job even. There's no mental pushups he could have learned to help fight this? From some old pony up a mountain somewhere?
Now, this was made a note of when it happened the first time by John and the princesses. But it should have been a priority one for them to deal with. He's single handedly building up Equestria's firepower and is the most susceptible. That's like Area 51 kind of secret.
How the castle's pr spindoctors don't blow a fucking gasket over this is beyond me.
8400300
Not sure Sunny will jump into John's arms at any point if he turns Chaser into a bloody stain on the bedsheets...
While I appreciate that this is trying to bring more drama to the story, if John somehow survives this with reputation and job intact it would be ludicrous, to me there's no way he can keep his role in the military as it is unless this gets fixed quickly, permanently, and with a huge cover up.
Nuuuuuuuuu what happened?! I hate cliff hangers
I haven't read this story in nearly a month and I end my reading on this?? FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

That is actually not true. By 'Electronics', namely what I am pointing at is the DIGITAL timer on a BOMB, in other words it has CIRCUITRY, aka Computer level technology.
Even the Evolution of guns in this 'world' doesn't make sense. It originally came about by people in the middle ages with Cannons wanting to make the cannons smaller so they didn't have to transport them over long distances all the time, since they were so big and heavy. So Scientists and Engineers devised ways of making Cannons smaller and more portable. It took many Decades before it became small enough to make the a portal weapon like the flintlock Pistol. Which was basically a Mini Cannon shooting Mini Cannon Balls. I'm not even drawing comparisons, that is ACTUALLY what it is. It's a small portable cannon.
And during that age, back in the age of the great explorers and sailers, the only 'bombs' were Black Powder bombs that were small containters of Black Powder and a string for a fuse. But Griffons, as shown a few chapters ago, have Chemical Bombs and using tactics and actions Terrorists of TODAY use to assault and attack public places in TODAY's country. And there was a bomb for John to disarm, that was rigged for me, that again had a DIGITAL TIMER on it, and acted like an IED, where as every other bomb before then had a fuse.
The story is taking Technology from many different ages, namely the weapons, without anything attached to them. For example, is HOW did they have CHEMICAL Weaponry. The first use up Chemical Weapons in our world history was in World War 1, if I remember right, and it was very primitive and easily countered. Mostly stuff you had to inhale and easily countered by holding your breath, and cause of this the 'tech' to fight Chemical weapons, such as Gas Masks and full body protective suits weren't invented. And note, this is DIFFERENT than protective suits used by Medics in the instance of a plague or virus outbreak. they are not the same thing, and serve different purposes.
But in this story, Ponies already have Gas Masks, and full body protective gear, even tho that 'Chemical Bomb' was the FIRST and ONLY instance of a Chemical Weapon in existence up to that point.
The story is acting like, like I pointed out in post you replied to, a 4-X game. It's going 'Oh know, they have Chemical Weapons, better research Chemical Protection and instantly get protective gear.' And it doesn't organically work like that. And while yes, John is bring up the Pony's tech level with weapons, he was NOT the one that asked or invented Chemical Weapons, nor the Protection Equipment from it. They popped into existence just in time for the for and only Chemical Bomb situation in the Gryphon Kingdom. <--- And this is what I have a problem with.
Tech is just being invented, to have a conflict. However, it's in reverse. Usually the Conflict has the stuff first, so the heroes make a solution to counter it. It's the opposite here. JOHN has the solution, so the Gryphons are granted tech to counter him.
---
John has a Fully Automatic Rifle, so Gryphons get a jump start in Gun Weaponry and Ponies start with none.
Ponies greatly Jump Start farther in Gun Weaponry than Gryphons, so Gryphons make IED Bombs.
John has IED training, so Gryphons make Chemical Weapons.
John loses his FAR, so Gryphons do nothing.
John has Chemical Defense Training, so Gryphons turn to Tirek for Magic.
And that's as far as the story has gotten so far. So far John has always had an advantage over Gryphons, and so the Author has boost Gryphons to be a threat to him, even if it makes no sense Culturally, Economically, or Technologically.
Heck, if I remember right, I am wrong about Gryphons even starting to have guns in the first place. I think I remember in the very beginning of the story, John was put on trial and his gun accidentally went off. And just from what, from seeing his gun from afar and seeing it shoot once, Gryphons was able to copy the gun and made their first batch of mass produced gunpowder weapons within weeks. If I remember, it was the reason why Luna brought him in to join the Army, to invent their own guns to counter the ones Gryphons made based on John's own gun. That is a MASSIVE leap in tech from ONE viewing of seeing a stick that made a loud noise and reportedly kills things.
Really hope this corruption doesn't last more than 2ish chapters. I can only hate a character so much.
Luna's gunna feel like shit when she finds out she left him at his most vulnerable, though.

He never said a digital timer
That's a basic old kitchen timer you'd wind and it'll simply tick down. The timer itself was not even a part of the device, it was a trap to lure the victim into the side passage as the device was 'victim operated' like most IED's military come across.
Chemical weapons themselves are not necessarily high tech. Technically, a simple gas canister attached to an explosive device is classified as a chemical weapon. Especially since the Chemical bomb used later were simple canisters which allowed their contents to drain.
The respirators were stated to have been used for industrial purposes, which would justify why they have protective equipment against poisonous and harmful gases. Their history is different to ours, technology would develop in some areas quicker than others. With no need for respirators to be developed for warfare, it isn't far fetched that Equestria (a society that cares for its citizens) would provide protective equipment for its workers.
Also... the suits are cannon
