This story is a sequel to Lament of a Spoon
In an Equestria where steam is the power of the day, Big Macintosh is the captain and chief mechanic of a private cruise liner, the Silver Spoon. When the mare the ship is named for is captured and held for ransom, the massive red stallion will stop at nothing to get his employer's daughter back. Backed by his loyal second-in-command Colgate and receiving an unexpected ally in the form of a legendary adventurer, the workhorse will have to outwit a devious mastermind who will do even more to see the Spoonship Corporation destroyed.

Silver spoon and Big Mac? I don't know how i feel about this...
For now, I'll wait and see where this goes.
I feel great about this! It surpasses my ideas Rom-Com base to be something much more interesting. Can not wait to see how this develops!
Nice start! Looking forward to the next chapter.
amazing so far keep it up
Huh. I have... no idea where this is going. So let's see.
Big Macintosh hadn’t slept for most of the night. He tossed and turned, royally ticked that he had let her slip through his fingers.. i think you mean hooves.
Also, write more please.
Ack, this may be getting a bit dark for me.

Don't feel bad. When this one finishes, I'm not sure I'll be able to read it again.
We'll find out where my currently sordid muse takes me.
Keep going. I'm still reading.

How is it so far? What do you think I could do with it?
I like it so far. The last chapter went by quick which isn't necessarily a bad thing, but felt like there was a bit more that was left out. Not sure what that is, but it is what I felt when I hit the end. With the whole town being shocked into complete fear maybe their is one small voice that isn't so easily silenced. Maybe not helpful, but not bent to the domination of Ms. Philharmonica.

Although I didn't make any explicit mention of who it was, she has already been introduced, though in a less than desirable state...
Hold up. So Mac is only three years older then Silver Spoon, and AJ is AB's twin?
mind blown.
Also how did mac know to ask AJ if she had seen THREE other ponies with Silver Spoon?
Octavia! Dun dun dun
Why do you refer to Octavia as a tan mare when she is ash gray?
And is Applebloom still a little filly?
Well I'm hooked.
I especially love the little SM thing Octavia has going with her pets.
So is Diamond Tiara at all involved, or does she even exist?

Corrected. He didn't witness anyone leaving her shack, so he wouldn't know.

Your Diamond Tiara question has been answered.
Does this take place in the near future? If so, then this ship actually kind of makes sense.
I've certainly never heard of this ship before. Given the family it originates from, it is likely a fine craft.
But The story is probably nicer than the boat, so I'll track for now, at least.

Initially, I had planned it as a direct AU happening instead of the show. Now, I'm thinkin' I actually put it in the near future. My muse is weird.

Hope you enjoy what you read.
Nice to see a new chapter after a near half a year. I always enjoy surprises.

I would have updated sooner, but, unfortunately, my muse played elsewhere until now.
Well, now we're getting somewhere.
Not sure if you've seen this yet but, you're on the featured list!

Dreamscape's been there a few times. The last three slots are for high-interest, high-upvoted stories.
So Rarity became a ghost/zombie to break Silver Spoon out? Creepy and yet, so sad.
Taken IV
Starring Liam Neeson as Big Macintosh
"Ah WILL find y'all. An' Ah'll kill ya. Eeyup."
"... Good luck."
"Why, thank ya kindly." *Click*
Well, who ELSE would run the pony mafia?
I see a lot of potential here.
"Cutie Mark Crusaders Mob Enforcers, YAAAAAAAAY!!"
That... That MONSTER! She ruined Rarity's MANE!
No mercy for the blasphemer!
Did... Did they just get equipped with a video game inventory system?
They just got equipped with a video game inventory system. They're walking around with freaking ECHOs.
Well, at the very least I don't think Mac is in for a double-cross. There isn't much reason for Baggin to equip them and then order them to march to their deaths rather than just firing them.
Oh. For a minute there I thought Twilight Sparkle had dematerialized. Damn these ponies and their silly names!
Man, all that "friendship" sure fell apart in a hurry.
"Loyalty" doesn't just mean you feel remorse for betraying your closest friends, Rainbow Dash!
... Well, it makes sense that if one of the mares was in heat, most of them are.
I hope they didn't ALL spend their scouting time making out. This is just a LITTLE bit serious.
Geez, Zecora. You went from hyper-competent to useless in ten seconds flat.
I guess their tactics clash.
Huh. So she's a ghost.
Well, then Octavia can't really take her life from her either, can she?
