I can already perdect that the nuke wont hit the usa. With all thedefenses we have in place to stop suck a thing
I really hope that the firing mechanics on that unit are so computerised that only the correct passcode sent to it will decode to the correct timings, and that noone knows the random number before unlocking from the secure database.
Even at least, thats a dirty item, and still noone is talking about Changelings or Chrysalis specifically and her mind magics as well as supersizing and non living object shifting?
Magically tweaked CRISPR vs XChangelings is going to be messy, as Any counter agent would be aquired by Chrysalis and leads first.
Fucking called it.
Do nukes regularly go missing in America?
9505935
Look it up, nuclear materials have gone missing before.
Are you scared? Should be a little.
That's... going to be impossible, given how much America loves its guns. I mean, there are civilians who own tanks and artillery. All it'd take is becoming friends with these people to get a chance to study them in detail. Not to mention that the arms industry is one of the biggest in America, and they would love to sell to foreign countries willing to pay any price.
Also what kind of numbnut would trust Chrysalis of all creatures? That is someone who has already shown she's more dangerous than the Americans are.
Oh this will not end well... for anyone... And for all they are stealing things, I don't see the changelings being able to actually use the nukes properly...
9505948
A decommissioned tank is less of a catch than a fully-armed model. A full army soldier's gear is more than a civilian will generally have. It's all about limiting and slowing things. Ultimately, the civvies passing aid in a not-war zone are actually less likely to come to harm without soldiers mucking about making it a war zone, even if you forget the espionage angles.
9505948
No. Neither Chryssy or the TSDI know how dangerous humans are when provoked. How we behave when were feel threatened as a collective.
Her changelings' only advantage were not being detected....yet. The moment they are identified as hostiles, all bets are off.
Oh sh*t ... chrysalis is gonna poke the sleeping tiger.
Ill put my next thought in spoiler free so i wont ruin chapter for new readers.
But still unlike you see in movies .... America doesn't lose track of nukes if one is found to be missing their considered stolen .... their checked on regularly especially during a state of emergency...theird be a shitstorm of investigating using the transfer as the excuse wouldn't fly on any level of the military its more likely to be treated as ... in enemy hands until further info acquired ... id be surprised if the military doesnt have a satellite allready looking for the radiation signature of the missing nukes like the one chrysalis is displaying out in the open and not in a lead shielded silo or bunker.
Edited... just a heads up im not saying weve never lost any ... storms during transport /pilot error / enemy shoting plane down ....just saying the investigation would be going on for months ... with every attempt to reaquire the package.
It's hard not to sympathize with the TSDI. They are rightfully scared of the US, and if they knew more of its history they'd be terrified.
Also, given the new makeup of the world, I wonder how US...excess is going to affect the environment. Especially because a lot of waste is "disposed" of in places where humans don't live.
9505923
Eh, those "defenses" mostly are comprised of preventing enemies from getting ahold of materials to make such a weapon to begin with. And even the missile defenses that do exist (but aren't anything like the complete shield you suggest) don't do anything against something brought in in a magically-warded (against weather, being spotted, etc) rowboat and carted down main street.
If Chrysalis has gotten ahold of a few warheads and the knowhow to set one off (hint: the Hollywood "press a button and a countdown begins" is probably dead wrong...), she'll be able to get them almost anywhere she wants them.
One more nail put into the Changeling Xenocide coffin. They'd better hope a reliable detector is made or it will be too dangerous to let changelings live.
9506000
I'm gonna go out on a limb and say if what's about to happen is what seems to be happening, Chrysalis just guaranted those nails will actually be screws.
9505954
Oh I'm not arguing against not sending the military. That just sounds like common sense to me, given that it's a purely humanitarian relief effort, not a military occupation. The US military has a rather questionable reputation among allied militaries when it comes to the whole hearts and minds thing to begin with (a military friend who served in Afghanistan came home with stories like how they had to teach their American colleagues that talking to civilians with drawn weapons does not help put them at ease), and the US is on thin ice in the new world on top of that. Showing the world that the US can do more than just send soldiers into other countries is a great way to build bridges.
9505977
There's that, and then there is trusting Chrysalis. The changeling who rejected being forgiven for invading the single most peaceful nation on the world twice, and who looked at the fix for a genetic defect of her people and said "yeah, nuts to that. I prefer a near-permanent starvation that forces me to feed on innocents."
9505923
It WOULD serve as a way to negate the TSDF's moral support, since they'd be attacking first and we'd have no idea whether they have more nukes or not.
Huh, that overestimation of nuke amounts reminds me of the one Japan made back when we first developed them... only for us, it would have the opposite effect.
9505935
Kinda but usually their radioactive signature is tracked or attempted at least. Chryssy isn't in a lead bunker, the moment they get that signature she's dead meat.
9505979
Especially after she makes a demonstration. Crane would also right away get on the line with their allies and ask who would have the capabilities and means to get such weapon, Thorax will be grilled soon enough. It's gonna be a mess, but when the name Chrysallis surfaces, the hunt will began.
And frankly, nukes aren't the worst, genetically engineered bioweapons aimed at a specific species are ( they can mutate and can jump to other beings ) and they are even more invisible. Nukes, you at least can detect radiation, or is mostly limited to an area, bioweapons being 'quite alive' do as life in general, spread, and evolve.
I wouldn't be surprised if some of the US shadow government / agencies wouldn't already consider such things to be brought to existence, or if they haven't already.
9505995
And even then we do have the technology to disarm a nuke
I am not sure the TSDF knows what it is doing, they have seen smiling and restrained humans. If that weapons is used anywhere then humans will stop smiling and possibly stop being restrained.
If not for reaction to an attack, then for keeping the weapons from hurting their allies and future.
Edit:
The population of the United States are already worried and hurt. That means they are one mutual threat away from being all and more TSDF fears.
9506072
Not only that but atleast a nuke will kill you outright which is considered a mercy in a way ... we might not use them but using chemical weapons is something we agreed to not use when we signed the geneva convention rules.... guess what theirs no more geneva convention rules here. Just dropping napalm alone would horrify the USAs enemies. Plus nuking america first turns them into hypocrites.... them saying we need to team up to defend ourselves is different then we need to team up to attack them before they attack us.
In a way im giddy with anticipation... picturing the entire navies of multiple countries versus just 1 of our fleets.
Sir the americans have sent 10 ships to engage us ... their colossal. (Figure 1 carrier for air superiority 3 battleships for ship to ship 3 destroyers for ship to airship/flyers trying to board 3 cruisers for quick intervention just in case.) The captains response *pfft* 10 ships no matter how big versus 500 well destroy them.
Later that day the remaining ships who surrendered to the americans are allowed to look for survivors. While being monitored by the untouched american fleet.
9506078
That's assuming someone with the knowhow to do so even knows it's there in time to do anything about it.
There's a reason that's considered a "nightmare scenario" for the folks whose job is keeping the public safe from such an event... it is NOT a foregone conclusion that they even can succeed, when they have to be perfect in detection and response every single time, and the enemy only has to evade them once for it to be a catastrophe.
9506138
We don't have battleships in commission anymore, and reactivating one from museum status would cost more and take longer than just building a new one from scratch.
But we've got tons of destroyers and cruisers armed with lovely ship-to-whatever-you-please-guv'na missiles, with a deck gun thrown in here and there as a cost-effective surface action weapon that'll do the job before the enemy can even see them from beyond the horizon, with spotting provided by a plane or drone in the air, so we don't need them, either.
9506106
9506103
Precisely. But that may be what Chrysalis wants... she's crazy, after all!
It's possible that chrysalis could get her hooves on some nukes, but I think what she has is pretty much all she's gonna get. Any nukes going missing is a serious cause of alarm, so security will be cracking down hard, and anti-changeling alarms will start to be used now that they know changelings exist. So chrysalis probably at max has a dozen, the TSDI might try to reverse engineer them but that will be a decade long project most likely. Let's see were this goes.
9505935
No, but they never had to deal with changelings before hand. I think from here on out all nukes and technology will be closely monitored and spying countered.
9505948
A scared shitless peoples who willingly make deals with the devil.
9506162
Whoops your right ... forgot about that...damn liked the thought of 9 giant cannons 1 shotting ships.
TSDI and Chrysalis I doubt they even know what goes into making a NUKE just having it won't make really make a difference, plus there's the safeguards that are in those. They really don't know anything about it from what materials are used in its construction to making the refined nuclear material need to detonate it.
There's also the problem with Chrysalis everyone there has to know she's up to something, getting a world-ender as the chairman said and bits of tech that one can freely buy on the market? She clearly has interests in humans, she even said their superior in her eyes and I can see this playing out in several ways.
One she plans one using the nuke to take out the leaders of the TSDI to win favor with the humans which I doubt will work.
Two she playing both sides ultimately to get into positions of power within human society by distracting them with an enemy and has no real intention of letting TSDI have any of humanity's weapons because that would weaken the power balance she wants and will sabotage their efforts to reverse engineering it.
Three this is a ploy to take out the TSDI by gaining their trust and then betraying them leaving the humans in a near absolute position of power but because the humans may only know about one type of changeling and Americas current position is to tempting to pass up with how naïve they are of this world and if she plays her game right she could rule it.
Four well she plans on starting a war having humanity and it allies come out on top then slowing working their way deep into their society also gaining a position which she can control everything easily again from a near absolute position of power then rule the world.
I have a few other scenarios for how she could play this out but their a bit convoluted.
9505954
since im Canadian trapped with American citizens im thinking we would want some land that is not owned by America or any equestrian nation, and start our own nation comprised of said foreign refugees we would still be allies with America and equestria but we would most likely want to lead an investigation on where the hell the minotaurs got their hands on a carbine
9506248
What land where, and how do you know about this carbine?! Are you a spy? I have my eye on you.
9506227
Never underestimate the danger of evil plus stupid.
Nuclear weapons have been "lost" in accidents, but the US know where they are. The issue is retrieving them, so in a way, can monitor the area. Losing a nuke in a storage depot is a whole different manner. The US armed forces would go nuts looking for that one. And the president would be promptly informed of a missing nuke.
9506349
So tell me where she got it.
9505923
It's not a missile. It's a suitcase bomb basically, which means it has to be carried to its destination. At least I think that's the type of payout it is.
9505979
Sleeping giant. Just like in WWII.
Alright, a lot of people said thier part on what's gonna happen involving the nukes. Most of probably right, but here's what I think will happen.
Depending on how many nukes chrysalis was able to grab, a lot of them will be given to the TSDI, which they will use as a shield to prevent America from using thier nuclear weapons on them, basically a deterrence. With nukes no longer an option the war that will likely come shall be fought with conventional weapons, true we have a LOT more, but now they will only be used as a last resort.....or a last act of defiance.
Cant say what chrysalis will do with the ones she will keep, but more then likely it will involve equestria in some way.
I can't wait to see A-10 Warthogs and B-52 bombers fly over Changeling territory and bomb the absolute shit out of them.
9506360
Id be more interested in finding out how she got the usb drive that probably has the arming codes ... now thats fn impressive..... thats some james bond shit right there.
You know what im thinking .... this is hypothetical... i think chrysalis is trying to use the humans to get back at all the other races who consider her people vermin for god knows how long and fear them like they fear the humans .... so knowing what she does shes setting the whole thing up as revenge.... she might not like equestria .... but atleast now her changlings arent attacked on sight there.... probably...just have to sit through boring speeches ... for hours ...about the power of friendship before being let go. Even if shes villified by the humans as the next hitler for her part in any bombing atleast they'd be more accepting of her people. Like i said just hypotesyzing.
9506550
Your image makes that statement feel odd.
9506568
shhhh, don't tell anyone!
9506360
I have to reread the story again....
"Cause for some reason, I cannot remember.
9506349
That was a logical challenge. If held weapons would be reacted to if lost, but there are lost ones that they can't retrieve... what likely happened?
9506319
I know stupid can't be predicted
ooo a bit of a cold pack situation here
America is about to speak softly but carry a big stick type of people I hope the other nations will actually do a little research into why we had to have weapons those wars and situations were not kind
9506664
I'm still going to reread the story, I don't remember the earlier chapters of your story, probably has to do that I read them late at night, I'm reading stories when I'm on the bed to help me sleep. Either way, I'm going to reread the chapters again.
But side that... the US has lost a total of 8 nukes. The two most in famous case, the first one they lost on Tybee Island, Georgia in 1958. A B-47 collided with a Saber fighter, forcing it to jettison its nuke it was toting. The air force claims it didn't have the core but they may be lying to keep the people from panicking. That one got lost as it plunged deep into the muddy marshes. No death resulted in that collision, but the Saber fighter ditched into the sea after the pilot ejected. Supposedly, search parties are made now & then to locate the bomb.
The second incident occurred in N Carolina when a B-52 crashed, losing three bombs, two were found & the third only partial. The core sinking into a swamp. The air force bought the area where the bomb sank to keep people from digging for the core. There wee other incidents, some recovered & one more presumably lost.
I'm guessing the Changeling stole a W-80 warhead designed for cruise missile. Roughly over 2 & a half feet, with a weight about 280 lbs. It's a variable warhead with a yields between 5 to 200 kt. If it was swiped from some weapon depot, that would be the easiest one to steal due to its small size & would need several drones to hoist it aloft (a w-88 is five feet & an unyielding weight of 800 lbs).
Reading literature back in the 80, any ship or craft that can carrying tomahawk cruse missiles were all nuclear capable, even an unassuming small fright Oliver Hazard Perry class were nuclear capable. During a nuclear standoff with the Soviets, the techs would simply remove the conventional warhead from the cruise missile & swap it with a W-80 nuke. Those were interesting times....🤯
People have been fired or forced to retire when nukes were simply misplaced, later found of course, but that would be the end of a carrier for the one in charge. Right now, in your stories, head must be rolling off for that one lost to changelings.
Well... Look forward to your next chapter. This is getting interesting...
9506889
To be fair, changelings have a game breaker ability for any infiltrator: they can be anyone or even anything. That not counting Chryssy's mind control sorcery. Currently, US military lacks any countermeasure against that.
