soooo i take it then the hypogrifs dont exist in this univers then? good to know if the case
10912716
Hippogrifs do exist.
"A counterfeit warrant for a counterfeit pony"
Was an insult, because slipstream is imperonating a hippogrif, which is a pony griffon hybrid
Glad to clear this up, how are you enjoying D.E so far?
Will we get to see them try to stop the plane? I'm imagining flying pony's being introduced to high speed fans if you know what I mean.

;)

the story is alright cause it make sense aslong it make sense i dont mind and it is a alternative univers so slipstream is a changesling in this univers
10915012
Thats good to hear, also, did you mean silverstream?
Because i chose the name slipstream after making sure there were already no existing characters using that name...
10915374
posibly but its confusing when they have som any god damn similar names so *shrugs* cant be helped
10915406
Yeah, i know the feeling. At somepoint during chapter 39, about halfway through it i started typing silverstream, instead of slipstream. And i didnt notice until after i have posted the chapter xD
This organization, EMNI was it? What’s that stand for? Sounds like a paramilitary group that operates outside Equestrian civil rights laws. And from what Slipstream said, they are very corrupt and guilty of some heinous crimes that would most certainly garner the negative attention of local law enforcement and Equestrian royalty.
10921095
Equestrian Ministry of National Intellergence or also known as:
Equestrian Ministry of National Defence.
As slipstreams explained (i hope to everything sacred that made it into the latest two chapters... because the tab i was writing in refreshed without me instructing it to...) the EMNI are a relic of the Lunar rebellion that has stuck around in the Equestrian government because a majority of the nobles and Celestia herself still think their job in international and internal espionage is required for the continued saftey of the empire. Though she most likly knows not of their wrong doings...
Long story short. They are a shadey branch of the equestrian military police structure that exploits loopholes through the hopelessly stale and antiquated Equestrian lawbooks to either get what they want when noones scrutinising them, or make Equestrias national security threats or threats to their continued existance .
As Fancypants said;
"Those EMoNI Agents are a dreadful and Antiquated relic of past desperation."

I had assumed to an extent the pegasi were just hurt by the AA guns due to the caliber as you said. I do not recall something saying that the bigger weapons were not allowed to aim at infantry, but I may have just missed or forgotten that. I also assumed that was a rule regardless because anything else would rapidly become less game and more... murdery. I never did figure out how the firearm paint rounds worked until your explanation now though, so I appreciate that. I remember them being described as paint tips, but with how confident people seemed to be in their ability to kill with them Scene Spoiler: Such as in the lancer-01 confrontation with Celestia and Luna, or the HQ standoff when a leader aimed at the ponies I was convinced that having paint tips must have meant "metal bullet tip with a small paint capsule" rather than just the entire tip being paint. It seems like they were either being overly optimistic or bluffing now .

Oh, I see the confusion there. Sorry about that. I was referring to a reader trying to stop themselves from crying when reading something emotional, not you trying to stop the scene from continuing. I find that those kind of scenes are more fun if you just let your emotional guard down when reading one. After I read your comment on that chapter about crying while writing it I was just saying that you did a good job because you did manage to get a few tears from me.
10933656
As they're using a full compressed co2 canister (assuming the small silver ones) per shot, it's not much of a bluff. Heavy bruising at best to broken bones for those not buried deep under muscle.
Oh that is not going to end well for the wannabe black shirts. A 12.7mm fmj can go through a door, the human behind it and still kill the guy behind him at a mile plus by converting their organs into mush through hydrostatic shock alone. A steel 12.7mm... the only cover against that is 2 inches or more of armor-grade steel. And these goons are out on an airfield with no cover...
10933656
Yeah, i tend to throw myself into the situation, sit in the room with the characters in a sense. It helps with picturing the atmosphere of the room.
And its alot of fun to let your emotional guard down when reading xD
It helps the writer get their story across so much more smoothly. Also helps you view the characters as real people with intricate and complicated souls.

Indeed, thats why the humans wear all those layers of padded kevlar, so much that they need a cooling vest/hip pack. Their helmets fully enclose their heads, and their helmet visors are made of 30mm thick aluminium glass.
But whilst they are in little to no danger of being perferated whilst wearing all of their equipment, the concussive force of the larger firearms such as AT rifles or anti air caliber cannons can cause alot of problems under the armour still.
Their helmets are quite literally bulletproof to smallarms.
Thus why during the uprusing, robert and johnna aimed for their fellow sportsmens necks. The neck inherrantly has less protection so the players can turn their heads normaly.
Fun bonus facts: the helmets HUD is holographic, being projected onto the inaide of the electronically tinted visor. The helmet also holds a 2TB SSD and two cameras (one inside facing the players face and can be toggled on or off by the wearer, and one outside facing the wearers LoS) that films in 1080p. It also has the ability to play movies and music. The helmet also has a very short range radio comlink, about 9-12M range.
This self contained system is used to remove the contentants excuise for taking smartdevices with them, since they were used once to cheat by watching a live broadcast of the event.
I think I found the problem with pony diplomacy.
"I can't hear what you're saying because your actions talk too loud."
The stupid princesses keep talking about humans needing to trust ponies and that ponies are good.
But every time they turn around the humans see nothing but ponies being howling bigots at best and downright fascists at worst. Now, which would you believe - words or actions - when dealing with a species proven to be fully capable of mass murder with the only excuse given being "you might be predators"?
I might have to read the chapter that introduced slipstream again to see if there were any hints. Maybe I am just a suspcious person, but before their first conversation with slipstream had even ended I said to myself “That is almost certainly a changeling.” I was honestly unsure if any would even appear in this story and just went “nope, thats a changeling.”.
10945465
There were most certainly very subtle hints
For example. When shes shown affection she gets all emotionally gooey.
Even the shade she blushes is a mix of her coat colour and green. ;)
10942529
To be honest. This reaction isnt too far from being expected.
Lets face it, the ponies are generally Xenophobic. And this in the end lends them to being slightly racist.
Also, they're first public exposeure to humans was the humans leveling several townships...
So public...relations are a little tense... but yeah the EMoNI agents are just racist jerks that are used to getting away with faaaar too much.
10946244
Ooookay then... last time i checked she should have blushed brown, i even googled if her coat colour and teal made brown and google agreed...
...
Lets just play along xD
Brown isnt normal blush colour regardless so that should have been an alarm bell
I wonder how the princess will react to the treatment of the humans from her subjects, and when does the tril for the other guy start? I forgot his name.
10984507
The trial for *That, guy* will take place when the humans can comfortably do so. Comfortably in a sense that they are able to metaphorically stand on their own feet and are not in danger from the elements, hunger ect.
So, Soon...tm.
10984763
And the other question such as how her own subject are treating them like low class citizens and call them what they think is some racial slur and then find out that her subjects are trying to kill them?
10984821
(She doesnt know that)
EMoNI are a division of governmental police force. Secret police. Think CIA that has the right to imprisoj and interrogate anyone they believe is a threat to national security.
Over the course of a millenium of mostly self guidance theyve become corrupted. Deviously so. They function as a lawful, contributing part of the government. But on the inside they support their own self interests whilst hiding behind the badge of the law.
10985073
So they do a lot of things the princesses aren't aware of?
I am thoroughly intrigued just by the intro alone, can't wait to read this.
10985125
In a nutshell, yes. Because if your dead you cant tell anyone.
Nice story although this story about paintball guns really missed that left turn at Alburquerque. 8/10 this helped ruin my sleep schedule.

Thanks for the review!
Yeah, I know I managed to do alot of storytelling without story. Key plot points are missing still this far in, I was trying to take my time to explain things but the increasing confusion has reached critical levels.
I'm currently assessing a way to rectify the issue without posing the risk of harming the story via excessive editing.
My current options are.
A-Proceed with the plan and just embrace the heavy confusion (I dont very much like this plan but its the safest route)
B-Produce a 2nd edition of D.E that is the same story but Improved and layed out in a mannor that explains key mechanics and the humans equipment early.
C-Add chapters in between the existing ones. For example chatper 'X'.1, .2, .3 so on.
D-or my second safest option. Produce D.E in a way in which, the main plotpoints are shown in D.E, but the story is elabourated through the experiences of characters going through the stories events. So instead of one book. You get D.E as your master guide to key eventd through the story. And the story itself is told in smaller books that make up the various characters experiences with those key events.
For example, the battle of ponyville chapters.
-the battle of ponyville can be divided into two or three short books shoeing the battle from different perspectives;
>One from Char trying to non-lethally down clouds of bombers that are activly trying to kill him and his squadron.
>one from an infantry sections view on the ground fighting the corrupted humans.
>and one from a civilian pony (and his familys) perspective as the humans try getting them to the castle alive, tgrough burnt out building and rubble clogged streets. As the corrupted activly hunt them down.
But I dont know. What I do know is that im too indecisive to decide fully. I need all of you, my readers to came to vote.
A, B, C, or D. Im more inclined to say D is the best option. Due to the ability to be far more immservie and show more detail in the writing. And the smaller books would allow me to produce stories of overall better quality I feel. But. Your vote!

Apologies for any mispelling. My phone has several dead pixels (both clusters and bands of them) and it making typing a pain...
11015264
This isn't the first time I've read a story where Equestria is our Earth's Future. I do however agree that the battle was confusing. Also left unexplained are the freaky flying monsters or why they got dragged into the future.

Wouldn't someone see her fly in? Did they not have guards outside?
11035128
Its dark, its raining, and theyre in the everfree forest. So no light pollution. So long as she kept to below treetop level she would have been fine
