“So what are we going to do about this Supertramp woman?” Cassandra asked from where she was sitting across from Ethan and Twilight. Shining was still asleep while Veronica and Arcade were off doing something or other that involved science, flashing lights, and people making loud exclamations about how impossible things were. Ethan had never been into that kind of thing…
“I don’t know.” Ethan replied truthfully with a frown. “She seemed to shrug off most, if not all of my attacks and she had some wicked technology at her disposal. She managed to cut straight through my duster and my chest with a single shot.” Ethan added, his frown deepening.
“Ribs?” Cassandra asked.
“Fine, flesh and organs however…” Ethan replied with a shrug and a slight pat on his chest.
“Thank god for that plating.” Cassandra said with a small smile.
“Yeah, remind me to thank the tanks next time I’m there. Anyways, we’re dealing with someone extremely powerful. Not to mention that I’m pretty sure that she’s completely and utterly insane.” Ethan added.
“Since when is that new?” Cassandra asked with a smirk.
“It seems to me that our problem is that we really don’t know enough about her.” Twilight said.
“Yeah, if we knew what she really was we’d be able to think of something concrete. As it is the only thing I can think of is to try the most direct approach.” Ethan said rubbing his chin.
“What did you have in mind?” Cassandra asked.
“Sparky and I lure her into the open while you wait on a rooftop and snipe her. Meanwhile, Shining keeps her trapped in a shield from a safe distance while Veronica and Arcade do whatever it is they do.” Ethan replied with a shrug.
“Hmm… it could work.

Burke looked up in surprise as the door to his office was kicked (very literally) in by a large metal boot. A dozen thoughts soared through his head. Can I escape? Of course I can escape. I built in a dozen different ways out of here. Who is it? Maybe you should wait and see. Why the hell am I thinking this? Good question brain. As it turned out, the man who strode into the room was a very tall and sturdy man wearing legate armor (minus a mask). He had brown eyes that reminded Burke of the endless stretches of wasteland and a hard jaw that appeared to have been broken at some point in the past. Burke immediately jumped to his feet and lowered himself into a bow.
“My lord, I was not informed that you were coming so soon.” Burke said while keeping his eyes on the ground in deference to the man.
“I am aware of that Frumentarii; in fact that was my intention.” The legate said simply while narrowing his hard brown eyes.
“Have I done something to displease you my lord?” Burke asked hesitantly while eyeing the legate nervously.
“Not as of yet, I’m here to make sure that that remains the case. We have suffered repeated losses after the second battle of the dam and the Courier is pushing us back every day with her robots. The Capital Wasteland is our last chance to create what Caesar would’ve wanted; this shall be our final stand.” The legate explained his jaw set into a rock hard expression of determination.
“You seem very certain that I will not fail my lord.” Burke told the legate who gave him a withering smile that was enough to make even someone as cold as Burke flinch.
“Of course I am. This was your plan. If it fails, no matter why or how I will have you slowly killed until you are nothing but a shell. The first thing you will lose will be your feet below the ankles, then your hands at the wrist. Next you will lose your nose, then your left eye followed by the right. I’ll let you keep your ears so that you may hear the screams of the slaves and whelps upon their seeing of your destroyed form.” The legate told Burke almost conversationally. Burke froze for a few seconds. “Is something the matter Frumentarii? You seem troubled.” The legate added upon seeing the look that crossed Burke’s face.
“Of course not my lord… I was simply picturing our glorious victory over the pathetic people of this land.” Burke replied after a half second of thought.
“Good, I would hate for you to be thinking of anything else.” The legate told Burke with a passionless smile.
“My lord, I don’t remember you mentioning a name.” Burke said, trying to change the topic.
“That’s because I didn’t Frumentarii.” The legate said.
“I see; would you mind sharing it with me?” Burke asked.
“You may call me Octavian.”

“Sister, I have had great success!” Luna said as she woke Celestia up, it wasn’t even dawn yet…which should’ve been obvious…
“Luna I swear if this is about getting more orgasms out of Captain Bluestreak I’m going to kill you.” Celestia said tiredly. “How did he preform anyways?” She added as an afterthought.
“Very well. In fact, he’s almost up to my standards.” Luna replied brightly with a grin.
“Heaven help him then, hopefully he won’t die of dehydration like that griffin.” Celestia said with a smirk.
“He didn’t die; he was just unconscious for an hour or two!” Luna replied indignantly. “Besides, that was before we actually knew anything about medicine so it doesn’t count.” She added.
“I still hold my belief that asking a normal stallion to live up to the standards of the goddess of sex is a tad extreme.” Celestia said, giving Luna a small smile.
“It’s not that hard for them to orgasm twenty times, they just have to concentrate!” Luna replied with a snort.
“I suppose I should be happy you lowered it from fifty.” Celestia said with a sigh. Both sisters looked at each other for a few seconds in silence.
“Sister, did we just debate the semantics my sex life?” Luna asked with a small grin.
“I do believe we did sister.” Celestia said with a sigh. “Anyways, you said you’d made a great success…” Celestia said, trailing off with a hoof gesture for Luna to continue the thought.
“Oh yes, I’d forgotten in our discussion about stallions orgasming.” Luna replied with a smile which then fell from her face. “We’ve found Twilight Sparkle.” Luna said bluntly. Celestia’s face went through a gauntlet of emotions so fast that only someone who had known her as long as Luna (or Discord for that matter) would’ve been able to keep track of them. First was shock, then came amazement, next was exuberant joy. After that came an overwhelming outpouring of relief, but finally she caught sight of her sister’s face, which looked troubled, and her smile turned into a frown.
“What’s wrong Lulu?” Celestia asked and Luna sighed sadly. “She’s dead!” Celestia exclaimed, shocked.
“No sister, she isn’t dead.” Luna said with a frown.
“Oh, then what’s wrong?” Celestia asked in concern.
“Well…The Wasteland hasn’t been very kind to her.” Luna said shakily.
“Luna, stop avoiding the subject and tell me what’s happened to Twilight Sparkle!” Celestia said angrily.
“Sorry, I was just looking for a comforting way to put it.” Luna said, looking abashed.
“Luna just tell me, I’m over five thousand I’m sure I can take it!” Celestia said.
“Fine. Twilight Sparkle has spent the last seven days killing sentient beings for survival. She has also lost a leg and an eye which have been replaced by mechanical replicas.” Luna told her sister flatly.
“SHE WHAT?” Celestia asked in horror.
“Has lost a leg and an eye.” Luna repeated.
“But, but, but how?” Celestia asked seemingly unable to understand what Luna was telling her.
“Apparently she was hit by a missile.” Luna replied.
“A what?” Celestia asked.
“Oh right, sorry I forgot that you don’t get out much… A missile is basically an explosive arrow that is designed to punch through hard targets.” Luna explained to Celestia, who’s face contorted into a horrified open mouthed expression.
“Is she going to be okay?” Celestia asked.
“Apparently she’s already better and went to blow up a monster den with her companion the next day.” Luna answered with a shrug.
“She lost a leg and an eye, and the next day her companion drags her to a monster den?” Celestia asked a spark of anger appearing in her eyes.
“From what Shining has said it went well and they accomplished what they sent out to do.” Luna replied with another shrug.
“How can you say that so calmly Luna?!” Celestia asked, outraged by the unconcerned way her sister was describing events.
“Because while I was out looking for her I ran into a few places where she’d surely have died within a few minutes. Look Tia, she’s alive and she’s with someone who will be able to keep her alive. The bigger problem is that someone is blocking us from getting into or out of that place. In fact, it took me four hours to get into contact with Shining.” Luna told her sister with a worried frown.
“Dammit! Who could possibly be blocking us?” Celestia asked, her eyes narrowing.
“The better question sister, is why are they blocking us?” Luna said.
“I don’t know, but I’m going to find out.”

Shining Armor was awoken by one of the Brotherhood paladins shouting at the initiates that he was forced to bunk with.
“Drop your cocks and grab your socks you worthless idiots!”
Oh yeah it was going to be a great day…

“So we just reroute the electronic harmonizer.” Arcade said as his hands whisked over the object on the table.
“Then we fix the heat osculator.” Veronica added quickly screwing in an odd looking piece onto the object.
“Do you think we should worry about the phantom harmonizer?” Arcade asked turning to Veronica with a frown.
“Honestly, I’m more worried about the very evident over use of the conduction coils along the inner lining.” Arcade said as he tapped his chin in thought while looking at the mysterious item on the table.
“I know what you mean; it seems to need new springs on the intake system as well.” Veronica said with a thoughtful nod.
“Would you two hurry up and just fix it?” Rothchild asked from where he was standing behind them.
“Fine. Veronica, hand me the carbon fiber nanomesh.” Arcade told Veronica, who handed him it. Arcade took a few seconds to wrap the mesh inside the device. Veronica gingerly picked up the device, and reverently held it out to Rothchild. It was a small thing, almost insignificant, but to those who knew its true power it was the most powerful thing in the Wasteland.
“I hope you know the true value of this item.” Veronica whispered, her voice quiet and pinched with excitement.
“I look forward to using this in the morning, if that’s what you mean.” Rothchild said as he picked up the device with callous indifference, causing Veronica and Arcade to stare at him in shock.
“Be more careful!” Veronica said agitatedly.
“It’s a toaster.” Rothchild said simply before he strode out of the room.
“I’m starting to think we oversold it.” Arcade said with a frown, causing Veronica to chuckle.
“Serves him right for dragging us down here to fix a toaster.” Veronica said with a grin. “So, want to get breakfast?” She added.
“Sure, as long as it isn’t toast.”

“Drop your cocks and grab your socks you worthless idiots!” -- If I ever become a drill sergeant I'm totally going to use that line.
HAHA! THE TOASTER LIVES ONCE AGAIN! HE SHALL REDUCE THIS WORLD TO ASHES WITH NUCLEAR FIRE!! MWAHAHAHAHA!
Wait, wrong toaster...
Dat converstation.
And what exactly are you going to be using a flux capicitator for in a toaster?
1310424
I was using random science words... i have no idea what any of them mean
1310433
Flux capicitators are only useful when you hit eighty eight mph.
1310451
Oh so that's where i've heard it before
1310459
And thus is born the toaster time machine. Woke up late and don't have time to cook toast? Bam, send the toast back in time so you didn't have to make it. Goddess angry because you turned her prize student into a cyborg? Bam, send toast into the precise coordinates her throat will be.
Also, is Shining going to be training with the Brotherhood at all, or get his own armor?
Honestly, I am more worried about the blatant back to the future reference.
1310507
Read above, i honestly just put down random techno babble and for some reason flux capacitor just popped into my head. I haven't actually seen any of the back to the future movies...
I know i'm going to go to hell for that....
1310525 I fucking hate you now.
1310531
I just haven't had the time
1310543 WATCH THEM! OR FOREVER FACE MY WRATH!!!!!1!
Btw, do you read my stories? Cause if you don't you should (Seriously)
1310503>>1310531
Oh and i changed it to phantom harmonizer so that every comment won't be about it
1310553 Awwww.
1310561
Same.
And yet another thing, how does Luna know what a missile is?
1310576 She saw it.
make that toaster THE toaster
My God... a toaster!!
its... its so beautiful..
By the way you guys know that they were fucking with him right...
1310451 BACK TO THE FURTURE!!!!!!!!!!!... I think... GREAT SCOT!!!
1310576 Luna: Uhhhh...I plead the Fifth?
1310576>>1310956>>1310581
Remember guys she was trapped up on the moon for a thousand years, or at least her body was. Her mind was out exploring the multiverse seeing the sights and destracting her from the Nightmare
1310975 Wait, did you understand what I said? Most of the time people just look at me strangely.
1311051
yes i did, oh and i'm glad that Donut is alive again, good job Doc
1310459 Don't forget the Inertial Dampeners! We don't want that toast shooting out of there at Mach 5, now do we?
1311143
you're right we just couldn't have that, it would be tragic
1310451
Remember you also need 1.21 Gigawatts of electricity.
You haven't seen any of th' Back to the Future movies? For shame.
1311309
I know i'm terrible
oh and i'm surprised that no one has commented on Luna's endurance
1310503
Btw I forgot to answer your question.
Shining is rooming with the initiates because they didn’t have any other private; Ethan had to pay for his to be renovated.
1310507 - I was more interested in the 'Princess Bride' quote.
On that note, who the hell left Burke alive?!?
1311599
Ethan only broke his nose; he was still a little shaken up by killing the overseer and didn't really have the stomach for it at the time
1311637 All of my wut has been obtained. Ethan was the Lone Wanderer.
Err... Burke was the guy who was trying to set off the Megaton bomb. Are you thinking the one who ended up taking over the Vault?
1311714
Yeah I’m sure. Ethan was naïve enough back then to think that just breaking his nose was enough. It didn’t really help things that Ethan had just brutally murdered the Overseer like two hours beforehand so he was still shaken by it along with the fact that he never explained to the town what Burke was trying to do so they dragged Ethan off of Burke before he could kill him.
1311706
What?......
1311817
Ethan was the lone wanderer. Wait........ WTF>?!!?!?!31 I was thinking of BENNY!!! WTF IS THIS SHIT! I DON'T EVEN WHAT!?!?!?!!?!!?!?!
Wha-Wha-Wha-Wha-Wha-Wha-Wha-Wha-Wha-Wha-
1311837
Oh no Ethan isn't the lone wanderer. He's actually another courier who got sent back in time from an alternate dimension so that he could stop himself from blowing up the Divide. As it turns out he was actually sent to a different time line where he ended up being raised inside of a vault with a father who sounded suspiciously like Liam Neeson. Ethan then went onto marry his alternate dimension self-Cassandra, and here we are
I hope this cleared up any confusion on your part
1311880 Thank you good sir.
1311977
Anytime
1311981
To properly calibrate a harmonizer you need a blowtorch and a subharmonics analyzer, dildocrotch.
1311398 when you've experienced it yourself, there's not much to comment about.
Here's another line:
Drope your coat and touch your toes. I'm gonna show you where the wild goose goes.
Princess Bride reference for the win.
Has that Legate ever seen a certain movie?
A toaster? But according to Three-dog Ethan is the toaster repair-man.
1310553 Awwww, but I like flux capacitators more!
Also, about Luna's endurance... does it even require a comment? I mean, you made her the goddess of sex. I am more curious about the stallion.
Every second sentence is a reference...
And I'm loving it!
Favourites in this chapter: Toaster Repairpony and To The Pain
I am sad....
Either it is just me, or no one seemed to pick up on the Codex Alera cameo...
For those not in the know, The Codex Alera is a series of books set in a fantasy Roman-esque world following the life of one Tavi, or his full name, Octavius.
It starts with the Furies of Calderon for those interested.
It’s a toaster.
