The ability to simply not get bored is an incredibly valuable one.
I still wonder if I counted wrong, so far I though there were only 3 mares. Yet there are clearly four mares, would he get a fourth one later on?
10487341
Yes.
interesting so far. nice work
God it would be funny if this just abruptly changed gears. Just go straight from 8 hours of boredom to JET ENGINE WIND TUNNEL or something like that
You go pony trooper! Woo!
10487341
There already are 4.
10487968
Oh, so I imagine the fourth one is the mare in full golden armor then. Je wonder what would her story be
10487982
I believe the one in full armour is Artemis Sparkshower what with her description of "pegasus mare with a cream-colored coat and a brilliant-blonde mane".
Continuing from right to left, the thestral is Lieutenant Temper Violetta, the earth pony is Corporal Honour Bound, and the unicorn is Specialist Glamerspear.
10487995
I see, the last one…is she wearing glasses?
10488004
My guess is she made her magic shield into sunglasses? She does have a green shield.
10488013
True, and hey there is the tag for adventure so chances are that we will see her in action at some point
10487341
Yes, “Sgt.” Purity Ebonsheild rounds out the group later on. She drags in a big tangle of plot threads too! Don’t want to be all spoilery here but that fourth pony is NOT Lt. Violetta.

Lt. Temper Violetta is a secondary character who shows up repeatedly during the story but isn't represented in the cover image as she's not one of the Royal Engineer's bodyguards -- she's a desk officer who manages soldiers across several VIP assignments, including his.
As 10488103 revealed, the batpony character arrives a little later in the story, after the Battle of Newstirrup Bridge. Note that I don't refer to them as thestrals in the tale; they have a different backstory and culture from the general "batpony fanon".

Neuro has depicted Spc. Sparkshower in the cover art with large eyes. Partially I think it's his art style, and partially I think it's also because she develops a reputation in the story for being extremely observant.
I hesitate to link this here but there is a FAQ and character list for the story. Be warned that it has spoilers since I keep it up to date with the original greentext which is far in advance of the version here on FIMFiction: https://pastebin.com/QH8Mwutm
I'll be honest. I tried to read this years ago but I just couldn't. The way you handled head hopping in your green was atrocious. Here's to hoping it's better in fimfic format.
10488229
I hope my approach to perspective switching is to your liking.
Very interesting. Looking forward to more!
10488238
I hope it will too. You haven't rewritten enough of it for me to tell yet. Things didn't get bad until a little later.
10486227
Ah, the E4 Mafia.
A boring day is a good day. Because when things get interessting, someone get hurt or property get destroyed...
Every little thing helps.
10493061
Very true. And-in Anon's line of work-one thing done wrong while working with experimental science and technology could lead to some unfortunate conclusions.
10488782
Luna help them all
New to the story, but I love Artemis already. Anon also seems pretty nice :)
10561361
I agree she seems nice. And yeah I am glad we ain't dealing with a anonymous with a aditude like most stories i have seen.
Ah? What is that? I swear I can hear something. It's just on the edge of my senses, but growing.
Ah! I know what it is! I do believe that's the sound of Murphy cackling madly as he dashes for that poor mare.
10690296
Oh, I thought that was Fate cracking her knuckles to throw a wrench at her head.
She must not get enough attention if a simple thank you for spotting a book is enough to make her swell with pride.
Poor thing.
10693858
Personally I hear the clatter of metal as chekov carefully leaves guns lying around, slow and methodical.
Huh..... ya know I actually really like how you make Anon in this. Nearly every Anon story ive read so far has him being a cursing like a sailor prick, a complete and utter pervert, or straight up just dumb as a box of rocks. But this, he actually seems like a decent guy, and the way he speaks is highly respectful. It's honestly refreshing and I am excited to read more.
11018213
I'm glad you like it!
For some strange reason my dumb ass thought The Long And Short Of It was a sequel to this still incomplete fic.
I'm a sucker for a good HiE. I already ship this anon with Artemis. Should I? I don’t want to be disappointed if they don't get together down the line. The missing romance tag is rather noticeable.
*checks word count*
500k...
Well, shit..
Who needs sleep, anyway...

Playing Tetris in once head or counting numbers help.
10528897
Like a maimed or dead someone
10535505
In you're dreams...
10561361
It's always the quite once... My Fluttershy is truly something to be terrified
Wonder what Anon is hiding
10653410
There is still time for him to become on of them
10690296
That make ne chuckel like a classic dark villain. Nice one
10693858
Is that a actual saying?
10723783
New to the job. I mean 1 year and 6 months? That not that long...
10921238
At some point one has to trigger by accident
11018230
What his dark secret? ... ... Hes actually a named Anon isn't he?
"in the right corner was the dining area with a table for six and a china cabinet. "
It seems China really DOES ship everywhere!
A fine start of a fine story, until it becomes pretty mutch awesome later on 👍
