In the far-off, northern island of Mended Horn, the party there has learned that they face an enemy they have dubbed "The Traveller." They have decided to go to an old, abandoned village there in hopes of rescuing some communist sailors.

In Baltimare, Dark Star tries to get things in order, while Virgin Flame looks for her old friend.

Two radios turn on and broadcast the same message. This is the radio in Paltry Presses’ hoof, but also the radio in Silver Sword’s possession. They broadcast the same, simultaneous message in a firm, masculine voice:

“Внимание — всем коротковолновым каналам: этот остров теперь находится под командованием Агентства военной разведки.”

Всему личному составу Костромы приказано немедленно явиться в Северную бухту для допроса.”


“Attention - All Shortwave Channels: This island is now under the command of the Defense Intelligence Agency.

All Kostroma personnel are ordered to immediately report to the North Bay for questioning.“

In the most severe cases, mind controlled ponies have been mustering or incoherent, and even in the better cases, like these two surviving sailors, there is trembling in their voices, as if they are suffering from the early stages of exposure. The voice on the radio does not sound like that. It sounds like a normal pony speaking in a commanding tone, or even making a threat.

This seems like the kind of thing that Cavaliere should know and Posey shouldn’t, but Garv rolled low and Posey didn’t… I don’t know. Anyways.

The Military Intelligence Agency of Stalliongrad is separate from their internal security division and does not run internal security. What they do operate is special forces units within the military.

All we need to do is figure out what the Kostroma survivors and the griffons should do, and we should be good to proceed. Depending on how long it takes to clear the Kostroma, the commie glowies might reach the village before we can return. This makes me not want to leave the griffons here, but it also wouldn't be safe for them on the Kostroma.

Sorry. Follow up, Brie thinks killing the Traveler is the best method to ensure the greatest survivor count. Assassination-style, cut the head off and release the thralls.

>I'm just saying that if this pony did not want to have her wings rubbed, or even be surprise cuddled, she did a very poor job at protecting herself.
Agreed. She is practically bending over and presenting. Ask any lawyer and they would say that she's given consent.

Judge Judy would rule in my favor. "So you did leave you wing unguarded as a cute bap?" "Yes, ma'am."

Vir sees that the bap is agitated and remembers how much Pew Seat loved having her wings preened. She tilts her head. It doesn't look all that different. She bends down and take a bite on the wing. Hoping, her touch can ease any suffering. ^^

"For any other military, I would believe that special forces would be capable enough to not be so easily dominated by such entities... but this day and age you really cannot be sure at all. Militaries have begun to value capital over individual competence."
She looks towards the ship
"That would mean that we have no choice but to solve the problem ourselves before they try to... For free..."
She puts her chin up
"Very well then. My masters always told me that the heat of battle and extreme danger are the keys to expanding one's powers. I wonder how much my own powers will grow after this."

If it isnt into combat, Brie is ready to advance ON the ship, closer, from which to strategize. If necessary to specify, maintaining a 5' equal distance from Kubana and the formost of the following members at another 5', so the lead members would be within a 5' step full attack from anyone who attacked another.

Kira has a thought: "Hey...so, I know this is probably a bad idea, but...I feel like I should split off from the group to find those missing ponies. I can track them and keep them from being found by the others, and I can even make sure that all of our mission objectives are completed while you guys fight the Traveler. I'm not a very good warrior...but I am pretty good at tracking."

I have 3 comments, the first 2 ooc:
1. I agree with Posey, splitting the party is generally a bad idea, for a variety of reasons I'll be happy to elaborate on
2. Why not? I would assume you have somrthing in mind with GM, and having Kira separate from the group would enable the accomplishment of mission objectives in a more timely manner. I can envision a number of scenarios WITHOUT knowing what GM has planned, so if he's okay with it, I am.
3.
"I'm inclined to agree with Miss Ring. It is one thing when you have a group supporting you, but in isolation you could get overwhelmed very quickly. Or worse, yiu could end up coming back to fight us under control of something worse. We've only just met, but if you want my advice, it's to stick together."

"But they are the enemy, right? Do we care if this uh, the Traveller is good at fighting them? Wouldn't it be a good thing if they fought each other instead of us?"

"Why should we do anything at all for free?I thought we here because we told someone we'd retrieve a few ponies in particular from a blimp? Power doesn't mean much if you're both dead and broke.
