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.

Silver: "It perhaps also just means that those who tried before us were not creative enough. I do not know what realm it came from was like, but in this realm, everything can and eventually must die. While here, it has to abide by laws of this universe. And no matter how thick its hide is, I have yet to meet creature whose insides are as hard as their outsides."

"I'm afraid tupor is not enough. This thing has killed, and it will kill again if given a chance in the future. Also I don't trust any political entity to keep it isolated and inert. We have enough explosives already to knock out a tank. We could use more to be sure, but I believe that will destroy the Kostroma."

Silver: "I could believe it. Hearing it speak through possessed ponies, it clearly lacks knowledge on basic laws of this universe. It has much knowledge about this world, but what knowledge it lacks is weakness we could exploit."

"Even eternal archons are still subject to the rot of the blackweave. I see your point though. I just cannot fathom a more reliable way to kill a creature that survived impact from the upper atmosphere."

"I cannot confidently say that it will stay dead after it is killed, I know from experience that some things refuse to stay buried, but so long as I rot its entire body into oblivion it should stay quiet for long enough to become someone else's problem."

"Entropy and decay are ironclad laws of this realm. Beachgoers from beyond the void are not always aware of the limitations of mortality and the forward arrow of time when they cross over to our world, and thus the majority of them perish, with their alien physiology not suitable this cruel existence. It is the only reason why they have not completely taken over this plane already."

"Indeed. It seemed uncertain what death even is. Intend to professionally give it a first hoof experience, as a welcome to this plane." she says
She puffs out her chest
"Death is my arcane thesis afterall."

"Let's meet the commissar before we leave. Leading him to the crashed airship is a dubious idea and we should keep him close around here."

We're going to the Commissar and the leviathan whale skeleton on the way, though. Since they're on the way, we'll lose no time going to them.
Also, we need to hear from Brie where he'd like to meet up with the party again after he's finished with the torpedo warhead.

"I strongly disagree. The airponies are our priority. They could be under attack as we speak, or enthralled by the Traveller. The fight with the Traveller is an act of charity; we should not delay our actual mission for it."

He already explained his idea: the party is going to pair it with a remote detonator and detonate it from inside the Traveler.
>>186941
Silver: "It is far better safe than sorry to have it. Besides, I thought you liked explosives."
>>186961
Silver: "It will still take us time to travel to airponies regardless. Best we tackle these objectives in most efficient way possible to cover as much ground in as little time as we can."

"I much more prefer to not spend whatever amount of time relegating myself from everything else going on. You're asking me to step out of gameplay, I'm saying give me a good reason," Brie replies, not even bothering to thinly veil the 4th wall break

Silver: "Gameplay? Anyways, look, it would be of tremendous help to us, especially if we end up having to use explosive charges we have before we face off against Traveler. If we need it, then good, if it turns out we do not, then you get to keep warhead for yourself."

"That seems a bridge we can cross after we tend to the marines and the airship," Brie is near growling

We would have to come back for Brie and the explosive regardless. The airship is the one confidential aspect of our mission and letting a Stalliongrad scientist near it is inadvisable.

How do you want to do this? Do you want me to explain why "no" in character or out? Cuz right now, Silver is nominating himself for idiot of the year, in Brie's mind.

Let me put this into perspective.
I get that you/Silver thinks that repurposing the torpedo is a good idea. Brie DOESNT.

Brie holds out his hooves in a shrug gesture, as though to indicate that there is no vompelling argument for him to fuck off from everything to playbwith this torpedo, under the assumption that if a compelling case WERR made he could ALWAYS go back, and assume that we're ready to go toward the maines

"My plan is to wait until we have a better idea what we're up against, as well as having addressed our primary mission objectives. You knob."

Brie shrugs, but wastes not a moment.
"Garv, flank out, shoot anything that moves. Silver, you're on Ms Kubana, she has marines to locate. Rosie? Uh... I trust you to do the magic thing. Dust... keep an eye on her, but conserve your energy; we're likely to gather more injured before this is over," he takes a moment to reload the 3 shots from earlier.
"Any questions?"

Fine, let's do it. Survival roll to watch out for enemies and to track the marines.

"Ill be the eyes in the sky. If I call out, its cuz surprise or stealth is no longer the priority."
If theres no further questions, Brie will resume his arial vantage, spot checking as he do
>>186968
Fug, I missed this
"It's risky either way. If we keep them with us, it's a liability. If we leave then somewhere, its also a liability. Can Pipette be trusted to keep an eye on zombie ponies on a leash?"

"That would be an unnecessary risk for her, whether the threat comes from the Fellow Traveler or the GRU," he insists.
Also Pipette is right there.

"Miss, I'm going to be perfectly honest with you. None of our survival is assured at this point, and as you are specifically qualified to testify, we are dealing with something that defies comprehension. We have these," Brie gestures "Collected thralls of this Traveler, unable to be left to their own devices, but also unable to be left unattended to. We will keep you safe to ourbdying breath (bluff check), can you hold the line for us?" Brie asks, holding up the end of the daisy chain rope.

Brie will attempt a little eye-play with Garv. What he will attempt to communicate through facial gesture and body language is that in that the Traveler likes dominating a geoup, it might behoove to have a group on hand to maybe distract it with.

Finally, Brie will take a long, deep breathe before turning to Silver.
"I really don't line the idea of spending any time on this thing, but you may be correct, and it may be the thing that gives us an edge. Fuck me," Brie paces nervously. You've never seen him do that. "Fine. I dont like it, but I'd rather have a hugeton explosive and not need it, than need a hugeton explosive and not have it," Brie says, returning command to Silver

Cavaliere narrows his eyes with a side glance.
He turns back to the mare. "Miss, you might be partly responsible for this situation, but that's not our concern at the moment. Even if it threatens our chances of getting off this island alive, we will do our best to keep you and the prisoners safe, because that is our duty."
The griffon gives the mare his derringer and ten rounds of ammunition. He discreetly points to her, points to his eyes, and points at Brie.

"Ive got a .38 I wont be using for a moment. No serials either!"
Staring at the torpedo, Brie has a moment of reflection. He thinks about where he ginds himself, the situation he's in what with the Traveler and all this madness. He thinks about these ponies and griffon he is cavorting with. So much of this seems off to him. But he banishes such thoughts from his mind, pulls off his mask so he can breathe better, closes his eyes, and takes a deep breath.
"Centipede," he mutters, before he starts going to town. His last interactive moment will be for him to not even bother to address anypony, but simply to call out: "I trust I dont need to emphasize how important it is that I'm not disturbed?"
