Cavaliere looks down from his vantage point in the turret.
"Survival gear, of iets dat gebruikt kan worden om van dit eiland af te komen, zou handig zijn. Is er een radio en heeft die stroom? Je mag alle wapens meenemen die je vindt."

I'm excited to see what's found.
How long will it take for Cavaliere to take the gun down? I would like him to read through the pilot's log if there's time.

Thanks for acknoweding my persence. I wouldnt have played well, the suddenness of Wanda triggered some unresolved psychological shit.

To proceed with the group with the Commissar, I need to write a dialogue between him and the Spetsnaz announcer. To proceed with Cavaliere, I need to write out a set of journal entries that tells a mini story of its own. And even for Sven, I need to not only write out Moonlit Meadow's reaction to her, but also three different little stories that are their own investigative trails. Each of those would require probably at least an hour of sitting down and writing it out, which is on its own difficult to do when you're borderline ADHD like I am (I was medicated for it for much of my adolescence). But more importantly, it requires making decisions and commitments that I just really don't feel up to.
Every session, or at least, several times a week, I will get posts directed at me either in thread or on discord that are just negative. Passive aggressive posts like >>188018 and the other one just a week ago, or one I got from Cavaliere this morning telling me I fucked up scheduling. And this is besides the outright aggressive posts towards me like on discord from you-can-guess-who, telling me I am "sucking Posey's cock" On Saturday night. And of course it hasn't even been a week since I have been told to go fuck myself. Basically I am guaranteed to get some kind of out of character negative remark hurled my way more often than I have sessions. Much of this is Brie, who wants to complain that I'm not giving him attention but still refuses to respond to my post telling him the skill check succeeded, but it is not limited to Brie. There are no small comments of praise anymore. This isn't fun for me anymore.
I've been extremely un-confident in a lot of my narrative decisions in a way that I can't really convey or make felt. I spent much of Friday night going back and forth over whether the encounter with the commissar should have him already in combat, or just approach and then he gets attacked, and that is the main reason nothing really happened until Saturday. And there's a thousand small decisions like this that weigh me down and make it difficult for me to proceed. I have had the idea for this quest since the September of 2022 and have wanted it to go as well as possible. But there's never any positive feedback, just "you screwed up scheduling" or "quit sucking Posey's cock" or "the trucks should be Canadian Military Patterns and not American." Would you want to sit down and devote at least an hour to something if that were the only "thanks" you get? And if I should just forget about the posts - if the narrative I'm trying to tell is so meaningless that I should just skip the logs or the dialogue or the little trails - then what is my purpose here?
I remember the spoiler quote "A+ story telling" when Amber was told the story of Flash Prance at Fort Prance four years ago; the "oh no" remark from Dark Star (out of character) when a rifle threatened to go off accidentally and blow everyone's cover in that first quest six years ago; the "nope" response that Amber had to a statue in a basement; the "spooky" remark from Posey after the micorburst in the swamp; or more recently the "that's creepy as shit. Fucking Posadists" from Posey after reading the dream journal of Light Water. These are what I work for, and I remember them long after the person who first said it has forgotten. But It isn't hard to see these are much rarer now than the bitching about scheduling or how I respond to a skill check or about loot or the combat encounters, or if a depicted plane is of an American or British airframe. And those remarks have as much staying power in my mind.
I get hate periodically - actually somewhat often - with my job, but the thing is, I'm paid to do that, and in any case I have to do that. I don't have to do this, and I certainly don't get paid for it. It's getting hard to find the motivation to do this...
Have you seen Dusk's Dawn, the fan animation? It's a full episode-length animation, and it's great to watch, if only because it's bad in a hilarious way. If you read the comments, you can see that it was made fun off mercilessly at the time of its release. And I know one thing for damn sure, the team never made a sequel. And I think that's a shame, even if entirely expected. No one would put time, effort, and especially their heart, into a project if they know they will receive only shit for it.

I know that feel. Writing content is hard. I DM'd last weekend and had to climb the same hill.
>on discord
I don't know what's going on on discord, so I can't comment.
>one I got from Cavaliere this morning telling me I fucked up scheduling
Scheduling is a group effort: we could all do better.
>And this is besides the outright aggressive posts towards me like on discord
That's really unacceptable, and you should not have to put up with that. You should at least block them.
>telling me I am "sucking Posey's cock" On Saturday night
Wtf? All we did was fight an ettin-thingy on Saturday. Nothing even remotely resembling that.
That sounds like baseless faggotry, not constructive criticism.
>you-can-guess-who
I think I can guess....
>I am guaranteed to get some kind of out of character negative remark hurled my way more often than I have sessions
Must be demoralizing.
>Much of this is Brie, who wants to complain that I'm not giving him attention but still refuses to respond to my post telling him the skill check succeeded, but it is not limited to Brie.
Ugh...
>There are no small comments of praise anymore.
I, for one, am having fun. This quest is cool. It keeps getting more complex whenever I feel like I've figured out where it is going.
>This isn't fun for me anymore.
Are you saying you want to stop?
I would be disappointed, but I wouldn't hold it to you. I have stopped Gaming games in the past because I just lost the will to keep doing them. No hard feelings or shame if you're just tired of it.
>I've been extremely un-confident in a lot of my narrative decisions in a way that I can't really convey or make felt
I've been there...
>These are what I work for, and I remember them long after the person who first said it has forgotten.
Oh, I didn't know you appreciated feedback that much. I can be more vocal in my enthusiasm.

On the one hand, the pot calling the kettle, on the other hand, okay,
But saying, I have gone to extreme lengths to show GM how much I appreciate his efforts and time, to an increasing degree, The idea that theres been no positive feedback is literally of the devil, because it is a lie

>you're sucking posey's cock
Oh, one time I said that, not repeated, but okay, let's have it out. Yes, you're more responsive to less effort posts, especially in a happenstance spray "All the inputs" manner, NGL, it gets results,
Yes, it pertains to the dopamine receptivity of anonboard rp posting.
Its a thing, become aware, and learn from. No one will hate or criticize you, its part of the process.

>And even for Sven, I need to not only write out Moonlit Meadow's reaction to her, but also three different little stories that are their own investigative trails.
Hope you start to feel better soon. <3
Don't feel like you have to do anything special for me scratch that, I don't want you to do anything special for me. No, big stories for for trails and not several ones either.
I don't believe in responsibility. If a tree falls on you, don't jump out the way. Take a breath and step aside and if you're too late, at least you were at peace both in life and death. ^^
Just keep her thinking that Vir is a crazy pone. Give her a location to seek out and she will do so. There's no need to overthink it with me. I know you want to do it good but this reminds me how DWK ruined his own fun in making pony videos. He cared so much about making it good that it became a burden for him and while I get that it's us players that causing you most(all?) of your stress, it's better to "not even try while trying" and give me that level of effort. I feel like you know me, I will literally role-play with a rock if you put one before. Imo, Fren.^^

>one I got from Cavaliere this morning telling me I fucked up scheduling
I'm sorry, GM Pony. I really wasn't intending on being negative or passive aggressive. What I wanted to convey was that it would be a nice courtesy to post if a game isn't happening one night, or alternatively to post when one is happening. I tend to be too direct rather than gentle in my approach.
>"the trucks should be Canadian Military Patterns and not American."
Had I known this remark would have a haunting effect I never would have said it. Being snarky and critical is second nature to me, as I grew up watching MST3K and Cinema Sins, and to me pointing out flaws in something helps to improve it down the line I also started in this thread making sardonic comments about the game and its players, and though that was very silly it never harmed anyone's willingness to continue. I also like the game's setting of Equestria at War and this manifests partly as wanting the game to be consistent with that setting in various ways. I'll refrain from doing anymore of that.
>But It isn't hard to see these are much rarer now than the bitching about scheduling or how I respond to a skill check or about loot or the combat encounters, or if a depicted plane is of an American or British airframe.
But I have enjoyed this quest and all its little details. It's why I keep notes so that even after it's over I can explore hints and plots that are left over. The atmosphere of this quest has also been incredible and you should be confident in it enough that you don't have to ponder, "how will this be received by the players?"

This post came off a bit commanding but it's not meant that way. You do you of course. I just want to relieve you of that pressure you feel. ^^ And my suggestion is based on personal experienced too. The way I get started doing things that are hard to do is by doing one metaphoric step in that direction. If I want to do the dishes, I only make myself turn on the tap.

>Fucking A right, Vir is pure
Indeed. ^^
Though, she immediately tried too preen the wings of a bat-pony upon seeing one without asking consent so, I guess, Brie & Lacey wouldn't be safe.^^

"Something we have in common," Brie offers casually, attempting to turn a meta OOC comment into an IC topic for banter,... its fine if you don't wanna, but I have lots of things for Brie to say to/with Garv, when you're ready. ^_~

Yes, playfully trolling GM and all with this. Shut up, its funny
Ostensibly and presumptively, Brie is preparing to fuck with something that could eviscerate his face. He is not going into this with his usual cavaliere attitute, with flippant quips to fire out. No no, this is a very serious matter that will require the utmost of care. In the meantime, he's happy to make all sorts of jibes and comments, never with any ACTUAL malice, just a general sense of "I'm bored, and fuck you, its funny".
Oh don't look at me like that, I haven't even started putting ornaments on Posey!
Oh don't look at me like that, I haven't even started putting ornaments on Posey!
Unbidden, but unable to refrain, Brie blurts out:
"This whole fucking thing stinks. Mind control? What the fuck?? I've dealt with mafiosos with their heads up their ponut, but this? I dunno mare,...."

Alright time to come back to this one.
GM, let me be the first to say "All hail". I came back to this fucking SITE because I wanted to play more. Yes yes, I'm a crass asshole, who flippantly likes crossing lines/boundaries. Yes, we can speak to "the issues" but I came back here expressly and intrinsically for the game. Having said, let me be the first on record to say "tell me what to do and I will do it".
Ngl, I'm NOT good at intuiting what do do without express explanation, but I AM good at doing what needs doing, when I know what that is.
I'm sorry I said the heinous things. I say heinous things. Maybe someday I can stop saying heinous things, idk.

And SINCE no one has responded yet, and SINCE I am that one nigger,...
Lacey is the sort that is quick to diffuse a situation if at all possible. Why? Because it generally leads to more profit, and she wants to have done everything to prevent having to kill everyone in the room. She's not opposed to it, it's just troublesome to have to literally clean up after. Wink.

Blackheel stands there, seven or so feet from the edge of the cliff, staring at Silver and making eye contact with his blood red eyes. Though his mouth gives no expression, and though his thick, fur-tufted legs stand solid and firm, a closer examination reveals signs of trembles - lesser, to be sure, than in the others, but present all the same.
But for all the bravado, his lips pull back even as they remain closed. He picks up the mouthpiece with an aura of red magic, places it near his mouth, holds down on the send-button with magic, and speaks:
"Это политический комиссар Блэкхил, отвечающий за надзор за международной миссией помощи в Костроме. Вы слышали наш призыв к ответчику?" - "This is political commissar Blackheel, in charge of overseeing an international aid mission on the Kostroma. Have you heard our distress call?"
There is silence for a moment, and a hint of static. But the static cuts out, and is replaced with a crisp, clear message from a male voice that slowly, enunciates every word. A listener may suspect that the speaker either is not a native speaker and knows the language only from classroom lectures, or perhaps that the speaker expects the listeners to not be native speakers. But the pronunciation is crisp and the accent correct.
"Ваш призыв был услышан. Режиссер приказал спецназу компании «Хладон» провести операцию «Буян». Весь костромской личный состав должен прибыть к месту высадки на северном берегу." - "Your call has been heard. The director ordered the special forces of the company "Halon" to carry out the operation "Buyan". All Kostroma personnel must arrive at the landing site on the northern shore."
"Вы можете прийти к нам?" - "Are you able to come to our position?"
"Согласно Буяну, компания Halon должна обеспечить безопасность всего острова. Сопротивление было встречено и решается. До тех пор весь костромской персонал должен прибыть на северный берег." - "Per Buyan, Halon Company is to secure the whole island. Resistance has been encountered and is being dealt with. Until then, all Kostroma personnel are to come to the north shore."
"Это комиссар Блэкхил. К кому мне обращаться?" - "This is Commissar Blackheel. To whom do I speak?"
"К простому частному. Я всего лишь посланник." - "To but a simple private. I am only a messenger."
"Я являюсь старшим комиссаром. Я прошу поговорить с комиссаром по поводу компании «Галон»." - "I am a ranking commissar. I request to speak with the commissar over Halon Company."
"Вы можете прийти и поговорить с ней лично. Связи по радио не будет." - "You may come speak to her in person. There will not be communication over the radio."
"Знаете ли вы об опасностях на этом острове?" - "Are you aware of the dangers on this island?"
"Режиссер предупреждает о мятеже, внешних влияниях и неизвестной враждебной силе, присутствующей на Mended Horn." - "The director has warned of a mutiny, outside influences, and an unknown hostile force present on Mended Horn."
"Я командую отрядом верных моряков, мы готовы помочь, но в основном не можем. - I command a detachment of loyal sailors, we are ready to help, but mostly we cannot."
"По распоряжению директора весь костромской персонал должен прибыть на Северный берег." - "By order of the director, all Kostroma personnel are to come to the North Shore."

Blackheel takes his magic off of the "send" button and lowers the mouthpiece
[Read more] But for all the bravado, his lips pull back even as they remain closed. He picks up the mouthpiece with an aura of red magic, places it near his mouth, holds down on the send-button with magic, and speaks:
"Это политический комиссар Блэкхил, отвечающий за надзор за международной миссией помощи в Костроме. Вы слышали наш призыв к ответчику?" - "This is political commissar Blackheel, in charge of overseeing an international aid mission on the Kostroma. Have you heard our distress call?"
There is silence for a moment, and a hint of static. But the static cuts out, and is replaced with a crisp, clear message from a male voice that slowly, enunciates every word. A listener may suspect that the speaker either is not a native speaker and knows the language only from classroom lectures, or perhaps that the speaker expects the listeners to not be native speakers. But the pronunciation is crisp and the accent correct.
"Ваш призыв был услышан. Режиссер приказал спецназу компании «Хладон» провести операцию «Буян». Весь костромской личный состав должен прибыть к месту высадки на северном берегу." - "Your call has been heard. The director ordered the special forces of the company "Halon" to carry out the operation "Buyan". All Kostroma personnel must arrive at the landing site on the northern shore."
"Вы можете прийти к нам?" - "Are you able to come to our position?"
"Согласно Буяну, компания Halon должна обеспечить безопасность всего острова. Сопротивление было встречено и решается. До тех пор весь костромской персонал должен прибыть на северный берег." - "Per Buyan, Halon Company is to secure the whole island. Resistance has been encountered and is being dealt with. Until then, all Kostroma personnel are to come to the north shore."
"Это комиссар Блэкхил. К кому мне обращаться?" - "This is Commissar Blackheel. To whom do I speak?"
"К простому частному. Я всего лишь посланник." - "To but a simple private. I am only a messenger."
"Я являюсь старшим комиссаром. Я прошу поговорить с комиссаром по поводу компании «Галон»." - "I am a ranking commissar. I request to speak with the commissar over Halon Company."
"Вы можете прийти и поговорить с ней лично. Связи по радио не будет." - "You may come speak to her in person. There will not be communication over the radio."
"Знаете ли вы об опасностях на этом острове?" - "Are you aware of the dangers on this island?"
"Режиссер предупреждает о мятеже, внешних влияниях и неизвестной враждебной силе, присутствующей на Mended Horn." - "The director has warned of a mutiny, outside influences, and an unknown hostile force present on Mended Horn."
"Я командую отрядом верных моряков, мы готовы помочь, но в основном не можем. - I command a detachment of loyal sailors, we are ready to help, but mostly we cannot."
"По распоряжению директора весь костромской персонал должен прибыть на Северный берег." - "By order of the director, all Kostroma personnel are to come to the North Shore."

Silver bows his head at the commissar, before looking back up at him with sadness. "They have their mission, and they have made it clear they will complete it, no matter cost. Those ponies and non ponies of Kostroma, those who are now playthings of this Traveler, they have no choice in matter whether they are to be anyone's enemy. But you all do have choice. You can follow their orders, head to North Beach, and hope they do not decide it is too much trouble to figure out if you all truly are loyal or not...or you can join us, help us take out Traveler, and try to save as many creatures as we possibly can as we escape this island. We have plan, we have means, and with your aid we will have numbers necessary to make our assault upon Kostroma just that much easier. I will not lie to you, it is difficult choice to be made. But it is necessary one. And it must be made."

Silver: "Core of it as it pertains to Traveler is this: our explosives expert is turning torpedo from crashed naval bomber into remote detonated improvised explosive device. Our resident blackweave specialist will use her magic to rot Traveler from inside out. It will not be near enough to kill it outright...but it will weaken it. We will then force explosive inside its body, likely though mouth but any orifice will suffice. Its hide has proven resistant to damage, but its internals should not be, and combined with rotting magic and it being in dimension where death is unavoidable certainty it should be enough to make it vulnerable to conventional damage if not kill it outright. For dealing with any summoned monsters, we are also repurposing bomber's MG from its turret. While its high rate of fire means it will be unusable from standing position, from prone position it should be enough to turn any monster Traveler could summon to shreds. Once all that is done comes our plan of escape, where we send out message using magic across island to newly freed Kostroma crewmembers to return to ship ASAP. If needed, we can send rescue party to give aid to this objective. We will then simply use rising tide to unbeach ship and sail away to safety with as many creatures as possible. We are working on summoning ally to help with transporting explosive and MG from plane, but I am also hoping we can use this ally to disable GRU ship to prevent them from pursuing us as we make our escape."

Sometimes unable to restrain himself, Brie is simply trying to occupy his mind. Very grateful for his mask, he's never felt so off-put before. For one, there's this traveler and all this mind control nonsense, which does NOT sit well with him, as a pony who very much values his autonomy. Then there's the fact that WHERE'S THE FUCKING MILITARY?? Oh, yes, there's that one group, but they're obviously not here to mend sails. All the while, all we have is a rag-tag band of misfits,....

"The director of the GRU knows only a few things about what is going on here. That there was some degree of treachery among the science team and crew on the Kostroma. That there is an "unknown hostile outside influence" active on the island and the Kostroma. That they do not, in fact, know what in Tartarus is going on, and that it is all contained on the island so far.
I know it is easy for us standing here to dismiss the thought, but they don't know, for example, that our mind-controlled comrades are not infected with a communicable mind virus, be it something physical like a brain parasite, or something more immaterial. They do not know that we who seem normal are not in fact, secretly infected, or are traitors working for some hostile foreign government. If we are being honest, even we do not know that.
Even something as mundane as sailors having been exposed to a Potemkin village version of Skyfall, and getting an inaccurate impression of life under Capitalism, can have an insidious influence if such ideas are allowed to spread.
These are what they must consider. Security of the mainland is likely taking priority over... over the wellbeing of a few potentially treacherous, likely infected... ponies."

Silver: "Knowing GRU, they likely know more than they are letting on. Enough to know, not enough to understand. But regardless, to condemn all of Kostroma crew to same fate, even for sake of security, it is sacrificing that bit of equinity which separates us from common animals. Caring for each other, wanting to see whole herd succeed, that is just one of many things that make us special, and to throw that all away for anything, especially safety..." Silver breathes in, and lets out a sigh. "Those few 'potentially treacherous, likely infected' ponies and creatures...you made pledge to them just as they did to you. That you would have their back, support them just as they support you, and that you would trust each other through thick and thin because that is how cohesive unit operates. They need you now, more than ever, as they can not speak for themselves as to their guilt or innocence. GRU believes what they are doing is securing mainland, but we know there is better way that will secure mainland and save these lives that depend on you. And they certainly will not see to that better way. They will stick to their flawed plan, no matter cost."

"It is probable that they are this stage have no intention of letting anyone leave this island alive, let alone get back to the mainland."
She gives a wistful sigh
"It feels like home. The military back in Farbrook used to blow up bridges and shell ships to contain wight, shadow and specter outbreaks after contact with the undead legions, even at the cost of loyal fighters. It was rather wasteful." she says, faking a pained expression

Unsure if he's even within audible range of this conversation - though he is a bat who isn't wearing earplugs atm, so he does have a bit of an advantage - Brie would think "affect is a better term than fake" while analyzing the torpedo he will eventually hopefully not die in a fire because of. It's military hardware, designed to be triggered in a specific way, so his first task would be to disable the activation-function, after which he can work to extract the explosives, then finally to rig a detonation switch or trigger of some kind when the device is squarely in the Traveler's posterior, much like /mlp/ just did with the 4chan cup.

"While not knowing the first thing about anything "eldritch" - first time I'm hearing the word - I happen to exist in the mind of someone who does. From what I am able to gather, it's likely not an issue of KILLING this "our fellow" (laughable) Traveler, it will likely come down to rupturing whatever method it is using to tether its self to this plane of existence; such things do not by nature exist in this sort of cartoon pony (with guns) world, and whatever means it is using to be 'present' is more than likely our target," he says, again turning to the torpedo that he's VERY keen to get started on, and NOT trying to jump on anyone's nerves by indicating, he's just that excited

"I speak to this specifically, as I happen to know one. Or at least, her family has all the traditional hoobedy-bla that one might expect.

"Sorry, I tend to digress, but the point of this spiel was to emphasize that in spite of my superscilious manner, I am taking this matter as seriously as I am able." You can't tell because of the mask, but he accentuates the last bit with a warm smile.

"The whole concept of fate is a difficult concept for a bat of my experience. Not to suggest that my experience is in any way exhausting, simply to indicate that I have a particular set. In contrast to that experience, the idea of fate has different connotations. In one sense, one assumes that their every experience is in preparation for something meaningful; an idea I'm partial to. On the flipside, there's the suggestion that one's every experience is in preparation for something irrelevant, unmeaningful, and dismissible. There's a concept in chess, though the name escapes me. It is where one player perceives that they have inevitably lost the match no matter what move they chose, and must either concede or decide how irritating they wish to be to their better. Sugs? Zugs? Something about a wang? Oh that's right! Zugsvang! Oh, you may hear some say Zugs"wang", but come on now, its a changeling word, you're supposed to pronounce the w's as v's. Anyway. If Fate can be said to exist, then we are all irrevocably where we need to be, for whatever reason that such a force can determine, because it's beyond me. Having said, I MUCH prefer to focus on what I CAN control. That can include my mouth if you're tiring of it."

The orange stallion, whose long, wavy red and yellow mane sticks out from under the foil hat, moves closer, and for the first time, he speaks in a language other than Severyanan.
"We know the entity, this 'Chernobog' as the superstitious call it, the 'seraph' as the villagers called it, or, as Lightwater, and now you say, this 'Traveller'... we know it was unconscious before, when it fell from the sky and was first found. But also when we found it, it was dormant. It can be put back. But it can wake up as well."
Blackheel raises an eyebrow
"Ally?"

"Not directly, not enough."

Blackheel looks over to the black griffin, taking a moment to reply:
"The GRU named their operation "Buyan." If you do not know the meaning of that phrase, it is an island of the old legends. An island that exists outside of space and time, slipping into our reality on nights of special importance, appearing out of the mists ad disappearing just as quickly It is where the great lich is said to keep the urn containing his soul, or where the old princess came from. They must have had a sense of humor in giving the operation that name. Me, I will be just fine to leave this island and never come back."
>>188266
Blackheel:
"I would question how well you know the GRU" He looks down, then back up
"But yes... even the controlled sailors need our help. I think the GRU does know more about what is going on. Because I certainly do not."

"Then the GRU are well aware of how dangerous this entity is. Often what is dangerous also holds great value–manticore stingers, for instance. Like the Buyan of folklore, getting bringing home the entity from this island is a tantalizing prospect for them. It might well know this and subtly discourage any inclination for them to destroy it on its part. We have to be the ones to act before it is too late."

Orange Stallion:
"It's... I don't know. I have never seen it move. The last I saw it was yesterday morning. It was still laying there, covered by its tarp like a body in a morgue. After that it was too dangerous to go near it, with the influence it had over the other crew members. It does not seem to have moved from where it landed in that forest. Not that we could tell, anyways. What I mean is that it wasn't - it wasn't making things with its mind. It wasn't summoning things, or making them out of air. That came later. I do not know how powerful it becomes, or can become."
>>188310
Blackheel:
"From what I've seen, it likes to make bargains more than to fight. Until you piss it off. I think the GRU knows they must kill it. Kill it and dissect it. Take its body parts. What we should have done or would have done if we could have. I still think it failed mostly for want of effort."

Silver lets out a concerned "hmmm" before resuming. "Posey here had theory, that his current form is not his final form, perhaps that this form is necessity for surviving in dimension that is hostile to him and that, if threatened, he may transform into something more dangerous and active, but also more vulnerable."

Silver looks over at Pipette. "Ah, it was you that briefing mentioned. We pulled some notes off of one of possessed ponies we captured that talked about that. We will see how resistant its insides are to damage, at least."
Looking back at Black Heel, Silver finally replies to him. "We are moving to whaling station, where Posey will use scroll of hers on leviathan whale skeleton we found to summon ally to help us, then we are going to gather anyone else left on island not possessed who will help us in killing Traveler. I would ask you to join us in this aim, as your help and leadership would be invaluable. We have no intention of joining Light Water, and I do not believe GRU is here to kill Traveler, only subdue him to bring him back alive."

"Yes, but what in Tartarus is the phrase 'summon an ally' supposed to mean? I understand that you are saying words, but I do not know what you mean by them. The last allies I tried to summon are very possibly here to kill us. The ones before that betrayed us to some kind of outer-worldly thing."
>>188317
"No. As I said, killing it and dissecting it has never been properly tried."

Silver: "Posey knows more specifics about that than I do. But I assure you, we are not GRU and we are not Light Water; we are just regular, decent creatures, here because we must be, because no other creatures can do this, and because if we do not, millions will suffer for it."

Blackheel sighs
"While I don't know exactly what you mean by that, I know enough to know that you're referring to some kind of atavistic practice akin to religion or fetishism where you hope to make some kind of pact with some kind of untamed something in the hopes that it will damage your enemy more than it will damage you. No. I am currently living out the results of the last magical entity that someone decided to bargain with. And I know more generally, where this train of logic leads. The socialists of Aquelia finding themselves betrayed by the Republicans. The Communist Party of New Mareland siding with the Nationalists in a war to "contain the fascism of Wingbardy," just to find themselves subsumed. Besides so many pacts with so many 'gods' and princesses that found their followers become slaves at best, if not livestock to those they trusted. No. I have had enough of mercenary allies. If I must die to violence, I will die facing my enemy, not stabbed in the back."

"I should hope we have no need for such 'pacts.' Modern weaponry has not been tested against something like this, but it's the best we have. As for your case, we just need to curb this threat and get off the island."
>>188319
I should question how Silver learned of Posey's real name and why he would be telling it to a foreigner. I've been avoiding mentioning the other party members by name for a reason, and we probably should have come up with aliases beforehand.

Silver: "I would assume if it were some sort of pact, Posey would be wise enough to know it is bad idea. No, I do not think it is what she has planned, though I know not for certain what it is. We are not here to betray anyone, or make anyone into slaves or livestock. None of us have any loyalty to one state or system or another. Or, at least, none of us do anymore." Silver's voice rings with sadness and loss for a moment as he says this, before he resumes. "This goes well beyond states and nations. Traveler must be stopped, and whatever secrets allow him to control ponies so thoroughly must not be allowed to fall into anyone's hooves. Not Stalliongrad's, certainly not New Mareland's, not even Equestria's if it still existed. And if you do not care for your own life, then think at least for those who are following you, and those who are possessed and need help now more than ever. Or of all of those across world who will be affected if we fail to do this. And if even this is not enough, if not for yourself, for your duty to your soldiers, for saving millions of innocent lives...then I am afraid I do not believe you."

We all introduced ourselves at the mission briefing. Besides, how many mares do you think there are in the world with the name "Posey"? I imagine it would be a very common name for ponies.

Brie's head pokes out sideways from inside the machinery
"Sorry to interject, but I quite tend to agree. I'm still of the mindset that the GRU are about to join in the fun of unwanted thralldom, but even if they avoid that fate it sounds like bullets will have a similar effect to scalpel."
