Hmm...how much time?
Kira, with Pipette in her grasp, gives the mare some headpats, hoping it will calm her down.

This is why Cavaliere was hesitant about grabbing the gun. He simply cannot carry that much weight. Does anypony volunteer to carry either the gun or the ammunition, and does anypony object to waiting for the gun to be dismounted?
"Miss Pipette, none of us intend to hurt you. Lack of sleep has made you jumpy, but please get a hold of yourself. We need your help," he says gently.

Let’s say that the warhead of the torpedo has 255 pounds of Amatol explosive

Brie has zero interest in the torpedo. I envisioned something smaller, like standard missile size, except for air-water

"I could probably extract the explosives, but I would need to stay behind. But even then, I couldnt possibly carry it with my girlish fogure, so I'd be unable to even move it effectively."

Hey, psst. This is a good place to mention exactly that you're planning on raising a flying whale skeleton. It will make transporting the explosive a breeze.

No, I mean it would be a huge help to smooth over Brie's IC concerns about the plan if Posey explained (again, in character) in a bit more detail about the scroll. She's explained she would need the leviathan whale skeleton, but not what she would need it for or what it would do.
>inb4 "Posey wouldn't so willingly divulge this kind of information"
The party is in a life or death situation against a god with the ability to summon monsters seemingly without limit and control an unknown number of creatures at any given time. For Posey it's especially a case of life or death because she has 0 Constitution, so if she goes down that's it, no bleedout period or anything like that where the rest of the party can save her. Information isn't at a premium here, we need to communicate with each other if we wish to survive and succeed.

"I'm certainly not going to be able to.convince the science mare, even when bartering or engaged in diplomacy, there's an aire of intimidation to it. Still, she does seem to require some degree of convincing, and since I'm quite certain thar several.of you will be very cross if I try to force her at gunpoint. So! I'm going to whipnup a fresh batch of tea, and maybe we can get her a bit more settled hmm?"
Brie first reloads his revolver from the 3 potshots, before making a full pot of tea.

Kira: "Is there an aire of intimidation to headpats," the noodle asks, as she continues to give the scared science mare comforting headpats. "I like giving pets and headpats to friend-shaped creatures."

"The 'headpats' (an innuendo?) I give that are not implicity intimidating are unfortunatrly not the sort onr engages in and speaks of," he says with a wink."But in Ms. Pipette's case, I think releasing her is the best first step." Brie tilts head and rocks it around, as if to imply:
"Where is she going to run to?"

Brie does for a moment contemplate giving 'special headpats'to the science mare, but is pretty sure that would not be approved.

I don’t believe Kira ever actually ran Pipette down, lunged at her, and constricted her. I mean… caught up to her, whumped, and hugged her.
>>187538
Did Pipette run? Cuz Kira's hunter insticts would have kicked in.
Can we pretend that the ladt few hours of dialogue isnt wasted on a tiny bit of oversight? :3

Yes.
Running from a massive predator whose normal prey is medium sized ungulates, like ponies, may have been a mistake.

>it would be a huge help to smooth over Brie's IC concerns about the plan
I missed the part where that's my problem.
>She's explained she would need the leviathan whale skeleton, but not what she would need it for or what it would do.
The nature of the magic in the scroll is purview to her master's practices: it is as much of a military secret as the sensitive systems that Captain Waters is having us destroy. Adhering to the privacy of her masters is part of her code of conduct, which is why she cannot reveal it to outsiders so easily, even at the expense of her own safety. Until her apprenticeship/enslavement is over (level requirement), death is preferable to slighting the masters.
>if we wish to survive and succeed
You say that, but Posey also have my secrets to keep.
She did request to break off and perform the magic in privacy. I guess it wouldn't hurt to witness the results of the spell if you didn't witness its casting.
I'll consider it. Let's talk about it again after we find the Marines and Commissar.

"Stop chasing her. This is counterproductive."

As Brie approaches, Kira first, he pauses. "Ms. Kubana, our guest will need to be able to move to be able to sip her tea. If she runs, she won't get far," And Brie deli erately makes eye contact with Pipette, "but for now let's just take a moment." His head tilts as a thought occurrs. But he finishes his motion, holding out a small cup of calming tea to the frightened science mare.

Pipette is less grappled and being offered tea by a crazy bat in a camo murdersuit that yes, has blood on it.
"Go on Miss, youve been through alot. It isnt poison, and we're not here to hurt you. I brought biscuits as well.:

Sure, we’ll assume that Kira, despite never rolling for it an only stating the action as kind of post hoc fait accompli, has grappled and coiled Pipette after she tripped.
When Kira loosens her grip, Pipette jumps out of Kira’s coils. She fails to clear Kira’s body and trips over it, falling on her belly with an “yumph!” squeal, eyes closed forelegs spread in a y shape forward, and chin against the ground. Her tin-hat slumps down, though the horn stops it from covering her eyes, and she looks upwards towards whomever approaches, presumably Brie

Silver: "We have time at moment because of distraction to be able to go to Commissar, whale skeleton, and airponies without worrying about GRU or Traveler. I highly doubt, however, that distraction will hold long enough for us to backtrack all way across island multiple times to go to airponies, come back for skeleton, come back for torpedo, then go to Kostroma. Whatever secrets your masters have bid you to hold, they would surely understand that needs and circumstances of current moment outweigh need for secrecy. I also doubt any of our original party members will divulge any secrets we discover."
>>187551
Did you want a roll for it? I didn't know if you did or not.

"If you would be so kind as to lead of to this commissar you spoke of, that would be very much appreciated." she says

Without waiting for a response, Brie simply shrugs and starts laying out teacups and biscuits. First to Pipette, then Kira, Silver, Dust (hes the lankier), and finally Garv. Somehow, Brie intuits that Rosey would decline tea and biscuits. All the same, he only has a dozen and with those six he can only offer 2 per pony without breaking them.
"Ms. Pipette, please be at ease. In spite of our colorful and outlandish nature and appearance, we are here to be of service to you. And not just to you, but the good locals of stalliongrad, and whoever else has been caught up in this messy little scenario," he's quite upbeat at this point, wriggling his nose and shaking his head a bit at 'messy little scenario'. "Its quite absurd, and not what the lot of us were expecing when we took this mission. You're a mare of science, I assumed you would benefit from a more detailed and HONEST level of disclosure," he smiles, finally bringing his own tea to his lips. "The tea it's self.is wonderful, but consider dipping the biscuits in for a moment, not too long or they'll crumble. Anyhow, where I was going with that is to say that we are a privately contracted, paramilitary group tasked with recovering Equestrian personnel and either sabotaging or running off with military vehicles.
However, as you are no doubt aware," he gestures to the bags under her eyes, "There is more going on here than a simple territory dispute between rival militaries." His voice grows deeper and more deliberate. "Something foul is going on here, and it is not implausible to say that the few here, offering you tea,... may be the kast kine of defense that Equestria has." His voice jumps back up in pitch. "Life is so erratic and unpredictable isn't it?
So, while appreciate what given the circumstance a slight disinclination to trust us, it would behoove our survival if you would help aid us in locating the commissar."

Pipette lies collapsed on the ground on her belly. Her hind legs are propped up against Kira’s body, slightly raising her hindquarters, even as her chin presses against the grass. Her wine-red eyes look up at the creatures around her. She moves her hooves closer to herself and tries to push herself upwards. She manages to pull herself off of Kira, and is only just able to stand up, still trembling and dirt on her white coat jacket.
She looks over to the biscuits (I’m unsure if the biscuits are actual biscuits or if these are cookies), and sniffs one. Then she uses her magic to take it, and starts eating it. She eats it rather quickly and not exactly in the manner befitting what is presumably a professional. She takes the tea with an aura of red purple magic, sips it, then drinks it quickly, with the only limit being an aversion to having her mouth burned by hot liquid.

Cavaliere takes a cup of tea, but stares at Brie as he gives away information that is not his to give.
Or maybe I should retcon this, as if we're taking the machine guns he will be taking precious time to dismount them?

Pipette speaks:
“I can take you to him.”
Tentatively, I don’t think a character can both try to take a machine gun or disassemble the torpedo, and go to find the commissar, unless some other measure is taken.

Agreed, and without the aid of a sufficient load-besring device, it simply isnt feasible. If only it were someone else's problem. But anyway, since Pipette is gratefully obliging "Splendid. You'll be in fine care. Lead from the middle, let us protect you.:

Then let us nix the machine gun retrieval. Unless if we seriously split the party, losing time in the process, Cavaliere cannot have it moved which makes the whole effort worthless. If Brie is going to stay behind and work on the torpedo, the party will have to come back for them anyway which would make the machine gun worth it. It's dependent on Brie's decision.

Oh how Ive waited,....
But now would be a good time for Rosey to maybe say something vague like "If I can come up with a load-bearing,... device, can these weapons be utilized?"
