When we last left off, we were just finished up with Case

>You nod, turning around.
"Yes, time to get to work, Cargo is first."
>You all head to the bridge, finding the most of the rest of the crew there, Fixer not being present
>Hunter is sitting in Angel's lap, feeding off of him with a smile as you all take your seats.
>"By the way Vex," Chaos says, "The price for a box of small placed charges is 2000 credits. Don't know if we want to make home made explosives, but that was the best price i could get."
"Thanks Chaos, i'll think about it."
>Hunter stops feeding and hugs Angel, beaming as he hops down.
>"Guess what? Hunter learned a new word."
>"Feed!" Hunter says, smiling up at you.

>>25711867
Good job Hunter. Told you there'd be no stopping him once he got started.

>>25711867
"Good job Hunter!"
>You sit in your chair and lift Hunter up, looking over to Angel.
"Told you that there would be no stopping him once he starts."
>"I know, i can't wait untill he can talk fully, soon i can understand what he is saying."
>"And then he can learn how to read and write, i have a feeling he will get a very good grasp on education and be very agressive with it." Charon says.
"Delivery first Angel."
>"Right away."
>As Angel turns around, you look at Charon.
"What makes you think he will be an aggressive learner?"
>"His drive. He must have given himself a goal to learn how to say "Feed", we could use that to out advantage, If we can make it fun enough or give him a goal that is."
>A green glow brings your attention to Hunter, the little changeling using his magic.
>His hoof transforms into pony's hoof with a grey colour, Hunter shifting and examining it.

>>25712170
Hmm. What do you think Hunter, have you been having fun learning new things with Daddy and Mommy?

>>25712170
>You smile at Hunter, putting a hoof around him.
"Well, what do you think Hunter? Are you having fun learning with mommy and daddy?"
>Hunter smiles and nods at you.
>'Yes! It's really fun to learn the things i can do, and learn how to say things. it makes the you, daddy, and the others really happy. Even if it does hurt.'
>Hunter rubs his muzzle, wincing.
>"Tooth ache?" Charon asks.
"No, had a little flying accident yesterday, but no real damage done."
>You look over Hunter's muzzle, seeing a very faint bruise.
"Looks like he did get a small bruise though."
>"I bet it is worth it though, right Hunter? now that you can fly a little?" Chaos asks.
>Hunter nods happily, Cobalt turning and smiling.
>"Now we can all fly together!"

>>25712659
We can even race each other.

>>25711865
Ayyy lmao.

>>25712659
Remember, the more you learn and better you get, the better things we can teach you.

>>25712659
"We can even race each other."
>You give Hunter a nuzzle, getting him to chitter softly.
"Remember, the more you learn and better you get, the more we can teach you."
>Hunter nods, smiling as he hugs you.
>'Can we practice more soon?'
"Of corse we can."
>The journey goes on and you make the delivery, reciving the credits for the job,
>Angel and the others return to the bridge when they finish, Angel smiling at you.
>"So, where to now Vex?"

>>25713145
Time to go do the pirate job.

>>25713145
Let's hunt those pirates now that we're at full strength.

>>25713145
>You give Angel a data pad, showing him the location that the tracking device is giving.
"We have some pirates that we need to take care of, time to take down their ship and put their raiding days to an end."
>"No problem."
>As Angel pilots the ship, you watch Hunter as he uses his magic to change his hoof.
>He keeps to the one hoof, but experiments with colours a little, going to a light brown and blue.
>He looks fatigued after a bit and stops, cuddling against you as the ride goes on.
>After you use your magic to take a picture of him against you, Angel looks back at you.
>"We are here."
>"There are two ships, Vex. Both of them in orbit around a planet." Chaos says.

>>25713394
Let's get closer to them and see what they do or say, they'll also be getting in range of our lasers.

Then we can give them a chance to surrender before we kill them.

>>25713394
"Get closer and see how they react. i want to give them a chance to surrender."
>"Got it."
>Angel brings the ship closer, keeping it pointed towards the pirates
>The two ships stay still, movment between them.
>"They are aiming their guns at us but not firing." Angel says.
>"It's a supply trade, i can see ponies and crates on the scanners." Chaos says.
>You keep approaching, the ships keeping silent.
>You can see supply crates floating through space, the ponies returning to their ships.
>The ships begin moving at a rapid pace, closing up their cargo.
>"They are running."

>>25714268
Get on the com and tell them to freeze or we'll fire on both of them.
Fire at them if they run.

I forgot that all we had to do was just fire at their engines. So do that!

>>25714268
>You open up the comunications, hailing both the ships.
"All ships halt! You will be fired upon if you do not comply."
>Neither of the ships follow your directions, a stray pony or two being left behind as the ships try to speed away.
"Fire upon their engines, stop them."
>"Yes captain." Cobalt says.
>A series of beams fire out, the lasers following, hitting the first ship.
>The first ship's shields are broken through and their engines take huge damage from the laser, a large section of it coming off.
>The second ship fires flares as the first ship's engine explodes, the area infront of you being lit up with light from the flares and burning fuel.
>"We surrender!"

Pick up the floating ponies, escort the remaining ship to a dock and report them to the authorities.

>>25715011
Let's retrieve the cargo that was stolen. Tell the second ship to put everypony from the first one on it. Then we can take them to the proper authorities.

I wonder what fixers up to right now.

>>25715917
Working on the second shield I imagine.

>>25715011
>You smile, continueing to use the comunications.
"Intact ship, you are to receive all of the crew of the other pirate ship, along with any ponies that may be adrift. You will be escorted to athorities and be taken into custody. Should either of you not comply, you will be destroyed."
>"Understood..."
>Chaos looks over to you, smiling.
>"Nice one Vex."
"Work isn't done yet. I need some of you to suit up and secure the floating cargo."
>Though it takes some time, your crew is able to retreive the cargo, the pirates making no fuss with your ship's weapons pointed at them.
>You eventually are able to get moving, escorting the pirates to a station with no trouble.
>When you arrive, you contact the authorities, numerous ships seizing and boarding the pirate ship.
>After a bit, the officiers thank you, towing the pirate ship away.

>>25716085
Cool, let's contact those guys and say that the pirates are in jail now. We even got their cargo back. We also have one more job to do.

>>25716085
Check the cargo and get a report on what we have. Did none of the pirates on that ship have a bounty?

>>25716085
>You have your crew check the contents of the supplies you recovered, awaiting their report.
>As you get ready to contact your employer, Sky approaches you.
"What have you got for me Sky?"
>"Eight crates of food, two of medicine, and three of what looks like parts for a defence cannon."
"Thanks, give me a moment."
>You contact the employer, saying that the pirates have been taken into custody, and that you retrieved some of the supplies.
>You receive a message back, giving you notification of payment.
>You also receive another message, saying that they can provide a bonus for the return of the supplies, the amount pending on what is returned.

>>25716531
Oh really? Do you think the rest of it is still on the first ship? We could go on it and check and then we might even have the chance to return everything that was stolen from them.

if not then it's not like it would be too much of a waste of time right?

>>25716531
>You set the data pad down, going to Angel.
"Angel, could you take us back to that planet? Our employer is offering a bonus if we can give them their supplies back, i want to get more from that ship we attacked."
>Angel nods, smiling.
>"Sure thing Vex, i'll get to work."
>Angel pilots the ship back to the planet, your crew chatting as you fly.
>When you get to the planet, you find no trace of the ship, nor any of the remaining supplies.
>"Where did it go?" Cobalt asks.
>"Found it." Chaos says.
"Where is it? is it intact?"
>"Well..."
>Chaos puts a display on screen, the flaming wreck of the ship falling towards the planet at an uncontrollable rate.
"Oh."
>"Yeah..."
>"Guess that's no dice on the other supplies Vex."
"It can't be helped, let's take what we can back and get a bonus."
>After about an hour of flight, you bring the supplies back to the colony.
>A pony at the landing pad thanks you when you return the suplies, giving you an extra 3000 credits.

>>25717163
Woah, we made some caps today. Now there is just one more job left. Let's try looking for that lost ship.

>>25717163
Ya know I'm a little surprised that those pirates gave up so quickly. I want to look our ship and name up and see what kind of rep were building up, while we're looking for that ship.

a return
to space

>>25717163
"Alright everypony, last job for today. All we need to do is search for a lost ship."
>Angel smiles, nodding.
>"Well, if it was as easy as the last two, we are made for the day."
"Hopefully it will be, let's hurry this up."
>You head for the last know location of the ship, arriving shortly.
>There is nothing notable to be found in the empty void as you look around, only stars being seen.
>"Well then, Shall we try what we did last time Vex? Use the blackbox ping?" Sky asks.
"Yes, let's do that."
>Sky fiddles with the sensors again, getting it so they pick up the ping from the ship.
>After a little bit of waiting, you get a corse and begin heading in the direction of the lost ship.
>"Think we will find something?" Cobalt asks.
"I hope we do, hopefully survivors too."
>"Yeah, last time was a little too grim for my liking." Sky says.
>"Woah, woah!" Chaos says.
"What is it?"
>"I just picked up an outpost on the sensors! Five ships launched and headed for us!"
>The communications open up, a voice coming through the speakers.
>"Attention unknown vessel, you have trespassed on space belonging to the Frontier Federation! Disarm all weapons and submit for escort, or you will be destroyed!"

>>25718187
Tell them we're a third party mercenary group just passing by. And we don't want a fight.

But be prepared to get the heck out. I guess we know what happened to the missing ship.

>>25718187
We didn't know this was frontier space, we'll just leave and stop bothering you.

Say do you happen to know what happened to a ship around here?

>>25718187
>"Goddess no." Angel says.
"Everypony be ready for us to leave in a hurry, this could get messy."
>"Vex, those ships are approaching fast."
>You open up communications, talking to the approaching ships.
"We are a third party mercenary group that is just passing through on a mission, We don't want a fight on our hooves. We were not aware this was Federation space and will happily leave."
>"Stay where you are. What is your mission?"
"Search and rescue of a lost ship. Speaking of, would you know anything about the lost ship?"
>There is a long silence, the five ships splitting up and begining to flank you.
>"Confirmed that the ship is the Artemis. All ships! Destroy the enemy of the Federation!"
>The area around you becomes filled with laser and beam fire, your shield taking numerous hits.
>"Shields are at 70% and dropping Vex!" Sky shouts.

>>25718736
God dammit.

Fire at the first ship you can!

You know who we are yet you choose to fight us. This will be the last mistake you make in your life!

Also will a pony please go to fixer and make sure she's not building a shield, I don't want anything to blow up in her face when the ship eventually starts to rock.

Since we're getting surrounded break though the line around us and let's try to get some distance while our lasers charge back up and we can take out another of their ships.

>>25718802
that is a good plan

>>25718802
That's a job for Sidney.

>>25718736
They're likely all coming at us in a row, swing our lasers across all of them.

>>25718736
"Fire at the first ship we are able to! Focus fire so we can break through!"
>"Yes Vex!"
"Sidney!"
>The blue stallion appears in front of you, looking at you with a serious expression.
>"YES CAPTAIN VEX."
"Carefully warn fFixer that we are in battle! If there is any disturbance in her room, report it immediately!"
>"AFFIRMATIVE."
>You turn your attention back to the battle, seeing one of the enemy ships going up in flames.
>"One destroyed!" Angel says.
"Push through! Make it so they are not surrounding us anymore!"
>Your ship pushes past the destroyed ship, taking more hits.
>"Shields are at 50% Vex!"

>>25721621
Move away from then, making them given chase then spin around when they're close enough together and sweep our lasers across them. When their shields are down try to cause a chain reaction again.

>>25721621
"Keep going! Full thrust! We will sweep them with the lasers when we turn around. Cobalt, Chaos, we are going to try and cause a chain reaction by destorying one of the ships. Focous on one when we fnish the sweep."
>"Roger."
>"Ready captain!"
>Your ship keeps going, gaining some distance from the outpost and enemy ships.
>"Get back here! Mercenary dogs!"
>You ship begins to turn around, the lasers firing in advance.
>The laser sweeps all four of the ships, each of their shields holding.
>"Cobalt! Middle left!
>"Firing!"
>Both beam cannons fire, the four beams hitting their target, making the ship explode.
>The ships beside it take damage, both their shilelds going down as they fire at you.
>Your shield lights up again as it takes a few hits, some of the shots missing.
>"Shields are at 40%!"
>"A squad of fighters has launched from the outpost! There are eight of them!

>>25722179
Sweep the two that lost their shields then focus on the last one. Let our anti-fighter guns handle the fighters for now.

>>25722179
"Sweep back the cut the two with no shilds in half! leave the fighters to the fighter guns."
>"Here we go." Angel says.
>The lasers fire again and your ship sweeps back, cutting the unshielded ships in half.
>As Angel finishes the sweep, the fighter guns begin firing, two of the fighters getting hit and exploding as they beginnattacking you.
>"Shields at 35%!"
"Destroy that last ship."
>"Ready Cobalt?"
>"Yes."
>The beam cannons fire again, hitting the enemy shields and disabling them.
>Angel brings the ship back again and fires the laser, finishing the enemy ship off.
>"That thing is a monster! All fighters retreat, we can't win this fight!"
>"All the remaining fighters are fleeing." Chaos says.
>"Good." Angel sighs, slumping back in his chair.
>"What about that outpost Vex?" Chaos asks.

>>25722825
I would have ordered the death of everyone.

Let's check to see if they have a wrecked ship there or not and then we can find out if that's where the ship went. We can also scour it for supplies.

>>25722825
Describe the outpost. I've no idea what we're working with. Is it like a small mooring dock which means there's likely no one left there, or is it an actual facility?

>>25722870
"Not sure... where are the fighters going?"
>"Away from the outpost. looks like there is a ship still docked at the outpost still, probably ponies still on that little station."
"How many do you think?"
>"Not sure, but we would be in for a fight unless they evacuate."
>You sigh, looking at the outpost.
"Do we know where the ship we are looking for is? is it here?"
>Chaos looks at the sensors, nodding.
>"It's here. And it's been shot up. looks like they were scraping it for parts.
>Chaos puts an image on display, showing the wrecked ship.
>"Figures. They thought they were easy prey and wanted to make the ship battle ready i bet." Angel says.

>>25723063
Send a message to the outpost. "Did any of the ponies on that ship survive? No response will be taken as an invitation to hostility." If it's yes then they should be placed in an escape pod and we can pick them up. Either way tell them to eject the wrecked ship. We can tow it back to the mission giver.

By the end of it send a final message "It is the Federation's choice that they are our enemy." then wreck the outpost.

>>25723063
Well lesson learned, no mercy to the federation ever.

>>25723063
>You sigh, shaking your head.
"These ponies hardly deserve mercy."
>"That's something we can agree on." Chaos says.
>"No kidding. What are we going to do Vex?" Angel asks.
>You open up the communications again, sending a message to the outpost.
"Attention Federation outpost, this is the Artemis. You are in possession of the ship we ate searching for, you are ordered to release it and report any surviving crew. Silence will be treated as hostility."
>There is a brief moment of silence before the coms come to life.
>"None had survived. Ejecting the ship now."
>You sigh, watching the wreck float away as you use the communications again.
"It is the Federation's choice that they are an enemy to the Artemis."
>You close the cominications, looking to Angel.
"Angel, wreck that outpost."
>"With pleasure."
>The ship moves to the side, lasers firing as it moves back to the station.
>Angel does two sweeps, cutting the station into pieces, an explosion sending the pieces flying.
"Alright everypony, we are going to tow thay destroyed ship back, can we get a team out there to hook it up?"
>"Charon? Cobalt? Feel like a walk?" Sky asks.
>Both mares get up, going with Sky.
>You feel a nudge against your side, looking down and noticing that Hunter holding onto you the entire time.
>'Is it over?"
"Yes, it is over."
>'Why is daddy so... not happy? Were those really bad ships?'
>'Wait, we were in comabat?" Mich exclaims.

>>25723500
Yeah, those ships had bad ponies on it who are not nice at all.

Yeah Mich.

>>25723500
'It was a minor run-in, no reason to be concerned.'

That does bring up an idea. Call up Sidney and instruct her to alert anyone on the ship that's not on the bridge when we enter a combat state.

>>25723572
Let me set an additional condition to that, instruct her to ask if we want to alert them. In case we don't want to do that automatically in the future for some reason.

>>25723500
'Yes, but there is no need to be alarmed, it was a minor run-in.'
>'If you say so. Also, send a pony my way at some point please. Need to feed again...'
>You nod at Hunter, giving him a small hug
"Yes, they were bad ponies. None of them were nice at all."
>'Is that why daddy and uncle Chaos both feel that way?'
"Yes."
>You look to the side of you.
"Sidney."
>The pink filly appears, smiling at you.
>"Yes captain Vex?"
"In the furure, can you ask if i want to put an alert out tellng the crew that we are in combat? I want to have them alerted should they not be on the bridge."
>"Yes, i will add that to my actions, captain Vex."
"Is Fixer alright?"
>"Zero casualties or damages detected. Minor noteworthy event is as follows: increased heart rate. In addition, there are zero escape attempts from the prisoner."

>>25724126
Let's go deliver this ship and explain what happened to it then get paid.

>>25724126
"Thanks Sidney, that will be all."
>After the pink filly disappears, it is not long before your crew gets the wrecked ship hooked to yours, letting you tow it.
>Though the trip time is trippled, you eventually get back to a station, contacting the employer.
>You explain the detals of what you found, bringing the destroyed ship to Forge's scrap yard for now.
>The employer thanks you and gives you the payment, giving you more credits.
>Once it is all done, Angel docks the ship, streaching as he sits in his chair.
>Hunter moves to him and hives his leg a nuzzle, Angel smiling and lifting him up.
>"So, that's it for today?"

>>25724552
That's it for today, thanks my handsome stallion. Give him a kiss.

Let's go with Cobalt to feed Mich. Let's also ask when he can start moving around because we can just send him to that spa since it's a good place for changelings to feed.

>>25724552
"Yes, that is it for today."
>You hop down and move over to Angel, giving him a kiss.
"Thank you my handome stallion."
>"Anything for my pretty mare." He says with a smile. "Time to have some fun Hunter?"
>Hunter nods, smiling.
>You turn to Cobalt, moving next to her.
"Cobalt, would you mind helping me feed Mich? He needs energy the same way Hunter and i do. I will be there to make sure it is safe."
>Cobalt looks nervous, but nods.
>"Okay."
>You both head to the medical room, finding Charon looking over Mich.
"Anything wrong?"
>Charon turns to you, smiling.
>"No, just checking to see how he is healing. He sould be able to leave in a day or two, so long as he doesn't strain himself or get involved in a fight."
"Can he walk?"
>"Been trying to do that. It hurts, but i can move." Mich says.
"Well, there is a nice place i know where you could get plenty love energy without causing danger. Feel like going there? i bet you could get a full dose of love."
>Mich looks at you in suprise, nodding.
>"If i can get enough energy to put up a disguise? Sure."

>>25725310
Take what you need from Cobalt. Put your arm around her and then start nuzzling your cheek against hers. Give her a small kiss afterwards.

>>25725310
>>25725347
Rub the base of her wings.

>>25725310
"Well, you can get the energy you need from Cobalt."
>You put a hoof around Cobalt and nuzzle her cheek, making her giggle.
>The two of you move to another medical table and sit down, continuing the light cuddle.
>As the two of you nuzzle, Mich begins feeding, giving a sigh as he does.
>You reach down as you nuzzle Cobalt, giving the base of her wings a rub.
>Cobalt gasps and gives a soft groan at the contact, leaning against you.
>"Ooooh, that's nice."
>You giggle and keep rubbing, geting happiness and a tiny bit of lust from Cobalt.
>You give her a hidden kiss as you pass on a last nuzzle, seeing Cobalt blush.
>Mich nods at you both, smiling.
>"Thanks, the both if you, that will do."

>>25725869
Give Cobalt one last nuzzle and thank her. Then we can take mich to the spa to gorge on love/lust

>>25725869
>You give Cobalt another nuzzle, smiling at her.
"Thanks Cobalt."
>Cobalt just smiles and blushes more, nodding.
>You look back to Mich, seeing him stand up.
"Ready to go?"
>You see Mich's horn glow, his body changeing in a flash of green.
>Mich changes into a unicorn stallion, having a yellow coat and blue mane, both looking faded in colour.
>"Now i am."
"Let's go then."
>You and Mich leave the ship, leading him to the spa.
>Mich gives you a confused look when you both arrive, looking at the sign after.
>"A spa?"
"A fellow changeling recommended it, and trust me, he was right about it."
>"Alright then." Mich says, shrugging
>You both enter the spa, the mare at the counter greeting you.
>"Hello again! i remember you. same as last time? A treatment and private bath?"

>>25726414
Just for my friend here.

>>25726414
Well if it comes with wine and bubble maybe. But this treatment is more for my friend then me.

We were specifically supposed to ask for changelings services weren't we?

>>25726414
"Not this time, this is more for my friend here."
>"Not a problem! this is your first time, yes?"
>"Yep, it is."
>"Then don't you worry, just let us take care of all your problems."
>The mare wistles, a pair of mares coming out and surrounding Mich on both sides.
>"Come on..."
>"Don't be shy now."
>The mares lead Mich away, Mich getting a grin on his face.
>The mare at the counter smiles at you.
>"20 credits please, will you be waiting for him? Also, might i offer you a bottle of our drink to take home? My manager had asked me to offer you one as a token for coming to us so often."

>>25726672
Oh boy, a reward for being a regular customer. Sure we'll take a drink. Here are your credits.

>>25726672
Sure might as well wait for mich. Also never say no to free drinks.

>>25726672
>You give the credits, nodding.
"Sure! i'd love to take a bottle. And yes, i will wait."
>The mare giggles and trots off, bringing a crimson bottle with a heart on it back to you.
>"Be careful! This is the really goooood stuff. Anypony who drinks this will be in quite the interesting mood."
"Thank you. I'll be sure to remember that."
>You wait around a bit, looking at the various conditioners and reading a few magazines.
>After about an hour, Mich stumbles out, a plesent look on hia face.
>He walks up to you, smiling.
"And?"
>"Full as can be. If this is what the life of a love collector is like, to hell with being a soldier. That public bath has a fair amount of friendly ponies."
>Suddenly, out of the direction Mich came in, a stallion charges up to Mich and gives him a peck on the cheek.
>"Call me!" He says, trotting off and humming a tune.
>Mich clears his throat.
>"Very friendly... back to your ship i guess?"

>>25727294
Yep, back to the ship. Also love collecting isn't THAT easy. This spa is just a lucky break.

>>25727294
If I knew this piece of heaven existed back then I would have went rogue earlier. Besides my job wasn't all glitter and gold. There was a lot of drama.

And yes back to the ship unless you want to see the sites...also you're free to give you new little boyfriend a call when you get back.

>>25727294
"As a former love collector, trust me, it isn't that easy. But i can agree with you, i would have gone rogue sooner had i known that places like this existed. And yes, back to the ship. Unless you want to see the sights. You can also give your little coltfriend a call when we get back."
>Mich smiles, laughing.
>" i will at this point, haven't had the pleasure button hit that hard in forever."
"Oh really?"
>"Mares are good, but you can beat a good stallion."
>You smile and beginnto make your way back with Mich, arriving shortly.
>You don't see any of the crew when you get back, Mich looking at you as he transforms back.
>"I'll find my own way, i can remember well enough. Thanks for the trip."

>>25727866
You're welcome. Now let's go see what fixer is up to. I want to know if she remembers her rule.

>>25727866
"You're welcome."
>Mich walks off leaving you all by yourself.
>You begin moving to the crew quarters, searching for Fixer.
>You enter her room, seeing her look at a computer, watching a graph with her back turned to you.
>You walk in and peak to the side, seeing no tools in her hooves as she sits.
>You smile and close the door, causing Fixer to turn her head and look at you
"And what are you doing?"
>She gasps slightly and hops off her chair, moving to be infront of you.
>She then turns and arches her back, leaving her rear in the air and pointed towards you.
>She moves her lifted tail to the side, leaving herself completly exposed to you as she looks back at you with a small blush.
>"I-i was just trying to check on what you asked me about, master. i wanted to get the shields so they could stay on longer but provide less cloaking. i was able to get the other shield done!"

>>25728241
Give her flank a squeeze and tell her she did a good job.

>>25728241
>You move next to her, placing a hoof on Fixer's flank.
>She shivers and bites her lip, holding still as she awaits your next move, her lust on the rise.
>You give her flank a squeeze, getting a wimper out of her.
"You did a good job Fixer."
>"T-thank you master!"
>You give her flank a gentle pat, moving up and looking at the shield.
"Are you close to figureing out if we can do what i asked?"
>Fixer nods as she keeps her head to the floor, slowly rising to her hooves and moving to you.
>"I just need to figure out how to balance the output and power draw, may meed to add a swich, but i think it can be done."
>She points a hoof to the shield.
>"That is it, completly ready for you to give to anypony."
>You smile, looking at the shield.
"Good."
>You feel a small lick just along your jaw, Fixer nuzzleing your leg after.
>"Master is happy?"

>>25728700
Yes very.

In fact seeing how you've been so well behave I think you deserve a reward.
It can be anything you want.

>>25728743
within... reason

>>25728700
she does deserve a reward, and there is no better reward then putting your pet to use. At least I think so.

up you go.

>>25728700
>You look at Fixer and smile, petting her.
"Yes, very happy. You have been a very good girl Fixer. Good girls get rewards."
>Fixer's face lights up at "rewards", the small mare smiling at you.
>"Really?"
>You nod, continuing to pet the mare
"How about i put my good girl to use?"
>"Yes please, master!"
"Onto the bed..."
>Fixer pulls away and leaps onto her bed, her collar making noise as she does.
>She reaches under and pulls out her box full of toys, her leash being in it, alongside a newly added gag and blindfold.
>You climb onto the bed, watching as Fixer turns around and presents herself again.
>"Is this the position you want to have me in to use me, master?"

>>25730675
tripcode fix

>>25730675
Transform to give us a dick. Run a hoof up her slit, say no, and push her flank to turn her around. Then tell her to suck. Let her start at a normal pace then push her head down forcefully and give her a burst of lust. Then start a proper facefuck.

>>25730675
>You smile and transform into a unicorn stallion, approaching Fixer.
>You run a hoof slowly and gently along her slit, feeling a little bit of wetness as Fixer shivers.
"No."
>You push Fixer's flank, making her turn around as you sit, leaning back.
>Your member stands erect infront of Fixer, her eyes on you for instruction.
"Be a good girl and suck."
>"Yes, master."
>Fixer gets close to your member and opens her mouth, running a very wet tongue from halfway up before she takes the tip of you into her mouth.
>She begins to suck and bob her head, moving her tongue about as she does.
>Ypu reash a hoof our and pet her, feeling a mixture of lust and happiness from Fixer as you do, the tiny mare relaxing into the blowjob.
>You get a good grip on her mane and head and force Fixer down on your member, getting her almost all the way to your base.
>"Mmmmh!"
>You give her a burst of lust from your lust inducer, Fixer's moan sending a pleasant vobration through your stallionhood.
>You stand up carefully as you hold Fixer in place, the tiny mare struggling a little with your member.
>You let off of her, letting her catch her breath for a moment.
>You quickly slam back into Fixer's mouth, facefucking her as she moans.
>You look down at the tiny mare as you hold her in place and thrust away, seeing her marehood wink.
>You can see drops of her arousal drip onto the bed, Fixer's hooves keeping to the bed, letting her keep her balance under you.
>You keep thrusting away, Fixer's moans and whimpers only adding to the pleasure, your limit approaching.
>You push as deep as you can go into Fixer's mouth, shooting hot seed down her throat.
>You let off and let some of the cum flood Fixer's mouth, letting go of the tiny mare as you feel her swallow.
>You move back and see Fixer shiver a little as she stands, seeing her lick up stray cum from her muzzle and swallow again.
>She moves to your hooves, nuzzling and kissing them.
>"Please master. let me have relief. Fuck me, please."

>>25731246
>You

>>25731246
Get another erection, lay on your back, put your hooves behind your head and relax. levitate fixer and use her like the toy she is.

>>25731246
>You smile, lifting Fixer's head so she looks at you.
"Who is my little fuck toy?"
>"I am. i'm a fuck toy. Your toy." She wimpers.
>Fixer glows, being levitated by your magic as you lift her in the air.
"Yes you are, and you are going to get treated like one."
>You lay down on your back, resting your head on a pillow and putting your hooves behind your head.
>Using your magic, you keep Fixer levitated, spreading her legs apart.
>Fixer watches with wide eyes as you align her with your stallionhood, hooves to her chest as you slowly bring her closer.
>She moans when you push her down onto your tip, eyes closing when you keep bringing her down.
>You start at a normal pace, Fixer letting out shaky breaths and moans as you use her.
>You bring her up to the tip and slam her down onto your member, now using your magic to rapidly move Fixer up and down across the entire length of your member.
>"Ahhh! Mmmh! Master!"
>Fixer screams in pleasure and delight, her expression of pleasure equal to her screams.
>"Keep using me like the toy i am master! Please!"
>You sigh and close your eyes, giving a few grunts and groans as you keep using your magic.
>You open your eye as you feel a constricting feeling around your member, Fixer moaning loudly as she reaches her climax.
>As you keep using Fixer, you give a few thrusts into her whenever she reaches the base of your member, getting even more noise from her.
>Fixer Climaxes again, babbleing a little as you bring her down one last time, having reached your limit again.
>You moan as you fill Fixer up, flodding her insides.
>Feeling a warm feeling alond your member, you look down, seeing cum leak out of Fixer and onto you.
>Fixer pants, shivering again as you keep her levitated.
>T-thank you master. Thank you so much."

>>25732394
Levitate her and put her face in front of your member, order her to lick you clean. After that we can leave.

>>25732394
>You lift Fixer off of you, more cum spilling out of her as you do.
>Once she is off of you, you levitate her in front of your member, almost pressing her muzzle against it.
"Clean me. Pet."
>Fixer takes your member in her hooves, holding it still as she laps at it.
>She licks you clean, going over it again even though there is no cum, licking her hooves clean after.
>You sit up finally, looking at Fixer, the small mare looking a drained from the experience.
>"Thank you, master." she sighs, smiling. "Please come back and use me again."
>You transform back, petting Fixer again as she lowers her head and closes her eyes.
>You leave the room and make a stop by the crew showers, giving your body a quick rinse and wash in the warm water.
>You quickly dry off and give your back a crack, feeling refreshed.

>>25733069
Let's go see what Angel and hunter are up to. They probably miss us. We can also see if he's learned anymore of the crews name.

>>25733069
>You trot our and begin searching the ship, trying to locate your family.
>You stop as you get an idea, smiling.
"Sidney!"
>The pink filly appears, smiling at you.
>"Hello captain Vex."
"Where is Angel and Hunter located?"
>"Both are located in the captain's quarters."
"Thank you."
>You trot off to your quarters, arriving shortly.
>You see Angel, Hunter, and Cobalt, all fo them looking towards you when you enter.
>"Mommy!" Hunter says, rushing towards you and hugging you.
>"There you are, we were getting worried. Cobalt said you were helping Mich get some extra feeding done." Angel says.

>>25733387
He did end up pretty engorged. With that amount of love he should be back to normal in no time now. What've you three been doing?

>>25733387
Give hunter a hug and a nuzzle.

Oh no, he just decided to take his time. I was waiting out in the lobby while he was feeding. Hey guess what we got! Show them the bottle.

we got it because we show up there so often.

>>25733387
>You hug Hunter back, giving his head a kiss before looking at Angel.
"Mich was just taking his time, i was waiting in the lobby as he got his fill. He should be back to normal in no time with the ammout he got. Great news though! look what we got!"
>You levitate up the bottle, smiling.
"For going back to that spa, we got a free bottle of their drink."
>Angel grins, smiling.
>"Their drink, their drink?
"Yep."
>"We will need to have some sometime."
>"Is it good? What spa is this?" Cobalt asks
>Angel laughs, looking at her.
>"We will tell you later, this is quite the special drink. Maybe you could have a glass with us."
>You set the bottle down with your magic.
"So, what have you guys been doing?"
>"Helping Hunter speak!" Cobalt says.
>"We taught hims some things. Go on, show off to mommy." Angel says, grinning.
>Hunter looks up at you, smiling.
>"Chaos! Fixer! Sky!"
>He then hugs your leg tighter, nuzzling you.
>"I love my mommy."

>>25733579
And I love you Hunter, my adorable little changeling. Give him a little tickling.

>>25733579
Oh those devious little rascals. Let's check if his shell is coming in/hardening yet while tickling him.

>>25733579
>You smile, hugging Hunter tightly.
"And i love you Hunter, my adorable little changeling."
>You pick him up and cradle him like you did the day he hatched, prodding and tickling his tummy.
>Hunter squirms and chitters, wiggleing against you.
>You slow down and feel his stomach and chest as you tickle him, feeling a certain firmness.
>"Everything alright Vex?" Angel asks.
>You look up and smile, nodding
"Yes, just thinking. Where is our camera?"
>"Here." Angel says, holding it up.
>You gently grab it with your magic, moving it to you.
"Thank you Angel."
>You look through the latest and earliest photos of Hunter, paying attention to his colour.
>His body has darkened since he hatched, slowly enough that you haven't noticed the day by day transformation.
>Feeling Hunter again, you can feel the build of the growing shell, the smooth armor coming in nicely.
>"Vex?"

>>25734355
He's growing Angel.

>>25734355
Show them the earliest picture and tell them to see if they can spot the difference.

>>25734355
Oh its just that his shell is coming in.
MY BABY GROWING UP!

Start mommy sobbing.

>>25734355
"Nothing.... nothing.... Take a look at his earliset picture, spot the diffrence."
>You give the camera back, both Angel and Cobalt looking at the picture.
>"His body is darker."
>"Oh my gosh it is!"
"He is getting his shell...."
>You sniff, actually feeling a tiny bit choked up.
"My baby is growing up!"
>You start to sob a little, Angel holding back a laugh as Cobalt's ears droop, a smile on her face.
>"Come on Vex, Hunter is still young."
>"Yeah!"
"Still!"
>'what is wrong mommy?'
"Nothing hunter, you are just grtting bigger."
>'if i stay small, would mommy be happy again?'

>>25734811
Actually hunter, I would be happy if you got bigger.

>>25734811
No, no, Its ok hunter these are happy tears.
Mommy is so happy and proud your growing up!

Snuggle him!

>>25734811
>In a joking manner.
Wait if hunter is getting older that means i'll get older too....and that means.

>Transform into granny vex.

Get off my space-lawn you crazy kids!

>>25734811
"No, no! Mommy is happy that you are growing up. These are happy tears."
>You hug Hunter, smiling.
"Mommy is happy and proud that her baby is growing."
>"And daddy is too. I want to see my boy big and strong."
>"Me too!" Cobalt says.
>'Okay, i will make sure i grow big and strong.'
>You laugh slightly, looking at Angel.
"Now that means I'm going to get older. soon i'll be yelling at ponies to get off my property."
>Angel laugs, shaking his head as he moves to you.
>"Not a chance, my mare is going to be as young and attractive as she is now. I bet my life on it."
>He gives you a kiss, nuzzling you after.
>"Come on, my young and pretty mare, how about we teach Hunter some more?"
>"I wana help!" Cobalt says.

>>25735572
Let's teach him telekinesis!

>>25735572
Alright, let's teach him how to say charon. Or 'can we play?" or the all important "can I use the bathroom?"

>>25735572
Ask him what he wants to focus on.

>>25735572
>You set Hunter down, smiling at him.
"Well, let's complete the crew names. Can you try saying Charon?"
>Hunter nods, looking happy
>"Char...on. Charon."
"That was quick."
>"He was like that for the other names too. He finally found his voice." Angel says.
"Guess he is getting good at single words. alright, how about this? Say "can we play?"
>Hunter pauses, looking throughtfull before he speaks.
>"Can... we... p-lay?"
"Good, now speed it up."
>"Can we play?"
>"Good job hunter!"
"How about this? "Can i use the bathroom?""
>"Don't know, can you?" Angel says.
>You give him a look of disapproval, Angel just grinning at you.
>"Can i... use... the... b-a-throom? Can i use the bathroom?"
"Good!"
>Angel nods, giving Hunter a pat on the head.
>"You know, i'm curious, what does Hunter want to learn?" He asks. "All we have really done is just how him things, let's have him make a choice."
"I was thinking of that. Well Hunter? what do you want to learn?"
>'More transforming please."

>>25736054
Let's do it in stages. He's already been stretching those muscles. Start with the hoof, then do the leg, then do another leg. On and on until he can't hold it.

>>25736054
"Well, he has been trying oh his own. Let's do a hoof, then a whole leg. Then we can add another, seeing how much you can do until you can't hold it."
>"That sounds good." Angel says.
>Hunter nods with a smile, looking to his hoof.
>With a green glow, his hoof transforms into a light blue pony's hoof, the little changeling looking at it.
"Good! Now try to make your whole leg different. Just picture what you want."
>Hunter's horn glows again, the rest of his foreleg looking like a pony's
>"Go Hunter!" Cobalt cheers.
"Good job, not go for the next one."
>Hunter repeats the steps, getting both his forelegs and hooves changed.
>With instruction from you, he gets a back leg, looking fatigued as he finishes it.
>He goes for the final leg, the entire thing glowing before it fades out, all of Hunter's legs returning to normal.
>Hunter wobbles a little, looking very tired.
>"Aww. push a little to hard?" Angel says, nuzzling Hunter to keep him stable.

>>25736806
Good job hunter. You almost made it to four legs.

>>25736806
Let's give him some energy and ask if he wants to keep going or try something else.

>>25736806
"Good job Hunter, you almost made it to four legs!"
>You move to Hunter and feed him some energy, seeing him perk up.
>"That did it." Angel says.
"So, do you want to keep practicing? Or do you want to do something else?"
>Hunter smiles at you.
>'Practicing! i wana be able to do the same things as you mommy!'
>You laugh, nodding.
"Like mommy? Alright then, we can keep practicing."
>You help Hunter repeat the steps, watching as he is able to get all four legs for a few seconds.
>His disguise fades again, Hunter giving a yawn this time.
>"Uh oh, i think it's bed time." Angel says.
>"Awee, he even yawns cutely." Cobalt says.
>You smile and levitate Hunter up, laying him on your bed.
>As you give him his manticore, Hunter reaches his hooves out to you.
>You smile and hug him, giving Hunter a kiss on his cheek.
>"Love my mommy."
"Love you too Hunter."
>Hunter then looks to Angel, doing the same as before.
>"Love my daddy." Hunter says, hugging Angel.
>"Love you too kiddo, you are the best thing a father could ask for."
>When they break the hug, Hunter reaches to Cobalt, Cobalt looking happy and suprised.
>They hug, Cobalt giving Hunter a nuzzle.
>"Love my aunt Cobalt."
>"I love you too Hunter, i hope you have sweet dreams."
>Finally, when all the hugging is done, you tuck hunter in.
>He quickly falls asleep, Cobalt smiling at him.
>"Awee, he is so cute. All wraped up and warm on a soft bed."

>>25737616
Isn't he just the most precious?

I just wanna raspberry his belly and tickle him. We should go to bed ourselves soon.

>>25737616
Welp time for bed we got work in the morning.

>>25737616
I kinda want to see what our rep is like. Can we look our self up online before bed.

We should have a group hug with Cobalt and Angel.

>>25737616
"I know, he is just so precious."
>Angel looks down at hunter, smiling softly.
>"He is a good kid. We have yet to have a problem with him, but still."
>Hunter shifts, nuzzleing his manticore.
>"Guess we are a little loud, i better go." Cobalt whispers.
"Wait."
>You pull Cobalt and Angel closer, hugging them both.
>Cobalt giggles, hugging you both back and giving each of you a kiss.
>"Goodnight to you both, sweetest dreams."
"You too Cobalt."
>"Night Cobalt."
>You all break the hug and Cobalt takes off, leaving you and Angel.
>"Bed time?"
"Yes, just want to check something before we sleep."
>You both crawl into bed, getting comfortable.
>Bringing a data pad over as Angel cuddles you from behind, you do a quick search for your ship.
>You are getting more well known from what you can see, your ship being apparently well known for rescue operations and dealing with pirates with almost ruthless efficiency.
>You can also see some notes about your ship showing mercy, ponies commending you for not being heartless mercenaries.
>"Looking us up?" Angel asks.
"Yes, i am a little curious."
>Angel nods, sighing.
>You feel a pressure on your upper back and shoulders, hooves massaging and rubbing you.
"Mmmm."
>Angel gives the back of your neck a kiss, nuzzleing you.
>"For curiosity sake, how much of a bribe does my mare need for her to cook for me? i doubt a simple massage will do."

>>25740961
A kiss. And a taste of his cooking. He had to have inherited some cooking genes from his mother.

>>25740961
Ask what he would like for us to make.

>>25740961
>You turn over and smile at him.
"A kiss, and a taste of your cooking. i bet you inherited some of your mother's skill."
>"Well, i don't know about that. But sure thing, i'll cook you dinner"
>He kisses you, smiling after.
>"There's that kiss."
>You giggle, nuzzling his chest.
"What would my stallion like to have cooked for him?"
>"Hmmm... Anything. My mare's speciality meal, what she likes cooking the most."
"Sure thing."
>You both continue to cuddle, falling asleep after a bit.
>You awaken to the noise of a door closing, looking over and seeing movement by your personal bathroom.
>Little hoofsteps sound before a buzzing fills the air, Hunter flying to get ontop of the bed.
>He sees you and smiles, moving over to you and nuzzling you.

>>25741499
I guess we can make him some rice. We only made eggs for sky.

Say good morning to hunter and ask how long he's been awake.

>>25741499
We don't know what we can cook.

Let's make some buttered cod and fries for the meat eaters and hay fries and dandelion sandwiches for the herbivores.

>>25741499
"Good morning Hunter, how long have you been awake?"
>'Good morning mommy, i just woke up.'
>You look to Angel, the stallion smiling as he sleeps.
>You look back to Hunter, smiling.
"Go play for a little bit untill daddy wakes up."
>'Okay.'
>Hunter hops down, going to his toys as you lay beside Angel, looking over his features.
>Angel eventually stirs and yawns, blinking.
>He smiles at you with his eyes half open, stareing at you.
>"I thought you only see beautiful angels when you die."

>>25742530
forgot name

>>25742530
But I'm alive and there is a sleepy angel right in front of me. Also I'm vex. heh
Kiss him and say good morning. Ready to start the day?

>>25742530
Lets look at the job list and look up some recipes to make for dinner.

I wonder if they're any interesting changeling dishes that other species can eat.

Let's find out if there are any interesting jobs today.

does to me

“Pull them back, I don’t want to risk it.”
>A shot from one of the cruiser’s main cannons flies past your portside, prompting you to pull a one eighty.
>You fly towards the moon at full throttle, you and the Rascal splitting from each other to go around different sides of the moon.
>Each of you pull two frigates each, dodging blasts of plasma by ducking and rolling through the massive craters and canyons of the moon.
>Ahead of you the Rascal comes into view just over the Horizon, heading right for you with two frigates in tow.
>As you get closer the Rascal goes high and you duck low, taking each others frigates head on.
>Your arc cannon drops the shields of one frigate, allowing your magjet cannon to lance through it before it get can get a shot off.
>It explodes in mid air, debris showering the planet below as the other frigate opens fire on you, a mix of plasma and laser tearing through your shields and badly damaging your starboard side.
>You duck down and try to pull away, right into the path of a rock formation.
>The Cordoba plows right through it, cracking the window in front of you.
>”Oh shitting hell cap’n! Try not to hit everything in the fuckin’ system!”
>You head straight for the friendly cruisers, the enemy frigates pulling back to wait for support.
>The Eudora comes in over the radio, “Nice job guys. Cordoba, you took a pretty bad hit there, can you still fight?”

>>25752383
“We should be fine as long as they don’t get close.”
>”Copy that, pull back a little then, we can handle them from here. We just need them to get close.”
>You pull the Cordoba back towards the other cruiser, settling in between the cruiser and the grey cargo freighter.
>The enemy cruisers come into view with the remaining frigates clustered around them.
>The Eudora and the other cruiser open fire immediately, blasts from their main guns flying past the enemy as they close the distance, returning fire.
>A new voice comes in over the radio, a raspy male voice this time, “We’re ready over here Eudora, you want us to open fire?”
>”Go ahead Atlas. We’ll finish ‘em off for you.”
>The grey cargo ship which you assume to be the Atlas opens its cargo bay, exposing racks of missiles lined up.
>They open fire as the cruisers and their escorts get close, what looks like hundreds of missiles being dumped out into space before igniting their rockets.
>The missiles lock onto the cruisers and frigates, spiralling towards them.
>Their anti-missile defesnses bring them down as they come close, but there are too many for them and dozens slip through, impacting into their targets with explosions of plasma.
>Three of the remaining frigates are brought down immediately while the rest have their shields took out.
>Your group open fire, cutting the unshielded, exposed enemy to ribbons.
>A shot from your magjet cannon punches through one cruiser and into its reactor, causing the whole ship to explode in a magical blast the size of a dreadnaught.
>The enemy are quickly finished off, leaving only wreckage remaining.
>”Holy shit Cordoba, I haven’t seen a cruiser go up like that since the battle of Scarpa!”
>Fizzy leans in between you, looking a little sick “How many ponies d-do you think we just killed?”
>”Depends, at least two hundred depending on if they were at full compliment or not,” True grins “We showed ‘em, right cap’n?”

>>25752418
This couldn't have been resolved peacefully fizzy.
we certainly showed them something true.

>>25752418
Well, It's all apart of the job. Sometimes pony's blow up in this occupation Fizzy.

>>25742530
"But i'm alive and there is a sleepy Angel right in front of me. Also, i'm Vex."
>Angel chuckles softly, closing his eyes again.
>You move in and give him a kiss, Angel pulling you closer and deepening it.
>You both break the kiss, smiling.
"Ready to start the day?"
>Angel sighs, smiling.
>"Oh... i suppose. Ooff!"
>Angel turns his head to look at Hunter, the little changeling haveing landed on Angel.
>Hunter hugs and nuzzles Angel, chittering.
>"Daddy!"
>"Hunter!" Angel says, laughing before looking at you. "Alright, let's get going."
>You all make your way down to the mess, finding Cobalt and Fixer.
>The two mares stop whisper chatting and turn to your family, both smiling.
>"Morning guys."
>"Good morning everypony!"
"Good morning."
>"Hi aunt Cobalt! Hi Fixer!"
>Ficer laughs, grinning at Hunter.
>"Ha! he said my name."
>"Yep, he wanted to learn how to." Angel says.
>You grab a data pad, quickly eyeing the jobs before you get food.
>Patrol wanted: 3000 credits.
>Refugee ship protecter wanted: 4000 credits.
>Goods shipping: 1000 credits.
>Mercenary emilination: 5000 credts.
>"Excuse me captain, can i ask something?" Cobalt asks.
>You look up, smiling at her.
"What is it Cobalt?"
>"Could i make Hunter a fruit smoothie for breakfast? Just wanted to make him smile."

Thanks for keeping thigs going guys. Sorry to say, but i dont know how much i will post today, sleep did me little to no good.

>>25753312
Ship protector and goods shipping. Curious about the merc that needs eliminating though. Yeah giving him a smoothie should be fine. Or at least he can try it.

We should drink some of that smoothie as well.

>>25753312
"Sure, he can have one. Or at least try one."
>"Yay!"
>Cobalt hops down, moving to the fridge.
>You accept both the protecting and shippig jobs, taking a closer look at the elimination.
>A mercinary groop has been paid to sieze building, you are being asked to take it back.
>A loud noise gets your attention, Cobalt using a blender.
>She pours a pinkish-orange liquid into a glass, little dots being seen in it.
>She gives the drink to Hunter, smiling as she stands next to him.
>"Here you go Hunter, try it!"
>Hunter Quickly hugs Cobalt before picking up the drink, taking a sip.
>He smiles widely and licks the drink off his upper lip, taking a huge gulp.
>"Guess he likes it!" Angel says, laughing. "What's in it?"
>"Mangos, razz berries, strawberries, pineapples, oranges... all kinds of stuff!"

>>25754453
Sounds tasty. Make sure to tell him not to drink it too fast because of the brain freeze that could happen.
I don't think we'll have both the time to protect refugees and take that building back. We COULD just leave three crew members on the ship again while the rest of the crew does it though. We might want to hire one more pony though.

This would actually be a good time to test those invisible shields.

Up from 10.

Adventuring in space is a lot of fun.

>>25754453
"Careful Hunter, drink too fast and you will get brain freeze. Think you could make me one too Cobalt?"
>"Me too if you are able to." Fixer says.
>"I'll make one for everypony. Angel?"
>"Sure, i'll take one too."
>Angel brings you a meal package, smiling.
>"Big day?"
"Possibly... i want to check something."
>You mark down the mercenary elimination job, looking at ponies avaliable for hire.

Can we get a description of a Magic Vangard? Im guessing its just a magical tank type character.

And dos a spotter work like a scout or is a bit different.

>>25756996
The magic vanguard is basically a magic specialist, using magic over weapons. can be used as a magic based point man or magic artillery to support the crew.

the spotter is like a scout, finding and keeping track of enemy locations, but somewhat of a sniper also. More of an assistant to Cobalt, helping her find targets or coordinate an attack.

>>25756756
I'll go with the vanguard seeing as were normally on the offencive and don't get the chance to make coordinated strikes. And we could probably just use Cobalt as a spotter seeing how she has invisibility armor.

>>25757159
>Magic Artillery
That sounds amazing.

Hope surge likes the ship. Also all the spell books we have.

>>25756756
>You put out a message, sending credits and a location with it.
"Well, looks like we may have a new crew member."
>"Oh? who?" Angel asks, Cobalt passing him his smoothie.
"A unicorn named Energy Surge, a magic vanguard."
>"Cool it would be nice to have anoter magic user."
>Cobalt gives out the rest of the smoothies and smiles, sitting back down.
>"Hope you like it!"
>You take a sip of your smoothie, tasting every sweet fruit imaginable.
"This is great Cobalt, thanks."
>"Yeah, this is nice and sweet."
>Hunter gives a tiny burp, Angel loking down at him and snickering.
>"Guess that's Hunter's opinion. So, should we all go and greet him?" Angel asks.
>"Aaahhg!"
>Fixer, puts her glass down, hooves on her head.
>"Brain freeze?" Cobalt asks.
>Fixer nods, groaning again.
>"I have made a terrible mistake. Oh, i have made a terrible mistake."

>>25758602
Pet your pet. You'll be fine fixer. Just remember this lesson for next time. Let's go greet the new guy.

>>25758602
>You finish off your drink and get up, smiling as you walk to Fixer.
>You pet Fixer, gently strokeing her mane.
"You will be fine Fixer, just remember this lesson for next time."
>Fixer nods, blushing slightly as you pet her.
>"I will."
>You smile at her and stop petting, looking at Angel after.
"Yes, let's go and say hello to him."
>"I think i'll jist stay for a moment..." Fixer groans.
>You, your family, and Cobalt all head outside of the ship. Angel, Hunter, and Cobalt all playing as you wait.
>Eventually you spot a blue-grey unicorn with a vest, his back leg having a holster for a large pistol.
>He looks up at the ship before lookng to you, his silver mane covering one of his eyes.
>He approaches you, a cautious look on his face.
>"This the Artemis? The captain here?"

>>25759724
Yes it is. You're looking at her. Nice to meet you Energy Surge. My name is Vex.

>>25759724
Yup thats us and I am your lovely captain. The name is Vex and before we make any surface judgments of each other I only have one thing to say...nice hair cut. pony sephiroth

>>25759724
"Yes, it is. And you are looking at her, my name is Vex. And before we make any surface judgements, i have one thing to say... Nice hair cut."
>The stallion relaxes and smiles, giving a nod.
>"Fair enough, fair enough. I'd rather get talk about the hair then the eye."
>He brushes his mane to the side, revealing a milky-white dead eye alongside his green one.
>He quickly moves his hoof away, his mane falling back into place.
>"I can see just fine though, so don't worry. How about a proper start then?"
>He extends his hoof, smiling with a little more confidence.
>"Energy Surge, you can just call me Surge."
>You grab his hoof, shaking it.
"Vex."
>"Nice to meet you, Vex. Nice rock." He says, pointing out your ring.
>"This him?" Angel asks, moving next to you with a smile.
>"What it the..." Surge says.
>He looks past Angel and to Hunter, the little changeling hiding behind his father.

>>25760634
That would be my son hunter. Say hello to surge hunter. He's going to be living on the ship from now on.

>>25760634
Oh, that's my son hunter, don't worry he's just shy.

Say hi hunter this pony is Mr. Surge and he'll be working with mommy's crew.

Let's also make sure to introduce him to charon so that he can be examined. Hope he's ready to go on his first mission today. Let's ask him what spells he knows.

bump from page 10

>>25762616

>>25760634
"Oh, that's my son, Hunter. Don't worry, he is just shy."
>Surge looks to you, looking surprised and confused.
>"I don't know what has me more... shocked. The baby changeling? Or the fact that a merc ship has a baby aboard it?"
>"What? don't like kids?" Angel asks with a smile.
>"No, kids are cool. Just never expected this."
>"Then trust me, you are in for a wild ride aboard this ship."
>You look to Hunter, smiling.
"Come on, say hello. Mr Surge is going to be part of the crew and help mommy."
>"Hi." Hunter says, waving a hoof from behind Angel.
>Surge smiles, then grins.
>"Okay, that's... cute i suppose."
>He looks to Angel stepping forward and extending a hoof.
>"Surge."
>"Angel. I'm the pilot." Angel says, giving his hoof a shake.
>"And you?" Surge asks, looking at Cobalt and extending a hoof again.
>"Cobalt. Nice to meet you."
>You smile at Surge once the introductions are over.
"So, what spells do you know? i would like to know what i'm working with."
>"Barrier, because i like to run light. Burst, kinda it like a magic bomb i can send out. Electric shock and telekinesis. And a spell i kinda made up, i call it blitz."
"What is blitz like? Never heard of it or burst."
>"I focous my energy and send out physical bots of magic, kinda like magic javelins or spheres. I can hit many targets and impale them. I could give demonstrations without causing damage if need be."

>>25764204
Sure we can do a demonstration.

>>25764204
"How about right now then?"
>"Sure. Might wana get the kid back a little."
>You and the others step back, Hunter keeping behind Angel.
>Surge looks to a wall in the cargo bay, his horn and eye glowing yellow.
>He holds up a hoof, a ball of yellow energy gathering on it.
>Once the ball gets big enough, Surge throws it, the ball flying through the air in an arc.
>It hits the ground and explodes with great force, the force from it pushing against you.
"Was that burst?"
>"Yes. I can change the power, but it only does force. No shapenel like a gernade would. Still could bend a pony's armor though, crush it against them."
"What about blitz?"
>Surge smiles and his horn glows again, his eye doing the same.
>Five magical spikes appear around him, moving to circle his hoof.
>He casts his hoof out and three of the spikes go flying into the wall, bouncing off of it before disappearing.
>Surge fires the last two one at a time, the result being the same.
>"Looks unimpressive now, but that's only because I'm toning it down to avoid damage. These puppies are deadly when they want to be."

>>25764988
Yeah, we really wouldn't to damage anything by accident. I can see their potential though. Cobalt can give him a quick tour of the ship or would he like to walk around and discover things on his own?
We can also mention the rest of the crew.

>>25764988
I'm interested in going somewhere and finding out just how strong you can do a burst.

>>25764988
"Wow. I want to find a place where you can really show off burst."
>"Well... if you do know a place, sure."
>You give a nod, smiling.
"Would you like a tour of the ship?"
>"I'll find my own way. Though, i need to be shown to my room so i know where it is."
"Alright, Cobalt can do that. After that, go to our doctor for an examinaion, please. Her name is Charon. The other crew members are Chaos, Fixer, and Sky."
>"Thanks, i'll go do that now."
>The two of them walk off Cobalt happily leading the way.
>When they go, Angel looks down at Hunter.
>"Not so bad meeting new ponies, right?"

>>25765502
Yeah, he was pretty nice right hunter?

Let's go do our jobs then.

>>25765502
I'm sure he'll grow out of it.
But if not at least he'll have fun working in the engeng room with sky.

Hunter really seems to like to build stuff so maybe he'll end up in a technical field like Sky and Fixer.
A huge nerd.

Anyway time to escort the refugees.

>>25765502
"Yeah, he was nice, right Hunter?"
>Hunter smiles and nods, coming out from behind Angel.
"He will grow out of it soon enough. Or he will be having fun with Sky in the engine room. Who knows? Maybe he will get into a technical field like Sky or Fixer? He likes building things."
>"Not a bad field, something always needs fixing or building."
"True. Come on, it's time we got moving.
>You help get the cargo aboard and go to the bridge, taking off after. You, Hunter, Angel, Chaos, And Cobalt all being on the bridge.
>The door to the bridge opens, Surge wandering in.
>"New member?" Chaos asks.
"Yes, that's Surge. Surge, that's Chaos."
>"Nice to meet ya."
>"Nice to meet you too."
"Like the ship Surge?"
>"Yes, it's smaller then i expected though, the papers make it look bigger."
>"Oh, you read about us?"
>"i recognized the name. So Vex, i wanted to ask, What are we doing today? if anything? And are there ship duties that i should be doing?"

>>25766059
Today we're going to clear a building of mercenaries.
Sky, Angel and Cobalt will be on the ship like last time defending a refugee ship.
Every pony else will be on the ground with me.

For the most part you're free to do as you please on the ship. Clean up any messes you make and be considerate of others though.

>>25766059
"We are clearing out other mercenaries while the others go on a seperate mission. Angel, Cobalt, and Sky will stay while the rest of us deal with them. As for ship duties, feel free to spend your time as you want. the only real rules are don't endanger the crew, and be respectful of others. And clean up a mess if you make one."
>"Alright, if you are sure..."
>"Trust me, don't sweat looking like a lazy... rear. Vex only truly brings down her iron hoof in battle, this is a pretty relaxed ship." Chaos says.
>"Yep! We are like one big family. We play as hard as we work." Cobalt says.
>"Alright then. i'll make sure i am ready."
>Surge walks off, the flight resumeing.
>You eventually arrive at the destination, a big city on a planet.
>You can see many of the tall buildings reaching for space as you land, police vehicles flying over one of them.
>Angel turns after he lands the ship, smiling at you.
>"We are here."
"Thanks Angel. Sindey!"
>"Yes captain Vex?" The filly asks when she appears.
"Gather everypony but Angel, Sky, And Cobalt to the armory."
>"Yes, captain Vex. Does this include the newest crew member?"
"Yes."
>"See you in the armory Vex, tell me what i should bring when you get there." Chaos says, getting up and trotting off.
>As you set Hunter down and get up, Angel gets up too.
>He quickly walks over to you and pulls you in for a deep kiss, quickly wrestling tongues with you.
>He presses his nose to yours when he breaks it, looking into your eyes.
>"Come back safe pretty mare."

>>25767155
A group of mercenaries isn't going to keep me away from you Angel. Give him a hug and a nuzzle. I'm going to be tired though so I'm expecting a hoof massage when I return.
Listen to daddy hunter. Give him a kiss too. mommy loves you.
Chaos should bring his usual gear.
We're going to wear the cloak shield because we have the muffle spell and fixer can take the tank shield.

Let's hope this merc mission will be tons of fun.

>>25767251
"Please, a group of mercinaries isn't going to keep me away from you Angel."
>You hug and nuzzle him, smiling.
"Though i will be tired when i get back, so i'm expecting a hoof massage."
>"Just a hoof massage? Come on, you have more pull then that."
>He lets go of you slightly, smiling as his foreleg rests on your shoulders.
>"But you will get one when you get back, i promise."
>You give him one last kiss and let go, moving to Hunter for a hug.
"Be good for daddy, okay? Mommy loves you and will be back soon."
>"Love my mommy." 'I will be good.'
>You give him a kiss and let go, walking off to the armory.
>As you finish getting equipted, you move to Fixer and give her your shield.
"Here, i'm taking the stealth shield."
>"Sweet! Thanks cap."
>You all exit the ship, ponies looking at you and your armed crew as you step onto the streets.
>You follow the directions and get to the location, arriving at a skyscraper with police vehicles surrounding it.
>"Think this is a bad sign?" Chaos asks, watching a small gunship fly around the building.

>>25768123
It means all the exits are covered and the mercs will have a difficult time escaping. Let's try to find out who's in charge here so that we can go in and maybe even get a number of how many of them are in there.

>>25768123
"It means all exits are covered and the mercs can't escape easily. Come on."
>You proceed to the police line, some officers charging and surrounding you.
>"Freeze! Nopony move! State yoyr intention or lay down your weapons!"
"We are a mercinary group that has been hired to deal with the other mercenaries in that building. Could i please talk to your superior? We mean no trouble."
>"Stand down!"
>Most of the officers lower their weapons, one older pony in armor cutting through and approaching.
>"Are you the leader of this group?"
"Yes, my name is Vex. We are only here for our job."
>The stallion sighs and approaches, giving you a data pad.
>"Prove it."
>You search up the job and show the stallion, waiting as he confirms it and nods to you.
>"Mercinaries are ponies i don't like, but you may be a good thing if you are here to help. you are free to enter, so long as you don't do what these other mercs did."
"What happened?"
>"Passing by civillians got shot and and killed, possibly the same for ponies in that tower. We have tried to make negotiations, but are met with silence and can't proceed in incase they have hostages. This is where you may be a good thing, you are not bound and can enter without the same troubble we have."
"Do you know how many there are?"
>"30 we think, they have turrets placed at entrances too."

>>25768147
6 to 1 huh. We should be able to take care of the turrets with our grenades and shock spell to short circuit it.

>>25769006
"Thanks. Alright everypony, time to get to work!"
>"Good luck. Watch your fire."
>You and your crew are escorted halfway to the entrance to the skyscraper, the pony from earlier turning to you one last time.
>"They should be on the upper floors, in the executive offices."
>You nod and lead your crew to the entrance, peeking around the corner.
>A loud beep sounds before bullets start flying and hitting your shield, two turrets being the source.
>You duck back into cover and look to Chaos, the shooting stopping after.
"Alright Chaos, there is two of them. You blow up the one on the left and i will shock the one on the right."
>"Ready Vex."
>You both run out, hearing the same beep as before.
>You send out a bolt of electricity as Chaos shoots a gernade, both the turrets being taken out of action at the same time.
>As you scan the area for more threats, you see a camera painted at your direction, the light on it blinking.

>>25769857
Wave at the camera. Trot inside the building. We need to find the security room and make them lose vision on us.

let's do this bump.

Good night bump

>>25769915
We're in control here

>>25769857
>You wave at the camera, smiling.
>"Vex, what the?- oh..." Chaos says.
>"What is it?" Fixer asks, looking from arounf the corner.
"Security camera."
>"Ohhhh." Fixer says.
>She sits down in front of the camera, using her two forhooves to make a gesture before getting up.
"Come on. We have work to do."
>"lead on Vex, What's the plan?" Chaos asks.
"Find the security room first, take out their eyes."
>You all proceed in, You and Chaos on point, findng an empty lobby with no map and some blood.
>You spread out to both sides, Chaos being the first one to reach the reception desk.
>He peaks over, silently averting his eyes before looking to some elevators.
>"Proabably a good thing Cobalt isn't here. What do you say Vex? Elevator or stairs?"

both are fixed access, elevators are power controlled, stairs make cramped fighting/ambush areas

>>25774756
I would go with the stairs because I don't want to get stuck in an elevator and then be shot through the doors.

>>25774756
"Stairs. i don't want to get caught in the elevator."
>"Fair enough, let's go."
>You all move to the stairwell, opening the door and clearing the room.
>You look up when it is safe, seeing an almost endless spirial of stairs.
>"Hey Vex." Surge says.
>You turn and look towards him. seeing him hold up a fire plan binder with his magic.
>"Floor 47, building security and maintenance. The rest above is the executive offices, board rooms, and CEO office."
>"I suppose i needed a workout." Chaos says.

>>25776540
Oh god I almost want to go back to the elevator. Let's start walking before I change my mind.

>>25776540
"Oh... my...."
>You sigh and shake your head.
"I'm wanting to go back to the elevator, let's get going before i change my mind."
>"Tough mare like you Vex? Come on, put a smile on that face!" Chaos says, begining to climb the stairs.
>You all begin making your way up the huge flight of stairs, Your legs acheing and burning the higher you go.
>You can feel yourself slow just a tiny bit as you keep going, Chaos seeming to not loose as much energy.
>"What are you on? Roids?" Surge asks, looking at Chaos.
>"Natural endorphins!"
>"Yeah. Right. Got anything in that bag of goodies doc?"
>"No, though i wish i did."
>As you reach the 28th floor, A slaming sound from above catches your attention, a second one coming from below.
>"Move! Go!"

>>25776892
Chaos,me and charon will guard our front and fixer and surge our flank. Chaos use your grenades and Surge your burst. These enclosed quarters are bad for them too.

>>25776892
"Fixer and Surge, guard our rear. The rest with me so we can guard the front. Chaos, use grenades. Surge, use burst."
>You all set up, Surge and Fixer pointing their weapons down the stairs as the rest of you stand next to them with your weapons pointed up.
>You can hear many hoofsteps as you all wait, Chaos fiddling with his launcher.
>Fixer fires a few shots as surge charges his burst, a few of the mercs yelling as they shoot back.
>Chaos aims the launcher at the wall, shadows appearing on it.
>"Smile when you see the flash."
>He shoots a grenade as you catch a yellow light to your right, the round bouncing off the wall and around the corner.
>You catch a yelp just before an explosion goes off, the ground shaking as the right of you becomes a cloud of dust.
>Fixer and Surge back off, a screaming being heard as the dust settles.
>Fixer pokes around the corner and fires a shot, the yelling stopping.
>"So... we don't need to pay for the stairs right?"
>You look around the corner, seeing hald of a dead stallion being crushed under concrete slabs, the stairs above him having a large hole in it.
"Oh F-fuck!" a mare shouts from down the stairs.
>You can hear a scrable of hoofsteps, from down the stairs.

>>25777741
Hopefully we don't need to pay for the stairs. All we were told to do was clear out the mercenaries.

We can keep going up the stairs and if we fly up and then levitate surge we don't need to worry about bringing up the rest of the crew. Just levitate them up here.
Tell the mare to leave the building OR ELSE.

Tell your team to surrender mare!

yeah they'll definitely be making more of a coordinated effort on us now.

up we go to page one.

>>25777741
"Tell the others to surrender! Leave the building and gove up! OR ELSE!"
>"... yikes... i see what was ment by the iron hoof."
>"If you think that is the iron hoof, you are in for a suprise"
>You look back at Chaos and Surge, Chaos grinning at you.
>Turning your attention back to the stairs, you look up, seeing that none of the grounded crew could get by.
"Give me a second everypony, us magic users can levitate the others up once i get Surge up there."
>You take off and get around the pit, Fixer flying up after you.
>Once you levitate surge up, you both help Charon and Chaos up, getting the entire crew back together.
>You all continue up the stairs to the 47th floor, your legs and hooves acheing when you arrive.
>"There... that wasn't so bad." Chaos says, his head looking damp with sweat. "So, security still Vex?"

>>25779925
Yeah, and as soon as we take them out we can start picking them off.

now to find out where they're hiding.

>>25779925
"Yes, let's go."
>You carefully open the door and proceed through, seeing no threats.
>You and Chaos keep on point as you go through floor, an odd silence filling the air as you move.
>You eventually find a sign directing you to the security room, following it down a hall.
>You eventually find the security room door, the door on the right side of the hall as it continues on and braches off.
>You try the door, the door not budgeing.
"Locked."
>"I can hack it." Fixer says.
>She jaba her hoof into the wall pannel, numbers on the pannel screen flashing.
>Four ponies charge out from one side of the hall and behing shooting as Fixer hacks, shots hitting the shields of you and Chaos.
>"Vex! Four on the other side!" Surge shouts, a thunderous crack filling the air as he casts a spell.

>>25780694
Put up a barrier.

>>25780694
>A few more shots hit your shield, causing it to drop.
>You throw up a barrier on the one side of the hall, stopping the shots flying at you and Chaos.
"I got this side!"
>Chaos turns and goes in the other direction, opening fire with his machine gun.
>As your crew shoots in the opposite direction, the ponies shooting your barrier stop firing.
>One of them uses a radio, a unicorn of the group levitating two grenades.
>"Come on you stupid fucking door, just open!"
>You hear Charon shout in pain as the rest of the shooting stops, the unicorn pulling the pins on the grenades.
>"This side is clear Vex! Charon, you alright?"
>The unicorn rolls the grenades towards you, the little devices beeping as they quickly roll towards you and your crew.
>The ponies begin retreating, going back the way they came.

>>25781214
Telekinesis. Throw back.

>>25781214
Throw them back and follow them up with a water jet to disrupt the unicorn's focus and propel them even harder.

>>25781214
>You drop your barrier and throw the grenades back, the explosions from them shortly following as the ponies get out of view.
>"You good Charon?"
>You look back quickly, seeing Charon with two shots in her right foreleg.
>"Yes... just give me a moment." She says, wincing badly and shaking.
>"Got it!" Fixer says.
>The door opens, a struggle being heard when it is open.
>You look inside the security room with your rifle raised, seeing a griffon hold a pony as a shield.
>The pony's legs kick out as the griffion holds the hostage by the neck, a pistol to his head.
>"No sudden movements!"

>>25781732
use water jet to knock them both over and then separate the pony and griffin.

>>25781732
Use TK to point the pistol up then put a round between his eyes. Our horn is already glowing from our spellcasting, he won't notice a new spell in time.

>>25781761
Water jet risks him getting a random shot off.

>>25781804
This

Also Tell Chaos and Surge to watch the hall for reinforcements.

>>25781804
I thought that the water jet would be quicker and more disorienting then the telekinesis. Let's see how this works out though.

>>25781867
It is, but when you have a hostage situation you don't want to give them a chance to pull the trigger. And a twitchy trigger finger would be expected in this situation.

Speaking of playing it safe, if the civvie has no useful information knock it out. Either it's an actual civvie that we don't need running around or it's a merc trying to stay alive with his buddy and we can't trust him running around.

>>25781997
Let's just hope your idea doesn't get the ponies throat slit by griffin claws.

>>25781732
>You quickly torque the pistol with your telekinesis, moving it away from the stallion's head and to the griffon's.
>A loud bang sounds as the griffion's head explodes in a gory mess, the stallion screaming and yelling as he dives under the desk.
"Chaos, Surge, watch for renforcments. Charon, are you alright?"
>"Yes, just... Fixer, some assistance please."
>Fixer moves to Charon, helping her out of the danger of the hall and into the security room.
>Chaos and Surge stay in the hall, keeping guard as you point your rifle over the desk.
"Out, now."
>"I can't" the stallion sobs.
>You carefully move around the corner, the unarmed and unarmored stallion holding a hoof over his bleeding shoulder. Claw makes from the griffion present.
>"Please, don't kill me. i just work here, i don't know what is going on."

>>25782294
We have that heal spell for his shoulder. He should lock the door and stay in here until it's over.

He can't take the stairs down considering we blew it up. or maybe there's somewhere else he can hide?

Let's look at the camera monitors.

>>25782107
If his talons were actually around the pony's neck that would be one of the weirdest hostage taking positions I've ever seen. Not that Water Jet would prevent talon slitting.

>>25782294
We're not going to kill you. Is there anything you can tell us to help free the building?

Fixer, attend to the security console, I want to own this building.

We can cast a healing spell on Charon to help take the edge off.

>>25782294
If they were using bullets we should remove them before using the rapid healing spell on Charon. Otherwise It might get the bullets stuck inside by healing over them.

Let's ask if he's noticed anything on the cameras since he's been in the room the whole time.

>>25783765

>>25782294
"I'm not going to kill you. is there anything you saw or heard? anything you can do to help us free the building?"
>"N-no, he wouldn't let me open my eyes. He either threatened me or punched me. He kept saying to target the magic users a little bit ago. i don't know a thing, i'm just a janitor."
"Hold still."
>You approach the pony, watching him close his eyes and quake in fear.
>He rapidly mumbles some sort of prayer as you cast your healing spell on him, closing his wounds.
>He suddenly relaxes and looks to his shoulder, seeing it is healed.
"Stay put. Fixer!"
>"Yes cap?"
>"Owch!"
>You look over to the two mares, Fixer getting a bullet out of Charon.
"I want you over here to do your thing, i want to own this building. I'll take care of Charon."
>"Got it."
>The two of you switch spots. tears running down Charon's face as she examins her wounds.
>"A lot easier when you have two hooves to work with. I didn't know bullets hurt like this."
"Let me help Charon, did you get all the bullets out?"
>"Yes, the other was a clean exit wound."
>You cast your spell again, healing Charon's leg and feeling fatigued.
>Charon smiles and looks at her leg after, her coat stained pink and red from her blood.
>"I believe i owe you a favour Vex, thank you." she says with a sniffle.
>"Awww, did Vex kiss the bobo better?" Fixer calls out.
>Charon laughs softly, smiling.
>"Yes. Thank you Fixer, your humor is appreciated."
>"Good, i- Ah. Got acess cap... i'm seeing ponies setting up turrets and traps. they are also making barricades by the doors and elevators. they all have mooved to the same floor too i think."

>>25786166
Smart of them to be afraid. But also dumb because we have explosives.
This building have an intercom or something janitor? Is there anyway for me to talk to them?

>>25786166
What floor? Can you use this console as a relay and control it with a datapad?

>>25786166
>You move next to Fixer, looking at the camera feeds.
"Smart they they are scared, stupid that they are all together. What floor?"
>"48th, the executive offices. Place is a wide open area. think i count 20 or so."
"Can we control anything on that floor? route it to a data pad?"
>"We could lock the elevators, though i don't know what good that will do us, they could just hack or blast through it."
>"T-the fire suppression control isn't far from here."
>You look to the janitor, seeing him duck down.
>"Sorry."
"No, what else do you know? is there a way we could talk to them?"
>"Yes, ponies have broadcasted to all floors from the security room before. there should be an intercom that they can use to talk back."

>>25787283
Ask if we could feed off her real quick so we can get some stamina back. All she has to do is think about how she loves chaos or about her unmentionable Internet history.

>>25787283
We get to soak them in water? We should do that then. Maybe
Let's talk to them then. Say hello and ask what they're doing here.

>>25787283
Presumably there's a utility/maintenance map on the computer. See if there's any access from the floors above or below that would let us in behind them.

>>25787283
Tell them if they keep taking hostages we will show no mercy.

>>25787283
"Soaking them might be a good idea."
>"Sounds fun." Fixer says.
"There should be a map of utility or maintenance routes on the computer, see if you can find one."
>"There isn't"
>You look to the janitor stallion, seeing him hang his head when you do.
>"I know this building, the only way to that floor is the elevator, stairs, or fire escape."
>You sigh and nod, looking to the displays as the janitor moves away.
>"Sorry, i'll get out of your way."
>"We could blast through the top." Fixer says.
"Possibly... Fixer, healing Charon and the pony drained me a little, mind if i feed off of you to get some energy back? Just think of Chaos or your search history."
>"Or... i could just stick to thinking about my masters and what they do to me." She whispers.
>You can feel lust from Fixer as she closes her eyes for a moment, getting a blush to her face as you slowly feed off of her and begin to help your fatigue.
>Fixer glances up at you, blushing worse as she bites her lip, adjusting her armor where it covers her neck.
>You keep feeding, using the intercom.
"Hello. i know you can hear me."
>The mercinaries look aroud breifly, keeping their attention to the doors.
"I can see you have barricaded yourselves on the same floor. Care to talk and answer why you are here?"
>The mercenaries all hold steady, keeping watch on the doors.

>>25787860
Alright. This is how it's going to be. You put your weapons down and leave the room then you'll be spared. After that it's guaranteed death. You have 10 minutes to think about it.

would it be possible to go to the 42nd floor and put bombs on the ceiling to blow up the floor from underneath them and causing them to fall?

>>25787860
"Alright. Fine. Here is how it is going to be. Put down your weapons and walk out now, you will get your lives in return. After ten minutes has passed, any who remain will die. Choose your fates wisely."
>"The mare doesn't lie! Be lucky we didn't bring the tank cannon or our sniper with us! you wouldn't get this chance!" Fixer adds. "You are sorrounded by cops! should you survive us, they would kill you if you tried to get out!"
>You shut the intercom off, finishing feeding off of Fixer.
"Thanks Fixer."
>"Hey, extra good points for me. And, any time cap."
>You begin to wait down the time, seeing the mercenaries talk amongst themselves as they watch for you.
"Could we make them fall from the 42nd floor?"
>"Yes, we could also blast underneath them. But shit cap, you want to drop them five floors? does Chaos have enough grenades?"
>One of the mercenaries throws down their guns, two others joining her.
>As they begin to walk, they are shot at by their comrades.
>The mare charges for the door to the stairway and opens it, triggering a set trap.
>The camera feed goes blank, an explosion making the walls shake a little.
>A fire alarm begins ringging, a spout on the roof soaking you and your crew.
>"Whelp." Fixer says.

>>25788612
We should get up there now then. Let's take the elevator though and stop at like the 40th floor and then walk the rest of the stairs.

>>25788612
Geez and people call us ruthless.

Well, fuck it, if we got the explosives lets drop these fuckers.
Ask Chaos if he has what we need.

But first we should probably ask the janitor if the building was supposed to be empty before the attack started. If hes the only one we can send him out of the building.

I'd rather not end up like these guys because we accidentally killed a hostage.

>>25788612
"And ponies call us ruthless."
>You look to the janitor, moving to him.
"Are there any other ponies in this building? was it ment to be empty?"
>"No, it was a regular buisness day, offices were full. They just came in and started shooting. Some ran and others hid."
"Do they have more hostages?"
>Fixer moves back to the displays, looking back to you and shaking her head.
>You move outside, next to Chaos
"Chaos, i want to blow out the floor from under these guys, could we do that with the explosives we have?"
>"i need to know what i am working with."
>You bring Chaos to the display, watching as he nods his head.
>"Yeah, i could do that. would use the rest of the explosives up, but would give them a hell of a surprise."

>>25789393
We can always buy more explosives. alright then, let's go and fire at any pony we see.

>>25789393
"We can buy more. let's do this."
>You safely escort the janitor to the elevator, evacuating him to safety.
>Once he is safe, you all begin coordinating, Chaos placeing some of the grenades near walls and pillars that make up the supports.
>"Everypony get back, It is going to get dangerous as hell."
>You all hide behind a wall, Chaos finishing up the placement.
>He moves back to you and the rest of the crew, loading one shot into the launcher.
>"Cover your ears everypony."
>You place your hooves over your ears, watching as Chaos fires the shot.
>The explosion that follows is near deafening, Chaos doving for cover as it goes off.
>Through your ringing ears, you hear a crash and look around the corner.
>You see most of the mercenaries in the middle of the room, hurt or dazed as they stuble to their hooves.
"Fire!"
>All of your crew opens fire as the mercinaries try to get their bearings, seven of them being killed.
>Six of them are still on the upper floor opening fire as the dust settles and they see you.

>>25791077
Surge! use your blades! Chaos and fixer help him in finishing off ponies!
Charon fire at the ceiling with me!

>>25791077
"Surge, use blitz! Chaos, Fixer, Support him! Charon shoot above!"
>You and Charon open fire, hitting the ponies above.
>As the both of you shoot, you see yellow spikes flying out, watching them skewer ponies or pin them to objects.
>You keep your focous on the ponies above, switching between your shotgun and plasma rifle as you shoot.
>The ponies fall quickly, then one by one, the combined effort of your crew easily killing the hurt and dazed ponies.
>Your shield breaks as your crew then starts supporting you and Charon, finishing off the last few ponies as you move to take cover.
>An intense pain shoots up your leg as you shout out, a laser beam grazing your leg as you finish getting into cover.
>"Shit, you okay Vex?" Fixer asks.
>Chaos runs out, checking the floor above through the hole.
>"Clear! You good Vex?"

>>25791878
I'm ok but god damn does this hurt.
Chaos and fixer, go upstairs and make sure there's no pony left up there.
surge, guard we and charon.
though I think we can go down now and tell them that everyone is dead. We can also use the elevator without worry.

>>25791878
I have plenty of holes in my legs a new one ain't going to kill me.

Let's just head up stairs and clear the rest of these fuckers.
Be mindful of turrets.

>>25791878
"A new hole in my leg won't kill me, but damn does it hurt. Chaos and Fixer, go upstairs and check to see if they are all dead. Watch for the turrets."
>"Yes."
>"Will do cap!"
>"What about me?" Surge asks.
"Guard me and Charon while she looks at my leg."
>As Chaos and Fixer take off, you lay on your side, letting Charon look at your leg.
>She tuts, pouring on some potion that make you gasp in pain.
>"Sorry Vex. The bad news is that you need to wait for the ship to get back for proper pain medication. The good news is that it is hardly serious, with this it will be healed when you awake, and your husband is going to be all over you with attention."
>You hear a loud thump as she wraps your leg with a bandage, looking over to see Chaos as he lands after jumping through the hole in the roof.
>"Good news cap! that's all of them." Fixer says, flying down.
"Good, and the turrets?"
>"Blown up or faced at the other doors. they are disabled."
"Good. let's tell the ponies outside it is safe..."
>Chaos helps you walk to the elevator, all of you riding it down.
>When you all get back to the lobby, you all step outside slowly, headding to the police line.
>The pony from earlier approaches you, looking surprised.
"Building should be clear, just watch for turets or traps that we may have missed."
>He gives a signal, teams of police moving in as he turns back to you.
>"Thanks. You doing okay?"

>>25792721
In pain but it's bearable. As soon as we get to the ship we can send the message that the job is completed.

>>25792721
"It hurts, but it is managable. Hope you can handle the rest."
>"We will, be safe."
>You all eventualy make it back to the landing port, waiting about an hour before the Artemis arrives.
>The ship lands and the cargo door opens down, letting you climb aboard.
>You see the cargo still aboard as you get on, the sound of small hooves filling the air.
>"Seeing as you are about to be bussy, i'll get you the pain medicine Vex." Charin says.
>"And i'll send a report, both of them won't leave you alone now." Chaos says.
>As he finishes, Hunter appears from around the corner, smiling widely at you.
>"Mommy!"
>He carefuly gets down the steps one at a time, Angel trotting up behind him.
>The both of them move to you, Hunter running as Angel trots.
>Hunter hugs your leg, Angel moving to you and looking at your back leg with a frown.
>"You are needing much more then a hoof massage.... " He says, giving you a kiss.

>>25793267
You mean like a full body massage? Charon said I will be fine.
Hey hunter, I missed you. did you listen to everything daddy said?
how'd the mission go?
Guess we'll just wait for charon to show up.

>>25793267
"Like a full body massage?"
>Angel smiles and nods.
>"What ever my mare needs, she did all the heavy lifting today i bet. You gonna be okay?"
"Yes, Charon said i would be."
>You turn your attention to Hunter, hugging him back.
"I missed you Hunter. Were you good? Did you listen to daddy?"
>'Yes.'
>"Yes he did, he was very good."
"Good. How was the mission?"
>"We came under attack twice. Things got a little too close for comfort, but we did it. And, Hunter was very brave during the attacks."
>Charon appears shortly, giving you a bottle.
>"Here Vex, take these when you feel pain."
"Thanks Charon."
>You quickly take a pill, having a tiny bit of trouble swallowing it.
"So, last delivery, and then does my mare want that massage? or do we have other things?"

>>25794079
I'll take that massage thank you and we could have just held the bottle and gotten a glass of water. Oh well.
Let's go to our room and then ask for some water. Then we can deliver this cargo and call it a day. Have you seen surge yet Charon?

I think we should buy a shield for Charon because protecting your medic is important. I think we should get her a quick recharge shield.

>>25795476
that's good thinking

>>25794079
"Yes, last delivery, then we can call it a day."
>"I'll get is going then, come on Hunter."
>You head for the mess and get a bottle of water, putting your equipment away after.
>You then head for the bridge and climb into your chair, the ride going smoothly and quickly.
>You finish the delivery, starting to go back to Trident after you recieve the payment.
>As you check the accounts, you see that all jobs have paid, every single credit being there.
>You look to Charon as she reads a book, taking a sip of water before you speak.
"Charon, have you seen surge yet?"
>She looks up and smiles, nodding.
>"Yes, i already gave him a full examination."
"Good."
>Angel looks to you, Hunter piloting in his lap.
>"We aren't far now, how about you go lay down Vex? i'll be up to care for you soon."

up

>>25796669
I guess we can take a nap just as long as someone wakes us up in case trouble starts.

>>25796669
Let's go lay down!

>>25796669
Before we go on any missions tomorrow I want to go somewhere where nothing will get damaged and see just how strong surge's attacks can get.
