PLOT:

14 Years after the world’s natural resources are all but extinguished, and war has broken out over what materials and fertile land remains, the world has been plunged into nuclear armageddon.

 

The world is nothing but dust-covered ruins, fallout and ruined buildings comprising the landscape. Few life forms have been left alive; the explosions that destroyed the world sparing only the few that were lucky enough to escape into underground bunkers or well protected caves.

You, and a couple dozen others, are members of a large, abandoned military bunker, known colloquially by its inhabitants as “Eden.” It has most of the modern amenities that any post-apocalypse bastion of life would need; hydroponic farms, water filters, solar generators, and as luck would have it, a couple weapons.
After the first few ponies from Eden decided to try trekking into the ruins to scout for any signs of life, they were met with… less than preferable faces.

 

Mutated organisms roam the ruins in packs, hunting down the last things that haven’t been horribly mutated by the radiation. The ponies of Eden were able to fight them off for a little while, but soon, ammunition was running low, farms were becoming less reliable, and mutant creatures began hunting nearer and nearer to Eden’s entrance.

 

That’s where you come in.

 

The people of Eden have come to an agreement that as long as there is little ammunition, there is little hope in fighting off mutants. So, the group decided that the best option would be to send out the fastest, most intelligent, and those best trained in melee combat to go out into the ruins, sidestepping the mutants, gathering ammunition to fight them, and also gathering other important supplies, such as canned goods, non-radioactive books, tools, and other necessities.

You have been selected to become a runner, with a squad of five other ponies. You may be scared, you may be excited, or you may not even care.

But what none of the new Runners know is the new danger that is rising, and what they are about to uncover…

((BELOW THE LINE IS WHERE THE RP BEGINS. PLEASE KEEP OOC IN DOUBLE PARENTHESIS. 

 

The RP will start in Eden, on the day of the selection of Runners.

 

If you want to join, fill out an application in the application thread and post it there.))

 

The low hum of the electric ceiling fixtures coming to life slowly woke Doc, who was sleeping peacefully in his room with three other ponies. He didn't know them that well, but that didn't matter much to him, as the bunks here were far more comfortable and safer than anything outside of Eden. Despite the fact that he would probably never see the outside world again, and he would see the same grey steel walls for the rest of his life, he was glad to live out his life without the constant threats of the outside world.

 

"Rise and shine, ladies and gents. We're about to tell who made the first Runner squad." A mare with short-cropped hair spoke, turning on the lights in the room before leaving to the main hall. 

 

Doc groaned. If there was one thing he missed from the old world, it was a full night's sleep. Now, ponies were woken earlier, as there were many things to take care of in the bunker. Crops, repairs, refueling generators, and of course; today, at least, the choosing of Runners.

 

Doc didn't know much about the choosing, neither did anypony else in the bunker, except that it was decided that ponies who used to be military strategists and generals would gather and choose the first squad from the most intelligent, strong, and fast of the ponies of Eden. Doc had a bad feeling that he would be picked, but if staying in Eden meant going to the wastelands every day to grab a few cans of spinach, it was fine by him. He readjusted his patchwork lab coat, placing on his glasses and rising from the bed, grunting when a flash of pain hit his back from getting up too fast.

 

"You heard the mare, we should be prompt." He said, waiting for his fellow bunk-mates.

 

((I suppose the other characters can either be in their own bunks or in Doc's. Hope you all enjoy the RP :D))

Silver Wings was already awake when the mare came in and told them to get up. He decided to polish his dagger to make sure it was perfectly clean. He examined it in his hoof, balancing it perfectly. This weapon was weighted perfectly for throwing, easy enough to conceal and sharp enough to cut through nearly anything. He slipped the dagger back into its sheath and then put on his light battle plates which has his Sergeant stripes on the shoulder pieces. They'd began to fade, it's not like rank meant much anymore, he got the respect of anypony in his position. He had skills which were vital to survive in this new World and he enjoyed teaching them. To finally be able to get out of the bunker and see how everything had changed thrilled Silver, he knew what to expect mostly, he'd seen plenty of destruction in his time.

 

The slightly pale Unicorn on the bunk next to him got up. I don't know any of these ponies but if they're here then they must show promise, i'll treat them like any other Civilian until then... 

 

"Yeah sure, let's go." He walked along next to the Unicorn "Names Silver Wings by the way, thought we should all get friendly with each other, who knows, we might all end up on the same squad..."

"I'm coming I'm coming, just give me a minute" Jani groaned "What's so special about this squad anyway? Doesn't sound too good going outside when you could stay here. I mean; I'd do it if I was picked but still, it just seems dangerous"

"You can call me Doc." The unicorn said, extending his hoof.

 

"It's nice to actually talk to somepony in my bunk for once." He thought out loud, but it sounded enough like a response to not sound awkward. He hadn't talked much to his bunk mates, not because he was shy, or he didn't trust them, he just never found reason to. 

 

He looked to Jani.

 

"Because this bunker won't support us forever. The farms won't always give good harvests, the doors won't hold forever, and it's a fact that we need oil to run the generators. We need to run into the wastes to get these things, unfortunately."

"Nice to meet you Doc" He took the Unicorns hoof and shook it "I know what you mean, it's good to be back to doing more than just teaching." He looked Doc over quickly to try and asses what kind of pony he was... Obviously rather Medical, seems intelligent, trustworthy? Well i'll find out won't I. 

 

He looked at Jani "Yeah and we might find other survivors. There were a lot of these bunkers spread out across Equestria" That and I might find Mum and Dad... "And like Doc said we need the supplies, ponies here and depending on the Runners to survive." He also looked over Jani Fairly muscular, possibly a laborer, attitude suggests negativity. What would Deja do? I'm being a pessimist, don't judge a book by its cover Silver...

 

"Danger comes with the world we live in now, it's unavoidable whatever we do. And i'd personally go down fighting mutants than starving to death..."

"Agreed. I've never seen mutants from outside, but from what I've heard, no two mutants are the same, some fly, some spit... but I digress. Should we help that mare gather up the rest of the ponies?" Doc suggested.

On the other side of the room, a blue pony was rolling in his bed. "So, it's time to see who's Running then...?" he yawned out to the room. Blinking away his sleepiness, Toryl searched his sheets for his most important possession. The electric baton wasn't very efficient; a lot of electricity was wasted with each shock, but it would be his most important weapon if he was picked. And who knows? I could get picked. Anyone could. 

 

Putting the baton's glove over his hoof, he rolled out of bed and, steadying himself, walked over to the ponies talking. "So, sorry if I get this wrong, I'm not a morning guy, but you did say your names were Doc, Silver and... uh... what did you say?" Toryl asked indicating the other earth pony.

"Sounds good too me, the other bunk room's just around the corner." He made sure he had all his belongings with him and his gear was fitted properly "Alright let's go see who else is coming with us. You two can finish getting ready and come round in a bit if you'd like."

Doc knocked on the doors as he followed the other ponies, waking the ponies that the mare hadn't.

 

"So... is anypony here actually willing to be picked?" He asked, trying to make short conversation.

Toryl trailed behind the others. Although he looked peppy, he was actually quite nervous. As he continued to wake up, he realized just how many older ponies were here. Toryl was barely coming out of his teens. Most of the ponies he could see looked at least 20. He shook his head. It won't help my nerves to think about it. Maybe if I consider my TAB instead. Maybe if I get a less shoddy capacitor...  As he thought, he turned his hoof and looked carefully at the device it wore. He would've made more to use against the mutants, but it took too long to get this one prototype to work. If I keep working on it, it won't be a prototype anymore. It'll be the TAB Mk I. 

 

Looking up from his device, Toryl responded "I volunteered for this when I heard about it. Wasn't quite expecting all this, but if it helps Eden, I'm in." Now Toryl felt as peppy as he had made himself look. He worked hard to help Eden in every way he could. Joining the Runners is just another way to do that. "Hey, what was your name? Did you say it earlier?" he asked the other earth pony.

James woke up, his eyes quickly swiveling around, like if he had just woke up of a nightmare. He jolted up, hitting his head on the bunkbed above him. "Ugh.. Ow.." James let out a small groan, followed by a shiver and a yawn. He got out of the bed, aand looked at doc, as he made a question. He was a bit sleep deprived, but he still answered the question. "Well, i wish i could be picked, so i can actually do something else rather then fuck around in this boring ass bunker.."

"I've got some reasons to get out there, plus I know some of the old access codes to the old bunkers which will come in handy. Being stuck teaching for so long's made me bored now. And hey like you said I'd rather do anything else" Silver walked up to the pony which just banged his head "James, right? You ok?"

Majstro wasn't in the room. She, instead, was in her own room. No one else slept there, apparently being around her "creeped them out" or some shit. She didn't care, others dragged her down. She didn't sleep that night, a common occurrence. She'd stayed awake working on her designs. She sometimes felt she was the only one who was planning ahead, everyone else was simply content to suckle themselves on the teats of the ruins, scavenging supplies that weren't going to last forever. She, for one, actually knew how to create ammo, how to disassemble and reassemble almost every firearm they had in the shithole they called a home. Of course, they wouldn't provide her with gunpowder because they felt she'd do something crazy with it. She dodged around these by designing a firearm that operated on bullets powered by pressurised gas. That was why she'd stayed up, to work on this odd looking firearm.

 

She liked the design. Easy to cycle, resistant to the effects of the gas inside. Sure, if she didn't wear that gas mask all the time she'd end up poisoning herself while using it, but she wore it, so what did she care? She had put the barrels in place, that was easy. Unfortunately, it was hard to get firearm parts when they didn't want anyone disassembling their guns. And there was no way in hell she was gonna disassemble her pa's shotgun.

 

She was actually kind of hoping to get picked. She wanted to help, and that wasn't something she could do if her designs never got created. She could hear the little conversations going on next door. At least those idiots weren't like the others, so content to sit on their asses and not put forward the work that Eden so desperately needed. She could get along with them just fine.

"Nice to meet you Jani. I'm Toryl," Toryl responded. "To be honest, I haven't really talked to anyone here that much. And thanks for the support. You too." After considering Jani's profession, he inquired "Hey, if you work on the farm, maybe I can help you. I make and repair machines to help Eden, so if there's a problem, maybe I can do something." Toryl was fairly introverted, but on certain topics, that would never be evident. The welfare of Eden, the state of the rest of the world, mechanical engineering; that one especially. He loved working with technology, trying to make neat little gadgets or upgrade other machines. He often challenged himself to make something out of random pieces of scrap he left lying around his workshop. Most projects became toys, which he gave away to the foals, but others he turned into tools. Some of which he relied on above traditional tools to continue his craft.

Potipah shot a far-away mutant in the back of the head with her sniper rifle then looked at the two bullets left that she had sat on the roof. She'd lost track of her ammo, again. She'd have to go and try to find more, again. She'd have to go and pay an obscenely expensive price for a new box, again. A groan escaped from her mouth producing a cloud of mist that lingered in the cold air. She put the two bullets into the small leather pouch on her back.

 

The cream-coated mare stood up and brushed the frosty dust off of her soft-furred belly. As she stood up, the sun peeked over the edge of the horizon, almost blinding her. Oh man, was it warm all of a sudden.

 

Wobbling her gas mask around a bit to check it was secure, she backed up and went down a ladder from the tin roof she was on. A few rungs from the ground, she hopped down then turned and walked back to the bunker. They'd all be up by now: Doc, James, Jan, Silver, Toryl, Maj, Prez and Strike. Well, those were the names she knew. Guard duty was over for now. She knew a reward was unlikely, but it was just nice to have a bit of alone time. Eden felt like it got more crowded by the day.

 

 

She found her way back to Eden pretty easy. It might not stick out, but she'd been here long enough to know what she was doing, where she was going. Hell, a lot of the time it was all pretty repetitive, but today the Runners would be announced. Either they'd be some poor souls going out as bait or a sacrifice of the best. For once she was glad she didn't know what the superiors were thinking.

 

((Yes she knows the names of ponies, yes you can interact with her now cos she's in the main room of the bunker now))

"I just hope that whatever happens, we find something else like Eden out there. We can't be all that's left..." Doc started to trail off when he saw Potipah come back, her gas mask still on. She looked busy, so he decided that it was probably best not to bother her. She did just get back in from outside, after all.

 

((Well Squint just got off so let me fix that.))
 

Doc saw that James finally got up, so he decided to chat with him instead.

 

"Morning, James. Ready to hear who got picked?"

"I don't mean to sound cocky but i'm an obvious choice. My prior military knowledge and clearance means i know a lot about the installations we could raid. Doc is also a good choice as we'd need a Medic on the team due to the hazardous conditions of our job. Potipah is a crack shot and can put that rifle of hers to good use..." He said this while staring at her walk in Speak of the devil... "Honestly everypony here shows promise and a set of skills that would possibly be required or be essential to the success of our mission, plus who knows what we'll find out there now." He saw Potipah just behind Doc moving through the room "Hang on i'll be back in a bit..." He walked away from Doc and James to walk next to her "Hey Potipah, how was guard duty?"

Strike sat there on his cell, he wasn't sure what would happen today. He overheard a couple of ponies speaking of a selection for Runners. Apparently said selection is today. "How do they pick these ponies are they willing to do it I wonder, seems like a very foolish thing to do" After finishing his monologue Strike went back to his bed and there he stood until further notice.

"Yeah, yeah.. Good i'm going to look around, probably interact with something, Dunno. See you all in a bit guys." And with that, he scooted out of the room, into a hall, and wandered for a bit, before finding the "Prison" Cells. "Wow. This place looks like shit." He looked around, and saw a few ponies inside the cells. "Oh would you look at that. I never knew there was actual ponies in here. Wow." He shook his head, examining the cells further.

"Keeping your butts safe from spooky scary mutants. It was fun!" Potipah laughed from underneath her gas mask, making a slightly muffled but still audible sound. She then pulled the gas mask off her face with a satisfying 'pop' sound and a big cloud of orange dust. Pulling away from the dust, she coughed then waved her hoof in the air. "Yes I rolled around in the dirt. My ear was itchy and I couldn't get it from under the mask."

 

While taking off her mask, the two bullets jingled in her pouch. "Oh yeah, I'm out of bullets, but the area's reasonably clear up there. It's also pretty warm today, not that that's unusual."

Strike observed the yellow pony wondering through the cell block like it was some kind of amusement park. He sighted is this really what security had become... " Hey Kid'' Strike shouted ''Come over here!'' Getting up he got close to the actual bars of the cell ''You wouldn't happen to be guard on duty right now would you?''

"Plenty of em'. The sky's pretty clear the now though, air's hot and dry. You been outside recently?" Being from Trottingham, Potipah was really enjoying this conversation about weather and hoped it'd continue for as long as possible. In some weird way, she missed the big sloppy raindrops of her home town.

Precision Cut yawned, stretching her hooves out as her alarm went off for the fith time. Groggily raising her head, she read the time.

She was late. Eyes widening, Prez flopped out of the bed, dragging the thin sheet with her. Pushing it to the side, she rose, still wobbley to her hooves. Dragging an old, broken comb through her long, purple hair, she whipped a hairband on.

Stumbling out into the corridor, her adrenaline rush spent, she made her way to the meeting ponies, as quickly as the half-awake unicorn could muster. Oh no.

Her knives were resting on her shelves. Staggering back to her room, she grabbed them in her magic and ran, frequently stumbling. Ah. There was Doc.

"Mornin," she mumbled, rubbing sleep out her eyes.

Feather stood outside the building that housed the would-be-Runners, watching the citizens of Eden go by on their daily business. The sight struck a familiar chord, one that she was not keen to remember. After all, it had only been several weeks ago when she had finally stumbled upon Eden itself, completing the week long journey that had been started by a hopeful band of migrants, and finished by her alone.

 

She breathed a sigh, looking around. Several weeks had not been enough to dull the ache of her old home, nor had it been enough to get to know the occupants of the base, but it was enough. Today, according to the notices she had seen plastered around the area, was the day they chose the Runners, what Eden called their foragers, scouts and scavengers.

 

It was not like what she knew from before, but it was what she had done.

 

Spreading her wings, Feather gave them a shake, checking that the blades mounted on each of her primary feathers was aligned and clean. Several passing ponies gave her strange looks and angled away, but she paid them no mind. If there was one thing that had kept her alive while her comrades had perished, it was these weapons, and none other.

 

Satisfied, she resumed her pace, heading up the steps of the building. Her wings closed behind her, making a distinct snip not unlike the sound of a pair or scissors closing as the individual blades slid back into their original positions. The place was packed, which was expected for such a large event, but the crowd scarcely bothered her as she made a path past them, heading for where the candidates were gathered at the opposite end.

 

Today was going to be a long day.

James looked at Precision, smiling slightly. "You gon' sleep on the job next, Prezz?" He asked, a hint of taunting in his voice. "I've been training since i got to Eden for this moment, and i'm confident as hell i'll be picked." He smiled, leaning on a nearby wall. "Hmm.. This place looks bustling." He grabbed his gun, twirling it around.

((Isn't eden, like, a big vault with farms and a perimeter and stuff on the top but most of it's underground right? 

 

Then again, maybe the building where the runners are picked is outside, I don't know))

 

Majstro stopped examining the half assembled firearm. She didn't have the parts to finish it right now and she should just come to terms with that. She examined the leather belt she wore when exploring. It held the firearm she had, along with her very, very limited ammo. She wrapped it around her chest. She was wearing nothing but her vest and gas mask at this point. She buckled the belt, then placed her armor vest round her neck, followed by her under jacket, and then finally her cloak. She placed her hoof on her mask, then hesitated. After a few seconds she took it off, revealing her scarred face to the wall, and then she shoved a pill into her mouth and swallowed, before placing her mask back on. She grabbed her spear, which was practically just a metal stick at that state, and she stepped into the hall.

He finished, putting the gun back in its holster. " I need a better gun, this shit is probably older then me, and it jams alot.." He frowned, a little angry expression on James's face.

"You're lucky. I didn't even have a gun. I'm not the best shot, either." Doc commented. He was reminded of the few times when his poor shot costed an ally's life, and he frowned a little.

 

There was some commotion coming from further down the hall, where the populace had gathered.

 

"Ladies and gentlecolts! We are about to announce the first runner squad!" The deep, but charismatic voice of Artemis called out.

 

Artemis was a middle-aged pegasus, with a dark brown coat and a short cropped, blonde mane. His cutie mark was a map with small blue and red pieces on it, showing his prowess in military strategy. He used to be a commander, but was unable to participate in the war that brought about the end of civilization. While his primary skill was being a tactician, some ponies in Eden had begun to trust him, as he had saved Eden more than once in the past. He developed the work-to-rations system that Eden lives by, and he even developed the Runner program. 

 

"We better hurry, don't want to miss the naming." Doc said, trotting in the direction of the noise.

Feather watched as the cerulean unicorn trotted past, clearly giving her a wide berth as she levitated her knives high in the air. As if in response, she rustled her wings, watching as the blades chimed. For some strange reason, other ponies assumed that they were still dangerous when folded, and therefore stayed away from her flanks.

 

Either way, if it meant she had more breathing space in the crowd, she was all for it. Glancing at the other candidates, she quickly took stock, giving them a quick once-over with her trained eye. What she saw didn't do much to raise her hopes.

 

Judging by the optimism some of them had, they clearly didn't know what they were getting themselves into.

He's a bit of a grumpy bastard so don't expect much chat with him.' "Yeah like i'd be chatting with a prisoner anyways" he said aloud.

"If i had my way you would be put down. I've heard all about what you do to Runners. In fact a good friend of mine never made it back from a scavenging run. He might have been killed by mutants but I have a feeling it was something else..." He called over one of the guards who opened the cell door for him. He walked inside and the door was secured shut behind him. "I have no fucking idea why you've been kept alive this long... But apparently they're giving you a choice. Due to your skill set and your experience of the world outside of Eden they've allowed your freedom... That is, if you become a Runner..." He let that sink in with the Bat pony, half hoping him to say no...

Strike stood there for a few seconds thinking on what the pony just said. " Hold grudges if you like, but if your friend did die by my hooves rest assure it wasn't personal only business. On the outside morals and law hold no place." The guard opened the door and Strike got out. "It appears your leaders believe I can make Runners not as worthess as they are now, verywell I will do it, but I will not be held responsable by their foolishness that will probably lead to their deaths." Strike streched his wings " Lead the way"

"But if you betray us or try anything funny then I WILL put you down, regardless of what my superiors think... Understood?" He sheathed the blade and turned around. "Come on then, everypony else should be there by now."

Glancing back, Precision saw a pegasus with wing-blades behind her, a gap forming in the crowd around them. The blades, she knew from her time as a blacksmith, were pretty good quality.

"Nice wing-blades. I've never made a pair myself, but I've seen them on the military before. Where'd you get a pair?" Precision commented.

Feather turned around to the source of the question, slightly surprised by the suddenness. Then again, her blades did attract attention, so it was almost to be expected.

 

"Father's gift, I suppose." Extending a wing carefully as not to skewer anypony adjacent, she gave the blades a slight tap with her forehoof.

 

"Last pair he forged before the... incident."

 

Turning back to the cerulean mare, she resumed, folding her wing back with a soft metallic jingle.

 

"I'm actually quite surprised you know what they are, seeing that I've never seen a set out there besides my own."

"I'm Precision Cut. Used to be a blacksmith before the war. Now, theres not much I can do, so I need to be a runner, or I'm suckling off of the generosity of Eden. And you are?"

Those are some cool looking weapons.. Oh.. Hi Prezz." James turned to prezz, not noticing her, and completley disrupting the conversation. "Well, so i guess you too are a candidate for the runners team, damn, you look badass."

"Feather Flight. I suppose-"

 

Feather lifted her hoof in response, but was cut off by a yellow stallion who gave her only a brief acknowledgement before proceeding to completely change the topic. She let the rest of the sentence trail off into nothingness.

 

"...I suppose you could have called me a runner of Altocumulus Landing before the site was ditched."

 

Shaking her head, she turned around, moving back into the crowd. Indeed, several weeks did not do much good for recognition among others. Taking one final glance back at the pair, she turned her attention to the stage.

 

Let them talk. She would meet them on the field when the time came, anyways.

Two ponies were on the small stage, set up in the meeting center. One was Artemis, the second was a dark blue unicorn mare with a piercing gaze, known as Stargazer. She used to be an astronomist, but now she watches the security systems of Eden, as well as commanding small squads of anti-mutant soldiers. Nonetheless, she does participate in a fair amount of politics.

 

"Mares and Stallions, the ponies for the first Runner squad are about to be selected! If your name is called, please report to the armory immediately." The mare took a small piece of paper out and began reading.

 

"The ponies of the first Runner squad include; Heartbreaker, New Leaf, Trickshot, James Ein, Potipah, Jani Anjou, Silver Wings, Toryl, Majstro, Strike, Precision Cut, Flight Feather, Doc, and Sparks." The mare put the paper away, while the crowd cheered the newly appointed Runners.

 

Doc said nothing when his name was called, as the reality of the situation hit him. With that many ponies, it's likely that they expected a few to die. Maybe they wanted some to die, so the toll on their food stores wouldn't be as bad. He trotted silently to the armory, a look of terror on his face as he pondered what mutant would end up killing him.

((How can feather have been called to be a runner when no one knows who she is?
 

Maybe the way she is a runner can be that new people have to do a run when they first arrive or something))

 

Majstro had no idea she'd been called out. She never went to the meeting center. The only reason she'd left the room was to go for a piss and get some materials from the smithy. 

 

She headed to the blacksmith first. She really felt blacksmith wasn't the correct term, it was a rare occurrence where the bastards there actually did any smithing, usually it was just taking bits of found metal and reusing them.

 

She went there often, either way, and the pony who worked at the front saw her often.

 

"Oh, hello Majstro" He greeted as he polished a knife "I'm guessing you're here for some scrap? Well, grumpy old Balthasar went to the meeting hall and left me here alone, so you might have to wait a little bit"

 

Majstro shrugged "Not an issue" She replied in her monotone voice, sitting down on the nearest chair. It was old, rotting, but none of that bothered her.

 

((Balthasar is one of the smithy dudes))

"Thank the stars..." Precision Cut whispered as she hurried towards the armory, trying to avoid James, or anyone who had heard her outburst (which, looking back, had probably been half of Eden. She knew she could die out there, but it was better than staying cooped up in the Eden,
waiting, hungry, whilst the mutants slowly battered themselves against the defenses.

Wait. Thinking back over who else had been picked, she realised that James would be part of her Runner squad, as he had predicted. There went any chances of avoiding him.

Precision was so lost in her thoughts, that she didn't even realise when she reached the armory.

"Outstanding..." Time to go to work then. Silver thought about what his first mission would be. He hoped he'd be going far away from Eden, so he could take a look at more than what was outside the walls. His wings ached to fly, he wanted to get out there, scout around, take down some mutants and do the job right. Wait do we have a squad leader? I'm not taking orders from some civilian. No offense to them... He thought about going to ask Artemis but then decided not to bother them. Silver saw Doc heading towards the armory and decided to follow him. He was the only pony he managed to keep a good conversation with, other than that Bat pony. And he wasn't too keen on making friends with him...

Strike scratched his head. ''It beats being executed... '' Strike sighted turning around and walking to the armory Still I wont be a lap dog for this poor excuse of society They think I should bring supplies to them just because, they got another thing coming at best I can prevent one or two of the other Runners from dying, which leads to a completely different problem.... This scouting group is huge.. I don't expect half of them to survive first night and I think the people running this place don't expect either. 13 ponies... Sneaking around with be nearly impossible.

 

Without noticing Strike reached the armory seeing a couple of ponies he had seen before. The soldier boy is here... No surprise there, he's probably one of the few that might... And I can't stress might enough... Survive... And apparently that yellow shit is also here, which makes you wonder what sort of test these idiots need to pass to get to be a Runner... Or maybe the maybe the ponies who run this place think he is a useless waste of space and are just sending him to die....

Silver began assembling his full battle plates and picked up his pistol examining it closely. It was a standard M9 Semi-automatic 9mm pistol. He loaded 10 spare mags into his belt and saddle packs along with some MRE's, a canteen, a small cooker, a basic first aid kit, some spare filters for his gas mask and the piece itself. He loaded a mag into the M9 with a satisfying 'click' and cocked the weapon loading a round into the chamber. Holstering the weapons securely to his belt he turned to see Strike walk in.

 

"You're gear's in the locker next to mine Bat." Silver shouted "Oh and i believe you got a little package in there. Apparently it's a silencer for your pistol, not that you'd need it considering we're gonna be about as stealthy as a Wonderbolt on race day. Still, it's there if you want it..." He went back to securing all his gear and making sure he was fully stocked up. Silver then closed his locker and lent on it next to Strikes. "I'm gonna stick with you, not because i like you but because i don't trust you. No hard feelings though..." he said sarcastically.

Although he expected it, Toryl was still bewildered to hear his name called. Hundreds, mabye even thousands of ponies here, and I'm still picked... He soon realized that some of the ponies he knew had been called too, and turned around to look for them. After a quick scan, he caught sight of Doc making his way toward a side hall. Pushing his way through the dispersing crowd, Toryl did his best to follow the silver-maned unicorn. After having followed him into the armory, he shrunk a little at the sight of all the other ponies. Noticing they were all grabbing things from lockers, Toryl decided to find his own.

((Fixed it a bit. Also, planning on actually delivering on my music suggestion. I made a piece a while ago with this facility in mind. Plus, finally have a profile picture! ^^))

Strike opened his locker to find his old armor from the time when he was in the front lines of that hell hole they called war. The armor itself had a faint purple to it the years haven't been kind to her, the shoulder pads were completely gone, destroyed throughout the years there was no physical indication of what rank the owner of this armor was. Strike proceeded to grab his pistol and checked to ammo. It was then that the Pegasus next to him commented on the silencer. Implying I'll be scouting close to these rookies that know nothing on the real world outside. He assembled the silencer and closed the door. Again the pegasus spoke as if making a joke or something. ''I don't care what you do as long as you stay out of the way''

James looked at Silver, then at Strike. "Silver, what is this lowlife prisoner doing here?" James asked, a bit confused to see a prisoner from before in the armory. "They aint supposed to be here.." He huffed, opening a small locker behind him containing a very light and nimble looking leather armor, it looked a bit torn, but it would work. There was also a black, dirty hood-cape he put in his armor's satchel. He then turned back, observing the others.

((A lone blood-soaked pegasus stumbles into the base, the last of her large party to actually survive the several week journey. I'd suppose, taking those circumstances into account, anyone who could survive out there alone long enough to reach Eden would be quite a good candidate. Plus, if Feather died it wouldn't stir up the community much, seeing she was a new face.))

Feather turned around as her name was announced, wincing slightly at the applause. The job was very much revered here, apparently, despite the risks that one had to take venturing outside.

Weaving through the crowd, she glanced at the other candidates, thinking. These would be the ponies who would hunt and run alongside her as long as the job stood.

With Celestia's grace they would be the ones that returned, too.

Stopping outside the armory, she looked at what was offered, taking all but the armour. Her wings needed mobility to be used, and any decrease in velocity would be fatal when attacking.

She sighed, placing the aforementioned items in her pouch. The cerulean mare was here, as well as the yellow stallion that had interrupted her earlier. Either way, she made no move to approach them.

Realising she had reached the armory, Precision slipped inside. Noticing the zebra hanging around, she tried to start up a conversation.

"I didn't see you in the crowd earlier, Majstro, when they announced the Runners. How'd you know to come here?"

((She's not in the armoury, but I guess the smith and armoury would be connected, it makes sense))

 

Majstro shrugged "I didn't" She said simply.

 

Balthasar trotted in from the back entrance to the smith "Well, I didn't get picked, thank god..." He muttered to the pony who'd remained at the smith. That pony looked back at Balthasar.

 

"Well, sir, your favourite customer is back, if you hadn't noticed" He pointed to Majstro, who nodded.

 

"I'm here to work my magic, prezz" Maj continued to the cerulean mare "I need parts if I want to keep us all from dying. Maybe you can help" She stayed sitting down.

"Apparently he's useful..." he said looking at Strike "Even if he is an asshole." He walked off towards the exit but stopped for a second to turn around. "However if he gets out of line and I'm not around, you have my permission to shoot him..." He turned back and walked out of the armory and into the briefing room, hoping to find out where they were sending him.

Having taken the bare essentials and stowed them away, Feather trotted out of the armory, into an adjacent building she presumed was the smithy. The forges were unlit, the bellows untended, but it still brought back memories of the old forge back at the camp. Stretching her wings out of boredom's sake, she took a glance around the room.

 

There was a zebra here, which was unusual in itself, them being a rare species especially after the war. And once again, so was the cerulean mare.

 

Feather folded her wings back, walking to the counter. Since this was indeed a smithy, they probably had what she sought. Raising her voice, she tapped at the counter,

 

"Do you have any whetstones, by chance?"

 

It was a silly question, but it was better than standing around looking like an idiot. Plus, with all the fuss that a blood-covered pony who had stumbled and collapsed right in front of Eden's gate had to deal with, it was high time she did some sharpening.

 

She glanced back at her wings, before returning to look at the smith.

 

"Preferably hoof-sized, if you have any of those," she continued, remembering how her father used to maintain the blades, "But I suppose I could just run my wing along the stone if you don't."

The pony at the counter nodded "Sure, miss, we have whetstones. None of them are hoof held, though." He turned and started walking towards a door.

 

Balthasar walked there faster "I'll get it, Romeo" He murmured, entering the door and pushing out a large pedal powered whetstone on top of some wheels.

 

"Here you go, miss... What's your name?"

 

Majstro moved towards a group of drawers containing scrap metal, and she pulled some of it out and put it in her pack.

"Well, if it wasn't obvious, you're a Runner now. I'm just hoping that no-one gets too badly hurt, but I guess that's just too much to ask. The best we can hope for is for nopony to die, and even that's looking pretty bleak." Precision told the zebra.

 

Noticing Feather, she said a quick "Hi!" before quickly asking Balthasar for a whetstone for her knives.

 

Turning back to Majstro, she continued:"To be honest, I'm not thrilled to be risking my life like this, but I'm currently a bit of a liability to the Eden. The forge has all the help it needs, and the things I can create can only be used by unicorns. I can hammer out shoes, but I'm a bit of a perfectionist. I spend far too much time on each one, that I'm not really all that helpful..."

Majstro raised an eyebrow behind her gas mask "Didn't realize I was a runner now. Heh. Maybe I'll actually be able to finish off my firearm designs with the crap I salvage."

 

She stood up "Well, I already have everything I need to go out and kill shit, so I don't reckon I have to take anything from the armoury. Hey, I never actually could figure out why the stuff you make was unicorn only. Are they just blades with no handles or something?"

Feather gave the stone a quick once over, before responding to Balthasar.

 

"Feather Flight, but I suppose Feather will do."

 

Pushing the whetstone to a corner, she sat down, placing one wing over the circular stone before pedaling, making sure that the edge of her wingblade was aligned properly. It made a small metallic screeching sound as the steel hit the stone, a familiar noise. Either way, it kept her busy.

 

The cerulean mare gave her a small greeting, before asking the smith if he had another whetstone. Feather lifted her other wing up in response, acknowledging it.

 

"Hi."

Strike ignored the comments made by Silver and James it would be a waste of time to bicker they would soon be dead anyways for none of them truly knows the sheer terror that is the outside world. Strike walked out of the armory Sure I could warn them about the most horrifying  creatures of the outside... But then I would be helping these self righteous pricks which I really don't wanna do.... They think they can go outside gun a blazing I bit good luck I'm gonna sit back and watch. He stopped in the next store it looked like a blacksmith, there he saw a couple of ponies with blades and generally close range weapons. At least something quiet.... Still...No9t gonna do them any good when a horde of mutants hear them coming from a mile away.

"The metal I use for my weapons is pretty hard to get these days. My skills in making things out of other metals is limited to fiddly things, like throwing knives. They're a little hard to aim with your mouth, but with telekinesis, you can direct a small cloud of them towards your enemy, if you can concentrate hard enough." Precision explained to Majstro.

 

Turning to Feather, she smiled.

 

"Its good that I'm in the runners now, but that doesn't necessarily mean it'll be easy. I wouldn't be surprised if there were a couple of casualties on the first run. Did you hear? The killer, Strike, was chosen as a Runner. I'm all for second chances, but apparently, the people he killed were from Eden. Doesn't exactly help us, having to worry about treachery every few seconds..."

Strike overheard Precision's comment and couldn't help but to get close and speak his mind on the matter. ''I am a survivor not a killer, All the ponies I killed were Runners I did what I had to do to survive outside'' Strike looked to feather ''This one knows I can see it in her eyes'' He turned back to Precision ''So before you judge anypony go outside with nothing but the clothes on your back and see how long you last''

"Fine, so you 'survived'. But at what cost to the innocent ponies who risked their lives so that we could be safe for just a little longer. You act like I didn't have to fight my way here. I know what it's like out there. I had to come here in the first place." Precision glared at him.

"And you know what, Strike? Nopony is dead because of me. Not. One. Pony."

"Zero. Strike. That's how many lives I've taken. Zilch."

Pulling her blades into the air, she walked out of the room and into the armoury, calling out over her shoulder as she went:
"What's your number, then, 'survivor'?"

Swinging into the room next door, she muttered under her breath.

"What is the world coming to..." She shook her head sadly.

The mare had guts Strike was impressed by that, but her sense of morality would be her undoing. Still he simply let her walk away without saying a word, but under his breath he muttered ''And what will you do when you face other survivors? Those who you call bandits also have families to feed.'' Strike sighted and made his way to briefing room.

James walked into the blacksmith, hearing Strike's statement. He took a step forward and began talking." Wow. Your more dumb then a fucking turtle, Lowlife. You think i just teleported here? That i was born here? No. i was born in canterlot, and i had to make my way down the fucking mountain, when i was a fucking kid, whilst those mutants murdered my family, and everything dear to me. Dont you come up with that bullshit that we are weak or useless." James huffed, and went into the briefing room.

Strike didn't stop to think he sent his hoof plying straight into James's face. Yet he calmly said ''I don't give a shit about your sad story and your dead family. It is a very bad idea to go picking fights around specially in times like these.''
