Ah, some Renegade to cleanse the palate of OL's bad day in Vega.
Should that be past tense or did I miss something?"While I'm perfectly happy-" I try to avoid frowning as Sunset attaches one of her experimental thaumic flux detectors to my forehead. "-to assist you in your work, I was rather under the impression that you'd crack the whole-" Another goes on my right shoulder. "-alicorn transformation thing."
Grayven, don't tease the confused Girl-Unicorn.
Highly unlikely.
Oh Celestia... How embarassing must that have been?She looks away, trying not to squirm. "Circe… Had a.. talk with me. Adom… Was.. there."
Evidently very embarassing.
Fascinating. Does that mean when Barda walked around in her battle bikini, back in the 70's comics, she was relaxed around people?"On Apokolips, it means 'I trust you enough not to wear armour around you'. That's a big deal, but it's not always sexual."
Magic, at least, makes sense most of the time. Unlike people."I think I'll stick-" She passes me the box containing the rest of the sensors and I obligingly begin attaching them as well. "-with magic. Wait." She frowns. "You walk around people who don't wear armour all the time."
Given they'd seen what comes of being your enemy? I should think so..."Yes, but I have thirty years of memories of that being normal. At most, it makes me feel like I'm living on a weirdly friendly planet. It's actually quite nice. Even when I was on trial for murder… Everyone in that court room was my friend."
Grayven! She's underage... For a human anyway.
Maybe ponies just came bigger back then? (Minds out of the gutter, people! )"I tested her shampoo when I was eight. It's not her shampoo. It could just be her age, what happens when the higher magic levels in her body keep building up, it.. could be something about her link with the sun… I don't know."
Good scientific reasoning."Ah… It could. Celestia's really good at magic." Another eye roll. "Allegedly. And when she realised exactly why I wanted to study her she forbade me from studying her, which made doing it really difficult. It's possible that she used a glamour I couldn't detect, but… I don't think so. I'm mostly worried that there's something more that I don't know about because the evidence for it is hard to detect."
Admittedly, that's because it was never in any comic...I shrug. "I don't even remember my juvenile name. If she's close to making a breakthrough on her own, that might be part of it."
Yes, not something you want people knowing. Since in knowing, they would subconsciously resist...I don't bother mentioning that I'm effectively… Not mind controlling, but certainly mentally influencing people. I can cow peoples' spirits but I'm not going to be doing that here and now.
Good to see it working as...
...Well, then!
Oh, this should be interesting.
I predict a Nightmare Moon situation, but with a Conquest-powered Sunset... Nightfall Glimmer?
Godspeech, hora hora!
It's a simple device, fuel, battery, the magnetic 'rifling' system which keeps the cloud of charged particles going where the shooter wants them, coolant to make sure that the rest of the gun doesn't melt and the mass of the body of the gun. But as I impress myself upon it that rapidly stops being the case. Now it's a tool, an instrument by which my territory can be defended and expanded. A symbol of the power of my legions and the order they bring, its fire scourging those who oppose me from the universe. And those manufacturing centre which produce it are evidence of the industrial power of my realm, the purpose I bring to the lives of all those who give of themselves to me.
"Alright." I put the gun, now simply a gun again rather than an instrument of my will.
Hm.
I close my eyes and reach out across the Challenger Mountain facility, feeling the weak shimmers of essence of each of the genomorphs and the more substantively resistance from Knockout's own divinity. She has accepted me as her overlord so I can bend her-. Ah, she feels it. And in any case her nature isn't actually opposed to mine. In another part I feel Mortalla's weaker soul, her nature far more… Synthetic. I'm not sure what Desaad did to make that happen, but I don't think he did it with a Father Box's aid. While she doesn't appear to be aware of what I'm doing, her nature isn't opposed to mine either.
I spread my awareness to every corner of the facility.
Sunset's device beeps, and she smiles.
The First Brick.
And then it explodes.
