Lets see semingly inteligent life, plant growth cloning.
I think thats everything
Oh and those wierd weather patterns
>>
>>29219246
"We found everything we could," You explain, "We're spending the rest of the day here. We'll establish communications if we find anything else."
"Good," She replies, "Godspeed to you all!"
She then signs off, the screen rising back up to the ceiling.

What do you do?
>>
>>29219271
Videogame time
>>
>>29219271
Lets go see if the mushroom recharged or if it's dependent on external energy.

>>29219285
Just a quick check so we don't forget about it.
>>
>>29219271
Hey Vine, wanna play some video games with me? I think it's time to relax after all that.
>>
>>29219285
>>29219294
>>29219318
You quickly go to check to see if the mushroom has charged, but it hasn't. Meaning that it was dependent on external energy.
"Hey Vine, wanna play some video games with me?"
"Sure." She nods.
The tv and game console was in the cargo bay, but with a nearby outlet the two of you start playing.

"Fatality!"
"Yes," Vine cheers, "I won!"
You just sat there in silence. Vine beat you, twice in a row as your fighter was hung by his intestines.

What do you do?
>>
>>29219387
Does this game have a co-op mode of any sort
If so play that otherwise try again.
>>
>>29219387
Alright...how are you so good at this?
>>
>>29219387
Let play a co-op game, like portal 2.
>>
>>29219419
I dunno im all for playing co-op but switching games might make us seem like a sore loser
>>
>>29219405
>>29219417
>>29219419
>>29219447
"Alright... how are you so good at this?"
"Practice." She smiles.
You go to the main screen and find that they have a co-op story mode on it. Which you select.

Several hours later, the end credits scroll up the screen.
It's taken about thirty minutes, but the two of you beat the final boss in an epic final battle.
"We did it!" Quiet Vine cheers.

What do you do?
>>
>>29219486
Of course we did, we're unstoppable as a team! You wanna play something else? Your choice this time...
>>
>>29219486
Give her a high five (high hoof i dunno slam your foot into hers)
>>
>>29219486
Fucking face plant. Who isn't tired from playing several consecutive hours?
>>
>>29219486
Wanna watch a movie?
>>
>>29219503
This. Put a romantic one in.
>>
>>29219509
A romantic tragedy
>>
>>29219493
>>29219495
>>29219496
>>29219503
>>29219509
>>29219514
"Of course we did," You tell her; giving her a high hoof, "We're unstoppable as a team!"
You then face plant on the ground. Really tired after playing for several consecutive hours.
"Wanna watch a movie?" You ask.
"...Sure."
You go through the movie and find one. Considered to be one of the greatest romantic tragedies of all time: Maretanic!

three hours and fifteen fucking minutes later the movie ends. The end credits going over the screen.
You had a stone cold face on you, while Quiet Vine was hugging you, crying her eyes out.

What do you do?
>>
>>29219514
No a romantic action comedy
>>
>>29219549
Hug her back
>>
>>29219549
Hug her back and comfort her. Enjoy her company.
>>
>>29219549
>You had a stone cold face on you, while Quiet Vine was hugging you, crying her eyes out.
We had to be Vines rock, we could not afford to shed a tear, no matter how much we wanted too.
>>
>>29219549
Are you serious? We actually chose to watch that piece of crap? I vote we stop acknowledging the suggestion of the people trying to seduce Vine.
>>
>>29219549
What time is it?
>>
>>29219601
It was not a very good movie but no need to have that bad a reaction to it.
>>
>>29219601
Are you fucking serious? Titanic is a solid movie.
>>
>>29219601
Bitch have you actually, ACTUALLY watched the Titanic? That shit is sad. More so since it was a film based off of real event.
>>
>>29219556
>>29219574
>>29219589
>>29219610
You had to be Vine's rock. You couldn't afford to even think about shedding a tear. No matter how much you wanted too.
You hug her back. Just enjoying her company as she continues to cry.
She stops crying after a few minutes. She continues to hug you though, enjoying your company as well.
You lift up your hoof and look at your watch.
It was 6:15
You seriously spent six hours playing video games and watching a movie with Quiet Vine.

What do you do?
>>
>>29219624
Yes, and the only sad part is the hours of my life I won't get back.
>>
>>29219644
Time well spent! Keep hugging her and don't let go...
>>
>>29219644
More co-op
Get modern warfare reflex edition in with the extra gunnery co-op
Vine can do the walking.
>>
>>29219644
Time for dinner then.
>>
>>29219668
this
>>
>>29219644
Keep up with the hugs a little while longer then ask if she's hungry.
>>
>>29219668
Oh we never did get round to trying the nutrient paste
>>
>>29219661
>>29219662
>>29219668
>>29219688
>>29219701
>>29219705
You keep up with the hugs for a little longer at the least.
"...Are you hungry?" You ask.
"Yeah." She sniffs.
You get up only for Quiet vine to keep hugging you.
"A little longer?" She asks.

What do you do?
>>
>>29219732
"Sure. Hey Sai, is anyone cooking dinner? It would be nice if you brought us some."

Keep hugging her and pet her mane.
>>
>>29219732
Oh my. Well if the lady wants, who are we to deny her?
>>
>>29219732
Ask her why
But still keep hugging her
>>
>>29219754
>>29219756
>>29219760
"If the lady wants," You smile; getting back down, "Hey Sai, is anyone cooking dinner?"
"No," He replies, "But, Eagle is thinking about doing it."
You hug Quiet Vine and start petting her mane. She snuggles up to you, laying her head on your shoulder.
"Why do you want more time?" You ask.
"Cause... you're huggable." She replies.

What do you do?
>>
>>29219816
Yeah my size does come with some advantages
>>
>>29219816
Eh, let Eagle make dinner. We have to be a teddy bear at the moment. Cuddle up to Vine.

"So are you. I think we should cuddle more often..."
>>
>>29219847
>>29219855
You decide to let Eagle make dinner.
"my size does come with some advantages," You smile, "But, you're huggable as well. I think we should cuddle more often."
"Y-Yeah," She stammers, "Cuddles are nice."
The two of you hug in silence for a moment. You notice Quiet Vine was biting her lips, as if she wanted to say something.

What do you do?
>>
>>29219927
If you want to say something feel free to say it.
>>
>>29219927
I think we know what she wants to say. Look her right in the eyes with a dreamy look.

"Something on your mind~?"
>>
>>29219956
Really because i dont
Probably something to do with this ongoing seduction.
>>
>>29219970
Uhh...yeah? I thought that was obvious...
>>
>>29219927
Lets go eat, she must be hungry.
>>
>>29219978
Well yes but knowing the basic motive of her statment does not mean we know the statment itself.
Maybe she is asking what those advantages are or maybe its a simple i really like you there are dozens of possibilitys
>>
>>29219936
>>29219956
"Something on you mind~," You ask her, "If you want to say something feel free to say it."
"Y-Yeah." She stammers.
She takes a few deep breaths.
"Rust," She says, "I...I...I, uhm, I-I... L-l-l, uhm."
She seems to be having trouble saying it.

What do you do?
>>
>>29219998
I just suggested that we ask what's on her mind. So technically my command still stands. I'm not sure what you're trying to say, sorry.
>>
>>29220022
Give her a kiss on the lips
>>
>>29220022
This is it, the moment couldn't be more perfect. Go in for the kiss.
>>
>>29220022
>So I know we've only know each other for a few days but, would you like too. . . . . I mean I exactly take you out for lunch or something, seeing as we're in space.
>>
>>29220034
>>29220035
Holy moly that's forward.
>>
>>29220056
She was gonna say that she really likes us. Not really forward considering what she was going to say. Fedot did mention that she's too nervous to make the first move so we gotta do it for her.
>>
>>29220022
I want her confession to get interrupted.
>>
>>29220087
Why?
>>
>>29220022
I like you too as a friend
>>
>>29220087
Yeah by our cock in her mouth
>>
>>29220034
>>29220035
>>29220044
>>29220056
"Uhm, uhm, uh-"
You kiss her on the lips. Her eyes widen, but she quickly melts into it.
After a few seconds you break it.
"...I know we've only know each other for a few days, but would you like too... I mean I don't exactly have a place to take you out to lunch, seeing as we're in-"
She then kisses you back, crushing you in a large hug.

What do you do?
>>
>>29220103
That would be funny enough i am almost tenpted to support it.
Almost
>>
>>29220111
Stroke her mane
>>
>>29220111
Keep kissing her and be her teddy bear.
>>
>>29220111
I shall now make it my mission to break her heart.
>>
>>29220144
Why do you hate small qt mare waifus, Anon?
>>
>>29220144
>not breaking her mind
Once she is our cumslut we can move on to eagle and start our way to a harem.
>>
>>29220144
Good for you then.

>>29220121
>>29220128
You keep kissing her back and stroke her mane.
After several minutes the two of you break the kiss. She stares at you with tears welling up in her eyes.
"I've been wanting to do that!" She smiles.

What do you do?
>>
>>29220154
I actually like her. I despise forced early romances.
>>
>>29220173
Have a candlight dinner
>>
>>29220183
Its been 4 days anon thats not early
>>
>>29220173
And we can do it a lot more~. We still have a bit of time before dinner. Hey Sai, notify us when dinner is ready.
>>
>>29220183
I will agree it is maybe a little early but it feels pretty natural
I should be mad because i wanted eagle but it was so well done i cannot be.
>>
>>29220256
Well it coooould still happen, but it would depend on pony dynamics. Are pony relationships typically done monogamy or polygamy? Are they like us, or do they have 'herds'?
>>
>>29220280
I say ponies are pretty open about relationships. Many of them having open relationships with multiple others so it isn't rare.

>>29220184
>>29220223
"We can do a lot more~" You smile, "We still have a bit before dinner. Hey Sai, notify us when dinner is ready."
"Sure." He replies.
"A lot more of what?" Quiet Vine asks.

What do you do?
>>
>>29220306
A lot more of whatever you want
>>
>>29220306
Well I was thinking of cuddling and kissing...unless you have something else in mind.
>>
>>29220306
Cuddling of course. that is unless Quiet "accidently" stimulates a certain reproductive organ......Rust's fuck huge horse cock that is
>>
>>29220332
Like watching another movie or small talk.
>>
>>29220342
Why would we watch another movie we will have to stop partway through when we can play more vidya
>>
>>29220333
If we do fuck tonight i propose a condom
>>
>>29220321
>>29220332
>>29220333
>>29220342
"A lot more of what ever you want," You smile, "Cuddling, kissing, maybe something else?"
Quiet Vine pushes you to the ground and starts making out with you. Wrapping her legs around you in a hug.
After several minutes of this, you feel her bump into... you lower parts.
Her eyes widen and she stops, breaking the kiss.
"I-Is that your, uhm..."

What do you do?
>>
>>29220370
Nod
>>
>>29220370
This: >>29220391
Let's see how she reacts before going full lewd on her.
>>
>>29220361
I don't believe in condoms.
>>
>>29220370
Woah woah woah, when did we pop a stiff? Woooooooow.
>>
Stopping for the night.
Noon start tomorrow as well, but it might be a big late as I have to go to the house of god in the morning.
Have a good night or day!
>>
>>29220424
But you are already living in a house of god. Because you are one.
>>
>>29220433
Calm down on the dick sucking there mate. Plute might lose his if you go that hard.
>>
>>29220480
But I like sucking cock. You can't tell me who's cock I can't suck!

You're just jealous because you didn't ascend into godhood by becoming a good QM.

You mean QM.

Pluto could use some improvements.

I'm pretty sure he's open to criticism. Go ahead and give advice then.
>>
>>29220585
You are absolutely right! I'm open to criticism.

i was expecting galactic exploration not sex, inb4 "do you know where you are"
>>
>>29220963
Theres no reason we cannot have both
Almost every quest on /mlp/ is a mix of multiple things
>>
>>29220995
how long before they start mining the pristine metal rings of bhotho AB 3 and get interdicted by pirates, only to narrowly escape?
>>
>>29221030
I don't think a research mission would have a reason to mine other than to get small material samples.

okay then interdicted by pirates while exploring due to a bug in the game that causes pirates to interdict you even when you're just doing surface scans and have nothing but limpet drones
>>
>>29221102
I dunno we're at the first planet and I don't think we're going to find aliens with space travel in equestria's neighborhood, but that's up to the QM.

Stop making empty op posts even if it's just a continuation from the previous thread its good for new players to have an introduction.

ah i see, so it isnt a thousand years in the future and ponies already have mass produced space ships and stations at tons of systems outside thier own? the pirates i was referring to would be other ponies not aleans

'When did we pop a stiff?' You mind asks.
You just nod at her. She slowly turns around and her eyes widen at your prize.
"It's so big!" She breaths.
She lifts a hoof up and slowly reaches to to, only to stop halfway.

What do you do?
>>
>>29224665
Uhh...wanna go to my room?
>>
>>29224665
"It's alright, you don't have to force yourself to do this. We can take it as slow as you like."
Stroke her mane more. She seems hesitant. This might be too soon but let's see.
>>
>>29224761
>>29224778
"It's alright," You tell her; stroking her mane, "You don't have to force yourself to do this. We can take this as slow as you like. We can go into my room if you want?"
She sighs before turning to you.
"M-Maybe we can wait," She says, "For when I go into estrus? C-Cause this is going... a bit fast."

What do you do?
>>
>>29224859
>a bit fast.
Understatement of the decade.
>>
>>29224859
"Sure, sorry about that accident. I'm perfectly happy like this. Most wouldn't even give me a chance due to my heritage anyways. So thanks"
>>
>>29224875
>>29224947
"Sure," You say; getting up, "Sorry about that accident. I'm perfectly happy like this. Most wouldn't even give me a chance due to my heritage anyway. So thanks."
Quiet Vine smiles before hugging you, you hug back. Your stiffy quickly starts to soften, as the two of you hug.
"Dinner is ready," Sai announces; causing the two of you to jump, "Eagle made Veggie Tacos."

What do you do?
>>
>>29224995
We can hang out more later, c'mon, I'm starving!
>>
>>29224995
We must consume. Our body needs more food to support itself.
>>
>>29224995
And there's work to be done tomorrow.
>>
>>29225040
>>29225057
>>29225113
"We can hang out later," You tell her, "C'mon, I'm starving!"
As you get up something comes to your mind. You smile at it.
You lock your joints and start to walk stiffly, and mechanically. With a lifeless and robotic voice, you speak.
"I must consume," You say mechanically, "Body needs food to support itself. Repeat."
Quiet Vine starts giggling at this as you continue to do this until you reach the kitchen. Eagle and Fedot look at you as you enter.
"Greetings Mr. Roboto," Eagle jokes, "Would you like some Veggie Tacos?"

What do you do?
>>
>>29224995
Ok. I'm up to date. Hot damn does Rust have one he'll of a libido.
>>
>>29225123
>Sure.
So how did Eagle set up the veggie taco's? Did she make a set for everyone, or did she prep the ingredients so people can make their taco's to their own liking.
>>
>>29225123
Hell yeah! I feel like I haven't eaten all day.
>>
>>29225123
>>29225170
...I pity those poor tacos.
>>
>>29225160
>>29225170
"Hell yeah!" You smile.
Eagle had made a set of tacos for everybody. You sadly couldn't make your own, but that was fine.
You grab one and sit down at the table.
"Your pets were complaining earlier," Fedot tells you, "They wanted food so I fed them."

What do you do?
>>
>>29225263
Thanks Fedot, Vine and I got a bit...distracted.
>>
>>29225263
"Sorry about that. Time flew by while I was spending time with Vine."
>>
>>29225281
>>29225326
"Thanks Fedot, Vine and I got a bit... distracted and time flew by before we knew it."
"May I ask how you got distracted?" Eagle asks; sitting down and giving you a sultry look.

What do you do?
>>
>>29225375
"Well...let's just say that we bonded a little..."

Give Vine a kiss on the cheek.
>>
>>29225375
Oh you know, played video games and watch a movie.
>>
>>29225410
>>29225430
"Oh you know, played video games, watched a movie, bonded a little."
You give Vine a kiss on the cheek. Causing her to blush and sink below the table a little bit.
Fedot gives you a approving smile, while Eagle gives you a surprised look.
"Wow," Eagle mutters, "I didn't think you two would hit it off. Congratulations!"

What do you do?
>>
>>29225532
What? Why not?
>>
>>29225532
... Was it that unlikely?
>>
>>29225543
>>29225609
"What? Was it that unlikely?"
"No, no," Eagle quickly says, "It's just that you and Quiet Vine are almost... opposites!"

What do you do?
>>
>>29225631
...Eagle...you better not be talking about the size difference.
>>
>>29225631
...But they told me size doesn't matter. In all seriousness, I did have a fear of it getting in the way as usual..
>>
All this barely undertone of lewds and suggestiveness is really wearing down on me.
>>
>>29225631
You know I never really though of it like that before. Well you know what they say opposites attract.
>>
>>29225658
>>29225735
>>29225774
"Eagle... you better not be talking about size difference."
"I'm not," She replies, "But, to be honest: You are bigger than her."
"But, they told me size doesn't matter."
Quiet Vine is now hiding under the table, with her entire face being beet red, but you continue.
"In all seriousness, I did have a fear of it getting in the way as usual..."
"Well," Eagle starts, "She's... shy and you're outgoing. But, they say opposites attract."

What do you do?
>>
>>29225798
Eat taco.
>>
>>29225798
What do you guys think we should do for tomorrow? Anyone got any plans?
>>
>>29225798
Well I don't know about that. She's a nice, smart and caring cutie so I didn't see a reason why we shouldn't get to know each other a bit better. Isn't that right, Vine...uhh...Vine?
>>
>>29225798
Comfort Vine. She is embarrassed from all this attention.
>>
>>29222868
Or even just have some context so they can decide to read through it.
>>
>>29225833
>>29225842
>>29225861
>>29225871
"Well I don't know about that," You say; eating your Taco, "She's a nice, smart, and caring cutie, so I don't see why we shouldn't get to know each other a bit better. Isn't that right, Vine... uhh... Vine?"
"She's under the table." Fedot tells you.
You pull Vine from underneath the table and comfort her. Her entire body now tinted red.
"You two make a cute couple," Eagle chuckles, "Maybe we'll find a nice planet you two can have a date on."
"What do you guys think we should do for tomorrow," You ask, "Any plans?"
"I was thinking we can move on to the next solar system," Fedot says, "Continue on, you know?"

What do you do?
>>
>>29225917
I think we should make one more trip down there to see if anything has changed after the storm.
>>
>>29225917
Yeah, I was thinking of doing that too. I'm sure there is more to discover on this planet, but I think we logged everything important on it. Hey Sai, what would our next destination be if we decide to leave?
>>
>>29225945
We could also try communicating with natives.
>>
>>29225917
I want to see what else we can find on this planet before we move along to the next planet. I'm thinking going spelunking if we do find a cave system, it could give us an idea what material this planet has underground.
>>
>>29225917
Maybe study a bit more on the rainbow and patterns quills. Just so we know how care for them.
>>
>>29225917
Maybe just one more day here, then we leave. Is that ok with you?
>>
>>29225990
This. We should study a bit more on their lifestyle in their natural environment.
>>
Need to do something an hour.
I will be back!
>>
>>29225966
I think that would take more then a day
Maybe we will come back in 2 years to find somebody has worked out there language.
>>
>>29226040
And then he never returned
The end
>>
>>29226870
Fuck what if we die out in the depths of space nobody will ever know what happened to us.
>>
>>29226956
That's the fun of being the first explorers! Potential death!
>>
>>29226870
Nope!

>>29225945
>>29225955
>>29225966
>>29225974
>>29225990
>>29226003
>>29226010
>>29226834
"I think we should make one more trip down there to see if anything has changed," You reply, "Maybe we could go cave spelunking if we find a cave, or study the Rainbow and Panther Quills a bit more? What do you think?"
"...One more day here couldn't hurt." Fedot says.
"Hey Sai, what would our next destination be if we decide to leave?"
"It's your choice," Sai says, "There's four different solar systems nearby, and by near I mean more than three days."

What do you do?
>>
>>29226040
I think pluto underestimated how long his thing would take.
Or he died doing his thing
>>
>>29227168
Ask for some info on those solar systems
>>
>>29227168
Can we get like a...preview of them or do you have no info?
>>
>>29227185
>>29227198
"Any information or preview of them?" You ask.
"I cataloged them by distance, and yes I have some information on them: None of them are named, meaning you get to name them. The closest one is about five days away and the furthest one is about nine days. The closest one has three planets, the furthest one has one gas giant looking at it's size, and the second closest one, being seven and a half days away has FIFTEEN planets. That's all I got so far."

What do you do?
>>
>>29227273
How far are they from eachother?
>>
>>29227273
Where are they located in relation to each other do you have some sort of map.
>>
>>29227273
Well since it's random we might as well go for the closest one after we're done with this planet.
>>
>>29227289
>>29227290
>>29227291
"How far away are they from each other in relation?"
"Don't know," Sai replies, "We'd have to go to one of them to find out."
"...We might as well go to the closest one after we're done with this one."
"I don't know," Eagle says, "The fifteen planet one sounds much better to harbor life than the other ones."

What do you do?
>>
>>29227348
Thats weird. We have both distance and direction so we should be able to calculate where they are in relation to eachother. A^2+B^2=C^2 after all.
>>
>>29227348
You can't really tell for sure though. We're going blind here after all. Eh, we'll think about it later I guess.
>>
>>29227348
I do not even begin to understand how you can know there distance from here but not from each other but i suppose we will go for the closest one we can visit all 3 eventualy most likely
>>
>>29227348
Do we at least know direction
>>
>>29227370
>>29227380
>>29227386
"That's weird," You say; continuing to eat, "We have both distance and direction so we should be able to calculate where they are in relation to each other."
"I may be smart, but I'm not too smart," He says, "But, you also need to put in the fact that not all solar systems are on the same plane. Some are higher and lower than others."
"...We'll just go for the closest one." You say.

What do you do?
>>
>>29227465
What time is it? Maybe we can go work out till we have to hit the sack.
>>
>>29227465
It shouldn't matter if they're on the same plane. A triangle only needs tree points and it would always be a 2 dimensional object. Just calculate each distance separately.
>>
>>29227465
If we dont know the distance do we at least know direction.
Do we pass through anything to get to anything else
>>
>>29227506
>>29227587
>>29227605
"It shouldn't matter if they're on the same plane. A triangle only needs three points and it would always be a two dimensional object. Just calculate each distance separately. Do we pass through anything to get to anything else?"
"Several asteroid belts... Alright, give me sometime and I'll see what I can do."
You look down at your watch.
7:00.
You finish eating and get up. Going to the cargo bay.
You saw some exercising machines in there earlier, so you decided to go use them.
You navigate the cargo bay and find them. One being a treadmill. You hook it up and start using it.

An hour later you finish. Turning it off and stepping off.
You were breathing heavily, covered in sweat. There was a bathroom connected to the cargo bay with a nice shower that you could use.
You look around and stop when you find two sets of eyes staring at you, obviously belonging to Eagle and Quiet Vine. The two of them quickly duck down when you see them, hiding behind a box.
You hear frantic whispering shortly after, mostly being from Eagle.

What do you do?
>>
>>29227644
Ignore them and go shower
>>
>>29227644
I wonder if Vine accidentally told Eagle about our size.
>>
>>29227644
Sneak up to the box and eavesdrop on what they are saying.
>>
>>29227680
How are we gonna sneak up they are focusing on us
>>
>>29227712
They hid behind it and are whispering. We can sneak up.
>>
>>29227712
Clarification that was not a vote i already voted
>>29227650
>>
>>29227650
>>29227671
>>29227680
You carefully sneak up on the box and eavesdrop of them. It was mostly Eagle commenting on your size and Vine trying to get her to lower her voice.
You just roll your eyes before entering the bathroom, and taking a shower.

You come out several minutes later to a silent cargo bay.
Eagle and Quiet Vine must've left, or they're still here and are just being silent.

What do you do?
>>
>>29227727
Ask Sai if he has any books we can read in bed.
>>
>>29227754
This
Maybe a comic
An aquastallion comic because he is our favourite cape as we have good taste
>>
>>29227754
>>29227798
"Have any books to read, Sai?" You ask, "Specifically Aquastallion?"
"I have all current issues of Aquastallion, even the first issue. Also, I managed to calculate the distance between the four solar systems to be five to six days apart."

What do you do?
>>
>>29227824
See? That wasn't so hard now, was it? Give me the first few issues, I'm going to bed for the day.
>>
>>29227824
We are feeling nostalgic lets read that first issue
Thank him for working that out we will visit the closest one first and then the other 2
>>
Im about to go to work you guys have fun.
>>
>>29227839
>>29227842
"That wasn't so hard now, wasn't it," You smile, "Thank you for working though, we'll visit the first one and then other three after tomorrow. Give me the first issues, I'm going to bed for the day."

You sat in bed with the light on, reading the third issue of Aquastallion. You remembered when you got the first issue:
You were four at the time and it was Heart's Warming. Your parents gave you the comic since you liked superheroes, and at the time Aquastallion just started. You quickly liked Aquastallion, quickly becoming your favorite. You had all issues at the moment, you even had the first one which many had tried to buy from you.
You finish the third issue and look at the time.
It was 9:30.

What do you do?
>>
>>29227961
Go to sleep. If we're lucky Siri won't wake us up at 6AM like a cunt.
>>
>>29227974
You put the comic book down and lay the covers over yourself.
You close your eyes, and sleep overtakes you.

You eyes open. You felt awake and rested. You roll over and look at the time.
It was 10:30 in the morning.

What do you do?
>>
>>29228043
We slept for 13 hours straight!? Holy shit we were tired! Let's get up and check if there's any breakfast left.
>>
>>29228067
You slept for thirteen hours straight!
"Holy shit!" You mutter.
You get up and exit your room and trot to the kitchen. Where you find your friends eating Daisy Sandwiches. Eagle and Fedot were eating while Quiet Vine was making the sandwiches.
She was in the process of making a large one, bigger than the other three.
Snowflake and Curiosity were also there, in the same room together. Snowflake sat on the table, eating a slab of chicken and a bowl milk, while Curiosity ate a large bowl of salad on the floor.
"Hey Rust," Eagle greets you, "We didn't think you'd wake up. Quiet Vine is making your sandwich."

What do you do?
>>
>>29228156
Yeah, sorry. I guess I didn't realize how tired I was. I'm glad to see that Snowflake isn't afraid of Fedot anymore. Hey Vine, need any help with that?
>>
>>29228185
"Yeah, sorry," You apologize, "I didn't realize how tired I was. Glad to see Snowflake isn't afraid of Fedot anymore. Hey Vine, need any help with that?"
"Nope," She replies; finishing the sandwich and presenting it to you, "It's a little bigger than the rest. I hope you like it!"

What do you do?
>>
>>29228156
Let wait for our sandwich and see what Vine put in it.
>>
>>29228265
"Thanks Vine!"

Give her a kiss as a reward and eat the sandwich.
>>
>>29228265
Thank Vine for the sandwich. Give her a kiss once you receive the sandwich.

"A cute mare giving me food? How sweet of her."
>>
>>29228285
>>29228312
I hope she freaks out.
>>
>>29228285
>>29228312
You take the sandwich and kiss her.
"A cute mare giving me food? Thanks Vine!"
"Y-You too." She stammers.
"Bah!" Eagle laughs as Quiet Vine's face turns red.
You sit down and start eating. Soon after you start eating, Curiosity finishes her food and walks towards you, laying her head on your lap and looking up at you.
"Glad they both can eat our food," Fedot comments, "It probably wouldn't be easy if they couldn't."

What do you do?
>>
>>29228378
Pet Curiosity.

"True. It would be possible with the fast growing fruit and cloning, but it does simplify it for sure."
>>
>>29228405
You being to pet Curiosity.
"True," You reply; taking a bite of the sandwich, "It would be possible with the fast growing fruit and cloning, but it does simplify it for sure."
Quiet Vine sits next to you. The four, six if you count the animals ate in silence for the next few minutes.
The four of you soon finish your sandwiches. Leaving you all full, and satisfied.

What do you do?
>>
>>29228461
Let go back to the surface and find more stuff on this planet.
>>
>>29228461
Work calls for us.
>>
>>29228461
Alright, ready to head down there again?
>>
>>29228478
>>29228490
>>29228493
"Alright, ready to head down there again?" You ask.
They all say yes. As worked called for you all.

The four of you stood outside of the landing pod with your suits, helmets, and weapons. Quiet Vine was talking to Sai and reminding him that there were now pets on the ship. Much like a parent would with their foal when they were about to leave them alone for the first.
"Alright, I'll feed them when needed." Sai replies; the four of you getting into the landing pod and sitting down.
"Do you guys want to land in a different spot or the same one as last time?" Sai asks.

What do you do?
>>
>>29228548
Pick a different spot a bit further away so we have new territory to explore.
>>
>>29228548
Variety would be good. We're only gonna be here for one more day, so let's discover as much as we can before leaving.
>>
>>29228569
>>29228598
"Variety would be good," You say, "Pick a different spot a bit further away so we have new territory to explore."
"Got it," Sai responds, "You landed in a valley so I'll just make you land outside of the valley. You'll land in the mountains, but that should be fine."
The landing pod starts falling. Heading towards the surface of the planet.
It slows after several minutes and lands at a slight angle.
The door opens and the four of you step out. Snow covered the ground, but you could see the sky. Prometheus' large blue sun beating down on the four of you, though you could see clouds in the distance.

What do you do?
>>
>>29228659
Let's pick a direction and explore!
>>
>>29228659
Shoot, missed my chance to have us head for where the weather hit.
>>
>>29228659
Spin the wheel and head for a direction! Adventure awaits.
>>
>>29228670
>>29228707
You decide to start heading down the mountain and start exploring.
The four of head down the mountain for several minutes until you see something:
It was a native, similar to the ones you saw in the valley, but it wore animal furs, and what appeared to be a mask.
It was trying to chip away at a rock with what looked like to be a mining tool.

What do you do?
>>
>>29228760
I wonder what he's trying to do?
>>
>>29228760
Observe from a distance. If they are anything like the other natives, they will be territorial if we approach. Just calmly observe and document their tools and behavior. If we get spotted, back away.
>>
>>29228760
Hide. Observe and log what it's doing.
>>
>>29228769
>>29228776
>>29228784
Wondering what it was doing, the four of you find a rock to hide behind and continue to observe.
You take the log out and start logging, documenting the tools it had. You notice it didn't have a spear so it probably isn't expecting something to attack it.
It continues to chip away at the rock until some blue crystals break away from it.
It quickly picks up the crystals and counts them up before pocketing them and continuing.
*Hrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrraaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhaaaa!*
A sound breaks through the silence. The native stops it's mining and starts looking around, hopping down from the rock.
The ground then breaks near the native, as a large creatures comes out of the ground and lands near it.
It was a largish creature, covered in ice-blue and white scales, with a square head and muzzle, two small yellow eyes as well. It's body was small, but thick, with it's legs being large and powerful, ending with large claws made for digging. It was almost like a dragon.
The native backs away from it and reaches behind it's back. It pats it a few times before looking at it's own back in a panic.
You then realize something: It didn't leave it's spear behind intentionally. It forgot it's spear!
It looks back at the creature as it roars again and pounces. The native manages to roll out of the way, and start running on all fours.
The larger creature gives chase, being surprisingly faster than the native and would likely catch up to it before it could escape.

What do you do?
>>
>>29228873
This could be a good chance to start some positive relations. Might even be able to get samples of another creature.
>>
>>29228873
Oh shit! Here's a chance to get friendly with the natives. Let's shoot the yellow eyes white dragon.
>>
>>29228873
Well then, help the native and try to scare the creature away. Use deadly force if necessary. Hopefully, the native will offer some of us those crystals in exchange for all this.
>>
>>29228892
>>29228898
>>29228905
"Deadly force!" You shout; aiming at the creature.
You fire a shot. It hits the creature and causes it's scales to heat up and melt a bit, but nothing else.
It stops it's chase and turns to you with a angry look.
Eagle quickly takes to the skies while Fedot and Quiet Vine flank it. Taking shots at it.
The native stops running and looks as the four of you continue shooting it.
It doesn't know who to hit as you shoot it from multiple angels.
You shoot it again at the spot where you first shot it. It's eyes widen and it screams in pain.
It raises it's head in the air as several sparks come from it's mouth. It then spews lightning in the air, trying to aim at Eagle.
Eagle quickly flies around, dodging the lightning.
"Shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, shit!" Eagle curses.

What do you do?
>>
>>29229009
Get a bit closer to it and shoot it in the face. We gotta distract it so it doesn't focus on Eagle. If it tries to attack us then dodge roll.
>>
>>29229009
Aim for the eyes
>>
>>29229009
Distract it. Even if we have to get close and risk ourselves, we need to protect Eagle.
>>
>>29229009
So it's scales can only handle one shot, good to know.
>>
>>29229052
>>29229061
>>29229108
You get a bit closer and aim for the eye.
You fire and the laser hits it in square in the eye. It roars in pain as it's eye and surrounding area gets melted several inches into it's face. It stops melting after a few seconds as the creature brings a hand to it's face, covering it.
It backs away a bit before digging into the ground, disappearing.
The native quickly rushes to the hole while Eagle comes to the ground, panting.
"Dai! Quoch detth Srak," It, now able to confirm as a he with it's voice, cheers into the hole, "Detth T's yrth uikli!"
Looking at him more closely he appeared to be a teenager given his size. Mid-teenager.

What do you do?
>>
>>29229132
Uhh...this might prove to be a problem. Let's let our diplomat handle this for us. About time he pulled his weight.
>>
>>29229132
Lets see if any scales came off during the fight.
>>
>>29229132
Our diplomat must prove his role. Rush to check on Eagle. Ask her she's alright. We are a kind giant that must look out out for all.
>>
Stopping for the night.
So, I have classes tomorrow, though considering that the roads are slush and ice right now it might change over night. If I don't say anything about it tomorrow morning then I have classes. Session will start at three thirty or four if that is the case.
Have a good night or day!
>>
>>29229009
In hindsight we should not have tried using energy weapons on this planet.
>>
>>29229132
Get fedot to deal with it.
>>
Start time is being moved to noon today. They closed classes over night.
>>
>>29231249
You are too good to us, Pluto...
>>
>>29231335
Don't thank him thank the weather ponys.
Poor pluto will have a lot of work to catch up on
>>
>>29231249
The gods have willed it to be noon. Obey and commence quest.
>>
>>29231859
Deus Vult!

>>29229147
>>29229177
>>29229182
>>29230397
"This might be a problem," You mutter, "Fedot can you try to speak with him?"
He shrugs and goes over to the native. You trot over to Eagle, finding three scales from the dragon thing on the ground the pocketing them.
"Are you alright?" You ask her.
"Yeah," She pants, "Didn't expect to shoot lightning at me."
She then leans on you.
"Ugh, I need to start exercising more!" She breaths.
Fedot comes back with the native.
"I think it wants to thank us." Fedot tells you.
"Sruh detth," The native bows at you; to all of you, "Sruh u detth. Tratk, sesee nils broun. Wilwake Ors."
He takes a pouch out and presents it to you. Inside the pouch being a number of light blue crystals, probably what he was mining.
You couldn't help, but hang onto the words of Wilwake Ors. It almost sounded like a title.

What do you do?
>>
>>29232316
We only need a sample of it. Take the smallest crystal of the bunch and thank him.
>>
>>29232316
Thank him and explore more
>>
>>29232371
Let's see if he wants to take us to his tribe first.
>>
>>29232345
Lets take a few since tests can destroy them and I doubt we can grow more. That is unless he's giving us all of them and it'd be an insult to refuse.
>>
>>29230622
Just dropping this here since it's related to this quest.
>>
>>29232345
>>29232371
>>29232381
>>29232404
Only needing a small sample of it, you take a few small crystals. One as big as a raisin.
The native looks down at it's pouch. Probably thinking that you would take the whole thing.
It closes it's pouch, picks up it's mining tool and walks off towards the west along the mountains. It waves goodbye before disappearing.
The four of you were about to continue going down the mountain when the native comes back.
"Wilwake Ors," It says; coming up to the four of you, "Q's detth och Eschtverkt?"
Not understanding it, the native says it slower, but miming along with his words. One of the actions you notice being something shaped like a house or a hut.

What do you do?

>>29232420
Yeah I saw that this morning. It's kinda why I had Quiet Vine not want to do sex yet.
>>
>>29232429
I think he want us to come along with him to his clan, well let go with him.
>>
>>29232429
Oh, he wants us to come with him. Let's go.
>>
>>29232446
>>29232460
The four of you decide to follow the native. Who seemed happy to have the four of you follow.

He lead you west along on the mountains for several minutes. Eagle struggled to catch up at first, but quickly starts keeping up.
The five of you were now climbing a hill, one of the many you had to climb so far.
The native stops at the top and waits for the four of you there.
When you reach the top you find yourself looking down on a small village wedged between a rocky outcrop.
The village was made out of animal hide huts, with several native going to and from each one. The lack of farms meant that they were a band of hunters and gatherers.
These natives wore fur coats as well, a few even having masks. One native carving masks out of wood.
A band of child natives ran around the village, chasing and playing with each other.
"Eschtverkt!" The native announces.

What do you do?
>>
>>29232511
Whoah...take a scenic picture of the tribe.
>>
>>29232511
Cool. Let's follow him down.
>>
>>29232528
>>29232551
You take a quick picture of the tribe and follow him down.
Many of the natives stop and look at the four of you as you come by before going back to what they were doing.
A couple do follow. The native leads you to a clearing with what appears to be a fire place in the middle.
The kids have taken the most interest in the four of you. Swarming you and looking at up and down.
One even climbs up to your back and sits behind your helmet, admiring the view.

What do you do?
>>
>>29232723
Play with the children a bit. They must enjoying how big we are. They would love turns being raised up by us.
>>
>>29232723
Take pictures of the children and the tribe. Log everything that's going on. Let Fedot do the communicating.
>>
>>29232733
>>29232738
You play with the children a bit. Picking them up one by one with your hooves. They seemed to enjoy the view you gave them, possibly meaning that they have a great love for heights.
After you picked them all up, they go away heading to the other members of your crew. While your guide watched with a smile.
"Yarsh!" A old, commanding voice rang out.
Through the gathering crowd of natives came an old native. His back hunched over, skin covered in wrinkles, and walking with the support of his decorated staff.
He approaches your guide, who you think is named Yarsh as the chief calls him this multiple times.
They talked for a bit until Yarsh gets excited, probably telling him about the battle with the dragon thing.
The older natives gather around Yarsh as he tells the story. You log things down and take some pictures with several of the children.
The children don't pay much mind to him, swarming around Fedot's paws and climbing up him.
They then grab him and playfully pull him down.
"ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh..." Fedot yells in fake disdain as he disappears under the swarm of children.

What do you do?
>>
>>29232779
Stories being told, culture being shown, and names being used? Log it all!

Fedot, no! We must save him!
>>
>>29232792
You log it all down, as stories, culture, and names were being used. The Chief whispers to one of the natives, who leaves and comes back several minutes later with several stone slabs and a carving tool.
Yarsh starts explaining his story again, and the native starts carving symbols into the slabs of wood. Getting him to repeat a few things.
You then remember Fedot, who was still under the pile of children which has grown in size.
"Fedot, no," You cry in a monotone voice, "I'll save you!"
You start gently pulling the children off one by one until a couple of them grab you and pull you into the swarm. The ones you pulled off quickly joining back in.
You were now underneath a sea of children. All of them laughing as they swarmed over you and Fedot.

What do you do?
>>
>>29232850
We cannot escape. Accept you fate. Our journey ends here... also take pictures of their writing once it's done.
>>
>>29232871
You couldn't escape, there was no escape!
You eventually accept your fate, but the children then get off. Letting you and Fedot get up.
You all end up laughing in the end.
A native walks up to you, holding three stone slabs. Three others on his back.
"Wilwake Ors," It says; presenting the three slabs to you, "Nivz detth."
The slabs were covered in symbols, ones you've never seen before.

What do you do?
>>
>>29232316
Wow. Ok. I'm kind of up to date now. That was pretty stupid to engage the creature.
>>
>>29232939
Uhh...Fedot? What do?
>>29232941
Why?
>>
>>29232939
Two sets of slabs? Do they want to give us a set to keep? Take pictures and try to understand what they want.

>>29232941
A bit dumb to do without an idea of what the creature can do, but at least it managed to pay off big time.
>>
>>29232939
I guess it wants us to take them
Best ask fedot to be sure
>>
>>29232947
>>29232955
>>29232984
"Fedot?" You ask.
"I'd take it." He says.
You take the set given to you and look at the first slab.
The pictures were very hard to understand, though there was one that looked like fire and one in the shape of a pony with a circle around it, representing the helmet you wore.
You couldn't help, but smile at this. They made a symbol for you guys.

What do you do?
>>
>>29232947
Well it would be ideal to not to help the one native due to the chance of harming coming to one of our own.
>>
>>29232955
Maybe, but we won't be so lucky next time. We're a group of explorers, not some soldiers.
>>
>>29232994
Yet the reason why they gave us this remains a mystery. Thanks the shaman for the slabs.

>>29233012
We are bound to get into even bigger shit in the future. That's why we got guns in the first place.
>>
>>29232994
We can decipher the meaning later back on the ship. Are they letting us keep the slabs?
>>
>>29232994
Thank them for their hospitality. Let's head off then. Tons of samples to check out now.
>>
>>29233021
>We have guns
That won't save us from everything. And we should really practice the art of, you know, fleeing and not engaging dangerous and foreign creatures?
>>
>>29233021
And we really should have asked the others of their opinion instead of going in guns blazing.
>>
>>29233068
The whole crew needs to practice dodge rolling. Can't go wrong with that. Also complaining about saving someone is kind of a shitty thing to say. It turned out well in the end anyways.
>>
>>29233068
We were also acting to protect somebody that was defenseless.
>>
>>29232994
Take the slab
Maybe we can work out some of the language although i would not be suprised if somebody else has already done so when we get back.
>>
>>29233090
Agreed, we can't save every innocent being from their own planet. It puts our crew in unnecessary risk. We should talk to our crew in case another similar situation occurs and what they personally want.
>>
>>29233021
>>29233024
>>29233032
>>29233109
You thank them for the slabs and stay there for a bit. Listening to their stories, even if you couldn't understand them they were still interesting to listen to.
You look in the sky to find that it was a little after one or two if you had to take a guess.
The four of you get up and bid them farewell. They let you keep the slabs, which is nice.
"Gyts! Gyts!" A young voice cries out before you're about to leave.
A small native pushes it's way to the front. It was young, very young. Probably the youngest of the tribe.
It stumbles up to you with a bright orange ball in it's hands. When it gets close, it lifts it up to you.
Looking at the ball a bit closer you realize it's a fruit. The fruit seemed to glow from the inside, a orange fire flickering seemed to be flickering inside of it.

What do you do?
>>
>>29233148
cautiously reach for the fruit. Is it offering it too us? We wouldn't want to cause a faux pa now would we?
If it's giving it to us we should thank it.
>>
>>29233148
Thank the boy for the kind gift. We have tons of samples to study now. Going to be a busy day at the labs.
>>
>>29233148
Take the fruit
>>
>>29233148
I'm a little lost guys. What did we do with the two mushrooms growing in the Promethean soil and the equestrian soil? What happened to the electric tree fruit sample?
>>
>>29233181
>>29233191
>>29233206
You cautiously reach for fruit. It lifts the fruit higher.
You take the fruit and hold it. It was surprisingly warm.
You thank the little one for the gift before continuing off. All the natives watch you as you leave, waving goodbye.
Several hills later, one of you decide to speak.
"...That was fun." Eagle smiles.

What do you do?
>>
>>29233249
... Sorry for doing something dumb like that though. I shouldn't have rushed and attacked a random creature like that. We got lucky that time, but I'm not sure if we can continue saving lives like that. I don't want any of you to get hurt.
>>
>>29233249
Agreed
Lets get back to the ship we should send a picture of the slab back to equus maybe somepony there can decypher it.
>>
>>29233298
We still have time for a little more research right? Lets see if we can go back to where that one native was mining and see if we can gather more of those blue crystals. That native was mining those for some reason.
Use Minotaur half-blood strength to split a rock open.
>>
>>29233318
We can quickly get some if we any tools on us right now. Shouldn't be an issue to do so.
>>
>>29233325
We don't have the tools, that is unless the native left their pickaxe here.
>>
>>29233282
>>29233298
>>29233318
"Agreed." You say.
The four of you walk back to the rock, but it would take some time. But, something was eating at you.
"...Sorry for doing something dumb like that," You suddenly say, "I shouldn't have rushed and attacked a random creature like that. We got lucky that time, but I'm not sure if we can continue saving lives like that. I don't want any of you to get hurt."
Quiet Vine hugs you.
"It's okay Rust," She tells you, "None of us were thinking."
"Yeah," Eagle agrees, "I could've been burnt to a crisp by that lightning breath."
"How about when we get back to the ship we can set up some... 'First Contact' guidelines?" Fedot suggests.
You couldn't help, but smile at this. Feeling a tad bit better.

The four of you soon come back to the rock Yarsh was mining.
You approach it and take a few deep breaths, channeling your half-Minotaur heritage.
You raise a hoof and hit the rock, breaking it into two.
The rock was hollow on the inside, with crystals lining the walls of the inner rock. Electricity jumped from crystal to crystal.

What do you do?
>>
>>29233389
We should not try applying electricity to the quasi-dragon like creature. If it does regenerate, a creature such as that could prove to be fatal to everyone inside.
>>
>>29233389
Take it
Very very carefuly
>>
>>29233389
>"How about when we get back to the ship we can set up some... 'First Contact' guidelines?" Fedot suggests.
Fedot knows what's up. Yal anons are a bunch of idjits.
>>
>>29233399
It ran away. All we have are a few scales
>>
>>29233413
If it has the same capacity of regeneration like the Quills, then a few scales are all we need to clone / birth one, WHICH WOULD BE A BAD IDEA.
>>
>>29233389
I'd like to relocate to where that storm happened before we leave.
>>
>>29233423
why?
>>
>>29233421
THIS. Do not clone this one.
>>
>>29233421
If our assumption was correct, it'd end up as a baby dragon.

>>29233427
You don't want to see the after-effects of such a ridiculous natural phenomenon?
>>
>>29233429
Re growing two electrical mushrooms was kind of pushing it. Cloning a creature that can spit lighting would be. So very very bad. It could damage electronics, Serious hurt someone and the ship if it were to throw a tantrum.
>>
>>29233433
Well, maybe if there wasnt a chance of us getting electrocuted if the storm came bad. If we do decide to go there, lets hope that the are has a sufficient amount of tree's and conduit shrooms. Makes it safer.
>>
>>29233406
>>29233423
You pick up one of the halves of the rock very carefully.
The four of you head back to the landing pod. The door opens as you approach.
"There you guys are," Sai greets you, "I see you got a bit of a haul."

What do you do?
>>
>>29233452
That storm was pretty fucking obvious, so we could easily avoid it.
>>
>>29233463
Ask Sai if it's possible to use the lighting mushrooms as a source of power for the ship.
>>
>>29233463
Ya and we made contact with a tribe near here and they gave us three slab of the deed we done.
>>
>>29233463
Ask about if the area that storm happened is safe to land at.

>>29233472
The'y contain rather than generate.
>>
>>29233478
oh. huh. that's pretty neat.
>>
>>29233463
More importantly we made peaceful contact with natives
That might make things easier for whoever is next to visit this planet.
Get him to send a copy of the slabs along with a report of what happened back to equus maybe they have somebody there who will be able to translate some of it.
>>
>>29233463
An eventful run. A mistake paid off big time at least.
>>
>>29233478
And I'm just sitting here wondering if we can use those mushrooms to protect the ship in the case of a solar flare.
>>
>>29233515
It seems to absorb electricity and convert extra energy into some kind of magic that enhances growth and healing.
>>
>>29233529
I know, I'm just wondering if it's do able. I don't know how solar flares work, but Rust can probably test that theory out my making a very small and weak one.
I'm gonna read up on solar flares now.
>>
>>29233472
>>29233474
>>29233511
"Yeah," You reply, "And we made contact with a tribe near here and they gave us three slabs of the deed we done. A mistake paid off big time at least."
"Nice," He says, "Get in, and I'll see if I can translate them."
The four of you get in and strap yourselves in. The rocket soon lifts off of the ground and takes to the air. After several minutes, it lands back in the ship, letting the four of you out.

What do you do?
>>
>>29233543
Science must be done! But first, luch time.
>>
>>29233541
Solar flares are primarily thermal energy.
>>
>>29233543
Give Sai the tablets for translation. Invite Quiet Vine to do science with the crystals and fruit we gathered.
>>
>>29233543
Drop off samples, making sure the fruit is safely locked away, and head to where that storm happened.
>>
>>29233577
This
>>
>>29233577
>>29233599
>>29233605
>>29233631
The four of you have lunch, and then you and Quiet Vine head into the greenhouse for testing. Snowflake and Curiosity watching as the two of you place the crystals and fruit on the table.
"What should we test first?" Quiet Vine asks you.

What do you do?
>>
>>29233671
The crystal maybe?
>>
>>29233671
Let's start with the crystal first.
>>
>>29233671
Examine crystals carefully.
>>
>>29233676
>>29233689
>>29233702
The two of you decide on the crystal. Moving it over so that it was in front of you and Quiet Vine.
Electricity still arched to and from different crystals. Sparking a bit with each jump.

What do you do?
>>
>>29233725
It would be safer if we had rubber booties, or ask Vine if she can do all the manipulations of the crystals using her telekinesis.
>>
>>29233725
Test how much viltage it is releasing.
>>
>>29233725
Try to measure the power in the crystals.
>>
>>29233737
*voltage
>>
>>29233725
Measure the amperage, voltage, etc.
Maybe these things are like little batteries.
>>
>>29233725
Maybe later we can use our mechanical to try and adjust a laser rifle, giving it juuuuust a little more juice for a more inventive laser.
>>
>>29233735
>>29233737
>>29233742
>>29233748
>>29233757
>>29233764
You put on some rubber boots and carefully star measuring the crystals.
The voltage of the crystals was higher than the mushrooms by a few thousand volts, while it's wattage was lower than the mushroom by only a thousand watts.
Not too much of a difference between the crystals and the mushrooms.

What do you do?
>>
>>29233805
Try putting the crystals in some soil with a depleted mushroom see if we have a repeat of the last burst of mushroom growth
>>
>>29233805
Do they convert this energy into something? Mushrooms did so with growth, so do they do something different?
>>
>>29233834
Could simply contain it.
>>
>>29233821
>>29233834
>>29233849
You carefully break one of the crystals off and carry it to the soil with the depleted mushroom. The mushroom having since lost all it's blue color and turned dead grey.
You put the crystal into the soil and wait. A few seconds later the mushroom started glowing blue again, growing bigger and taller.
This growth stops after a few seconds, the mushroom having grown seven inches as well as getting little nubs for future tendrils.

What do you do?
>>
>>29233912
Check if the crystal lost any of it's voltage.
>>
>>29233912
Compare power now. Seems like we just converted just now.
>>
>>29233920
>>29233950
You measure the crystal again. Seeing if it has lost any of it's voltage or wattage.
It has lost most of it's volts and watts. Being left with a few hundred volts and a few thousand watts left.
The mushroom has inherited most of the crystals watts and volts. Now alive and healthy.

What do you do?
>>
>>29233964
Right. So we know the mushrooms will drain it. Now how did these crystal came to be is how I want to know.
>>
>>29233964
The theme of the planet is electricity.
>>
>>29233964
So they act as batteries, pretty much. Nothing groundbreaking. On to the fruit we got from the child. How tough is it? Can we cut it open if we wanted to?
>>
>>29233964
Lets move on to the next specimen
>>
>>29233964
Can't really find out where the crystals came from exactlt. We only know it naturally comes from rocks on this planet and contain unfathomable power. Log and move on to the fruit next.
>>
>>29233992
>>29233999
>>29234008
>>29234009
>>29234016
"They act as batteries pretty much." You mutter.
It wasn't groundbreaking, but some sort of use could be found for it as portable chargers.
You and Quiet move on to the fruit. Quiet Vine takes a knife and carefully cuts the fruit open. You pick the piece up and look at it.
Even though it was warm it was quite wet, almost like a mango.
Inside of the fruit was a large seed, larger than any seed you've ever seen. Quiet Vine carefully took the see out with her magic. The seed glowed red with heat.
"It's pretty hot," Quiet Vine comments; shaking it around a bit, "And hollow too. I can hear something inside of it."

What do you do?
>>
>>29234069
Any thermal imaging?
>>
>>29234069
Do we dare put this into the soil? How hot are we talking here? Is it as hot as Vine? pffffft, that was a terrible attempt at flirting.
>>
>>29234069
Tempted to crack that open but maybe we grow some ouselves before getting rid of our only sample. Identify the fruit and what it contains. Is it harmful for us in anyway?
>>
>>29234069
Let taste the fruit before dealing with the seed.
>>
>>29234069
Im just here for the electricity what do you propose
>>
>>29234069
Let's plant it Prometheus soil and SLOWLY add power to it so it doesn't overgrow on us. Run a toxic scan on the fruit and see if it's safe for consumption.

Also this: >>29234078 as well.
>>
>>29234069
Lets study the qualities of the seed.
We know it glows red with heat, so it's probably not safe to set this down on anything, else it burns or melts a hole through the table. Was the flesh of the fruit absorbing the thermal energy?
>>
>>29234086
No. We gotta taste it for any toxins or a acids.
>>
>>29234086
Please don't taste it. We don't know anything about it yet. Let's inspect it more before eating randomly.
>>
>>29234099
We can't use chemistry to determine that?
>>
>>29234103
Of course, but tasting alien "fruits" off the bat with no knowledge is about the worst things you could do.
>>
>>29234075
>>29234078
>>29234081
>>29234086
>>29234093
>>29234095
>>29234096
>>29234099
>>29234102
>>29234103
>>29234112
You find some thermal imaging and scan the seed. The seed being two thousand degrees. Hot enough to catch wood of fire and to melt iron slightly. The flesh of the fruit absorbing the heat of it and making it cooler.
Sai quickly scans it and presents it to you.
"It is 100% safe to eat." He tells you.
"Do we dare put this in the soil," You ask, "How hot are we talking here? Is it as hot as you? Pffftttt!"
Quiet Vine doesn't look amused.
Quiet Vine puts the seed in the Prometheus-4 soil and the two of you start to add power to the seed. Doing it slowly.
The seed slowly turns into a sprout, growing into a large vine. The vine stops growing and the same fruit starts growing on it. Two of them growing on it.
You stop it after that.

What do you do?
>>
>>29234158
Try eating the first fruit carefully. Don't burn your tongue.
>>
>>29234158
Let's take another seed and dissect it. It sounds like the seeds have a chemical reaction that produces the heat.
>>
>>29234158
Right, now to crack that seed. Do so at a safe enviroment where it can withstand that amount of heat. Taste that fruit also.
>>
>>29234179
>>29234185
>>29234188
You open one of the new fruits and take the seed out.
You then take the fruit and take a bite out of it. It was chewy and moist, filling your mouth with liquid. It had a bit of an aftertaste, but it wasn't too bad.
You look at the seed once more and grab a hammer, ready to crack it open. The problem being that you needed a space place to do so and there wasn't really much of a safe space on the ship.

What do you do?
>>
>>29234233
Go get eagle to build one with you.
Later for now lets just move on to the next specimen
>>
>>29234233
How about an airlock? No fire without air.
>>
>>29234233
Can we get Curiosity in here and see if she likes the fruit.
>>
>>29234251
This. We might need it for future testing also. Let's examine those scales. No growing whatsoever though.
>>
>>29234233
Take a seed out and let it cool for a while. Maybe it will drop temperature over time.
>>
>>29234294
Doubt it. The original seed never dropped in temperature and the fruit does what it can to cool it.>>29234285
>>
>>29234251
>>29234272
>>29234281
>>29234285
>>29234294
"Curiosity! Here girl!"
Curiosity gets up from her place next to Snowflake and canters over. You hold out the fruit for her.
She sniffs at it a few times before taking a small bite. A few seconds later she eats the rest of it in two bites. Walking away with a smile and full cheeks.
You were wondering what to do with the seed to get it opened: You and Eagle could build something as a testing room. You did have sheet iron in the cargo bay. Or you could open it in space, there was an airlock and you had spacewalk suits.
You could also put it somewhere and let it cool, but you or Quiet Vine didn't see anything to place it where it wouldn't try to melt through it.

What do you do?
>>
>>29234328
Leave it for now. Let's check the scales next.
>>
>>29234328
Go with test room idea. We'll have plenty of time while traveling to another planet to build it. We'll have to dispose the seed. We don't even know it will ever cool within a reasonable amount of time. Let's study the scales now.
>>
>>29234347
leave it where?
>>
>>29234355
Leave it as in: worry about it later.
>>
>>29234354
this. We have the tree, so we can always grow more.
>>
>>29234347
Dispose of it. We can't leave it on ship without risk. The tree can easily grow some more safely.
>>
>>29234354
This
Although we will be asleep for a few trips
>>
>>29234361
>tree
I believe it's a vine
>>
>>29234354
>>29234361
>>29234366
>>29234369
You decide to go with the test room idea, though you'll by in cryo as it'll take five days to reach the nearest solar system, but you'll figure something out.
"Sai?"
"Yeah?
"Think you could dispose of this for me?" You ask; holding the seed up.
"Sure." He says; taking it from you.
You take one of the scales from the Pseudo-Dragon and place it under the microscope.
You found that it's scales were made out of ice crystal instead of keratin like many scales are. Which is probably why they were gone in one hit.

What do you do?
>>
>>29234272
Its not on fire, it's just hot.
>>
>>29233389
>First Contact' guidelines
I need to go to work but if this comes up while i am gone way I see it our nation is founded on friendship right from the days of clover the clever we should absolutely try to help out inteligent life where we can.
>>
>>29234409
Ask vine what she thinks
>>
>>29234410
To prevent fire.
>>
>>29234409
Anything else noteworthy with the scales? If not then log everything we found out so far.
>>
>>29234409
Let's try exposing one to electricity.
>>
>>29234409
So they're scales are suited for their natural use of electricity. It helps them conduct it. Other than that, I see nothibg else.
>>
>>29234441
I take that back. Ice poorly conducts electricity. So it's used for protection. My mistake.
>>
>>29234421
I'll keep it in mind for you.

>>29234429
>>29234433
>>29234438
>>29234441
>>29234447
"What do you think?" You ask Vine.
"It's probably more for protection on the planet then anything else." She comments.
Finding nothing else being noteworthy on it you log down everything else you found so far.
It was now four p.m.

What do you do?
>>
>>29234620
That's that. Ask Sai if he had any luck with the tablets. After this we can call ESC one last time and leave to a new system.
>>
>>29234620
Pretty much check the progress on those tablets. Not much major discoveries this time around.
>>
>>29234620
We didn't even try hitting it with electricity.
>>
>>29234637
>>29234673
"That's that," You say, "Any luck on the tablets, Sai?"
"Not really," He says, "Besides a few similar pictures. Their language has no relations to any modern language we know of. Arabic doesn't even translate to it and it's the closest thing to it!"

What do you do?
>>
>>29234694
A dead end then. Let's hop on the call with ESC and report one last time.
>>
>>29234694
We're not gonna be able to translate those tablets without more writing. Unfortunately, we have to move on. Contact ESC once more.
>>
>>29234694
They're a tribal society, so I doubt their language is very advanced. Think closer to early pictographs. Now lets try seeing what happens when we hit a scale with electricity.
>>
>>29234712
>>29234719
>>29234722
"A dead end, huh? We're not going to be able to translate those tablets without more writing. Unfortunately, we have to move on. But, think closer to early pictographs."
You turn back to the scale to see what happens when you hit it with electricity.
You hit it with a bit of electricity. The scale turns black, catches fire, and then ceases to exist.
"...Huh."

After logging what happened you trot over to the cockpit to contact ESC one last time before you went into deep space and out of communication range.
The screen lowers down and Star Bright appears on the screen.
"Greetings Rust Bucket," She smiles, "How have things been?"

What do you do?
>>
>>29234760
Ice caught fire? Try using the mushroom on a scale. This doesn't make sense, every organism on this planet seems to benefit from electricity. Why would there be a creature that protects itself from it?
>>
>>29234760
We just came back from our second expedition. We managed to make friends with the local tribe and they showed us around. They gave us a fruit that has an extremely hot seed and a few tablets which we can't translate. I can send you the logs we made. Also this is probably gonna be our last call. We are moving out of range so...if you have any last minute questions or advice I'm all ears!
>>
>>29234760
So we aren't going to check out what happened after that ridiculous storm? For all we know, it could've triggered spontaneous evolution.
>>
>>29234778
>>29234820
>>29234837
You make a quick mental note to try and figure why the ice scale caught fire, and to why a creature would to protect itself from it.
"We just came back from our second expedition. We managed to make friends with a local tribe and they showed us around. They have us some fruit that has an extremely hot see and a few tablets which we can't translate. I can send you the logs we made."
"Please."
You plug the log in and Star Bright looks through them.
"Interesting," She mutters, "It's almost like a story."
"...This is probably gonna be our last call," You tell her, "We are moving out of range so... If you have any last minute questions or advice I'm all ears!"
"Actually, there's something I need from both you and Quiet Vine."
"What is it?"
"Both of your parents called today," She explains, "Both parents want to hear each of your voices before you leave communication range. Think you and Quiet Vine could say something to them, just a simple recording that we'll give them."

What do you do?
>>
>>29234879
Nothing for Eagle?
>>
>>29234879
Everyone better say their goodbyes. Last chance now.
>>
>>29234879
Just say that we love them a lot and that we will come back in no time, nice and simple. Ask Sai to invite Vine in here. We better stay here while she's making her recording, she might need support after this.
>>
>>29234890
>>29234897
"Nothing for Eagle?" You ask.
"We called her dad earlier," Star Bright says, "We told him we were the ESC and he told us to not call again and hung up... Eagle might have some issues with her dad, but I don't want to pry."
You nod.
"Sai, can you call Vine over?"
Quiet Vine comes about a minute later.
"Yes?" She asks.
Star Bright quickly explains to her what she wants her to do.
"Why don't you start first, Rust?" Star Bright asks.

What do you say?
>>
>>29234934
This: >>29234917 as I was too late.
>>
>>29234934
Damn, maybe we can convince Eagle to at least leave a message at the very least. We'll need to talk to her though.
>>
>>29234945
>>29234978
"Maybe I could convince Eagle to at least leave a message you mutter... Alright, I'm ready."
"It's recording.
"Mom, Dad? ...I don't really have much to say," You start, "But, I'm just going to say: I love you both and I'll come back in no time!"
"Good." Star Bright smiles.
With that, you trot away to find Eagle.

You find Eagle in her room, listening to music with headphones.
"Eagle?" You ask.
"Yeah?" She asks; taking her headphones off.

What do you do?
>>
>>29235037
Hey, Star Bright wants us all to record last messages to our family members. You up for that?
>>
>>29235037
I know that you probably don't want to, but do you at least want to leave a message for your father before we leave for good? You don't have to do it, nor even talk to me about it, but I at least wanted to at least wanted to give you that option before we go.
>>
>>29235075
Ignore my... repeat.
>>
>>29235086
What repeat?

>>29235041
>>29235075
"Hey, Star Bright wants us all to record last messages to our family members. I know you probably don't want to, but do you at least want to leave a message for you father before we leave for good? You don't have to do it, nor even talk to me about it."
She silent for a moment, thinking.
"Fuck him." She says; putting her headphones back on.

What do you do?
>>
>>29235107
Pull her headphones off.

"Eagle, you might not like him, but he's family. Celestia forbid that something happens to us during the expedition, but this is the one and only time you will get a chance to say something to him. Please...just give it a second thought."
>>
>>29235107
It is going to be 2 years before you have a chance to speak.
>>
>>29235107
We can try directly asking her if she wants to talk about one last time. If not, we can't do much to change her mind without coming accross as insensitive.Her choice really.
>>
>>29235136
>>29235149
>>29235154
You trot over and pull her headphones off. She turns and glares at you.
"Eagle," You start, "You might not like him, but he's family. Celestia forbid if something happens to us during the expedition, but this is one and only time you will get to say something to him. Please give it a second thought. It's going to be two years."
She gets up, anger in her eyes.
"My dad never cared about me," She snaps, "He preferred to take all the money and go drinking with his friends and get away from the daughter he never wanted! You don't know the hell I've been through with him, the nights where he would beat me till I crawled away to hide!"
Tears were coming to her eyes at this point.
"You don't know the nights where I had a noose around my neck, thinking about ending it so I wouldn't have to deal with that monster anymore! He'd prefer that I died out here in space just to get more drinking money from my frozen, dead corpse! YOU DON'T KNOW! YOU DON'T KNOW!"
She starts crying more, her legs wobbling as she collapsed to the floor.
"You don't know! You don't... know!"
She starts crying fully. Curling up into a ball and crying on the floor.

What do you do?
>>
>>29235215
Shit...try to pat her on the back to comfort her.

"I'm sorry...I didn't know..."
>>
>>29235215
Damn it, we should asked if she wanted to talk about it first. Give her your best bear hug that we can muster to comfort her. Apologize for assuming.
>>
>>29235251
I don't think we should bear hug her. She seems really emotionally unstable right now. You gotta be careful with abuse victims.
>>
>>29235215
Would you like to tell him about any of that? Also, might be a good idea to tell ECS that you don't want him to get any of your money.
>>
>>29235275
How about we try patting her and only hug her sofly if she accepts any physical contact?
>>
>>29235294
Sure, but if she backs off then it's probably a bad idea to touch her.
>>
>>29235320
Agreed, don't want to go past what is acceptable to her.
>>
>>29235240
>>29235251
>>29235275
>>29235287
>>29235294
You get down and pat her on the back.
"I'm sorry," You tell her, "I didn't know..."
You really didn't know. Abuse was very rare in Equestria. There was an abuse story from time to time, but why abuse wasn't common was Equestria has strict laws in place that punishes abusers greatly and usually before they could cause permanent emotional harm. It was very rare for somepony to receive if for their entire foalhood and not get any help. It was even rarer for it to a pony doing the abuse as it was mostly minorities.
She grabs your hoof as you pat her on the back and pulls herself up before wrapping you in a hug as she continues to sob.
"Would you like to tell him any of that," You ask, "Might be a good idea to tell ESC that you don't want to give him your money."
"I don't know," She cries, "He'll kill me if he finds out! I still live with him, I don't have enough money to buy my own place, apartment, anything!"
She continues to cry.

What do you do?
>>
>>29235340
Well I'm sure you will have enough for all of that and then some after the expedition. And if you still need a place to stay then you are welcome to crash at my apartment anytime.
>>
>>29235340
So he'll chase you into space? Also, I think you might have enough money after this mission.
>>
>>29235340
I won't let that happen. I can't leave someone like you knowing all this happening to you. After this entire expedition, you can stay with me if you want if don't have enough money.
>>
>>29235365
>>29235368
>>29235397
"So he'll chase you into space," You ask, "I'm sure you will have enough for all of that then some after the expedition. I can't leave someone like you knowing all this happened to you. After this entire expedition, you can stay with me if you want if you don't have enough money."
"Thank you!" She cries; hugging you tighter and continuing to cry.

It's been several minutes now.
Eagle has stopped crying a while ago, but she was still hugging you as the two of you stared at the wall. Neither of you sure on what to say right now.

What do you do?
>>
>>29235424
So uhh...you gonna be ok? Because I should really go check on my marefriend...
>>
>>29235424
Hey... you feeling a little better now, or do you need more time? We can talk to ESC about leaving him behind. Besides, we won't lit him try anything if he does something.
>>
>>29235445
We should help her talk to ESC and not really mention about needing somewhere else to go. She'll feel unimportant which would lower her self-esteem even further as it is.
>>
>>29235468
This.

>>29235445
>"I know you need a lot of help, but I'm going off to do anything else than spend time with you."
>>
>>29235445
Fuck off anon.
>>
>>29235454
>>29235468
>>29235495
>>29235516
"You feeling better now?"
She nods.
"We can talk to ESC about leaving him behind. Besides, we won't let him try anything if he does something."
She nods. The two of you get up and leave her room, heading to the cockpit.
"Hey Eagle," Star Bright greets her, "...Are you okay? It looks like you've been crying."

What do you do?
>>
>>29235525
Sweet. Instead of leaving the money to Eagles dead beat dad, she could just leave it all in a savings account. What's her dad gonna do? Intimidate her? She'd have to go through Rust who's, mind you, a fuck huge pony.
>>
>>29235525
We just wanted to talk about something about regarding the money that Eagle would leave behind if something were to happen.

Let her speak on her behalf. Give her encouragement and comfort when need during all this when she speaks. In her eyes, this is extremely difficult for her to do, so treat as such.
>>
>>29235577
A fuck huge beef cake of a pony. Unf.
>>
>>29234421
I'm gonna say maybe on that.
How much do we want to interact with the natives? How will we influence them?
>>
>>29235525
>You trot over and pull her headphones off. She turns and glares at you.
Wow. Rude. Which one of you thought that was a good idea?
>>
>>29235636
They're also the issue on how advanced they would also be. The natives most likely didn't recognize us as something beyond this planet. Others might be more paranoid and know what we are.
>>
>>29235577
>>29235583
>>29235591
"We just wanted to talk about something about regarding the money that Eagle would leave behind if something were to happen." You say.
She step up. You place a hoof on her for encouragement, which gives you a smile from her.
"Star Bright," She starts, "If I were to die on this mission. I would like the money that would be given to my family to go somewhere else."
"Family troubles?" Star Bright asks.
"More like my dad doesn't want me to exist," Star Bright says, "I would like my money to be given to somepony else if I were to die on this mission."
"Anypony specific?" She asks with a smile.
"A charity," Eagle says, "Specifically The Blue Ribbon Project."
"I'll get right on that," Star Bright says, "Do you wantu to tell your dad?"
Eagle turns to you.
"Should I?" She asks.

What do you do?
>>
>>29235673
I don't know him or how he would react, but if you still live back at his place then it's probably not a good thing to anger him since you will have to come back eventually to pick up your stuff. It's up to you though...
>>
>>29235673
If you think you can handle it, I also want him to see what awaits him if he dares try to get do anything to you again. Of course, this is up to you. No matter what, I will support you to the end of this.
>>
Stopping for the night.
There's a high chance that I have classes tomorrow, a lot of the roads are ice and snow free. If there is classes tomorrow, session will start at three thirty or four. If they cancel classes, I'll let you know in the morning when I wake up.
Have a good night or day!
>>
>>29235743
Night
>>
>>29235689
>>29235716
>>29235673
We could always offer to bend him over when we return, if he tries anything.
>>
>>29235961
Over our lap or over a table?
>>
>>29235989
Either one, he's gonna get it.
>>
Eavesdropping on Eagle and Vine seemed really stupid.
>>
>>29236833
10 Bump. We'll need a new thread after a few more QM post. don't forget to add something to every new OP
>>
>>29235673
Probably best not to if you die he will just have to deal with the disapointment of not getting any money.
You should record some sort of final message though not for your father but for history.
In fact get fedot in here as well to do the same.
>>
>>29236965
It's a bit too early to start recording our final messages. How about this. Every month everyone in the crew will make a "final moments" message.
>>
>>29237318
I meant a final pre journy message.
So ponys in the future can get a glimpse of what it was like heading out for us
>>
God apparently wants me to write as they closed classes today due to new snowfall over icy roads. I'll start at noon.
>>
>>29237916
Will this streak ever end?
>>
>>29237930
>idaho covered in snow for all eternity.
>>
>>29237968
Seems like that. Some towns near the Oregon border have reported blackouts and they just called in the National Guard to help clear snow.
>>
>>29237975
>1-2 degrees all day
Please stay warm pluto
>>
>>29237975
Soneone pissed God off. That or he is some sort of QM doing this on pupose.
>>
>>29238340

"I don't know how he'll react," You tell her, "If you think you can handle it, I also want to see what awaits him if he dares try to do anything to you again. I will support you in the end, no matter what."
She gives you a thankful smile and turns to Star Bright.
"...Tell him that he won't get the money and it was me that decided this." Eagle tells her.
Star Bright nods.
"Alright. If you were to die we'll make sure that you dad doesn't try anything to get it," Star Bright smiles, "Is there anything else you want to say before you leave communication range?"

What do you do?
>>
>>29239019
Nothing from me. Did Vine already do her recording? Anything you wanna add, Eagle?
>>
>>29239019
Time to check if Vine spoke to her parents before leaving. Congratulate Eagle actually speaking about for herself. She did extremely well for overcoming something frightening to her.
>>
>>29239042
>>29239083
"Nothing for me," You reply, "Did Vine do her recording?"
"Yes she did." Star Bright nods.
"...Anything else you want to add, Eagle?"
"No." She replies.
"Looks like that's it."
"Alright," Star Bright says, "I wish you all luck, a safe journey, and a safe return."
She salutes and then the screen turns off.
"Nice job, Eagle," You congratulate her, "Speaking for yourself."
"Thanks," She smiles; before frowning, "Sorry for snapping at you in my room."

What do you do?
>>
>>29239092
No, It's fine. I'm sorry for assuming in the first place. I didn't know about your father.
>>
>>29239092
No apologies necessary. I should of asked you more gently if you wanted to talk about it instead of assuming. I made this day be a pain in the ass for you. For that, I'm sorry for it all.
>>
>>29239092
Yeah we were kind of in the wrong.
>>
>>29239114
>>29239122
>>29239148
"No apologies necessary," You tell her, "I'm sorry for assuming in the first place. I didn't know about your father... I made this day be a pain in the ass for you. For that, I'm sorry."
Eagle looks at the ground again. She then trots over to you and wraps her forelegs around you in a hug, adding wings with it.

What do you do?
>>
>>29239157
We are apparently huggable. Give her a cuddly bear hug back. Let her enjoy the comfort as long as she wants.

Walking a thin line here. Unfortunately, we can't leave someone behind with issues like this.
>>
>>29239157
Return the hug.

"You know where to find me if you wanna talk about stuff like this. My door is always open...so to speak."
>>
>>29239184
>>29239196
You were apparently very huggable.
You raise your legs and return the hug. The two of you hugging in silence.
"You know where to find me if you wanna talk about stuff like this," You tell her, "My door is always open... so to speak."
Eagle nods.
You weren't very sure how you could help her. You didn't know very much about emotional abuse. As far as you know: Abuse stayed with you for life.
"You two ready to head to the next solar system?" Sai asks.

What do you do?
>>
>>29239216
Let's ask the others but to me yes.
>>
>>29239216
Yeah, go for the next closest system. So Eagle, you feeling hungry at all?
>>
>>29239216
We weren't there for her when Vine said goodbye to her mother. Both of us should go check on her before we go off to eat. Reassure her that this isn't her fault.
>>
>>29239243
>>29239248
>>29239255
"For me, yes," You say, "Go for the closest system. What about the others?"
"Vine and Fedot said: Yes," Sai tells you, "Eagle?"
"Ready." She replies.
"Alright, Vine and Fedot are waiting for the two of you in the cryo room."
"You feeling hungry, Eagle?" You ask.
"No," She answers, "...Should we head to the cryo room?"

What do you do?
>>
>>29239271
What about the animals?
>>
>>29239271
Sure
>>
>>29239271
Looks like everyone is ready. Time to mess with the theory of relativity.

>>29239295
Good point, what will we do with them?
>>
>>29239271
Alright, let's go.
>>
>>29239295
Oh yeah, the animals. Can Sai use his claws to feed them or will he need to wake us on occasion to feed and clean them?
>>
>>29239295
>>29239296
>>29239302
>>29239303
>>29239305
"Time to mess with the theory of relativity," You smile; you and Eagle trotting down the ship, "What about the animals?"
"I've been thinking about making them cryo beds of their own," Sai tells you, "I have all the parts for cyro beds for them. I'm also capable of feeding them. I did so while you were on Prometheus-4. So you don't need to worry about them."
The two of you get to the cryo room to find the other two waiting. Quiet Vine smiles at you when you enter.
The four cryo beds in the room open up. Revealing a nice interior to the beds.
"Enter the cryo beds and lay on your back." Sai says, "That's all there is to it."

What do you do?
>>
>>29239344
Nervously enter the cryo bed.
>>
>>29239344
Nothing suspicious about Siri asking us to enter a random bed of his, while telling us nothing wrong will happen to us. Nope, nothing wrong with this at all. Go to sleep...
>>
>>29239358
We've done this before. No need to be worried.
>>
>>29239377
There is only one bed large enough to accommodate our size. There is nothing random about this, and nothing to be worried about. Why are you guys nervousness about the cryo beds now?
>>
>>29239389
>>29239397
I don't we have done it before. And Sai telling us to take a five day nap is not ominous at all.
>>
>>29239397
Just a randomly joking around the act of Siri asking us to enter his beds with little input. Not really nervous of entering personally.
>>
>>29239404
Of course it's not. We're supposed to take cryo sleep if the trip is longer then a day or something.
>>
>>29239358
>>29239377
>>29239389
>>29239397

>>29239412
Three days.

You nervously get into your cryo bed.
'Nothing suspicious about this,' Your brain jokes, but panicking slightly, 'Siri asking us to enter a random bed of his, while telling us nothing wrong will happen to us. Nope, nothing wrong with this!'
You're all in your cryo beds soon enough. The lid to yours slides close, leaving you with little light inside. Though, you were starting to wonder why you were so nervous about this.
You feel a liquid touch your body, quickly going up and over you. Soon filling the bed.
You were confused as to how you were breathing in water, when you realize that it was more like a gel then actual water.
*pop*
The water gel starts to get cold.
*pop pop pop*
You see some ice start to form near your right foreleg. Quickly growing in size.
*pop poppoppoppopoppop-*
Your vision turns to an icy white, and everything stops.

What feels like to be mere seconds the ice starts melting and cracking all over.
It breaks and you sit up, breathing fresh air of the ship.
Your crewmates follow. Quiet Vine shivering as she gets up from her cyro bed.
"Good morning everyone," Sai greets you, "It's been five days, probably a few seconds for you. And, we're about to enter the system."

What do you do?
>>
>>29239473
Hug Vine to warm her up. Ask Siri what time it is and how the pets are doing.
>>
>>29239473
About time we broke the ice. Warm Vine with our body heat. Ask the time.
>>
>>29239494
>>29239511
You get out of the cryo bed and trot over to Quiet Vine. Picking her up out of it and holding her close to you so that she could warm up.
"How are the pets doing?" You ask.
"Ask them yourself."
Snowflake and Curiosity stood near the door. They were well-fed by the looks of things as their bellies didn't show an inch of bone.
Snowflake quickly runs across the room and next to your legs, nuzzling you. Curiosity takes her time coming over. Deciding to see Eagle first.
"What time is it?" You ask.
"A little before ten in the morning," He replies, "We should be entering the solar system in five to ten minutes, where we'll slow down and fly in slowly. I also found something interesting while you were in the cryo beds. It looks like one of our satellites, but older. I don't remember us ever launching a satellite this far into space."

What do you do?
>>
>>29239560
Wait... if we have no record of these satellites then does that mean they are someone else's? This may get interesting. We need a closer look at that satellite.
>>
>>29239560
"That's odd. Maybe the satellite doesn't belong to ESC at all. Thanks for taking care of our pets, Sai."

Keep warming Vine up and deploy her on our back. Let's go to the kitchen so we can see the new planets.
>>
>>29239560
Could be another country's.
>>
>>29239560
Odd i guess some other culture must have ended up with similar satalite designs to us
>>
>>29239576
>>29239590
>>29239600
>>29239611
"Could be another country's." You mutter, "...We have no records of this satellite?"
"No records," He says, "Doesn't even match another country's."
You pick Vine up and place her on your back. Wanting to see the satellite first.

The satellite wasn't very large, only taking up a tiny bit of room in the cargo bay. It had a large disc in the front with two long antennas on the bottom, with two long solar panels.
The satellite did look similar to the first satellites launch, with the same design. The only difference being that the disc on the front was made of a material that has never been used in space flight.
You look around it and find a little compartment on the side with a small handle, with something inside of it.
You open the compartment up and take the item out:
It was a large, golden record disc. One that would be used on a record player. The record was very old, covered in dust and it's label worn down, but you could make out the label as it was surprisingly in Equish:
"The sounds of Earth
United States of America
Planet Earth"
Planet Earth? Nopony ever called Equus, Earth.

What do you do?
>>
>>29239670
Oh crap! It's the Voyager Golden Record! We definitely need to watch this!
>>
>>29239670
Holy shit. CYOA is going full meta. Let's pop the record in if we can.
>>
>>29239670
We are going to make contact with earth at some point.... I'm both scared and excited by this concept.
>>
>>29239670
Try to play the disc and see if Sai can calculate the point of origin of the satellite.
>>
>>29239695
Could've gone through a portal or something.
>>
>>29239670
W gotta watch this pronto. This.....this came from another world, but it's like ours!
>>
>>29239670
Parellel planets mah nigga's
>>
>>29239670
Find something to play it.
This seems to be a planet that speaks the same language as us somehow we need to find it.
>>
>>29239670
Bruh. Bruh......Aliens.
>>
>>29239670
Well equestria itself was called earth by the earth ponys for about a day.
Oh fuck we are gonna spend 2 hearths warming eves in space we may even be asleep for them.
>>
>>29239740
No Anon... we are the aliens. Too many coincidences here. Similar language is way too convenient to write off.
>>
>>29239747
We could always ask Sai to notify us.
>>
>>29239670
If we have nothing to play this on then lets look for parts to make the record player or whatever.
>>
>>29239753
We're both aliens.
>>
>>29239686
Yep! I'm kinda nervous about this choice though. Not sure if people would like that I MIGHT add humans in the future.

>>29239685
>>29239695
>>29239708
>>29239712
>>29239715
The four of you decide to try and see if you could watch it. It takes a bit, but after connecting a record player with a video monitor it starts playing.
Nothing happens for a few seconds, and then you're all hit by the sounds of different animals. Many of them were ones that you knew: Birds, tigers, elephants, whales, and a bunch more. Each sound being accompanied by a picture of the animal. The animals all seemed to be less colorful though, whether that was the photos was beyond you. It starts to play wind, thunder, waves.
"Hello!" A voice came from the record.
There was then what seemed to be a bunch of different beings speaking in different languages. Some you knew, some you never heard before.
Pictures of mathematical and physical equations. It then shows a solar system with eight different planets. An arrow pointing to a smaller one near the sun of the system.
It shows you each planet one by one. One you think is their home planet which looked like a blue marble in the sky when showed.
It moves to DNA, and then a strange bipedal creature with no hair except on it's head.
It then shows different pictures of these creatures: Walking, eating different foods, and even them in their cities.
Their cities were huge, filled with thousands of them with massive buildings that stretch towards the sky.
The record then plays a variety of different music before ending. Leaving the four of you in silence.

What do you do?
>>
>>29239786
We are gonna have to keep an eye out for this planet there are so many similarities to our own and those hairless bipeds were really sexy.

There must be a reason for it
>>
>>29239786
Okay... we found a record on a similar satellite design to ours, that of which contained a record filled with recordings of similar languages, animals, and cultures of another race of creature that sent this to space for us to see and hopefully find. Looks like they wanted aliens to visit them on an idea of who they are...

...I need a drink.

Please post responses here in new thread:

.......We should get into contact with the ESC ASAP. They need to see this.
