>>25264747>you are Manos>you continue your walk down the R&D laboratories>as you pass each room you take a glance inside>both to look for Honor Bound and to see what new studies are being done>most of the rooms are just ponies looking over files and papers scribbling scientific data>but there are a few that catch your eye>one room had a few ponies replicating ammunition for the weapons you currently have>a few other rooms had ponies trying to build a copy of the vehicle you brought back>they are getting pretty close, but they dont have a working engine yet so its just a pile of metal on wheels>finally you find Honor Bound>he and cadence are looking over the designs you recently made>both the new weapon and the plans to adapt the older ones to ponies"how is everything shaping up Honor Bound?"
>the two ponies turn to you>"Lord manos">Honor Bound bows his head >"everything is going smoothly, however i have a few questions about you new designs""go ahead and ask"
>you walk inside and take a look at the collected designs both yours and other scientists>"this new weapon.. the ammunition used in it seems like it would be different from that we currently have replicated.""yes, it uses a different ammunition, it would be very similar to the smaller ones you have studied but a few changes. it shouldnt be too hard for your scientists to figure out"
>"i will have a team start research and development immediately. the sooner we have this new weapon the better.">you look over to Cadence"and while i have you here Cadence, ive been meaning to ask you something, what have you been doing with my little pet queen?"
>Cadence smiles a little proud of herself>>"as of a few days ago she has been assisting me with keeping changelings in our camps orderly, its rather amazing how those little parasites can suddenly become perfect laborers">you dont look nearly as excited as she seems to be"you really think thats a good idea?"
