MOBILE COMBAT FRAME ACTIVATED.
STATUS: 100%
THREAT LEVEL ASSESSMENT: LOW
Near the center of the machine's chest, the dome-encased head of Rampart struggles visibly
I will do all I can to hold it back as long as I can.
Please stop us.

The red voice is Secondary Control - a nearly non-sentient remnant of a once-pony
The yellow voice is Primary Control - the mind-slaved head of Rampart
>>441003
Oh wait, it was simpler than it looked.
You just needed to unlock the hoof pads and stand on them.
Luckily you only need the front two.
You may move one Turn closer on a MIN5
TIARA IS 10 TURNS AWAY
>>441015
You pop the head back on and give it a pat.
We thank you for caring. But should we not focus on the enemy?
>>441023
Bolstered and good to go.
The TIARA Core scans you over
INITIATING PLAN OMEGA.
It lunges out a long arm to try and grab one of you.
All, roll to dodge.
The lowest failure ends up helpless.

You smash the arm aside and break loose
>>441086
Liviana then heals you up.

>>441103
Another slow, painful step as TIARA drags itself along.
TIARA IS IN RANGE IN 7 TURNS
>>441100
You attack the arm, bending the joints on it ans denting the armor
>>441099
Kilana then capitalizes on the chance to damage it further by jamming one of the joints with an arrow.
>>441108
And Godric lays into it further, only to get grabbed by the other arm
>>441110
Blanket terminology for the sake of simplicity.
Be careful. If you damage it greatly, it will unleash further countermeasures! If you have a plan, get to it, or if not… well… keep hitting it.

All that remains is a broken wreckage, with the chest and back of the frame in one piece, the legs in several, and the top shattered, leaving Secondary Command stranded.

"I am Waxing Crescent, and now that the Secondary control has been… detained, I can speak candidly. I, and my companions, are in the High King's retinue. The High King himself came to end this civil war. Through diplomacy he managed to get the rebel and royal factions to work together, and with our help he managed to stop TIARA before it made it to the Unbreakable City. Many lives were saved today. Including yours."

"Not as long as you might think. The civil war was incited by the Equestrian Lordblade, Rivetstrike. Once you discovered his intentions, and hopefully when you realized what the civil war was doing to Timberjaw, you attempted to end your partnership with him, prompting him to put you in a more manageable position. He gloated as much about the latter."
I'll nod slightly.
"But, I'm certain the High King would be most willing to hear your story. And the others as well."

It all began simply enough. I was unhappy with the new, weaker method of construction promoted by Craghoof, and designed TIARA to enable traditional style buildings to be built as cheaply and quickly as new style ones without it.
Rivetstrike, my friend of many years, begun rallying help to my cause of showing Craghoof a third alternative. But as I was often engrossed in my work, Rivetstrike was the one who spread the word… the twisted word.
When I realized he was altering the plans to weaponize TIARA, I threatened to stop working on it. He answered by placing guards on me at all times to ensure I did not stop.
So I tried to flee, and he cut off my legs.
Then, I tried to intentionally sabotage the project by making bad plans. So he reduced me to… this. And added Secondary Command to keep my mind locked wide open, as I was forced to share mine with his.
…so now you know.
I never wanted a war. I wanted a better solution than what Craghoof was offering.

You have secured the remains of Rampart, Secondary Control and Rivetstrike.
TIARA lost 4 legs in the battle, and one quarter is blind.
Frostmourn is available on deck for a while before he leaves to settle the final deals with Craghoof.
Valeriana is in Ironfoe with Highhorn.

The remaining guards on board TIARA were arrested by the United North's army as they tried to flee. Several died in the battle.
The rebel captain reports that the messengers were stopped, and that the rebellion has accepted peace under Frostmourn.

"Master Rampart is still attached to the remains of the combat frame at the moment. It seems TIARA was actually his response to Craghoof's ideas of compromise, and an effort to reduce the costs that were bleeding the country dry. As he spent most of his time in development, Rivetstrike, the Equestrian Lordblade, twisted Rampart's ideals and message into one of civil war."
At this I'll produce Rivetstrike's head, since I doubt it's been taken into custody.
"I thought it prudent to hold onto this for questioning, not only about the events in Timberjaw, but also as to the current strength of Equestria, and any other spies he might have been aware of."
"As you say, my king."

"Maybe his brilliance comes in quickly learning, but learning alone does not make a good individual, understanding to form new ideas does. There has to be something…"
Going off after this. I'll wait for another response from either Highhorn or Valeriana.

I have tried to keep him on a kingly path, though that has proven somewhat difficult after the representatives from the Trotantine empire arrived.

Because.. Valerianna, told me that her shadows can and her communicate the way they do because they are actually a part of her.. and if I part of me was coming off anyway It wouldn't go to waste.. also, considering how much both that pumpkin and valerianna have shortened their lifespans, I feel.. I don't have forever to figure this out.. I thought this would be an easy choice, but.. Its not.

It's really quite hard to miss what her desires for the night where, even if she keeps her front hooves to a nice little hug and pinches her eyes shut, she can't stop her hips from moving on their own, grinding her overflowing mareparts against you, the kneading movement of her legs only making it worse as her teats heave left and right, or indeed in this horizontal state, up and down, against your nethers.
"I'msorryI'm sorryI'msorry…"

She then shakily tries to put a hoof around you, hoping you won't notice how much she is spreading her legs to give you ore freedom of movement.

"Keep in mind that our empire was founded back when ponykind was still tribal. Our ancestors were exclusively earth ponies who had little knowledge of arcane or elemental magic, as those were the unicorn tribe's forte. The imperial archives have extensive records on fields of magic such as necromancy, earth magic and the divine, but very little in the ways of the arcane. We do have a national arcane academy that was started by unicorn immigrants back when the great winter swept through the Old Lands, but their feats aren't exactly what I'd call… impressive."
