Oh my.
You find her in her new lab near the Warrens.
There's a sign on the door saying "Danger! Poisonous gas experiment might be in progress. Use a gas mask while coming in."
You see some primitive gas masks shaped like a large beak next to the door.

Yes, there's a door on the other side.

Nope, it doesn't.
>>611741
She leans forward.
"How do you know? Did you…"
>>611742
"Very well then, I'll join you, if you think that's necessary."

It would appear that my assumptions were correct. Check out both and start reading at once, here in the library. I'd like to have a basis of understanding before I branch out, so I'll start with the book on energy. Consult the table of contents and appendix, then look up the radiation.

Unique form of energy release. Occurs when the astral matrix of an object has been altered from its original natural form. Some radioactive objects have been found within nature but most are created artificially by mages.
When confronted by radioactive objects protection by lead materials are vital to prevent illness or death.

In earlier ages, transmutation and conjuring of magical items was a taboo in magical circles. Many sorcerers that transformed for example metal into gold were struck by mysterious illnesses. The theologians of those days called it "The Law of Immutability." The Universe was created perfectly and adding materials or changing
existing materials was seen as a sin and resulting illnesses as divine retribution.
The excessive amounts of radioactivity encountered at Black Lemarian sites led researchers to believe their demise was a direct punishment of the gods for their arrogance (Star Shine 113-115)
This changed through the research of the magus Rice Curry connected to the Vilitian Academy who discovered and mapped the astral matrix of iron. He proved that the curse was actually a continuous release of chaotic energy as the matrix attempts to reconfigure itself back to its original state. In theological circles this particular kind of energy is often linked to Discord (Golden Path 88).

" I admit I have always been rather curious of the princessess and their followers. Perhaps if you are not too busy or neither of us are in a mission…We Could discuss about them…"

Introduction.
After the publication of the first edition of Study of Lemarian Machinery I had the honor of being contacted by the Prince's Comittee for City Security. They expressed their concerns over certain passages within, citing the potentially disastrous consequences of misuse. Heeding their wise council, I set upon rewriting this book. I hope this book will give the student of both magic and technology an insight into the diverse applications of Lemarian technology.
Ever since the disappearance of the Lemarians no civilization has matched their level of technology.
One can only guess how much of their knowledge has been lost to the teeth of time.
I have endeavored in this book to give a thorough description of the various artifacts found in Vilitus, theories about their use and practical applications.
Lemarian machinery is often approached with a sense of awe, as if one is encroaching on sacred ground. I hope that this document will show the student that Lemarian technology while sophisticated is still based upon the same magical properties we use today. Through careful study and experimentation it is my sincere hope that one day through reverse engineering we may reach such a level again.

You cross an alley as suddenly a group of rugged ponies surround you.
"Lookie boys. Two mares. It's our lucky day."
>>611802

>>611804
You recognize a few of the names. It's a reasonable assumption.
>>611808
I assumed you were reading the book inside the library.
>Storage Sites
Storage sites, sometimes called Vaults by explorers are one of the most sought after sites of the Lemarians.
In these strongly sealed chambers the Lemarians housed their vast wealth. Gold, diamonds and their most jealously guarded technologies.
Only two Vaults have been found so far, the Arvintuth Vault near Canterlot and the Grobtar Vault in Trotantium.
In both cases, the opening of the Vault led to terrible sickness as the explorers spent the gold, not knowing of its unnatural origins and deadly radiation. This led to current policies that all discovered Vaults must be reported to authorities and properly sealed.
Yet the Vaults did not simply bring death. In the Arvintuth Vault, an undamaged Astra-Physical core converter was found leading to a revolution in our academic understanding of the different planes of existance.
Note: details on opening a Vault were omitted by the decree of the Prince's Comittee for City Security.
The librarian looks at you.

"Well, it's no secret that we're both specialists in ancient magical societies. I wanted to compare some notes with him, colleague to colleague. Really, I should've done it when we were both working here, but you know how classes can distract from getting down to research. If you're really interested in the specifics, I think I've determined a new way of cataloging tomb dust by comparing density to age ratios. In particles with magic resonance, I've noted a 20% higher alignment with predicted significant figure calculations as opposed to when using modern mass spectrometry. I hoped that Doctor Curry had kept his records on the dust accumulation tables that he outlines in Chapter 4 of his book, because he lists age but not density. With any luck, he took the measurements or at least kept samples, and I can create a peer-reviewed equivalency. I don't mean to get ahead of myself, but this could usher in a whole new era of the way we as scientists look at the weight of dust with a projected age in the middle-ancient age category. Exciting stuff, no?"

If you're really interested in the specifics, I think I've determined a new way of cataloging tomb dust by comparing density to age ratios. In particles with magic resonance, I've noted a 20% higher alignment with predicted significant figure calculations as opposed to when using modern mass spectrometry. I hoped that Doctor Curry had kept his records on the dust accumulation tables that he outlines in Chapter 4 of his book, because he lists age but not density. With any luck, he took the measurements or at least kept samples, and I can create a peer-reviewed equivalency. I don't mean to get ahead of myself, but this could usher in a whole new era of the way we as scientists look at the weight of dust with a projected age in the middle-ancient age category. Exciting stuff, no?"

The place looks gloomy. There's a derelict statue here of a zebra. Arachnia, one of the most legendaey mages of Vilitus.
Her statue is covered in spiderwebs but you see no spiders.

They'll probably round up every vagrant they can find. Once they don't find you they'll go looking for a donkey in the city itself, though they'll be more careful there. If you go topside, be on your guard. I would recommend not going alone.

You punch the wall open and hundreds of spiders crawl out over the wall.
Glowing shrieks.
>>614642
>>614643
>>614644
You open up the next door into the hallway.
But the hallway is not the same anymore.
It's covered in some green substance and full of empty coccoons hanging from the wall.
A changeling hive.
"Celestia preserve us.." mutters Flint.
"Good. The Changelings are flooding the sewers looking for a vagrant donkey.
They'll probably round up every vagrant they can find. Once they don't find you they'll go looking for a donkey in the city itself, though they'll be more careful there. If you go topside, be on your guard. I would recommend not going alone.
Until further orders I'll seal off the sewer entrance to the base. The topside entrance is a little more risky but at least it's not flooded with Changelings."
>>614638
"I don't trust her either. But she might be the only one of us with some knowledge. See if she says something, but don't let her near it."

"Not the HQ of the Red Guard. The Tower of the Prince. Stupid Blood Diamond and his hard on for the Prince."
>>614649
>>614646
For the record, you're in the house hallway, it's been turned to a Changeling Hive in this time. Just to clarify, you're still in the house.
>>614648
They crawl around towards you, but you don't get any hostile vibes.
Glowing makes whiny sounds.

"We did reconaissance for the past few days.
Posing as workers and infiltrating their Archives.
That basically means I have to keep up a physical illusion on us and a distorting aura to keep the Hivemind off our backs…it's exhausting."
>>614655
You're in the hallway.
You see a door on the other side. There should be the door to the cellar at the end…
>>614653
He nods.

Vilitus City
A desert city of greed, where small warlords fight for power under the watchful eye of the Triumvirate.
You have been chosen to overthrow the Triumvirate and bring Order back to this princessforsaken town. How you do this is up to you. The Triumvirate is always watching. The Dukes are always fighting. How can anypony break the cycle?
>>614663
You were talking in a fancy restaurant to your friend Elana.
"The Red Tower? By the Ancestors, no, it's too dangerous…do you know what the Changelings would do to you if they found you?"
>>614659
>>614662
You both are still together in this house, seemingly torn in time.
As you move through the hallway with unborn Changelings hibernating in the walls you hear explosions and screams from outside. At the end of the hallway you see a flash of light.
>>614660
You were investigating Arachnia's Haunt. Spiders crawling all around you. There's only one way forward, going deep into the pit created here.
"I-I hate spiders….." says Glowing.
>>614663
I suppose that's Morgana's bar to tell her about your success in discovering what's going on in the homeless shelter?
>>614661
You're in the hideout, you were being uncharacteristically kind to Phantasm after learning she's been keeping the Master safe during their exploits in the Archives.
Phantasm looks up at you.
"It's just my job…."

"You're damn right it's your job."
Grab her hoof and pull her up.
"Now stop lying on the floor like some slob. You ought to get some proper rest in a bed. Last thing you want now is a hernia or whatever it's called."

He headed towards the only path available

>>632140
You head over to the Fata Morgana.
The bouncer lets you in and you find yourself in the company of captains, officials and mercantilists all here to spend some time with the lovely mares who are bending themselves in lovely poses on the dance floor. Morgana will be with you shortly says the bouncer, get yourself a drink, on the house.
>>632142
She slowly gets up again.
You've never seen her so…tired. Without a snarky comment, she just slowly walks to the Masters office up in the Hideout.
The Master himself takes no heed of her and walks back up to you.
"Echo, it's been a great day. We've finally been able to confirm Miseri's story.
There was a rogue Changeling Lady long ago. And we believe it's Miseri. I think we should pressure her further to learn more secrets of the Hive."
>>632143
You head inside the dark tunnel.
Spiders move aside as you pass.
You hear a voice from deep within.
"I know who you are, Maali…"

I'll stick to what I know. Get a beer and sit down, waiting for her, not paying much mind to the writhing mares.

"I think she wants the attention of the Triumvirate as much as we do, not at all.
Go to her, call her out on her bluff, we need to know what the Triumvirate is planning and we need it now. If you have to get rough with her, I don't mind."
>>632149
A deer suddenly appears from the shadows. You recognize him as Paran, a deer from your old tribe!
"Hello Maali" he says with a smile.
>>632152
You get a beer from the barkeeper and soon you see Morgana, coming from the upstairs private rooms wearing a risque corset.
Clearly she's been busy.
"Melville! You're back. How have you been?"

He gasps in surprise

She's on a rock ledge, near the Waterfall.
She's spent most of her time in the Hideout there in the shadow.
As you approach, she turns her head and you see her fluorescent green eyes burning through the shadows.
"Greetings, Echo."
>>632157
Paran steps out. He has a dark brown coat and the spiders surrounding him crawl off and disappear in their hidey holes.
"I escaped by the slightest luck. I thought everyone had died. And now I found you here in Vilitus. The spiders told me they've seen you. It must be fate that guided us here together, Maali."
>>632158
"Oh, you always are.
Please, join me in my private room~"
She winks and nods to her office.

Once she closes the office door, the music and cheers outside die immediately.
Her office is very spartan. There's books of Equestrian and Germane philosophers on the walls. She sits behind her wooden desk and asks you to sit down.
On her desk is a globe showing the world and a small wooden necklace of a pony.
>>632161
"Do you even care? I sense you're here to get answers about the Queens from me. State your questions and let me be."

"Ah… Well… At least we found each other… So long as we survived, the Guarira will go on… So… What are you doing in this place? And… What is the deal with the spiders…?" he glanced at his chest to make sure he had the same green gem necklace as he did

"Do I look like a changeling expert? I've only had experience killing a few of them, and those were just drones. You are here because you're the damn expert. And because this is the only reasonably safe place for you to be.
How fed are you right now? Judging by the lightshow coming from your eyes I'd say you're no longer on the brink of death."

"Well, we can do this whole deal of ours either the hard way or the soft way. I could slam your head into a wall until you start talking, but I'm not a goddamn animal.
So why don't we swallow our pride and work together to bring down that threesome without any wall slamming? I know it sounds like a wild dream for us to get along, but I may as well give it some effort if it means not getting turned into changeling dinner. I scratch your back, you scratch mine."

>>632182
She nods.
"I see…"
She sighs.
"You've done me a great service. I'll tell the bartender to bring your fee. I trust you'll be discrete about this."

You were in a mansion in the Aurora district, trying to find the final remaining book of the Laughing One, but each time you cross a room, it seems you're in a different house or different time.

And I think we should probably spend the rest of the time relaxing. We've been chatting a long time already.

>>632217
"I wanted answers. You've given them."
She taps her hoof.

"Melville..if I were you, I'd leave the City as fast as I can."

"You don't know Morgana? The slut Queen of the Fata Morgana bar? She whores out her Hive to lowly captains and other scum."
>>632244
"If you say so…"
>>632245
"Yes, two times actually. Why?"
You open the book.
Roll Intelligence.
That's a 1d10

"Maybe we should go back there. They sent a box of emergency letters to the duchesss, seems like something serious is going on."

"I believe in him miss Glowing, all Guarira are true to nature and have an oath to protect it like me. Let him have a word with our superiors and he will understand and help us."
He turns back to Paran
"All ready, come on, we can Catch up on the way" he walks towards the path they came from

You open the book and suddenly are in an another world.
You see a green pool before you, in it are floating hundreds of translucent ponies, all of them seemingly sleeping.
>>632247
"Everypony can, if they want to."
>>632248
"Probably one of her Changelings, the bar is full of them. She does employ some ponies though."
>>632251
"It would be my honor."
You follow them back to the Hideout.
When you enter the alarm goes off and you're trapped.
The master shows up.
"…Maali? Who did you bring with you?"

>>632252
He jumps, surprised
''M-Master? What is going on? Oh…I-I found one of the members of my tribe which I believed to be lost a long time ago, what is wrong? why are the alarms going off like that?'' he looks around, midly tense

No.
"HI!" says a voice from behind you.
>>632254
She shakes her head.
"Loved ones I presume?"
She weighs her words carefully.
"Melville…I can tell you more about this…but I need to know you can be trusted, more than usually."
>>632256
"Quite far. She merely needs a few pieces of the puzzle left. She's been looking for somepony…or a donkey. Yes, a donkey who's been interfering with her Hive…"
>>632257
"They are going off, because you've brought someone who's not one of us to our Hideout." He looks suspicously at Paran.
No.

"We have a donkey around here."
I groan.
"Alright well, this is important stuff. You've been a blast to hang out with, but I got to talk to some people now."
Turn around, but stop.
"And don't worry, I'll stick to my word. I'll get you some more 'food' if it helps."

''W-well I brougth him here so that you could talk to him. Paran, this is The Master, he is the head of the Hideout. Master, this is my Brother Paran, I believe he will be a great help to the lordblades. he is a powerful shaman like me!

It's a pink pony in a clown costume, she doesn't seem concerned at all by your circling.
On the contrary, she starts to sing a song.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ix7vrluEm4E
>>632261
She returns an equally suspicious look.
She sniffs the air.
"I smell conflict in you, Melville. There's something you're not telling me…"
>>632262
I missed it.
"Emergency letters? Wait slow down, what's going on?"
>>632263
She licks her lips.
"Please do. I'd love to taste your emotions."
>>632264
Paran steps forward and bows deeply.
"It would be an honor for me to serve a friend of Maali."
The master raises a brow.

"Do you have to make it sound so weird? I'll be back."
Trot away, I need to find Whisper or the Master. Whoever I run into first.

He looks at Paran.
"You vouch for him, Maali?"
>>632269
"…I suppose so." she says slowly.
"But then you understand that there are some things I cannot tell you."
>>632270
The Master is talking to some deer who's with Maali, Whisper to Spruce
>>632271
You do a great sing-along.
The pink pony smiles.
"We're friends already!"
>>632274
"The Master and Phantasm have been there…perhaps they know more."

Whistle at them.
"Has anyone seen Melville? Need to talk to Melville, where's Melville people!?"
>>632277
He nods
''In fact, we'll both make an oath for our Eldunari's right here Master. an oath we cannot break, no matter what.'' He turns to Paran
''Paran, make the oath with me to swear loyalty to the cause. we will help them with all and any orders we are given, as long as it is not directly and intentionally harmful to nature, this way you can have the Master's trust.'' He puts his hoof on his necklace, which glows a bit stronger as he does so
>>632282
''I have not seen him in quite a while actually, I have just gotten here miss Ambrosia''

>>632280
"Happy too!"
He's talking to a deer.
>>632281
She stares for a long while at you.
Then opens a drawer from her desk and hoofs you a bag of bits.
"I'll be sure to call on you should I need your services again."
>>632282
Whisper is here too.
"I don't know. He isn't here…"
>>632283

''Now you can officially issue him and I with any orders, master. just…please try to not abuse it too much'' He snickers

Nope, he looks like Maali, just stronger. You get his name is Paran.
>>632286
She grins. "No, silly. This place is the Well of Memories. But you can call it Pinkie if you want!"
>>632287
The Master scrutinzes you both.
"Very well. You may enter, Paran."
The locks open.
>>632289
The Master nods.
"I've seen the wanted posters outside. But Melville has assured me it won't bring any trouble to this place."
>>632291
Back to the hideout?

"This a bad time? I could come back after you're done with Paran."

"Oh I'd rather call you pinkie, if you know what I mean~"
Get off her back and trot away, brushing against her side.
"Is this where I'm sent every time I die?"

She giggles.
"Silly, you don't die!
It's quite terrible actually. It might even destroy the whole universe!"
She smiles friendly.
>>632296
Paran walks in.
"What a nice place you have here."
He bows.
"Master, I can help you in a lot of ways. May we have a conversation in private?"
The master looks at him. "Very well, once I'm done here."
>>632295
"…she is? That doesn't make sense. We are their food!"
>>632293
The master shakes his head.
"I'd rather you stay here Spruce."

''It would be…no problem if I went along, right Paran?''

"An even better question is, if you don't would you wish you did?"

You find yourself coming in in the midst of a conversation
>>632300
There are some ripples in the pool, but not much more.
>>632301
OH THE DONK COMES IN
>>632302
The Master scrutinizes you.
"Why?"
>>632303

"That's what I thought too, but according to our changeling friend, Morgana's the actual third queen of the triumvirate. That brothel of hers is nothing but a front to harvest emotions from her horny customers. Makes sense when you think about it, no?"

>>632304
''I would like to stay close to him and just listen, if you do not mind that is, Master''
>>632309
''really? That is actually good news, now we know where one of the Queens hides. what does a Brothel has to do with a mass genocide? was she hiding there and gathering forces until the moment to strike?''

"It doesn't really have anything to do with it. Apparently Varash and Morgana haven't really done much in the last thousand years. They're not 'relevant' if you ask Mizeri. Nefertiti is the dangerous one.
The three queens aren't as united as they want us to think, but I knew that already."
>>632315
"Well I didn't know. In any case, Nefertiti isn't the brightest of queens. She's gotten bored of the current state of affairs, so she means to wipe us all out regardless of what her compatriots think about it. She's got the muscle to do it too, I'm thinking."
>>632314
"If she's willing to kill everyone in this city, a simple coverup like that won't stop her. How many donkeys are there in this hellhole?"

>>632320

>>632318
"If you trust him, there is no reason why you have to fear him talking without you listening in, is there?"
>>632321
"Perhaps; What's more important is, how is this Nefertiri planning to do this? I doubt the answer will be found in the Red Tower."
>>632320
"Nefertiri has the largest number of drones of all the Hives as far as we know. But she wouldn't attack alone. The other Hives are quite powerful together and most of the city wouldnt just stand aside as she annihilated all of it. She needs allies."

Smirk the wrong way and then wave off, moving close to her.

''True…but still, we must do something to prevent this and quick, before she decides to strike and overwhelm us all''
>>632325
''No…'' He sighs
''look I just…want to make sure you won't treat him badly…alright?'' He blushes slightly
''It is…not that I do not trust you either but…I want to stay with him for now. I have wandered alone many years looking for one of my tribe and now that I finally did, well…I don't want to leave his side for now'' He Pull Paran into a half hug

"Melville, we need to know, what did you find out?" asks the Master.

"You're an arrogant asshole who's waaaaay too overconfident because of some cosmic goof through which you can't die!"
>>632328
"We need to investigate the Dukes…"
>>632329

"Hmmmmm, what can I say without spoiling too much? Oooooh, I know! You see, because you can't die the conventional way, the Laughing One created an unconventional way!"
>>632333
"Yes, but the matter seems to have gotten a higher priority since then."
>>632335
"What I want is a one-to-one, I do this with all new recruits, you too. I didn't invite any other ponies when you arrived here, did I?"
the Master seems annoyed by now.

Fucking shit.
Go to the damn warrens then. Let's see what those spores are up to. Our engineer better be working on a solution.

Spruce is going off to the Armory to stock up.

Morning Star is a saddle-arabian pony standing in front of the armory.

The Warrens are pretty barren. Those spores aren't going anywhere for now.

The Sun is already going down. Soon it will be night.

Just a nice thought that pops in your head. You can disregard it without rolling. Or you can slap her if you want.

Listen, I just spoke to Mizeri some more. She says that back when she rebelled against the queens, she used a sort of gas to turn the drones against each other. She feels like something similar might be happening to us right now."

"Have you felt any strange violent desires recently?"

You had just discovered that a certain Dr. Rice Curry has been taken away by the Red Tower. You theorized he has been forced to help the Changelings create some form of energy weapon or device. Meanwhile the Energy Core you found was going to be stored in the Vault of the base to avoid any accidents.
