Max looked at her sadly, before gently removing her armour, and washing the grime off her mane and fur. Once she was done, the brightly coloured pony lying on the table would have been impossible to identify as a raider, only the cuts and bruises and her skinniness separated her from the ponies Max had known in her stable, and remembered from before the war. She sighed, and raised her tools, soon removing the mare's brain, and carefully taking it over to another table where she'd set up magnifying glasses, microscopes, and all other kinds of equipment.
ace looked at it with un interest untill he stood up "im going to go tell the others not to worry about the shooting.....ill be in the storage room when your done" he said leaving
Max nodded, looking up from her work briefly. "Check on Jay for me?" She called after him, before turning back to it.
"ya....rain apperently freaked out a bit but snow got him to calm down and told him they were safe here, and jays looking better, but she had a disgusted look on her face when i talked to her" he told her as he sat there
Max smiled. "Sounds like she's finally doing what her mother told her," She said, walking over to the sink and washing her hooves.
"Well... the agression centre of the brain was certainly enlarged," Max said, looking over her notes, "and the part responsible for empathy was damaged. I cannot say for sure what caused it, or if this is typical of all raiders, but if it is, then negotiating with them will be... difficult."
"well....we got the bigger gun" ace said to her "that has to mean something to them, self preservation and all"
Max nodded slowly. "Perhaps... but if we drive them away from here, they'll just find somepony else to prey on." She sighed, shaking her head. "I'm not sure if they can be rehabilitated. Maybe if we captured one alive..."
"Well we didn't exactly take prisoners so it's not like I know how to take a pony alive" ace said trying to hide his irritation so he didn't upset max
"Well... I would assume we get one on their own, then knock them out instead of shooting them." Max said, sitting down. "I could probably come up with a tranquilizer..."
"well if thats the case we could maybe take them out like that and bring them all back......assuming there arnt that many raiders there" ace said liking this idea
"Hmm... not sure the others would like that..." Max said, uncertainly, "Maybe if it works with one, we can try it large scale though..."
