After about a minute of overriding the system, he discovered changing the time would shut off the life support for however long the computer would take to reset. Which, by his calculations, was 4 hours. Swearing loudly and kicking the wall, he left the stable, hoping to be able to avoid Julion and his gang.
Shuffling out of what he presumes is a tent, Cobalt looks around confused. A week free from the stable and he is already in contact with ponies of unknown intention. He had a time to keep, and with that he tightened his Saddle Bags and went towards the sunlight
Jazzy sighed. "Come on, we should go now if we want to at least reach Tenpony before the night. Time's running."
"Snipes, think you can manage a teleport?" Julion asked. Snipes nodded, "Sure thing!" and her horn started glowing. Julion whispered to Jazzy, "Not only is she our best marksmare, but also her talent is teleportation." a flash and the group appeared in front of the Tenpony Tower door.
Cobalt looks around the camp a bit confused by the lack of ponies, although it isn't much of a change. Better no one then the raiders. He still would have liked to known how he got there
"The way I see it, no one can ever really see the future. Yeah, you could see the most likely stream of events, or the obvious like 'I'm going to eat' or something. The thing is, no matter what you say might happen, you could always choose to do the opposite. Your predictions serve as a good guideline, but be careful: anything's possible." Ecliptic paused for a moment. "So! Shall we head inside?"
(Imma skip ahead a bit) Cobalt spots a large alabaster tower in the east, and with that a notification on his PipBuck alerts him of the location; Tenpony Tower. Running low on clean water, he knew he needed to stop and trade soon, so he glided himself to what he presumed as the main gate, and walked towards a group of ponies speaking to the entrance.
Julion stepped up to the eye hole, "Greetings guard, my friends and I.." "No, please don't use those eyes on me, I'll, I'll let you through, just don't do it again please!" the guard interrupted pleadingly. "Oh, um, ok?" Julion said confused as the door opened, "Alright, come on guys."
Jazzy walked up inside, following Julion., while replying to Ecliptic :" "Yeah, you can't see THE future, but with some calculations and some organization, with a small little inch of instincts, i can make good estimations... I mean, i've been able to. Julion is nearly impossible to counter."
Julion laughed at that, "Ya, I guess its hard to predict the life of a Soldier eh? It takes skill, talent, and a whole lot of luck. And that's something you can't do an equation on."
"Well, it ain't only equations. It's mostly like knowing what could happen, and trying to guess wich situation is most likely to happen. Like now, i see mines exploding everywhere, but i had estimated it under a %, so i knew it was merely impossible for it to happen. But sometimes, there's three situation, near the 30%, and that's when it's getting harder to guess. And more: each seconds, the estimation changes, because of a raindrop who falled a milimeter to far, or even a sudden movement from the sun. It's just... Hard to explain."
Cobalt walks up close to the large door of the tower, looks around for a button, then resorts to clanking his hoof on the steel, a bit startled when the intercom sparks on. Despite the jump, He walks towards the device and speaks in "Um... Hello?"
"I'm looking to trade... Please, I lost canteen when I was attacked in Ponyville and I'm running out of water" Cobalt responded, he knew he wasn't a good liar, he never was. Hopefully, the guard won't think he is lying.
"Surrender all ammo to the guard inside and you are free to stay for a minimum of three days before getting a visa." the guard replied, and the doors opened.
Cobalt steps back from the sliding doors, then enters inside the courtyard as they close behind him. He cooperates in turning over his ammunition for his single rifle and steps through the entrance, trying to avoid the gazes at his Stable-Tec equipment as he was searched.
(Just get our room settled, etc.) "Whelp, this is gonna be our room." Julion said looking around, "Let's see 4 bedrooms, own kitchen, 2 bath, man this is a good place! And to think I got it through charisma alone." Julion chuckled, he was enjoying his new self. "Well you guys get settled, I'll go get some supplies, don't worry, I have plenty of bottle caps." and he left his group in the room Now, let's see if Calamity's still here, I know Homage is, I guess I will apologize to her first, He thought, his armor fully retached and he made his way upstairs towards the broadcasting station.
