Chapter 20: Luna Gardens

"Is this it, this is supposed to be the MAS facility we've been sent to for a rescue mission?" Zyon asked as we all stood looking at what could only be described as a run down shack in the middle of nowhere.

Shortly after we returned to Stable twenty four after our visit with Zeta we were approached by McNamare as we entered the atrium. As the elder approached us a group of scribes took the signal jammer from Zyon after they told him they were to keep it secure. McNamare was for a moment taken aback as she saw me sporting fresh scars all over my face and neck. Her slightly surprised and wide eyes asked the unspoken question. "What the hell happened to you?"

"We got attacked by a pack of wretches" I said with a sigh.

She nodded her head with understanding before she spoke up. "I'm glad you returned now as you did. About two hours ago we received a distress signal over the Steel Ranger emergency channel. The Ranger calling the distress said they had been sent to some MAS facility to the west of here in what used to be the Great Plains. He had said they were under attack by an unknown enemy and were being forced deeper into the facility and that their weapons were proving largely ineffective. Before we lost contact he almost begged for help with the level of desperation we could hear in his voice. I don't have any available squads I can spare at this moment to send on a rescue mission but now that you've returned. Can you go to the facility and assist in anyway you can?"

I looked at Zyon who shrugged as he didn't care.

"Certainly ma'am"

"Thank you, grab something to eat and I'll have the details sent to you before you leave" She said before she turned and walked back towards the room being used as the Overmare's Office.

"You do realise there is a giant robot on the loose" Zyon said with a roll of his eyes.

"I know, but until we have an army on our side we can't really go against it. It'll be suicide" I countered.

Later we met up with the rest of our friends and I took a moment to see my daughter who was peacefully fast asleep. Seeing her sleeping was the cutest thing I've ever seen. While we were in the canteen getting something to eat my cybernisation was revealed and Zyon did his best to explain while keeping things to a minimum. I even told them about my break down on the roof and Motor Runner gave me a knowing look. As he gave that look my eyes trailed down to his own cybernetic leg and I couldn't help but wonder how he felt inside to be made part machine. I know he mentioned something along those lines when we confronted him in the Hangar but deep down, he must have felt just as I did. Something else we share together.

Just as we were finishing our meals one of the scribes delivered a print out from a computer that had the details of the new mission and its exact location thanks to the transmission being traced. Because we were being sent to rescue Steel Rangers we needed something capable of transporting ponies, something bigger than the bandit we once used. Thankfully with the addition of some ex-Enclave ponies the Applejack Rangers now had a Vertibuck we could use. Sky Fire opted to join us again as the injuries that were of a more critical condition had been taken care of and the current medical team could handle things and Rainstorm was still willing to look after Blueberry Muffin. I swear when this is all over I'll spoil her for missing out on her early days.

So we restocked on supplies, boarded the Vertibuck and took off for the MAS facility. Sky Fire and Wirbelwind pulled the heavy armoured Enclave vehicle at a quick pace. It took us about twenty minutes of this high speed flight to make it to our destination. I guess we all had our own ideas to what the facility was going to be but none of us expected to find what we did.
