       I awoke from my shroud of darkness to the door slamming. I looked over the couch expecting to see Medic, but instead there were a few things on the dining table. I rose from the couch to check it put. A satchel, ammo box, med box, and three firearms; A revolver, handgun and a giant fucking sniper rifle. I forgot about everything else and drew my full attention to the AMR in my hooves. .50BMG ammunition, Synthetic CF parts, suppressor, bipod,  variable zoom... Bloody hell this is a beautiful gun. Upon further admiration of the rifle I noticed something carved into the barrel. 'Wer Annyo Youwe Wux Nurti Ocuira. Huh. I shrugged off the strange language and slung the rifle onto my back. I searched through the satchel, nothing big just a few faded photographs, .44 Speed loaders, a couple .45 magazines. I put the satchel around my neck and looked at the last two items. Two handguns, .44 Revolver and a .45 pistol as well. The .44 was overly decorated, the grip was made out of a synthetic black material and the barrel had a dragon carved into it, wrapped around the barrel with the head ending around the end. The .45 was just the same. Around the barrel was a dragon, wrapped around it, grip the same black synthetic material. Along with the two handguns there were two holsters. I hooked them up to my belt and went to the apartment's door. I opened it and peeked out, nopony in sight. It looked just as it did the last time I went out. I stepped out and closed the door of Medic's apartment. I took a few steps down the stairs to the lobby

"Medic? You there?" I yelled down the stairs, there were a few shuffles and grumbles below. I walked into the lobby and was immediately jumped by a....I could only describe it as a decaying corpse but...still living, it tried to bite at my muzzle. I flung the corpse off of me and telepathically pulled the .45 out of it's holster and put 3 rounds into the head of the...thing. I blinked a couple times. I'm a unicorn? No...wait I can feel wings, or at least a wing....I shook my head and took a few cautious steps towards the corpse, pleading that it was just a corpse now. It wasn't moving. I heard my Pip-Buck start ticking. Geiger Counter of course, I leaped back not wanting to get anymore irradiated than my Pip-Buck already said I was.

"Oi! Oi! Who the hell is shooting up my place!" I heard Medic shout as she burst through the doors, SMG in claw. She at me with a concerned expression. "Oh, Queenston it's you. Are you alright? I heard gunshots." she walked over to me and cringed at the sight of the corpse. "Ghoul. Why the hell is a non-Canterlot ghoul this far in? He looks a bit...fresh too." She cringes and grabs the corpse, dragging it into the street were she lights it ablaze. I stayed back in the building, checking out my extra appendages.

Horn? Yup, that's a horn alright. Wings? ...wing. I only have one wing and is seems to be either draconic or bat-like. Huh. Medic broke my concentration when she tapped me on the shoulder.

W"Hey Queenston, I'll be in the room if you need me." I nodded and went outside. Same destroyed city, same skelletons. I found a nearby bench and sat down. I opened my Pip-Buck and went to the 'Quest' tab. There were three things;

Help Medic

Rediscover your past

Locate your Duffle Bag

Well, that's something to do. I switched through some of the other tabs, trying to find something beside Info, notes, or Holotape recordings. I opened a tab titled 'Settings' and looked through it. 'E.F.S' was switched to off. I pressed on and a little purple mare popped up in the corner of my vision.

"Eyes Forward Sparkle activated!

Okay? I blinked a couple times and two bars appeared on the left and right. The left one said HP and the left said AP. Under the AP bar was CND and a white bar. I blinked again in confusion and a compass appeared under the HP bar. There was a green tick to the east and a orange triangle to the north. I stood up and started walking towards the tick mark. I walked a good few meters before I saw something. A grey mare with crossed eyes popped up in the corner...

Is that a filly in a...radiation suit? I probably was making a stupid face because the filly trotted up to me and said "Heya Mister! My names Puppysmiles! Why are you makin' that weird face?"

"Uh...I-"

"I'm lookin' for my Mom! Have you seen her?

"Er...no I haven't uh... Puppysmiles..." I felt really stupid saying the word 'Puppysmiles'.

"Awwwww! No pony has seen her!" The filly trotted off in angeneral direction and the tick mark disappeared.

"....What?"
