Fallout equestria: blood money
"oww my head." I said sitting up raising a hoof to my head."Wait where am I, who am I!?" I said hopping up on my hooves, but my legs refused to function properly causing me to fall on my face. frantically I get back up on my hooves looking around for some clue to where I was. It was a run down shack it didn’t smell to nice either. I turn around to find I was laying down on A makeshift bed covered in stains some I know wasn’t just water stains. I look up and was a mirror it was bad cracked and the frame was rotting from age. "huh whats this doing here." I thought to myself Walking up to the mirror I can see, well me I have a red and black mane and tail with a red coat both grimy discoloration of what it probably should be, hell I felt like it too it’s probably been days since I’ve had a proper shower then I notice a note I reach out with a hoof to grab it the writing on it wasn’t the best hoof writing I have probably seen I look up at myself in the mirror, then again I can barely remember who I am let alone know what good hoof writing is. I look back down at the note and start to read it.
Hello Stab
You piece horse shit you thought you could scam me out of my caps huh? The only thing you need to know is that you're in a shack in the middle of nowhere good luck finding your way to a town
the pony who hates you most - SS
"who in the hell is SS and when did I try to scam him or her?" I pause thinking who this pony could be then I snap back to reality "doesn't matter I got to..." wait, what do I have to do it isn't like i know the pony. "huh welp the only thing I got out of that my name is stab huh, I would have chosen a different name but if that's what am called that's what am called." I look away from the mirror and spot the corpse of stallion in a different room giving off a terrible stench. giving his body a quick glance it looks like they might something useful on him. I walk over to the corpse and look him over he was a earth pony. he has a tanish brown coat but didn't have a mane it looks like it was shaved off and he was wearing a blue and yellow jumpsuit with three big sevens on its back and a strange device on his left forehoof it did looked like it would work.
After a bit of stumbling trying to get his jumpsuit off trying not to move his around too much i manage to get it off and i slip it on "Huh just my size, just my luck." I chuckle as I zip it up. "cozy, so what up with this thing." I raise the device to my eye’s looking it over it has a sleek black exterior with dials and buttons with a large screen covering most of the space on it “I wonder if it will fit” I slip on the strange device. I grin “like a glove heh, welp might as well turn it on now only I knew where the power switch is hmm." I said flipping switches trying to get the darn thing to flick on “come on don’t tell me you’re broken” and then I watch as my newly found toy come to life with a soft hum. "wow this thing does work" I chuckle putting it on my left forehoof "whoa whats going on!?" I panic falling down on my flank watching random script of ones and zeros fly past my eyes at a lightning pace. After the script was done flying past my eye’s I get back up and look the device "What the hell was that." i said getting back up scratching my head "Hello nice to meet you!" A cheerful voice said from inside my head "what the!? who’s there!?" i look around some more wondering where the voice is coming from.
"Down here silly!" I rise the device up to my face to see another face staring back at me “gah!” I fall to my flank looking at the screen the voice giggles "Hello my name is starie sky I am a S-series pipbuck."
This was weird… “I heard that! and I’m not weird hmpf!” i get back up and walk over to the bed and sit down on top of it “S-Sorry i did mean to call you weird-wait you can hear my thoughts!?”
the voice giggles again “Mhm I am also able to check anything that is wrong with your body and I can map out locations but sadly that part of my system is corrupted or something for some reason I can access it.” the voice sounded sad and a bit disappointed
“but I’m useful in many other ways!” the voice said in it’s usual cheery tone
“alright so what are you besides being a pip-buck” i bring up the my Pip-buck to my face
“I am an adanvense A.I. model made in stable seven seven seven i was made to be a companion for anypony who is wearing me.”
I blink “Riiight well nice to meet you starie my name is”
she cuts me off “stab, anonymous stab” she giggles again “can see your basic memories like your name, age, etc.”
I blink again “good to know.” I pause “starie may I ask you my basic memories” there’s a pause and then she spoke again
“you don’t know the basic information about yourself?!” i nod slowly “geeze! alright let’s see here… ah here it is anonymous stab.. age twenty one pony years..vampony years 3058 years old.. race pegasi.. that’s as much as i can get with hurting you”
“wait did you just say vampony?” i look at my pip-buck questionable
“yes I did your body shows signs of vampony blood in your veins” she says in a strangely mature voice that shouted intelligence.
“huh ya don’t say so I have been alive for three thousand fifty eight years?” I pause for a moment, looking away from my pip-buck, trying to remember anything from my past to help clear things up “three thousand years and I can barely remember a single thing within those years” i let out a sigh and chuckle a bit “well I’m not going to recover my memories in this tiny shack”
“uhm Anonymous who are you talking to?” she says in a confused manner. I look back at my pip-buck
“oh I uh I was uh talking to myself” I can feel myself blushing as I scratch the back of my head “it kinda something I do”
she giggles “and you call me weird” I could feel myself blush even harder
“heh okay yeah I’m kinda weird but uhm Starie what can you tell me of the surrounding area” there was another pause with soft beeps and boops coming from the pip-buck and then silence
“we’re five miles from what should be Manehatten if my pre-war map is right hopefully it is but remember my mapping systems aren’t working so I maybe wrong”
“that’s fine Starie thank you and you can call me Anon it sounds better heh and please don’t read my thoughts for some reason knowing my every thought is being watched is not something I would like to have being done to me.”
“okie dokie Anon so what now are we going to stay here for a bit or what because I am kinda attached to your leg so I can’t just leave”
“well actually no wait what’s the time if it’s dark out then we’ll go but if it’s light out then let’s just stay inside for now”
“well if my clock is right it’s should be fourteen hundred hours”
“then yes we’re staying here until the sunsets less things out to kill us” I said as I got up off the bed to look around some more in the shack “let’s see what else I can find” I saw a shelf sitting next to the mirror, most of it’s sheaves were broken except one. As i walked over to the shelf I noticed a trap door at the foot of the bed”hm? hello there little secret hehe.” I chuckle as walk over to the door and open it to find a very deep hole with a ladder leading to somewhere I hope will help me survive out here. “well let’s see where this goes.”
“cool! you found a secret tunnel or something.” Starie said with glee as I start to climb down the ladder hoping something good will come out of it.
“down we go heh.” I said as i slowly climb down the ladder.
