Forttown and a day with Silas

Just outside the great walls of the Cabal's fortress home there lies a small town known as forttown. This is the home of many of those who have over the countless years of the Wanderlands eather stumbled across or been taken in by the cabal for one reason or another.

As the Wanderlands travel beetween worlds it is not uncommon to see several dozen of the same being walking about the town at any given time , such as a small gathering of applejacks selling their produce in the central market , or a herd of pinkie pies baking away in one of the many bakeries, and it isnt even rare to see three or more rainbowdashes trying to outdo each other in some crazy stunting contest. Of course no two of any of them are truly alike as these and many others come in all diffrent shapes and sizes from your basic pony to full on human and everything in between yes anthro , centaur, elven , even alternate gender, tribe and species.

And this is were our story begins..

Deep within the Cabal tower in an area that oddly enough looks like a normal office building full of cubicles off to the side in what would be the managers office sits the head of the Cabals buisniess branches including marketing ,accounting, intel gathering, customer interaction and several other things ,Silas Thornwood.

Silas sat at his desk looking over the paperwork on one of the cabals most recent jobs, his usual mug of coffie in his right hand as he looked over the numbers on how much they had made when he reaches over to a nearby intercom buzzer and speaks into it. "Gilda FE237 please report to my office and bring the file on relm EQG126.".

.......POV Gilda FE237.......
I stop my work as soon as my name and ID is called and look around at the others in their areas as they all stop for a moment to look at me, a small chill running through my wings as i grab the requested file and slowly head towards Mr. Silas's office.

With a small knock on his door I enter and close the door behind myself. "He..ere is the file you askked for sir." I nervously placed the file in his desk never taking my eyes off of him as i did so, it isnt that he is a bad boss or even all that scary looking himself despite him being a giant Mongoose in a suit that would make you think of a cross between a banker and an oldtime gangster, but he is one of the six masters of this whole relm and has been known to be quite brutal to those who disapoint him.

He looks through the file for a moment and then looks back at me. "Ah good work FE237. Now tell me how long have you been working for me in the file keepers department?"
I sat back and thought for a moment time doesnt work the same way in the wanderlands as it doesnt in a full relm so it is easy to loose track of time. " about eight cycles i think sir, the Wanderlands time system is still a little confusing to me." I give an emmbaressed smile as i rub the back of my head with my right talon.

He smirks that smirk of his that makes you feel like a little mouse infront of a very big cat and takes a sip of coffie from that mug he is almost never without. "If my memory is correct you came to us from one of the dimension that have been dubbed the Fallout Equestria worlds am i right?"
I nod and point to the ID collor around my neck with the name Gilda FE237 on it. "Yes sir i was a surviver of the megaspells and ended up scrounging in the wilds to survive until one of your Cabal scouting teams arived near were I had setup my nesting camp. I thought they were bandits at first and attacked thinking I would get them before they got me, but they took me down so fast i didnt even see them and by the time it was over i thought i was going to die. But then the pony incharge if the group took out one those black cubes you sendout into the void and called you to report in , one thing led to another I became their guid in my world and when it came time for them to leave i asked if i could come along and now here i am."
He grins and leans forward " Ah yes mission FE237 other than you coming to the Wanderlands a rather routiene scouting mission. That is all for now you may return to your usual duties."
I give a small nod and exit his office and return to my work leting out a large sigh i didnt know i had been holding in.
