Military Recruiter Rosamite turned one eyeturret to the 'Deathclaw' as the Emperor had named this species, a scientific marvel if she had ever known one, a species engineered from the ground up and made from a hostile beast into a sentient. "I am Military Recruiter, Rosamite, you shall refer to me as Superior Female Rosamite as I am in a higher position than you, and is custom." Her species custom, but still, what was a civilization without tradition and customs?

The Deathclaw, a male named 'Dave' Nodded, standing as no seat within this building could withstand two thousand two hundred pounds of weight, most of which was raw muscle. "I understand, Superior Female, I will do as requested." The voice was odd, but then again it was coming from something that shouldn't have existed in the first place beyond a science fiction novel. Dave wore synthetic carbon fiber 'sheathes' on his...very large, very sharp claws, to prevent any accidental injuries or damage to anything as well, those claws as well as the sheer size of Dave made Rosamite a bit nervous, because one claw was larger than one of her arms with its entire length.

Rosamite waggled an eyeturret. "The tests we conducted as ordered came back, and I must say your entire species is simply a marvel of genetic engineering, we wouldn't, we being my species the Akun, have tried to do something like this for at least another one hundred thousand years, our years, yours would be two hundred thousand years since Epona's years are twice as long as Akun years, and even then it would be a few thousand more before we got results, and I have no doubt they would be nothing like your species." She took a sip of warm water from a plastic cup before continuing. "Your species is completely immune to radiation, your scales are able to withstand a '50 caliber' armor piercing bullet, abit this isn't for every single scale, most of them are stupidly tough and resistant to damage of any sort, as well as passing other tests for this application, including standard medical tests, your service to the Empire's military can begin starting tomorrow, you'll be issued equipment suitable for your species after training, which I expect you will pass with flying colors."

Dave seemed to smile, as much as he could with his scaled face. "Thank you, Superior Female, I was one of the first Deathclaws to be granted sapience by the Emperor." He stopped referring to the ruler as King, because every time he did so around this small species they became agitated. "And it was thanks to his will that I am a citizen of this grand Empire, now that my species has a population of twenty thousand I no longer am restricted from certain jobs I wasn't allowed while our population was small, now that it has grown and will continue to do so naturally, I'd like to do what my species was first designed for, fight, it's simple instinct on my part to want to do so."

Rosamite waggled her eyeturrets in agreement. "This is a logical line of thought, your species was made for something, and even if it was nudged away from that by the glorious will of the Emperor." She lowered her eyeturrets in reverence for her ruler as was the norm, before raising them again. "Your paperwork and medical information is now documented, and the scale we took for testing should grow back by the time your training is done, for now head to Training Facility Three, your training will begin there." She signed off on the approval for Dave's application to the Empire's military, it was digital so she just signed using a specialized pen meant to interact with the holographic terminal screen before her. Dave turned and walked out of the large room, his heavy steps causing the room to vibrate briefly before he was gone.

Applebloom smiled seeing her sister Applejack on the screen of her computer, now that Equestria, her's had caught up a little in computer technology they could hold video calls, and the former Elements of Harmony got priority just under that of the military, this call was only possible thanks to Discord having opened a very tiny hole back to their universe, she was thankful for that. "Yes Applejack, I'm fine, all the gals are, I'm making a great amount of bits doing computer repair and troubleshooting help."

This caused Applejack to smile. "Rarity threw an absolute fit when she couldn't attend Sweetie Bells wedding almost a year ago, and now she's throwin another damned hissy fit cuz ya'll are in another Celestia damned universe."

Applebloom nodded. "I know this, Sweetie video calls Rarity like I do for you sometimes, and most of the time I'm here to hear them speaking about fashion an all that junk, Rarity was proud of Sweetie's music career." Applebloom looked at the clock in the corner of her screen. "We've been in this call for two hours now, tell Granny I said Hello, cuz I've gotta go an she ain't woken up from her nap yet, I got work I gotta do." Applejack laughed and nodded, before ending the call, letting Applebloom go back to her work.

-----------------------------------------------------Crystal Palace, Lorenzo's POV---------------------------------------------------------

I sat in what to any outsider, would look like a small laboratory deep within the depths of the Crystal Palace, however it was far more than just that, it was a containment unit. Anyone looking at me would realize I was very...very concerned, as for why? Sat on a small pedestal with an energy field projected around it to prevent someone from just grabbing it, sat a golden crown with a crest on the back and a green scarab in the center. It was more like an odd helmet then a crown, but as for why I was concerned about it? The Gorillas had it locked away within one of their small temples or worship. And I knew this item well, it was from Fallout 4, to be specific the Cabot House quest line. For those who never played the game, or just forgot or never found the questline, this crown was found by one Lorenzo Cabot in an ancient alien city in an empty corner of the arabian desert. He put it on as a joke and it changed him, it gave him telekinetic powers, altered his blood to become immortal, and overall increased his mental abilities, his immortality was more like a super mutants, biological, but still able to be killed, not immune to damage.

And the Gorillas had his skeleton, still in its suit and wearing the crown, in their temple, in something akin to a stone coffin. The moment I saw it I had it placed into containment, this was concerning, because it meant either he had survived the Great Calamity, or had died as a result of it, this universe was a bit different but he had existed here so I wasn't going to chance it with the crown and thus it would stay contained here. With a sigh I reactivated the defenses, several automatic plasma turrets, and walked out of the room leaving it to be sealed for another day. I knew if those plasma turrets shot the crown nothing would happen, damn thing couldn't be destroyed.

-------------------------------------------Alien Recon Craft------------------------------------------

Uktain, captain of the scout craft he was issued, looked around at parts of his crew manning their stations, keeping the shields up, and the deathray charged and ready to fire if need be, with a sigh he sat at his captains chair. "Alright, jump to system X-42, I want us to arrive just outside the solar system itself, rather than in it."

The navigator nodded. "As you command Capitan." Before tapping at the terminal screen before him, as well as flipping a few switches and twisting some dials. "Jumping, now." With a slight jolt, System X-42 was within sight instantly.

And nearly as instantly as the solar system came into view, so did something that alarmed Uktain, a fleet of thousands of starships around the solar system, going between various points all back to the center of the solar system where Earth lay, but more alarming than that was the one massive starship so large it blocked a chunk of the star from his view, dwarfing his own small scout craft with its sheer size alone, several deathrays clearly visible on the outer hull, a strange ball turret configuration having been what was decided for these ones apparently, and all of them aimed at his starship, while the tip of the massive ship was glowing white with unknown power, pointed directly at them.

This was all he needed to see, he quickly turned his head and shouted. "Jump out of this system! I don't care where just GET US OUT OF HERE!" The navigator rushed to do as commanded, but before they were able to input the correct coordinates to a random world controlled by their people a bright purple gravity beam struck the scout craft and began to drag it closer to the colossus of a starship before them, if they tried to jump now the beam would tear the scout craft, and thus them, apart. So they had no choice but to watch as they were dragged closer before darkness enveloped them as their small starship was dragged into a dark compartment of the starship, all lights where off leaving them blind if not for the lights within their own ship. The navigator managed to send a coded signal off in the direction of a communication satellite deep within Zetan territory to show what had happened, before quickly cutting it off to ensure it couldn't be traced or tracked to its location. That's when all hell broke loose.

Hiya all! Hope ya liked this, what'll happen next!? Well, you'll find out soon enough, heh. Share, like, ETC. You know the drill by now, if you don't, shame on you

Here is the crown lorenzo spoke about, and no Lorenzo Cabot, is not the Main Character, if you pay attention in the first story I mention how lorenzo found it ironic he named his character and accidently took the same first name as Lorenzo Cabot from the Cabot House Questline, and since he changed his name to his fallout characters upon arriving on Equis changed into said character, ya get the idea, point is their different people.
