Chapter 18: Two heads two ideas

At Enclave Base Aurora.

Lieutenant Honey Cake walked into the science lab with a smile on her face.

"Ok, where are we with the super pony soldier project Mark 2?" asked Lieutenant Honey Cake, "We need them ASAP I gave you all a thirty-six-hour deadline. I want good results."

The lead scientist pegasus told Honey Cake that his scientist team is tired and haven't slept in a whole day and twelve hours and they don't have a pre-war and wartime drink called "Coffee" to keep them awake.

Lieutenant Honey Cake told him that she'll let him and his team rest the moment she gets the results of the Super Pony Soldier project.

By a tarp, the pegasus scientist removed it to see a purple alicorn in a glass jar tube thing with green water with its eyes closed but floating.

"I'm assuming it's purple because the blood/DNA I stole came from a purple crossbred pony that's an alicorn?" asked Lieutenant Honey Cake.

The scientist told her that what she said is correct.

Lieutenant Honey Cake asked when they can be battlefield deployed. The scientist tells her that they're still in the experimental stage and ain't ready to be deployed to the field they ain't even deployed to be trained.

Lieutenant Honey Cake sighed. "Okay okay. I want them battle-ready within forty-six hours! Within a day and 22 hours! But take your break and rest up first."

Lieutenant Honey Cake then walked out and went into the mess hall for some breakfast and she did.

Two-days later.

Back in the science lab.

"Alright, I want results." said Lieutenant Honey Cake, "And I want them now!"

The lead scientist yawned and told her that they had to work around the clock and walked over to a terminal and showed a moderate purple alicorn with blue eyes but no cutie mark in a test room.

"Ok Test Subject PA-001." said the lead scientist, "Do what you were made to do."

They saw that "Test Subject PA-001" has superpony strength, superpony speed, superpony durability, regenerative healing, skilled combatant. Those are the strengths. The weaknesses are limited intelligence, always aggressive against non-Grand Pegasus Enclave Members."

"We'll work out the kinks later," said Lieutenant Honey Cake, "Just field deploy them."

"But the PA's are still in the experimental stage." said the lead scientist, "We haven't even created armor and weapons for them yet. This is absurd! Also very stupid we can't deploy them out to the field!"

"Go cry to Colonel Autumn Leaf! Or to Pride!" exclaimed Lieutenant Honey Cake, "Why you are at it why don't you suck his and Pride's dicks or preen their wings or kiss their asses why you're at it!"

There's a knock on the door which leads Lieutenant Honey Cake to answer it.

It's Purple and he stuck his hoof out as a form of thank you for giving him a cyber wing and she shook his hoof.

"Does it have to be black with an emblem of clouds and wings with a pair of eyes gazing out from the shelter of an arch?" asked Purple, "I'm just asking. I don't feel like feeling like I'm the property of the GPE."

Lieutenant Honey Cake told him no but found a sapphire wedding ring in his saddlebag.

"I guess that makes us husband and wife." said Lieutenant Honey Cake, "I can't wear it but I can wear it on my holotags."

"GIVE IT BACK!" demanded Purple, "THAT ISN'T YOURS IT BELONGS TO ME AND IT BEEN IN MY FAMILY FOR GENERATIONS!"

Purple acted out of character but didn't apologize for what he said and stuck his hoof out for Lieutenant Honey Cake to hand his family wedding ring heirloom. But she dropped it accidentally but Purple caught it.

"I'll be on my way," said Purple before walking off.

Back in her office, Honey Cake looked at a map of a wide area around the pre-war AFB and she placed a green square where the town of Crimson is at and green is supposed to mean that they're allies.

Base walked in like if he owned the place.

"I heard that your working super soldiers." said Base, "Tell me about them."

Lieutenant Honey Cake told Base no and take a hike back to his camp or FOB Golf.

"I can make you talk!" said Base, "I want to know what they are!"

Base then went to Lieutenant Honey Cake and went behind her.

"If you think you are." scoffed Honey Cake, "Well I already took a part of your baby brother DNA and put it inside me you can't give me a foal and I made sure for me to have your baby brother's DNA in me."

"Fuck!" said Base, "Tell me anyway. Please?"

Lieutenant Honey Cake gave him need to know information which isn't a lot. Base quickly figured out that Lieutenant Honey Cake used Purple's DNA to make the superpony soldiers.

Lieutenant Honey Cake told Base that it was her decision, not his to make and she told him to get out of her office so he did.

Back at Foward Operating Base Golf, Base stepped out of an A-4 Vertibuck only to see four GPE Assault soldiers standing at the four corners of the landing pad.

In the command bunker an 11 foot high, 7 foot wide, and 10 foot and 5 inches long wooden building he walked over to a holomap.

On the holomap is seven green squares which are FOBs: Golf (Base's current location), Echo, Delta, Alpha, India, Foxtrot, and Feather. There is also another green square which is Base Aroura the wartime EAF or Equestrian Airforce Base named Luna or now Grand Pegasus Enclave base: Aroura.

There's one red square which is the town of Crimson and smaller red dots which are confirmed Wasteland Guardians and redlines which are Wasteland Guardians routes.

There are also green ovals which are the GPE soldiers that Base leads and there are Courier, Berainum, Oxide, Gold, Onyx, and Dynamite squads and they report to Base.

By a radio, Base re-ordered his squads just to kill the stallions that are Wasteland Guardians but to bring back the mares to him.

The only reason Base ordered it is because he's a semi-chauvinist but think that the mares who fight will be excellent breeding stock. Even though his baby brother disapproves of it and believes that mares have the same rights as stallions even in the post-apocalyptic wasteland even though Purple wouldn't mind having a mare for him but he isn't going to force or harm a mare.

Lieutenant Honey Cake started to think about what's going on in Base's mind. She thinks that she's losing control of Base and the 2 platoons he's in charge of thinking he's going to start a war between the Enclave and the Wasteland Guardians which is something Honey Cake doesn't want.

Lieutenant Honey Cake even thought about it for a while but kept her remaining squads which are Foxhound, Harpoon, Pronto, Boxer, Carrera, and Starlight Squads in reserve because she doesn't want to telegraph the GPE presence in the Equestrian Wasteland too early.

She may already have several squads deployed to FOBs: November, Juliet, Bravo, Sapphire, Garnet, Pearl, Opal, and Amethyst and those squads are Titans, Hellhounds (not actual Hellhounds), Nightmare, Oracle, Red Dragons, Blue Dragons, Scepter, Havoc, Banshee, Fiends, and Napalm Squads with Special Service Squad. Incident Organization Squadron, Trauma Rescue Squad, Strategic Assault Squadron, and Strategic Combat Team, Special Engage Unit, Disaster Assault Squadron, and Advance Reconnasiance Crew are in reserve with Foxhound, Harpoon, Pronto, Boxer, Carrera, and Starlight Squads.

In the radio room.

Lieutenant Honey Cake radioed for Starlight and Carrera squads to go out and find some wartime defense factories to bring them back online so they don't have to have to rely upon what happens above the clouds and the council doesn't have to bitch about it and so.

Lieutenant Honey Cake also would love to get out of the shadow of the Council but what she's doing is unsanctioned by the council and can remove her rank of Lieutenant. But they might not because factories they have only produce 1500 per hour for twelve hours a day is 18000 and the GPE has three-hundred factories to maintain the Grand Pegasus Army and Airforce and a small navy with 54 cloudships, 4 Thunderheads and 50 Raptor class-cloudships.

She then breathes calmly in and out and went to do her normal duties as a base commander.
