War of the Assembly

   Did you enjoy that little history on Assembly? Hope you did 'cause that's written by me and stuck to my wall. I'm Blaze, by the way, the Griffion that was mentioned in the history. Well, anyway, Tempest is on its merry way to Nova with Ark, Nova is a colony planet many have said to be a bit like Dodge Junction back in the day. I wouldn't know what to tell you though, I've never been to Nova myself. Oh, before I forget, I'm actually a tactical engineer on my squad as well as it's leader, the other two are a demolition expert and a marksmen, both quite capable at their jobs. As much of value they were to Aseembly, they were still my best friends on the entire ship. Although... this may be an Assembly military Star Soarer, the indivual rooms for each pony was a bit much for the project when it was being built. Sure they're nice and all, big enought space for a bed, a couch, even has it's own washroom. I guess it was with the consideration of those that don't like to be open.

   "Attention, Tempest will be approaching Nova shortly. All engineers should be at their stations" That annoying computer bitch repeats that every thirty minutes. All I want to do is sleep a bit longer before I have to meet up with Twitch and Flare at the commons for our usual breakfast. That WAS my initial plan until a knock came to my door. So I had decided to lazily flop out of bed and slowly trek over to the door. I crakced it atleast, not trying to be rude or anything, and peered through. It was a changeling, Twitch to be specific, I had noticed his missing left fang and the scars over his right eye.

"You're late, again." He said to me, his tone not quite as pleasurable. He was wearing our squad's uniform as he he glared at me.

"Now now, is that anyway to talk to a firend, let alone the squad captain?" I simply said right back, opening the door to reveal  my current bearings, which was a tank top and panties.

"Can you please get ready, Flare didn't think you'd ever wake up to eat with us." Twitches look toned down a bit, but he was like that. Mad at you for one second, then happy with you the next. I guess that's what we liked about him.

"I'll be there, just let me get ready and I'll be there in a few." I reassured Twitch, his look towards me toning down even more and continued down the hall towards the commons. I lightly closed my door and started up my shower.

   Like I said to Twitch before, I was there in less than fifteen minutes, in uniform. I was ready to dine in to something delicious, I don't how, but Tempst's chefs could even make something that looked gross taste it's best. As I sat down at our usual table, I could hear Flare adressing her voice towards me, Flares full name in Solar Flare, but she prefers Flare.

"I was beginning to think you wouldn't get you feathered behind out of bed." I heard from her muzzle, rather mouth if you ask me, but one helluva shot.

"Yeah, I heard from Mister Mcgee over here." I nodded my head over towards Twitch. "Anyway, what are we all having?"

"Hay Pancakes sounds delicious at the moment." Is all I hear from Flare.

"I think I'll get a latte instead" Flare and mine mouths dropped like dead weights as we stared in awe at Twitch's response.

"You drink coffee?" I asked nearly in my seat, he looked up from the menu with  slight glare.

"It's not coffee, a latte. To answer you question, yes. Maybe if you two girls would actuall pay attention to your surroundings, you wouldn't be surprised" Twitch out down his menu and ordered his latte, Flare order the hay Pancakes, I decided to get some eggs.

   "I do pay attention to my surroundings, how else would you guys get you asses out of tough situations?" I said to Twitch with the biggest smirk on my face.

"Making googley eyes at an engineer you don't know isn't paying attention to surroundings" Flare quickly snapped at me. The smirk on me quickly disapeared as I turned to her.

"I'm not in love with him, I don't trust him." I had glared at Flare for her comment. There was a pegasus engineer on Tempest who always looks suspicious, he always had a satchel on his left side, always looking over his shoulder as if he was being stalked or something. His type of personality is usually the one's that cause a lot of troube, and what makes it worse, he doesn't talk to anypony on board. Not to mention that the pegasus spends most of his time on the matienance deck, even after hours.

   "Attention all Tempest passengers, we are now approaching the Colony of Nova. Please stand by for departure." That damned computer went off again. But atleast we get time to strech out our limbs while Tempest loads up its supplies. It was nice to get off of Tempest every once and a while, usually. There are those occassional planets full ofscrap, murderous machines, and what not that's deadly. Maybe we could check out a Nova cider hole if we get to step off Tempest. Flare was bit a drinker, cound't down a whole lot, but when she started, it was hard to get her to quit. I mean, seriously, three drink and she's tipsy. Twitch didn't really touch hard cider often, he found ordinary cider just to his liking.

   Tempest started to shake rapidly, causing Discord to fall from nowhere. Literally, just showed up and fell next to our table. I'm surprised he hasn't aged in years, being a spirit of chaos probably has that effect, seeing as chaos is eternal and all. But he has been know to go a bit overboard with his antics. He was liked by most of the ponies on here, and he liked it. Having friends really makes a change on ponies I guess. Twitch talked to Disord whenever he could, Discord has a thing about mention a pony that was his first true friend. Her name escapes me at the moment, I'll probably remember sometime later, but for, I get to go to the surface of Nova.
