Four weeks had passed since I encountered Golden Flames, the dragon diplomat whom Queen Kristam, Queen and Dragonlord of the Dragon lands had sent. Seemingly they wanted help with the annoying pest known as tatzulwurms, I had agreed to help them, however I would NOT be selling them one of the large robotic ponies I had, rather I'd just send in androids with railguns to kill them, if they could punch through dragon scales, I knew it would be easy to kill those worms.

And I was right, just 40 androids with standard marine armor and railguns, took out a nest of 60 tatzlewurms, a few where lost yes, but the androids numbers didn't dip below 30, so I was happy with that, and I made sure to have them collect samples of the blood, meat, and bone of those worms, along with collecting any dead android and their weapon, just in case someone came along and decided to try and reverse engineer it, that was done for any battle, can't be to careful.

In return for doing this, despite me saying she didn't have to, Queen Kristam gave my androids 3 tons of gold, gems, and other shiny metals to bring back to the Empire just for me, which they ended up needing a transport carrier to pick them, and the gold up, as they couldn't teleport the small hoard into the Empire without the proper container for it.

Celestia had sent me a little gift, Cadence's horn, seemingly she had stripped Cadence of her alicornhood for 'abuse of power' I had shown the anthro crystal ponies, and they had been delighted, they had also been ecstatic to see their old ruler, Amore, but had been slightly sad to learn she did not want to ruler anymore, abit they understood why, them being banished for a thousand years would have been a vacation compared to the hell Amore went through, so at the least they weren't mad.

For those whom don't remember, I had a Sunset Sarsaparilla vending machine mod installed as well, I mentioned it awhile ago, but never really had to use it, cause my Nuka Cola idea was a huge hit, however I had decided my Empire needed more variety, each one was made with pure sugar, rather than the artificial corn syrup most big brands used, the label of the bottle for Sunset Sarsaparilla was changed as well, from since 1918, to since 2295, since that was the year the Empire was set to, I had just used the in game date, and added a few years, I also now sold Vim and it's many other flavors, all of these had 'Product Of Nuka Cola' somewhere on the bottle.

A few weapon developments had been made, we all know the cryolator from in the game, right? Well that had been beefed up and turned into a sleek machine gun just like the HPMG, it was called the HCMG, or heavy cryogenic machine gun, it shot blasts of...something, I don't know what to call it other than ice blasts, that would freeze anyone hit by it after a few shots, and the cryolator also had been turned into a mini gun as well, with the same design as the plasma mini gun's, just like the normal cryolator these used cryocells for ammunition, another development had been the laser bazooka, it was an assaultron head attached to a long tube that looked somewhat like a rocket launcher, but with seemingly random bits n bobs of wires, and other things, and at the end was a slot for a fusion core, this thing ATE through fusion cores like I drank Nuka Cola, it's beam would last about the same time as a standard assaultrons beam, it was classified as a heavy weapon due to that.

Another idea that Blue Gadget had, was to make a sodastream style device, as I had told him more about soda from Earth, and how some people preferred to make their own at home using a sodastream machine, so he, without informing me, made a Nuka-Stream Machine, NSM, for short, and it was exactly like a sodastream machine, aside from the shape of the bottle and the canister of gas used to carbonate the water was on the outside on the right side of the machine, and the fact you could use ANY 12 ounce sized bottle, it was about as large as an average coffee machine, but the kicker was that it was meant to be installed INTO a wall, and after getting my approval, he had all flavors of Nuka Cola, in syrup form, so pretty much just the various syrups used to make the many flavors of Nuka Cola, he also did the same for the other sodas I had recently put on the market, as for why he made it a wall installed device rather than like a normal sodastream machine being able to go anywhere you wanted it? So someone couldn't just take it and use it wherever they damned well wanted, it was for offices and factories that needed to save space as much as possible, therefore couldn't have a Nuka Cola vending machine installed, perfect for tight, small spaces, I liked the way Blue Gadget thought sometimes, other times I thought he was insane.

I also sold these, and all the flavors of Nuka Cola, in 12 ounce cans made of standard aluminum, the tabs where slightly elevated more than a tab you'd find on a cola can on Earth, so those with hooves would be able to open them as well. I also had plans to acquire some Equestrian brands of soda, and I learned something interesting in my search for brands to buy.

Most companies rarely sold their soda in bottles! Equestria was still in the early 'Soda Fountain' stage of soft drinks, so I had a monopoly on the bottled soda business, despite that most RARELY sold soda in bottles, some still did so, as rarely does not imply none, so I'd still have some competition from brands I was unable to buy.

Another bit of interesting news was that Twilight Sparkle's sentence was up, however she wouldn't just be thrown back over the Empire's boarder, I'd launch her at Canterlot like a missile, IN a missile actually, she'd be completely safe due to the shielding I had placed upon the pod containing her, and once she was safely 20 feet away from the pod, it would explode into molten metal, destroying it, so I grinned as she screamed once the thing was launched, because she had no idea about the shielding, and she still had her wings clipped and an anti magic ring on her horn, preventing her from casting any kind of spell, I'm pretty sure at some point she pissed herself as she was launched, that was quite the laugh I got from that.

She would be fine however, I saw to it, I wasn't cruel enough to just smash her into the ground like a pancake, in other news...Chrysalis was fucking pregnant, I didn't expect that to happen when we did the deed, but the rest of the herd is so excited, this happened about two weeks ago, now she was in a dedicated egg laying room being tended to by nurse drones 24/7, I'm just as shocked as you all are, however Chrysalis assured me they would be changelings, and not a hybrid, and to my surprise we wouldn't even be the ones taking care of the nymphs, the nurse drones would, it was just the way changeling society worked, thank god I didn't feel like caring for 20 hyper children.

Yep, 20, she somehow KNEW how many eggs she was going to lay, her stomach was bloated as her nurse drones worked around the clock to construct an egg sack for her out of changeling goop and chitin, that would attach to her, Xenomorph queen style, creepy, yet cool at the same time, and as a side note, that is somewhat horrifying, the eggs she would lay? Would be the size of a damned basket ball, that HAD to be painful as hell, so I gave her med-x to take whenever she needed it, along with addictol to cure any addiction she'd get if she took to much med-x.

My Museum Of Technology had gotten a new exhibit, the Gauss Rifle, was added to the long list of weapons, as the outdated, but the great grandfather of the Empire's railguns, despite that not being true at all, it was believable due to how the gauss rifle worked, robots still used them sometimes, built into their arms, mainly sentry bots did, but those where slowly being replaced with railguns built into their arms.

Moon's therapy sessions had been going well, she no longer had random outbursts of rage or sobbing, and she had taken a liking to Spring Dancer, they where rather cute when they cuddled, seemingly Spring Dancer had been a friend for Moon, and as a side note, when I did the deed with Chrysalis, I did the same with the rest of the herd, thank GOD only changelings can get pregnant outside of their heat season, as I hadn't really thought about it, and thankfully I was not genetically compatible with the rest, as changelings where the exception, they could mate with ANYTHING and produce healthy offspring, yeah, just let that sink in for a minute.

--------------------------Canterlot Castle Gardens---------------

Celestia watched as the missile carrying Twilight grew closer to Canterlot, she had been told by Lorenzo, where it would land, and what would happen after Twilight for far enough away from the pod, so she had any animals directed away from the area to prevent death, just as she was pondering this, the pod crashed into the gardens with a small shock wave of heat, which barely affected her, being in control of the sun she would take much worse than that. Celestia watched as the pod opened up and Twilight was launched out, she was shivering and seemingly had bits of frost on her.

After teleporting Twilight to her side, she watched the pod melt as if it where chocolate left out in the sun for a day by some careless foal, truely she was glad Lorenzo was an ally, as even with her solar might she doubted she could destroy everything sent her way, but the hardest part was yet to come, as she still had to punish Twilight for what she had done, so after casting a few spells, returning the half frozen princess to normal and hugging her, she gave Twilight a sad look.

"Twilight, while I know you have just gone through quite the ordeal, I'm going to be forced to punish you further by stripping you of your power for three months while you attend mandatory classes to learn how to act around other rulers, and about international policies so you don't almost cause another war, you are quite lucky that Lorenzo is not one to attack for no reason, and that he is rational, had you done this to say, the griffons, or minotaur when their boarders where on lock down, we'd be in a full out war right now, so thank the maker."

Twilight looked like a kicked puppy as she nodded and spoke in barely a whisper. "I'll do anything...just don't put me back into one of those pods....it was so cold, I could see everything but not move my eyes...hearing everything going on around me, unable to even breathe..." Celestia hugged her harder.

"Don't worry Twilight, I won't do that to you." She nuzzled the purple alicorn and wrapped a wing around her as she teleported them both into the medical wing of the castle to give Twilight a more thorough medical checkup.

---------------Lorenzo's Empire------------

Chrysalis grinned as her nurse drones finished making her egg sack, now after about two hours, she could begin laying the eggs, that, was a part she did not look forward to, however Lorenzo had foreseen this and given her Med-X, something that would numb any pain she'd feel, she was thankful he had thought about that, as honestly she had given no mind to the chems she could have used to lessen the pain of laying twenty basketball sized eggs into a sack filled with mostly liquefied love fluid, or nectar as most changelings would call it. The egg laying room was an old crystal ballroom long since forgotten, it was cleaned up and redecorated to Chrysalis's liking, and she was just laying on a sort of beanbag chair on her back as her body prepared to lay eggs before the day was over.

Rain Shine, Moon, and Spring Dancer, where in the room as well, sitting on a large sofa to watch, and to chat about just how Rain Shine and Chrysalis had drained Lorenzo, sure they all got a shot at him, but those two, they had taken the most out of the guy, despite that, Spring Dancer still had to use a hoverchair to get around for a day and a half before she could feel her legs again, the mares within the herd considered it the best six hours of their relationship with Lorenzo, not that the rest of the time wasn't good, Lorenzo had to take something he called X-Cell, to not drop from exhaustion after the first three hours.

The herd talked for awhile, while nurse drones where prepping for the eggs to be layed, making small nests on the ground of changeling goo and resin, and nymph proofing any dangerous objects within the room, soon enough this room would be a nursery for any eggs the queen might lay.
