A New Empire War And Peace
Chapter 55
Previous Chapter Next ChapterA few weeks had passed since the military demonstration friendly kingdoms participated in, about three. In that time a few interesting things had happened, for one the Plasmatic Plasma Rifle Version 2, had been finalized and was sleek, and elegant in its design, and it was no longer called the PPRV2, it was called the Solar Plasma Rifle Mark 3, due to the fact the plasma it shot was so hot it was pure white, not tinged by any color, and could melt through anything it shot at, as mentioned before the gun was 'smart' in a sense that it wouldn't work when pointed at Empire citizens or soldiers, and like all weapons if a hostile picked it up and tried to use it or study it, it would explode with the force of a M45 Tactical nuclear warhead, or as most people know those by, a mini-nuke.
Another interesting bit of news was one of the gas giants in this solar system was found to be rich in several useful gasses, such as hydrogen, Helium-3, and others I won't bother to name, the helium-3 was what was most interesting after all, a few starships using specially designed suction hoses where beginning to siphon off the gasses from the planet at a slow rate, however due to this the Empire now had several thousand tanks of helium-3. Astral Starlight had found the helium-3 boosted fusion cores and fusion cells by almost 700% and begin to produce prototype cores called BFC's or Boosted Fusion Cores, and H3FCs, or Helium-3 Fusion Cells. One fusion core for a laser weapon like the AER-10 or AER-11 gave the weapon 150 shots, with the prototype cores it gave the weapon exactly 1050, a staggering amount since the newer laser rifles from the AER-10 and up could switch to automatic and semi auto fire with the small flip of a switch located next to the trigger.
Some have asked, so I guess I'll explain, civilian energy weapons are indeed a thing, however they use fusion batteries for power rather than fusion cells, and can only accept fusion batteries, making the weapons 35% weaker than even the old AER-9's, this was to prevent them from being used as deadly weapons against say, the police, as their standard issue civilian combat armor would protect them from it rather well, someone without armor could still be hurt however, these AER-8 laser rifles as I called em, where mostly used for sport shooting and competitions. Something else that has come to light, is that the androids employed by the Empire for military usage, are more akin to the T-800 terminator from the first movie than the ones we see called Gen-1 and Gen-2 Synths in Fallout 4, civilian androids stayed the same as Gen-2 in Fallout 4, with the option to change their voices to whatever you wanted with a bunch of pre-set options and personality modes, this realization was brought up to my by Blue Gadget after he watched the 1984 movie The Terminator. As for how the military grade androids are more like the T-800? Rather simple, they were not made of a mix of plastics and metals like civilian ones are, they are made of a composite alloy of tungsten, and titanium, durable, strong, and rather fast and agile for something made of metal and electronics, they still had the rubber skin of the Gen-2's, because I liked the way it looked, however without the synthetic skin it was rather clear how similar the two robotic soldiers where.
Dark Sunrise walked into my throne room with a grin on his snout, he was the head of the RRAD, or Robotics Research And Development a crystal thestral, grey fur, bright green eyes, grey mane n tail, sept the tail had a white strip through it, and his wings where oddly colored as well, black outline of the parts with bones in em, but the flaps that actually made his bat wings up were white as snow, all in all he's the one who helps oversee, and develop sometimes, new robotic systems and the like. He saluted, standing on his hind legs as most feral crystal ponies tended to do over walking on all fours, and hoofed me his report. "The new Heavy Sentry Bot models are functioning perfectly and simulated combat testing has shown very promising results, these will be much better at dealing with minotaur or small dragons, or group after group of normal infantry and even some armored vehicles."
I nodded. "Good, continue production, I want 500 of these by this time next week ready for combat." I grinned thinking of the new design, putting the old ones to shame.
Dark Sunrise saluted. "Yes Your Majesty." And walked out to continue his work. I liked him he often tried to improve upon older designs.
The Heavy Sentry Bot's, would be four times the size of the current ones, and have several upgrades over older Empire standard models. They would have an assaultron head as a head to allow them the use of the assaultron laser, several backup camera eyes around their chassis, a 20 millimeter automatic railgun cannon in their right arm, and a rapid fire plasma cannon in the left, their backs where a normal sentry bots mortar launchers would go, would be small missile launchers primed and ready to fire rapidly, these could target aircraft, ground targets, and others, the combat AI was better as well, these bots would keep distance until they had to get close, in which case simple tungsten blades would pike those who got too close for the bots guns to be used without possible harm to the bot.
Now, some people have been asking for some odd reason, I thought I've said this before, but I will explain again, the cars used by the Empire, are modified versions of the ones seen pre war in Fallout-4, rather than fission or their normal engines, they used fusion cores for fuel, and could last up to a month on one core, they where made with a mix of steel and titanium, and the glass, was not glass, rather thin strong crystal grown and cut to shape and size then polished, able to take several shots from a gun before cracking, all glass in the Empire was actually crystal, aside from a few types of bottles. The cars had standard air condition and heating systems, and air filters, all of these powered by one fusion core, aside from those changes, they did look exactly like the cars in game, sept the truck, those had been modified to have four seats, the one seat cars except for the Cherry-bomb, where not in production due to being completely stupid in terms of design.
Semi-Trucks did not use the fusion core system, it drained the cores far too fast, so instead they where the only civilian vehicle allowed to use a MicroFusion Plant, pretty much a fusion reactor the size of a car battery, able to last hundreds of years without needing a recharge, no need to refuel was a huge advantage in military vehicles, but the semi-trucks where used to haul goods all across the Empire, sometimes if the goods needed to be kept cold, or frozen, refrigerated cars would be hooked to the trucks power supply.
With that out of the way, I'm going to go watch a movie with the Herd in the Palace's private theater, ah the perks of being King, the movie we where going to watch would be Alien, from 1979, Chrysalis and Moon had decided on the movie.
-------------------------------------------------------------Trevor--------------------------------------------------------------------
Trevor was running, he had gotten into, a few to many fistfights trying to spread the word of god to these people, and thus at last someone called the cops, the androids shouting for him to halt and get in the ground, the police cars siren wailing as it tailed him. Without thinking he turned down an alleyway and to his great surprise and luck it lead across a couple of buildings, sadly this had been predicted by the law enforcement androids and just as he was going to rush out the other end of the alleyway, another cop car rolled up to prevent him from escape, be turned around only to see the same at the entrance he had ran into, and the androids wearing blue combat armor got out of the car and took aim with a sleek tesla rifle set to stun before speaking, its voice harshly synthetic. "Halt. You will put your hands in the air and get on your knees or we will shoot." Trevor did so, slowly, he knew how cops had been back in America, who knew what these ones would do since they had fucking energy weapons of all things.
An android walked up and cuffed him before tossing him into the back of the car, and it sped off. It took less than a day for him to be sentenced by a judge, one year prison sentence, this terrified Trevor, he had been to prison before, for assault of all things like he was now, and his time in the prison was absolute hell, food not fit to be called that, small cot no blanket or pillow, no air conditioning, no free time, nothing to read, just stuck in a cell and only being allowed out for food, and mandatory exercise.
Within an hour after his sentence his home was locked up, the items on his person taken, and placed within the walls of an Empire Prison, it......didn't look like Trevor had expected, the walls where still concrete and the like, but there was no barbed wire on the tops, just some blue energy shield covering the entire ceiling of the Prison, made sense he guessed, since some species had wings, and weird ruins carved into the walls from the outside, he guessed prevented unicorns and the like from using magic to escape. Trevor learned rather quickly that this would be nothing like his time in prison before, the food was decent, sure not the best, but it certainly beat the prison food he had been all but forced to eat before, the cells where a decent size, beds a tad small, but they came with one pillow and one blanket each, so it was better than nothing, within a week he had gotten used to this weird system, rather than being locked into a cell, prisoners where encouraged to do various activities such as fishing, pottery, reading, writing, cooking, cleaning, being taught various useful skills, rather than be a hole to toss people into and forget about to let them rot, it seemed prisons in this Empire focused on reformation and the idea that if you make someone a useful part of society they are not likely to commit crimes again, wasn't all good however, still had to go to your cell past a certain time, and be locked in, but, still better than his last experience with prison.
----------------------------------------------------------Empire Citizenship Sign Up----------------------------------------------------------------
Zecora looked at the Mr.Handy who had handed her, and the other two mares with her, Octavia Melody, and Vinyl Scratch, their Identification cards, charge cards, set up their separate bank accounts, Zecora was going to go into the potion research section, in the medical center of the Empire to compare her own recipes for potions and the like with the ones from here, perhaps she could learn something, or perhaps she could teach something as well, either one would be fine with her.
Octavia Melody and Vinyl Scratch would themselves, be going into the music business, their odd combination of dubstep and classical music was likely to do well here, and it was high time they had a change of scenery, music here was said to have many more varieties and styles than back in Equestria. Octavia looked over to Scratch. "Well Vinyl, we're here, any specific type of home you wan to move into?"
Vinyl grinned checking out the digital listing of available places to be moved into right away, all they had to do was mark it as theirs and they would be taken to it, it was pre furnished, 5th floor of a large skyscraper. "That one Tavy, large enough for two mares, one extra room if we have somepony over, and if not, it can be a storage room for our equipment!"
Octavia nodded. "Alright this seems like a good choice, we'll go with that then." Octavia selected the home in the picture, well apartment more like it, but you didn't pay rent or bills, so she didn't know what to call it, and it lit up green, before turning bright red, marking it as claimed, meaning she had taken it and it was thus removed from the lists, and the Mr.Handy would have grinned if it had a mouth.
"Perfect! You two get on the bus and be on your way, your zebra friend already left 15 minutes ago, don't forget your pin numbers, and your two phones." And thus they where on their way. Octavia looked at the Nukatron outside the entrance to their new home building before looking at Scratch. "Do you have any idea what Nuka Cranberry is?"
