| Breathtaking | |
| By: Danielle Allen Date: May 22, 2016, 8:03 pm | |
| --------------------------------------------------------- | |
| Fox would see the Crystal Empire slowly disappear into the | |
| distance. Soon the snow began to really pick up as the dark | |
| mountains loomed ahead. The field and area around the place | |
| looked completely uninhabited. Danielle stayed quiet during the | |
| whole ride and just looked outside the window. | |
| In an hour or two, they finally began to see towers, walls, and | |
| checkpoints. Helicopters with spotlights flew through the | |
| mountains. They had to go through so many security searches and | |
| checkpoints that it extended the journey even longer. Finally | |
| they reached a large building with soldiers patrolling every | |
| inch of the place in addition to towers scanning the areas with | |
| spotlights. | |
| "Equestria's best snipers are on those towers. You know Morgan | |
| right? She was apart of that operation that you were on." | |
| Danielle helped Fox out of the Humvee and began to lead him into | |
| the large building | |

| Foxtrot remains silent throughout the trip, the vast expanse of | |
| snow providing a desolate landscape to lose ones self to. As | |
| they approach the base, he secures his things and readies to | |
| depart. He notes the defenses as well, the towers and walls | |
| must've been a challenge to construct in this environment. He | |
| follows Danielle out of the vehicle. "Looks like you guys have | |
| been dug in for a while." His ears perk up as he hears about | |
| Morgan. "Yea, I remember her. That whole team sure gave the | |
| Directors a run for their bits. Oh yea, hows that Walter guy? | |
| Last time I saw him he got Swiss cheesed." | |

| "They were a talented team." Another voice behind Fox would | |
| answer. "Personally, I'm fine. The stallion that you were | |
| referring to (Connor Cook. I swapped their names), Connor, | |
| didn't make it. So let's have a little more taste with the way | |
| we word things." He sighed. "Danielle get some rest, you've been | |
| up all day and we need you for the night patrol. Fox, good to | |
| see you again, but we got to hurry. Time is something we are | |
| running out of." | |

| Foxtrot bites his tongue when he hears the news. "That's... | |
| sorry to hear. The guy saved my ass a few times during that | |
| fight. But as you said, time is wasting, so lead the way." | |

| Walter continues into the facility expecting Fox to follow. | |
| Inside was hectic. Ponies in white coats and fatigues were | |
| hurrying around is papers and other devices, oblivious to Fox. | |
| "So we are working with a government organization that was | |
| created to study both these asteroids. Most of the soldiers we | |
| are working with are from the marines." Walter stepped into an | |
| elevator after scanning his eye on the panel and holding the | |
| door for Fox to step in. | |

| Foxtrot follows, making sure not to bump into anyone as they go | |
| through their business. Stepping into the elevator, he glances | |
| over to Walter. "How long has this operation been going? Looks | |
| like you guys have been hunkered over here for a while." | |

| "Oh yeah. These asteroids were discovered years ago. Well, this | |
| one was. The one we found in Appleloosa was recent, about a few | |
| monthes ago. A base is set up but it's still vulnerable. This | |
| particular base is nearly invisible. Only now have they begun to | |
| react in a very strange manner. Of course... it comes when | |
| Equestria is in uproar about terrorist attacks. Racism between | |
| species has never divided up a country like this." | |
| The elevator door opened into a narrow hallway that would | |
| eventually lead to more sliding doors and eventually a huge room | |
| with computer screens lining up the walls and huge ones lining | |
| up the walls near the ceilings. Some of them showing diagrams of | |
| the area they are surrounding while others showed graphs, waves, | |
| signals, and radars. In the front, under the screens were huge | |
| windows that revealed the asteroid. The room actually made a | |
| ring around the asteroid with windows lining up the entire | |
| perimeter so you could see it from every angle. In the room | |
| instelf was a mission control styled facility. Lines of desks | |
| lined up facing the windows that each had a Pony or Griffon | |
| sitting at it staring at monitors while papers flew around the | |
| room. The sound of tapping and low speaking voices filled the | |
| air. Walt and Fox were up on a scaffolding like area that | |
| overlooked the entire room. A stallion in digital camo fatigues | |
| had his back turned to the new arrivals. | |
| "Sir. Foxtrot has arrived." Walter stood up straight. | |

| Foxtrot has to struggle to keep his jaw from doing at the sight | |
| of the complex. The meteor itself is awe inspiring and the | |
| complex's layout around it was magnificent. Years of preparation | |
| he guessed. Still, to pull something of like this certainly | |
| couldn't have been easy. A second meteor in Appleloosa? What he | |
| wouldn't give for some warmer weather right now. No matter, he's | |
| here and witnessing something a minute fraction of individuals | |
| can share. As Walter addresses the stallion in the cool looking | |
| camouflage, he can't help but feel a bit jealous of his attire. | |

| Jennings perks his head up and turns around. | |
| "Ah Foxtrot. Please to meet you." He holds his hoof out. | |
| "Colonel Jennings. Pleasure to meet you. Sorry to call you out | |
| on such short notice during such hectic times. We really | |
| appreciate your cooperation though." | |

| "The pleasures all mine, Colonel." Foxtrot adds as he shakes his | |
| hoof. "You have me at a disadvantage here though. I don't know | |
| what I can do to help; you guys seem to have this locked down | |
| pretty well." | |
