[GRIMDARK] Fallout Equestria: Project Horizons Discussion

Last wrote:I'm just not sure the technology supports something like that.

The stasis pods freeze whoever is placed inside them indefinitely.

What the foal needs is an eviroment that not only allows time to pass so that it can grow, but also provides it with the sustenance and hormones for it to develop properly.

What I'm saying is I think what you're proposing may actually be more difficult then trying to build a machine from scratch. What's exactly is being utilized from the pods in the modification? The container that actually physically holds the patient?

Edit: Because I'm not very good at being clear. I mean the glass sphere or cylinder (I don't remember the shape.) that holds the patient. Not any of the stuff that keeps what's inside in it's "frozen" state.


There is an easier more gruesome solution.

Recapture Cogs. Remove the armor plating from BJ's old belly and reorganize the life support systems so they no longer impede the womb's growth and seal it off with another BJ clone's skin. Also probably remove her legs and chain her up somewhere.

Could be wrong here but I'm thinking it's within the realm of posibility that Glory could just confirm or deny what Cogs already told BJ. And as you said she doesn't have a reason to lie, Cogs has been  shown to be unwilling to use the baby as leverage.

Start a petition. Bunch of signatures and a donation.

Somber plz. pls dont.
Or: keep it minimal, like a radroad scurrying away if and when Blackjack finds the sword again. Subtle, like the Pink Eyes reference in chapter thirty four.

I forget. Was Lacunae's telepathy only with Blackjack, or did it extend to everyone else, too? If so, you'd think that would be an option to make communication with Stygius easier.

Well in the show, Tirek escaped in season two in one of the earlier episodes when Cerberus left. I'm also sure there was a reference to Cerberus escaping somewhere in the story,

I'm not sure that this chapter, "Caper," was appropriately named. I can't really think of anything that's a mystery that's really contained in it. Sure, there's the murder of Tulip, but that's resolved—well, swept to the side—immediately and without conflict. There's stuff related to Eternity and perhaps even Hightower more generally, but those aren't especially tied in to the chapter. Sure, stuff happens with them, but I'm not sure there's any particular reason to say this one is more associated with them than others. Basically, I think it might have been titled to work in with the cliffhanger from the last chapter and the start which looked like it could be a crime/forensic drams, but again, that was dropped, or at least deferred, early on. Anyway, I'd be interested in hearing what the title was referring to, if anyone remembers specifically.

Assume that she mislead Blackjack, that BJ could have her own kid. Why would Cogs not want BJ to believe that? Obvious answer is protection, Blackjack is less likely to shoot the body that keeps her kid alive.

True enough. But if BJ is ever in a situation where she has to kill Cogs to stop her plan I don't think a baby will be as much shield as it is hesitation.

BJ doesn't believe there will be a world left for her baby to be born in if Project Horizons goes off. So if BJ ever is forced to kill Cogs the outcomes are my baby dies or my baby and everything else dies. It'd be one thing if BJ was actually convinced that what Cogs was planning to do would work, but that's clearly not how it is.

Honestly if the baby could be placed in BJ then there's more incentive to do that than not. BJ was full of doubt, she wanted to run away somewhere safe when she was in the core. Now she posesses a body that can't save her baby. No matter what happens someone else will have to find a solution. BJ has every reason to go all out against Cogs now.

As for attachment and defending the fetus? I really don't see it. I just think Cogs wants to feel superior to BJ and the fact she doesn't kill foals is what makes her feel that way. 

Last wrote:Ummm, but that is clearly not what Cognitum said. She said she'd look for a suitable surrogate, she didn't say BJ could carry her baby in a few weeks.

It's pretty clear to me that BJ will not be carrying this baby. At least not in the blank body she has now.

I think it'd be more productive to try and find more interesting solutions then to try and find loopholes in what Cogs said.

How about this for instance? Place the fetus in one of the stasis pods till Scotch is more physically mature and can carry it.

There's the possibility that she's as close to BJ as Twilight's relative who I can never remember the name of is to Twilight.

I need to know. Why do people keep brining up Grace? She's related to Twilight, that means nothing to BJ. Except for the fact she can say "I technically have family. Sorta. kinda. A little bit."

I am under the impression that hormones could be used to correct this if administered by a trained professional...
