4th Sun: When Life Gives you Darkness, be a Ninja. [Visual, obvs locked from Zetta and his allies]

[pirateponyprincess]

[The scrolls have been very active these past few days, and for good reason. It's time for everypony's favorite princess-turned-pirate to make her own contribution.]

In times like these, one of my favorite things to do is to use my opponents' greatest advantages against them. For instance, tricking a faction's dreadnaught flagship into firing its main cannon in the direction of its fleet, or feeding a vast and connected information network a small web of well-placed lies. It can be rather effective if used correctly.

Our opponent's greatest strength right now? I'm sure you can guess.

[At this moment, the ever-lengthening eclipse for the day starts, passing over Celestia and rendering everything on the screen black. Yes, she did in fact time this post to achieve exactly that effect.]

I require some assistance in taking advantage of this. I wish to do some covert information gathering in enemy territory, and possibly get some clues as to how this was achieved. Those planets were moved somehow, and I am willing to bet they can be moved again.

Who wants to play in the dark?

Given Zetta's abilities stolen from Luna, dreamwalking may not be the best of ideas. He will most likely notice.

...Might be for the best. Neph is running ragged.

Guess I'll do this the sneaky way. Got a knife, not that it'll do much against an alert minion.

[pirateponyprincess]

How experienced are you with stealth operations? You're going to need more than a knife.

[mechmadeoflove]

I was a guerilla warrior back home. Harder than that sounds in power armor.

[pirateponyprincess]

There are many roles, even in guerrilla warfare. What did you do, exactly?

[mechmadeoflove]

Recon in force. A scout with teeth, basically. I'd sneak close enough to spy on the enemy, then end them from ambush when possible.

The... we called them Nightmares... were individually weaker but they outnumbered us thousands to one. We had to get in, get the kill and get out without raising the alarm or it got bad.

[pirateponyprincess]

I see. That will be acceptable for our needs. I will give you further details once I have scouted the area. Expect departure by the end of the week.

[mechmadeoflove]

As you command, Captain.

...With love as my weapon and trust as my armor, your will be done.

[pirateponyprincess]

Please, I don't require the formalities. I gave that up quite a while ago.
