As dawn breaks on the city of Canterlot, Foxtrot begins to stir
on a cushioned bench before lifting his head to look around.
Scanning his surroundings, he surprisingly still finds himself
in the restricted section of the Royal Gardens, tucked cozily
away in one of the gazebos surrounded by a menagerie of exotic
and beautiful flora. Foxtrot yawns and begins to stretch, "Huh,
eight nights in a row? That's a new record." The unicorn gets
off the bench and picks up his backpack resting on the side of
it; wrapping it over his shoulders he stretches once more. As if
in routine he picks up his katana and guitar and trots over to
one of the statues, laying down behind its base as a trio of
Royal Guards stroll by the once inhabited gazebo, 'Punctual as
always.' The guards walk away, leaving the unicorn alone again
with his thoughts and gear. Getting up, Foxtrot checks his
backpack, guitar, and sword, making sure nothing was out of
place or randomly damaged. "Everything seems to be in order,
good. Now then... what to do, what to do..." He reaches into his
pocket and pauses when he finds something unfamiliar; he pulls
it out to find the key Lima gave him a short time ago, the tag
B14 still attached to it. The unicorn lifts the key up to eye
level, examining its features; slightly worn and partially
rusted, it doesn't really give any indication as to where it
goes. With his free hoof Foxtrot gets his tagger and turns it
on; with a burst of static the pony begins to rotate the dial,
causing the device to chirp and click as he does so. Suddenly
the tagger goes dead silent, "Damn it, it's kicked." Sighing,
Foxtrot puts away the device and reaches for the envelope that
came with the key and pulls out the note that came with it.
Reading it over he finds no clue as to what this key does, where
it goes, or even how he can find out. His ears fold down, the
lack in information not being very comforting as the voices in
his mind begin to argue on what it could be for. Suddenly,
Foxtrot's ears perk back up, "I am such an idiot!" He quickly
flips the note over to thankfully find more text on the back,
"Why did I do this before? Anyways." His ear flicks as the sound
of more guards coming pushes him to hastily take cover back
behind the statue, his tail though being slightly visible.
Lowering his head to the ground Foxtrot goes prone and brings
the note up to his nose, the random blade of grass interrupting
the sentences. 'Go to the industrial district. Find warehouse
B-14, located next to abandoned airship hangar. Your orders are
there.'
"Huh, warehouse B-14. I wonder what's there..." Foxtrot gets up
and looks around, the guards are nowhere in sight. The unicorn
turns around to find that he was very wrong. "Oh! Hello there
officers! How may I assist you?"
"Sir, you're trespassing in the Royal Gardens in the middle of
the morning." The first unicorn guard says, his tone stern. The
second pegasus guard brings his lance forward, a result from the
increasing security the castle now has. "You're under arrest."
Foxtrot brings his hoof up, making the pegasus guard inch closer
with his weapon, "Woah, hold on. I'm with the Military
Assistance Command, I have authoritative access here." He
pauses, not really sure if that was a true statement or not.
"Contact the captain on duty right now. They'll sort this out."
The unicorn guard looks at Foxtrot for a moment, keeping note of
the weapon right next to his target. He glances at his partner,
"Keep an eye on him." The pegasus nods and keeps his eyes
trained on the trespasser. The first guard reaches into his
armor and pulls out an amulet; it gives off a light glow,
"Captain Victus sir. I have a unicorn here trespassing in the
gardens claiming he's with the Military Assistance Command."
The scene is silent for a moment before Victus's voice goes
through, "He's with us. Lead him to the front gate, then resume
your patrol."
The guard nods, "Yes sir." and places the amulet back in his
armor. "Follow us sir." The pegasus guard sheathes his weapon
and trots behind the other two unicorns, making sure the 'guest'
was properly escorted out of the premises. After a short walk
the three end up at the front gate. Foxtrot is politely tossed
out the front door, and into the streets of Canterlot.
Foxtrot pushes himself up to his hooves, wincing a little from
the injury, "Damn they didn't have to literally kick me out."
Shaking off the pain he looks at the city for a moment, enjoying
the view for a short moment. "Alright, warehouse B-14."Wasting
no more time the unicorn begins trotting down the trail to the
industrial district.
