"This is a tale said around many a camp fire here in the Mojave. Some will tell you its a tall tale made up by drunken caravaners to past the time on the long and winding roads, but this is a true story. So come take a seat by the fire I have a fresh piece of mole rat in the pot if you care to indulge me with an audience... the story is of the strange pair..."

Thank you to frieD195 for editing and making it look pretty!
Will add tags as they come up.

Let us see what Twilight Sparkle shall uncover, hm?

Very good story
i have read a few Fallout equestria fanfics but never an Fallout cross over like this so it should be interesting.

So this became a wall of text.

First of all, I would like to say that the story has a decent concept, and it did hold my attention rather well. However it could be better, and needs some revision. First, there are a number of technical errors throughout the piece; a few run-on sentences here, a couple missing comas there, all easy stuff to fix. One major thing that kept popping up was tense confusion. Another minor thing was "shot gun," instead of shotgun.

Next, though, might be tougher to deal with. One of the harder to fix problems may be that there are times when your writing style is, well, blunt. An example can be found in your first paragraph: "As I left the storm behind I stopped to dust off the sand left on my shoulders revealing the crest of the Brotherhood. The crest was a sword in the middle of three gears on the left and one cog on the right with two wings encircling them." The last sentence here is lacking. It's a description and nothing more. I personally find something more akin to "As I left the storm behind, I stopped to dust off the sand stuck to my shoulders revealing painstakingly painted gears overlaid by an old-world blade –– the symbol of the Brotherhood of Steel," to be more appealing. And I'm certain most readers would agree. It may come as a surprise, but it is possible to be too descriptive. There's more examples throughout the writing, but it's late and I'm lazy.

Moving on. There's some technical bits regarding fallout cannon that got a bit garbled. Namely that while the Brotherhood may be draconian, they wouldn't exile/execute a member who was sent out on a mission with no support and got overpowered. That, right there, was enough to kill my suspension of belief. Also for some nagging reason by brain keeps telling me that the brotherhood wears Recon Armor in under their armor to interface with it, but I can't pin down where I'm remembering it from. An important thing to note is that the fallout universe runs on 1950's styled tech. You kept calling terminals computers. In FO, computers still run on vacuum tubes and tape reels. What you're using in game is just an input/output terminal, not the computer itself.

Continuing.

This last one requires a paragraph of its own due to the sheer >wat.png it induced when I read it. "I took of the battery pack that supplied the armor and tossed it and the L30 at the horde of Ghouls knocking them backwards I shielded my eyes as it detonated."
>wat.
Try and tell me that reads correctly. Even in context. Here is a recording of my thoughts, in order, as I reread that sentence for the fourth time. 1: "...I took of the battery pack..."2: I fail to see how the pack begins to factor into the equation at all, it was the gun going critical, not the suit. 3: Wait, did he just rip out the power source for hydraulically driven armor? How can he move? 4: Run on sentence. 5: two objects were thrown, and then you refer to them as the singular "it." 6: wat.

I really do want to like your work. It looks promising, but unrefined. My advice is to find a dedicated editor to run this stuff through before you post it.

My eyes shall keep watch on this story...

795618 thank you for your reveiw I love to hear what people think. Firstly while normally they do use recon armor for their power armor to work properly I choose not to simply out of preference because I think it doesn't look all that interesting (yes I'm petty). Second while the brotherhood would not kill one of their own for such a small action they would for the purpose of the writing scare him into believing failure means death. Or maybe it's just his own fears of failure that made him think that. Lastly I see your point I at time do come off as blunt as can of mace but hey practice makes perfect. Also for the part about why he's sent alone well the Mojave chapter is very undermanned so they don't have the forces to spare.

Yet another good story!:twilightsmile:

Haha. Hey bud, this story BETTER MAKE UP FOR DEVILS DUE FLIP SIDE OF THE COIN! If this doesn't equal up to it, you will never see the light of day.

811717 haha. I like this story, will track...

This is acceptable.

This is good, tracking. I assuming that it take place some time after the Courier woke up from getting shoot in the head, but before the Battle at Hoover Dam.

819370 yes sir. The Courier roams some where in the background...

curious faved to follow, you still have to earn the thumbs up though! XD

819455 well then give me time, the next chapter is sure to not disappoint.

This is good, it is an improvement on your last fanfic so looking forward to the rest

Please make him meet up with the courier again.

827480 if I have space he still needs to see Ryan and Alex again.

827509
Have him meet with the courier and do a reference to Wayward Courier or something with it. I would clap at a moderate pace.

Sue

819455 I hope to gain that like at some point.

832233 I like it is different to other fallout cross overs where in them the lone wanderer/courier goes to Equestria. But in this its the other way around and twilight goes to the the Mojave. I wish to see how this ends as it has grasped my attention which is difficult cause I am following two other fallout cross overs.

832444 okay then. Thank you for reading. The next chapter will be out soon.
