The Northern Vanhoover Wasteland is an okay place to live. If you can handle the thunderstorms, killer swamp creatures, and few eccentric communities, it's honestly really not that bad. Finding themselves displaced from their home by a couple hundred kilometers thanks to a scavenging trip gone awry are lifelong friends Static Charge and Night Strike, earth pony and pegasus, respectively, who really don't want much more than to get themselves back home to their loving families.As they travel and explore the lands north of the city of Vanhoover, though, they may find that their unexpected entrance has caused more attention than they'd hoped - and they may wind up being the last hope for saving Equestria.Empty Quiver is a Fallout: Equestria fan fiction written by both the-furry-railfan and MintyCandy.It is a sequel to Fallout: Equestria - Occupational Hazards, and is available for reading on Fimfiction.net here. | |

Friendly Sniper: Aerith. With one of her preferred weapons being a scoped M1 Garand lookalike, and advising Night Strike in using her own automatic sniper rifle War Crime, she seems to know best what she's doing when it comes to long-range shooting. | |

Abnormal Ammo: Crash Dive's favored weapon is a repurposed harpoon gun that fires cut lengths of steel rebar. The Solar Burst grenades would also fit, described as having the same explosive yield as a balefire egg despite being a thrown or grenade rifle-launched payload. | |

| Fallout: Equestria - Empty Quiver (Fanfic) / int_13eea985 | comment |
Arbitrary Skepticism: Quite late into the story, the group runs into a pony adamantly convinced that megaspells are an urban myth. Even after becoming rendered a ghoul by the one used to destroy the Battered-Sea, he still clings to this belief, much to Night Strike's frustration. | |

Title Drop: It being a piece of military terminology, the phrase 'Empty Quiver' does appear often early on in the story. In an odd case, the title of the fic before it is mentioned as well upon returning to Hopeville with some of the guns from Seahoof. | |

Poirot Speak | |
| Fallout: Equestria - Empty Quiver (Fanfic) / int_18e2980 | comment |
Poirot Speak: Text being a more difficult medium to portray accents in compared to a spoken word, this shows up with certain characters. Crash Dive occasionally uses British obscenities and terms, while Mad Jack in contrast has the accent and disposition of a more proper albeit fun-loving British officer. Rheinmetall often uses German words and responses when speaking, as does Caution Tape, though in both cases it isn't excessive enough to make following a conversation difficult. Serene Steel shows the most pronounced 'accent' of any of the German characters. One of the medics from Destruction Bay, a moose named Jean, has a definite Canadian accent going on from the few lines she's had so far. Two-thirds of the crew of the Cordite BT-42 speak fluent Finnish, with the driver possibly exclusively speaking it. As for the commander, he holds a British accent, much like Mad Jack. The crew of the Liberty Bell, a French S35 cavalry tank, all speak both English and French, usually lapsing into the latter when expressing disbelief or annoyance. | |

Anti-Air | |
| Fallout: Equestria - Empty Quiver (Fanfic) / int_1eed1d03 | comment |
Anti-Air: A big part of the story is dedicated to outfitting towns with larger and larger guns capable of downing airborne foes. This is the least bit due to the group discovering Crash Dive's old Grand Pegasus Enclave unit is still alive, and all flying their own aircraft at that. Oh, and also giant robotic dragons. The usefulness of the guns is minimal, but it is increasing as the story progresses. Probably on account of the gunners not having many things to shoot at. With the HMS Cadence up and running for the most part, it's sizable complement of anti-air batteries have been able to put to use as of page 94. A 4-inch quick-firing gun loaded with a flak shell, and about eight 40mm autocannons tends to be pretty effective against most flying stuff. The tank ghouls play some part in this as well, as three of them carry roof-mounted machine guns originally meant for AA defense. Not to mention Rheinmetall's tank mounting the 8.8cm KwK 36, which due to it being based off of the Flak 36 allows it to fire the air-burst Flak 88 shells used with the guns found at the sub pen... provided the dragons are flying low enough, anyways. | |

The HMS Cadence herself is one of these, having been maintained in mostly working order for two and a half centuries by Fowler. Less of a Chekhov's Gun and more of a Chekhov's Gunship. | |

Only Sane Man: While he has his moments, Static Charge is firmly on this track thanks largely to being the only member of the group not utterly explosive happy, not massively mutated and completely mute, and not bitter and still suffering from lifelong borderline fascist programming.

Law of Inverse Recoil | |
| Fallout: Equestria - Empty Quiver (Fanfic) / int_2941069e | comment |
In similar senses, Boomer the automatic grenade machine gun and War Crime the .50 caliber full-auto sniper rifle. Former is too heavy for most ponies to utilize without the assistance of magic or power armor, or a fixed mounting on a vehicle, and the latter fully averts the Law of Inverse Recoil. War Crime's shoulder-breaking recoil has been remedied at least somewhat by Page 32, wherein it was revealed the recoil lock was left on, and promptly switched off. | |

Lampshade Hanging | |
| Fallout: Equestria - Empty Quiver (Fanfic) / int_2a090d00 | comment |
Lampshade Hanging: The owner of the gun shop in Hopeville laments the fact that oftentimes ponies will pay in junk they'd found around the wasteland. Night Strike's method of getting Crash Dive and Scouring Charge through Seahoof's perimeter fence; Also of note is her method of 'picking' locks, which involves loading her 40mm grenade rifle with a slug shell and aiming it square at the bolt she needs to go through. Bobby pins aren't an issue if you have a big shotgun. While riding on the back of the mini-tank and facing the wind, Night Strike can't help but question the purpose of ponies having such massive eyes. While likely intended as a rant against repeat addicts, a frustrated rant by one doctor seems to be referring to the habits of certain Fallout players when it comes to performance enhancing drugs: After checking on her weapons again following another explosion, Night Strike can't help but remark on how well they seemed to weather the blast, fitting in line with how a weapon in the Fallout games can only be damaged when someone's holding it. The bottles of Sparkle-Cola she was storing alongside them, however... The majority of the ride back west is implied to've consisted of several discussions and arguments of this nature, starting with the question 'Is a Gauss Rifle classified as an energy weapon or ballistic weapon?' and moving on to 'why do laser weapons have recoil?', and so forth. Upon arrival in Maple Station, they take a jab at settlements and settlement crafting, courtesy of Rangefinder, one of the Tank Ghouls. Another jab at Fallout comes in the form of Night Strike dispatching a raider ghoul that was charging them with a lead pipe. Upon closer inspection, the raider was revealed to have a grenade rifle on him, with ammunition, and left unused. This is a behavior notably seen with the Boomers of Nellis AFB, if made an enemy. Upon discovering the entrance to a pre-war gunsmith's personal bomb shelter, Static is quick to remark that the massive cog-shaped door familiar to any Fallout fan has one odd quirk - it opens backwards, relative to the Stables they've seen previously. Older Fallout fans will recognize that the door opening outwards rather than inwards is a staple of the Vaults in the Fallout games prior to Fallout 3. | |

By Page 86, it's clear that there's soon to be something big on the horizon. What do the Vanhoover Five do? Start putting out calls for more tanks, start prepping the Vanhoover Air Base for battle, and get an entire friggin' warship staffed to fighting capacity. More Dakka indeed. | |

Awesome, but Impractical | |
| Fallout: Equestria - Empty Quiver (Fanfic) / int_2bdae2ae | comment |
Awesome, but Impractical: The Cool Sword Night Strike picks up proves to be certainly awesome. An ancient weapon gifted to Equestria following a war with the Griffins, it is a masterfully crafted blade, powerful and capable of dicing up most heavy armour, with an electrical after-effect to boot. Unfortunately it wasn't made with ponies in mind, and proves to be poorly weighted for someone of her size and stature. In similar senses, Boomer the automatic grenade machine gun and War Crime the .50 caliber full-auto sniper rifle. Former is too heavy for most ponies to utilize without the assistance of magic or power armor, or a fixed mounting on a vehicle, and the latter fully averts the Law of Inverse Recoil. War Crime's shoulder-breaking recoil has been remedied at least somewhat by Page 32, wherein it was revealed the recoil lock was left on, and promptly switched off. | |

Demolitions Expert | |
| Fallout: Equestria - Empty Quiver (Fanfic) / int_33fd5904 | comment |
Demolitions Expert: Scouring Charge holds the most knowledge of the Vanhoover Five when it comes to the handling and rewiring of large quantities of explosives, with Night Strike coming in at a close second - though, given her usual attitudes, she does often straddle the line between this and Mad Bomber. | |

Elsewhere Fic: Similar to its predecessor in this regard, but unique in that it follows in the wake of the original Fallout: Equestria once the world has begun to recover. Very little is truly remarked upon save for the occasional mention of the conflict with the Enclave and occasional mentions of a near-legendary figure known as "the Lightbringer". | |

Boring, but Practical: Averted by almost every character in the fic when it comes to weapons, save for the odd exception such as Aerith's tommy gun or Static's Pulaski fire tool. Equally, while it doesn't make much explode, Static's magic-vision goggles have been surprisingly helpful in picking out certain foes. | |

The latter is explained upon later in the story. The great soda massacre of '84; all that's known is that it involved Minty Candy, a primarily energy weapons user, a conventional pistol, and a lot of soda. | |

Guy in Back: The Valkyrie requires two to operate at full capacity, a pilot and another pony to work all the offensive, defensive, and surveillance equipment, operating the turrets or setting up the bombing computers for example. After it is repaired and becomes airworthy again, Static fits this role. During the attack on the remains of the Battered-Sea crater, Night Strike fills this role for Rangefinder and Fyre, acting as the gunner, loader, and commander for the tank while Rangefinder drove. | |

Curb-Stomp Battle | |
| Fallout: Equestria - Empty Quiver (Fanfic) / int_3d699462 | comment |
Curb-Stomp Battle: Shortly after leaving Seahoof for a third time, the group is approached by a small flock of four Talon mercenaries. Following the ensuing eruption of gunfire aimed towards them, two promptly make the decision to regroup and rethink their plan of attack. To emphasize just how one-sided this one proved to be, most of the combatants were taken out in just under a paragraph. By comparison the massed Raider attack on Page 12 took up the majority of that chapter, despite being equally one-sided. Once again with the mercenaries, this time while the Five had hitched a ride aboard the heavily-armed Trout. Because attacking a target while they're onboard a gunboat is a great idea. | |

Leaning on the Fourth Wall: The writers aren't above highlighting the odd moments from the Fallout games in their stories, or even gameplay mechanics.

Disproportionate Retribution | |
| Fallout: Equestria - Empty Quiver (Fanfic) / int_50b05d30 | comment |
Disproportionate Retribution: Molly Manticore's Pizzeria, with it's lack of lighting and generally creepy atmosphere, was otherwise just a harmless wasteland building the group had the misfortune of wandering into. The next scene involves the group watching as the building is effectively tactical nuked, when the size of the blast is taken into account, purely because the animatronics were a little disturbing. Crash Dive's usual response to several subjects tends to be this. This comes back to bite her when her overprotective attitude towards Night Strike turns her momentarily violent towards Static Charge. Page 40 rather cements Night Strike's feelings towards animatronics of any description. Upon Aerith locating the rusted hulk of an animatronic Manticore that was completely incapable of movement, Night Strike moves to ask all of the tank ghouls that were at the range at the time if she could use their cannons. Bearing in mind that the tanks involved had guns in 37mm, 76mm, 88mm, and 290mm calibers, and all loaded high explosives at Night Strike's request... vaporized isn't quite the right term for what was there after the smoke cleared. | |

Hero of Another Story | |
| Fallout: Equestria - Empty Quiver (Fanfic) / int_581f6468 | comment |
Hero of Another Story: Played with. Scouring Charge has had more combat experience than the other heroes combined, and more experience with the Vanhoover wasteland on the whole. He even is part of his own Five-Man Band and holds better contacts among some major Wasteland organizations. While he plays second fiddle to Night Strike and Static Charge, he also disappears for chunks of the story to pursue his own goals. Hispano is a straighter example, as she comes straight from the story Fallout Equestria: Long Haul. Same for Marigold and the Seaddler, as well as a few of the medics brought in from Destruction Bay. The situation with Hispano is rather interesting, as of page 82 she's revealed to have met and befriended Aerith some time prior to the events of Empty Quiver. The crew of the Cordite BT-42 counts as well, also coming from Long Haul. | |

Old Soldier: Most of the Maple Station tank ghouls qualify as this, having served for the Equestrian military prior to the bombs falling. They're hardly as shellshocked and cynical as the usual portrayals of this trope, however. Also applicable to both the BT-42 crew from Cordite, all of them ghouls as well, and the several Foallands War veterans arriving to assist with operating the HMS Cadence. | |

Meaningful Name | |
| Fallout: Equestria - Empty Quiver (Fanfic) / int_6bda9a30 | comment |
Meaningful Name: As per the franchise, the name of each character tends to reflect some aspect of their personality or creation in some way. The same often goes for their guns. This also applies to some of the vehicles seen. Mad Jack's tank Avery is a Churchill AVRE; Rheinmetall's tank Porschia is Ferdinand Porsche's bid for the Tiger tank; Rangefinder's tank Fyre is a Sherman Firefly; and Caution Tape's tank Deathtrap is a T-35, which was rather notorious for breaking down and not exactly being endowed with armor. Doubly so when you consider the poorly-shielded reactor in the back. One of the tanks shipped in from Cordite to assist is named the Liberty Bell. Matching with the real tank, crews of the SOMUA S35 remarked that due to the thick cast hull and turret armor, when struck with the anti-tank weaponry of the day, the tank had a tendency to ring like a bell would. Though this is more of an obscure reference, the gryphon mercenaries encountered throughout the story all have this going for them. Merlin and Royce are named for engines that powered the Supermarine Spitfire, of which the later variants utilized an engine known as the Rolls-Royce Griffon. Hispano and her sister Suiza likewise are named for the company that produced the 20mm autocannon used extensively by British forces in WWII, one of which Hispano herself carries as a primary weapon. | |

Punny Name: Fowler refuses to run more than one of the HMS Cadence's four reactors for Radio KAOS, and even then he only runs it at quarter-power. While this does have a reasonable explanation, the one which Fowler gave was that he doesn't care at all for the music played on the station - well, he IS a Petty Officer. For fans of the show, many would recall a sea serpent in the first few episodes which the youtube captions named 'Steven Magnet', and this was confirmed his canon name as of episode 100. What's the name of the robotic sea serpent encountered late on in the story? Steven Electromagnet. The authors are not sorry for the pun. | |

Mugging the Monster | |
| Fallout: Equestria - Empty Quiver (Fanfic) / int_7276d0de | comment |
Mugging the Monster: A few rather less than intelligent ponies opt to try and steal the group's half-track not long after they arrive in Vanhoover. It doesn't end well for them. The same thing happens again on their later arrival, where the corrupt guards try to steal a rather large cannon the heroes are trying to sell off. It only takes Static a few seconds to make them realize how bad an idea this would be. Even later on, upon arrival at Maple Station once again, a townspony approaches the group claiming that Static's stealth suit has been finished being repaired, and she was there to deliver and collect on the payment of a thousand caps. After Night Strike points out they'd picked it up weeks ago, and lunges to get the 'stealth suit' from the mare, the wannabe scammer makes a swift exit. | |

Easy Logistics: Played with. The tank ghouls have access to an ammunition replication cart and all their vehicles run on magical reactor power, which means ammunition and fuel isn't an issue for them, but finding trained crews to help with operating the vehicles is a concern. Especially so in the case of the HMS Cadence - 750 crew for one ship is a lot to ask for in a post-apocalyptic wasteland. | |

Technical Pacifist: Static seems to prefer to avoid conflict whenever possible, and when he does have to fight he does it with what's really a glorified lengthened taser in an umbrella, disabling rather than killing. He tends to rely on Night Strike to deliver killing blows, but he will enable death and destruction if the opportunity presents itself - as long as he isn't the one directly doing it. The only time Static's ever killed another sentient, sapient being is when dealing with Doctor Haukohl. | |

Everything Makes a Mushroom | |
| Fallout: Equestria - Empty Quiver (Fanfic) / int_791ef98c | comment |
Everything Makes a Mushroom: Non-megaspell or balefire bomb-generated mushroom clouds have appeared twice so far. The first was the destruction of Molly Manticore's with, among other ordinance, a 600mm High Explosive mortar shell. The second, and more recent, was the detonation of a 900kg fuel-air bomb for the destruction of an old research dock that was supposedly acting as breeding grounds for a few of the nastier creatures seen in Vanhoover. The rather messy destruction of another Molly Manticore's involved an accidental creation of a boiling liquid expanding vapor explosion when a raider carrying a flamethrower was set alight and fell against a large fuel tank. The resulting blast was sufficient enough to generate a mushroom cloud and level a block of the town. Naturally, when the first actual megaspells are detonated in the story, both generate massive location-appropriate mushroom clouds. | |

Shell-Shocked Veteran: Though not having served in the military, Twintails does develop a healthy case of thousand-yard-stare when looking back towards NEAMO Crater. Night Strike exhibits some symptoms of PTSD upon arrival back at the lighthouse as well. The source is likely from the surprise attack against them in the train tunnel, as she woke up screaming after hearing a sound byte of a jet aircraft flying overhead followed by a bomb exploding, part of a song played on Radio KAOS. | |

This is taken up a notch on Page 30. Thanks in part to her unusual origins, and the fact that Night Strike has drunk so much of it, Sparkle Cola has given her a kind of benign mutation. Upon consuming it, she's imbued with a minor Healing Factor. | |

Breather Episode: Given the action heavy nature of many sequences, the story can be divided between slower paced and more character driven segments, and arcs which press ahead with the main plot.

To put this in perspective, this is a gun as long as she is tall - and that's without the barrel extension, which adds another few feet to the length. Big Fucking Gun indeed. Quick Fire, the gunner of the BT-42, owns a pristinely-kept Lahti L39 20mm Anti-Tank rifle. He uses it for hunting. | |

There Is No Kill Like Overkill | |
| Fallout: Equestria - Empty Quiver (Fanfic) / int_8b606a51 | comment |
There Is No Kill Like Overkill: The destruction of Molly Manticore's involved an unmeasured amount of C4, at least ten balefire eggs of unmentioned yield, and a 600mm high explosive mortar shell. Considering the resulting blast and fireball generated a mushroom cloud and was visible from the next town over, it's safe to say there's nothing recognizable left of the place. Using chlorine gas bombs to clear out an ant colony (and also deny access to whatever's left at Seahoof to pretty much anyone without airtight protective gear)? Why not! As evidenced by page 40, this is the reaction deemed appropriate for dealing with anything of an animatronic nature in Night Strike's book, moving or not. Being fair, this is Night Strike incarnate. Considering her favorite weapons are a 40mm shotgun/grenade rifle and a fully-automatic sniper rifle chambered for a round commonly used for destroying military materiel, it doesn't take too much to see this in action. Oh, and that grenade rifle? The same chapter she gets her automatic .50 cal sniper rifle, she also gets some new ammunition for Thumper. Said ammunition has a blast yield equivalent to a Balefire Egg, Fallout Equestria's equivalent to the Fat Man's small tactical nuclear warhead. | |

Macross Missile Massacre | |
| Fallout: Equestria - Empty Quiver (Fanfic) / int_8b93a168 | comment |
Macross Missile Massacre: Scouring Charge's main weapon, Sunburst, is a fully-automatic rapid-fire missile launcher, based off of the Red Glare from Lonesome Road. Later on, Contrail's personal aircraft the Icarus takes flight in the final battle, loaded with 24 hollow-charge anti-tank rockets on the wings. There's also discussion of using a barrage of V-1 cruise missiles against Fort Maple as well. | |

Harmless Villain | |
| Fallout: Equestria - Empty Quiver (Fanfic) / int_8c23b321 | comment |
Harmless Villain: Though technically not entirely harmless, the closest that the band of mercenaries led by Merlin and Royce came to actually harming any of the five was resorting to a Balefire Egg Launcher, and that only served to damage their mode of transportation. | |

Wham Episode | |
| Fallout: Equestria - Empty Quiver (Fanfic) / int_8e20979 | comment |
Wham Episode: Page 18. Upon the group's return to Seahoof they make a more careful examination of the facility with fewer interruptions and giant ants. To both Night Strike and Static's horror, they discover several prototype anti-dragon attack aircraft taken by someone at some point from the base. Oh, and news reports mention similar aircraft are now patrolling Vanhoover... Made worse by the fact that, as of page 24, along with the aircraft having gone missing is a rack of eight 900-kilogram (roughly 1-ton) thermobaric bombs. Oh, and the one which tried to attack the group might have had an Enclave pilot flying it. Then on page 78, right after a calm and positive outing where the Valkyrie finally takes to the skies once more, the group witnesses a mushroom cloud rising over Hopeville. Similarly on page 82, after Static and Night Strike finally get a reprieve from things and find the time to explore a gunsmith's bunker, the Valkyrie finishes processing the photos taken the page prior. What they reveal is that Cerberus is now in control of a decent stockpile of proper tactical megaspell warheads, ones that while not as large as the Valkyrie's own are still multitudes more powerful than balefire eggs. | |

Also the method used to destroy a submarine harboring Anglerponies. Used once again to vaporize a theme park harboring an animatronic manticore. And once again the utilized method for thoroughly disabling a siege mortar laying waste to Hopeville. Serves to make Night Strike question if they're really the good guys, what with them throwing these things around willy-nilly. And, finally, the method used to destroy Project Cerberus, by throwing both of the Valkyrie's remaining megaspells into the missile's engine. | |

Sea Monster | |
| Fallout: Equestria - Empty Quiver (Fanfic) / int_b1c7f430 | comment |
Sea Monster: Page 53 reveals rather large one, large enough to punch foot long holes through armoured bulkheads just by casually passing over them, is lurking just off shore. The monster is later revealed to be a kaiju-sized Anglerpony, easily big enough to dwarf most buildings and swallow a pony whole. However, the battle itself is something of a subversion of the usual tropes. While still extremely frantic and terrifying, the monster's size works against it, making several obvious vulnerabilities all the easier to hit and severely slowing its speed. This allows it to be brought down in half a chapter thanks to a sustained barrage from multiple tanks. A much more severe threat later rears its head when a mechanical sea serpent shows up to threaten the HMS Cadence. | |

Aerith and Bob | |
| Fallout: Equestria - Empty Quiver (Fanfic) / int_b9d334b2 | comment |
Aerith and Bob: Inverted here; one of the main group of characters is named Aerith, and that's the closest to a realistic name in the cast currently. There was apparently a pre-war singer going by the name Vera Lynn. | |

Cool Boat | |
| Fallout: Equestria - Empty Quiver (Fanfic) / int_bb01ad0e | comment |
Cool Boat: The Princess-class Heavy Cruiser HMS Cadence. Armed to the gills with anti-air guns and sporting four turrets with two 8-inch guns apiece, it's one hell of a radio station. While not exactly the flashiest of ships, the fishing trawler Trout is upgraded to a gunboat with two autocannons and four Lewis Guns, making it a mild example. | |

Cutting the Knot | |
| Fallout: Equestria - Empty Quiver (Fanfic) / int_c2299d6e | comment |
Cutting the Knot: The group are left facing down a rampaging colony of Anglerponies. The stage is set for a desperate meat-grinder, with the Five outnumbered a hundred to one by creatures who can shrug off direct hits from their heaviest weapons. So, what's the heroes' plan? Demolish an entire building atop the colony rather than risk their lives in a pitch battle. Later on, Aerith and Static infiltrate a pre-war bunker complex to destroy it. In the process, they come across an astonishingly tall vertical shaft cutting clear up the center of the mountain, and are faced with either climbing the single ladder all the way to the top or abandoning the bunker there and finding a different path up to the top. Mercifully, Aerith is an alicorn, which means she has wings, and as such can easily just fly both of them to the top of the shaft. | |

Shout-Out | |
| Fallout: Equestria - Empty Quiver (Fanfic) / int_c75df49a | comment |
Shout-Out: Night Strike is introduced dancing through some ruins and listening to classic music, all while hunting for lost relics. In Vanhoover, some of the group are directed towards an animation studio for scavenging. Said animation studio's name is Studio B. There's also mention of one of the workers at the studio, initials M.A. L., having a copy of the hundredth episode of whatever series they were producing on his personal computing device, and also making such fact widely known to the public at some point before the bombs fell. There are apparently polar bears on the island the HMS Cadence is moored at. Moments before giving one of the leaders of the griffon mercenaries the business end of one of Trout's 37mm autocannons, Night Strike proudly proclaimed three simple words; Bitches. Love. Cannons. Complete with Punctuated! For! Emphasis! and a Dramatic Gun Cock. Loads from the films found at the drive-in theatre, many titles copied verbatim; The Iron Giant, The Rocky Horror Picture Show, The Big Lebowski, When The Wind Blows and Daring Do and the Raiders of the Lost Ark. Most recently, the musicals seen in Maple Creek and Maple Station; Strangelove! The Musical, and Chicacolt. Night Strike's smug description after creating a crossing point for the Mini-tank and wagon; Several of Night Strike's proposed theories for the demise of Stable 117 are identical to the fates that befell Vaults in the Fallout universe, specifically those of Vaults 108 (crazy clones) and 22 (plant ponies). A line uttered by Sharpwing after being asked about the peculiar color of the large amount of fireproof fabric gathered for the construction of the flying machine; Upon arriving at the remains of the Battered-Sea, the group encounters an almost comically small anglerpony with an odd mutation granting it glowing eyes, mirroring the Red Death from Far Harbor. Unlike how the quest involving the Red Death actually concludes, the real monster of the Glowing-Sea crater proves far more dangerous and threatening. While in the planning for the final big battle, a disagreement in the briefing room nearly leads to a brawl. What phrase does Sharpwing use to break it up? While setting up explosives in order to destroy an enemy bunker, Static and Aerith come across an immensely tall vertical concrete shaft dug right out of the mountain's core, with only a paltry ladder for ascending it. Mercifully, Aerith is an alicorn, and can just fly both of them up. While she's doing so, Static remarks about hearing a song playing over the radio at double-speed, with the lyrics regarding something about eating snakes. | |

Non-Action Guy: Static Charge initially starts out as this, carrying no weapons more powerful than a taser and often being helpful in every area besides fighting. As the story goes on though, he shows increasing proficiency with computers, making profit from raiding ruins, and some skill at stealth. This turns him into the closest thing the group has to The Sneaky Guy over time. | |

Night Strike is more overcome by the payment of solid gold bars than learning there's a fourth species of pony on the planet. | |

Tank Goodness | |
| Fallout: Equestria - Empty Quiver (Fanfic) / int_cd809603 | comment |
Tank Goodness: The TOG makes another appearance, still as menacing as it was in the first story. Mad Jack's Churchill AVRE Avery as well, being a near-exact copy of the real one, and keeping the 290mm Spigot Mortar. The rest of the Tank Ghouls' vehicles. Besides Mad Jack's Churchill AVRE, we also have Rangefinder's Sherman Firefly with a dozer blade attachment, Rheinmetall's Porsche Tiger (Panzerbefehlswagen VI (P), the command variant with an extra 100mm of armor on the front), and Sensha's Type 2 Ka-Mi amphibious tank. Adding to this, Caution Tape's up-gunned T-35 land-battleship. Also worth counting is the 4.5-inch caliber self-propelled artillery piece that B Company make their exit in, a rather apparent take on the FV304 - otherwise known to many World of Tanks players as Bert the Avenger. And as of page 88, a group of three tank ghouls from the far-off settlement of Cordite have arrived to the Vanhoover Five's aid, bringing with them their own BT-42. For those not aware, this tank mounts a 4.5-inch howitzer in a turret, effectively the same gun as on the FV304 - and on a chassis that can do 72 kilometers an hour. Page 92 brings in even more, if you can believe it. Among the newly-arrived vehicles is a Crusader Mk III, a British cavalry tank armed with a formidable 6-pounder gun; a SOMUA S35, a French cavalry tank carrying a decent 47mm AT gun; a Nucleana T-8, a fictional light interwar tank mounting a short 50mm AT gun; and a Type 4 Chi-So tracked carrier, which can best be described as an APC truck with tracks instead of wheels. All are vehicles belonging to Cordite as well, along with their crews. | |

Broken Bird | |
| Fallout: Equestria - Empty Quiver (Fanfic) / int_d08595d3 | comment |
Broken Bird: Crash Dive. Her history consists of seeing her entire platoon nuked into oblivion by a Raider's lucky shot, trapped in a lighthouse alone for ten years and gripped by Enclave paranoia into thinking the rest of the wasteland actively hates her. To top this off, she's also addicted to Med-X thanks to the perpetual crippling pain of her wings, both of which were almost torched from her body by a raider. Just before the story starts, she's on the verge of committing suicide. Subverted with Aerith. Despite being captured by slavers and rendered mute, she's one of the most stable and positive members of the group, even cheerfully getting a sugar high from Sparkle Cola upon tasting it. | |

Break Out the Museum Piece | |

Break Out the Museum Piece: The HMS Cadence was apparently made a museum ship before the war; her twin Bofors mounts are removed easily enough to be shipped back to the mainland. In another example, Night Strike's new Cool Sword was retrieved from a museum on the island. And as of page 88, the HMS Cadence as a whole is going to be brought out in full force. It's less breaking out a piece from the museum as it is breaking out the entire museum itself. | |

Angst? What Angst?: Played with. Despite being catapulted to a distant corner of Equestria, it at first seems as if Night Strike and Static Charge couldn't be happier, distracting themselves with acquiring bigger guns or places to loot. Their whole predicament only starts to truly weigh down upon them over the course of the story. | |

Expy: Scouring Charge is a loose one of SAS Sergeant John 'Soap' MacTavish, with a backstory explaining his position in B Company similar to that of Preston Marlowe. Molly Manticore's Pizzeria, complete with creepy animatronics. It doesn't last long. The DJ for Radio KAOS is one of, well, the DJ for Radio KAOS. In a larger example, the Foallands War. Mad Jack is one of Fighting Jack Churchill. Marchie and Norm are Marge and Norm Gunderson, complete with Minnesota Nice accents, don'tcha know. Pearl is somewhat one of Dr. Spara, at least as far as her enthusiasm for experimentation is concerned. Both Sharpwing and Serene Steel are expies of Deryn Sharp and Aleksandar Von Hohenberg, down to Serene owning a diesel-powered Stormwalker expy. One of the three competing teams in the air race consisted of a trio of ponies, one obsessed with POWER and hammers, another known for being slow in the speed department, and one with the nickname 'hamster'. Their team name had the initials TGAF, and they named their eventual competing aircraft the Reliant Robin. What a bunch of petrolheads were doing building aircraft, the world may never know. And, later in the story after a return to the Vanhoover Air Base, the group runs into them again, having abandoned their attempts at flight for a job shuttling the residents around comfortably aboard their Hover-Vans. The Vanhoover Air Base Hover-Van Grand Touring Service has at least been serving well in keeping them occupied nowadays. Later on, the group explores and raids the personal bunker of a pre-war and post-war gunsmith. Beyond the early Fallouts-style door, they find a proper Wall of Weapons, the dead gunsmith's name being a rather familiar-sounding 'Back Gunner'. One has to wonder if he ever had to deal with Graboids. | |

This comes to a head with both Hispano and her father Cora turning up in the Vanhoover Wasteland, albeit both ten years older than they were in Long Haul. | |

Big Damn Heroes | |
| Fallout: Equestria - Empty Quiver (Fanfic) / int_eb81c601 | comment |
Big Damn Heroes: Initially invoked with Crash Dive early on. Subverted later after Night Strike is captured by slavers and a much quieter approach is needed. The doctor in Maple Creek says this verbatim in regards to the five's exploits over the course of the story. More often than not this tends to backfire rather than be played straight. When Night Strike storms what appears to be a pair of slavers torturing Static Charge, she almost ends up killing both of them simply for subjecting him to bad films for their own humour. | |

Goldfish Poop Gang | |
| Fallout: Equestria - Empty Quiver (Fanfic) / int_ecd42310 | comment |
Goldfish Poop Gang: The first griffin mercenaries. Due to a massive case of Always a Bigger Fish they have become more of a running gag than a serious threat. The closest they have come to a victory so far has been immobilising the group's vehicle, after resorting to NUKES. | |

A World Half Full | |
| Fallout: Equestria - Empty Quiver (Fanfic) / int_ef4d8558 | comment |
A World Half Full: While still dangerous, often mutated and filled with raiders, the world featured in the story is recovering. The grass is turning green, there are a few functioning towns and for the most part it seems that there is some gradual move towards rebuilding once more. | |

Great Offscreen War: Having only been spared the worst excesses of Operation: Cauterize, much of the main conflict with the Enclave is mentioned in passing at best. The conflict over the Foalland Islands also fits. | |

Suicidal Overconfidence: Yeah Strikey, just wander off into the heavily irradiated area surrounding a megaspell detonation alone while everyone's asleep, that'll end well. Static understandably chews her out over this after picking her up from just inside the irradiated zone. | |

I Call It "Vera" | |
| Fallout: Equestria - Empty Quiver (Fanfic) / int_faf5732b | comment |
I Call It "Vera": Night Strike's grenade rifle, Thumper. War Crime and Sunburst as well. The Tank Ghouls of Maple Station have given names to their tanks as well; Mad Jack's Churchill AVRE 'Avery'; Rangefinder's Sherman Firefly 'Fyre'; Rheinmetall's Porsche Tiger 'Porschia'; and Caution Tape's T-35 'Deathtrap'. An odd example with Hispano's 20mm autocannon, Suiza; the autocannon originally belonged to her sister, named Suiza. Following a crash-landing into a patch of killing joke with her cannon, they became one in the same. The autocannon wasn't just affectionately named by Hispano in remembrance, it literally is her sister. | |

The War Room: The one at the EQUAD facility back home is mentioned, where it's Big Board used to alert the home wasteland that something's gone horribly, horribly wrong. Later on, ones are seen at the Vanhoover Air Base and Fort Maple as well - in both cases, people have to be reminded that they can't fight in there. | |

Old-School Dogfight: The first proper battle pitting the Valkyrie against the robo-dragons fits this, as it involves at least two of them getting downed by the Valkyrie's twin 40mm autocannons through Night Strike's piloting skills. | |

Survivor Guilt: After narrowly escaping with their lives and retreating to Maple Station following one last attempt at killing the Vanhoover Five, the gryphon mercenaries elect to drown their sorrows at the local bar. The female gryphon even goes so far to grab Night Strike by her jacket and beg for death while completely plastered, much to Night Strike's bewilderment. | |

Shown Their Work | |
| Fallout: Equestria - Empty Quiver (Fanfic) / int_ffad4e9f | comment |
Shown Their Work: The author behind Night Strike is an avid fan of Stuff Blowing Up and the Bomb, and much of the descriptions of explosions are accurate down to the operation of the devices being detonated; a visible fuel dispersion cloud prior to ignition of the Fuel-air bomb, for example, as well as a time delay between detonation and the shockwave reaching the characters. Cellulose Nitrate is similar to gun cotton, a low explosive used in rifle cartridges and tank shells, like Cordite. Cellulose Nitrate film is also extremely flammable, and was a prominent material for movie production prior to the development of safer film materials. Night Strike's description of the operation of a BLEVE is fairly spot-on, including the part where she has no clue how long they've got before it blows. Snapping the breech shut haphazardly on the M79 Grenade Rifle is an easy way to cause a sudden misfire with the weapon, no matter how cool it looks. Static learns this the hard way after wrestling Thumper from a panicked Night Strike. The Krupp K5 railway cannon did form the basis for the M65 Atomic Cannon, the only gun in the US arsenal to conduct a live-fire test of an atomic artillery shell. Thermobaric/fuel-air bombs are exceptionally dangerous when used against confined spaces, such as tunnels, as their blast waves are extended compared to regular explosions and the nature of the weapons mean they burn up the available oxygen quite rapidly. | |
