So, in comparison to other ponies like, say, the Mane 6, how big is Murky? Through the story, though it excellently conveys that he's small, gives me a hard time picturing exactly how tall he is. Is he filly/colt sized?

Half way between a foal and a mare from the show. He is somewhat shorter but he’s mostly just skinny. Of course the show’s style is a little more restrictive in sizes than things in written word. In general he is a very small pony mostly due to his low weight more than anything. Height wise, he would definitely be noticably shorter than Rarity or Twi yet still clearly not a foal.

Quick sketch i was asked to do.
So during the FOE IRC I let slip that I had a cute weakness for scarf sharing pictures. (They’re just adorable!) and Hidden Fortune of Fallout Equestria: Treasure Hunting overheard it.
Cue Lucid being asked on the spot by her to do this. Now I am squeeing and I don’t know when I’ll stop.
Finally, side bar links!
The very kind Mortikie gave me a hand in getting side bar links for Ask the Slaves and the MN7 hub alike at last coded in properly!
Phew!
Thank you! Now I can properly credit Mech for his awesome work and actually have a link back to the story on it!

Loved the latest chapter, absolutely awesome! But, just one (or two) questions. Roughly, how old is Chainlink Shackles, I mean (if memory serves correctly) he claims he is still in his "prime" while Hoof wrestling Brimmstone (however many chapters ago that was.) but, Stern is, as you said, is younger then Shackles. So how hold are they both?
Thanks for checking it out! Glad you enjoyed it.
Shackles is in his 50’s right now. Right at the top end of his prime before (for most people) it would begin to fade down. Stern isn’t a character I designed for the story so I can’t say for certain, but FOE heavily hints her to be a mature female with a long bit of experience. I’d say she’s anywhere from 30’s to 40’s if I had to guess.
Do you ever hang out in any irc rooms?

Yup! I occasionally hang out in the FOE IRC channel found through the Fallout Equestria Resource.
Teehee, you didn't answer the question~

Be well.
Murky was born with tainted lung and his exposure to radiation and God knows what else has worsened his condition. He seems to heal alright and isn't immunocompromised. Given that he doesn't drink much water, my question is what color his pee is?

Hello, 4chan.
I wouldn’t say he heals that well, left to anything other than Weathervane’s careful hooves he doesn’t have much resistance to ongoing medical problems. Even a few chapters after his injuries in 17 into chapter 20, he’s still dramatically slower and weaker than before. You’ll be seeing this continue for at least chapter 21 as well in some ways.
As a note to people, just for those who don’t know, writing has been on hold for the last few days due to ongoing wisdom tooth problems. It’s not easy to write when you’re spending most of your day feeling like someone’s driving an industrial file into your tooth lining. However Chapter 21 is 8 pages in and it’s been planned out to the end, as has 22. So we are still making slow progress.
That and Ask the Slaves will definitely be continuing in the meantime. There’s a few smaller updates and one other bigger one in the pipeline right now. So there will be content for sure!

Timeline question guy again. Thank you for the answer. Considering how quickly things advance through your story, I don't think you could fudge the timeline tie in unless you padded it out with something like "Murk! You have been asleep for a week!" If I remember correctly, the first few chapters didn't even break the 24 hour mark, and it was all reasonable and believable. Looking forward to the next few chapters, take all the time you need to make them excellent.

All I can say is I’ve done some extensive timing work. Trust me. Wink wink!
Fuzzy! Hows the writing going! I just recently got all caught up, and I think we're all waiting for news with baited breath.

It’s being worked on. A little bump in the schedule due to the fact I’m writing in wisdom tooth pain at the moment but I’ve got about 8 pages done of the next chapter. As I said there will be a bit of a wait for 21 as I wanna make sure 21,22 and 23 roll as one complete finale arc!
I hope you guys trust me by now even with delays, I will get there.

I'm curious, is the story of Murky going to fit perfectly in with the time frame of the main story? The most accurate timeline I can find for the original FoE puts Pip's escape from Filly and the fall of Red Eye at about 29 days apart. I'm wondering if the amount of days that pass in MN7 is going to coincide with this.

The original’s timeline is pretty loose, but in general it will fix to it as best can be. MN7 deliberately plays loose with day and night in rather inconsistent ratios. It’s tough to tell in Filly. It’s like a naturally gaslighting place.
