Berch sees Flamestreak, exit the pod he was in, and then see the blood coming from his head and rushes over to him, "Well I like your style, but I don't think it fits you, and welcome back to the land of the living, it's been two years apparently.", Berch says with a halfway grin, and starts looking around his head for cuts "Alright I'm gonna try to treat your wound, cause we haven't seen the doctors and sorry if it seems like I'm hurting more than helping but you don't want glass in your head, cause I did punch through a window once and that screwed me up big time for months cause I didn't bother with removing the glass shards." , Berch cleans up the shards he can see then looks to the others and says "Any of you got cloth I need something to cover his wound."

"Dude, candy pizza is amazing! Muffin crust with chocolate and caramel toppings? Plus you can add as many candy toppings you want. I love getting something soft and nugetty on mine. I experimented at home, but it didnt turn out all that great. I mean, I could have added more caramel, and less....cheese. Dont look at my funny now, cheese and chocolate go well together; believe it or not."

Dakota was distracted by his own rambling so much, that he forgot about the terminal with the logs in it.
"Was i doing something?"

"Thank you for your help but I should be fine, I just need to lay down for a bit. I'm Flamestreak by the way." He said having trouble getting to his hooves. "Two years huh? That's a mighty long time, The pay for this better be worth it, Where are the ponies in charge of this anyway?" Flame asked

@,

"Lets not be too hasty. I dont want to lose my bits if they are just monitoring us....hmm...maybe the logs in the terminal will tell us more."

Dakota returns to the terminal and clicks on the second entry.

So far so good. The subjects are staying frozen with no damage to vital organs. We had better hurry our research...word got in about an attack from those morons to the east. Apparently they are offended at our way of life. They tried to destroy a small town just a few clicks from Canterlot. Luckily, we had protection. I dont know what the future has in store, but we better not take any chances. If this continues, we may need to keep these ponies frozen longer. 

Dakota scrolls down and keeps reading out loud.

So Quantum from the neurology department warned us that a few participants might not make it. He said if they do make it, their brains might be damaged. Some might even have personality changes or become hostile. He claims it happened to a pony they were testing an immunity potion on. And here I thought we were the inhumane ones. Nevertheless, he was right. Time to take drastic measures and hope for the best. Pray to Luna the two sister's dont catch us.

"What...the..buck?"

Alright, so the attacks are growing more frequent. The two sisters dont seem to be worried about the devastation being caused by those from the east. Some forensic investigator found traces of irradiated chemicals near the attack sites. What the deuce are they planning? We managed to counteract any cell degradation with some amino acids and steroids.  We also lessened the shock the ponies will feel when they wake up. Although, I cant guarantee WE will be safe. Some of these ponies appear to be hot heads. Maybe we can get some cute mares and stallions to wake them up. They wouldnt dream of hitting them...right?

Dakota turns to the others and shakes his head.

"So... We have a war that has happened whilst we were in cryo sleep... We were asleep for longer than two years... Meaning that if my calculation are correct we're not getting two of our promised objects. Hot guys and cash... Shame really... I was looking forward to that..."

[Catsle 604]

"I don't think I wanted 1 of the 2 options anyways, but none the less I wonder what happened to my business, if it been more than 2 years and a war, how did it turn out, where is everyone?" Berch says looking around at the rust on the cryochambers and dust on the floor.

@,

Dakota looks at Alex and gulps as he goes back to the logs.
"So lets see... entry three....hmmm:
Buck it all to Tartarus! I knew those idiots in the east would try something brazen! One of their attack forces tried to overthrow the two princesses by inciting a coup d'etat! Luckily the royal guards saw through their ill thought out disguises. One got away and sent word to his commander or something cause now we have a blaring siren echoing saying to prepare for attacks. Why now? Why do it when we are so close to completing the experiment?! I just hope this gets settled soon.

Welp, that went bad to worse real fast. One of our guards launched a pre-emptive strike on the enemy and now we are in full blown war mode. They already threatened to launch some sort of magic missile that not even the most powerful of alicorn can stop. In other news, we pushed back the date to let the ponies thaw. No sense letting them into a war, who knows they may even call of the war and have peace.

Ok its utter pandemonium out there. They launched their missile and nothing can stop it. We projected the casualties to be well over the thousands. Some royal scientist is being called in to see if they can shut down the bomb or at least change its course. So far, the frozen ponies are doing well. No loss in major organ tissues.

This is the last time we can make a log. Its over. The royal scientist bucked up. The missle is going to hit the center of Equestria. Meaning both sides are going to be doomed. Why did this happen? Well, we arent letting our time go wasted. If i calculated things correctly in two hundred years, the surface will be habitable. The two princesses are gone...not dead, they just took to the skies and we havent seen them since yesterday. We think they went to the moon. Oh no...the bomb touched down....i.....

Woah, did not expect the castle to take most of the damage. Although, the area is pretty messed up. We lost our roof and others lost houses. Shoot, even some roads are wiped out. 

What is this sick feeling i have? I feel warm, cold nauseous and hungry at the same time. Is it a cold?

So the missle left some radiation behind.  Further testing shows that its slowly killing or changing us. We heard reports of a giant rat wandering around. How is that even possible? Someone mess up a magic spell or something? Either way, it seems we are all doomed. Those ponies in the chambers will be the only ones left. Good thing there are mares in there too.

Good news for us! It seems only half of the entire population was affected by the missle. The rest were in lead and magic based shelters. Hopefully when they come out they can sort through the mess. 

We had to put down a scientist today. He seemed to become insane by all this pressure and stress. He wasnt even speaking clearly....just growls and snarls.

Shoot, my skin is peeling off at an alarming rate. My mane is also falling out. I think its due to the radiation. Darn, i wasted two hundred bits on premium lotions...wonder if I can take them back?

Last....log...I cant go on. Everyone in the lab is dead or abandoned the project. They say they dont want to see the look on the ponies faces when they see what we did to the world. Whoever is reading this....be warned. Equestria isnt what it used to be. There factions...a big divide...monsters...no law except in a few cities. The Royal Guard is the main law of the land, but they are a bit....well..they dont have a leader and no one to report to so its like they made up their own government. If you are one of the frozen ponies....there are no bits. Only bottlecaps. I took the liberty of grabbing some leather and metal armour. Who knew we would devolve into barbarians? I also grabbed some weapons....just the standard pistol and spears...good luck."

Dakota steps back and shakes his head.
"This is a joke right? Are we being pranked? C'mon, wheres the ponies who jump out and say 'Gotcha'?" Dakota looks around, almost going insane with the thought of the end of the world he knew,

[Catsle 604]

"The end of the world as we know it, why, just why?" Berch says shaking his head at what he just heard "200 years, 200 years." Berch just sits on the ground repeating the words. "The end of world, 200 years, after the world end, why, why?" Berch nows just crouchs up in place.

[Mentis Soliloquy 3,026]

Alex had dropped her object upon hearing, the end of the world bit. "end of the world sweet Celestial why?" to no one in particular, she continued to speak out loud. "My brother,... dad...m...om", her head almost hit the floor, she did not care then proceeded to cry. "How could Luna and Celestia let this happen!?" She became filled with rage, stood up and walked over to her pod, then proceeded to annihilate with magical shots until there was almost nothing apart from a the base of the machine.

@,

Dakota jumps up with suprise and looks at Alex.
"Woah woah woah, calm down for a few. Maybe it's not so bad?" Dakota said, instantly regretting what he said.
"Erm, let me just check the last log....maybe it'll help us."


Dakota trots to the computer once more and opens up the last log:
Hmmm...
these pre war machines are still running. Thats amazing. Looks like the ponies before were conducting an experiment with cryogenics. Unfortunate for them that they have to wake up with the world destroyed. Well, at least there are still ponies alive to start a new with. Though, they are all in factions. Like the Children of the Night. Operates at night and is full of Luna supporters. So far they havent gotten in a fight with the Celestial Sprites. Though, they are gonna need each others help if Discord's Acolytes cause anymore trouble. Then theres the other factions who either want the whole world destroyed or the whole world fixed. Good luck to the latter. War....well, war never changes...

Its me again...the scientist who abandoned the project. Im now referred to as a ghoul. half my skin is gone, as for my mane. My intelligence has suffered to. Found it rather difficult reading the numbers and what not on the charts. I suppose if anyponies alive in these frozen tubes i better give them the option to leave. With the help of a passing medic, I programmed an over-ride switch in this very computer. Just solve the following equation and press enter....just messing with you. Just go over to the door and therr should be a console. You need to hack into it though, or enter the password COOKIE. 
 Oh,  when your out. find a settlement called Cadance's rest. They will help you out a bunch. Now, I need to tend to the ponies in the capital. DONT COME LOOKING FOR ME.

Dakota turns off the computer and sighs. 
"Maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaan, i just want to sleep or eat and forget this ever happened."

Riley couldn't really be bothered "eh... I didn't like the old world much anyway... To peaceful " she was rummaging through the lockers in the room looking for anything really. "Nice jacket. Might take... Oh not my size... Why was everything made for either the small or large? No pony thought about the mare in the middle."

Redshell trotted to an old box with his name on the label "come on please let it be in here" he dug through the crap. "Damnit, all that is in here is sparkle-cola caps" his eyes start to glow his voice turned cold and low "I'm getting out of here" he turned to the door firing up his horn. Shooting a spell completely destroying itand what he was faced with was a pile of rubble blocking the doorway "celestia dammit"
