Grant's eyes grew wide behind the visor.

 

This is EXACTLY what I've been looking for!  How in the world did I manage to stumble across something that almost directly relates to what I'm looking for?  Oh, I have GOT to handle this carefully...

 

Twitch turned to face Professor CD.

 

"Amazing... uhm, she said something about brain-scans, right?  Does that mean she knows the information I'm looking for?"

 

The part about HUMAN brain scans doesn't have to be out in the open.

 

"She doesn't really LOOK like she wants to fight... and isn't it kinda... y'know, rude to just leave her in there alone?  I mean, she isn't armed, is she?"

She turned to her compatriots.  Tomcat had a mouth full of fries that she was pouring ketchup on top of. Daffidaisy was chewing on the glass that held her shake.

@@Randimaxis, 

"Probably not. She's an amalgamation of brain scans. And I by scan, I mean copies of. She isn't several minds merged into one. She's the clones of them combined. She probably shares some personality quirks & behavioral patterns, but things like memory and experience are absent. She's making those on her own. If we performed the same procedure on you, then your bot would have your personality, but not your memories. It would effectively be your twin, if said twin had anterior grade amnesia."

 

"And leaving her in there is a natter of procedure. We have to see if she is healthy in all respects. Mechanically, systematically, socially, psychologically. Think of it this way Twitch: would you release someone who's been in a coma for years out into the open upon awakening?"

 

"As to whether she's armed or not, no she isn't. But there's plenty of evidence to suggest she was. Riffled barrels & magazine holsters for machine guns. Reinforced silos for micro missiles. Some chambers we're unsure of what they held. Numerous spots on her chassis with scraped away paint, sheared off bolts and laser cuts, which would suggest she had an extra set of armor on. Whomever boxed her away, made sure to disarm her. Though with that much weaponry, makes me wonder what the joint Equestrian/Terran team were trying to build."

"A pleasure to meet you, Indicus- I'd shake your hoof, but I'm afraid that isn't possible at this juncture. You deserve a reward for dealing with that.... you know, I can't even think of a word that adequately describes how utterly appalling it was. And to see faculty encouraging this sort of mindless self indulgence... ugh. In any case, I appreciated your efforts today, even if the others did not," Bee said, trying not to scowl.

 

"This sort of thing isn't typical here. At least, it didn't used to be. Things have seemed to... degrade somewhat," Bee added. "I suspect there is a cause for it, either in some kind of malware or early stage rampancy. Hence the self scans- have to make sure I'm not affected. Which reminds me... I'm sure you've seen more suspicious activity than I have. If there is some kind of bug going around, then droids and cyber-enhanced students will be susceptible and may be acting out. Given that staff seems to be either oblivious, willfully ignorant, or apathetic to unusual student behavior, I see no point in alerting them to anything out of the ordinary that happens. I myself have been keeping a log of sorts, recording weird stuff that happens and trying to see if there's  pattern. So if you've got any weirdnesses to add, I'd be happy to put them down. I mean, record them. Maybe it will help figure out what the hay is happening," Bee said, her hologram self pacing back and forth on her desk while her actual body did little more than breathe.

 

 

 

Marcus nodded, "Thank you ma'am I was just doing what I was hired to do, even if it was over something as stupid as two ponies being way too damn affectionate in public hope those two got a room by now I don't know if I could afford the power drain of another long term jammer or low power emp blast haven't used either enough to tell too well. As for oddity's I have seen nothing too odd so far excluding the tooth thing earlier but I will tell you if that changes ma'am."

Emerald Eased her off then smiled at her, "I'll think you'll like this..." With that she was gone in the blink of an eye, Emerald's voice came from the room but Angel could not see her at all or tell where the voice was coming from. "I've waited years for you Angel, but you rejected me now with this I will pay to back for rejecting me." As Angel looked around the room for Emerald she could swear she was no where but in the extreme side of her vision, just out of sight.

"Hmm? Wait what?" Angel was now blinking, checking if she was seeing things right, looking around, dumbfounded.  Heck, she was now flicking her ears to check if she was hearing right. She extended her scouter to get scans of the area, hoping something would come up.  "Did I hear that right? Rejected? If she was trying to scare me, she could've picked something better."

 

"Yet now she's gone. Just like that. Is it really a trick she's pulling. "Or perhaps..." A more horrifying thought entered Angels mind. "Wait. Wait wait wait.  Appears out of the blue. The mare of my dreams. Fulfills my every desire. What are really the odds fo that happening?"  

 

A look of wide eyed disbelief crossed her features, as she looked at the blood on the bed, and then the blood on herself. She was connecting the dots. "She was never there to begin with..."  

 

She held her head in her hooves. "I've gone crazy... this was all in my head..."

"Of course none of it was real. Ultra sexy vampire goddess just waltzing onto campus." Angel got off the bed and began walking out fo the room. "Letting me brush her tee-what sane pony would want that anyways!? Of course I would fantasize about something like that." She started making her way to the kitchen.  "Wanted to befriend those lonely creatures of the night, yet knowing I was all alone to begin with. Just like now. Of course I'd make a marefriend up. I've got nopony else to love!" She said as she opened the fridge. "Not anymore. They all bucking hate me and moved over to that other Earth! Living with Cadenza and her technophobes." She grabbed a bottle of Sweet Apple hard cider and cracked it open.  " 'Oh quit this vampire nonsense!  Stop wearing so much black! You'll never find a good stallion with interests like that! Stop reading those tech magazines!  You'll become infertile if you get cybernetics!' bah!" She took a long swig of the cider. 

 

Her ear flickered at the whispers and the laughter. "Feh, even my imagination is laughing at how pathetic I am. Things were going so well, but then some safety mechanism or something kicked in to remind me what actually counts as real. Madness is kicking in. Life can't be satisfying on it's own! I have to invent a marefriend to convince myself that I made it in life, that I made the right call despite how much it frickin sucked." Another swig, before slamming the bottle down. "I can't have nice things, can I? Me & my own little world filled filled with bloodsuckers. But every sense anchoring me to reality says that's wrong now. It's wrong now.." She let out a long sigh as she buried her head in her hooves.

Who or whatever you are, were, some amalgamation of my darkest desires.  You're too good to be true. Good things like you just don't happen to ponies. They just don't! I should've known something was up. That I was just dreaming. That I never really got over... everything!" She stared sliding the bottle back and fourth a little in her wrist. "All that blood is probably mine. Trying to imagine what I love, all the while mutilating myself. I'm probably bleeding all over the place right now and just blocking out the pain. The girls are gonna freak when they find me. If I live anyways." She started tapping the bottle against the counter.

Blood doesn't taste like that! It isn't that good." *sigh* She layed her head back down. "Like every other good thing I've had in life..." Her armored hoof clenched at the bottle. "I had friends, they shunned me. I had family, they ridiculed me. I had parents and they bucking left me.  I had a vampire marefriend and reality said 'No, buck that!' "

 

*Crash!* The bottle shattered in her grip. "I always had to loose it all.." She said though clinched teeth. She backed away from the counter, not caring about the dripping cider off the counter, nor the stool she just knocked over. She just walked towards the living room, where she sat on the floor, and leaned her back against the edge of the couch, her expression melancholic.

As each techie spoke, Grant took in the information and tried to think it over.

 

Looking back toward Crystal, he asked, "Why would you have a bad feeling about her?  I mean, we really don't even KNOW her yet... though, I have to admit the evidence doesn't look too favorable.  Still, though - we shouldn't be too quick to judge; maybe she was created for some kind of defense purposes?  A guardian between the two worlds, maybe?"

 

His faceplates whirled into a kind smile.

 

"I'm not putting what you're saying directly out-of-hoof, Bass; I'm just saying we should consider how WE would feel after being asleep for so long, then being locked in a little room like that, is all.  Just trying to be... well, considerate to her, I guess."

 

That, and also trying to open an avenue of communication that might help me out in the long run... plus, Past-Futuro-Bot - how can that NOT be awesome?

 

"Maybe ask her if she's comfy, or if she wants to actually see somepony face to face, or maybe if she just wants to know what the world is like now?  Shouldn't she get at least something to work with?"

"Miss Luster, you said all that data was converted to binary. Are you running on a binary system?"

 

"Pfft! Of course not! That is so dated. I run on quantum computing."

 

"Alright, alright. I din't want to make any presumptions. Um, when we brought in your chassis, we noticed areas that looked like weaponry at one point. Were you at one time armed?"

 

"Yes. Yes I was." "And why were you armed out of curiosity?" "Because I wanted to be." "I was going to act in the defense of threats towards both worlds. Terrorists invading Equestria. Tarturus spawn invading the Terran realm. Y'know?" 

 

 

CD stepped away. "Quantum computing. So she's not even a magitech construct. She is functioning based purely on mechanical ingenuity. Something that advanced, and not a single ounce of thaumaturgy was involved. Amazing!

His visor went off, he checked the data, it said that it was coming from Angel, embrex's friend, but then it disappeared, he shrugged his shoulders, and headed on his way to the library, When he got there, he grabbed a few books off the shelves and piled them on a table. After a few minutes, he slumped into a book and fell asleep.

More than a few moments than should be comfortable, blinking every now and then, cocking her head to the side.
