As It stands, I'm an up to date system in a last generation model. So I'm not functioning at full efficiency. Plus it feels pretty tight in here. 

 

She turned back towards Feeder. "And really, what's there to talk about. You're an extreme pacifists. You do anything to end conflicts before they happen. I'm sompony who takes the first shot and make sure there is no threat. Destroy Equestria's enemies, so that pony kind can survive. This is my home. You are my people. And I do not want to loose you.

"Because not all creatures wish for coexistence or peace. Some want supremacy or security. Some creatures have demonstrated that securing their future, means making sure others don't have one." She began to walk back down the hallway. "Creatures that operate out of their insecurities, out of hatred and fear. Creatures that wanted to be alone on top of the mountain for eternity, but now can't have that knowing you exist? A new race to compete with. A new race to watch out for. A new race that puts their guaranteed place in the universe in question. A race that challenges their very paradigm. How do you reason with beings like that?  Cause I would love to hear your plans of action."

Angel was not happy with what she was hearing. She thought ponies did cruel things before, during the reigns of Sombra & Nightmare. But these were common everyday ponies. And they were the ones who did this? She was now leaning against the corner, till Emerald's request startled her. "Ummmm..." She whispered. She knew only Emerald could hear this.

Emerald tried to keep a hold of him to just be there he needed someone to talk to and it was her. When she heard Angel she turned her head slightly so her right eye was looking at her, she raised her hoof and pointed to the ground, in a 'come here' fashion, she would not let Drone harm her.

Marcus started to go into a philosophical pondering as he walked thinking about the changes that happened since ponies and humans found each other. He thought of the intital hesitation to interact with the other world due to all the what if's. Then the hesitant out reach made by humanity while the ponies were quite eager then the tech trade and the ponies own tech boom over a hundred years ago. He even remembered when humanity learned how to extend the lifespan of humans to almost two hundred years thanks to the tech trade something that the rich and test subjects received himself being one though the first version was risky but raised life span to theoretically five hundred years. Marcus remembered being one of the twenty that out of two hundred volunteers survived the serum before a new version was made that was much safer but only doubled life span and was equally as expensive to receive (Half a million USD).

 

With his new life span he watched as the ponies used magic to progress further and faster and humanity although advancing most scientists refused magic tech due to the effect of magic on humans  having to go about the problems the way humans had for billions of years. Then there were the protests and riots against a lot of advancements from people that wanted to keep humanity 'pure' forcing experiments like the one he was in underground. 

 

Marcus viewed the ponies peace as a long lasting but fragile and fickle ready to shatter upon the smallest of things and during the interactions between the Humanity and Ponies it almost had many times. He knew some more uppity ponies had a holier then thou attitude towards humanity but those were the ones who had not studied Humanities Earth. How humans carved out something out of nothing over many millions of years, how somehow despite some of the bloodies conflicts know to both worlds groups of humans still managed to try and help each other, worked to make the world a better place. Marcus felt sorry for anyone that decided humans were just barbaric bloodthirsty animals bent of self destruction.

 

In his years of service to his country he saw the best and worst that humanity had to offer and it all reminded him why he still served in the military.

"That's a very pony mentality. One that presumes the enemy is rational. Not all we encounter are such. Tell me, how do you treat an enemy that is just as willing to commit atrocities against it's own kind? Slaughter countless others of their kin over trivialities throughout it's history? If an enemy is willing to be that cruel to itself, what is it willing to do to you?

 

And if by shared, you mean the memories Mr.pacifist here stole from me, then no, as that was pretty much my whole life he just viewed. "

​Angel was shaking now, being called out on the spot. She peaked aroudn the corner to see both Mr.Drone, and more improtanly Emerald there, waiting expectantly. She tried to stop. She took a deep breath top steel herself. Then she started walking, rounding the corner she hid behind. One step after the other. The hallway seemed longer then it shoudl have been. Before she knew it, she was standing before the two. Angel had to count on her cybernetics to stop the shaking in her hoof as she raised it before Drone. "Um..Hi?"

Drone looked to her hoof and held his out as well, then he shook hers, he didn't seem mean, nor angry, but there was obviously some sort of tension in between the two, "So...Have you been taking care of the gap I couldn't fill?" He asked with a certain sarcasm that made him seem more like his old self again, the smart-ass, cocky stallion he could be and is.
