Drone glared at him even harder, "The only ​reason I'm not tearing you to pieces right now is because there are ponies I care about, and I don't want them to see me for what I really am. Remember that, you sniveling rodent." he growled out the last part and he looked at Twilight, still angered, he said the next sentence with a cold, harsh voice, like he had been screwed over on the deal of a lifetime or something, "...You were never worthy of being someone who should wear the royal crown. Your a self entitled drama queen that looks down on us as if we were a toy. Which is what you think we are...I've played nice with you since we met again. But now, my filter is off and I got some pretty heavy things to say to you. You underestimate my abilities, ALL OF YOU!...If I wanted, I could blast this shit hole of a city right off the map of Equestria. And if I really wanted it, and I put a little effort in, I could terminate this planet entirely. You think just because I've been civil the past few years I'm not something that should be taken seriously, BUT I WILL FUCKING SHOW YOU I AM NO FUCKING JOKE!!​... I'm fucking tired of acting like something I'm not...It's time for me to let out who I really am...The pony you, Celestia, Luna, Cadence, and everypony at that damned lab feared I would be. A monster." he grit his teeth and made a death stare at Twilight.

 

It seems he'd had finally unraveled the true darkness that resided in him. The being that Twilight feared he would be, a monstrosity that was unstable and capable of ripping worlds in half. He broke his stare with Twilight only to look at Bee, then Emerald and then to Twitch and Shadow, then to Lektra and whoever else was in the room before spitting on the floor and walking past Twilight and Luster, heading to the door, he opened it and closed it like he was calm but as soon as the door closed they all heard him yell profanity without a care. He stopped spewing out curses and he punched the metal door that lead inside the room he was previously in and it made a huge dent with a large crack in the middle of it. He then opened the door slowly and walked in, closing it behind him and taking a deep breath, "Id like to apologize for...uh...well, that whole um... I guess a tantrum. I don't exactly know what got into me....but I'd like to say sorry and I'll try to keep those outbursts to a uh...Minimum." he seemed to be struggling with apologizing, so he shut up entirely and just grit his teeth occasionally glancing at Luster and Twilight with a glare.

[captainborgue 343]

Bee just stared in shock as everypony devolved into screaming children. The thought that these same ponies had advanced weaponry... it was infuriating to think that anyone who was, ostensibly, an adult could act like such a spoiled brat.

 

"Are you bucking kidding me? Did any of you ever have parents? You are all squabbling like children over Nightmare Night candy!" Bee said, practically screaming. "And you think humans are destructive and dangerous? The closest thing to a human here has been trying to talk sense into all of you, as you have all been too busy threatening each other and attacking each other! What an absolute disgrace! I'll have no part of this childish nonsense- clearly, clearly having any kind of power is like a bucking disease: each and every one of you has resorted to the most debased and wretched aspects of ponykind, as though if you make the most noise and leave the biggest holes somehow it means you win! Well, if that's how you want to act, then you're on your own. Those of us who aren't screaming primates flinging technologically devastating feces have better things to do!"

 

With that, Bee's horn glowed teal and a moment later she vanished, recurring back to the safety and sanity of her office. She recalled the teleport enhancer bots, locked the door, and let out a heavy, disgusted sigh.

Drone looked at Shadow and then his claw. He cautiously held out his hoof and shook his claw. He nodded to Shadow and then looked away, "It's not many times I get that angry...I don't know why, but ever since I was frozen, I've just been...well, on edge. And snappy." he sighed and rubbed the back of his neck, "No hard feelings, Shadow. I was just in a uh-well a uh...Kinda in a blind rage. Doesn't happen often for me, so I apologize." he said and looked at the door, "I guess I should try to calm down Bee...She seemed pretty pissed. Hopefully I haven't ruined my chances with her." he said and started towards the door, but stopping as he passed Twilight and Luster, not looking at them as he said, "If you need to see me again...Well, I'm assuming Twilight knows my location at all times...And Luster..." he looks at the metal mare with just his eyes as he finishes his sentence, "Never push me out of the way again, or Shadow won't be the once getting the brunt of my anger. And next time, I'll have all of my armament." he said to her with a slight edge to it, as if warning her ahead of time. He then walked past them and out the door, thinking of where Danger Bee could be. 

 

He blinked as he felt a hunch tell him to go to her office, and thus he did just that. He stopped at the door and sat on his rear end, thinking of what to say before knocking on the door. He was just staring at the barrier in between him and Bee, as if he was in deep thought about something before he finally knocked on the door, "Bee?...Hey, I apologize about what I did and said earlier...I don't know what happened I-I just got caught up in the moment and all I could see was red...I don't normally do that, you know that Bee. I mean...You don't, mostly because we just met like, today...But still, I don't do that often, trust me." he said and awaited a response patiently.

"Well, this has turned out well. I was hoping for diplomacy and all I got a territorial pissing contest." Twilight turned back to Luster. "Perhaps melding human and pony attributes wasn't such a far fetched idea, as just demonstrated, we aren't all that different. You keep talking like ponykind is so much superior. Well did any of that provide proof to the contrary? What was your rationale? Humanity was going on a path of self destruction, and was going to take us ponies with them? Well, maybe it's the humans who need protection. Truth is Luster, at times, we're not much better. For every Stalin & Hitler, we've had a Sombra & Tirek. And yet, for every Cheerilee, Coloratura & Fancy Pants, there's been a Martin Luther King,  a Mahatma Ghandi, & Bill Gates. There is just as great a capacity for cruelty and destruction, as there is for compassion & creation, in both species. 

 

"If you're going to try and save ponykind, then perhaps the answer lies with humanity, rather than the forsaking of it."

"I know you didn't approve. But this was soemthign I needed to do. Yes, my original body had a few more centuries in it, but Equestiria's newest form of life was advancing much faster then predicted. They needed representation and understanding. It was best for Equestria that I set the example. Could anypony argue against peaceful coexistence with machines, when their own princess became one?" 

 

Before Twilight could answer the second question- "Oh please! Don't tell me you actually think this is purple smart?" Luster walked up to the two of them. "It's just an AI. A decently complex one, not as good as me, but still an AI. At best, it's just book horse herself at the controls somewhere back in that goddy tree castle! A soul isn't a tangible force that can be transferred. To quote a infamous egg head, "That's not scientifically possible! You're not scientifically possible!"

Luster gave her an confused look. "You...you can't be serious? Tech that can tap into thaumaturgical forces is one thing. But transferring the essence of one's personality, memories, identity, emotions & thoughts, their spirit & soul, into an electronic medium, when such concepts are merely abstract and intangible to start with, is impractical and impossible!

 

The best you can do is a brain scan and memory duplication through genetic encoding. You'd get an approximation of that individual, but not the individual themselves. The ghost of book-horse is not in this machine!" She said tapping Twi's head, hard.

"I assure you Luster, it is indeed me, the one you love to hate."
 
"Pfft. Prove it!" 
 
"You know what, I think I shall. For everypony & everybot here. Though be warned, the trip might be one that's out of this world."
 
Twi's horn began to glow. Brighter & brighter until it was blinding. And in a flash, the world changed. Every pony and everyone in the room, would feel weightlessness, and what could be best described as an out of body experience.  For they were all in a seemingly endless expanse of swirling blues & lights. 

"Welcome, to the either." 

[Randimaxis 8,652]

The brain scan and soul rip procedure is fairly expensive and not everypony can afford it, either. There is a potion involved and the components are -pretty- hard to acquire, as well as the power cost for the genetic encoding system.

 

Grant felt his spirits falling; the more he heard, the more impossible his impossible mission was beginning to sound.

 

Now there's POTIONS, too?  What the living Hell, man!?  I knew it was gonna be HARD, but... this is starting to look IMPOSSIBLE.  How am I ever gonna get all that stuff together?  Where do I even start LOOKING for it?  How long is it gonna take for me to figure out HOW to build what I have to - not to mention ACTUALLY building it!  And that's if they ever accept my application to begin with!

 

Though Professor Bolt spoke of doing the job for free, Grant was still rather certain that she wouldn't agree to it - that NOPONY would agree to it - if they knew he was human.  After all the talks of how humans were violent, tribal savages, he felt sure that anypony here might have scrapped Twitch... except for Crystal.

 

Twitch's lenses tracked on Crystal for a moment; she'd figured it out rather quickly, and she hadn't told a soul, as far as he knew.  He would have asked her for help with his situation, but even she admitted she was no technophile.  Still, she had sympathy for him, and even seemed to accept his being a human - so far, she had treated him better than anypony else had since he first logged into Twitch's programming when he reached Equus...

 

It would even be accurate to say that she had treated him better than most other humans had.

 

I have no idea how I'm gonna do this, but I promise that if I CAN pull this off, I'll make sure you'll get the thanks you truly deserve from me, Bass... IF I can make this work.

"This is the ethereal realm. Celestia took me here when I first ascended. The reason some of you have changed, is because it reflects who you are on the inside." Twilight glowed white, her shape began to change. When the light faded, standing before them was a shorter lavender allicorn, w/ indigo blue mane & purple/magenta stripes in it. "Shadow, your claws were altered to the way they once were. Your physical ones were replaced, but your spiritual ones can never be taken away." 

 

She turned to Lektra, and looked over at Luster. "It appears that we did. Only a creature with a soul can ask the questions she asks. And have the temper tantrums she has. I mean, if anypony on Earth believed she had a soul, it would've been you." Luster herself was looking different. Instead of how she was in the real world, she was now standing as her imposing Mk.8 self. 

 

She sent a glance over at where Twitch was standing. "Hmm, interesting."

I mean...You don't, mostly because we just met like, today...But still, I don't do that often, trust me." he said and awaited a response patiently.

 

Bee wrested control away from an indignant VLAD before responding. "Oh really?" Bee said, opening the door with her magic and giving Drone a thunderous look. "All that talk before about wanting to avoid a fight at all costs flew out the window pretty quickly, didn't it?" Bee said, angrily. "But, to be fair, you've been through a lot. I get it. I do- after my augmentation, I was angry and bitter for a long time. Getting used to VLAD, coinciding with the peak of my youth, trying to make something of myself when all of a sudden I didn't even know who or what I was anymore. So yeah, I get the rage," Bee said, walking towards Drone.

 

"But here's something I've learned- and it didn't take me centuries, like with all those raving lunatics over there. You can't choose what you start as, but you can choose what you want to be. Luster, Twilight, that weird guy with the freaking scythe, they are all revenants. Every last one of them is a throwback, they don't know how to exist without conflict- they need an enemy to fight, and they will create one if none exist. That level of paranoia, that kind of blind rage, that's how foals act! They think that their pain, their suffering, is all that has ever existed, is the only important thing, and anypony who thinks otherwise is an enemy. We are no longer primitive herd beasts cowering in the darkness from predatory eyes shining out of the black- we are enlightened, civil, intelligent beings. We do not need to make war on anypony, yet Luster, Twilight, and... whatever the buck the little pest's name is. what have they done? They have tried to make enemies among themselves, among an entire world, even among bucking students! There are children in this place, and they walk about with the most destructive weapons to ever exist!" Bee said, incredulous.

 

"Everything they claim makes humanity and Earth itself dangerous, they have demonstrated. I don't believe in coincidences, Drone. There's a reason for it. Why would they choose to emulate all the violent tendencies of humans, instead of teaching humans about the utopia our kind have built here? Why would they integrate human technology and philosophy into Luster? Why build you... why use such deplorable and horrifying methods to make you what you are? what could they possibly gain from it? Our entire history, peace has never been achieved through force. But now, all of a sudden, we can only secure our way of life through extreme violence, directed and enemy and ally alike? It's wrong, Drone. And giving into that same urge is playing right into their hooves," Bee added, worriedly, as she stood in front of him and slowly sat on her haunches.

 

"In the whole of Equestrian history, we have never fought a war. We have never needed to fight a war. And I, for one, will not have any part in it. Ponies do not rule through fear. Ponies do not debase ourselves with torture and violence and death to force everypony to cower before us. And anypony who does resort to such depravity does not deserve to rule. Now, the reason I'm saying all this..." Bee said, quaking, as she stood up and approached him, and stood mere inches away from him, before taking a deep breath to steady her nerves. "You have two sides to you. That's something I am familiar with, sure. But you... you could go either way. I'm drawn to the side that is kind, and clever, and brave... but the other side is cruel and capricious and violent and arrogant. One makes me feel safer than I've ever known, and the other makes me afraid of what it could do, and angry at the same time. I'm not going to live in fear, Drone. I don't want to see that side of you. I don't want to see what they turned you into, I want to see what you have chosen to be," she said, whispering, as she lay her head against him.

 

"I stand by my theory- friendship and love made Equestria into a paradise. I firmly think that they can save us all, even Luster, even Earth. Hate and fear will only ruin it. I choose friendship and love. Which will you choose?" Bee said, shaking, afraid of the answer.

 

VLAD had been quiet this whole time, spending its considerable resources trying to solve the puzzle at hoof. Friendship and love... there really was only one solution that presented itself, and all the data irrevocably pointed to it. There were no possible candidates to mate with Luster at present. One would have to be built- and it would need Terran traits as well, since Luster was built from Terran traits. VLAD knew of only one being with experience in building complicated, Terran influenced designs- and that was Twitch.

 

While Bee was talking, VLAD had been busy communicating which the school's Registrar server, scouring for the few specific traits it had seen firsthoof. Apparently, the only thing missing was endorsement by faculty. VLAD, noticing that Bee was still on a bit of a rant, sent an endorsement approval to the server's processing algorithm. It shouldn't take more than a day for the automated update to list him as a student. and there was contact information, as well...

Grant's eyes FLEW open as he realized the implications of what Twilight had said, and he looked down at himself in panic; the LAST thing Grant wanted everypony to see was not that he was human, but how he LOOKED...

 

The form was HUMAN - his heart sank - but, wait...  what was..?

 

He was kind of short, but thin and lanky, and there was wiry muscle that belied a hidden strength there.  He had long and nimble fingers, and what his sister always called 'monkey-toes'.  His face was long and lean, and his skin was clear and smooth, completely clean-shaven.

 

However, there was also a bright blue light that seemed to pulse in his eye sockets, and lines like circuitry rolling from the tips of his fingers down to his bony-sharp elbows.  In small patches on his skin, like a dappled coat on a pony, there were little groupings of what appeared to be glowing blue circuitboards.

 

To top ALL of this off, he was wearing sandals, cargo shorts, and a bright blue Led Zeppelin t-shirt, a naked angel reaching for the sky on the front.

 

For the first time, the ponies gathered heard Grant Edison House speak, and it was a soft tenor voice with rich undertones.

 

"... F... U... D... G... E."

 

Looking up, he cast a look to each and every pony present, then slowly lifted a hand... and waved sheepishly.

He didn't have to worry about hiding it anymore.

 

It was finally out; now, for better or worse, they knew what he was.  It felt... liberating, in a way.  No longer a burden on his mind, he could breathe a little easier with one less thing to worry about, at least as far as this group went.  He didn't know who would yell at him, who would speak to him... and who would possibly attack him.

"I've heard a LOT about humans from everypony here, Your Majesty; and I'm not so naive to think that it isn't true - I DO believe Luster, wholeheartedly, that there were humans intent on harming Equestria.  But I also believe that humanity was scared; not so much about ponies, as what was capable from someone other than ourselves."

 

"I think people just shuffled back into their corner of the galaxy and hoped THEY wouldn't be attacked; the rate of technological progression was astounding... and terrifying to humanity.  Back then, anyway.  So yes, fringe elements were bound to pop up, and the ones with some sort of pull would have tried to do something... but other people, the RIGHT people, would have done everything they could to stop them."

"I'm NOT excusing what was done; I'm trying to explain that those terrible few are not accurate representations of humanity as a whole."

"Which is why I have a LOT of proving to do... and every victory I earn will be tainted in other ponies' eyes if I'm just handed a scholarship.  As much as it means to me that you accept me enough to offer such, I have to prove humanity is more than a bunch of primitive hoarders... and that means I have to WORK for that respect."
