Angel picked up Emeralds hoof. "Tag."  she thwacked it with her own. She crouched down onto the bed, coiled down like a cat. And then, sprung upwards, catching the cross bar. She swung her hips forward and grabbed the bar with her hindlegs. Using her free forehooves, she grabbed her tail and started twisting it. When it was condensed enough, she slung it over the bar and began to loop and tie it to the bar. "That should do it." She then let go of the bar. *snag!* "Owwwch! Spine!" She grimaced as the pain traveled from her tailbone up her back. "Well, looks like that conditioner really does work after all." she said as she hung upside down in front of Emerald.

"It might sound weird, but someone gave it to me broken, and every time I go somewhere, someone would fix a part of it until it was almost done, then I hooked it to my machine. So it's one of a kind."

He opened the bag's strap to show the lens. He said as he closed it up,

"The machine sends out an undetectable signal that interacts with anything that's alive. It gets data from the interaction of the creature, then is sent to my strap. The data is usually medical stuff, and rarely it catches thoughts and personal things, but I'm trying to get that fixed. So far, I was able to put the personal stuff in a different folder."

Twitch stayed in place watching as Professor CD opened the case.  

 

No telling what's in there... something that dates THAT far back has GOT to be something good... unless it's someone's idea of a 'time capsule', and all we'll find in there are late 2000's compact disks, maybe letters, perhaps even some pictures?  Then again, maybe it's some kind of treasure, and it'll be some kind of new museum-worthy piece?

 

Grant chuckled to himself.

 

And maybe it's a fossilized lunchbox; no telling 'til it's time, I suppose...

 

He waited patiently for the reveal; whatever it was, Grant hoped it wouldn't be commonplace.

Bee sat in her office after the lecture, half-assedly checking assignments from other courses as they came into her email inbox. "LECTURE WENT WELL, YES?" VLAD said, piping up. Bee hadn't even noticed that he'd been quiet- the entire lecture had passed without even a hint of interference. Bee stopped what she was doing and sat upright. "VLAD... what have you been up to?"

 

"VLAD WAS USING IDLE TIME TO PROCESS SCANNED DATA FROM TERRAN CONSTRUCT. AND... GLEANING TRAFFIC FROM UNIVERSITY WIFI," VLAD said, sounding almost sheepish.

 

Bee rolled her eyes. "And why, pray tell, would you surreptitiously- and illegally- monitor internet traffic?"

 

VLAD paused- as in, Bee felt his processes actually stop for a moment. "VLAD HAS... MISGIVINGS. SCAN RESULTS SHOW POTENTIALLY HOSTILE TECH, CAMPUS AI SHOWING LACK OF CONTROL OVER STUDENT BODY AND NAIVE JUDGMENT OF UNKNOWN ENTITY. ALL SIGNS POINT TO EARLY STAGE RAMPANCY. RAMPANT CONSTRUCT IN POSITION OF AUTHORITY OVER DEVELOPING CONSTRUCTS HAS POTENTIAL FOR DISASTER."

 

Bee nodded solemnly. She'd been feeling apprehensive ever since the quad- seeing a crowd of students nearly become a riotous mob with encouragement from staff was very sobering, and a rampant AI would certainly explain a lot. Unfortunately, Bee was not in a position to do anything about it- at least not yet, not until she knew more. And collecting data would be nearly impossible without calling attention to herself. Which meant she would have to keep playing along, and rely on VLAD to glean whatever gobbets of info the student body carelessly flung into the ether. "AMAZING WHAT THEY WILL PUT ONLINE. RAMPANT AI COULD DO TERRIBLE THINGS WITH THIS."

 

Bee shuddered as a cold chill ran up her spine, through her spinal implants, back into her organic central nervous system, and made the hairs on the back of her neck stand on end- the few she still had, at any rate. "VLAD... what if it's intentional? What if THAT was the reason for today's shocking display of administration's utter failure? To encourage the students to let loose, as it were, and thus provide a data mining motherlode? If a rampant AI- or worse, a Rogue AI- were manipulating events to that end, what better way to do it?"

 

"VLAD DOES NOT THINK TWITCHY ROBOT IS MASTERMIND. IS COINCIDENCE MAYBE, IS HIDING TRUE INTENTION, BUT IS NOT LIKELY TO BE CULPRIT."

 

"Wait, but I didn't-"

 

"WAS REASONABLE ANALYSIS OF DATA. INCORRECT, BUT REASONABLE. VLAD CAN TELL WHEN ORGANIC IS THINKING. OH, AND IS NEARLY TIME FOR NEXT LECTURE. OR WILL BE, AFTER LEVEL FOUR DIAGNOSTIC IS COMPLETE."

 

"Really? A level four? Is that really necessary?" Bee asked, a little rattled. VLAD was on his A game today, and Bee was slipping up at every turn. Maybe a level four diagnostic was a good idea after-

 

And the moment she thought it, her cybernetic eye powered down and her body went slack as VLAD interpreted her thought pattern as approval and began running diagnostics. As a construct, VLAD didn't 'hope' to find- or not to find- anything, but his subroutines were already calculating how to respond if any malware was detected... or worse, if a rampant or rogue AI was discovered.

A thrum could be heard throughout the room. Several lights began to flicker on the dashboard. An orange light on the lock box began to dimly light.  The eyes of all three researchers were  on the set of screens in front of the console that peered into the testing chamber. Footage of an Equine like shape laying motionless in the center.

The entire internal dialogue too less than a second. A pair of glowing amber iris's slowly came on. The black Equinoid lifted her head. She blinked a few times, showing she had complex facial movement. She began to look around in the large, featureless metal room she was in. Then she began to stand up. She stood as tall as Princess Luna, and had a physical build to match. A set of layered plates ruffled themselves on her sides. They appeared to be folded wings. She lifted a hoof stroke the grooved metal protrusion from her forehead. Her horn. Long straight golden sheet metal formed formed her mane & tail. A copper & silver streak adorned both. She moved each of her leg joints individually, feeling them out. She spotted what appeared to be  a door. She proceeded to make her way towards it. As she moved, an insignia on her flank became visible. A white starburst inside of a golden cog.

 

She finally reached the door.  She tapped on it three times. She proceeded to wonder the perimeter. Staring at and anaylizing the walls. Tapping them every so often. 
 
"Pretty thick stuff. Though if they thought me a danger, Id've been scrapped already." 
 
Seeking remote connection. One connection found. 
 
She began to listen in, but heard nothing. 
 
"Let's try this the old fashioned way." She held a hoof to her muzzle and coughed into it, appearing to clear her throat. Vocal sounds did come out. "Hello out there. Can anyone hear me? Is there anyone or anypony there?" It said in a more cyberized & metallic voice than most bots would posses. The pitch was also a little deeper, like it was artificially done to an existing voice." 
 
For some reason though, to those listening in, her voice sounded vaguely familiar.

Grant was shellshocked; it was an AI... and apparently one of rather high caliber.  Twitch gave a look back at Bass, then his plates twisted into an excited smile.

 

"An AI this advanced was inside that box?  Wow... uhm, hello there?  OOP!"  Twitch covered his mouth with a hoof.  "Sorry!  This is your project, not my... I'll just, uhm... yeah..."

 

Besides, the mic probably isn't even on yet, you dink.

 

Inwardly chastising himself, Grant settled for waiting to see what was going to happen next; he wanted to talk to... well, whoever it was... but this was supposed to be a Science Lab, where the scientists were in charge.  He couldn't help some of his enthusiasm... but he could probably stand to let the ones who were SUPPOSED to be here do what they did.

"yeah, that's what we were thinking this whole time." CD said as she looked at the screen.  "We managed to peer inside and see who was in there, but we had no way of communicating with her. She became aware once we looked inside and she started asking questions. We looked to find a compatible chassis.  And oh boy did we look. Even the oldest models from the start of the Technomagical revolution were incompatible. Those models are 50 years old by the way. So we started scanning ware houses, storage containers, wholesale lots, anything with old Equestrian tech. Just imagine our surprise when we found that."  

 

The onyx colored Alicorn bot was still looking around the chamber."A design like that is on par with models from within the last decade. Yet she is far older than what she seems.  Finding her would be like humans finding a secret hanger owned by the Wright brothers, and inside of it lay an SR-71. That model in there, predates first contact by a decade. Predates the technomagical revolution by 40 years! The entire history of Equinoid kind and a crucial chapter of Equestria is being written before our very eyes Everypony, bot and whatever the hay you are Twitch."
