Drone sighed softly as he looked down, "Y-You might be right...I might just be paranoid..." He said and looked to Angel," Well, Not really. She is the commanding officer. And you and I are V.I.P. I presume." he said and kept walking with the two, his armor beeping twice, signaling it was low on batteries. He wasn't normally paranoid, nor did he ever get angry and loose his composure, Emerald knew this about him, so she obviously noticed his adverse behavior. It was just a matter of time till he snapped again, and if so, and this issue isn't confronted, the consequences may be more severe than imaginable.

"Please come with my daughter. You've made the trip anyway. Might as well meet her creator."

 

Luster's sensors registered a distinct lack of both sound and movement behind her. She Turned her head 180 to look. "Hey. Where's scrap iron?" She said in reference to Twitch. 

[Randimaxis 8,652]

As Twitch simply stood there, his face wound into a look of worry, Grant was sweating bullets in his lumpy bed.

 

Oh, man... oh, man - this is bad.

 

If I panic and force my way out, they'll see what I've been hiding... but I'll be out, no doubt.  They'll likely hunt me to the ends of Equus... at least until I keel over, that is.  Then, Twitch'll REALLY be a museum piece.  IF he isn't blown to bits first, that is - can't forget how the guards here might handle something like that, after seeing how they handled Luster.

 

I could turn around and go back to the Magitek lab... and the jig would be completely up.  Magitek's capable of stuff human beings can't even touch, let alone effectively defend against; it won't take much to put two and two together to make four - the Neural Network will be a dead giveaway that Twitch is being controlled elsewhere, and the NASA antenna?  That SCREAMS Earth.  Combine that with what I've already admitted to anypony else... I'm sunk.  They'll find the human... and that'll be the end of my chances of ever being accepted and integrating into pony society.

 

Twitch stepped back from the door and gave it a puzzled look; then the rings spun his features into a more pondering position, as he considered who-knew-what for a moment.

 

One way damns me to exile; the other damns me to discovery.  How the Hell am I supposed to get through this without being discovered and scrapped?  

 

I've seen how they treat EACH OTHER; disdain for authority from the youth, kindly yet distant interest from the Professors, living technology that seems incredible - yet knocks down doors like they're made of Legos in it's bid to leave, the guards who treat their charges either like a hassle or a child... if this is an example of what the rest of it's like, then this is NOT the Equestria I had heard it was supposed to be.

 

Supposedly, humans don't have a pony's kind of mindset - and that made the ponies - particularly the unicorns - better, they said... but in the end, they're showing to be no different than human beings.  And they think humans are slow, uncaring, violent and entitled; why can't they see how much they're becoming just like they claim we are?

 

A disappointed frown slid into place on Twitch's muzzle.

 

I was hoping to see the friendship I'd heard all about... and Crystal is a shining example of that.  But shouldn't that be the norm here, not the exception?  After all I've been through on my own homeworld, I'd be hard-pressed to say there's very much friendship left on Earth; the killings, the lootings, the lawsuits, the takeovers, the cold shoulder that people tend to give each other nowadays - there's no room here left for hope.  No room for magic; not with sales to make and stuff to take - or that's how it seems to be.

 

I wanted to transfer into Equestria BECAUSE I'd heard so much about how ponies actually gave a damn about each other, how they did whatever they could to keep the Harmony alive.  How they were so kind here... not like Earth's cold streets and even colder people.  I'd wanted to spend the rest of my life here, being able to be myself without being laughed at.  To smile and actually have it returned.  To not have to worry if my neighbor is considering killing me just for the nifty shit I have.  To actually feel... welcome.

 

Aside from Crystal, Captain Bolt and Professor Bee... I've felt about as wanted here as a filthy beggar at a fancy dinner party.

 

The bot regarded the message again, then hung his head for a moment.

 

Well... I can at least pony up, and face my fate with some semblance of dignity.  

 

Twitch turned and, with a soft and tinny-sounding sigh, headed back down the corridor, toward what Grant thought would be his inevitable doom...

When the school evacuated Marcus being the dutiful guard and solider he was he escort helped the students out, this time in the android's pony form with the exception of the occasional ass that thought they were special he ran into no trouble. Marcus asked another guard what was going on and the guard told him that there was some sort of threat in the building. With the lack of detail and orders Marcus could do nothing further though he had a few ideas about what the 'threat' was.

Drone watched Angel turn and leave, He then looked at Emerald as he started to really think about what she said, he turned around and started walking for the door, but he stopped in his tracks as a question screamed in his ears, fearing the question, but fearing the answer even more, he asked, " Em...W-What do you think...What do you think they...did...to me...I-I can't even sense when I'm about snap...I-If it's as bad as you say...M-Msybe the best thing for me to do is...Is..."he took a long pause as he thought about his next words, tears welling in his eyes, "...Stay...frozen..." he turned around without letting her finish and started slowly walking to the door, each step becoming harder and harder as pain crippled his heart, Fear and sadness clouding his mind. The only thing he could think about is...What if he did snap again, What if-What if he just, like exploded? What if he killed somepony he loved? O-Or...Worse... What if...What...if.

Drone cracked a soft smile as he chuckled softly, "I haven't had ice cream in five years, hell, I was a Sentinel pop for all five years. But, eh, what the hell, yeah I'll have some." He looked down as he tried to regain his composure. He smiled slightly as he thought about the times he had before he was frosted, "Hm...Hey, wanna know something funny? When I first met Em, I could tell something was between us. I-I mean, not just romantic. But, you know, deeper...deeper than what I normally had...

"Oh yeah. I totally get you." She then walked over to him and slid open a screen on her wrist. "Wanna see how Me and Em met?"  She began playing a video. 

 

Emerald sighed before opening her mouth and a pair of snow white fangs grew from a pair of what seemed unimportant teeth, she then continued. "if you come here and have a look they are real and the teeth in my mouth are sharp not like a regular ponies."

 

*tink* Angel looked back up. The tip of her hoof was now on Emeralds fang. She touched one. She was actually touching a real vampire fang. Attached to a real living vampire! Slowly, Angel began to drag her hoof over the pearly white dagger. "So smooth..." She thought to herself. When her hoof reached the bottom, she lifted it back up and started over from the top, gently stroking Emeralds fangs. A strangely calm, almost therapeutic sensation began to wash over angel as she petted the vampire's fangs.

"Angel. Hey Angel!" "Huh?" Angelscape said with a half dreamy look on her face. "I think you could make good use of this right about now." She thew the small object in her hoof at Angelscape. Angel had to break away contact for that split second to catch whatever was being tossed her way. Unrolling her wrist joint, she looked at it. It was a mini-tooth brush, with a dab of crystallized toothpaste built into the center of the bristles. She slowly turned towards Tomcat. "You are a genius."

While the argument was going down, Angel began brushing Emerald's fangs. Not exactly vigorously like most would brush their teeth. More so like one would do brushing the hair of a cherished doll. Slow, gentle strokes. She was enjoying this more than she really should. She was soon back into her zone.

Emerald's fags were actually a rather sensitive part of her body, she closed her eyes, trusting this random pony for some reason not to hurt her, her rear right hoof tapped the floor in a gid-ish manner she made a strange noise akin to maybe a purring but nothing sounding like one, just a sense of one.

This was the first time that anyone had done this to her and she was caught in the moment, her ear twitched now and then as Angle brushed her fangs,  her hoof kept tapping as she went, this was such a weird experience for her but she was totally enjoying herself and had no care what she looked like to others.

Emerald's teeth went nuts with signals of pleasure into her brain, her rear legs gave out and she fell on her backside. She saw nothing and heard nothing it was just her and Angelscape in a room together she was in a state of bliss and was going to kiss Angle after this, but that would come later.

  

"You said it's been a while since you last fed." Angel lifted her hoof towards the tip of Emerald's fang. Then as quick as a flash, she pulled back.   Angel felt the sting. She looked down. A paper thing cut on her hoof. She shut the brush off. Withdrew it for a moment. A moment she used to dab the brush head, in her own blood. A collective 'whoa' echoed through the crowd. Those up front began to back away a bit. "Allow me to indulge you." She set the bloody brush back onto her fang and flipped the power back on.

Emerald could not take anymore she raised her hoof to Angles and caught her eyes as she looked at her she lowered the brush and her hoof and Angle's, she spoke for a moment in a soft voice. "That was wonderful but I can't take anymore..." with that she kissed Angle with force both of them falling to the floor Emerald's armor clanking in places as both of them fell to the floor.

"Wow! 500,000 hits already! Just when exactly was this thing uploaded again. And who was film-" She caught the name of the uploader. "Why am I not surprised?"

Drone watched the video and started thinking deeply, he took her hoof and stared at the screen, replaying the video twice before letting her hoof go. He smiled slightly and took a deep breath, true, inside he was boiling, but, for some reason, seeing Emerald happy, seeing she made connections with somepony else... it made him happy. Truly happy. He looked at Angel in the eyes and said with the most honest, and caring voice he could muster, "Angel, I thank you. I thank you for, well, Taking care of Emerald. Our time together was...short... And, I don't think I could have found a better...better match for her, than you. You seem genuine...Kind...You and Emerald are similar in ways, some ways you remind me of elements of her. And somehow...Myself...Not just because of your cybernetics, either. Listen, Angel, I think we got off on the wrong hoof... I don't know what they did to me to make me this...unstable... But, I want to make it up to you. I judged you before I even heard your voice. And I offer my greatest apologies, and I'd like us to start from scratch." He smiled at her, he was starting to feel a little like himself again, " So, my name is Sentinel Drone... I'm over 85 years old, I have a cybernetic spine infused with a type of highly advanced armor, and I'm a professor here...or was, I do hope I can work here again. Anyway, I just wanted to say that. I got some more back ground info for you when we get to your place... Come on, you can tell me on the way there."
