That's my title, thank you very much.

/Oh look, another Program.

[Hyperhooves 872]

That story was very interesting.

[Gatekeeper Giggle 2,902]

 

 

Okay, but seriously, what's wrong with it?

Nano: well, that's just it, isn't it? From my end, everything about the building looks perfect. Too perfect. Something is almost certainly going on, but they've hidden their tracks well. I wouldn't go in there if I were you.    

[Galen Selanno 351]

/Oh look, another Program.

'Scuse me? I am a user!

[~~~~~~~~~~ 1,174]

/Nano- Which makes me want to check it out even more. Too late to stop me now, I'm already going!

/Anon- Yes Anon, a program can be a user too.

*Disconnects wired connection (but still keeps comms open) and flies towards the labs.

[Gatekeeper Giggle 2,902]

Dr. Warp watched the robot from deep within his fortress of SCIENCE! patiently waiting for it to make its way inside the building. 

[~~~~~~~~~~ 1,174]

*A.I. swiftly swoops from the skies towards the entrance and sends several bursts of sonic energy into the doors*

[Gatekeeper Giggle 2,902]

The doors shatter into shards of glass, although the rest of building is undamaged. Screams of panic come from the inside of the building.

*proceeds to fly at top speed towards what appears to be the nucleus of the building.*

(I can only imagine people's reactions to seeing this thread in this state. Kek )

"Not so fast!" 

 

A.I. didn't get more the a few feet beyond the entrance before he was grabbed by a mare In a tour guide uniform. 

 

"Just what do you think you're doing scaring these pour children!?"

 

Several foals huddled behind a statue of Dr. Warp smiling broadly as he gave medicine to a sick child. All about the room were exhibits detailing Dr. Warp's accomplishments and humanitarian work.

 

"Well!?" the tour guide demanded. "What do you have to say for yourself!?"

[~~~~~~~~~~ 1,174]

"What do I have to say for myself?

One word:

Wub"

*At that instant, a low, but loud distinctive humming sound began to rumble from A.I. as he faded from view and from the guides grasp. He had turned every single molecule in his body into a supercharged tuning fork. Every molecule had begun to move so fast that they disappeared from sight as well as generate an incredible amount of heat and sound.*

The foals behind the statue and the tour guide began to shriek in pain and agony. 

 

"Stop it! You're hurting them! You monster!" 

[~~~~~~~~~~ 1,174]

Oh you think I should stop? Fine, as you wish.

*Stops*

*Leans close to the guide*

But if I were you, I'd run. I'd run faaaaaar away. You don't want to be here when I'm done.

*Saunters towards the center room... again.*

Faster then greased lightning, an incorporeal tentacle erupts from the tour guide and reaches inside of A.I. cutting off his motor controls. The ghostly tentacle then carefully picks up the helpless robot. None of the foals seem the least bit surprised at this turn of events.

 

"Serves you right for hurting the children!" chastened the tour guide "I'm taking you to Dr. Warp. He'll know what to do with you. Come along children."

 

The foals followed behind the tour guide, as they made their way into the center of the complex. The tour guide pointed out different things along the way, conducting the tour as if nothing were wrong. Eventually they made their way to the center of the lab, which was a strange mix of a throne room and a scientific lab. Dr. Warp sat in his throne, and next to him the mayor lounged on ghostly tentacles of his own. The tour guide dumped A.I. onto the floor in front of the throne.

 

"Please reactivate his voice module, but keep his motor controls offline. I'm sure our guest has a few questions."

[~~~~~~~~~~ 1,174]

Oh haha, I find it funny that you didn't even come to me, but instead provided me with transportation as well as some help removing some of the scrap metal from in my neck. Erm, ONE of my necks, but nevermind that.

Let's get back to business! Ask away!

[Gatekeeper Giggle 2,902]

Dr. Warp smiled down at the robot on the floor. 

 

"Me, ask you questions? Hilarious! Now I believe this is the part where I tell you my whole evil plan, yes? Go ahead, ask what ever question pops into your mind!"

[~~~~~~~~~~ 1,174]

I was sure you had some questions for me as well but okay, your loss.

So what's up with the tentacles? Do you have a THING for them or what?

[Gatekeeper Giggle 2,902]

Dr. Warp laughed.

 

"My, now that is a long story! You see, about two years ago I made a horrible discovery. Strange extra dimensional beings had somehow possessed a large potion of the city's population. They acted like parasites, controlling the ponies' every movement. Of course, I did my best to try and separate the parasites from their hosts, but to no avail. If I tried to harm the parasite the host was harmed as well, the bond between the two was too strong to sever. But with the power of SCIENCE!, I outsmarted the alien parasites. I switched around the bond, and now the host controls the parasite! The puppet controls the master!"

 

Suddenly, Dr. Warp's smile became a frown.

 

"And then you came along. For some reason the sonic waves you give off harm the parasites greatly, and in turn harm their hosts. Your very existence is slowly killing half the population of the entire city. What am I to do with you?"  

[~~~~~~~~~~ 1,174]

"Well you could destroy me, but that would just end up badly for everyone. Yes that includes you too.

I mean, I could solve your little problem. Buck, I could make it beneficial. However from what I've seen you do so far, I'm not too sure if I should join you."

Edited October 26, 2014 by A.I. Pony

[Gatekeeper Giggle 2,902]

I don't want to destroy you. But I won't let you kill these innocent people either. If you have a solution, I'm all ears.

[~~~~~~~~~~ 1,174]

Well I have two simple questions to ask you first.

First, why did you go ahead and try to cover up the parasite incident?

[Gatekeeper Giggle 2,902]

"I"m afraid your going to have to as the mayor that question. The secrecy was his Idea." 

 

A.I. turned to look expectantly at the mayor. 

 

"Well uh, I didn't want to panic the citizens, of course!" The Mayor nervously replied. "and ponies don't vote ponies infected by a monster back into office."

[~~~~~~~~~~ 1,174]

"And second, do you think that ponies would panic were they to find out that there are ponies that are infected with something that makes them physically superior in every way? Or, more importantly, would YOU panic if this were released to the public?"

Edited October 26, 2014 by A.I. Pony

[Gatekeeper Giggle 2,902]

Absolutely. Why wouldn't they? And even if they didn't they would always treat the infected ponies with a measure of suspicion and fear. These infected ponies deserve a normal life free from such things.
