Many months before
"Hello there, fellow scientists!" beamed a happy stallion's voice from a large screen. Ponies from far and wide gathered to this 'important Equestrian gathering' due to its somewhat mandatory sounding urgency. No-pony knew exactly why Celestia shoved this meeting down every throat world-wide, and this certainly didn't make it obvious. Who was this strange voice to say that all the ponies in the room are scientists? Rainbow dash had no idea, but if Twilight pleaded for her and the other mane six to come along, then by her element of loyalty she'd listen.
"I bet you're all just plain excited to get started with testing! Or, simply, we're trying to persuade you to do so…probably the latter, but hey who doesn't like a good lecture!" faces flicked around and screwed up with slight confusion or plain annoyance at the word 'lecture'…and some were quite sure they heard the mystery voice mumble "I sure as hell don't" under his breath.
"*ahem* Welp, whether you're just here for the free popcorn or to actually give two tails about our future, there are no complimentary snacks…so sorry to disappoint! Allow me to introduce myself, I'm Cave Johnson, president of Equestria Science. Eeyup, I own the place. I would like to tell you this message is pre-recorded, so any references I may make will most likely be out dated…"
Rainbow dash's eyelids started to flicker. Whatever he was saying, jokes or just old gibberish, went too fast-paced for her 'just rolled out off the cloud' tiredness. However, the others tried paying close attention, and Dash tried her best to, too.
"That eager voice you may have just heard back there is the lovely Caroline, my assistant. She's the back bone of this facility, pretty as a post card too. Sorry fellas, she's married…TO SCIENCE. And rest assured all you will be too once you see all we have to offer here as gratitude for being a test subject. I'm sure some of it will pay off for the radiation poisoning as well…"
More and more mumbling droned through the blue pegasus' ears, till finally Cave's voice stopped with a "you'll be there because we want the best, and you are it. So who's ready to make some science?!" And will a startle a whole array of ponies started cheering. This was quite shocking, for the bits of the speech she heard didn't sound all that...well…inspiring.
The slides containing this obviously old sell-out video to some cheap science company sputtered and nearly caught flame at the end, once again being mostly spikes fault. As the projector turned off and the screen slid up a familiarly tall, ravishing Celestia trotted to a podium on the stage just in front of where the video was playing.
"Fillies and gentle colts, I am sure you are all wondering why I was so urgent in my summoning for this particular reason. Rest assured, I have important ties with Equestria Science, and I would be more that grateful if my subjects were as well. Not only was Cave Johnson a good friend of mine, but I have seen the amount of progress in our society being done with his work. Although he may not be around now, I greatly encourage you to go and apply in helping science, and continue his legacy. Only those you participate will truly be seen as heroes in my eye."
Ponies in lab coats passed out slips of paper with a typed address on it, voices talking amongst themselves deciding how to take in this. All the mane six glanced at each other, and before any of the others could get in a word, Twilight spoke up.
"Guys…let's do it."
Oh no she deeddaaaannnttt! xD Ok, I feel like the worst mod/writer ever for lying about updating this over the summer…I really wanted to, just sudden writers block came over me as to what should happen next…I mean, I know what's going to happen, but I couldn't piece it together with where I was! Sorry! *bad poker face* I'm now not gonna say when I update…cause I have no idea…my bad guys! Thanks for reading though! Westy out PEACE!
