Chapter 2

Sometime in the afternoon in the ponyville library...

PrincessTwilight Sparkle was just sitting on her bed reading another ancient history book titled 'Civilizations of the Past and what they Left for Us Today'. It was a book written by scientist theorizing and analyzing the past far before any Equestrian life came to exist. Far beyond the immortal Two princesses of the sun and moon. Not much evidence was provided through these books for the past civilizations, Equestrian scientist have been able to gather enough evidence leading up to a period of mass destruction leading up to the extinction of these civilizations. Twilight was currently reading up on artifacts and technology found preserved underground that helped Equestria modernize from the reverse engineering of these devices. It started from basic house and carriage designs to light bulbs and oven stoves. other technology has been found but the book said that these more advanced artifacts trouble scientists because they cannot even begin to understand how it works. Twilight was currently reading up on the origins of how ancient tech was able to advance computer technology by centuries in the matter of decades.

A/N: just saying, for those of you people getting any ideas, Equestrian technology is still the same as in the show though I just added some things like computer science to the scientists, etc.

"huh" she though out loud," I wonder what that apple symbol means" For she was currently looking at a picture of a recovered apple mac laptop until she heard 8 consecutive loud knocks on her door and they sounded urgent.'Bam bam bam bam...!' "Hold on I'm coming!" she yelled.

She galloped downstairs and used her magic to open the door. "oh hi Fluttershy" she said

"oh hi Twilight I um... have a friend that needs your help."

"Is it one of your animal friends?"Twilight asked. "Yes but I don't really know anything about it so maybe you could help me with your vast knowledge."

"Um ok. so um. whats wrong with him..um...her...I mean it... Uh what gender is it?"She asked

"oh I actually don't know but this one is really strange. I tried nursing it back to health but all I could do was polish and clean it's hard shell"

"Well bring it in Fluttershy, I'll see what I can do."

"Umm... Okay...",Fluttershy slowly replied.

She turned around and carried the turret into the room and set it on the ground. "Hello!" it said excitedly in it's childish voice.

Twilight was amazed at such creature. she had never seen anything like it before. It seemed inorganic yet alive. The 'outer shell' seemed to be made of a strange white metallic alloy. She could see evidence of corrosive damage. Fluttershy had certainly done a good job cleaning its shell but there were still cracks and dents present to show its age. "Hello," she responded to the egg-like creature.", may I ask who and what are you?" The turret's eye swirled at her and responded" I am the Aperture Science special unit scouting turret! can you fix me?" Twilight didn't know how to respond."I...Um...I'm sorry but I've never seen anything like you before. I have no knowledge of your biology. Sorry I can't help you." "OHhhh." the turret sadly replied. "But maybe the scientist of Canterlot can help you!" She quickly responded. "Yay!"the turret screamed in hope. "Thank you Twilight. Anyways, is it ok if you...um...take him of my hands for now? I need to go back to the cottage to check on Angel and everyone else.(A/N: Yes I am using the term 'everyone' instead of 'everypony' because she is referring to her animal friends. Anyways, just a heads up that I might forget alot of times to use the pony version terms and use regular terms instead. Just a warning. please correct me if I do.)

"Thank you Twilight. Good bye!"

"Bye Fluttershy! Take care!"

"Spike!" Twilight called."yeah Twilight?" the young dragon replied as he came running down the stairs. "Woah! what is that thing!" he motioned to the turret. "I'll tell you later. But first I need you to send a letter to the princess."

1 hour later...

Princess Celestia arrived in a chariot with the royal guards and soon Twilight and the turret were on their way to Canterlot's head science and medical lab."Don't worry friend we'll find a way to fix you," Twilight assured the turret. "I have a friend?" the turret asked in suprise and wonder. "Of course. We all here are your friends," Celestia told the turret. The turret was feeling strange on the inside, and it was a good warm feeling. Upon their arrival, ponies with a stretcher immediately came. They soon carted the turret off to the labs for immediate examination. 30 minutes later and Twilight and Celestia were outside discussing maters. "Did Fluttershy tell you where she found the creature?" the princess asked. "No, but the turret did mention Fluttershy mentioning it being found in the Everfree forest. Its amazing how something so vulnerable survived in there!"Twilight exclaimed." And not only that, it said that Fluttershy said that she found it in the uncharted areas."

Then a gaurd came and whispered something into Celestia's ear. "Twilight my faithful student, it seems the scientists require our presense in the castle."

"What could possibly be that serious that they would need us in private?" Twilight asked as Celestia teleported them away.

In the walls of the castle...

Princess Celestia, Princess Luna, and Princess Twilight were in a hearing with the scientist who were doing a live examination on the turret.

"Now Princess Twilight, we were able to stabalize your friend and remove any debris and harmful materials from inside but it still remains immobile," informed the Head Scientist Budson.

"Do not worry, I am sure thou has done everything in thy power to help." Luna stated.

"Anyways,"continued Budson.", the amazing that your not going to believe is, is that it isn't organic!"

Collective gasps were heard from the princesses with the exception of Luna for not knowing the term 'organic'. She gave a confused look at Celestia who quickly whispered into her ear. Luna then also stared in disbelief.

"What do you mean?" asked Twilight.

The Budson. motioned for the other scientist to bring in the turret and set it down on the floor.

Then he continued",What I mean is that this creature is not normal. It is living technology. Artificialy created Intelligence which our scientists can only dream of creating the smallest of. Whats even more bizarre is that we studied the structure and detail and we can't even begin to estimate how old this thing is. It might even be older than the formation of Equetria!"

This slightly offended Celestia and Luna. How could something so small and vulnerable be older than they where.

Then Luna piped up and asked", has thou tried to ask how old it is?"

The scientists gave each other looks and the H.S. said ", umm... we actualy never tried that. but we know it can speak after it thanked us so why not?"

He turned to the turret and asked", Turret, how old are you?"

"I'm sorry but my Internal clock is broken and everytime I think about it it hurts." it whined.

As if to prove it's point, the turret gave a sudden spark causing nearby scientists to jump.

"Well that was a disapointment," The Budson. said", but there is a possibility that it was built by the Ancients."

If the three princesses weren't already paying attention, this captured their attention even more.

"The turret says that it came from a race called the 'humans' but doesn't know much else."

'Now where have I heard that term before?' Twilight thought to herself.

"Anyways, this technology could revolutionize Equetria! We just need to study it and mabye take it a part a bit..."

"NOOoooOOooO!" He was interrupted by the turret

Everypony turned to look at it.

"Noonononononononono!"the turret yelled.

"Budson! you can't simply take apart a living object!" scolded Celestia

"Thats not what I meant! I simply meant looking inside it without tampering with anything and replicating and reverse engineering it." He exclaimed

"Nonononono!"exclaimed the turret as it's two arms popped out from it's sides causing everyone to jump back in alarm. "Come on now turret. please calm down now,"pleaded Budson while slowly trotting foward. But instead of listening, a barrels popped out of each arm while the turret exclaimed"Fire-arms fully functional and unjammed! Shotgun mode chosen! Self-defense protocols initiated!" "That can't be good," said Celestia.

!BANG!
