A/N: Well here comes ch8. Merry Christmas my friends!

Chapter 8

. Twilight and GLaDOS had started off with a quick conversation to get to know each other's peoples. GLaDOS had asked Twilight about Equetria's history and how have things progressed. Suprisingly to GLaDOS, Ponies have much adapted from human culture which they called 'The Ancients'.

"So GLaDOS, can you tell me about human history and how you came to be?" Twilight asked. And so GLaDOS told her everything about human history. From the ancient times before Christ, medieval times, Industrialization, human warfare (which by the looks on Twilight's face was horrifying) the 1700s to early 1900s where technology progressed immensely. She also told her about the creation of Aperture Science and their rival Black Mesa while leaving the classified information out. When she got to the details of both World Wars, GLaDOS could see evidence of sickness and queasiness in Twilight's face. She continued to the progesses of Aperture and the world and when the scientist 'accidently'(not really) got neurotoxin poison.

"...And so when I was out of humans that Blue and Orange found, I discovered that Black Mesa had caused a Renosance Cascade," GLaDOS said.

"Whats a Renosance Cascade?" Twilight asked.

GLaDOS responded", It is an apoctalyptic event in where portals were opened to another world of hostile aliens. These Xen aliens would come to invade the world. The humans fought back with everything they had but were loosing. As they continued to loose, the remains of the human race decided to use a weapon outlawed since World War 2. A weapon that could turn huge cities in to barren waste lands withing seconds."

"And...what was this weapon?" Twilight asked unsure and afraid.

"It was the weapon I spoke of at the end of World War 2. It was called the nuclear bomb. Through out the years the nukes were modified to be more powerful and deadlier than before. After finally pushing back the Xen aliens, the world was so infested with radiation that living habits were unhabitable. Back underground here at Aperture, my drones picked up the decisions to go nuclear and I knew that it would cause havoc to my facility so I sent out Greg the turret to stand by and wait for a calmer day while I put the entire facility into a deep lockdown mode. As time progressed, nuclear radiation was so concentrated new elements were forming. The energy your magic is made up of is called element-260. Changeling magic is much different for it is element-268. Both are similar but have different properties. Fortunately as the nuclear radiation subsided making the lands habitable once again, the remaining magic energy and radiation caused a rapid evolution into your species. Humans for one took millions of years to get to where THEY got. And I can see by the looks on your face that this is hard to believe."GLaDOS said.

"I know what the definitions of elements are but I'm not even sure about the terms of radiation and all that," Twilight said.

"Well there is the theory of all matter on a path to decay into energy but don't worry about that. Aperture Science took care of that many years ago."GLaDOS said ", Its just that some elements turn into energy much faster than others like the artificial ones the humans attempted at creating. Now tell me. How good is pony knowledge in the atom?"

"Well we do know that it is the building block of all matter and that there is a positive center with a negative area around it."Twilight said proudly.

. GLaDOS sighed at this ", You really do need my help. Thousands of years of sentient thinking and your race has not advanced very much. But I guess I can't blame you due to your race's reliance on magic and other traits."

"Wait so does this mean your agreeing to join Equestria in a friendly alliance?" Twilight asked in hope.

"Well I've been thinking to myself,"GLaDOS said ", Maybe its time to start asscociating Aperture with the rest of the world. Even as the humans have passed on to another world, there are now many oppurtunities to things I was unable to do in the past. So I thought, why not? I'll join them. On one condition."

"Um... what might that be," Twilight asked.

"Oh nothing much. Just the recognization of being a separate nation and the right to keep secrets because I can tell once Aperture is announced to your world, many other nations would want the secrets we contain. Which is also fortunate that we exist in one of the most dangerous forests considered by your kind,"GLaDOS said.

"Don't worry I'm sure Celestia could help you with that. But anyways this is great! I'll tell the Princesses immediately!"Twilight exclaimed.

Meanwhile somewhere other deep underground...

. The two scientists and guard were on a moving panel platform moving on to the next room. No one could argue that this facility was more advanced than all of Equestria combined. Even the architectual designs were amazing. They've seen things ranging from fast monitors to atomic theory. The fact that they were led by an artificial intelligence amazed them. The purple eyed core was just like another living breathing pony. Ability to feel emotions and live.

" And as we near our tour's end I have a couple other things to show you," Morality said.

. As they come to the next catwalk, they were greeted by other cores on rails only that these had different eye color and designs.

"Oi! Hello there! Are you the new blokes that are here to explore?" The blue one asked in a strange accent.

"Explore?" said the green one in another strange accent", You mean adventure?"

"Um. Hello I'm Dr. Budson with my two assistants here and ..."

"Wheatley I'm giving them the limited tour of the innovations," said Morality.

The one precieved as Wheatley spoke", Oh right yeah. pretty nice. yeah...You know I never thought that equines would gain sentience."

"Never mind that!"The green one said ", So you little horses ready for some real action? Adventure awaits in my Adventure..."

"No!,"Morality interrupted ", That thing is not safe to use! Especially for ponies that AREN'T bipedal! In fact, what are you two doing here? Don't you know I'm busy?"

"Darn. I really hope I can see the surface! Haven't seen it in such a long time!" The green core said.

. Meanwhile as all this was happening Captain Bedrock was out of emotions to show. "So much knowledge..."he said

"I know my friend. I know," Budson said as he put a hoof around his neck.

. As the other cores moved away Morality turned back and looked at the three ponies. "Huh. I guess I should stop here. Any more and you'll be over thinking it."Morality said.

"Will we get to come back and see more?" Budson asked.

"Hmmm. I'm not sure but tell you what. I'll see what I can do. GLaDOS would've really liked you if you were one of us. Like her, we're all in it for the science,"Morality said.

. Morality went over to a room and the ponies followed. She opened a portal on a portal wall. "Well I hope I see you guys again soon,"she said as they walked through.

. The four ponies met up with Twilight again in the lobby where they walked out the entrance discussing what happened. Twilight with her success and the scientist with what they saw. Bedrock assured his guards that they were okay.

"Sir. Are you alright?"asked one guard noticing the look on their captain's face.

"I'm fine. Its just that you never get to see so much in one's life," He responded.

. meanwhile back in the main AI control center GLaDOS was sorting through objectives. Satellites- fully functional. Panels and crushers - 94% of all are fixed and running. Scouter drones - 86% of all of Earth's information is ready. Then GLaDOS came up to something that got her thinking.

Commence complete military defense preparations? Y/N?

. The facility DID have many turrets but bullets were only good for so many situations. 'Better safe that sorry as they used to say,' GLaDOS thought to herself as she chose yes. She knew that many nations would declare violence in order to aquire Aperture secrets.

. As she chose that an alert popped up in her head.

"!Warning! Drones have discovered an abandoned Nuclear Lab underneath Pony area known as The Crystal Empire! Power surge after reactivating facility has reached Lab. Chances of nuclear melt down at 46% and increasing! Certain disaster will happen in approximately three days!

. GLaDOS thought over this for a nanosecond. She would have to do something about this. Another atomic explosion would definetly not be favorable.

To Be Continued...
