A/N: As most of you probably know by now, the high school finals are over. What most of you probably don't know is that I am going through a whole shit load of depression. Not that I expect anyone to care but I'm just saying that to throw out the fact of how painstaking and bullsh*t high school can be at times. For those of you who also have to deal with a shit load of stress and have to live through shitty teachers because they can't get fired, I feel yah. Well on with the story.
Chapter 10
. GLaDOS was hanging from the ceiling reading a pony paleontologist book with mechanical arms extended from the floor. Apparently ponies had thought of humans as an ancient wise civilization that reached something of a 'total enlightenment' and moved on to the stars to live after the Earth had failed to provide them with life anymore.
"Heh heh," GLaDOS laughed to herself out loud. These ponies were certainly amusing. At least they got part of history correct. 'Wise humans? As if!' GLaDOS thought to herself. Though she was still very confused as how so much human culture had survived. Of course much differences were present like the ALL vegetarian diets which also meant that they would never have to worry about cannibalism.
. GLaDOS kept flipping through the pages slowly. She may be a being of pure intellect but that didn't change the fact the she too was once human. Which meant that although she had the ability to read through entire libraries in less than a nanosecond, she still enjoyed slowly reading through a book at a normal pace. Surprisingly most of the other cores also tended to read slowly too. Probably due to boredom but there were the scientist cores who still 'insta-read' information when needed.
. GLaDOS came across a page that caught her yellow eye. A page about 'Mysterious cubical dish devices said to have been used by the Ancients'. The page images portrayed a broken satellite in poor condition with Pony excavationist and scientists standing around it facing the camera. Luckily the Aperture satellites were immediately called back with teleportation technology thanks to the works of Dell Conagher. She would have to relaunch the satellites soon to boost connections and worldwide information.
. Not that the scanners in Enrichment Center itself weren't long ranged but the 'Dish Devices' as the ponies called them would provide even better and more accurate results. It would improve connections with the scouter drones.
. GLaDOS was about to start the satellite initiation plans when her systems alerted her to lifeforms in front of the Facility knocking at the door. She turned on the cameras and saw Twilight Sparkle and another pony with mint coat and cyan mane with a harp for a 'cutie mark' as they called it.
"Well hello ambassador. What brings you here?" GLaDOS asked in the speakers. She could she the mint pony jump and search around frantically for where the voice was coming from.
. Twilight blushed and responded ", Oh I'm not THAT much of an ambassador. I've just improved relationships between Equestria and your facility."
"Very well then Ms. Sparkle. Now may I ask you what brings you here and whos' your friend here?" GLaDOS asked.
. Twilight was about to answer but her friend answered for herself. "Hi! I'm Lyra Hearstrings and I was...kinda hoping to learn more about the humans!" Lyra said nervously.
. GLaDOS sighed and rolled her one eye ", very well. come on into the main room" she said as she opened the front door.
. As the two ponies walked in, Twilight was slightly amused at Lyra's face expression. Lyra was in the mix of shock, amazment, and wonder as her head rotated wildly from looking around the lobby. As they walked up to the front desk, a white panel sprung up from the floor stopping them in their tracks.
"Um Twilight, Whats going on?" Lyra asked in confusion.
"Oh you'll see," Twilight responded as a blue portal opened up. Lyra stood frozen on the spot as Twilight walked through. She thought it was probably best to follow so she dashed after her Twilight.
. As the 2 ponies entered GLaDOS's 'room', GLaDOS was once again amused by the shcked looks of a newcomer.
"If it makes you feel any better, the new personality equipped AIs are much smaller than me. After all, I was the first true AI with the most superior processing system you'll ever find," GLaDOS said.
"Oh um... sorry bout that!" Lyra said ", Just amazed at the entirety of this place.
"Oh its alright, even humans who first came here in the early days had your same reaction," GLaDOS said.
"Oh my! Really?"
"Yes. Now I take it that you were here to learn about the humans?" GLaDOS asked
"Oh um yes! If you would!" Lyra said in delight.
"Well then, with the learning attitude you possess, maybe there's hope for your species after all," GLaDOS said as she opened another portal on a nearby extended panel and Lyra jumped through.
"Would you like to join us?" GLaDOS asked Twilight.
"If its not too much trouble," Twilight said.
"Don't worry about that. Seriously though I'm a super computer. I can fully process thousands of things simultaneously. Besides, it IS a good learning experience for the ambassador." Twilight blushed at that.
"Though i must give you a fair warning that you will be met with very different information than what your textbooks provided you. I ask of you to prepare your friend and yourself to hear about humanity's corrupt past.
Meanwhile in the Flight Deck...
. Morality was checking over the area making sure the revival was going as planned. The room (or more like underground huge airport) was filled with all kinds of different flight machines modified for AI use fully upgraded with Aperture technology. She was about to check her last box in her mental checklist when she noticed a personality core railing over to an F-16 fighter jet.
. Morality grew supersticious and went to investigate. The core meanwhile, hovered off the rail and into the pilot's seat.
"Hey! what are you doing here!" she yelled as she approached they jet that was now moving on to the flight path.
. She railed up and peered into the cockpit and saw the infamous blue-eyed core.
"Wheatley! What are you doing in here!" Morality screamed.
"I'm following your advice!" Wheatley yelled in delight over the engine noise.", I'm gonna go look for Chell and revive her! With a plane!"
"Wheatley thats an F-16 fighter jet fully equiped with weapons! Even if this was a good Idea I wasn't.." Morality didn't get to finish her sentence as the fighter jet ignited its engine and flew into a large portal in the wall with closed shortly after.
"Oh dear..." Morality said to herself in disbelief.
Meanwhile somewhere outside in the skies...
. The small squad of 5 changelings were sent to fly to the enemy base and hopefully spy on the place for useful weaknesses to deliver to their queen. They were the Changelings. They would rule the world draining everypony of their love energy! They were the superio-
. The thought ended as a large unknown screaming object flew through the skies at unbelieving speeds.
. Wheatley was screaming his metamorphic lungs out. When the core entered the vehicle, a crash course of how to fly the thing was downloaded to his database but Wheatley was never really good in these situations.
"Oh god Oh god Oh god this thing is so fast!" He screamed", Mabye one of these buttons will slow my down!" He looked at the console and pressed a random button by sending a signal through the attachment on the seat and the speaker spoke"targets locked on!" Wheatley was too panicked to think and pressed another button similar to it. "DS missle engaged!"
. The changelings stared in disbelief as the jet approached them. A large projectile detached from what appeared to be the creature's wing and headed towards them. The changelings took this as an attack and immediately flew the other direction only for the flaming projectile to follow. They all immediately spread apart only for the missle to break off into 15 smaller missiles and follow them in all different directions. The changeling scouts could only panic as the projectiles collided to them and they were engulfed and disintegrated by a multitude of explosions.
. Wheatley finally managed to slow down the jet by lowering the thruster lever and glanced behind him. "Oooo... I hope I didn't hit anyone of those flying horses. Hopefully those were just birds,"He said to himself as he sped on.
Meanwhile in the Changeling home...
. Queen Chrysalis screamed in rage as she watched what happened through the wide telepathic connection she had to her changelings. 5 of her elite scouts were instantly demolished by a flying monster. She would have to come up with a new plan. But first, she would rage on about how her 'perfect plan' failed.
