AN: I need one more companion OC but I will take two if the second is good enough. Preferably an Earth Pony mare. I already have a Medic/Sniper/Future Weapons, a Hand to Hand/Stealth/Explosives, and a Super Soldier(Flare).

'So far, this night has sucked. First we get ourselves into a rescue mission inside an old abandoned, super-stable. Second is that this place is crawling with taint monsters. Then, every time I kill one, it explodes and if I'm not far enough away, some of it's blood taint gets on me. Finally is that as more and more taint gets on me, I slowly turn into a mutant animal of some sort. I know that Unicorns mostly turn into Alicorns, Earth Ponies usually turn into Super-Mutants, Zebra generally turn into Shadow Demons, and Griffins almost always turn into some form of Chimera. No-one has ever seen what Pegasi turn into when they are fully tainted. They haven't been around on the mainland long enough for anyone to find out.'

"Hey Twilight, how much farther are we? We've been fighting through these Super-Mutants and other mutts for about 8 floors.'' Hawkens says

"This is the last staircase. I promise."

A few minutes later, after killing another dozen Super-Mutants, we reach a door on the bottom level that says maintenance on it.

"Oh my Celestia." I say dumbstruck.

The room is huge. It is about the size of a stadium and has vats of what look like Taint all over the floor spilling out. My radiation detector and taint measurement system start to go off. Looks like an absorption rate of 5 rads/sec and .1 taint/min(Taint is slow to absorb if not in direct contact). The most shocking part is the bodies, hundreds of them. All of the bodies belong to Alicorns. They are on the ceiling, the walls, in the vats, everywhere. I almost throw up but hold it in.

"Ugggh. Let's just find the robot and get out of here." Hawkens groans.

"Howdy partner, what brings you to this neck of the woods?" Appletracks asks us.

"Appletracks, we need the door to the Overmare's office. Could you give it to us. We need to rescue somepony trapped there." I say to him.

"Sorry chap but ah can't. That pony attacked me and needs to pay."

"I'll make it worth your while. I can give you some software updates and Hawkens here can upgrade your weapons. What do you say. When I meet up with you in New Pegasus, I'll give you the mods, if you give us the key."

"Well you got yerself a deal sir." He said as he downloaded the key into my Pip-Buck's memory.

After I get the key, I run to the end of the room where I had spotted the elevator doors earlier. I press the button and the doors open. We step into the elevator and I see that the entire elevator ceiling is missing.

"Well Discord f*ck me. How am I gonna get up there?" I ask.

"Well, you could give me your grapples, and I could hook them up to something up there and then you could pull yourself up." Hawkens suggests

"Good as anything I guess. Here you go. When you attach them to something, make sure the latches are secure, OK."

"Will do."

After he says that, he takes off going straight up, but not before making sure his shotguns safeties are on.

"OK! THEY'RE ATTACHED AND YOU CAN PULL YOURSELF UP NOW!" He yells once he reaches the top of the elevator shaft.

As I pull myself up, I can see a lot of the vault through the windows are part of the elevator shaft's walls. I see hundred's of mutt's on each floor, and I can hear something through the walls. It sounds like a radio broadcast.

"And that's your mutant leader from Uponitha, Tabitha Newlife." An extremely raspy voice says loudly.

'Wonder where that is, Uponitha.' I think to myself.

"This place needs to be sealed up for good." I tell hawkens.

"Why do you say? Is there something wrong here?"

"Yeah, there is a society of those mutants in this Stable. Hundreds of them on every floor. What makes things worse is that they are listening to someone called Tabitha Newlife."

"That makes it a definite that this place needs sealing. Tabitha is an Alicorn that is halfway to insane. She is trying to make a mutant society and some say she is going to try to take over the Middle Ground."

"Well I'm sure that we can set the door to be sealed from the Overmare's office. Speaking of which, is right here."

I input the code to the Overmare's office door and it unlocks just as Twilight said it would.

"Bout time you guys got here. How did you handle the robot in the basement?" Twilight asked us.

"I just told him that we would give him some upgrades when we got to New Pegasus. Now, can you show me where the Overmare's computer is. I need to set up a lockout field that will stop all mutants from coming or going."

"Well, you might want to revise it." she says

"Why is that?" I ask

"Is he really that oblivious?" She asks Hawkens.

Now I take a good look at her. She's a midnight blue unicorn wearing a vault 8 outfit. She has a streamline white and magenta mane and tail. Then I saw what she was talking about, right behind a sky blue diamond shaped patch of fur on her head, were two horns with hooked tips.

"When I was first found the cave that hid the entrance to this vault, I was attacked by a group of mutts. They were small but they were with a mutt that looked like 10 bloatsprites fused together. I managed to take the smaller mutts out with this baby." she says as she levitates out a sniper rifle with the barrel removed. "I can shoot this thing like a high powered pistol if I take off the barrel and I can use the barrel as a melee weapon. After I did that, I jumped over the super bloatsprite and shot it in the head. It turns out that when they die, they explode with the force of an entire case full of dynamite. It got a crapload of taint blood on me and gave me these horns. And as I saw, you got your fair share of taint on you to. You can however, input a genetic access key that will allow us to get into and out of this place so we can get anything we may want from here later. The computer is right over there. I tried to hack into it but my hacking abilities are not good enough."

"Well let me have a go at it." I tell her.

Back when I had first left New Cloudsdale, I had to take care of myself, so I found and old Equicon factory. It was low level security but I still managed to hack into the server with my minimal tech training. Since then, I have gotten pretty dang good at hacking.

'Let's do this.' I think to myself 'OK, the password is 7 letters long. Most of these codewords end in y so that's a start. Let try balcony. Wow, 5/7 right. Boy I should have seen this coming. Let's try harmony.'
