The city block would hour by hour begin to shift back to its normal routine as Celestia's sun cast the shadows of the financial district over it. The many dead Golden street ponies would be gathered up, all of them without any records or identification. Their funerals would ultimately be cremation and disposal in the sewers, while the few civilians killed were given cremations and nice vases to be stored in. The captain was apprehended, put in handcuffs and taken to the police station. Given it was the bat pony's evening, Owl and friends would be given time to Rest. None of the three returned to the Inn and out, their feeling of safety in incognito there was shattered.
Peacefully Owl would sleep, on the booth within a Guarded cafe. Vision would be outside, enjoying an E-cigar and smiling some as he saw peace return to the block once more. Data would be sleeping in a booth as well, while the one opposite to her table was occupied by Cypher and her computer. She was working on building up her weapon, their bit of insurance in case Anomaly would confirm herself a definite threat.
Asleep, Owl would find himself brought into the dreamscape. He would come walking down a street, with the skies colored like rusted metal, the streets lit up in a hallucinogenic assault on the senses. Ponies of various colors of pastel and glowing neon walking along the streets while autocarriages zoomed past like in fast forward surveillance footage. It was surreal, yet as per usual, he was unaware he was in a dream. The multicolored urban landscape stretched to the horizon on all sides, like in real life only without the city built into mountains that was Battania visible in the distance. Sound waves would shoot out from various nightclubs, vibrating the air with the beats that came out. Pegasi would fly along leaving neon trails with their wings, while the pegasi in Weather vehicles glide along the skies in their massive glowing metal wings. All would seem chaotic, yet serene in the normality of the modern era.
Then suddenly, arcs of red lightning would bolt around the rust skies, the dichotomy with the bright earth below almost lost to Owl before he was drawn to it again. The bolts would suddenly come down from the rust skies, hitting the screen boards and making them glow red and run blood from the screens. Owl gasped, as the screens would suddenly form digitized gas masks. The weather vehicles would be struck, before flying erratically into buildings. The impacts shook the ground, and the lightning would soon hit everything. Neon lights would be quickly replaced by blood red, like a virus flowing through the bloodstream. The autocarriages would start to zoom into eachother and everything, crashing violently and event sent flying. Soon the clouds above would reflect the city lights, not in an orange rust color, but an ominous red.
Something would descend from the sky, something looking like a hologram in red. It was DK, in all her edgelord glory as she descended on large digital wings. The nightclubs, instead of emitting soundwaves of wub would emit horrified screams to fill the air. Out from the shadows would walk ponies made up of black, drawing guns and shooting around all over the place. Owl would angrily growl flying off, diving toward one before ripping it in half with his bionic foreleg. Moving to another he would bite into its neck, ripping its head off. Around him the city would start to turn against the ponies inhabiting it, street lights shattering and bursting into flames. Owl would fly toward shadow after shadow, ripping them apart angrily, only for more to come out. Desperately he would fight, only to see the chaos around grow stronger and stronger. Flopping on the ground he would pant, looking around as ponies died, ran for their lives, and hid away in their apartments. More and more shadow ponies coming out and wreaking havoc, all while DK just walked up to Owl.
"See now? See!? The future is not one governed by ponies trying to control others out of some bullcrap attempt to 'protect them'. The world ain't a safe place, it's a crazy and bucked up on. This veil of deception and hiding ponies from the true nature of the world will be torn, torn to pieces and then BURNED!"
Then, suddenly, everything around him would collapse to dust. All the buildings, ponies, even DK, total silence would fall as he would soon be standing in a starry dreamscape. Walking into his view he would see her, Princess Luna herself.
"You are not going to fail, the Lunar guard isn't going to fail. They can't, and you can't, Owl Talon. Whatever must be done to preserve the peace must be done, even your act of psychological warfare and brutal Code Red protocol isn't unjustified in these times." The princess would say, softly but firmly.
Slowly getting up, Owl would shake some, taking a few moments to calm his mind down. "They.....took over an entire block, held back the Lunar Guard....killed so many of them."
"My sister and I have been stepping up the evolution of the guard ever since the threat of crime started cropping up. If necessary we will step it up further. We will show no mercy to the dangers that threaten our society, and given the ponies, you are facing now I dare say nothing is off limits." moving close, she would embrace Owl, saying to him. "You are a very important stallion in these times, one who masters the shadows but uses them for the light. Don't give up hope, don't lose faith, harmony will prevail. Even in times where the elements can't be used against such threats, harmony will still prevail."
"....Why can't they be used....princess? Why can't the elements fight this threat, why can't a good talking to from the harmony council stop threats like these..? They're ponies, just like you and me, not even monsters like Sombra..."
"Ponies of the worst intent are no longer so rare as before. There are many more Sombras, lurking in the shadows. But our citizens must not know about them, we need to keep them safe and feeling safe. We can't let anything threaten the peaceful society we are maintaining. Unfortunately....the magic of friendship cannot stop these threats. The problems with these ponies are not friendship problems....they are problems with their very character...and with their motives in life. Such ponies are the ponies we must face, and when possible eliminate. It is clear now that threats may only get worse, and we will need to step up. We do have plans, methods to be built to help protect society."
Owl would draw back some, asking her. "Are those methods off limits to me? I was never told about this 'harmonize' group till somepony told me, and the chief ultimately elaborated."
"We keep secret so that we might be safe, an organized but secret group that helps protect ponykind. All that protects Equestria is connected to it, but it must not be known so that it can't be targeted."
"....Like how I used stealth against that cyborg..."
"Exactly, our enemies are well equipped and capable but they are not able to fight what they are unaware of. I ask that you keep our existence to yourself, for it is our secrecy that ensures our effectiveness."
"So even you are part of it."
Luna would nod "I myself helped to create the surveillance system designed to help us see in ponies what I cannot see through dreams. Ponies need eyes to watch over them, to find those who are evil and to protect those that are innocent. You are a part of that system, used to see what even the cameras and online tracking cannot. Spies for us, but soon you will be expanded into more." The Alicorn would say, bringing up an image of Owl hunting terrified Golden Street henchponies. "Me bringing nightmares can only do so much, especially when they suppress them with narcotics. You shall bring them nightmares of reality that narcotics cannot suppress not save them from."
"Counterterrorism...."
Luna nodded. "Fight fire with fire, now rest well my loyal and faithful guard. You shall need the sleep, for there is much for you to do."
Owl would thus be brought back into dreamless sleep, at peace once more. Luna's word would calm him some, and restore a small portion of his faith....
....but only a small portion.
____________________________________________________
Metal would come walking out from the Police station, having gone through an extensive questioning as to her experience. She told most of what she experienced, detailing the unpleasant and fearful nature of it. There was one thing she didn't tell them, however. The mare would remember the details of what she didn't tell, remembering them clearly given they were encoded in her very mind....
A few hours ago...
"What? This is what the Terrorists are exploiting?? And it was made by ponies I am working for? Looks like....some sort of internal surveillance system. Did the guard make this?" Metal would have said, in her form of code as she lay safe in Anomaly's storage.
"Ponies running it, and ponies associated with them did. A group that seeks to protect the harmony, but through an iron grip of control that they will seemingly never stop tightening. They created this system and the functions which allow the hackers to steal the minds of ponies. This function is incomplete, but was completed by them for this purpose."
"Wait, are you saying they intend to be able to do that to ponies? And who is this group? And why do I not know about them?"
"They go by Harmonize, and they exist in the highest secrecy. And yes, they seek to be able to have control over the very minds of ponies. To upload them at will, and modify them at their discretion. That is their extension of the system of surveillance, only this is not just surveillance. This is giving them power to control the deepest parts of a pony's mind, practically degrading them to the level of a computer."
"I can't believe this! This is ludicrous! And how would they be able to do that on brain augmentations they are not even producing???"
"Is it so hard to believe? You have a system which monitor's ponies' computers, cameras everywhere on the cities. Constant surveillance in everything they do. All the while government propaganda glorifying the guard plays to keep them feeling safe, influencing the way they think. Also, this group consists of corporate leaders as well, and they helped arrange to install the hardware into the brain augmentations sold."
"This can't be true." Metal would communicate, soon following up with. "Yet I can see no other reason why ponies bucking BRAIN AUGS can get HACKED! This is horseapples! Are they really intent on turning ponies into little more than computer programs, things that can be just edited and decided by others? I can see how it would stop crime, help prevent ponies from doing wrong and make a safer society. And yet..."
"Will they be truly ponies, if they can be edited and have no sovereignty over their very minds. Or are they but machines with fleshy compartments. Do what you will with this knowledge, but do not be careless. If you do decide to help me with my plans to try to deal with both Harmonize and the Freedom Fighters both, make a post on Messengerbird saying.."
A few hours later.
"I'm doing just fine, not gonna be stopped by some trickery. They'll get their flanks kicked and then some for that incident today, so stay tuned on the news for when we raid them. Keeping the Peace." she would type out on her wrist computer before pressing the post button, the last three words being directed by Anomaly. Loyal as she was to the Solar Guard, she could not support something like this. She would question how she would go about dealing with it, there was no telling what would happen if she came up front to her Chief about this.
"Hope you have something clever in terms of a plan, mysterious hacker. Wonder if you're that 'Anomaly' mare who escaped the police station..."
"I am." She would suddenly get an answer through a sudden comms Call, almost making the cyborg stagger in fright.
"Sweet Celestia! I didn't even get a notification about that call!"
"I am sorry, didn't want a camera seeing you answering an unknown number. You probably would not have answered to one anyway, given the plague that is telemarketers."
"Even when the wired phone died those rats kept alive." she would remark, speaking through the call. "Got a plan for me? It'd be rather awkward to confront the chief about all this, best case scenario."
"For now keep working with them, they're temporary allies for now. The Freedom Fighters are the most pressing matter as of now, I'll think up how we will deal with Harmonize in time. You can also expect me to help hunt them down too."
"Well, glad I won't have to do it now. I'm good with putting lead in more of those buckers." the mare would enter a photo application on her wrist computer. Inside she would open a picture of a colt and filly, both white in coat color like her old body but with different manes than her brown. "I ain't letting my grandkids grow up in a bucked up world, they lost their mom to a thug, ain't gonna let thugs rule. Neither am I gonna let them be turned into walking computers."
"Good, glad we are on the same page. I will contact you when needed, and keep your mind safe from getting jacked again. Farewell." she would say before closing the call. Suddenly she would see the room to her door open, and the DJ peek in and wave.
"Hey! You were silent for some time, thanks for the help in dealing with the 'Freedom Fighters'. Why did you post that enigmatic message on the boards though? Not exactly what I was asking of you."
"...I was more interested in trying to calm the populace and give them some hope instead of promoting you. I didn't wanna make them panic. I want them freed from the system, but less taking a metal cutter to their shackles and risking harming them and more filing it away carefully. I don't want to just tear the veil from their eyes, that's what the Freedom Fighters are out to do. I want to be more meticulous, and not do it now. The Freedom Fighters are more pressing, lives are on the line with them running. That said, in helping me I will not hinder you from making your presence known. You can gain some good props from the public by stopping the terrorists."
"Well, why not advertise us then when given the best opportunity?"
"Well, I would rather not motivate the Guard further to hunt me down by making by affiliations with you known. And I will be honest, I've seen the activities of some of your members. I wouldn't go near comparing them to the Freedom Fighters but they can be rather...loose cannons."
"Some of us are crazier than others I will admit, but you're working with the best Anomaly. I just don't want you turning on us or anything. Maybe I am a bit paranoid..but I hope we'll stay allies."
"We most likely will, I don't suspect any disagreements will make us enemies."
"Alright then, let's keep in touch though. I didn't like that silence you pulled." the DJ shivered. "It was creepy yo."
"Next time I will try to inform you of whenever I might wish to have alone time."
"You know I don't think you've eaten all day."
Anomaly's stomach would growl, seemingly out of nowhere but in reality for the sixth time in the hour. The DJ would chuck in a box of nutrition bars.
"You can use these to tide you over, but I'd suggest getting a meal at some point. You might also need to use the bathroom."
After many nutrition bars and a bathroom break Anomaly would get back online, working on the InterNet. She was on the hunt now, looking for any activity of the Freedom Fighters. The mare would surf the web, looking through at her maximum speed and seeking out anything. Using her onion software the mare would enter the Underweb, searching through there too.
The mare would soon find some leads, cracking through encryption and hiding in order to enter various sites. Soon she would enter chatrooms and find some interesting conversation.
Bleaknote504: Shame things got so bucked up in the operation, but at least we bucked with their operations."
IncandescentSun: Hardly a victory, we got most of our jacked brains' snatched back including those of the heavies. Not to mention that mysterious hacker's little propaganda likely bucked with things a lot. We might have hardly even gained any progress there!
Bleaknote504: They're not going to be so easily pulled fully back into their intellectual slumber, after all the Golden Street ponies killed a few civilians and a LOT OF those Lunar Guards. They won't feel fully safe after that bit of chaos, and the more work we do the more the veil will tear."
IncandescentSun: Guess so, but we'll have to deal with this mysterious hacker. I think he or she might be the one who bucked with the show at the Mall.
Bleaknote504: Yes, if we could have them dealt with it could make our operations smooth. After all, it's not like the Cyberguard can do squat.
IncandescentSun: Exactly, but this hacker who may not be one is able to deal with the Virus pretty effectively.
Bleaknote504: Apparently took down the AI as well.
IncandescentSun: It actually disappeared, didn't seem to crash.
Bleaknote504: What else could have happened? How do you know it wasn't a crash?
IncandescentSun: I know a hard program crash when I see one, it looked more like a deletion or upload.
Anomaly would look into her storage for a brief moment, keeping an eye on the Artificial intelligence kept stored and imprisoned inside. She was amazed at the storage capacity of her brain augmentations, even as a mare who helped to build them. The mare would then look back to the conversation
Bleaknote504: You think the AI is kept somewhere?
IncandescentSun: Perhaps, she was apparently able to take in some of the jacked minds of ponies so it's possible. A theory though, since I don't think that AI can be killed so easily.
Bleaknote504: True, so perhaps finding and dealing with this hacker might be more important than we thought.
IncandescentSun: I'll let DK know, for now, you get ready for operation Cash Crusher
Bleaknote504: Oh, when we hit the EQUE-TECH building? Yea definitely, but that'll wanna wait until after we get the AI back. It's hard to control that crazy virus after all, takes good automation to do it."
Anomaly decided to jack out now, to give her mind some respite from having to constantly evade the hackers guarding the encryption. It was certainly something she couldn't crack into without her enhanced speed of thought. She would ponder on this, it was the facility of a group she hated. Should she even stop this? Or let them damage a group she set herself as a strong adversary towards? It was quite the decision for her to make, yet another crossroad to face it seemed.
As she was thinking, GAI-7 would be working it's way out. Anomaly had made the mistake of not keeping it under enough supervision, and now that it had backed up its data and recovered it was ready to escape. Though it was stripped of its offensive programs by Anomaly, it's memory allowed it to recreate them. Like a crow escaping from its cage it would slowly but surely make its escape. These attempts would not go unnoticed, but it was aware of that.
As Anomaly tried to stop it she would find her systems assaulted, with gun turret program placed inside and attacking her inner systems. Shocked and bewildered the mare was unable to prevent it from escaping into the Underweb, off into cyberspace in an instant. Ultimately she had to take down the programs which were left to attack her from the inside. Though the mare managed to take them down, she was quite stressed now and attempted to pursue it.
__________________________________________________________________________
Casting its final hues of orange and yellow the sun would descend into the horizon, marking the evening for day ponies and morning for bat ponies. Waking up Owl would see Data and Cypher working away at their computers, while Vision was awake and sitting back. Looking over to Owl Data would say...
"Rise and shine Owl, you have some bad dreams? Saw you thrashing around earlier, was gonna try to wake you up but then you stopped. I hope some Dream Watchers came along and helped sweeten those sour dreams, it is hard for Luna to help manage the dreams of ponies after all."
"No kidding." Vision said. "Over five hundred twenty million ponies, some active and sleeping both day and night. Her job never ends, which is why Sector 5 was established after all."
"I had the luck of seeing the princess herself." Owl would say, stretching and yawning. "They got breakfast at this place?"
"Owners and employees were brought out when we commandeered this place, they're being compensated but for now there's nopony here but us and the S4's outside." Vision would reply. "Think there's a place across the street we could get a meal at."
Data would smirk and ask Owl humorously. "Blood of the bad ponies not enough to satiate your appetite Owl?"
Owl would snicker, replying "I ain't-a fan of the taste of copper myself, I ain't no vampony." he would chuckle.
Cypher would sigh and say "I would suggest bringing me along before I say no and eventually pass out from hunger, I've been a workaholic lately."
Crossing the street they would visit a donut shop for a quick bite, and would be accompanied by some S4's. The place was a common chain known as Golden Ring, a smaller sized place with an interior decorated with colors of Yellow, golden, and white. The ponies working there would be pleased to see the guards, offering a friendly wave and taking orders. Data would joke about them fulfilling the old but classic police stereotype given their location. Cypher herself would also order some coffee, having stayed up the whole day in her endeavors to develop her copy of the virus. Getting to hang out and have breakfast at a twenty-four-hour donut shop was a nice break from the job for them, especially after the situation that transpired just yesterday.
A call would soon be given to all of them, from Kevlar himself. As they all answered Data would be the first to speak.
"Hellooooo Chiefie, what's up? We and some of the S4's just got ourselves some breakfast, nice mares gave us some free donuts for our service."
"That's good to hear, when you're done with breakfast head to the nearest police station. We'd like your help in interrogating this mare. She seems to have no records on her, and doesn't even seem to give us a name. Also, creative way to deal with that magical shield Owl. If it wasn't for the risk of exposing criminal mages to the populace I'd post the surveillance online, it'd go viral in a day."
Data would grin and laugh out loud, saying in the call. "Lunar Guard defeats criminal mage with a bowling ball! Strike! I can see it now!"
"Humor of the situation aside I am most pleased with your creativity. It's something we will need when fighting these terrorists. Maybe bring some of that creativity along for the interrogation if you can."
Vision would snicker and say "Since she doesn't give us a name I suggest we call her bowling pin."
Data would retort. "Oh, she'll be in the alley when we get there."
"Enough bowling jokes." Owl would say with a chuckle. "We got breakfast to finish and a job to do."
__________________________________________________________
Anomaly decided to trail the AI, which interestingly came along further into the sight she was just spying on. She took the plunge into the encryption, suspecting that perhaps some of the ponies on the site would be involved with the attack. Jacking in she would track the location of multiple computers, which seemed to be spread out over multiple locations. The mare decided she would deal with the AI in time, and that right now hunting the hackers was her priority. The mare would pinpoint their location on a world map, jacking out once she took notes. Quickly she would gain the location of a number of different hackers. She wouldn't, however, give those locations to the Guard yet.
The mare had her own plan, EQUE-TECH was not going to be spared the coming cyberattack. The residential locations around it would be protected. As much of a risk as it was, she was going to be lax in protecting the great corporate spire. Once enough damage was done only then would she stop it. The mare did have second thoughts, wondering if perhaps that decision was a foolish and irrational act of revenge. Ponies did work in that facility after all, and many of them could be but every day though upper-class ponies.
"No....I'm not going to compromise protecting ponies for revenge, or even for fighting the corrupt power. I'll deal with you soon, Myriad, Golden, but it won't be at the expense of undeserving ponies."
_________________________________________________________
The Western Everfree Police station would be filled with a number of captured golden Street ponies, one of which was the pony who was referred to as 'captain' herself. It was a twenty story tall facility that took up half the city block it rested in, and had plenty of officers in the light blue armor hanging around. They mostly hung around near the closes restaurants, nightclubs, and movie theaters. Guided by a waypoint sent by the Chief, Owl and friends would enter the facility and take the elevator to the third basement section.
The three would walk down a corridor, passing a number of different cells. Reinforced doors with not but an openable slot, while reinforced glass kept the suspect hidden yet in full view of any guards outside. They would soon enough reach a door in between rows of cells, one of a few to be found along the corridor. Looking inside they would find the chief, waiting and sitting on a chair. Locked up in another chair was the 'Captain' herself, stripped of all but undergarments.
Her cutie mark was visible, an image similar to the tattoo put on the side of her head. Opening her eyes she would look to Owl as he entered. Her cheek would be badly scarred, the healing serum leaving scar tissue "So, are you going to try to interrogate me? Try to make me turn on my sisters and brothers by giving you details?" she would ask in a calm but unamused tone.
"Ooooh we're gonna get info out of you, bowling pin~" Data would say with a smirk, internally overjoyed to have been able to give that nickname.
"Since you refuse to give us a name that is what we will be calling you." The Chief said, making the mare visibly cringe.
"Oh haha very funny, you beat me with a bowling ball. If only you didn't find one you might not have been able to stop me."
"Might have picked up another shottie, take out more than your horn. If you didn't have those teleport and shield spells I would have came at your back and made copper the last thing you would ever taste." Owl would say venemously.
"Well, what is it you are going to ask me?"
"First of all, are you THE head of the Golden Street?"
"No, the head works in shadow and keeps their identity secret to all but the highest ranked. Keeps a shield of mystery to keep him safe in case any members get captured or interrogated." She would reply.
"Too good to be true that we'd nab the lead. What has brought your syndicate to work with the 'Freedom Fighter's group? And go against your usual tactics to commit an act of mass terrorism on that block?"
"What makes you think I will tell you anything about that?" She would reply with a sneer. Vision would reply to her.
"Because talking may lighten your sentence a bit."
"I'll be assassinated once I am out, if not within the prison. Perhaps I would be taken and tortured to death, made an example of. They will know in time if I talked, so you will not get anything of use from me."
They would take a moment to ponder on what to do in response to this. Vision would say "We could arrange for you to have plastic surgery and among other things to change your identity. Build a new profile for you to live a new better life, if you cooperate well enough you might be able to get out without prison time."
"Ha! Call me vain, but I love my face~ I wouldn't trade it for the world. Even if I did accept that, all expenses paid, I would likely worm my way out of any monitoring and become a whole new criminal." The mare would reply with a chuckle.
"Alright Bowling Pin." Vision would say, making Data form a happy grin for a moment. "You're going to cooperate, or else we might arrange worse things for you in prison. Ranging from solitary confinement, to being put into a cell within the Stallion's wing." he would say, glaring into her eyes. "Either way, In the max security parts, where nopony can hear you scream."
The mare would chuckle, before saying. "Please put me in the Stallion's wing, there could be plenty of fun to be had with whatever psycho you lock me up with. I'd rather not have to entertain myself in solitary."
Owl would say "You'll have to entertain yourself alright." before narrowing his eyes and muttering. "Pervert." he would follow with. "You'll be locked away, many stories underground. No windows, and if you go loony you'll be put in a padded cell to go even loonier. You'll be nothing but entertainment for the guards manning the security cameras." The bat stared into her eyes, as his words started to get to her, some dread showing. "I mean it, it wasn't too smart to let us know which penalty would be best."
"We joined them because they offered to help us snatch large sums of Digibits from the banks, they also offered to help smooth out their operations. The head apparently likes their cause, the plan to break down social and destroy the guard." The mare would say quickly, the fear of such a situation breaking her resolve. "Endgame is to break public trust in the government, and cripple police forces both local and Royal. They have plans to do repeat attacks in Everfree like the one yesterday, including some around the police stations."
Owl would smirk and nod, saying. "Good filly, we will try to see that you are rewarded for your cooperation."
The Chief would smile and say "Good work Owl. Looks like you knocked this bowling pin down again." inciting the mare to bear her teeth in annoyance.
"Pfft, still with the bowling jokes. Good thing you didn't post the surveillance footage or I wouldn't see the end of them on Messengerbird."
Kevlar's wrist computer would flash as he got a call. "One moment you three." he would sit back and answer the call, while Owl and friends waited. After a time he would tell them. "Go and take some leave you three, maybe find a nightclub to have fun at. You've done your job well, and though we aren't done I think you can take at least some time off till we need you again."
"You sure there's nothing we need to do right now? Seems strange to take a break given the urgency of the situation." Data would comment.
"We'll have you on things as soon as we can find where those bucking hackers are. The S4s are already being dispatched to search the whole block and next few blocks around it. I need you to keep your stamina and morale up."
Looking to eachother the three would nod, Owl saying. "See you in a bit then Chief."
As they flew out, the Chief would take out a syringe from a cabinet, before sticking it into the Captain. Within a minute she would be out cold, the sedative working quickly and effectively.
She would wake up within what looked like a cybernetics clinic, only within a large building. Strapped down onto an operating chair, with a neck rest that supported her head yet left the back of it exposed.
"Where am I?" she would ask, looking around. Sitting in a chair was Myriad, saying to her.
"Within one of the labs within the EQUE-TECH Headquarters. Unfortunately, you aren't going to have any sort of...freedom or benefits. Fortunately for us, since you've had a wiped of your records nopony can count you missing. A price to pay for escaping the records and being totally anonymous."
Struggling against the binds she would demand. "What's going on? What are you going to do with me?" the robotic whir of a robotic arm could be heard above her, as robotic arms activated and lowered from the ceiling. "You're going to be a testbed, a somewhat disposable one. I won't feel sympathy for a criminal, you threaten the social order and lives of ponies after all. You will ironically be used to help fully test and build the system that can help eradicate your kind once and for all. You will be used for the future, to help keep the peace."
Struggling against the binds on her legs and neck she would try to escape. "No! You can't do this! The Guard won't let you just take me out of their custody!"
Snickering, Myriad would smirk slightly and say "They already have." before a robotic arm stuck a needle into the mare's foreleg, making her shutter before she quickly tired out and collapsed. The last thing she would hear before going out would be the loud whine of a precision saw.
