//------------------------------// // Activating the organic repurposing machine // Story: Synthetic but living // by Dark Nightshade //------------------------------// 2 days had passed since the defeat of Burrow, and everything was going back to normal. It was now Saturday, and the matter repurposing machine was done. Fortunately, Raw Data had some help when it came to getting old, unused organic matter. Probably the biggest help was when Applejack one of the girls friends, brought in an old, dead tree. That had been difficult getting down to the basement. Everyone helped putting in the chopped up wood into the repurposing slot. However, it turned out that there was a little bit too much organic matter, and Ultrabyte and Raw Data were talking about what to do with it. "It needs to go somewhere!" Raw Data said. "And I'm guessing that you don't want it to go to your stomach or head." Well, come on! Ultrabyte complained. It's either my boobs or my butt. I was already fine with the size that they were! They're already big enough. "I know you were, but it still needs to go somewhere!" Raw Data said. He and the other girls were wearing the Multipurpose Headgear. "I could take the extra!" Pinkie said seductively. Yeah, why don't we do that? Ultrabyte asked. "Can we do that?" Raw Data asked. Of course we can, Ultrabyte said. I included that feature just in case this happened. "Well, ok then," Raw Data said. "I guess we give Pinkie the extra." "Yay!" Pinkie exclaimed. "Well, Ultrabyte, are you ready?" Raw Data asked. "Because the repurposing machine is ready." Yes, I'm ready, Ultrabyte said. I'll transfer over to the repurposing machine, and then on my mark, you can start it. "And how fast will this take?" Twilight asked. She had been extremely excited by all the things that Ultrabyte had brought, and the grand prize was the repurposing machine. Well, since all the trees matter have been broken down into a literal gene pool, it'll take a lot less time than if we didn't let it, Ultrabyte said. But, it will take approximately an hour or so. Don't worry, after that Pinkie can go in and add the excess genetic matter to wherever it is that she wants it. Pinkie giggled. "Oh, I think you know where," she said. Anyway, because of all this excitement that Twilight is showing, you can watch the process through the window, Ultrabyte said. "What window?" Twilight asked. Hang on a second, Ultrabyte said. I can make this bit transparent. Everyone stared at the repurposing machine. And suddenly, a section of one of the sides started to disappear! "You're doing that?" Sunset Shimmer asked. "That is awesome." Yes, yes it is, Ultrabyte said. Now, if you want to watch, and that's including you too, Raw Data, if you want to watch, you can watch. Raw Data's face was full of surprise. "You'd be ok with me watching?" he asked. Yes. Now, if no one minds, can you press the button? Ultrabyte asked. Raw Data smiled and nodded. Good. Now, I'll not be able to talk while my new body is getting made, so don't expect me to respond to anything. Also, after Raw Data presses the button, don't press anything else, ok? Pinkie, I'm looking at you. Everyone giggled. "Don't worry, I won't," Pinkie said. Then in that case, Raw Data, will you press the button? Raw Data's hand was already on the button, so when Ultrabyte said to do it, Raw Data pressed down. Immediately, the machine whirled to life. Raw Data, along with everyone else, looked inside the machine and saw a bunch of little arms spraying white stuff into a specific area. First, at the top, was what looked like the brain. At first, it was very misty looking, but it began to become more and more solid looking. After a few minutes of spraying the brain, it must have been done, because the arms started spraying elsewhere. The skeleton's misty form started becoming clear. "Hey, do you have any snacks?" Pinkie asked. Raw Data nodded. "What do you want?" he asked. Pinkie shrugged. "Whatever you have, really," she said. Raw Data went to grab a chip bag. When he returned and looked into the machine, he could see the beginnings of intestines being formed. He handed the chip bag to Pinkie. For the next hour, they watched Ultrabyte's body being formed. Raw Data turned away with a blush when the final layer of skin started to form. And finally, it was done. The machine started ringing, and a door popped open. Raw Data looked at the machine again. Ultrabyte fell out, and landed on her face, her butt raised in the air. For a few seconds, everything was silent. Then Ultrabyte gasped and started to move. Or try to, anyway. She started raising herself from the ground, but collapsed. "It's done," they could hear her say. "I have a body again!" She started raising herself again, and this time, she was successful in raising her torso from the ground, displaying her boobs, so of course, Raw Data looked away again. "I need food," Ultrabyte said. "Is that a chip bag?" Pinkie handed her the chip bag, and Ultrabyte dove into what little amount of chips there where. Once she was done with it, she looked back up at everyone else. Raw Data still had his back turned. "Darling, I have some clothes that you simply must try on!" Rarity suddenly gushed. "Raw Data was right, you are extremely pretty!" Ultrabyte blushed. "Thank you," she said. She looked down at herself. "I do need clothes. Where are they?" Rarity moved to her left and gestured at a pile of clothes lying on a small table. "Don't worry, they're free of charge," Rarity said. "Oh, they're bueatiful!" Ultrabyte said. "Thank you! Hey, someone help me stand up." Pinkie and Twilight stepped up and each grabbed Ultrabyte under each arm, and lifted up. Ultrabyte's legs were to weak to support her, so Twilight and Pinkie helped her 'walk' towards the clothes (it was closer to dragging Ultrabyte, but at least she was sort of using her legs). Ultrabyte started reaching towards one of the bras. "I'm glad you like them," Rarity said. "I can help you put them on, if you like." Ultrabyte had already unhooked it and was starting to put it on. "Oh, I think I only need help with my panties and pants," Ultrabyte said. She grabbed a shirt and started slipping that on, with Pinkie and Twilight repositioning their holds on her. And after, they started helping with her pants. Her shirt was light grey, and her pants were a shiny bronze color. "Ok, Raw Data, I'm decent," Ultrabyte said. Raw Data turned around. And he froze. "Wow, those are good clothes," he said. He smiled. "How does it feel to finally have a phisical body again?" "Hungry, mostly," Ultrabyte said. Her stomach gurgled, almost like it was proving a point. "Well then, time to get you some food," Raw Data said. "And some muscle training."
