Hazard asked. 12:00 had struck. Spring Trap was already on the move. "Let's see..." Trip muttered to himself, eyeing the cinder block buttons. After scanning them once more to confirm his suspicions, he began entering the "box code." '3...9...5...2...4...8.' Suddenly, alarms started blaring, and they weren't the alarms for a system malfunction. The power in the building shut off, and Spring Trap could be seen falling over. "What the--" Hazard said before falling over. Tripwire felt himself waver. Something was meddling with his mechanical brain. Whatever it was, it got Hazard. Trip decided to let himself fall. If worse comes to worst, he could escape using his living brain. ....................... She felt a stirring. Someone was there. She didn't notice. ...................... Hazard felt so weird. He had never been in a place like this before. He could hardly feel his body, yet he could see and move it. He looked queer, almost 8 bit. He saw Trip suddenly appear. Trip looked around and said, "Interesting. It seems like we're in some sort of cyberspace network. We have artificial intelligence, so entering the code transported us here." "You're kidding me, right?" Hazard said, "How is this possible?" "Something tells me that CREATion never forgot us. Our minds are experiencing this sensation, not our bodies. It's kind of like an artificial dream." Hazard thought for a second, and said, "So, what do we do now?" "I'm not sure, but I think that we should explore," Trip replied. The two stallions walked side by side through the "rooms." It looked like another version of the old pizzeria, with water dropping and mice everywhere. "What is the point of this?" Hazard said, frustrated. There's got to be something here," Tripwire said, absentmindedly. Suddenly, he stopped. "Hazard," he said. Hazard, who hadn't been paying attention, stopped and gasped. Laying on the floor in front of them was a pony. With a horn. And blade like wings. 'The robotic alicorn,' Trip thought. The alicorn was a midnight blue with a copper mane, tail, and wing frame. Her cutie mark was the same design that matched the one drawn in the box. 'I'm going to investigate,' Trip thought. With Hazard staring with a look of fear, Tripwire cautiously approached the strange pony, who was in a dormant state. ........................ Something wasn't right. Something was happening. She's slowly starting to gain conscious. ...................... "I can't wake her," Tripwire said. Hazard had a look of shock on his face. "Tripwire, behind you." Trip turned around to see his dead mother facing him. "See you two around," she said in a hissing tone. She barreled toward them and struck them both. Hazard was screaming when he realized where he was. Tripwire was breathing rapidly and sweat was dripping from his face. They were back in the office. It was six o'clock. "Trip," Hazard said, "I just had the most disturbing dream." "That wasn't a dream," Trip said, "It wasn't even a vision. Our minds were being engaged in a simulation at the subcircuit level." "This doesn't make sense," Hazard said, "We saw that robotic alicorn, we saw Blown Fuse, who's been dead for 30 years, and she said something about 'seeing us around.'" "I'm going to enter in these codes when we get back to the lab," Trip replied, "I have a feeling that this alicorn isn't aware of what she's doing. And we need to tell the others about it, especially Infra and Sco-- Spark."
