Sven's job wasn't very important. He worked at a computer monitoring statistics and test results. It required no skill. He could easily be replaced by anypony in any run-down orchard in Equestria. Hay, even someone from some other nation could, Look at him, for example. He was a moose. He came from a boat.
His mind was running off track. He tried to focus his thoughts.
"Okay, Sven. You're supposed to be monitoring the Sector C Anomalous Materials Anti-mass Spectrometer test today. Your supervisor said that the results are going to be a little larger than normal, since they're using more power on the sample." He thought to himself.
The sample's name showed up.
GG-3883.
Sven opened the surveillance camera, to monitor what was happening in the observation room.
In the chamber were two stallions, one with a dark grey coat and red eyes, and another with a light grey coat and green eyes. The dark grey one had a red HEMV suit, and the light grey one had an orange HEMV suit.
"T-testing..." The scientist cleared his throat. "Now that you're both finally here, we can start the test. Gordon, if you would press the button on that platform, we could start the test before the sample arrives."
The button was pressed.
Phase arrays were being detected.
"Phase two emitters, starting... now."
Phase 2 emitters were activated.
"Ace, we cannot predict how long the system can maintain this, please, work as quickly as possible."
The sensors showed that the elevator had successfully lifted GG 3883 into the chamber.
"The delivery system just arrived with the sample, please insert it."
The sample was inserted into the center.
"C-celestia! Ace, get away from the beam!"
Unstable rays were hitting the walls.
"Shut it down, get them out of there!"
"Major system failure detected." The screen flashed in red.
Sven pulled the shutdown lever, nothing happened.
"It's not... It's not shutting down!"
A stray beam hit the observation room. An explosion occurred.
The scientists in the observation room were reported dead.
Another beam had hit the HEMV suit Doctor Sparks had been wearing.
The subject was reported missing the instant he was hit.
The room was destroyed.
Sven got up from his chair.
He trotted to his administrator's office.
His administrator was dead.
The PA system rang.
"Resonance Cascade detected, please see to the nearest exit."
"Multiple extraterrestrial lifeforms detected. Automatically calling for cleanup crew." The intercom announced.
The lights turned off.
