//------------------------------// // Security // Story: Inaudible Wubs // by OctaScratchRock //------------------------------// Octavia looked around and finally found a stairway leading downward. She walked into it, and when she came out on the other end, she found herself in a large room full of bones. Above the doorway she had just entered the room from was a sign marked "RIB CAGE: TOP FLOOR". In the center of the room was Vinyl's heart, and every time it would beat, a musical note played. "Well, this IS Vinyl." said Octavia to herself. She walked through the room, carefully around the heart, looking for another doorway to go further downstairs. When she found it, however, she noticed that there were two ponies standing with weapons in their hands to guard it. The two guarding ponies were completely white in appearance; no mane, no tail, just a snow-white coat. White blood cells, Octavia thought. She walked to the door, and the two white blood cells raised their weapons. "Who are you?" one of them asked. "I am Octavia Melody." Octavia responded. "Vinyl's best friend." "Prove it." one of the white blood cells demanded. "Why?" Octavia asked. "Because I said so." replied the cell. Octavia began to get clever. She could tell that these cells obviously didn't have a lot of brains, reflecting the pony they worked inside. "You don't need to know who I am." said Octavia. "We don't need to know who you are." said one of the white blood cells, the other one nodding in agreement. "These aren't the droids you're looking for." said Octavia just for fun. "These aren't the droids we're looking for, even though I don't see any droids here whatsoever." said one of the cells. "I can go about my business." said Octavia. "You can go about your business." said one cell. "Allow me to move along." said Octavia. "Move along." said a cell, opening the door to another set of stairs leading downward. Octavia grinned as she walked downstairs. "They fell for it faster than a drunk Canterlot stallion," said Octavia to herself.
