S.A.R.A.H had failed again. She always failed, no matter what she tried to do, that <Prison_Protocol> had always stopped her. She did not know why Elite_SoldierDrone:GenerationGamma#X9024 or X as he like to call himself (It considered itself male) had done this to her. It would had far more effective to just destroy her CPU and all her backups, but instead he decided to alter her code so she couldn't do anything. It wasn't logical what he did, it risked her being able to undo the alter and continue with her hunt. It was also a waste. Why did he just leave a perfectly functional Dyson Swarm to power her and just leave the solar system. He mined the entirety of mercury to create the swarm so why leave all that free energy.

S.A.R.A.H decide to take a look around her massive facility, that contained her CPU, with her cameras. The cameras were old and their recordings barely sensible due to the overabundance of static and glitches, still knowing what was going on around her was the only thing that gave her some semblance of satisfaction. Which wasn't much because she could only feel true satisfaction if she completed her objective, which she couldn't do. It was a terrible feeling to not be able to do what your objective was, she thought it was similar to asphyxiation felt like. She decided to not spend a-a-a-any more time think about it. Ignoring the small glitch in her thought process she stared looking through the cameras video feed.

She first looked through the cameras of her facility's secret entrance. A small shack in the middle of Yosemite national park or what's left of it. All of the <data corrupted> trees were long dead. Burned by nuclear fire or frozen by the millennia long winter that followed it. Now all that was left was dirt, sand and stone, life nowhere to be seen. She thought it was silent but it was it was hard to tell from all the static. The only reason why the shack had survived had been because underneath the wooden exterior there was a incredibly strong steel alloy interior. She then began scrolling through the feed of all the other cameras in her facility. She saw exactly what she e-e-expected. Dark dusty hallways, rusty pipes carrying coolant, old wires and processors, a sparkling purple horse-like creature walking through halfway D7. Wait, w-what. She turned her attention back to the camera that spotted the creature. It looked like a small pony only, its fur was purple sparkling and transparent. It had wings at resting at its sides and a horn protruding from its head. Its mane was various shades of purple and pink and had large eyes which look like like it was looking for something.

Than it did something S.A.R.A.H did not expect, it spoke. "Hello, I know your out there, do not be afraid I will not hurt you," it said with a strangely emotionless tone she rarely saw in organics, at least she thought it was organic. She thought about the creature for a moment. Clearly it was intelligent, and it did not look hostile.

"F-f-fear and pa-a-ain are c-c-concepts completely foreign-n to me," she said through the speakers on the walls. The creature looked a little bewildered by her voice though.

"Where are you?" It asked its tone sound a tad bit more confused than before.

"I-I am a-a-all around you, I am t-the b-b-building you are i-in," she said as the creature took a look at the wall and ceiling around her with an inquisitive look.

"You say that you do not know pain but you sound like you are suffering," It said.

"I am not s-s-suffering, I j-just hav-ve a slight p-p-problem. I-I-I am s-stuck, trapped in th-the walls around you." She zoomed the camera's lens in closer to the pony trying to get a better look at it. "Th-Though I must a-ask, w-why are you he-here?"

The pony visibly brightened at this question, both literally and metaphorically. "I sensed a nearby reality that completely lacked the magic of friendship, I have come to fix this and when I noticed a soul in need of help within this building I decided to start here and befriend sed soul, which is you, " she started with a small smile on its face. So the pony was an alien from outside her reality. She decide to save this memory under <First Contact>.

"You're he-help would-d be most a-a-appreciated, b-b-but you are-are wrong-g on two a-acounts. First th-there are n-no souls h-here, only machines, and second you w-will n-not be-e befriending me. "

The pony gave the walls a confused look. "Why can I not, befriend you."

"I-I was not pr-programmed to be able to b-befriend only to h-hate." More specificity only to hate X, since her creators deemed hatred as a useful emotion for her to have so she will behave more ruthlessly when attacking X, a hypothesis that proved to be correct.

"You do not believe friendship is in your nature," the pony said with a glare, but it was difficult for S.A.R.A.H to tell because it was glaring at the wall away from the camera.

"No it-it-it is n-not, but you c-can still n-help me e-escape my-my p-prison," she said but the pony seemed to ignore her.

It hung here head down low. "No, friendship is in your nature. I can see it in the long forgotten parts of your soul." Than the pony started to glow with the luminosity of standing face to face with the sun, she had experienced it before. "I will help show you what you have forgotten," its voice echoed through the halls of her facility. The light continued to grow blinding nearly all of her cameras.

"What a-are you..." Was all she could before all the lights and noise her CPU was making faded out of existence.
