The Hephaestus Division 12:40 PM 1/11/5167
The Doctor's group was checking around the building for the chronosteel. Rory saw some notes on a nearby table. He said "This is odd."
"What's odd?" Amy said.
"Prometheus was the only one we've ever seen in this place." Rory began reading the paper. He saw notes on the Cybermen as well as various other technology. The Doctor was searching around a desk he saw something that said "AETOS research notes." He began reading the notes and found out something horrible. He said "River, Rose, worn the others quick."
"Why?" River said.
"I think there's more here than meets the eye." The Doctor said. He showed them the the papers and afterwards they left. He, Rory an Amy did like wise.

The Hephaestus Division 1:00 PM
Toola Roola, Starsong, Cheerilee, Flitter and Cloudchaser were in another room. Starsong was practicing her notes quietly.
"Do, Re, Me, Fa, So, La, Do, Do." She was still practicing.
"Are you alright?" Cheerilee said.
"I'm fine." Starsong said "Just practicing."
The other thee ponies noticed. They saw a hallway with the walls cover in red sludge. Flitter said "You think the chronosteel might be in there?"
Toola Roola saw something move in the red. She said "I think we should move on."
Everypony else saw the red goop move as well. They decided to move away from the red stuff until...
The red stuff moved after the ponies. They trotted as fast as they could but the red ooze moved 3 times faster. They are chasing the ponies in around the halls. Eventually they were at a dead end. The crimson ooze had trapped them and were ready to engulf the group until...
Rose Tyler had fired at the ooze several times and carved a pathway to help the ponies escape. The group managed to evade the sludge made of nanobots and the blob decided to to go. Leaving several holes everywhere.
The group thanked Rose for helping them with the slime. She then explained what she knows and the group went to find the others.

The Hephaestus Division 1:15 PM
River Song was looking for the others to warn them of the nanites. She searched for any signs of their presence. Eventually from behind a window she saw Lyra, Bonbon, Minty and Ditzy being surrounded by the red nanites. She tried to get to them but there was no door. River shot the window but the blast bounced off. The red ooze had coated the scared ponies and they were cocooned by the nanites. The sludge pulled the cocoons out into a different room.
River took out her communicator and said "Doctor we may have a problem."
Meanwhile, The Doctor, Amy and Rory were searching for the others. He spoke over the communicator "River try to follow them." as they were passing some buttons next to every gate.
River said "Ok sweetie." she then hung up. The Doctor's group saw something pink in the distance and behind several open doors. He used his screwdriver like a telescope and saw that Twilight's group was inside a barrier... and galloping away from the nanites.
Twilight was also trying to blast the nanites away bit the would rewarm after the blast ht and double in size. The Doctor went to help them only to find the the 9 ponies were surrounded. Amy and Rory shot the red ooze with their blasters but they were having no luck as well.
Twilight decided to use her teleport spell on the other ponies in the hope that that would help evade the nanites. The barrier and the ponies inside disappeared. The the ponies out of the nanites clutches the Doctor pressed a nearby button and the gate closed.
Twilight's group have reappeared back on the other side of the now sealed gate, albeit a little singed by her spell.
'Warn us next time you're were gonna do that.' Rainbow Dash thought.
'I didn't know that was gonna happen.' Twilight thought. She saw the Doctor with Amy and Rory and said "Doctor."
"I take it teleportation was only meant for one pony?" The Doctor said. Ho looked and see the crimson ooze in the cracks of the doors and said "That's not going to hold them long."
Twilight said "What are they?"
Amy said "My guess something to avoid."
The group decided to find Prometheus and ask him what is going on here.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Hephaestus Division 1:30 PM
The Doctor's group were looking for Prometheus. On the way the ponies were taking with each other.
Rarity thought 'I can't believe that someone thought red would be a good choice for these awful nanobots. Why would they chose a color that looks like blood?'
Applejack thought 'Maybe they thought it would make them go faster?'
Pinkie Pie thought 'Maybe they wanted to stick out form the white floors and white walls.'
Twilight thought 'What are they even here for?' The mares continued their psychic conversation unaware that the fillies are being a little creeped out.
Meanwhile in another part of the building, River Song was tracking the red cocoons down. She eventually saw a giant room, blood-red and pulsing. The cocoons with the ponies that were captured by the nanobots were mounted in the center. At the top of the room was a robot made of Nanobots and hooked up to some computers as well as some urns. The machine looked like a woman upside down and appeared to be feeding nanobots to the cocoons. River could see the ponies struggling to get out.
The cocoons started to shrink and change color, there she saw that they now looked like metallic versions of the ponies that were trapped inside. River took out her communicator and said "Doctor you might want to be careful." River saw something on top of the robot. It was some chronosteel mounted to a crown of sorts. One piece of it was a deep azure and had the sign and constellation for Sagittarius. The others had the constellations for Scutum, Indus, Microscopium, Sagitta, Corona Borealis, Coma Berenices and Delphinus. The metallic ponies looked up to the platform where River was but she ran away to warn the Doctor. These metal ponies exited the room.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Hepheastus Division 2:00 PM
River Song had found The Doctor's group and explained what happened.
"Wait you mean the chronosteel is in the swarm of nanobots?" The Doctor said.
"And that they already got to Lyra and Bonbon?" Pinkie said.
"And Ditzy and who ever that other green pony was." Rarity said.
'Minty.' Pinkie thought.
'Thank you.' Rarity thought.
Rose's group had found the Doctor's group. Rose said "I think that whoever made these things are after something."
"Or someone." The Doctor said looking at Twilight and her friends. "We're gonna have to be careful now." The group agreed.
"We'll need to watch out for the nanites and Lyra, Bonbon, Minty, Ditzy." River said. Everyone then started looking for answers.
Meanwhile in the red room with the robot Prometheus walked in and saw the metallic ponies. He said "Well not the ponies My employers are looking for huh." He put on a more serious tone and said "Fine and assimilate the other ponies and bring them to me. We'll need their brains for the Silence."
The four metal ponies started to exit the room. The actual ponies withing struggling to escape their Nanobot-infused shells. Unable to so much as scream with a command to do so and feeling something invading their minds.
