//------------------------------// // Vital Information // Story: Mistake // by Gallants //------------------------------// After I finished giving my goodbyes to the general Twilight led me to her house, the library, "Twilight welcome back, some horrible blood-covered pony came in the yest-," Star Cross trailed off as her eyes fell on me, "T-that one, their c-clean now," she stuttered out. "I had the chance to clean up, thanks to Roseluck," I told her taking a seat, Twilight quickly sat across from me calling for a spike to get some tea made. I removed my helmet as Star Cross left. "Spike is my little brother slash, number-one assistant; now onto you," she said with fervor, "Furless, explains your desire to wear such heavy gear most of the time," Twilight began looking over my exposed skin, "Soft facial features, complete heterochromia, very rare," she said, "I might have to study you specifically, and your name CT-Sixty-Three, what does that mean?" She asked taking notes. "CT stands for clone trooper and sixty-three is my birth number," I told her quickly noticing who must've been Spike bringing in the tea Twilight had called for, "Well aren't you a sight," I said leaning forward resting my elbows on my knees, "As robust-looking as a Trandoshan, but far more handsome, and thank you for the tea," I told him taking a cup, he seemed to kvell with my compliment. "You're a clone, so the 'brothers' you mentioned look like you?" She asked taking a sip of her tea, "And before I forget, do you mind allowing me to study your anatomy when we have the chance?" her question this time was followed with a blush as Spike made his way back to the kitchen. "First I don't mind, practically just be a physical, and second no I don't look like my brothers, they called me a mistake," I informed with a sigh, "I was as different as I could be, different eyes, different hair, different body," I said electing to lean into the back of the chair and stare at the ceiling. "Mistake was also my callsign, they used it as an insult, try to break my spirit, they said I would betray them, and they tried to make me," I told her shifting my eyes back to her, "I refused to succumb, I used the enemies own soldiers against them, trying to prove my loyalty to the Republic, it never stuck in their minds I was as loyal as every other clone that is until I didn't execute our general and they tried to gun me and her down," Twilight had stopped taking notes a while ago, tears suddenly pulling at her eyes. "I am so sorry that happened to you," she said, I shrugged and took a sip of my tea, damn was that good, "If you don't want to continue anymore I understand I mean by Celestia, that's horrible," she stated like it wasn't obvious. "I don't mind continuing, but I figure you aren't interested in hearing more," I said deactivating the gription panel of my breastplate, I lifted it off my body, "It's all war stories I have, I never really spent any time off of the cruiser, outside of combat operations, since the others didn't want me around, so study my anatomy away Twilight," I said pulling the bodysuit down and stepping out of it. She stared at me wide-eyed before her horn lit up and I heard the door lock and several shades get pulled down, I removed what little I wore underneath the bodysuit. "Spike stay in the kitchen," She called out before approaching, "I'm going to touch you is that okay?" She asked her hands out, I gave a crisp nod. Slowly her hands poked and felt around my torso, "Very firm muscle groups, most likely from a mix of genetic donor and extensive exercise," She muttered the paper and pen behind her busy at writing down what she deemed necessary, "Subject CT-Sixty-Three appears to be female from preliminary examination of the genitals, subject has small mammary glands in the approximate position of a ponies," she said before her horn suddenly lit up and a purple wave quickly washed over me. Blinking the spots away I heard her speak while looking over an image of my bone structure, "Similar bone structure to a pony even what appears to be a foals ley lines, fascinating," she quickly looked over to me, "Oh you can get dressed, my preliminary exam is complete, anything more extensive will have to be done at the hospital," She told me, I didn't need to be told twice I slipped into my underwear, and into my bodysuit before affixing my chest piece. "Do you need anything else Twilight?" I asked, which snapped her out of the trance she was in, "And I am a female, only one of the clones to turn out that way," I told her, she quickly noted that down. "Thank you for the confirmation and you're free to go, I have a lot to study with what you've provided," She announced unlocking the door and furling the shades, satisfied with her answer I retook my seat and finished my tea, I'd have to ask Spike for his mix later. When I was finished I attached my helmet and I decided, took my leave and wished Twilight and her brother a good day. Stepping outside I was face to face with the blue one, "Afternoon," I said to her scowl. "What were you doing in there?" She asked, "What did you do to Twilight!?" she seemed angry, "How did you hurt her?", this time her hand gripped the collar of my breastplate, my right hand shot out and gripped her right shoulder, I pushed forward and brought my ankle behind her tripping her and forcing her back onto the ground. I quickly placed my knee into the side of her stomach. "What did we learn?" I said, "If you go for a grab, make it a full grapple and bring your opponent to the ground and keep control," I stated before getting up and pulling her to her feet, "Dash I presume?" I asked holding my hand out, "Twilights fine, she wanted to study my equipment and decided to study me instead," I told her when she refused to take my hand, "Lesson over, let me know if you want to learn some G.A.R fighting moves," She raised her eyebrow at that before smiling and taking my hand and giving it a firm shake. "Rainbow Dash, you don't get to call me just Dash, yet," She told me letting go, "Well anyways, I gotta see Twilight about the new Daring Do book see ya around," She said walking into the library. Chuckling at how quickly she came around, I figured I should apologize to the others. Heading down the road I quickly spotted Chrysalis approaching me. "We have a small problem," She whispered to me, "The changeling you shot survived and I'm sure he recognized me," There was a slight panic in her voice, "They took him to the hospital, we need to go and finish him off," I shook my head at her statement. "Are you insane, we can't walk into a hospital and assassinate some random person," I hissed out, "The fact he survived though does explain why Twilight wasn't so disturbed around me," I said, "But even I was going to do something like that, we need him a lot more isolated," I told her poking her in the chest, "How strong is that chitin anyways if you can survive a blaster bolt to the face?" I asked her, she rolled her eyes.
