Col.Mattralew left the room and walked down to the Base achieves, there he was greeted by one of his old professors, and the Fort Oceanus's favorite librarian, Dr. Coleman.
"Hey there Mattralew!, What do you need?"
"Some information regarding 2 artifacts. A decorative mirror, and a sword called 'The admirals gladius' "
"Well, I'm more than happy to help!, lets see what we got here..."
40 minutes of rummaging latter...
"Ahh! Found it!" Said Dr.Coleman
"finally!" Responded the Colonel.
"The file's pretty old, and most of the stuff on it is blacked out, But from what I can gather, they were both dug up 60 years ago at some old castle down south, by our resident General's grandpa, Adam Rav. Before being gifted to Fort Oceanus, apparently.They did some tests on both artifacts, the mirror more so than the blade. And they concluded that the Mirror is a-" Col.Mattralew, heard Dr. Coleman Whisper "Oh buck, This thing can't be serious"
"Well?" Asked Col. Mattralew
"Uh, It say here the that mirror is a portal to another dimension of sorts"
"Does It say anything about said dimension?"
"No, Nothing, They only ever conducted basic scans of the other side. Starfleet command shut them down over concerns of what might be waiting on the other side"
"Well, The general, gave me an order to get him back his Gladius, and it's not like I have anything better to do, SO... if you don't mind, I'm going to go get geared, up. The general already gave me permission to go"
"Well then, See you latter Colonel, stop by anytime you want."
"Thanks" he responded before making a slightly comedic 180 turn back towards the door and walking back out. Towards the armory.
"I swear this day keeps getting weirder and weirder"
Meanwhile in canterlot...
Argent trotted down the halls of the royal castle, the part shadow pony, part nirik admiring her newfound blade.
"At long last I finally have back what was rightfully mine to begin with!"
Oh boy was she wrong...
