//------------------------------// // Emergency // Story: Shipwrecked // by Thunder_Chaser_ //------------------------------// As they burst throught the doors of the hospital, several ponies flinched, and one passed out. Colby knew it wouldn't be smart if he explained they're predicament to the hospital staff, he stepped back and let twilight explain. "Doctor, we've got a really sick... Uh patient here, who needs medical attention..." Twilight sheepishly spoke "---- uh.. Um... W-why sure, uh right this way..." The tan stallion in the lab coat directed As they walked down the corridor to a operating room, Colby's boots made the audible sounds, the ponies trotted softer then he had expected... They came into the medium sized room, a large metal table stood in the middle, the stallion shooed them all out as nurse red heart brought Sam over to the operating table. The group was brought over to a small waiting room. it bore a a tv on the wall and a vending machine with horse treats within arms reach from it, as the ponies and Colby sat down the room fell silent over the recent events. Colby sat on a large chair which he dwarfed by sheer size,he stir blankly at the peice of cloth in front of him, he thought of how many soldiers had died in honour of this flag, how many family's had received letters from the forces about their loved ones deaths, how many coffins beared this flag as the rifles sounded for the last time... He snapped out of his trance as the doctor walked in, Colby checked his watched, 48 minutes had passed, he quickly stood up and faced the stallion. "What's the verdict doc?" Colby asked "W-well, we were able to stop the bleeding and fix her up best we could... But it would apear she's in a self induced coma.." "You mean drug induced coma?" "No, normally comas are brought on by different events, but it would apear that somehow, she is suspending her own mind in this state... She has to wake herself up..." The stallion spoke, a grim tone in his voice "How long will it last" twilight asked "W-we don't know, in most pony comas it only ever fully stretches to 6 months... But she is not a pony, and we've never dealt with a coma like this before..." He responded Colby sighed "A normal human coma can last anywhere from a day... To 30 years..." Colby said "In that case then, we're moving her to a more suitable room" "What should we do now?" Flutter shy asked "The only thing we can do... Wait..." The doctor said in a grim tone --- Sam fell, millions of feet per second, all she could do, was watch. The black and star speckled space around her seemed like a consistent abyss. She slammed softly into some form of a blue space bridge, she stood up, everything was easier to do, she walked on the bridge, until she was greeted by a voice. "We have been waiting for you... Samantha..." A soft noble voice spoke Sam looked around searching for this voices owner... She found nothing "What sort of fucked up bull shit is going on... Am I dead... Fuck, I'm so dead, ... So This is what death is like... I thought it would be--nicer..." She said dumbfounded "No you are not dead, but in space" the voice said as it revealed itself a large blue with wings and a horn "... This seems to real to be a dream..." Sam questioned "It is not a dream, very rarely is someone like you... Found on your planet... You are very special..." The horse stated "but for you to reach your goal... You must wake up... You are a pr-" the dream ended abruptly the world around her fell apart, it was soon filled with her hospital bed, her commanding officer In the chair near her with his hat bunched up in his fists, 6 eager ponies standing around the bed "H-hello" she said weakly "Your awake!!" They all shouted the reunion was soon ended by ponies in camoflauge bursting in through the door "Equestrias elite, put your hooves in the air where we can see them!!!" One of the ponies yelled Colby reached for his gun, but was struck by several darts, he fell to the floor, unconscious, Sam screamed. Her voice cut off by a dart piercing her arm... The two unconscious bodies where soon in hand cuffs and being dragged out of the room, twilight questioned and ordered, but was soon silenced by a dart aswell... "This is Carlos spicy wiener to base... We've got the package, prepare to lift off..." A pony with 3 stars on his neck collar
