//------------------------------// // Something Strange..... in Twilight's head // Story: Wake up. See this. What do? - Part 2: Raise the Flag (comment driven story) // by RazortheAwesome //------------------------------// Ghost Sombra… open the door… get on the floor… and walk the motherf*cking dinosaur… oh, and then use your ghost powers and put Twilight in clothes that look like a cross between a French maid and a Vietnamese hooker... ghost sombra attempt to possess twilight to successfully walk the dinosaur. Oh if only you could possess Twilight (and you have tried with less than spectacular results), but alas, her will is far too strong and unfortunately, with all of your ghostly powers, it is beyond your ability to possess and take control of her. That, and the fact that she is the only one that can see and interact with you means that you can't really go out and possess anyone else... ... ... ... Okay, you're going to be honest with yourself. That's not the real reason. The real reason is that you saw what was in Twilight's mind when you tried to possess her AND YOU ARE NOT about to go through that again. Seriously.... this mare was messed up before this whole ordeal even started. Had you known about any of this before, you might have considered being generous (which is not a normal trait for you, since it's an element of harmony and all) and helping the poor mare out with her needs.... or at least lock her in a room filled with male concubines. Seriously, this mare really needs to get laid. So yeah, possession is out of the question. "Wah wah wah wawa wah wah.... wah wah wah." Celestia says to Twililight. "Wah wah wah wah... wa wa. Wah wah wah wah wah wah... Wah wah." Twilight says back to her. Okay, that's not actually what they sounded like, but it might as well have been. They've been talking for almost two hours about nothing. AND IT'S SO BORING!!!!!!!! ... ... ... ... ... ... ... THAT'S IT!!! You've been sitting here for who knows how long (two hours) doing nothing. You wanna have some fun. BECAUSE YOU ARE NOT ABOUT TO BE IGNORED!!!!! Using your ghostly powers. The first thing you do, is dress up Twilight Sparkle in an outfit that kind of resembles a cross between a French maid and a Vietnamese hooker. Of course, Celestia does not see this outfit. To her, Twilight just looks normal. To Twilight however, since she is the only one that is aware of you, she is of course, fully aware of you and what you are doing. "Wah wah wah wah wah........ Wah wah." Celestia keeps going. To make this even more fun, you make it so that if Twilight wanted, she could remove the outfit, and even slap you away with her magic if she wanted to (what, you thought the fact that she threw you out of the shower with magic earlier was a fluke? She did that cause you allowed it), but you know she is not going to, because doing so would require some action on her part and that would raise suspicions. Especially with Celestia here in the room with her and all. "Wah wah wah wah..... wah wah wah.... Wah wah wah wah wah..." Twilight says to Celestia while her eyes angrily follow you. She's trying to ignore you. She really REALLY is.... but by god you could laugh so hard right now.... The look on her face... She's glaring daggers at you and Celestia has no idea why. "Wah wah wah?" Celestia says to Twilight. "WAH WAH!!! Wah wah wah." Twilight replies back to her nervously in a desperate attempt to continue the conversation in an outfit that she is only aware of. Because of course, Celestia does not see it. That done, you spin around with your ghostly form... land on her back. Spawn a little red door frame.... Open the door..... get on the floor (okay, it's her back, but semantics)... AND WALK THE DINOSAUR!!! Unfortunately, since you have no visible legs to speak of. You just float across your back... So you are floating the dinosaur really..... Ah but who cares? "Open the door, get on the floor, Everypony walk the dinosaur!" You sing very loudly. "Open the door, get on the floor, Everypony walk the dinosaur!" "Wah wah wah... wah wah wah wah wah wah wah wah wah wah." Twilight does her very best to ignore you. But you can tell from the way she is twitching a little bit that she feels what you are doing. She's getting into rhythm a little..... By You she is actually getting into it. "Wah wah wah?" Celestia suddenly says, confused again. "WAH WAH!?" Twilight says again nervously. Ghost Sombra, slap Twilight's flank and tell her to make you a sandwich. Then chill with Nappa. So you decide to just ask her if she can make you a peanut butter sandwich over and over again, until she does make you one, and then remind her that your a ghost and cannot eat. Well, you have no idea who Nappa is, but he sounds like a pretty cool guy. BUT WAIT! THE TIMING IS TOO PERFECT!!! YOU NEED TO- Thinking quickly, you quickly teleport over to Twilight's butt and smack it with one of your ghostly appendages. The resulting face from Twilight is............... Well, words cannot even begin to describe that it for you. She has the most perfect, frozen expression ever, and the immense blush on her face just completes the picture. "Wah wah wah wah!?" Celestia suddenly says to Twilight, now she seems worried. "WAH WAH WAH!!!! Wah wah wah wah wah.... Wah wah," Twilight replies, now sounding more nervous than ever. "Hey Twiiiiiilight," you say as you teleport back to the side of her head. "Hey Twilight." "Wah wah wah, wah wah wah wah," Twilight keeps talking to Celestia, doing her best to ignore you. "Can I have a peanut butter and jelly sandwich?" You ask her while putting on your most childlike and innocent smile, which is kind of difficult for you since you have pretty sharp and evil looking teeth. "Can I?" you ask again, but to no avail. She's still ignoring you. "Can I? Can I? Can I?" You keep asking, but still to no avail. "Can I have a sandwich? Can I have a sandwich? Peanut butter and jelly. Peanut butter an-" "I'm in your story f*ckin it up," Ghost Nappa suddenly interrupts you as he appears on the other side of Twilight's head. "Oh, please," you say to him. "This series was dead long before you showed up. So..... you must be Nappa eh?" "Eeyup," he says back to you. "You wanna chill at the bar after this?" "Sure, why not," he replies. "Sweet. I'll see you once this chapter ends. There's still more work to be done here," you say to him. "Kay koo," he just replies back to you before he disappears as quickly as he came. Meh, you were right. He does seem like a pretty cool dude. Hmm..... with him coming in here, you forgot what you were doing... If there are any paintings at all where Twilight is, start tilting them so they hang crooked while shouting "Fuck the Police". Her OCD will give her a headache and make her facehoof so hard she gets a bruise on her forehead. If Celestia asks her where the bruise came from, help her out Twilight: uhhhh.... Sombra: You fell down some stairs Twilight: I fell down some stairs....(Whispers to you) What's up with you and stairs? Sombra: What's up with you being a nosy bitch? Twilight: (Frustrated Groan) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=duRO3noyAKU Tell Twilight to listen to you until she yells at you. Then ask her if she likes crystals. Well... Time to become the master of the annoying arts... Start out by imitating Navi... Become a small version of yourself and constantly shout at the top of your voice "Hey, Listen!" If Twilight says 'What?' reply with basic common sense, like explaining how to walk or how to open a door... If you want to get really evil, tell her how to use basic magic kindergarten level spells. Then proceed with shouting "Over here" Every time Twilight walks near a door, and flying over to said door. "Wah wah wah wah wah." Twilght says to Celestia. "Wah wah wah wah wah." Celestia says back to her. Oh, that's right. You were annoying Twilight. With that in mind, a devilish grin spreads across your face as you get a sudden wonderful.... awful.... simply EVIL idea. you notice Twilight looking at you as you do this. She must have seen your devilish smile. Not that it matters to you though. It only makes this a little bit more fun. Unfortunately, there are no paintings around in the room you are currently in. Even if there were, you wouldn't be able to interact with them in any way cause well..... being bound to Twilight and all. She's the only one who's aware of you. That hasn't changed in the past thousand words. You're not about to let that stop you however as you float around in front of her face and, while still keeping the same devilish smile on your face, and create six floating paintings in front of her face. Again, paintings that only she can see. What are these paintings off you may ask? Well, only you in very suggestive poses of course. What else would they be? Also there is one of what you would look like if you were a mare, just to mess with her a little more. But you're not done yet. Oh no, that isn't even the first stage of your plan. With her being forced to look at them, you then float over to the one one the far left, lean against it a little bit, and tilt it a few degrees to the side. "F*CK THE POLICE!" you shout as you then proceed to tilt every one of the paintings just a little bit. Even before you get to the last one, you start to see her OCD kick in as what looks like a vein (it's slightly difficult to see because of her fur) pops out on her forehead. Wow, you're actually surprised. Even for vulgar paintings like this all she cares about is making them all look neat and tidy. Maybe she likes looking at them. Still, you can tell from THE MOST FRUSTRATED LOOK ON HER FACE EVAR! That she desperately wants to do something about those paintings, but can't cause well, only she can see them and again, would raise suspicions. After a few moments, you actually see a bruise appear on her head. Wow, you frustrated her so much you actually made a bruise appear. You must be getting good at this. "Wah wah wah wah wah wah wah?" Celestia asks Twilight, looking concerned. "Waaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhh......." Twilight just says. "You fell down some stairs," you float over and whisper in her ear. "Wah wah wah wah wah," she replies to Celestia, making her more confused than ever. Ah stairs. How you used to love those marvelous contraptions. You would spend so long having fun with your trusty slinky on that endless staircase you had in your... former... palace. Originally, you had planned to build an entire separate castle composed of NOTHING BUT STAIRS for you to mess around and have fun in.... but then things happened... and you got defeated... and it never came to pass.... Oh well. But enough focusing on the past. Instead, lets annoy Twilight some more. "Hey Twiiiiiiiiiiiiilight," you begin to say to her as you watch her OCD start giving her a throbbing headache. You know it is. "Hey, listen," you begin. "Hey, listen, hey, listen, hey, listen, hey, listen," you start saying as you watch Twilight actually fight to hold back a groan. "Hey, listen, hey, listen, hey, listen..." you continue. "The paintings are tilted Twilight," you say to her. "They're tiiiiiiiillllllllllteeeeeeeddddddddddd......... You should really fix them. Do it. Your OCD commands it." "Wah wah wah wah wah wah wah wah!!!!" Twilight angrily says to Celestia in a grave attempt to ignore you. Ghost Sombra. Screama out EVERYBODY DO DA FLOP!!! (typo intentional. That's how loud you must scream it, and in the key of A) QUICKLY! While her eyes are closed, you fly back around in front of her. "EVERYPONY DO DA FLOP!" You scream at her in the key of A the moment she opens her eyes and looks right at you. The moment you finish that, you, and all the paintings, fall face first onto the floor. All the while, the paintings are still tilted. Yes, even on the floor paintings can be tilted. K ghost Sombra here's the deal you should just pull every book off the shelf in Twilight's library using your special ghost abilities of manipulating objects and make a mother fucking book fort... NOW! You lay face down on the floor for several moments as you contemplate what to do next. Unfortunately, you aren't in Twilight's library, so you can't really make a book fort. Not even if you wanted to cause unfortunately, again, you cannot interact with anything in the real world other than Twilight. You do however, have six paintings laying on the ground with you. So after a few moments, or at least the amount of time you know it will bother Twilight as she looks down at you confused as to why you are not moving (yes, you know she is doing that). You float back up, all the while still keeping your face towards the floor, and float the paintings all around you to create a painting fort. Yes, what are marvelous architectural contraption you have made. Truly a work of genius. Twilight is talking to Celestia and you feel that you aren't coming up in the conversation at all, you decide to rectify that. While Twilight is trying to talk to Celestia, you pretend to do lewd things to the Princess to bug Twilight since she's the only one who can see you. Stick your butt in her face, sniff her hair, lick her ears and other inappropriate things while Twilight looks at you and becomes increasingly agitated. Start going thru your Navi routine again whilst doing these actions. Twilight still doesn't want to let anyone know that she sees you, so she tries to tell you to stop by yelling at you under her breath, which Celestia notices Finally, go for the Kill, pretend to Mount Celestia, while complimenting her 1,000 year old flank which causes Twilight to shout Twilight: GET OFF YOU PERVERT!!! Sombra: Can't, got no physical nads Celestia: Excuse Me? (To Twilight) Twilight: Uhhhhh..... Sombra: Ha Ha Ha, Wacka Wacka! Then start singing a very annoying song while until she starts talking to you in force right in Front of Celestia. Tell her to tell Celestia about you and you'll stop singing, you don't need to be kept a secret, anymore, you want your Body Back Damnit!!! Leap into a song! Float around like a fool! Don a sombrero! Do all the insensible things that unfitting for a king! As you get bored from the silly antics, a letter manifested by green pops up. Like the rude neighbor you are, you read Twilight's mail. Gasp, as you read the name 'Risen Flagg', and Wake Up Twilight. Tell her to see this and explain what was buzzing on your mind, and ask her: What do? She might claim that it was all dream or admits she maybe is insane. If so, suppress your inner troll, and prove that it's real, delicately. While your first instinct is to leap back into the "Hey, listen," routine again, the last time you did that, Twilight destroyed a room, so you aren't gonna do it now. Plus, you kind of wanna be a little bit more creative. Maybe if some mail arrived from her you would read it, but unfortunately, no letters are coming in, which you find strange. Surely there is something going on in Ponyville that is worth reporting on. You don't know, maybe like the fact that Jason Morgan was just attacked by an elder abomination from the stars and now Risen Flag, the big baddy of this entire story, is in Ponyville right now waiting to do who knows what. Why yes, you are fully well aware of what is going on in this story. Thank you for asking. Pinkie Pie isn't the only one who can see beyond the fourth wall you know. But alas, no mail is coming in. Not right now at least, so there is no mail for you to read. Even if you wanted too. Suddenly though, you get another evil, POSITIVELY DISASTROUS idea. The first thing you do, is make the paintings disappear, and turn one of them into a sombrero to replace your crown for a moment as you float up in front of Twilight, and just give her a wink. That right there, that gets the exact reaction that you want. Confusion. After all that you've done so far, now Twilight is just confused, though she isn't trying to show it. She has no idea what you're going to do next. "Wah wah wah wah wah wah wah wah wah wah...." "Wah wah wah wah wah wah wah." Then, with that out of the way, you slowly turn around and float all the way up to Princess Celestia's face, humming the tune to "Winter Wrap Up," as you do. What can you say, it has a catchy tune. Then, once you reach Celestia's face, you turn around, and in a very sexy manner, you raise your left eyebrow at Twilight.... and then stick out your tongue. You watch as her expression changes from confused, to simply being angry now, as she knows what you are going to do. Yep... you can tell.... and you are going to do it. THE CRAZY MARE CAN'T STOP YOU! You lick Celestia on her snout. The look on Twilight's face is priceless. You could swear that if Celestia wasn't here, she'd be screaming right now. But you're not done yet, oh no. You get the idea to stick your butt on her face, but you decide against it because: 1.) You really have no butt. 2.) Come on, even you have standards. So instead, you float around by her right ear, and in a very sexy manner, lick it as well, which only causes Twilight to grow even angrier. You then move over a little bit and sniff Celestia's mane. Hmm..... strawberry.... not a scent you were expecting, but oh well. Twilight only grows even angrier at this. Suddenly, you get an even better idea as you float over and duck down behind Celestia's head and down her back. Your plan was to pretend to mount Celestia and pretend to ride her into the night, but, unfortunately, with Celestia being taller than Twilight and the angle she is staring up at her, she wouldn't have been able to see you even if you did to that. Which sucks cause this would have been the perfect way to end this. So instead, you just duck behind her head and let Twilight imagine all the "positively horrible things." you must be doing to her. This, unfortunately, means that you can't see her either, but hey, beggars can't be choosers. After you feel as if an appropriate amount of time has passed. You float above Celestia's head again, spinning like a ghost dancer as you do, open your mouth, take in a deep breath, and begin to sing- You consider to start singing "What Does the Fox Say?' to Twilight on a loop, but you decide that's a little too evil, even for you. Once she relents, start doing Ghost Stuff with Ghost Pinkie Pie, like singing the Ghost Sombra Song Sombra! Sing a mixture of Friday, the troll song, never gonna give you up, what does the fox say and the one piece English theme song. Looped. AND NOW!!!! It is time. For you. That's right YOU. The audience. To guess what horrible.... EVIL.... Song you think RazortheAwesome is going to make Ghost Sombra is going to sing to Twilight. Guess correctly, and you will get a free hug from RazortheAwesome. Answer incorrectly and you will get absolutely nothing, which is nothing more or less than you had before. Do you think he is going to sing. A.) The Fox by Ylvis B.) Friday by Rebecca Black C.) Never Gonna Give You Up by Rick Astley D.) The One Piece theme song E.) Sick Bubblegum remix by Skrillex F.) The Ghost Sombra song G.) The Troll Song To answer. Look deep into your heart, but not too deep or you might give yourself a heart attack, or worse. Bleed to death on the floor, and if you bleed to death on my floor, then you're cleaning it up. You have until the next paragraph appears to make your decision. Thank you for choosing. The correct answer is...... All of them. At the same time. Perspective Shift: Twilight Sparkle "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Perspective Shift: Rarity Rarity Be the dicks. Dicks Be Rarity. Really...... really...... You really want me to write this...... You do realize what this is gonna be if I do right? I mean, I can.... I totally can but...... The result would be WAY TO HOT and WAY TO SAUCY for a story like this. Don't get me wrong, I totally could write it, but..... yeah.... This story is rated Teen and we've managed to avoid showing things like this all this time for the sake of humor, and I'd kind of like to keep it that way.... ... ... ... ... ... ... Okay tell you what, we'll put it to a vote. If all you readers out there REALLY WANT ME to write this scene. I'll put it in a completely separate story and link you all too it when it's done. Unfortunately, it means I might have to delay this story for a few days so I can write that instead of this... So yeah... choose wisely. Perspective Shift: Jason Morgan -Dawn of a new day- You wake up on Lyra and Bon Bon's couch again after taking the rest of last night to recover and eat some pizza (which was actually quite good despite the fact that there was still no meat on it). You're still a little soar, but it's not nearly as bad as it was yesterday. You can totally move around now if you want. And before you ask, no you did not have any nightmares of any kind. In fact, you slept rather peacefully. So yeah, it's a new day, a new morning. What do you do? -Side Story- The Previous Night just before everypony went to bed -Ponyville- Sweet Apple Acres *Sweet Apple Acres* Big Macintosh went inside along with Applejack without notice despite his large size. He raised a brow as he saw Strongheart and Braeburn. Braeburn: We are in an errand. We are deliverin' a letter to one of our friend's friend who lives Ponyville. AJ: Why didn't ya send it to me and ask me to pass it along? B: I knew you are busy and ya and Ah both know how bad the Mail Delivery service is. 'Sides, it gives me an excuse to visit. Me and Strongheart are on vacation. Not much go'in on Appaloosa so Pops let me off easy for a week. And who better to visit than the pony gave me ol' Bloomberg? Applejack smiled a little at the last part, and looked at Little Strongheart who nodded in confirmination. It was a white lie. White lies are the Apples greatest weakness. Well, not to a well-trained operative. Before Applejack could say wether or not she accepted the explanation, Strongheart piped in. Little Strongheart: Now let's move on from the reasons— can we ask what in the ancestors happened back at the orchards? Now it's Applejack and Big Mac's turn to be nervous— and they just noticed the big red pony! Then out came an explanation, that confuses the AIA agents, about Jason the Human's gruesome fight, his abilities, and what he looks like. From there, the agents realized how similar it was to the aliens that watches over them, from above. (Been a while since I made a comment so long. And realized: when was the last time we made endless comment chains?) *Big Macintosh walks up next to Applejack without either of them noticing despite his large size and raises and eyebrow at Braeburn and Little Strongheart.* Braeburn: We're on an errand. We are deliverin' a letter to one of our friend's friend who lives Ponyville. AJ: Why didn't ya send it to me and ask me to pass it along? B: Cause Ah knew that you're busy and you and Ah both know how bad the Mail Delivery service is. 'Sides, it gives me an excuse to visit. Me and Strongheart are on vacation. Not much go'in on Appaloosa so Pops let me off easy for a week. And who better to visit than the pony gave me ol' Bloomberg? *Applejack smiled a little at the last part, and looked at Little Strongheart who nodded in confirmination. It was a white lie. White lies are the Apples greatest weakness. Well, not to a well-trained operative. Before Applejack could say wether or not she accepted the explanation, Strongheart piped in.* Little Strongheart: Now let's move on from the reasons, can we ask what in the name of the ancestors happened back at the orchards? *Suddenly both Applejack and Big Mac are nervous now, they both look like they knew what happened but have no idea what to say as they both try to look everywhere but at Braeburn and Little Strongheart.* AJ: Ahh..... uh..... um..... Ah...... *Big Mac remains silent.* *Suddenly, Granny Smith walks up out of nowhere, again, without any of them noticing.* GS: Ah horseapples, why do ya'll have to focus on tha reasins' and the why's and the bad things. It's not everyday we git a visit from our family out in Applaloosa. *Puts an hoof around both Applejack and Braeburn's necks.* We should be talkin' about the good things. They'll be plenty of time fer the reasins' and the other things later. *both Braeburn and Applejack are kind of surprised by this sudden turn, but after a moment they both relax.* B: Yer.... yer right. *Gently takes Granny Smith's hoof off of him.* Applebloom: Braeburn! *Applebloom comes out of nowhere and runs up to hug him. Again, without any of them noticing.* B: Ah jeez little cuz, you nearly scared me half tah death. Where'd you come from. AB: Upstairs. B: Ah guess that makes sense. It's good to see you. *Rubs her head a little.* *Little Strongheart, as much as she wants to know the truth, can't help but smile at the exchange between Braeburn and Applebloom and forget about it for a moment.* GS: Come on in. There's enough fresh pie fer everypony. *After that, Braeburn and Little Strongheart head back on into the house and spend the rest of the day touching base with Applejack and the others. There's no talk of assignments, Jason, or anything like that, just small talk. All catching up with each other. They're all having a good time. Eventually, when it's time to go to bed, there is a spare room for Braeburn and Little Strongheart, but unfortunately, its just one room, so they have to share it. It's kind of awkward for them, but they've been through worse, so they get used to it. Otherwise, they go to sleep, and wake up the next morning like everyone else.* *This story will continue with them in the present, aka, the next morning, the same time as Jason.* -Appaloosa- The AIA headquarters *AIA HQ* The scuffle with the computer problem has been a pain to with, especially when some of the Lab ponies have to complain about it. The Secretary trots in the Director's office with a letter levitated beside her. Secretary: Director, sir, I have a report ab- Sir? What are you doing. She looks around at the mess that consists of scrap electronics, cables, motherboards, and monitors. Obviously, somepony was attempting to build a computer. The Director in question is in the middle of it, fiddling with the devices. The secretary saw that one he was holding was faintly glowing in potent electricity. Grey Rebl: Computer science. S: The computer team is already working on the problem. You needn't worry yourself about it. GR: Well, they are not doing it fast enough! I'm going to teach myself how to piece together computer technology and then speed it up! The secretary noticed the way he was holding them. It is that of a scientist looking close to the result of a liquid under experimentation. S: It's not the same as chemicals and explosives, Director. Grey Rebl sighed. GR: I wish it is. Were you about to tell me something? She opens the letter and unfolds the contents. S: An unmarked crate has been discovered within our weekly supply drop today. It appears to be a strange device, big, cylinder, and it has a counting timer without a clock but with a glass display GR's ears perked in interest. S: It will be arriving here for close inspection in 15 minutes. GR: Well, this may be interesting. At least there is something to do. I'll be there. S: Sir, wait. There's more. GR: Oh? S: Remember the reports about ponies in town acting strangely yesterday? It's reported the same for Silverstar and his wife. GR: What is the testimony? S: It says here that Silverstar got out of break right after dealing with the ponies trying to see what's in the unmarked crate while his wife was at another part of town. They should've been spending time together, considering that it's what they always do when they have the free time. It's unlikely that they are trying something different. The operatives briefed with the case agrees that the investigation should be warranted into a class A. The AIA made a voting system to warrant a specific level of investigation. The levels are D, C, B, A, and S-A, with each higher grade level having more direct procedures and a stronger work force requirements from the other. The ponies of the AIA were trained to develop a survival instinct or a sixth sense, with earth ponies being the most strongest then the other sub species. Because AIA's operatives are mostly earth ponies, and very loyal and sworn secrecy at very high degree, this system gives the AIA cohesion. It works by asking a number of the work force about what they feel on a mission. Top secret, or private, missions are warranted by the Director or other leaders of the Equestrian Intelligence. For time since the AIA was established, it was extremely effective. A level "S-A" would be the equivalent of a national disaster. A level "A" is almost as close. GR: Our first class A... S: A capable team has already been selected. In my personal opinion, you should accompany them while our best team of researchers are going to look into this foreign contraption. GR raised an eye brow. GR: And if you are going to have trouble...? S: We have the aid of alien data as our last resort. GR: Heh. Looks like I have nothing to worry about. So, who's the humble pair that I will be tagging along with? *The director's secretary walks in with a letter levitating next to her, only to suddenly get confused as she walks right into a mess of all kinds of computer parts stashed all over the floor. It looks as if Grey Rebl was trying to build a computer.* Grey Rebl: Okay, so I just- Secretary: Director, sir, I have a report ab- Sir? What are you doing. GR: Computer science. S: The computer team is already working on the problem. You needn't worry yourself about it. GR: Well, they are not doing it fast enough! I'm going to teach myself how to piece together computer technology and then speed it up! *The secretary noticed the way he was holding them. It is that of a scientist looking close to the result of a liquid under experimentation.* S: It's not the same as chemicals and explosives, Director. GR: *sighs* I wish it is. Were you about to tell me something? S: Hmm.... Oh, right. *She opens the letter and unfolds the contents.* An unmarked crate has been discovered within our weekly supply drop today. It appears to be a strange device, big, cylinder, and it has a counting timer without a clock but with a glass display. *GR's ears perked in interest.* S: It will be arriving here for close inspection in 15 minutes. GR: Well, this may be interesting. At least there is something to do. I'll be there- S: Sir, wait. *She stops him from leaving.* GR: What is it? *Grey Rebl's secretary looks into his eyes. They're all red and bloodshot, and there are heavy bags under his eyes.* S: Sir, when was the last time you slept? GR: *sighs* You know I- S: When was the last time? *He wants to say something, but the pleading looks in her eyes calms him down a little bit.* GR: Three days ago. S: Three days! GR: Yeah. I don't need any sleep right now though, I just need to- S: Sir... You really should get some rest. GR: Didn't you just hear me, I said I could- S: Sir, you've been behaving erratically for the past few hours. It's making us all worried. What's going on? You can tell me. *There is an awkward silence between them for a moment.* GR: I just....... I'm just worried about Nana. I mean, it's been hours since we've heard from her or the aliens. I'm just.... What if something's happened up there? What if she's in danger? What if something's gone wrong and she could be- S: Director! *GR snaps back to attention.* S: I know you're worried, we all are, but you're not going to help anyone by getting as many parts as you can and trying to build a computer. Nana was designed to overcome any kind of obstacle and solve any problem. I'm sure she's working on a way to fix the situation on her end right now. Meanwhile, what we can do down here is just think positively and hope for the best. GR: *groans a little* I suppose you're right. S: You agree with me then, good. Now get some sleep. GR: But- *is stopped by his secretary holding up a hoof to silence him* S: Ah ah, no buts. You need to get some rest now mister. *starts talking in a semi-motherly tone* GR: But what about the device we- S: I'll have the lab boys look at it. There's nothing you need to worry about. Now go get some sleep. GR: *sighs again* All right. *GR walks out of his office and over to his quarters, upon which he just collapses into his bed and falls asleep. He really was tired.* *This story will continue the following morning, the same time as Jason, just like Braeburn and Little Strongheart are.* Time Unspecified Before any of you ask, yes, I do mean that everything that is going on up here is over the course of a very long period of time. Perhaps over the course of an entire day or longer. Unfortunately, keeping time up here in space is kind of a pain, so I'm just going to leave it like this until everything is all worked out. -The Dalek Flagship, The Caesar- The Port Side Hangar Bay BS: Guys, we have a slight problem. BRP* still focusing on not moving* what? BS: Don't panic, it's just that slender pony has just entered the shuttle bay and is very slowly coming towards us. BRP: While I can't move? BS: yes. BRP: and you think that this is grounds for not panicking how? Nana: 75% complete. BRP: Why didn't you just use the adapter? I know that you know about it now that you're in there Nana. Nana: I was just. Umm. BRP: Showing off to Hugh? Nana: NO! Well, maybe...just a little. 90% complete. BS: It's getting closer! BRP: Now would be a REALLY good time for RA to show up. *dimensional portal opens to the restaurant at the end of the universe. RA gets thrown through by 17 big muscly aliens. He isn't wearing his shoes, and it reveals some surprisingly feminine ankles. Another one steps out, throwing RA's shoes at him.* Big muscly alien #18: AND STAY OUT! *RA flips off the aliens as the portal closes* RA *plainly drunk off his arse*: Sho, Whut the hell ish gooing on? *Dalek Ship* (Does it have a name? I forgot after so long into this...) Nana: We're in. Steve: Good! Now let's get in before something turns us dead! Hacker 2: Oh, come on, Steve. We aren't going to die. Steve: There's something in here that could disable an entire fleet. I don't understand how that statement holds. Nana: Enough! Steve, stop wasting your air on complaints before somepony dies from suffaction. And Hacker 2, don't jinx it. We are already in a dangerous situation. BS: *to hacker 2* Shut up, Jimmy, and drink your juice! Jimmy (formerly known as Hacker 2): ...what? BS: Figure of speech meaning you're probably screwed if you don't use common sense. In other words, EVERYONE, GET IN THE SHUTTLES!!! (more to be added possibly later, when I have time.) *BRP and all of the hackers are still waiting for the shuttle doors to open. BRP is still focusing on not moving while Nana and Hugh Jackman get the door open.* Hacker 2: Hey you know what would suck? BRP: What? H2: If that Slender.... pony... thing, just happened to enter the shuttle bay and started very slowly walkings towards us right now. BRP: You mean while I can't move? H2: Yes. Nana: 75% complete. Bronze Statue: Then I suppose we'd be absolutely f*cked. Nana: 75% complete. BRP: *to Nana* Why didn't you just use the adapter? I know that you know about it now that you're in there Nana. Nana: I was just. Umm. BRP: Showing off to Hugh? Nana: NO! Well okay, maybe... just a little. 90% complete. Steve: Wow, way to add some light to this very real, VERY dire situat- Nana: *beeps as Hugh returns to her* Doors open! BS: *to hacker 2* Shut up, Jimmy, and drink your juice! Jimmy (formerly known as Hacker 2): ...what? BS: Figure of speech meaning you're probably screwed if you don't use common sense. In other words, EVERYONE, GET IN THE SHUTTLES!!! *BRP, Bronze Statue, Steve, Jimmy, all the other hackers run into the ships while the two Dalek escorts remain outside.* Nana: *On the coms to Chekov* Okay, were in the ships. Now where are those suits!?
