Program... Running

Twilight Sparkle paced around the room. It was full of machines, things that whirred and hummed and buzzed, all doing different things. Mostly, it generated power - a strange kind of power - for a complex machine. Magic also helped this. There were magic machines as well.

"Twilight Sparkle."

A voice said in the distance. She looked, and saw a scientist running towards her. Dream Chaser, if she wasn't mistaken.

"We have the results for the previous test. Program 24." Dream Chaser said.

"Good." Twilight smiled. "How is the current test?"

"Currently, Program 3 is running. Shall we activate another for this test?"

Twilight looked at the monitors. Yes, it did seem like Program 3 was running. "Activate Program 57. Or Program 95. That will work too."

Dream Chaser frowned. "Twilight Sparkle... are you sure?"

Twilight looked at him. He seemed worried about the tests. Or upset.

"Please, just call me Twilight. Yes, I believe I'm sure." Twilight said, observing the monitors again.

"Alright, Twilight." Dream chaser said. He then called out to the scientists,"Activate Program 57! Twilight's orders!"

All the scientists looked at eachother. Nopony liked activating 57 or 95.

It was up to Twilight to make them want to. Or at least tell them they had to. She flew up to prepare a small speech.

"Listen, everypony. I know you don't want to do this, but it must be done. We've gotten through the 'happier' experiments. This is the last one we need to do in order for this to happen. I know it may seem cruel, or too complicated, even, but it must be done! For the Experiment!"

Everypony cheered, and began to activate Program 57. Pegasi flew up to machines and switched them on or off, unicorns powered magic machines to get them running, earth ponies turned heavy switches, many ponies of all kinds pressing many buttons on keyboards.

"Program 57... Running." said Dream Chaser. Everypony began to watch the monitors and everything else.
