Domination of Equestria - T+49 days.
This was stupid.
Really, really stupid.
I mean, I’ve heard of hazing rituals, but this just took the celestial cake.
It had started that morning when I arrived to pick up my papers for the first day on the job.
“Let's see, Pegasus, messy computer terminal for a cutie mark...Miss Dusty Breeze?”
“That’s me!”
“You’re expected. Here are your papers and your access pass. Do I need to explain what will happen if you lose that pass?”
“You’ll tear my wings off?”
“Oh good. You have read the prep manual already.”
Oh Celestia I was joking!
“It’ll say on the bottom of your papers there where you’re going.”
“Ok, thank you.”
Now, where is it I’m supposed to go? He said the bottom of my papers. Let’s see here…
“Sewage overflow!?”
“Hahahahaa! You must be new here.”
“Oh, um, yes, but there seems to be some mistake, I’m supposed to be the new computer analyst, why would I be assigned to sewage?”
“Hehehe, must have pissed someone off. Here, we keep some rain coats in the cupboard here. You can borrow one.”
“A raincoat!? What happens in there?”
“Let’s just say Discord would be proud of the ‘Chocolate Rain’.”
I think I’d nearly passed out right around then.
Well, here I am, Sewage Overflow Containment Chamber.
Yuck.
At least I’d met some kind ponies on the way.
Along with my coat, I now have a bucket, an extra large splash hat, and thick boots.
Hurrrnnngggg. I was looking forward to doing computer analytics too! This isn’t fair!
This isn’t what I signed up for!
Oh well, I can’t afford to back out now. I need the work. Any work I guess.
Even if it is dealing with…..ewwww…
Ok, breath in...breath out. Let’s go!
“Ah, you must be Dusty Breeze.”
“I...um...Yes Sir!”
“Good attitude. I need to ask though, why are you dressed like that? Computer Analytics is a rather dry, and dare I say it, dusty post.”
Wait what?
This is….It’s huge! And all the terminals, and...do I smell mint?
“This...isn’t Sewage Containment?”
“No, you’re in the right place, but here Sewage is a pseudonym for important information.
In other words, welcome to the Master Control room.”
wat.
“Never follow any signs to the control room though. That should be in your pack somewhere. Very important to keep in mind in your first few days. Now, why don’t you take off your coat?”
Overlord Rule No:65 If I must have computer systems with publically available terminals, the maps they display of my complex will have a room clearly marked as the Main Control Room. That room will be the Execution Chamber. The actual main control room will be marked as Sewage Overflow Containment.
