Technological Revolution

by sgt Cutting Chipset


Knowledge untold

Three weeks passed since unsuccessful party. From this time I tried to avoid contact with any sort of ranged weaponry to not scare anypony anymore. Twilight taught me about their culture and magic, and I taught her about our technology. She was most interested while I was talking about transportation and electronics.

We both were showing what were we talked about in practice. While Twi was showing how magic here works, I showed her our machines part to part, physics laws, various substances, our wildlife, and even example code in Java on my screen. She enjoyed it so much.

As time passes, the rumors about me being some kind of alien became louder and louder. Besides that I still gave lessons to ponies whose aren't busy with work. The pattern of lessons was simple: ponies voted for category they would like to hear about from list I gave them, and topic of those lessons was chosen by majority. The average time of those lessons was between one and two hours. In rare occasions, especially human anatomy it was almost four hours long.

Most of those listeners were ponies whose they are or were in university. Twilight was one of them but due to her princess duties she wasn't very often. Instead of her I saw Lyra who saw me first time in hospital. I must say, she was very active, especially during anatomy lessons.

One day, it was nearly before my lessons until I heard a sound of notification. It was not what I expected when I opened notification box.

> Princess Celestia (ID 2482) requests you to teleport to:

Accept (Y)
Decline (N)

"Gah, where it could Celestia send me to?" I asked myself before I opened map script.

Looking at left doorknob in main doors

"So, you want me to an audience? 'Kay." I accepted teleport request.

With a blink of eye the view instantly changed. I was looking at the doorknob attached to large wooden doors with golden ornaments.
"Damn, it is very accurate." I said to myself.

"I hope we don't disturb with your considerations."

I turned around to see Princesses Celestia and Luna. Two alicorns, one taller, one shorter. One with sun on her flanks, one with moon. They rule Equestia with their powers to move sun and moon and wisdom they gained through centuries. The rulers of land are friendly to their inhabitants, but when it comes to exeption, they are determined.

I came closer to princesses to be about seven feet away from them, then bowed.

"I am engineer Cutting Chipset. Nice to meet you personally."
"Me too. I am Princess Celestia, and this is my sister, Princess Luna."
"I'm wondering why you brought me."
"We have to ask you few questions regarding the place you come from."
"I'm listening."
"First, how you, humans and your planet looks?"

I turned my screen on to show princesses how the planet Earth looks. I also showed most popular species on my planet, including ourselves.

"From what I know, people tend to be greedy and egoistic. We need to prepare ourselves until they do this."
I changed screen to city somewhere in China with many skyscrapers with crowded streets where many people wear masks because of smog.
"Humanity caused exinction of many species, high air, water and earth pollution, biological degradation, global warming and few other disasters partially caused by them. This will happen if we'll do nothing when portal will be open to everyone."
"This really happened to your place?"
"No doubt. We need to prepare ecologial and economical laws if you want to keep the beauty of this place. I'm also only source of human culture, so I know what they'll may do."
"Can you prove us authenticate movies you showed us?" Princess said after short hesitation.
"Of course."

Princesses viewed my animation which it was made of imagining view of data I've collected so far. The movie was a bit speedy because I thought I don't have to much time on audience.

"It looks really real. What do you think, sister?"
"I agree. Well, we also considered about you. What do you think to be an Earth ambassador?"

My mind froze for a while to possess what I heard.

"You've gotta be kidding. Me? An ambassador? In a pony body? No way."
"We will prepare you to this job."
"What about my body?"
"Is it necessary?"
"Yes, it is. They may think I'm a sort of stranger that wants to represent humanity without any knowledge about them."
"Can you show us how do you look?"
"I'll try."

Trying to access my memory about my look the familiar message appeared.

"Dammit. Not again."
"What's the matter?"
"Image is encrypted. Unless I don't enter password I can't show you that."
"What do you mean 'encrypted'?"
"Some time ago I found program called EquOS in my mind with admin access. I could do anything except commands which required special password like this."

Sisters stared at me, later on ourselves, and again at me. Then some kind of smoke passed nearby heading towards princess Celestia. She opened the scroll and read it. After short consideration she stared at me again.

"The prophecies were true..."

A prophecy? What kind of prophecy? Were those about me?

"What, a prophecy?"
"Want to hear it?" I nodded.

The pony that came out of nowhere,
says he comes out of there,
the magic guides his way
despite his world couldn't get it anyway.

He will live with six friends
to not get in the sudden ends,
with knowledge better than ours
he will rule the lands of ours.

Until he gains a harmony
he will be treated as nopony,
if someone gets through
tell everypony that prophecies were true.
