//------------------------------// // 100,000 Years // Story: Halo: Harmony's Mantle // by That Forerunner //------------------------------// "Vexation! 100,000 years of careful maintenance and diligence! 100,000 years protecting Equis's future! 100,000 spent fearing that our sacrifices were in vain." The small indescribable holographic A.I told himself as he then pulled up a purple holographic map of Equestria, as he drew his attention to the small town of Ponyville. "Oh have been watching you for quite some time now, Twilight Sparkle." The A.I then zoomed in onto Ponyville, zooming in on Twilights castle. "You and your friends have built quite a reputation for yourselves, saving Equestria multiple times, and the planet itself, of course, if it weren't for my guidance, you wouldn't be were you are today." The A.I pointed out to the now holographic projection of Twilight Sprakle, as he chuckled. "But of course, the weapons you use, the "Elements of Harmony" you aren't even aware of their true origin, oh your reaction when you find out, if that day is to ever come Twilight." The A.I pointed out to the hologram as he zoomed out of Ponyville and back to the map of Equestria. With that he zoomed in on the area around Appleloosa. "The Buffalos." The A.I told himself, as he watched live surveillance of their camp and watched the Buffalos around the camp. "I have watch your every action for the past 100,000 years, a quite exciting history in my opinion." The A.I pointed out to the screen, as he turned his attention to one Buffalo on the projection. "And you, Little Strongheart, you have a very interesting future ahead of you." The A.I told the live projection of Little Strongheart on the screen. The A.I then zoomed out of the entire surface of Equestria and then came face to face with the entire planet of Equis. "I have watched over every single living being and events on this planet for 100,000 years, of course, I doubt "they" would not be happy once they see what Ponykind has turned into, I'm rather disappointed myself. Especially her, she be the most disappointed, and possibly angry." The A.I pointed out to himself, as he dreaded to see "their" reactions to Ponykind's current state. "Oh? What is this?" The A.I curiously said to himself as he saw a beeping blue light on the planet where Canterlot would be located. "A rather unusual Slipspace Disruption? Wait, curious." The A.I told himself as he pressed the flashing light and started a scan on the Slipspace disruption. After thirty seconds of making sure the scans were correct, he concluded that the results were not fake. "Curious indeed! After all these years! A Forerunner! Although these scans match the transport signature of the Ur-Didact! This is very exciting, I shall contact him at once, but how? The communications have been offline for 90,000 years...that's it! I shall began the process immediately." The A.I told himself, as he closed the holographic projection of Equis and pulled out another holographic panel and began working on his plan to contact the Didact.
