"It's -12 in here!" Rarity said surprised. "Then why is this water not frozen?" asked Faint Heart. "Maybe it's not water" Rainbow Dash stated. "Maybe its alien piss" Applejack suggested. They walked down the dark tunnel. E.V.A.D noticed some carvings on the wall. Letters. They had a weird goo on them. He touched the goo to find it was incredibly sticky. "Impressive" he said silently. They weren't just letters. They were buttons. He examined them and then pressed it in an order. At first nothing happend but then a holograph triggered. There was a slight hissing sound. "What the buck was that?" asked Applejack. "E.V.A.D?" Twilight was getting uncomfortable. "What is that?" Holographic projections of some kinds of alien ponies started running down the tunnel. Away from something. They ran through E.V.A.D and the rest of the crew jumped to the sides of the tunnel, letting the projections through. One of them looked back. "What the hay is that?" Applejack said slowly. "Are you glad we didn't bring any rifles?" Rainbow Dash asked a hint of fright in her voice. Fluttershy was really scared by this. "Whose idea was that?" Rainbow asked. Twilight and Faint galloped in the direction the alien ponies had gone. One of them fell while entering a closing gate and got decapitated. Sure enough, his headless corpse was there. "Oh Celestia" Twilight said "We found them"
Rainbow Dash was scared and angry "What do you mean 'them'?!"
Faint stared at the gate. "looks like... a door? And he's been decapitated by it"
"Son of a diamond dog..." Trixie remarked from back on the ship "They were right" Spike laughed upon hearing this. "What? Did you want them to be wrong?"
There were alien letters carved all around the gate. "E.V.A.D... please tell me you can read this"
"Perhaps" the golem responded. Rainbow was on her breaking point with uneasiness "I'm out of here" She said turning away. "Hey Rainbow where you going?" Twilight asked her.
"I'm gonna go back to the ship if you don't mind" Rainbow said now more angry than afraid "Anypony wanna join me? Huh how about you Applejack? Do you wanna stay here?"
"Nah. Ship's good" Applejack responded. "And how about you Fluttershy?" Rainbow asked. "Ship" Fluttershy squeaked. With that the three of them went the opposite way of the group, Leaving only Faint, Twilight, Rarity and the golem. E.V.A.D got to examining the text while the rest of them examined the body. "Do you have the carbon reader?" Twilight asked Faint. He handed her a cylinder device with a needle which she stuck into the body. "How longs it been dead?" Faint asked her. "two thousand years" she responded. While they had been studying it E.V.A.D had been pressing some letters which were actually buttons. "What are you doing E.V.A.D?" Twilight asked him. "I'm attempting to open the door" he responded
"Wait!" Twilight said "We don't know whats on the other side." The door opened "Oops. sorry" E.V.A.D said plainly. The first thing Twilight noticed was the decapitated head. "Look! It's the head." The head had a sort of tube coming from the mouth. Rarity and Twilight both looked at the head while Faint noticed the giant pony head made of rock. The ground was made of dirt and there were a lot of worms. E.V.A.D looked up at the ceiling and saw murals. "Beautiful paintings" He commented.
"It's a mural" Twilight said while examining it. The room was full of small canisters. E.V.A.D was about to take the lid off one when Twilight stopped him "Don't touch anything"
"Sorry" He responded. He noticed the canister was 'sweating'. Twilight walked up to a strange mural on the wall and stared for a moment. E.V.A.D opened one of the canisters when no one was watching examined the weird gooey liquid inside. There was some... THING in there. The goo was moving around slowly. It started to flow out of the canister like blood. "Organic" He said to himself. Twilight noticed the murals changing "Oh no" she said "Faint, the murals are changing. I think we've affected them... Oh the head..." She galloped towards the entrance of the gate where the head was. "Quick! Help me bag the head.
Outside a major storm was brewing. "Captain" Pinkie Pie said to Spike "We got an incoming storm. Silicon and glass. This is not good" "I see it" Spike responded. He then talked to the team down in the dome "There is a major storm front coming and we think it's gonna last a while. You better hurry. Twilight and Rarity were just finishing bagging the head "Copy that sir. But we need more time here"
"I'll being closing the outer doors in fifteen minutes" Trixie told them "I hope you can make it"
"Faint! E.V.A.D! we must leave now!" Twilight shouted. E.V.A.D was taking one of the canisters by stuffing it into a bag. Faint was still studying one of the murals "E.V.A.D?" Twilight shouted. He was just finishing putting it in and got up to go to Twilight. "Lets go!" shouted Rarity. Faint finished studying it and galloped to the gate. As they were leaving no one noticed that the dripping black goo from the opened canister was gathering into a small pool around it and morphing into something.
