Organic Ponies would be horrified but to the cybernetic PONIs it's like, "Eh, don't worry; this is normal. Want to become a PONI, Twilight?"
8673625 Except they can't talk.
Interesting to see that they managed to get nearly a million foals/PONs and they they seem to come in about all types of personalties; they don'T see to be interested in the past but that is normal for first generation of a new life style and have absolutely no qualms in turning into PONI's. So it seems that Jetset and Crust finally realized how they had change and ho they didn't bat a metaphorical eye of how horrible of what happened to them after they were converted, and lost parts of themselves that they didn't realized was missing all this time and seem to be interested in getting some of it back. Still surprised they isn't any form of resentment and just come to terms with it on an intellectual level. Now I wonder what will happen next.
8673826 There will be some more in upcoming chapters on Jet and Upper's constant struggle not to impart old thinking on their foals. Becoming a PONI is just part of growing up, and would be seen in a similar light to PON as gaining a cutie mark.
8673628
they should really fix that
8674059 It hasn't really been a problem so far. Communicating via interrupt is so much easier.

"I'm worried about these strange mechanical ponies, Luna. They are ponies and seem to want to help us--but we can't talk to them and they can't talk to us. What can we do?"
8674150 "Well, we could ask Twilight not to bounce excitedly every time they are nearby."
8674155
Luna watched as one of the cybernetic PONIs bounced by instead of walking. "I'm afraid it's too late, sister. Pinkie already got to them first!"
8674182 Or did Pinkie get converted too?
TO THE STAAARRRSSSS!!!!!!
8674303 Yay!
Eeeeee! They're modular! And now we have that song playing on repeat, whoops...
It's interesting they keep no importance on their Cutie Marks. Maintaining external identifiers can have benefits to the disconnected...
Keep going! ;)
8674675 Nifty song, but they aren't going far enough. They need higher efficiency!
And now I wonder how long it takes until some PON or PONI designs a PONI-chassis that in and of itself is a starship[or at least capable of both escaping and reentering equus without other assistance].
Would be interesting to see a race between such a PONI and RD[specifically a verical race: whoever can climb the highest in the shortest amount of time]. Specifically what effect being outclassed would have on RD. Would she accuse the PONI of cheating by not being organic? Or would she desire to become a PONI?
8676114 Think bigger.
8676161
A Dyson PONI?
8676168 Shhh...
8676173
Meh, one can still go bigger.
Condense all mass of the galaxy into 1 giant PONI-chassis
8676176 At a certain point the latency of data traveling around the chassis would render the PONI nearly impotent for anything approaching normal reaction times.
8676179
That is why PONI-Ω will be the home of a PONI crew, which would be responsible for things that need quicker reactions and PON-intelligence.
If all the AIs are doing is using UpperCrusts DNA to make foals and the foals DNA to make more foals then that would become incest eventually.
Therefor they will have to expand the gene pool, witch would mean getting another pony or at least some DNA.
Are they going to have to go back or will there children be sent and find out about what ponies are like when in equestria?
8676810 It will be hinted at they are using gene modification to ensure that there are no negative traits being passed along. The only reason such breeding is bad in real life is that recessive, problematic genes will quickly become the only possible result. The machines have technology to correct for this.
Aww... what about pegasi? No one there ever seen such PON type. Even Aggie. What would be the reaction to those wings? Especially such wings, that by all physical means can not lift that body off the ground but nevertheless doing it.
8677294 Wait and see.
In an earlier chapter you mentioned that you tries to lean towards the hard sci-fi route and opted for no FTL travel. I'm curious to know how gravity was simulated aboard the Spheres, is it through centrifugal force or did you pick the more handwavy dark energy/magic option?
Edit: ah, it's mentioned a couple chapters later.
YES FINALLY I was waiting for this revelation.
NINE HUNDRED THOUSAND
*chokes*
Woah nice.
Woo!
9239965 You say "emotionally stunting and debilitating", we say "this is interesting, how could we use it?"
A happy day indeed, congratulations are in order for the newly christened PONI-2!
She's totally a brainship now, isn't she?
