Part 2: Old Habits are Impossible to Break
GLaDOS is never going back to Aperture. That's the ugly truth. Plain and simple. She'll have to start a new life in Ponyville; get a job, make friends, find a special somepony and have fillies. You know, live 'The Equestrian Dream'.
Over her dead body, live 'the Equestrian Dream'. Well if that's the case, she must be half dead. When living in Equestria, you're bound to make a few friends regardless. Sure, they may not be the usual flavor of Pinkie or Fluttershy, but they're still friends. I guess GLaDOS just naturally attracts crazies. As for a job, well, considering real science is obsolete in a land governed by magic, GLaDOS flips between jobs consisting of working as the town therapist and at Sugarcube Corner.
But life in Equestria isn't complete without a little adventure. For GLaDOS, adventure is the equivalent of driving through the interstate blindfolded. She'll just lay low, stay in the background with the rest of Ponyville's humdrum deadbeats such as the shady Carrot Top and the sporadically dangerous Topsy Turvy.
Or maybe the Fates have a real sadistic sense of humor.
Because GLaDOS will soon come to realize that life in Ponyville isn't the relaxing solace she so painfully desires. Not by a long shot. There'll be many hardships she'll have to endure, both physically and mentally. Broken bones, stabs, burns, and getting your ass kicked in more ways than one are just at the top of the cynical mare's now-everyday life. Of course, pain isn't the only thing she'll experience. There are the beautiful parts of organic life that GLaDOS is just dying to live, such as attending a posh gathering of Equestria's snobbiest, crushing Lyra's childhood of anthropological studies in the blink of an eye, or getting caught up in the heat of Estrus Season.
But not everything is zany adventures for GLaDOS, I'm afraid. Her mind-cracks are getting worse every week. But that's okay. She'll take her mind off things by doing tests. Lots and lots of tests. Ranging from simple experiments like turning Fluttershy into a 'cold-blooded killer' to constructing the most horrid abomination ever conceived in Equestria's history.
What about redemption? Will GLaDOS (unknowingly) redeem herself? Did becoming an organic give her just a little more humility? Does a sob story and a few beneficial acts warrant atonement for her misdeeds? Who knows, and as far as she's concerned, who cares?
As all of this unfolds before her, GLaDOS begins to unintentionally rally the ponies against their once beloved ruler and the Elements of Harmony. Top that with Equestria's most notorious figures dropping like flies and Princess Celestia certainly has her hooves full. Has she truly met her match? Will GLaDOS end up being Equestria's reckoning or its savior?
I think we all know the answer to that.
(Told in an episodic series of events.)
Next Time: Alkeyhall-Glados celebrates 'the first day of the rest of her life' with Applejack, following the ancient art of 'The American' by getting piss drunk and just pouring out her bottled up feelings via bar fight.

Can't wait.
Just can't.

Best quote ever from patrick stewart,
Right behind "make it so number one"
So far so good. A well constructed story with real believable character. Honestly your work is fantastic and you need to know how much I appreciate a fic that is high quality on all fronts. Often authors will do stupid things 'because' but you have not and for that I thank you.
I also highly look forward to seeing how Glados deals with the mating season... Poor girl. I can see it going a number of ways and still be believable but they all sound hilarious. I can just see it now.
“So, all I have to do is mate and this feeling will go away? asked GLaDOS incredulously.
“Well,” said Rarity forming her words carefully, “I would say that it should lessen the, um, discomfort that you’re experiencing.”
“Then I will just have to find a quick mate yes?” Excellent! I can finally lessen myself of this distracting burn.
“No, GLaDOS. I don’t think you understand. You would most likely become pregnant and, um, well let’s just say I think we’re both on the same page in thinking that that is not the best arrangement.”
“Are you saying that you, ponies, with all of your magic and herbs never thought to invent birth control? The limits of your society are truly mind boggling. I mean really you all go into heat at the exact same excruciating time and you never thought, ‘Hey I have an Idea. How about we figure out how to not get pregnant so that we don’t have to deal with this shit and can deal with this…! You know what, never mind. I will deal with this myself like I have to deal with everything else.’”
Anyway, that’s just how I see it going.
celestia looks really naked without her neck collar.
Loved the story, great writing and a brilliant end to the first part.
Morality and redemption are a weird, illusive batch of concepts. To the point where anyone properly cynical enough is just gonna say, "to hell with it." Unfortunately, or fortunately depending on your view of the world, not many people are this cynical. Leading to all kinds of bellyaching. In other words, this should be fun.
I have never ever wrote a comment in capslock. I guess everything changes someday.
I WANT THE NEXT CHAPTER NOW!
Really? (It was still pretty funny.)
Can't wait for part 2. Dammit! I just waited. I guess I can wait. Gimme linky!
Thanks for getting our hopes up early!
Rising against Celestia and the Elements? Sign me up!
I'll be honest. I was really, really hoping the statue would fall on top of Glados when she started tearing into everypony. Making Twilight cry, then bringing up Celestia having to banish her own sister...those were low blows. Then again, I think that if anything's going to fall on her, it should be the Cockatrice in her living room in a manner similar to this:
I am glad, however, that she finally got told off. I think she really needed that. It helped her realize she's led a miserable existence.
Since GLADOS is essentially a computer, and I'm assuming she retains memories much like a computer, she should have a database of all the human knowledge. AND since, she was the one who started the portal project, (interdenominational one) wouldn't she still have all the knowledge from that, and ergo, be able to recreate it?
I need more fixes of ponified GLaDOS.
MOAR.
Repulsion gel is the blue stuff "Naturally," perhaps?
Therapist? Oh god...
Hory shet, UPDATE!
Glados in heat = DOOM. I can't wait.
What a wonderful sight to wake up to. My Little GLaDOs updated! Twice!

(Joke) Alt. Title: My Little GLaDOS: Want You Gone
I'm just making a note here, this has been featured. You probably already know that and I'm betting that it's hard for you to overstate your satisfaction.
or getting caught up in the heat of Estrus Season.
"and have fillies."
glados having a foal... not sure if that would be sad for glados or the foal...
2019250 No she can't that is the point of the entire chapter.
Glados: Humans made me.
Lyra: *swears off humans FOREVER*
2018971 It's technology that created the alt. universe project. Ponies don't even have basic cable.
2018971
Sure, but first she needs to earn the trust of the natives to get access to their super secret technological cache before making a way back home.
2019419 Wait, in a good way or bad way? Did I do a bad job?
Oh my God that adorable picture
2019484 Oh, Meeester. You slay me. Fedte is quite a talented artist, is he not?
I know I know I know I know I know I know I know I know space core
ig Glados is getting a foal she needs to be with a TF2 Sniper expy
I am so going to enjoy that. I can't wait to see GLaDOS when she's drunk.
Also Fluttershy's trying to get involved in Timberwolf matting season, dang that girl must be really desperate to do something like that.
aha so you did take my advice.
if you dont mind me asking what can we exspect story 2?
What about redemption? Will GLaDOS (unknowingly) redeem herself? Did becoming an organic give her just a little more humility? Does a sob story and a few beneficial acts warrant atonement for her misdeeds? Who knows, and as far as she's concerned, who cares?
.............................................nah....................by logic she shouldnt change......coz 'she IS what she IS'.........so what if she vented her stress out, good for her, it's all new to an A.I.(even if she is now a fleshbag)...she will only learn from it.
As all of this unfolds before her, GLaDOS begins to unintentionally rally the ponies against their once beloved ruler and the Elements of Harmony. Top that with Equestria's most notorious figures dropping like flies and Princess Celestia certainly has her hooves full. Has she truly met her match? Will GLaDOS end up being Equestria's reckoning or its savior?
She realy give a flying f**k about the world and those who live in it...all that matter is reaserch and tests.....And about being Equestria's reckoning or its savior....i think it depends on the flip of the coin and its side.....
But the most depresing part of this is no mater what we wright, say and post........last word that matters is the autors.....not ours
2019480
It was hard for me too.
It's like watching Justin Beiber, Rebecca Black, the Jonas Brothers, and the inventor of dubstep all getting spawncamped by a .50-caliber sniper rifle turret with infinite ammo. Brutal, but you just can't look away.
So... is this an epilogue, or a notice of a sequel story?
2020145 Thanks!
It's always nice to hear that you'll have friends who'll accept you no matter how much pleasure you take from their or others suffering.
This is quite possibly the best "trailer" I've ever
seenread. So epic. So promising. So fucking funny. I think you've outlined at least five different things that I am very, VERY eager to see. I absolutely positively cannot wait! Keep doing a totally awesome job!!are we entering into a new arc of glados or something
2019623
She's not trying to get involved, she's trying to aquire some rare potion reagents by posing as a tree in her tree costume in the hopes they'll take a pee on it.
... You know, that gives some fridge horror to the 'Hurricane Fluttershy' episode...
2020396 Indeed it does. Fluttershy might even be more crazy than GLaDOS.
So do we really need a Fluttershy to ruin the gala? Not really, no. But it would be icing on the chaos cake. Speaking of chaos. When is Gladdy going to learn about Discord and go and try to relase him? Of course unless you decide to make discord reformed. Cuz that works too. You know. Turning Glados' house upside down
2020531
Knowing Glados, she'd release Discord only to try to cut him up and examine what makes him different from the ponies.
*claps* That was epic, hopfuly, that which follows, (which you hinted it will) well be able ot match up if nto better. But may it even be only a faction of as good as this, would still be one of the best stories out there.
Humane is a concept of fools and youth, there is no humane man or woman... those are only cowards who shun truth.
Gentle breeze guide you home, and a warm smile to welcome your return.
So GLaDOS is gona be equestrias bane? cool.

MMMMMMMMMMMMOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR
Wait...... Can't Discord take her home? He kind of can do almost anything.....
Couldn't GLaDOS try and rebuild a new Aperture Laboratories? So far, somethings seem to follow normal physical laws. Since ponies all rely on magic, GLaDOS could recreate electronics, remake her old body; start over without stupid personality cores helping overweight, orphans wreck an expensive facility all to try and kill a being that only wants to test.
