"Listen here, young lady. I can either be easy or difficult you talk to. The way you talk depends on it." Said an officer. He and Gilda were in the interrogation room. Gilda didn't say anything as she slowly nodded. She did not feel joy in this at all, but she didn't feel remorse either. "First question. Do you know the severity of what you're group and especially you did?"
"I understand that I have killed someone," Gilda's voice was with no emotion. "But he was not intended victim."
"Care to explain who was?"
"It's a girl named, Sunset Shimmer. She has been posting everyone's secrets on MyStable and me and my gang wanted to teach her a lesson."
The officer thought about it for a moment. "So you're telling me, that because of a social media website, you resorted to violence and and tried to murder a teenage girl who posted your secrets?"
Gilda nodded. "I don't deny any of that."
"Now could you tell me how you were able to track her down and do you have any evidence it was her?"
"For the second question, I figured it was her because when you look at her profile design, it looks like her hair style. And for the first one, I put a tracking chip in her neck. That's how we were able to find her."
"And how did you get your hands on such a device?"
For the first time, a small smile appeared on Gilda's face. "Oh we had a bit of help."
The officer looked a bit confused. "What exactly do you mean you had help?"
"We had someone make that device for us? His name is Micro Chips. I know what he looks like."
The officer asked about Micro Chips appearance and Gilda told him everything.
"Whatever you do to me, you're going to have to do to him! He was in this too!" she told the officer.
"Miss Griffon, you do realize that because of what you did, you are facing up to a 15 year sentence behind bars right?"
When Gilda didn't say anything else. She was taken by a couple of officers. The one who spoke with Gilda turned to his partner. "I need you to see if we can get a hold of someone named Micro Chips over here. I need to question him on his part in this."
"Will do," his partner replied.

Micro Chips had just walked all the way home. He went inside. His parents were out at work so he was home alone. He set his backpack to the side and went into his room to process through his head, what just happened in the last few days. Ok, so I was the one who created the chip. There's no denying that, but maybe if I come clean...they might go easy on me? he went on the computer and when he opened up the browser, the first thing he saw was the murder incident. guess this was more big than I expected. He heard a knock on the door and wondered if his parents had just returned. He went to answer it when he saw it wasn't neither of his parents. It was a police officer.
"Micro Chips, We need you to come with us for some questioning regarding the murder incident that recently happened." he said.
Micro Chips felt a sudden dread in his stomach. "Please, you have to believe me! I had no harmful intentions!"
The officer thought about it for a moment and said. "Well if you come with us, we can talk about it. It's not safe to discuss it here where anyone can hear us."
Micro finally agreed and the policeman escorted him to the veichle. at least he wasn't in handcuffs which is a good sign. But that might change soon.

"Logan can I talk to you for a second outside?" Discord asked. Logan looked up.
"Um, sure..."
Logan went out into the hallway where Discord was.
"Listen, Logan," Discord began to say. "I just heard what happened a few nights ago, and I understand that you're going through a lot. I have a test in a few days, but if you want to take it after the winter break, I'd more than understand, so that way you'll feel a bit better."
"I'm feeling a little better," Logan told him. "In fact I think I might take it after school today." Is it multiple choice?"
"Mostly that and a few short answers."
Logan thought about it for a moment. "I'll take it after school today. Are we pretty much done with the unit?"
Discord nodded his head. "I'll be in the classroom after school whenever you're ready."
"Alright, well thank you." Logan said.
Poor Micro Chips. Here's hoping he doesn't get too punished. All in all, great work, as always! Keep it up, mellonin!
10957381 I think when the police find out that he did it under duress (from Gilda threatening to kill his parents and hang their heads on her wall), they'll likely go easy on him.
nice work

AFAIK, most smartphone models have some form of security suite, be it pincodes, patterns the user has to draw, and many other weird and wonderful ideas. Given Sunset clearly knows her way around technology, as she was able to create photoshops good enough to fool staff members in a few hours and assembled high quality YouTube videos in a similar timeframe, I find it hard to believe she would have no security on her phone whatsoever.

Three things come to mind.

1. Perhaps, though that doesn't explain away her clear skill in video editing and production. Also consider the fact she was able to hack people's phones and email accounts to send fake text messages and emails from them;
To do this, and fake messages so convincingly, takes a fair bit of skill.
2. I daresay I never came across that at school, but I imagine anybody subjected to that would change their codes or select something hard to guess (7669 is far too obvious; remember Sunset has been a human for so long she's forgotten how to do things unicorns find second nature).
3. If anything, that makes her more likely to have security on her device. If it got stolen and a student saw all the material on it, that would provide concrete evidence for the school to take action against her.
Even afterwards it makes little sense to disable it. The most common argument is 'Sunset trusts her friends, she doesn't need a code on her phone.' I trust my friends, and keep a pin on my phone. There's a difference between trusting your friends and being a complete idiot. Considering how Sunset was apparently able to hack email accounts and bypass phone security software, you'd think she'd understand the importance of having protection on phones and suchlike.
