Hmm, the odds of her being the real NMM just went down a lot, but I'm still not 100% sold on the horn being magnets- seems like an insanely complex piece of tech compared to everything else. Magnets don't do pinpoint power very easily, but I guess with society having custom rapid genengineering tech and dumb AI robotics in it's tech base it's at least in the general ballpark of 'this could maybe be' instead of being outright impossible. Still the most advanced piece of tech in the whole list IMO.
Love the dynamic of these two.
Very interesting lore for Midnight.
Had my bits on her being a proper unrestricted (and probably illegal) AI while regular bots were just sophisticated non-sentient software (or perhaps highly restricted/hacked up AI).
I think I like this version better because I wouldn't have guessed Pony Cyborg and I love a story that surprises me.
I've been waiting for this part both excited and filled with dread and I've got to say it still instilled in me the same emotions as before - happiness of how their relationship progresses and how they're there for each other, but at the same time the heart wrenching reminder of what Midnight's been through.
btw. congratz on Midnight returning to the featured(?) box at the main page (at least on my screen, dunno how that works)!
Is anyone else getting transformers Silas vibes from this or is it just me?
Huh..... was not expecting that for her true backstory. That's some fucked up shit. People trying to play God with bioengineering to that level sickens me tbh. I can get modifying whats already there, like making humans more resistant to disease and such. But creating an entirely new lifeform from scratch like that just to see if they can is fucked. Really curious as to how this situation pans out.
Holy shit, what a revelation!
But now there's more unknowns. It's she the only one that survived? Probably not. Is she the only one that's "not dumb as mud?" Who knows. So there's probably more out there and they could be in any situation, bad or good. Is this Teddy guy a friend of foe?
I am glad that Midnight got that out of her system. I'm also glad that John is just.... there for her. It feels like she just needs a break.
Love the story, can't wait for the next updates! (I'm still not going to read ahead by searching for the green text.)

"creating an entirely new lifeform from scratch like that just to see if they can"
No, not to see if they can. They did this for money. Big money. It's mentioned in this very chapter:
"It seems a few years ago, creating new critters for pets became a viable undertaking - and with that topic came enough pushback to get the practice banned before it supposedly took off"
Imagine being able to make and sell pets based on favorite characters from successful cartoons and animated movies that look and behave just like their show counterparts.
It's just a matter of corporations getting wind of new technologies and putting them to use before the government can react with proper legislation. Happens from time to time in our world too.
I like how the nicest thing she has called him is an insult even though she has said his name in the past.
Alright, so that video I posted in my comment before was more on the money than I thought. Now all we need is for John to say "I should go."

Been waiting for Chapter 12 just so I could reply this comment aged poorly lol.
No worries, just gave me a chuckle when I first saw it and knew what the future held
It's getting so good!!!
Man of everything cybernetics related, I was always the most squeamish about eyes. Can't imagine having to live with that, especially given that the new eyes might've never worked. Gave me flashbacks to that one episode of Invader Zim where we see the silhouette of a kid getting his eyes ripped out and replaced by messed up prosthetic ones
Really interesting way to carve out Midnight's origin story. Back at the beginning I was curious if we were gonna see her being 100% robot or just the actual nmm. Wasn't expecting this
Eeeeee all deh faves!!!! Midnight is best!!
Had some suspicions, glad it got confirmed.

I'll just slap on my tinfoil hat right now...
It goes without saying that governments and megacorps with the deepest pockets and darkest holes to hide this in would be hard at work cooking up all sorts of SciFi horror shows for the highest bidder or themselves. Why recruit flimsy humans when you can create a nearly unstoppable cyborg that will never question or refuse it's orders? Midnight here is only a few steps away from Living Weapon.
As for the mystery man, I'd like to think the author is gaslighting us with assuming the very worst in how both main characters act rightly paranoid. Maybe he's not so bad after all? I would assume that if he was from the gene splicers or similar, they'd have already sent in some hit team to take out John and capture Midnght...

For powerful living weapons you want robots/androids, not cyborgs. You can program the A.I. to be loyal and never question orders (results may still vary IMO). You cannot do that with cyborgs as they're living beings merely augmented by cybernetic implants. Best case scenario you can brainwash them to follow your cause (like cult leaders often do), but you're still risking them having a change of heart. Midnight is a perfect example of what your creation might think of you once they see past your lies.
They don't even need to kill or harm John. Just come in force, take Midnight, destroy evidence of her existence and leave John. Who's gonna believe some scrapyard owner crying how some men in black took his real life My Little Pony?

Just Look at Plum Island. they found corpses of unknown and definitely spliced monsters on the shore. Not to mention the release of a bioengineered species of tick (The Lonestar Tick) to spread lime disease. There's a lot we don't know about the government no matter the nation.
Nice, more relationship building also I hwr being a cyborg ? I totally knew it. Now I'm wondering 🤔 💠will they ever return to the junk pile she arrived in ..... or..... will "something" that's not quite dead crawl out and change the junkyard dynamics?
Also I'm pretty sure they didn't just stop with her so I'm guessing they have a more stronger and successful line of ponies compared to midnight that resemble the main six buts it's alot more "underground" so to speak
I don't think Theodore wants to be a threat. I suppose it's at least plausible that he was involved with the project and thinks of Midnight as an it, so to him maybe something horrifying like taking her back to the lab would seem like a good outcome to him. But if I were to guess, I think "well-intentioned brony in the know" fits the available information a little better. Though from a story point of view, we seem like we're about due for an obstacle to overcome. Which would make a better obstacle, Midnight being "discovered" and having to deal with authorities or her past or legal issues of ownership on record...or meeting more or her kind and having to awkwardly socialize with them?
Unrelated, would it be terrible if they used Midnight's powers to get rich? Surely they could find a way to use magnetic-based telekinesis that works through objects to make a lot more money more quickly than selling parts in a junkyard. If it turns out that she has a corporate owner of record and is listed as stolen property and the police show up to reclaim her...I wouldn't mind if these two decide to pull a bank heist and run off to some tropical island together.
Yeah, I figured she was at least part organic
Given Midnight calls him a pervert after this shouldn't this be "You do pretty a lot better than me" or "you do pretty much better than me" if he's saying she looks prettier than him
Midnight's
The phrase is fight on his hands
I'm glad to see Midnight opening up a little bit more and loving this story
I first found this story a few weeks ago, probably in the Featured box. It looked cool, but since I was in the middle of reading other stories, I added it to my "read later" thing. When I found it back in the Featured box last night, I decided to read it.
So far, I'm very much loving the story! I love your characterization of Midnight, and her friendship with John. I waited until this chapter to post my first comment because I was quite moved by Midnight's backstory. From the first chapter, when she talked about hunting for nourishment (and especially after she ate meat), I thought that she was a cyborg.
So she's at least partially organic then?
So she's a cyborg... Interesting... Explains the Sex tag too.
All things considered, this was a rather wholesome chapter.
Ha, called it!
Just because you're a cyborg doesn't mean you can't be tagged, but her unique status does pose some interesting challenges...
