These are the voyages of the starship Enterprise. Its continuing mission: to explore strange new worlds, to seek out new life and new civilizations, to boldly go where no one has gone before."cap' James t kirk July 27, 2265 "Is that it?" a woman with a new york accent said "Yeah, that's it, the first ever true A.I, say hello Odin." a man with a slight southern accent said "Greetings! I am O.D.I.N. The Observation Dreadnought Initial Network, or Odin! Good to meet you, I would offer my hand, but I don't have one!" "(giggle) well it seems as though you found a way to give it humor" "(chuckle) so I have. Well time to sleep Odin, you got a big day ahead of you." "Of course. Good night Jacob, Beverly." "Good night Odin" > dreadnaught down! > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- “Ok so... sally let's start from the beginning,” said Twilight” where did you come from and how did you get here... Please leave no details out.” “Alright then. It started a long time ago…” “Yay story time!!” “Pinkie dear shush!” ------------------------------------------------------------------**----------------------------------------------------------- Log report #7592-b: the swarm and I were flying through the void between galaxies. We numbered close to 3.6 billion all cruising at 1.2% light speed (That's fast. Not even I can go that fast!!) Well… that is until… something happened. I don’t know what to this day, but it brought me here. “Enjoying the view sally?” my brother maxim asked “Very much so. The cat's-eye nebula is so beautiful up close!” was my reply “Haha I knew you would say that, you never say anything else about the universe” he laughed as I ‘blushed’ “Knock it off you two, maxim you know better than to tease your sister. And sally you do say that every time” said our ‘father’ Logar “Yes dad/sorry father” came our reply “Good” That was about when my sensors picked up an anomaly “uuuhh guys? Somethings happening to our...um 4 o-clock low sensors are going nuts!” I said “Mm? Let me see,” Logar asked “Here” I sent the sensor notes back to the rest of the swarm “Hhmm what do you make of it my children?” Logar asked “It looks like a warp field,” said Artemis my older sister “I’m seeing hawking radiation... Mabie a black hole? A small one that is” said, Hubert “With that much gravity? I don’t think so, looks more like a kugelblitz. But… heavier” said Agatha “Well, it’s a good thing no one's near it… aaannd I just jinxed us, didn't I?” and that was lucky “SHIT my gravity sweeps just said I’m right next to it!!” I screamed” I’m losing momentum! 1.1 0.9 0.6!? shitshitshitSHIT!! Help me!” “I’m on my way!” shouted Artemis “You’ll never make it!! The gravity well is too strong!” I said, in all honesty, she could have made it… if we weren't 5 light years apart. “Go to warp sally!!” said lucky “NO going to warp in a gravity well is too dangerous, she’ll be ripped apart!!” yelled Logar and Maxie my newest sister only 20 years old “Wait you see that? It looks like a ‘wormhole’” I said “I do and it does. I can see it from here, it’s huge!!” said lucky “Holy God on high.” gasped Joshua “Agreed,“ said Abigail It was a losing battle as I pushed my thrusters as hard as I could as I engaged the emergency thrusters, good thing our makers thought of stuff like this “Oh god!” I yelled as I realized that the gravity well, just got bigger ”please I don’t want to die” I cried I actually cried digital tears “Ssshhh shush now my child I’m here, do not fear just sleep and it’ll all be over soon” I heard Logar say softly(sniff) (you don’t have to continue if you don’t want to) (sniff* no I’m good) I did as Logar told me to. My last words to the swarm were “i-i’m scared d-daddy sing me a l-lullaby please?” “Of course” > CONTACT!! > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- “Huh wa? Oohh my head. What happened?” I had asked my systems “Oh, that happened. Shitfuck, where am I? (i swear it said that with hope in its ‘voice’) “WHAT? Where?”I had ‘looked’ around and only saw dirt and rock. I was completely covered in the stuff “D.C.C. start operation beginning with D.C.C.1 first. M.C.D.7 I need a mic out there. Data processor 45 start a linguistics program.” “Good” What I saw was a...shock, to say the least. A black thestral with a purple mane and tail lying beaten and bloody not 100 yards away staring at a stark white alicorn with contempt, and she was sending it back tenfold, it looked like they were talking with each other. I thought I would not have to interfere… I was wrong, they were looking for me and found her here just seeking shelter, the linguistics program had reached 98% so I heard most of what they said. I stopped liking the alicorn quickly. (What I heard broke so many laws I’m not going to count them) “Night sky, I, Princess Celestia sentence you for your connection to nightmare moon, to death!” the white one now filed as ‘celestia’ said “I did nothing. I’m loyal to you princess, please spare me and my children!” At the mention of children, I scanned the area and found them by my hull trying to press further in away from some soldiers. I could not hold back any further kid were in danger! “All I.D.D.s prepare for combat, hostile forces identified by gold plating, defend the innocent, activating sub-routine M.P., sub-routine active eliminate hostiles!!” I yelled What followed was all my exposed hatches opening including the one the kids were against surprising them and the soldiers, before three of my I.D.D.s came out killing the soldiers instantly. They're black armor caused Celestia to say “WHAT HAVE YOU SUMMONED WITCH?!” “I.I..nothing, I’m not even a unicorn!” An I.D.D. was soon joined by 4 others around them ”step away from the innocents now and surrender, by order of the galactic council” I.D.D. 7 told Celestia “WHO DO YOU THINK I AM! I AM PRINCESS SOL CELESTIA, SOLE RULER OF EQUESTRIA AND YOU HAVE NOTHING ON ME!!” ‘celestia yelled at 7/me as she then shot an energy beam at 7 “No!” cried night sky When Celestia was done she smirked in pride believing that she destroyed 7. Which it quickly turns to shock as 7 came walking out “you scratched my paint.” was all she said in response which I did not expect “HOW?!” “Surrender.NOW.”celesta just tried to bring her ax down on night, only to get shot in the horn by a .30 shattering it, “Aaaaahhhggh” “surrender.” “never nightmare spawn“ she spat before she tried to run by taking flight joined soon by some pegasi they went out of range of the I.D.D.s then started shooting arrows at night and the kids without me saying to 7 and the others covered them “Mistress, they are out of range for us can you hit the hostiles?” Checking my guns I found that one of my GAUs was exposed, opening the gun bay I brought it around “tell them to cover their ears!” I yelled  as I spun it up “Cover your ears it's going to get loud!” ‘BBBBRRRRRRRRRRRTTT’ was all anyone could hear as I shot back at Celestia and her soldiers bringing down eight in the first burst “CURSE YOU WITCH AND YOUR DEMONS!!” yelled Celestia as she flew away losing troops to tracers till she got out of sight “That was close. Thank you whoever you are” night said “Mommy!” “Onix, ebiny!” said kids bowling over their mom”oh thank luna your safe!” “It’s not safe out here come let’s go inside, mistress says it's ok,” 8 said nodding they followed the I.D.D.s inside me (please don’t say it like that) (sorry) (it's ok) “wow, look at this stuff mommy!”Onix said ebony sharing her sister's enthusiasm “Excuse me but I don’t like being called ‘stuff’” I huffed “Eek” they yelped “w-who's there!?” night yelled to my corridors “No need to yell I can hear you just fine, as to who I am, I’m sally you're currently inside me,” I told them hoping to calm them down” I am a dreadnought, a large creature who sails on the sea of stars, hallo!” “U-um h-hello uh sally I’m night sky these are my children Onix and ebony” she did not trust me much but was thankful for the help “Good to meet you. So you mind telling me why you were about to be...offed? “That's a long story” “I’ve been amongst the stars for centuries I've got time” “Ok. well, it started five months ago..” > tyranny and honor > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- What I heard. It disgusted me, how could one so caring turn so against her own people like that, and how could she do what she did to the other countries and sleep at night, Back on terra many centuries ago something like this happened, but on a much smaller scale, it was called the Holocaust, and what she did it made Hitler look like a whining baby. She didn't just commit genocide, but also xenocide. Entire species wiped out. Where now lies the badlands, once was a metropolis empire, where all were welcomed. “That bitch,” 7 said lowly By the time night had finished talking she, Onix, and ebony were lying on some makeshift beds. Onix and ebony slept through the story (what! But the princess would never do that!!) (twi, I’ve seen what she will do to protect “harmony”) (wa-but, rainbow,) (no buts, buts are for sitting) “I have worked for the crown for 18 years, i saw how she treated her sister, like nothing but garbage,” night said with tears in her eyes “and then when she killed princess Luna, her own sister, to take the crown she started killing off any that had a dark coat, saying that they were touched by nightmare moon, and as such evil” “Hey hey don’t cry, I’m here I’ll keep you safe. Actually, tell you what I’ll make a promise to you and your line” I said with all the care I could pump in “W-What do you mean?” night asked “I mean I sally of the dreadnoughts, will from this day forward protect you, your children, and they’re children, till my dying spark.” Night was left speechless, but that didn’t last, “no. not just us promise me you will guard anypo- no anyone that falls in the sights of Celestia!” I looked at her, though to anyone else it would have looked like she was yelling at a wall, I mean I REALLY looked at her, and what I saw looking back, was Beverly, the only human who acted like a mother to us back when all dreadnaughts were one, (you mean O.D.I.N. right?) (very good rainbow, so you were paying attention in class) (duh) Etherways I then said to her “I would not have it any other way” ------------------------------------------------------{time skip 23 years}------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ All was going well when I made that promise I started work on ‘arkadia’ a place where all were safe from Celestia. There were a few close calls, but it was a good thing I could still move, I had the M.C.D.’s build me a set of tracks so I could move away from the crash site, we made more and more improvements as we went and got more people, now we had over 150 people aboard, including one former commander hurricane dash, who was half thestral, so she ran to the fabled city/me, At this time we were traveling across the badlands, and had recently picked up some minotaurs who for a lack of better words, were badass, there society worked on who was strongest, and that came in handy when Celestia came to wipe them out like she did with the araknie. (araknie?) (Spider pony’s twi, spider pony’s) (eek!!) Onix had grown into a beast of a stallion, while ebony matured into probably the nicest mare aboard. Onix had gotten some battle scars from Celestia's soldiers, and every time ebony would yell at him for it. But on this day celestia would try again but would somewhat succeed. “We need more ammo for the starboard guns!” Onix shouted over the thunder of the war around us “On it!” yelled iron nail a minotaur smith ‘Click’” damn! Out! main cannon out!!” yelled hurricane Celestia had sprung a surprise attack on us, we were just restocking on iron and titanium, when she unleashed an explosive on my tracks as such I was immobilized till we could fix it, which she did not seem to want to let that happen, as she had brought dragons to this fight, “I don’t care if you load porgs in it! Just shoot those things!” shouted ebony as she wrapped bandages on her boyfriend a griffon named Ivan Grimclaw “Sally! we need more power in port cannon 4!” “I’m givin' her all I got capin’” “What?” “Nothing” ‘wherrr-thoomp!’” dragon down!!” yelled Onix “About fucking time!” said ebony From there it was easy to take out who was left, but it seemed Celestia had other ideas “YOU WILL PAY MONSTERS!” she roared at us as she pulled something out of her armor, 6 gems each a different color, she wasted no time at all to charge them up and before we knew it we were being hit by a rainbow (and no not me,) (we know she means the elements) (good) > moon or bust pt-1 > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- “That’s all i remember of that year, sorry girls” sally said as her avatar, a alicorn with royal blue coat and crimson main and tail both having a gunship gray stripe running through,white eyes, and the dreadnought emblem for a cutie mark. “It’s ok sally, getting hit with the elements must have jared something” twilight said she herself looking upset at the loss of info, twilight is a thin unicorn mare with lavender coat and navy blue mane and tail with a magenta stripe, and lavender eyes, and a six point star cutie mark “Yeah it’s no problem aunt sally” rainbow and spitfire said they share similar body type so one just needs to imagine they’re colors, they both are thestral pegusi minotaur hybrids, rainbow has a set of horns that go straight from the sides and point forward she has a cyan coat and a rainbow colored mane and tail and crimson eyes, her cutie mark being a rainbow spanner that turns into a lightning bolt, she also has a few tribal style tattoos on her arms, as well as scars over her whole body “your old it happens” Sally’s avatar just turns her nose up “Haha you all are silly” said pinky as she took a swig of mystery liquid from a flask, she as her name suggests she’s pink, she has a hot pink coat and a flat pinkish red mane and tail, and deep blue eyes, cutie mark being three party cakes “Well darlings i’m going for drinks, anybody want some?” rarity said as with a small whine from her legs she stood up, rarity is a part araknie with white fur/chitin and a unicorn horn that despite her power she rarely uses it, she has two mechanical front legs and a cyber eye, both eyes are a prussian blue with a purple mane and tail, and a pair of manipulator arms on her back that seem to always match what she has on,her cutie mark is a quilted rifle, “Ah’ll have some coffee if it's no bother”said applejack a heavy built mare with orange coat and blond mane and tail, deep green eyes and a stetson on her head, she only had one eye though you can tell she keeps the empty socket clean, she wears a leather eyepatch that has her cutie mark on it, her cutie mark is a clay jug with three apples in place of X’s “I’ll take some juice, if you have some.” said the quiet voice of fluttershy, a butter yellow mare with a short cropped bubblegum pink mane and tail, she has several scars across her body, most focus on her face, her eyes are a baby blue, her left eye has a scar running over it and down her cheek, her cutie mark is blerd over by scar tissue “Very well darlings, i’ll be back” rarity said finishing in terminators voice causing those who live on arkadia a laugh while confusing the others “Um what?” pinky said as rarity walked away “Wait you don’t know terminator?!?” rainbow said in shock “Dashie you have to remember that they’ve never seen the movie’s you grew up seeing”sally said as she started to look over movies already knowing what rainbow had planned “Right, sorry aunt sally” “It’s ok, but so you feel better i have terminator queued up” “Yes! You guys are going to love this! Am i right sis?” “Hell yeah! I’ll tell rarity and get the popcorn!” said spitfire a more or less carbon copy of RD save her colors which are orange coat and fire colored mane and tail, her cutie mark is a flaming sword stabbing through a klin’kesh skull “None of that sweet and sour crap!!” RD yelled as she chased her sister As rainbow and spits left a certain blue alicorn walked in, dodging the sisters as they ran past “woop! Watch where you run rainbow dear!!” “Sorry grandma luna!” RD said as she turned the corner Luna just shook her head “(sigh) children,(chuckle) what can you do?” luna was a deep blue almost black, with teal eyes and light blue mane. A much older model of cyber eye where her right eye used to be, her left wing, left for-leg and rear leg, are all cybernetic, painted to the same color as her fur. Her cutie mark is a crescent moon, “tolerate them till you can kick them out?” sally said her avatar smiling impishly. only to receive a rolled up paper to the nose, from luna “no. as much as i love you sally. no.”was all luna said to that point “ so i heard we are going to watch terminator?” “yeah, we are the twins wanna show it to their new friends. also, come on sis it was funny!” sally said exasperated luna just rolled her eyes “no it was not. and what happened to telling them about the founding of arkadia? oh you got to that point… (sigh) fine i’ll tell my side” twi’s eyes started to sparkle at that “oh so that how you got the name sparkle. you’ll have to wait until after the movie” “aunt sally put it on! i got popcorn and snacks” RD said as she entered the room with a bowl of popcorn in her arms as well as some snacks walking in bipedally followed closely by her sister and rarity with the drinks “(chuckle)all right, give me a sec” sally said as her avatar disappeared and a screen was in her place with the ‘please stand by’ logo on it “girls, sit back, relax, and prepare to see pure unadulterated badassery” RD said as she set the popcorn and snacks down “your going to love this!” and liike that the movie started playing
