- >you decide to briefly ruminate about your life
- >after getting your degree in molecular genetics, you were an average, run-of-the-mill scientist
- >then, you observed an interesting pattern regarding herpes infections
- >long story short, you figured out how to increase the density of neuronal matter
- >not by much, but hey
- >you're nearly twice as smart as the average human
- >you technically haven't been allowed to do human research yet
- >but fuck the FDA and the ethics committee
- >you felt confident about it, and the grant money has been pouring in
- >life is good
- >you pick up the flat metal disk, and carry it to the nuclear magnetic resonator
- >you pop it open, and insert the chip
- >closing the lid, you pause a little before pressing the green "ON" button
- >you always did have a flair for the dramatic
- >you are Twilight Sparkle
- >and you are very very very stressed out
- >for three days, an unknown magical anomaly has been hanging in the air near Fluttershy's cottage
- >it hasn't done anything
- >it's invisible, it doesn't seem to be affecting the standard magical field, it's just... there
- >and it's bothering you
- >you've been spending probe after probe into it, trying different variations of common spells just to try to figure it out
- >the magic goes in, and nothing comes out
- >needless to say, this is why you're woried, because it's violating the Law of the Conservation of Thaumic energy
- >IT DOESN'T JUST DISAPPEAR
- >"Spiiiike!"
- >the purple dragon grumbles as he comes up from the downstairs
- >"Yes, Twi?"
- >"Can you please bring me the Magical M-Dimensional Membranic Monologue?"
- >the dragon stalks off downstairs and returns with a musty old book
- >it's... beautiful...
- >suddenly a pair of claws is snapped in front of your eyes
- >"Twilight! You've been standing there for 5 minutes, just staring at the book!"
- >you blush
- >"In fact, I think you may have even been drooling."
- >you blush harder
- >you decide to salvage the situation, and start flipping through the book
- >"A-ha!"
- >Spike nearly falls over.
- >"What, what is it, Twilight?"
- >extra-dimensional energy bleed, of course
- >you say that out loud
- >Spike looks at you blankly
- >you do a little dance in excitement
- >"TO THE ANOMALY!"
- >you flip Spike on your back, and dash off
- >only if Rainbow could see you like this
- >with a determined look, you make your way through Ponyville, and to Fluttershy's cottage
- >the anomaly is hanging in the air, mocking you with its reality-breaking ways
- >"BUT NO LONGER!"
- >Spike falls off your back, and rubs his head
- >"What did you have to go and yell for? You probably scared Fluttershy."
- >"Ummm, actually, you didn't."
- >the both of you jump up into the air as the buttery pegasus emerges from a small bed of yellow flowers
- >"Sweet Celestia, Fluttershy. That was some impressive camouflage. Are you hiding from predators?"
- >she looks at you with a quirked eyebrow
- >"Uhhhh, no. I, um, was playing hide and seek with Angel. And um, I knew you were coming because *mumble mumble*"
- >you twitch your ears
- >"What was that?"
- >she peeks out at you from under her bangs
- >merciful Celestia, if you were into mares, you'd rut the Tartarus out of her
- >"Well, you were kinda making a lot of noise while you were galloping. And jiggling a bit. I'm not one to judge, but um, maybe you should stop going for midnight donut runs?"
- >...and it's gone
- >"Thanks, Fluttershy."
- >"I'm only concerned about your health..."
- >"No, I get it, Fluttershy."
- >Spike is pressing his claws against his mouth, trying to hide his laughter.
- >"I hope I didn't offend you Twilight."
- >"No, it's fine, really."
- >you think to yourself that maybe you HAVE been eating too many
- >you smile at Fluttershy
- >"Anyway, I'm glad you're here. You know about that invisible, undetectable anomaly that I've been talking about?"
- >she nods at you
- >"Of course Twilight. I had nightmares for days."
- >"Exactly! So, I'd like you to fly me close to it so that I can shut it down with my magic! And it might behave in an unpredictable fashion, that could potentially be dangerous, so you'll need to be quick and agile!"
- >Fluttershy is shaking
- >that's odd, it's not that cold outside
- >"S-s-sure, Twilight."
- >she picks you up, and with a beat of her wings takes off into the air
- >you sense the anomaly growing closer
- >your horn begins to glow as you perform the proper calculations to have the spell fire
- >satisfied, you channel the magic inside through your horn
- >a purple bolt of energy flies out, and strikes the center of the anomaly
- >everything goes silent
- >you are Anon
- >you press the button
- >the machine powers on and begins to hum
- >that's strange, it's generally much more quieter than this
- >a bunch of sparks erupt from the power supply unit
- >"OH SHI-"
- >pain fills every part of your body
- >this is what an EMP feels like
- >you black out
