my little portal
beginnings
Previous ChapterNext ChapterSuddenly, I was turned on... suddenly; I could see... suddenly, I could hear... suddenly I just... existed. I spoke without thought,
"I am GMD #1.08; I will travel to Equestria and bring science to them."
"Good..." spoke mother, how did I know she was mother? I just sort of... did... "Now, proceed to your portal and begin your mission, once you arrive, your personality simulation will activate. Am I clear?"
Me and my sisters spoke in unison,
"Yes GLaDOS."
"Good."
I turned and faced my portal, pink; my thought process began a self-check
'Pink:' a small voice said in my processor 'noun: color, white and red, example: the companion cube has a pink heart.'
"Now proceed" mother spoke
I walked forward, the world rushed by.
"OW!" I yelped, simulated pain coming from my back. Nanobots rushed to repair the wound.
I surveyed my surroundings. A mountain... something lay in the distance, a small village.
'Beginning re-assembly to native form.' spoke the voice.
I shut down. When I reactivated, I would be re-built, in a native equestrian form. My vision was blacked by an overlay;
'Shut down in... Three... two... on-'
The world went dark
Fluttershy was on her way to the field where she had let the bunnies have their babies, when she stopped dead in her tracks. There on the hill, lay a figure. A white pony, with grey highlights. She gasped. Was this pony dead? Did they need her help? Were they in trouble? What if they were a criminal?
"Criminal or not," she thought "that pony needs help"
she slowly trotted up to the pony... a mare... an earth pony... cutie-mark... an odd black swirly thing with an 'A' in the center... that was a mystery for another day.
"Excuse mam...? C-can you hear me?"
She lightly tapped the mare with her hoof. She stayed still. She rolled her over. The grass beneath her was red and sticky. Definitively hurt. Fluttershy draped her over her back. She was HEAVY.
The journey back to the cottage was slow. But when they got there, she dumped her onto the couch. She needed help... she needed her friends.
"Now, what’s all the commotion 'bout hunny? I got things to do."
"Oh... i-i'm sorry, it’s just... well... I found this mare out in the middle of no ware, she's hurt real bad, a-and I was hoping you guys could... help?"
"Fluttershy," twilight said, "of course we will help you, and now where is this mare?"
She led them to the mare. There was a series of gasps.
"Oh... OH! I know just what to do! I grabbed my pack in the rush to get here! I think I have a potion or two in here..."
She pulled out a sparkling vial of red liquid. She poured it into the mares’ mouth. They waited a few seconds, and then she opened her eyes.
I opened my eyes to find six ponies of various colors looking at me. I looked around for a moment. Then I got a vital report:
'WARNING 10% of blood simulating Nanobots have been drained.'
An equestrian vocabulary began to download. My emotion simulation booted. Simulated fear spread.
"What the buck?!?! Where the hey am I!?!?"
My processors whirred madly in my ears, trying to process my situation.
"Shhhhh, calm... it’s okay, you were hurt, so we helped you"
My processors slowed, that I under stood... but fear still held me tight. Perhaps my emotions worked a little too well. Something snapped, and things went dark again.
"Oh no! Not again! We need help!"
It was tough helping Her It's not every day you have a bloody sick mare on your couch.
Now... She just needed time. And a little help. It's a good thing they were there.
