{Sensor Array}
{crackle}
{"What do ya think it is, Scoots?"}
{"I dunno. It's like some kind of alien or something. I mean look at the shape."}
{"Hey! Something else is popping up on the thing."}
{crackle}
//corruption detected mainframe
[Is this okay?]
{"What's a mainframe?"}
{"Maybe it's an alien toilet or somethin'?"}
{"I think I read somewhere that a mainframe is what robots and stuff use to figure stuff out."}
{"Where'd ya read that hooey?"}
{"I was bored at the library one day and I decided to look at the science fiction stuff."}
{"What? Ah didn't know ya went to the library!"}
{"Uh..."}
{"This is so great! We can be study buddies!"}
{"Look, can we talk about this later? I wanna figure out what this thing is."}
{"Oh, right. So... yes."}
{click}
{No}
[What would you like to do?]
{"Well, duh! I wanna make ya better."}
{"Why are you talking to it? I don't think it can even hear us."}
{"Well... it did say it repaired the 'sensor' thing. So I guess that means that it... can."
{"..."}
{"Creepy. Can it tell what we're saying?"}
{"Probably. The enchanted words on the front are in Equestrian, so why would it not be able to figure out what we're saying?"}
{"Then wouldn't that mean if we repair the mainframe, then it could talk back?"}
{"Wow, Scoots. That's a great idea!"}
{"I am pretty great."}

{Mainframe}
[Please wait...]
[Done.]
{"Did it work?"}
["Hello?"]
{"Whoa! This is so cool!"}
["'Cool'? Phrasing of the English word 'cool' on this planet is unknown. Through inquiry and information stored in my data banks, I will just assume that 'cool' means a low temperature."}
{"Actually mister robot, cool means 'awesome' or 'Rainbow Dash'.}
["'Rainbow Dash'? Rainbows are water droplets in the air that reflect light to make a beautiful display of the color spectrum. Such a magnificent thing of nature. I am almost certain that Rainbows cannot dash, though."}
{"No, silly. That's just the name of the greatest pony in Equestria!"}
{"Yer gonna make it explode or somethin' from all that gushin' yer doin'."}
["I can assure you that I can function well enough without exploding."]
{"Ah don't know 'bout that, mister robot, but yer pretty banged up. Is there anythin' we can do ta help ya?"}
["Yes. I require more power if I would wish to repair myself further. I mainly use dark energy as fuel, but seeing as my main power core is not functioning I will not be able to gather enough power to execute a full repair. Could you possibly pick me up and take me where there is more sunlight? I could possibly use solar energy to fuel the repair."]
{"That sounds like a good idea. But how can we pick you up? You're pretty big."}
["Maybe you can convince more of your species to help you?"]
{"Hey, why didn't I think of that? We can go ask Twilight to magic it out."}
{"Levitate."}
{"Whatever."}
{"Are ya sure we have ta get Twilight? She'll freak out or somethin'."}
["I would like to recommend as little panic as possible if this is a first contact scenario."]
{"Oh, that's right! We're the first ponies in history to ever meet an alien! This is so cool!"}
["In that case, congratulations. If this is the case, then after I become functional enough to move, perhaps I could speak to your leader?"]
{"Sure! See ya later mister robot. I'm gonna go get mah sister to help us. She won't freak out er nothin'."}
{"I'll go, too. I need to go home and take a bath. I'm filthy!"}
{"I'm gonna stay here for a while and talk some more."}
{"Are ya sure, Scoots? It's gonna be dark in a bit."}
{"Yeah, I'm sure. Go ahead and go home. I'll be going back soon."}
{"Alright then. See ya when we get back ah guess."}
{"Bye, girls."}
["Why did you not go with them?"]
{"I just... I just need some time alone..."}
["Alright."]
