Twister slowly stammered to her feet as held her head in her hoof. "Owwww... That really hurt..." She shook her head slightly, noticing her vision fading and blurring. She focused on a large gray blob and her vision realigned to show the Doctor quietly inspecting a small piece of the control panel. He turned and walked to the filly.

"Do you happen to know your breed?" He smiled again at the aching filly.

"No, not really..." She thought back, she never really bothered to ask.

"Okay, that's fine." He walked back to the control panel, rapidly pushing buttons.

Twister watched intently as the stallion read papers, pushed buttons and murmured to himself. As she watched she realized something, he was hiding something. She had no clue what, but she intended to find out.

"Whatcha reading?" She watched him carefully.

"Just some papers..."

"About what?"

"Stuff."

"What kind of stuff?"

"Important stuff..."

"Why is it important?"

"Because it, um, is?"

"Why?"

He sighed, "Fine, you got me, it's your genetic results."

"What do they say?"

"I can't quite tell, that's the weird part..."

"Hmmmm..." She jumped on the control panel to see the paper as sparks flew and smoke rose. She jumped off immediately.

"That's why!"

"What's why?"

"Only a hybrid can do that!"

"A hy-what now?" She tilted her head in response.

"A hybrid, they usually break technology they touch, unless it's from their home planet of course."

"What, so you mean, this is from another planet?" She motioned to the whole room with a hoof.

"Well, yes!" He sat down and stared at the small filly. He was expecting her to be sad or confused, but instead she jumped to her hoofs.

"That is so cool!" She smiled brightly and hopped around the floor, her wings flittering as she went.

"Y-your not confused?" He tilted his head.

"Kinda, but this is awesome!" She continued to hop around the floor until she hit a wall. "Ow... That hurt..."

"You didn't see that wall?"

"That's normal for me. I have bad depth perception. Runs in my family." She simply shook her head and jumped back up.

"Okay, but do you have any alien relatives that you know of?"

"Nope." She stopped bouncing and sat in front of him. As she examined his coat again she noticed something weird, it had turned lighter brown than before. She shrugged and simply let it be. The gray pegasus jumped to his hooves again and trotted to the controls. He pushed some buttons before grabbing the filly and heading out the door.
