Ain't no rest for nopony

In the wastelands of Pandora.

It was in the middle of the day. The sun was shining down, boiling the desert below. In the boiling heat lay 2 bodies, one a human, the other, a cyan pegasus pony. The pony slowly got to her hooves, and looked around.

"Where am I?" Said she, quietly. Looking around, she saw nothing but wast desert, sand corn after sand corn. It took her some time to see the other body. "What is that.." She poked it lightly, and not getting a response, she withdrew.

"I need to get outta here. The heat's killing me. Hopefully this thing'll be alright.." She muttered, as she took to the skies. She decided to follow the road, seeing as that'd be the fastest way to find a settlement. Though, she didn't really know what to expect.

As she flew, she noticed some animals down on the ground. Mainly Skags, but every once in a while she'd see a Scythid. Finally she reached Fyrestone, and landed close by the bus stop. As she turned towards the settlement, she was greeted by a robot.

"Hello! And welcome to Fyrestone! I am CL4P-TP, but you can call me Claptrap! Please accept this ECHO communication device and heads-up display provided free of charge by the Dahl corporation!" He said as he seemingly stared into space.

"Uhmm.. Are you alright?" Asked the cyan pegasus. Claptrap reacted by shaking his body a little.

"Whoops, sorry about that. Programmed into me. Anyways, let me just find this.." He said as he began shuffling through his little storage area. "Aha! Here we go. Try this on."

"Yeah, that'll be real easy.. How am I gonna grab that thing?"

"Oh, right."

"And besides, I didn't accept yet. Why do I need it? What for?"

"Well, do you want to survive?"

"... Yes?"

"Then you have no choice."

"Ugh, fine.." Dash said, defeated. Claptrap proceeded to put the ECHO Device on Dash, initializing the booting sequence. "Whoah, what the hell?"

"Don't panic, it's just booting." Claptrap answered. After a little while, he went stiff again. "Great! I detect that your ECHO device is fully functioning!"

"You're doing that thing again, Claptrap." Claptrap once again shook it off, and looked at Dash again.

"That should be the last time that happens.. Anyways, follow me please, I'll lead you into town."
