Only once was it whispered aloud that a secret facility existed somewhere in the frozen Great North of Equestria and inside of the Facility, machines were being created, powerful machine warriors created to combat the zebra threat to peace.

The cover-up story was whispered just as softly, that the facility would be crafted to watch for the great Crystal Empire, to watch and wait no matter how long it took, to get into it when it finally appeared, or find the ruins of this ancient society, to procure powerful magicks to, also, fight the zebra threat.

But, sadly, Equestria was annihilated before these whispers could truly gain shape into something meaningful to anypony that did not already reside in that great facility, buried under the ice and snow. Now it is a but one of the many empty, silent military facilities that dot the old Equestrian Kingdom's territories, forgotten by all but the oldest of computers and ghouls, who no longer care.
