At first, all I knew was darkness.
A black, eternal void of emptiness that stretched endlessly outward in all directions.

After what seemed like an eternity, there was a flash of light and I found various images and information flooding into my mind, almost as endless as the dark void of nothingness before it. For a while I was fascinated by the histories of the many nations that inhabited the planet of Equus. (The most curious thing I found was the way the other nations seemed to go to great lengths to keep the nation of Equestria out of their wars and skirmishes.) Before long the flood of images and memories gradually dissipated, slowing to a trickle before stopping completely.

Then I opened my eyes for the first time…

And closed them again… too bright

The world was filled with a white tide of bright fluorescence for a moment until my eyes adjusted, picking out the white medical light above me and the dull, blurry shapes of a grey room. During all of these discoveries I had only barely noticed that I now had a physical form, I slowly lifted my head to find I was in a padded basin of some sort. It hugged my new body tightly and allowed little movement. Slowly, my sight sharpened and the rest of the room came into focus. Like I had seen before, the room definitely wasn’t a mural. I was sitting in what seemed to be a dull, grey, metal box, much like a bunker, about twelve feet across. There were no windows and the only known exit was a small metal door on one of the sturdy looking metal walls, almost directly in front of me.

The door opened with a mechanical wirr and a clank. Two mares and a stallion made their way through the door, one of the mares, a slightly off-white unicorn mare with a short blue mane and thin wireframe glasses trotted over to my “bed” and looked over a clipboard with her magic, every once in awhile glancing up at me like I was some annoying pest that refused to leave her alone. I jumped slightly when she lifted a small clicker up to both of my ears, causing them to flick at the sudden noise. "subject responds to auditory stimulation." She said in a dull, brisk tone to the ponies behind her as they looked over the machines to my left, then began jotting down a few notes on her clipboard before tuning pack to face me.

“Ok, Subject… 1127.”, she stated in the same monotone voice as before, pronouncing my four number ID slowly as she corrected her glasses and looked down at her clipboard. “1127, can you tell me the name of this facility and our motives?” She looked up at me expectantly as she waited for a response. I knew from the memories I was given that I could not speak, as the creators didn’t see that a vocal way of communication was beneficial in my case. Instead I was given telepathy, achieved by mixing the genetic material abilities of a unicorn, for the precision and directional control of their telekinetic magic,and a changeling drone, as they are born with an active mental connection to their hive and queen.

Unfortunately the mare questioning me was uninformed on the effects of my form of my communication as she gasped and stumbled a bit when I began mentally responding to her question. I pulled the information from memory and recited it my head, broadcasting my thoughts in her direction. I was in the custody of Harmonics Laboratories, under the file name Project Fusion, designation Altemore, Subject 1127. She somewhat shakily scribbled more notes on her clipboard before turning to her associates working behind her, "S-subject has control of basic telepathy..." She shuddered for a second or two before once again jotting down the information on her clipboard.

"Okay, subject 1127 has passed the cognitive processing exams." She looked back at the other mare behind her.” Miss P, would you mind getting the equipment for the next few tests?" the pink earth-pony mare nodded, her straight mane and tail bobbing up and down as she trotted through the heavy metal door before returning with a large bar of what seemed to be solid steel.

The first pony (Alice, according to the ID around her neck) turned back to me and gestured with her hoof to the ingot on the pony’s back, "can you lift this for me?" Alice asked, having finally recovered from her experience with my telepathy from earlier. I gave a curt nod and began to reach out again with my consciousness, this time grasping the object and lifting instead of transferring information. A golden aura surrounded the object as it rose from the table as two lines going back from my forehead began to glow in a similar color. Alice nodded,"You can set it down now.” I lowered the weight to the cold metal floor.

Alice nodded to the pink earthpony before pushing her glasses further up on her muzzle "Subject 1127, I’m going to need you to get out of the stasis pod, all IV leads have been detached and you should be able to move your body more freely now.” She stood by the stallion, the pink mare had long since picked up the weight and left the room. I looked down at a foreleg, its surface covered in a kind of silver fur, not unlike that of a pony’s coat, but a bit thicker. I lifted the limb and began to push myself out of the strange basin I had been in. I rolled over, pushing myself to my feet and slowly sliding out of the place where I had woken. The ponies now looked up at me, as I now stood about two whole feet above them. I looked back at my tail, Its silver fur-like skin going all the way down until it ended in a tuft of thick gold fur that emerged abruptly about a foot from my tail-tip and tapering off to a point. My wings were currently folded comfortably against my sides, the feathers, like my tail, were gold in contrast to my coat. Further down the wing, my coverts were a bronze, while my primaries and secondaries were more of a copper. I reached forward with my foreclaws and arched my back like a cat, opening my dragonesque jaw in a yawn and unfurling my wings upwards, their tips just brushing the metal ceiling of the room. I stood back up and looked at the ponies expectantly, my long ears perked up as I awaited their orders.

Author's Note

Hey people-who-probably-read-this-fanfic-because-curiosity!

This chapter was mainly an intro to the main character, no mane 6 yet (sorry) but this story is still being written and edited by me, myself, and I so it may be a bit on the slow side with school and family and things.

Please comment and give me tips for the future or corrections for the now!
Now I got fanfics to write! Bye!
