Previous ChapterNext Chapter

The human pressed an orange button on the control pad causing the hatch to close, the human turned to the ponies and asked in equestrian " oh my! What happened to this place?" Lyra was the first to break the silence "uh... hello? " the human replies "hello!" Lyra introduces herself and the crusaders. "hello, my name is lyra heartstrings and these are the cutie mark crusaders "she says pointing at the three filies. the human then introduced himself " hello my name is greg!, i work here" lyra asks " if you work here then you must know your way around, is there an information center in this... building?" greg replies " yes, but its all digital, we'll need a computer to access the files" lyra asks " computer? but a computer is something a pony can do does as a job!"  greg replies " true...true, but we have computers that are mechanic and genetic" lyra is amazed at this fact but greg interupts her train of thought when he asks " did you happen to see any computers when you came here?" lyra replies " i dont think so..." greg begins describing what a computer looks like " it looks like a metal box with a monitor connected to it with a few interface devices" lyra says

" actiualy yeah i think theres a computer by the entrance of the building " greg says " great! lets go there! " the group walks to the end of the cat walk and greg gets out a peice of plastic with a black line and swipes it by a black box connected to the wall and the wall next to it moves and opens a hall way. lyra then relises that humans dont have direct control over magic but rather have objects that help them poses magic, she writes this down in the note book as they walk down the hall way. meanwhile the crusaders keep asking greg random questions " do you know how to fly?, can you do magic? do you like apples? whats your favorite color? how old are you?" greg replies " no, no , i forgot, red, 31". the group make it to the end of the corridor and greg swipes his card again, this time a portal opens. greg jumps through but the crusaders and lyra are a bit skeptical because they have never teleported before greg says " come on jump through you'll be fine". lyra walks through slowly and the crusaders jump. lyra found that they went into the portal and it was blue, then they came out of the portal and it was orange, lyra took note on this. greg walks over to the front desk and relises that they probably arent going to be using this computer. it had it's case open and it was missing its graphics card, its micro processor and its HDD. greg says "yeah we arent going to be able to use this computer" greg looks to the left of the desk and see's a personality core sitting by the door. greg asks the ponies "was that there when you came in?" pointing at the core, lyra answers "well, no, i put it there when i found it, but why do you ask?, what importance is it to us right now?" sweetie belle says "aw the human wants to play ball!" greg ignores sweetie belle and says "this is a computer, if it still works we'll be able to access the main frame"  greg walks over to a metal box on the wall, presses a few button then swipes his card and a recceptical comes out of the wall. greg then plugs in this core and presses a button on it. the voice that spoke earlier spoke again and said "power up initiated" and there was a bright white light at the center of the core, then the core spoke "agh oh god, what happened? where am i? who are you?'' greg says to the sphere " i am employee number 670699 and we need you to access the mainframe." the core says " well i cant exactly access the mainframe but i can direct you to a module that can" the four ponies were silent the whole time , the crusaders were curious and a little scared. meanwhile lyra just wrote on her note pad and stared. the core says " okay i have something, by the way my name is kriton. okay, pick me up and ill tell you where to go". lyra volunteers and greg 'hands' her kriton. she places him on her back with her magic and he begins telling them where to go. they pretty much made a B-line strait for the module because kriton kept telling greg to plug him in at random places just to open doors or move walls. eventiualy they made it to a module then greg got to work on loading data. lyra watched greg as he worked the computer meanwhile kriton was being 'played' with by the crusaders. "hey kriton! do you want to play?!" asks sweetie belle kriton replies "touch me and you're dead" scootaloo starts kicking him around and kriton starts yelling. the crusaders are laughing and playing kick ball now. meanwhile kriton tells them to "STOP!!". greg finishes and yells " SHUT UP!!". everyone stops talking or moving around and stares at greg with a surprised face, kriton, lyra, scootaloo, apple bloom, sweetie belle. and greg just says "thank you". the crusaders are now sitting against a wall with kriton and lyra took a few steps back. greg says ''okay im finished" and un plugs the computer. greg says " i can take this back to where ever you live and hook this up, right after I get a few things from my locker. Greg seems to know the way to his locker, so he leads the way. When they get to his locker, he turns

The knob a few times then it pops open. First he pulls out a multi colored cube with nine tiles on each side

, lyra pulls it out of his hands and she starts messing with it, then he pulled out a book, no one but him and the core knew what the title was because it was In English. Then he pulled out a set of keys and said "oh yeah!" Lyra asks "what is it" greg says "theres one more thing I need to get.
