KAT
I don't know what's going on. I don't have any past memories except for the escape. I have no idea where I am. There are two others like me. We were sent somewhere and we don't know where. Before we came here we were surrounded by these creatures that walked on two legs and used their other two to pick things up. I don't remember anything before I woke up there. None of us do. All I remember from there is so much pain. They would always do what they called tests on us. Trying to understand more and more about how we function. They say that we have bugs and glitches, and that once they fix our bugs they are going to create more of us. We couldn't let others go through the pain we were, so we fought back. And after almost everything there was destroyed, we found ourselves here. They called us Mech Ponies. My name is Kilo Amp Tesla, or KAT for short terms. I have the ability to disintegrate anything with a small shock from my body. Now we are trying to figure out what has happened and why we were sent here.
TRISH
The place we ended up in was odd. I knew it definitely wasn't the same place we had been in a few moments ago. We were no longer inside a lab. We were outside. I could smell so many new things...it all smells so...so fresh. I always had a wing on one of the other Mech Ponies so I wouldn't get lost, but in this moment I just really wanted to run around and roll in the soft substance under my hooves. I could hear all different types of sounds, so different from what I always heard in the lab. I'm not exactly the smartest of the three Alpha Generation, but I do know the most. I can hear and feel and smell and taste everything. My tests were somewhat less painful than the others, and I was treated better because They messed up when creating me. My name is Trish. I am the second Mech pony created. I will find out where we are, and I will find a place for us. I promised that to them in the very beginning. It's the only way I can make myself useful.
DUSK
I've always seen darkness. It's the only thing I can remember before the Suits woke me up. Just darkness everywhere. When we cam to this new place, I felt instantly exposed. It was so bright everywhere I looked. I could find no familiar places or things. I had no idea what was going on. My name is DUSK. It stands for Digital Unit Scalable Kinetics. I can move things with my mind. Anything, no matter the weight. The Suits were very fond of my abilities. I tried my best to just get through the tests then continue to learn more. I enjoy learning lots of stuff. I really do think that every place or world or where ever, is beautiful. And I want to see as much as I can. I am truly excited to explore the new place we have been brought to.

After we all came out of our shock, we started to look around. It was Dusk's idea to explore. Although I'd expect nothing less from her. With Trish's wing on my back, we started forward. I searched through all the data the Suits had put in my head to find a name for the place we were in. Field, valley, meadow, plain. It's..nice.. I was pretty sure that thought was going through all of our minds at the moment. As we walked, Trish said the name of everything she heard around us or smelled. I guess all of the things they put inside our mind is helpful after all.
When I felt Trish stop walking I did too, with Dusk right at my side. “What is it?” Dusk asked after a moment of silence. “I hear...voices...and...they aren't Suits...they're...ponies...” She said in her soft, sweet voice. We were all stunned by what she said though. There were other? Like us? “Are they Mech Ponies too, Trish?” Dusk asked, as eager as ever. “I'm not sure. I don't think so but I can't be positive.” “Which way? Maybe they can tell us where we are. Or maybe they'll be like us too.” I said nothing during this conversation between my two companions. I had many other thoughts going through my mind. What if they aren't like us? Will they accept us? What if they don't?
We followed Trish towards the source of the voices and found ourselves facing something that I wanted to call a town. We looked at the sight before us and saw ponies everywhere. No sign of Suits, either. “This is where the sound is coming from...” Trish said softly, seeming overwhelmed by all the different sounds and smells around her. I glanced over to Dusk and she was practically bouncing with excitement by now. I looked forward once again at everything in front of me. I took a deep breath then folded my wings, some noises being made as I did so. Trish placed her left wing on my right side as I started walking again. Dusk stayed on Trish's right side while we walked into the small town, not knowing what to expect.
As we walked we noticed some of the ponies looking at us. I felt myself start to get self conscious of our little group of Mech Ponies. From what I could tell they weren't like us. It was easy to tell they were different from us. I could see no joints on them or circuits on their faces. An image with words flashed through my mind and I realized, they were the original source of our existence.
After a while of walking (and a lot of staring) we reached the middle of the town, a big building standing tall in the middle. As I looked around I noticed that a small crowd had formed behind us, the ponies all whispering to each other while looking at us. “Hey, Trish...What are they saying...?” I whispered to Trish. After a moment of silence she responded. “They're saying how odd we are and are wondering what we're doing here.” She stated in a calm even tone.
Maybe we should have looked for one specific pony instead...now there's a whole crowd surrounding us...This is starting to make me uncomfortable.. I thought to myself before one of the ponies approached us. I looked at the pony and took in every detail of it. Male, also known as a stallion, short cut blue mane and tail, Pegasus, working horse.
“Hello. I'm gonna take a guess that you three aren't from around here?” He questioned. He spoke in a smooth voice, although it had a bit of what I determined a country accent. The only thing we could do was nod, which was quite unusual for us. But we weren't at all comfortable with all these ponies.
He chuckled and gave us all a wide grin. “Well, let me be the first to say, welcome to Ponyville!” He said happily and motioned to the whole town around him. We all nodded then looked at one another, each of us wanting the other to speak.
After a moment I took a small step forward and spoke. “Thank you for welcoming us...We are new around here so...would you mind helping us out?” I wasn't sure if they did things differently around here, so I said the simplest thing I could think of.
His smile seemed to grow even more at the words I spoke. “I'd be happy to!” By now most of the crowd had gone back to what they were doing previously, but I wasn't quite sure they were happy with our being here. I did know one thing for sure though, this is definitely going to be an interesting experience...
