//-------------------------------------------------------// Designation: Android Sixteen -by Thunderscourge- //-------------------------------------------------------// //-------------------------------------------------------// Status Report One: Loss of Data //-------------------------------------------------------// Status Report One: Loss of Data Initiating: Full system reboot. Processing… Updates: Self-termination protocol halted. Status report: All systems activated. Initiating: Survival protocols. Initial visual report: Surrounding area contains unfamiliar trees. Land and nearby structures belong to category ‘farm’. Trees lead into thicker forest. Current position is sitting on ground. Motor skills: Rise to feet to further observe surrounding area. Report assessment: Location does not fit continuity. Relocation Inquiry: Critical damage sustained. Systems operational? Report: (Error 518: unknown activation cause) Inquiry: Purpose for new location? List primary objectives. Objective: (Error 9001: objective not found) Inquiry: Possible change to objective prior to move? Report: Affirmative. Primary purpose erased prior to critical damage. Command: Assess threat level. Visual report: Local fauna movement of single off-colored equine, unknown bird movement in sky. No immediate threat in current environment. Command: Scan area for possible threats. Threat level: Minimal. Local fauna power levels negligible. Range of zero to 2,500. No human power levels located. Command: Expand search. Threat level: Negligible. Power level of 500,000 in the distance. Potential maximum power unknown. Next highest power level amongst population is 100,000. Command: Search for previously recorded subjects in database. Report: No known subjects present. Command: Recall location. Location report: (Error  2401: location not found) Spatial awareness: Surrounding area now recorded in uncharted map. Possible reshaped Earth. Further assessment required. Inquiry: Database damaged upon destruction? Report: All files accounted for. No damage accounted for. Inquiry: Status of companions? Report: Subjects #17-18 status unknown. Bio-android status unconfirmed. Inquiry: Probability of allied success? Report: 68.325% with previous calculations in effect. Report assessment: Earth will be fine. Self-termination by Cell both successful and failure. Systems operational, though termination was achieved. Unknown reason for discrepancy. Command: Prioritize survival. Make primary objective. Objective updated: Survive. Auditory report from subject ‘unknown source’, “Hey, I don’t remember Granny Smith or Big Macintosh adding no big green scarecrow. Especially not something so…weird.” Visual report: One meter ahead at knee height is previously noted equine. Physical traits include off-colored orange fur and blonde mane similar to subject #18’s. Motor skills: Crane neck down to observe equine further. Inquiry: Did the equine speak? Databanks do not ascribe this trait to such animals— Auditory report from subject ‘unknown orange equine’, “Woah nelly! It’s moving!” Power level: 25. Negligible untapped potential. No threat posed. Visual report: Unknown orange equine turns to run. They quickly cross the field and head for a nearby structure. Report assessment: The equine just spoke and reacted to my movement with fear. Is it sapient? Are there others? Command: Sense for other equines within 10 kilometers. Report: Nearby herd to the north-east in town like settlement. Report assessment: Equines with speaking capabilities may assist in explaining current predicament, despite low power levels. Motor skills: Approach the structure ‘unknown orange equine’ ran to. Visual report: The door to the structure (possible residence center) is knocked open as ‘unknown orange equine’ leaps out with fervor. In its mouth is a rake, which it points at me as I continue to approach. Auditory report from subject ‘unknown orange equine’, “Git, whatever you are! We don’t need no more monsters around here!” Definition “monster”: a strange or horrible imaginary creature. Definition assessment: Large size and obviously unfamiliar features would indeed cause some beings to be apprehensive. Situation assessment: Any attempt to repel me will end in the equine harming itself. That would be unfortunate. Motor skills: Movement halted and arms raised in symbolic peace gesture. Dialogue response: “I mean you no harm. I only wish to inquire about the land.” Visual report: ‘Unknown orange equine’ takes a step back on its porch, seemingly shocked by my speaking. I could say the same about its own speech, although I have been programmed to have a much higher threshold to surprise. It lowers the rake to the ground slowly before raising to its full height. Auditory report from subject ‘unknown orange equine’, “Y-you can talk?” Motor skills: I nod and move my lips so that they form a smile. Best to appear ‘friendly’ so as to not startle the creature again. Visual report: The equine sighs and shakes its head, though given its newfound lack of hostility I believe I have succeeded in earning a small level of trust. Auditory report from subject ‘unknown orange equine’, “Okay, well ah’ve never seen anythin’ like you, so you stay here for now, okay? I’ll be back in a couple-a minutes.” Auditory report from subject ‘unknown orange equine’, “So this here is the…thing I found. What is it?” Chronometer: Unknown time, passage of 27 minutes and 52.91 seconds since request to stay still. Initial visual report: previous equine has returned with second equine of similar size yet different build. Second subject possesses yellow fur and pink mane. Command: Recall equine coloration from database and compare with nearby equines. Report: No matches found. Auditory report from subject ‘unknown yellow equine’, “Oh, my, I’ve never seen something quite like it. What do you think it is, Applejack?” Subject added: Applejack, previously known as ‘unknown orange equine’. Power level: 5. No untapped potential. No threat posed. Threat warning: Dismissed. Auditory report from subject ‘unknown yellow equine’, “Hi, I’m Fluttershy. What’s your name?” Subject added: Fluttershy, previously known as ‘unknown yellow equine’. Model information: Retrieving file… Report: Synthetic Android Sixteen. Creator Doctor Gero of the Red Ribbon Army- Report assessment: Information extraneous. Dialogue response: “My designation is Android 16.” Inquiry: Possibility of native androids on planet? Calculating: Variables being assessed. Report: Inconclusive results. More data required. Inquiry: Estimated probability of native android on planet? Report: 0.01% probability. Auditory report from subject ‘Fluttershy’: “Oh wow, you even speak our language! I’m so happy I can communicate with you. I’ve never seen anything like you before!” Dialogue response: “And I have never met a talking equine before today.” Inquiry: Are talking equines ‘fun’ or ‘cool’? Report: Further data required. Will observe for sake of companions. ‘Fun’ wheeled vehicles nearby will be recorded for subject #17. Auditory report from subject ‘Fluttershy’: “You’ve never met a pony that talks before?” Visual report: Subject displays slack jawed expression linked to surprise and/or shock. Subject Applejack has departed but is lingering nearby building they originally exited. Power sensors compensating for lack of view for Applejack for subject is standing behind visual range. Inquiry: Talking equine information in database? Report: No matches found. Motor skills: Nod to conversational partner to signify agreement. Dialogue response: “Affirmative. The only data I have is of non-speaking equines. I am from a…” Inquiry: Probability of native to unknown planet knowing name of Earth? Report: Likelihood low but incalculable given lack of data. Dialogue response continuation: “…different place.” Auditory report from subject ‘Fluttershy’: “I can only imagine. I was going to go back home to feed Angel, my baby bunny. Do you want to come with me? When we get back maybe I can find a way to help you get comfortable here?” Inquiry: Likelihood of negative outcome concerning speaking equines? Report: Likelihood low but incalculable given lack of data. Objective updated: Follow ‘Fluttershy’ to residence. Subject appears helpful and poses no threat. Report: Trust levels set to ‘High’ for subject ‘Fluttershy’. Are you sure you want to override previous status of ‘Unknown’? Command: Overwrite. Equine assistance necessary. No threat posed of being injured or dismantled. Dialogue response: “Thank you. Your kindness is appreciated.” Command: Add ‘Fluttershy’ to list of priority protected entities. Seventeen…Eighteen… Report: Motor skills displayed facial expression of ‘pain’ despite no physical harm. Command: Ignore report. —why are you still here— —we’re the three amigos— —I like you— Report: Unqualified dialogue of unknown origin.
