The Facility under Equestria

*Beep*

*Beep*

*Beep*

Oh....my head.What happen? spoke a voice as there was a constant beeping ranging out. And why is there a beeping? I mean it should take those techs, wait... the being open it's eyes as it, his, corrected the being. Felt his entire being turned up from the starting up area. The being look down at his 'hand' which really was a combination of energy that manifest in a form of his conscious of thinking of his 'body'. The being look around his glowing blue 'room' which was the command center for the being.

The amount of blue energy move around the cube room as the being sat down and rub his head. I remember something, my name is Gabikoma, or in the terms of translation for most of the universal language, Protector. And I.... his eyes widen as he got up. The people! he activated a screen to pop out with a wave of his hand. He began searching with the scanners of life-detection. Come on, come on, is anyone-, zero? he look at the number.

Zero, there were no living beings left in the building. They...they got to be in the facility, they have to be! panic the being as he switched the scanners to the entire space-station, the Facility as he likes to call it. And he felt weak to the knees when he saw the number staying the same. Zero...what happen? where...did everyone go? thought the being as his memories were coming back up as he felt the Facility starting up again.

30,000 years ago, memory banks recalling in Facility.

It was a relatively good day, in space that is.

The white large space station moved through space with its engines, pushing the entire Facility on the bottom as it travel through the stars. The million of its occupations moved whether having a relaxing day, working, or merely doing whatever they do as they were content. As was the living intelligence that embody the station itself hum a happy tune, he checked through the systems of the Facility, and made sure all was well. He did small reminders as he checked the number of 1,203,500,023 inhabitants that lived in the Facility, well it was a space station...he just likes to call it the Facility. He look over the size of the station in his cube room, which was the main central hub of the entire station, one could say it was the brain of the A.I., hidden away deep and hard to get, because if one could get to him....well it wouldn't be a happy ending for the A.I.

Unless he lead the person to the room and trust them very deeply, one could meet him face to face...if they want pay the price of something terrible happen to them due to it.

He checked over the entire Facility as it's width was 2,499 and point 9 meters. He had to make it big for all those people and entertainment wise, no change on the length of 17,082.6 meters. And finally he made sure there were no changes in the height of the 20, 045 meters, because the last time he didn't check it was when someone thought it was a good idea to make it big, which cause the systems to overload and almost cause a meltdown. He rubbed his head as he had a month to do the cleanup from that incident.

Still he was glad that the Facility past was long gone removed with all the scrubbing, washing, and disabling of both 'rooms' and programs of the former A.I. who made use of the place as a game show place. Said word being 'used'. He still shivers whenever they found a 'play room' that was still full of sadistic things to use and near impossible challenges that was made to kill the person in it. Nevertheless they were all scrubbed and deconstruction down as he didn't want anyone to go in it. There was a reason he caution people to never go down the lower levels and through the corridors. Who knows what they may find in the Facility?

He check over his energy levels, and was satisfied that they were all full, all three of them in fact. His new solar rays, his lunar as a precaution in case they need moon energy and if there were no sun around. He sighed as he saw the last, and knew that despite knowing the dangers, he knew that the station, or rather he needed this since solar and lunar weren't enough. It was nuclear energy. Nuclear itself was dangerous in a way, but being in space and floating, well he could easily put the fumes out in the empty non-breathable space where it couldn't harm any being.

Now despite what people may say that the A.I. lived inside the Facility, he was in fact the Facility, and in a odd way the station was his body. Within this station lies the people in it, which were like the cells in a body, working and making sure that the station survives. Not to mention like all bodies, the station had a heart, somewhere deep where the brain was at as well.  He wasn't like this at first, being a A.I. and controlling and keeping both Facility and beings safe in it, but that's a story for another day.

He notice someone was trying to get through a door in sector 5-B3 as he saw a blip on the map, he look through a camera eye to see a being in that area. He chuckled as he knew fully well who it was as he saw the female feline bipedal creature. Her body was covered with a red robe, her mid-way hair cover around her neck in a braided manner. Her tan coat was noticed as she slam a fist on the door, and her brown eyes glared at the door, her ears flatten as she turned her head and snarl at the camera.

He chuckled more as he saw her name near her as his camera looked at her. He activated the communication on in the designated area as he spoke through the mics. “Having problems Head Officer Chiisal?” asked the male in a chipper tone. A grunt was heard as she let out a 'hmph!', he rolled his 'eyes' as he activated his visual screen, opened it from the ceiling as it was before her. He sometime prefer this way as to 'face to face' the people in the Facility, and if you look at the screen, you would see a virtual face of computerize data. A face of blue, with black outlines of eyes and dots as they connected to one another.

“Protector," spoke the female in snarling tone, "you know, this jam door makes me think about that  'reaction' you had to the 'incident' a few days ago," she used her fingers to mark how 'important' they were, "makes me think you're still holding a grudge about it. Even if you said you forgiven us, I swear you purposely had this door jamming up to me.”

He gave an innocent grin. “Me? Jam the door? How could that be? I have no idea what you're talking about!” she rolled her eyes and cross her arms as she growled.

“I already apologize to you and made sure they were fully punished, what more do you want?” He just gave her a pleading look on the screen as she slowly realized what he wanted from her. “No.” She flat out said with a glaring look and snarling fangs.

“Please?” He asked as he saw her kept being tough.

“No, it's too damn embarrassing to even say the words, much less do the dance.”

He activated the 'puppy eyes maneuver'. “Pllllleeeeeaaassssseee?”

She growled  as she resisted this tactic, however she knew that it was either this, or go the long way of travel as she gave out a small 'fine'. She breathed in and move as she began a little dance.

Protector gave out a loud laugh as he 'fell' down, the screen was down on the ground as his laughter echo across the station.  He kept laughing for at least ten minutes as the camera stop recording, it was a good thing he recorded this event or he would of lost this chance. Chiisal had a large blush forming on her cheeks, as she stuttered her words in embarrassment. “A-Are you satisfied now?” she asked, finally  Protector gather his breath as the screen was back up, and the door opens up to allow the feline through.

“Y-Yeah, alright all is forgiven, now then-,” he said before there was a crash on the station, he quickly felt something on him as switched his attention to the outside of the Facility.  He saw a asteroid storm moving straight toward the base as he activated the alarms. All around the Facility he rang out the sirens as he shouted out and activated the defense programs.

“EVERYONE BRACE FOR IMPACT! ASTEROID STORM!” He turn his attention back to Chiisal as the Facility as deconstructing itself to make sure nothing important was lost. “Hurry, get moving! I'll try to steer us away from this storm!” he told her as she was running through the halls. He made sure everyone was in the bunkers as he formed the Facility as a big giant cube. The size of it's width and length was still the same, although the height was shorten by 10,000 in order to make sure the Facility was covered in layers.

As he finished forming the Facility, he could feel more asteroids coming on him. He activated the engines as he tried to maneuver, escape from this setting as the cube attempted to move against the oncoming storm. Damn it! Why didn't I notice this storm bloody earlier? Better yet, how come the storm watchers didn't bloody tell me? Like they suppose to do ahead of time? Just because I am the bloody station A.I. doesn't mean I can keep track of bloody everything! I mean seriously! I have to make sure the engines are good, life-support online, light online, and make sure everyone is safe on the inside, a bit hard to look around your bloody area in space if you're occupy with everything inside!

He gritted his teeth as he felt some of the larger asteroids coming up at him, hitting his Facility as he spoke out through communications. “Everybody hang on!” He moved the best he could and tried to divert from the storm, but it kept pounding at him, moving from all sides as he saw the systems giving alerts. The screen shown the engines being damaged, that they became off line as he spoke.  “I can't steer the station! Engines offline! Everybody, get down and," he stop as he saw big and large asteroids coming at the cube as he shouted out.

EVERYBODY BRACE FOR-,” but was cut off as the asteroids large hit not only behind, but in the front as the A.I. saw many systems going off, he saw the cube being forced off the storm which made him glad...but he calculated the speed, the size of the cube, and the pull of a gravitational field made him afraid. He moved a camera to look outside as he saw the large planet, and knew that this was the pulling before him. He quickly spoke out. "We're landing! I repeat, we're," he was interrupted as he felt another asteroid smashing behind the cube, forcing it to crash down onto the planet, he was cut off from the system.

30,000 years ago, memory banks ended in Facility.

He blinked as he remember what happen...but what happen next to make him go offline? He thought more as his eyes widen as he recall what happen.

He rubbed his head in his awakening as he was back online. He gave out a groan as he checked through the systems as he grimace. Oh....this isn't good. he thought over as he look over the massive damage reports coming to him. All engines damage to the point of non-function and being sent to the scrapyard. His Facility badly damaged with so many dents it will take weeks to repair, and that's just the outer-hull. Wait, where is the hull breach I see? he look over the reports as he saw it was to the left side of the cube. Hmm, might take time to close that up, at the very least, the Facility landed on the right position makes me glad that, wait...air coming out? he look over the system and saw that the air was leaking out.

Okay, you can fix this dude, just...close that up, and contact the people and see whats up. assured the A.I. as he knew that the probability of getting out will take time, best he could do was to activate a beacon to ask for aid. As he set that up, he diverted his thinking to see where Chiisal was and tried to use the communication, key word 'tried'.

He noticed his energies and programs were being diverted to something, question was, where and why? He activated the communications by the emergency line, it worked, but he felt...drain for some reason. What is going on? What are they doing? he thought as he finally contacted her, however the screen was damaged as he heard his friend voice through the communications line.

“Protector! If you can hear me then you're not badly damage! Worse news is that you took so much hits from the storm, that the Facility programs are activating the repair system to fix itself up, everything is...damage in you my friend. Air is being moving out faster than we thought. Even if you fix it up, we won't have enough air for everyone, I know this is painful for you my friend. That is why we agreed you would be shut down so you can sleep until your 'body' is fully fixed up. I know this is hard my friend, but bear with me.”

He tried to shout at her but realize the comms in that area was heavily damage, he tried the entire Facility, but all he could give out was a mournful sound in pain. He tried to activate another camera in another area, but he could see the emergency shut-down as all the programs were staring up the as he felt...sleepy. He couldn't bear this, he didn't want to sleep, not right now. Not when his friends need him the most in their survival. He was the A.I., he was the protector, and they were his friends.

“I'm sorry, I truly am Protector...I wish that we could of travel through the stars together my friend, me and you. Not to mention all of us who lived in you my friend. But it wasn't meant to be, goodnight my friend, dream well.” Before he could even speak out more, he could feel the forced shutdown on him as his eyes droop, he curled up in the ground as these last thoughts were in his head.

Its...Its not fair....I don't want to...go...to.........sl...eep........Da...mn...it....W.....W.......Wh...y...?
