Lives are something sad, if you think about it. We all live, only so that our species existed in the future. Nothing else. Because one day, we are going to die out. And nopony will ever remember us. Unless, we find a workaround.

You know, when I thought that existing for an unlimited amount of time would be fun, I didn't think about staring in the nothingness for a few decades, or maybe centuries. And I'm sure, I will have even more time to think about it. Because all of the personnel, who put me in this chamber died. When the spells hit Equestria. How dumb could they be, to make a city of technology, without protecting themselves from it?! I have been here for so long, that I don't remember who am I or where am I. Or what do I look like. All I remember has been slowly forgotten over the time. Well, I could have another sleep in this cryopod. And yes, you can sleep, while being asleep. Genius.

  In truth, sleep is the only thing that stopped me from going nuts to this very moment. Sadly, this thing I'm stuck in does not let me sleep for more than 8 hours... Or was that 10? Or 12? Celestia damn me, I don't remember! Anyway, I can't sleep for too long because if I sleep too much my health gets worse.

And sometimes, I have nightmares. You see, sometimes my brain overloads this cryopod and makes it reboot itself. And when it does, the cryopod's comfort chip does not work. And if it doesn't work, my brain starts going crazy because of this damn cryopod. I relive my worst moments of life, but even worse than they were.

  -Cryopod #01 overloaded. Forced reboot initialized. Starting in 5... 4... 3... 2... 1..... - said a familiar voice that I was listening to for the past eternity and a half. Well, shit. It starts. Again. I really should get used to it. And I also need to make a note that the less I talk to myself the less I dream of nightmares.

Suddenly, I found myself reliving my failures. Just the same schedule. It never changes. I saw how I was getting beaten up all over again. Then, I was getting something from my personal life, such as my hate for my father (Who abandoned the family, what a dick...). And after that... What the hay is that?! A new nightmare? It's something that almost never happens, usually I see the same one for ages. I found myself with closed eyes, while a mare's voice said: "Forced cryogenic sleep interference. All chambers opened". Then, I figured out that I was inside a blue cryopod in Vault E(ternity). With a loud sound, the cryopod's opened. As soon as I stepped out of it, I fell to my legs with a loud clank. Every breath felt like a complete challenge. It was very cold. And there also was a funny smell. Standing on my four legs wasn't so hard though. Don't know why. Then, I decided to take a look at my legs. Or what was left of them. As soon as I looked at them, I started shouting: "PLEASE! Wake up. Wake up. Wakeup-wakeup-wakeup-wakeup."

My legs were made out of pure metal. Out. Of. Metal. When I turned around to see what was my cutiemark, I found out my flank was metal too. And just under my legs was a skeleton of somepony. Decay was everywhere. There was also a smell of rotten flesh, making me want to just kill myself.

Those feelings... Am I awoken? After all this time. But by whom? And who am I? What am I? Why would they? How long have I been asleep?

And right at this moment, my thoughts were interrupted by a familiar voice: "Initializing a self-destruction in 5 minutes. Any personnel must evacuate immediately."

I started looking around and saw a way leading somewhere. I ran for it. Or tried to - even with cyborg modifications I didn't get used to it. And fell down. Again. And again. I saw the door, with a light. It was giving me hope.

Meanwhile, the clock was ticking...  The door was getting closer and closer. But I started thinking - maybe this is just a new nightmare? What if I die in a nightmare? I used to be a scientist, after all. At least, I think I used to be one.

Giving up hope, I fell down, losing my mind, as the timer was going on...

10... 9... 8... 7... 6... 5... 4... 3... 2..... 1............

And everything suddenly became filled with green, followed by a massive plasma explosion. Every bone in my body was full of pain. No, I couldn't give up just yet. Not yet. I made my last jump and at this very moment, I passed out.

A giant flash has raised in the sky, blinding a grey unicorn, who thought he could outsmart everyone. How could he be so oblivious. A flash was followed by a green wave of explosions, moving his way. He was heading towards Stable E, a small Stable-Tec pet-project. As he ran by, he saw crying fillies and colts with their parents, who had no idea what to do. Their faces were full of fear.

This oblivious scientist could help them. Offer shelter. But he was the most giant dick in the world, who cared only about himself.

As soon as he reached the Stable, he entered and shouted to everyone there: "GET THE CRYOPODS ON AND RUNNING! I DON'T GIVE A FUCK THEY WEREN'T TESTED YET!"

And so, this bastard ran through a long lab hall, with chemicals here and there.

As he reached a blue cryopod with a white number "1" near it, he jumped in. Thinking only of surviving, and hoping that somepony (in the best case, somepony from personnel) will open this chamber one day.

This oblivious scientist is me. This giant dick is me. This coward is me too.

I always thought I was someone clever but I wasn't.

And who am I now? Just a machine. A cyborg. Worst of all - I don't even know how I became one. And considering I don't remember my name, now I will be called "The Cyborg".
