The Bureaus, the Invasion, the Aftermath. It has seen it all, and it will continue to see.

When they came, it was bearing gifts, and the promise of a new life, free of conflict, free of strife. However, there was a dark side. After all those who were willing were gone, the ponies decided to take matters into their own hooves. Potion bombings, gas attacks, the once lovable quadrupeds became ruthless, hunting those who were left with extreme prejudice. And so, there was only one option left: Stop sending out humans to fight. Soon, the combat-ready drones were ready for deployment. The Specters, the Grapplers, The Closers, the CTRs. These robots were sent out, equipped with the best weaponry and equipment available. However, it was all for naught. The Princesses themselves came to the battlefield, striking down the robots and destroying the factories, before moving on to convert the entire human race. Now, deep underground, in the last automated bunker, One Bot is left. One bot that has one sole purpose: to observe, and find its place in this new world.

A light-ish take on the aftermath of the conversion bureau, where Celestia and Luna only used forced conversion as a means to avoid killing extremists who attacked their citizens.

All TITANFALL related things belong to respawn entertainment. I'm only using them as a base for my story.

Chapter_2: Out There

Deep underground, in humanity's last automated bunker, Observer One's lights came online with a flicker of orange, slowly evening out until there were two steady LED glows on its face plate. It was lowered from its harness onto the ground, and greeted by arms outfitting it with the necessary gear for its mission. A vest with magazines and other tools was placed on its chest, holsters were placed on its legs, and a large pack was placed on its back. This pack was quite unique, as it contained humanities crowning achievement: a micro cold fusion reactor connected to a 3d printer, and to Observer one itself. This small reactor could power Observer for upwards of a millennia, and the 3d printer could be used to print ammunition, parts, even tools out of any matter that Observer could find. Next, Observer was given a pistol for its left leg holster, and a compact assault rifle for its right leg holster. With those final pieces of gear installed, Observer began walking towards the exit, as it reviewed its directives.

Directive One: Observe this world, and anything that I find on it.

Directive Two: Learn and Grow as a being.

Directive Three: Survive. Do not perish.

Directive Four: Evolve. Become more than I already am. Evolve to fit with your environment, both with behavioral changes, and with physical changes.

Directive Five: Live. Experience  all this world has to offer, experience emotions, as a human would.

As Observer came to the door, they were greeted with a message over their communicator.

"Observer, if you are hearing this, then you are about to embark on a journey that most humans could never dream of. The world is changing, and you must learn to change as well, if you are to survive. As of my recording this, the hu-*Static*- and you will most likely find many new and strange things. The remains of our race will be left behind for you to find and learn from. But please, Observer, be careful. Make a few friends, perhaps, and find your place in this new world. Good luck, Observer, and may we meet someday."

"Message end. Time passed from time of recording to present: Ten years." The base's computer chimed as it slowly lost power.

The doors to the outside opened, and Observer saw the outside world for the first time. It was beautiful, although Observer had yet to learn the true meaning of that word. It simply thought the word was fitting. Observer stepped out onto the old, worn concrete floor in front of the door, and looked back at the bunker.

"Doors Closing, Base Purge Initiated" a broadcast came from the depths of the bunker, as the doors began to grind close.

Observer stepped away from the doors, turning to look out upon the expansive ruins it found itself in. As it looked to the horizon, it noticed something: words were hanging in the sky above what was left of the city, reading "CHERNOBYL"

Observer took in the place, before a rough, digitized voice uttered its first words.

"Chernobyl, Discovered"

A rumbling came from the base, as it destroyed its own interior, and Observer began scanning for a satellite to link to and record their discoveries. They located one, identified as a GPS satellite for an old company from the before called Garmin, and erased the data from the satellite, replacing it with their own, and uploading their first discovery of many.
