Location: Master Lock's Bank, Our Town

Welcome to Our Town this place use to be where ponies didn't need a cutie mark and everypony was equal. Well actually not really. In the end the town sure has changed for the better the only problem is the town is very new and is not really with the modern technology of other towns. One thing that is not like today is the banks.

In today’s digital age banks can send trading of bits around the world in just a nanosecond and many ponies just use their credit cards. In Our Town they use pipes and fans. Sending bits or anything else through a pipe that would suck it up and send it flying to its destination. Twilight how does this machine work and what's it called.

"It's called a pneumatic tube system. The driving force behind it is pneumatics. When you have a fan attached at one end of the tube it generates a positive pressure which pushes the transport canister away from the fan. The transport canister has cuffs that creates an airtight seal with the pipe."

Well, that seems nice right. Well, it was. It was also very nice for a mare name Chips. She used to gamble her bits and win many times that is until Our Town started putting laws around gambling. Chips needed bits and she needed it fast. She got an idea. She dug underground and found a pneumatic tube system. She went to the bank to know when they would send bits through the pipes. She then found out the best time.

"Five o' clock in the afternoon. That is the best time." She said as she wrote that down in a note pad.

Five o' clock is when the bank would send so many bits at that time before closing for the day. She cut through the pipe with a saw. Jammed a piece of wood into the hole. In a matter of seconds.

*Shwoop*

A canister got stuck on the wood and Chips was able to grab it and see the loot she got.

"Sweet 200 bits and more coming."

The bank did not disappoint. Soon she was intercepting everything the bank was sending. She was loving what she got. However, one problem was more canisters came flying through the tube and getting stuck with the wood that Chips put in. She couldn't keep up with grabbing them and taking them out of the tube.

"Woah to fast."

Pressure began to build up in the pipe.

"Alright let’s check another." She tried to pull another canister. "What the? It's stuck." She tried harder to pull. Finally, she tried with all her might "It's moving I can fee-

*Boom!!!!*

In the end. Her pipe dream. Turned into a nightmare. Twilight what should have Chips known.

"When you cut the pipe in a pneumatic tube system you normally release pressure and render the system useless. However, in this case when this thief blocked the tube the transport canisters got stuck and pressure started building up. Resulting in a catastrophic failure of the tube itself. It made it explode and all those sharp shrapnel's got embedded into her skull. Through the brain. Killing her instantly."

Chips thought she had an airtight plan for the perfect crime. Then she got greedy. Instead of getting rich. She ended being buried... In a ditch.
