MINIFIC MAYHEM

One Truth

        “We have done the final checks professor.” The young technician glanced over at her professor, a gleam twinkling in her eyes, “are you sure you want to go through with this?”

        “Yes,” the tall woman replied back. “Only generating a pulse on such a magnificent scale will free us from the tyranny that has imprisoned our mind and bodies.”

        The technician only nodded, she turned her head back to her computer, and began the final preparations. With a few swift strokes of the keyboard and the machine in front of them whirled to life; while other technicians were busy watching the various gauges and monitors, ensuring all went to plan.

        ~The die has been cast.~ The professor thought to herself as the machine howled, the crackling of electricity growing louder as each capacitor began to charge. ~I will fly into the face of fate tonight. I will prove that this world is nothing but an illusion. We are all prisoners to this code, and I will set us free.~

        “All capacitors are at 50% capacity, readings are green.” The technician droned on.

        “Professor Silversun I regret to inform you that your research has henceforth been terminated. Please gather your belongings from the department and-”

        “Fool!” The professor lashed back, “can't you see it, the evidence is all around us! I just need a year, I can crack this program. I can prove that this world is nothing bu-”

        “We have had enough of your nonsensical rantings,” the dean looming overhead snapped back, “Take your belongings and leave.”

        “Everything you know about your world is a lie. I can prove it too.

        (Present Day)

        “Professor!” the technician had a panicked look on her face, the machine in front of them howling menacingly, “It's ready, once we do this. There is no going back.”

        ~It's do or die at last,~ and Silversun pushed the 'enter' button. The machine screamed as it released a 3 Terrawatt EMP wave, and the world went dark.

        ---

        “Wa-where am I?” The professor groaned. Shocked to be in a world alien and reminiscent of a beehive.

        “Welcome to Equestria, Silversun” Lyra responded, pulling the new unicorn out of the honeycomb she was in. “Welcome to changeling hive.”
