The room we next find is not that of the library but of a command center of some kind with some sort of monitor setup on one wall of the room and is about the size of the wall itself on the other side is what looks to be a human is walking around in the back of the room on a raised platform.

“Sir?” A digital female voice sounds. “What is it, computer?” the humanoid being asks, putting their hands on his desk in tension. “It seems a new power signal just landed back in cavern 1, sir. Second one today.” “RR-1 and RR-2, are you two listening?” he asks with a commanding voice.

“What’s going on Commander? We didn’t hear anything at all. We just got back from the mess hall.” say the two ‘mini-figures’. “Well then, RR-1 and RR-2, it seems the computer has another signature in cavern 1. You two are to go and check it out and report anything you find back to me” the commander orders. “Yes, sir!” was the automatic reply.

“I hope this is not a false alarm, again.” he thinks aloud to himself as the units follow his command. “You and me both Rob; you and me both. After that one power signature came down, I had a feeling another was not too far behind.” An odd looking scout says back. “I wasn’t talking to you Andrew, thanks for the vote of confidence and the reminder about Power Signal One” Rob snaps.

“Look, calm down, okay? I wanted to ask you if I can go on ahead to the location of the signal.” Andrew offered. “Calm down! We get two new signal after months of scanning and you’re asking me to cool it? ....You know what having a scout out there may be a good idea -seeing as both Raiders can’t see straight sometimes... Okey, Andrew, take the tube way. It’ll be faster.” Rob replies back as Andrew heads over to a chute in the side of a wall.

“Did you mean to be that hard on him?” The computer asks curiously. “How so?” “Well you did yell that first part.” “...You have a point there, Computer.” “It’s part of my mission, sir.” “That it is, Computer. I just wish you weren’t so good at it...” Rob says dismally.

Chapter 2: Into the Caverns
Cavern 1
Time: 3:11 PM PDT

“Seems to me that the Computer must be seeing things again. I’ve got nothing on the scans.” RR-1 says to RR-2 as both look around the Cavern. “Did the two of you not think to scan around the hole that’s about 6 miles north of here.” Andrew asks them as he comes into view. “What the!, How did you get here faster than us again? You HAVE to be a ninja or something! There’s no other explanation!” RR-2 says back as RR-1 starts heading north. “Don’t think about it too much, RR-2. Andrew is just being himself. And so far, the boys at R&D can’t make heads or tails of it.” RR-1 says casually. “So it’s just Andrew being Andrew?” RR-2 asks back. “Yep, that’s the idea.”

Cavern 1 Crater
Time: 3:23 PM PDT

When Twilight opened her eyes some time later, it was very dark and damp. All she could see was a yellow flame glimmering in the distance and the vague shape of the dripping water. As she gets back up on her hooves, she gets startled as she feels something on her front left hoof slides into place on her ankle. Freaking out about the thing on her leg she did not see the fact that she was 3 feet deep in a crater or that she is the trimmer for it.

“Ahh, what’s that on my leg!?” Twilight yells out. “Well sorry for that miss, but it seems we will be with one another for some time, as I can’t seem to unlock at the moment” It replied with a beep as it turned on. “What… it can... Talk?” Twilight said, unsure.

“Yeah I can talk. I take it you’ve never seen a bracelet commander before? I’m called Brace! By the way” it sounded. It seemed to have the appearance of a rectangular plate with the letters R A I D E R printed vertically on along the top.
“Ah! Oh, I didn’t actually expect you to respond. So wait, what’s a bracelet…commander?” Twilight said. “And what does RAIDER stand for?” she wondered.

“Audio mics are all over me, so I can hear and follow any command given to me. And due to the fact I can’t unlock right now you’re my Commander for the time being. A-” before Brace could finish, Twilight interrupted. “But what does that mean?” She asked. “Well, I was getting to that! A bracelet commander is exactly what it sounds like: it’s a piece of technology that a commander like yourself can call upon for guidance or utilities. A commander is someone who commands a group of individuals, like you would expect, to complete special tasks. Normally, a commander would require some skill in leadership, but seeing as you seem to have ‘royal’ attributes, you should fit the bill. Of course, I don’t really know you on a personal level, so I can’t be sure if we’ll be staying this way after I’m free to unlock.” as Brace is talking, there’s the faint sound of footsteps in the distance.

“Guess you’re not from around here, huh?” Brace asks. “Yes, I guess that’s one way to put it. I was working on a spell then woke up here with you on my leg.” Twilight replies. “It’s very interesting how I ended up here, though. Although you yourself aren’t exactly comprehensive.” “Maybe the spell you cast messed up somehow and sent you here in the process. But then again why cast a spell like that in the first place?” Brace said. “Well no one else’s going to hear this anyways, so... I was essentially trying to find the exact time this unknown power that had affected my teacher, would be at its beginning stages so that I could prevent it from affecting all my friends… and hopefully free my teacher from it as well. “I take it you have not seen or heard from from your teacher, since then?” Brace asked. “I saw. I didn’t hear however…” “Seeing but not hearing? That can only be one thing. The WRM has been activated for your world.” Brace darkly tells her. “WRM I have to ask about what or who that is at a later date?” Twilight thinks to herself

“So you’re some kind of Command system and the pony your locked with is your commander?” Twilight asks Brace after a long pause as she looks over his settings, oblivious to the footsteps from earlier, which had resumed once she started talking. “That’s the gist of it Twilight.” Brace replies.

“Seems you have some powerful Runes on you if some of your settings are right” Twilight says to him. “Wait, how’d you know my name? I never even told you it.” Twilight said, careful to let Brace finish talking. “I’m programmed to read your data, although only to an extent. You called yourself a pony earlier. That term sounds familiar somehow.” Brace says looking for more information on Twilight. “That’s correct.” Twilight says before a pain in her neck causes her to suddenly become sleepy. “Nighty night.” Twilight says before she hits the ground with her legs flopping out to her side. “This isn’t good. I should go to sleep mode to hide my activation.” Brace thought.
