Author's Note

I know I am a bit late in getting this out but I was trying to find another 250 words so I can make the 1K word limit set by the site, By the time you see this I will have found said words. there is something coming in the next chapter and I will hate to spoil it. Note: this is a starting draft, if anyone finds anything that needs clearing up or editing PM me the part in question and I will change it. Yes I know it's a wall of text like I said starting draft.
First things first, paragraphing the wall of text. Yes I know about the line spacing.
I do most of my writing in G-docs so there are some formatting issues.

chapter 2 - The Awakening

Rock Raiders HQ
cell block A
Time: 4:13 PM PDT

The cell was a faint blue light in the shape of a cube and would likely be called a force-field. The pony in question was laying down, still asleep from the tranquilizer dart.

“RR-5 how's this power signature doing” Rob asks as he comes in. “RR-2 did a number on her nerve data with that tranquilizer dart. She’ll be out for quite some time” what can only be assumed by the number on its back RR-5 told Rob. "Can you get her up then?” he asked looking at the ‘pony’ in question.

“Not without risking major damage to her brain and memory centers, sir.” RR-5 answered.

“How bad will the damage be?” Rob asked her.

“I don’t know how bad at this time but I think at best a year of memory or more” RR-5 informs him.
“I take it that anymore and she may lose the data that we need” Rob adds thoughtfully. “And we potentially lose the advantage she may give us!” RR-5 rebukes.

“What time is it…? Sweet Celestia, My head... what hit me?” Twilight asks
“I don’t know what did it but I have a good idea where we are.” Brace sounds, using Twilight's nerves as a link.

“What do you mean Brace?” Twilight asks in a hushed tone over that same link.

“It’s a group called the Rock Raiders. I am one part of a two part technology powerhouse -not that I can remember what the other part is- that they had asked for so that any of the Commanders will have more room for tools and other parts you need to work on this planet. And no-one will hear us while we use this link.” Brace explains.

"So, your telling me this link is like private" Twilight asks

"Yes, as my system is using your own nerves for the link" Brace says.

"And your telling me this now, why" Twilight inquirers.

"What...It took me a bit to understand your nerves. Your cells started to block me and I had to do some chatting."

"Well when you put it that way...Brace it seems we are not alone."

"The Raiders?"

"Two of them one seems to be more...advance then the other"

"Why do you say that"

"Well for one he's 3D like I am"

"So"

"the other looks like a kind of living plastic."

"you got me there."

“Looks like she’s up and ready to chat Rob” One of them says as he spots Twilight.

“Thank you for the obvious there Andrew.” Rob adds sarcastically. As they both slowly approach her, Twilight starts to feel nervous.

“What do you want with me!” Twilight demands weakly.

“Keep your cool. You don’t want to upset them when you’re clearly in no position to cause trouble.” Twilight could hear Brace saying through the neural link they now apparently shared.

“You’re right. You know better than I do what to do in this situation.” Twilight said with a hint of surrender in her tone.

“Sadly I am just as new to this as you are.” Brace says.

“Then how did you know-” but Twilight was cut off mid-sentence when Brace says ”I found out upon creation, okay! I was pre-loaded with the Intel already.”

“Okay then, I’m on my own with this it would seem.”

Twilight was taken back to reality when she heard one of them Rob was it? say something.

“Looks like the darts had a bigger impact than RR-2 first intended, because she’s not even saying anything.”

“Then we should leave her for the time being.” RR-5 said as she came into the room, having overheard Rob’s statement.

“This medical data from what I can tell is female but has something off about it. I can’t say for sure what- or how it’s even possible” RR-5 says.

“Is she talking about me?” Twilight wondered as she realized she had been talking with Brace for longer than anticipated.

“She is, Twilight.” Brace replied using the mental link.

”You’ve got mail.” sounds from Brace, “okay, that was new” he says.

“That has never happened before, right?” Twilight asks.

“No. Never.” Brace replies.

“I see you’re more alert now. I am RR-5, or as most have on file, Rock Raider number 5. You should probably check that by the way. It might be important.” the female Rock Raider said.

“RR-5, you know not to look into other people’s business. But then again you have a point” Andrew adds.

“Um, okay.” Twilight says, realizing those were the first words she had said to them since she fully awoke and got her mind back to it (Seems her brain needed some time to ‘reboot’).

“Well at least you speak the same language as us.” Rob says.

“Seems me calling RR-99 was a bit presumptuous of me.” Andrew says scratching his head nervously and then sending a ‘false alarm’ notice to the raider in question.

“I’m trying to read this.” Twilight says impatiently.

“The boys are like this. Sometimes I have to remind them to check around them before chatting like this.” RR-5 says apologetically.

"how can you tell one another apart" Twilight asks as the message is loaded onto Brace's screen.

"I take it the message is not coming in" RR-5 says to her, thinking of a reply to her question.

"It is, just a large size" the pony replies.

"Back to your question it's mostly hair mine is long but Rob is short and how we act plus my main...part is a bit more refine then Rob over there but not as done as Andrew he's not that hard to spot."

"I see that he's 3D like I am."

"Ya, but we can't say he's not a raider he's got a letter from RR-Z"

"Who's that"

"He's the leader of the Raider program, they say he's the first of us to come to this planet and fight the big King in the center of the planet."

"So if he's so great why is he not here now"

"He and Rock-1 his Flagship base are...well missing"

"Did you send out a scout team to find him"

"well....here's the thing. We are the scout team. Our Mission here is to find RR-Z and see if there is anything that can show he's beat King Rock"

"Twilight, sorry to interrupt but the message is loaded."

"Thanks Brace, can you send it to my eyes"

"I can twilight.....give me a sec it's like your nerves."

"Oh, Let me"

"Thanks"
In the ‘message’ there was a message from some pony rather unexpected:
