My Little Pony: The Rock Raider Trip
Chapter 3 - the letter and a puzzle?
Previous ChapterNext ChapterTwilight, My most faithful Student if you have found this letter then you have opened or soon will open a box- one that I promised to never have open again-. Still, however you have come to find it, is not important, I guess I have to start at the beginning. You and everypony in Equestria had been part of a project that was closed due to a ‘bug’ in the program. The Bracelet Commander program as it was called is part of the Defense Initiative Project or D.I.P. I know funny, I did not think of it like that at the time and it just stuck. It’s mission was to give a pony called a ‘Commander’ the power to connect and control the ponies that are under his or her command. This letter was part of a set to be sent when a Commander has found a Bracelet Commander and has an interface in range. If that is your case, then you must act fast. For if anyone connects to the interface will gain everything the interface unit owns, And I mean everything. That was not the idea at first, mind you. My magic users that I put in the program made that clear to me and to others when I got word of a bug in the ‘magic’ that runs the Bracelet Commanders. This letter was made to be the start of a set of them that will find you when you have unlocked a new power and help you understand/use the Bracelet Commander. I had hoped you never find this letter or the interfaces, It’s a mistake I hold to this day. The first ability of the Bracelet Commander is being able to scan for and connect to the Interfaces that have been ‘installed’ inside every pony, most will stay in hiding unless you know the pony it’s ‘installed’ in and i mean well, like say a friend or family member not your Brother or his wife both of them are the same rank as you so don’t even try it. Both of them did not live back when the program was started but he was the one that helped send it all to space. By now you may have found the scan rune. Use it to activate the first ability of the Commander. I myself had a Commander as well but I had to send it and all the other units to outer space with the help from your Brother after a Commander tried and was able to use it to further Command his wife and daughter with another daughter on the way. I hope you never find out about this, Princess Celestia.
“What in pony?” Twilight says.
“what’s in the letter” Andrew asks concerned.
“I just found out my teacher had some idea what this thing is despite the fact my world is not as advanced as this one.” said Twilight.
“Well we need to know your name for one thing.” Andrew said with a laugh.
“Not. Helping.” Rob said through clenched teeth.
“Oh! That’s easy, my name’s Twilight Sparkle.” She said, face brightening- that is, until she remembered she was trapped in a force-field.
Rob could only laugh at how fast she replied to the question and that sickened Twilight to no end.
“Wings and a horn and named Twilight Sparkle, hm... Oh Snap! Rob, you may want to stop doing that considering she’s apparently pretty important.” Andrew adds as the info clicks.
“HOO BOY, that was… sorry. Sorry about that. You say she’s important? How so?” Rob says, already considering ways to use her to his advantage.
“She’s Twilight Sparkle, The Princess of Friendship. She’s big news back over in the Poni sector.” Andrew informs him.
“So what does this mean she’s capable of? Any special powers that we might be able to extract and eventually use on our troops?”
“Her species has some sort of magic, but without a field of some kind to pull from, she’s got nothing of use to us. Plus I think it’s something about her data and the world that will allow her to be of use I am sensing the area around her is being energized but I can’t tell how.” comes a voice from Andrew’s sleeve.
“Brace, not helping!” Andrew says in hushed tones to a bracelet similar to the one on Twilight’s hoof- with a few extra details, “I don’t want him to kill her out of power hunger. Even if she can’t do anything right now, he’ll try to get what he wants one way or another.”
“I’ve got to get out of this…” thought Twilight.
“HEY! I may be able to help you in some way, that is, if you help me as well.” Twilight says, not aiming it at anyone in particular.
“How so?” Rob asks intrigued.
“I... may be able to help organize your team and help with... whatever you need help with, I guess.” Twilight offers.
“You were saying, sir?” Andrew’s Brace says to his user.
“This is getting bad fast. I have got to find some way to turn this around.” Andrew told himself.
Somewhere in the HQ
“Looks like Power Signature One is still asleep and Power Signature Two is currently chatting with Rob and that scout from before. Why is the scout with Rob most of the time. He’s just a scout!” RR-1 says. “Yeah, and why did Rob have to know the time that the signal wakes up? I mean Power Signature 1 had like only one dart as well, but it's still asleep” RR-2 adds.
Both of them are watching from two screens in a closed circuit TV system
“And let’s not forget that the Bracelet interface on Power Signature 1. It still won’t allow us to connect to it and no one can say one is not there due to the fact we can see it on scans.” RR-1 adds.
“Still, the idea that she can use ‘magic’ or some form of it’s something I for one would like to look into.” RR-2 says thoughtfully.
“Good luck getting anything out of Power Signature 1 and I don’t think Rob will let us interact with Power Signature 2 any time soon. Like I said before, whatever interface is with it will not allow us to connect to it.” RR-1 says, vaguely challenging RR-2 to work on it.
