I returned to the management chamber, where Ava was waiting.

And… making something.

----------------{Ava}---------------

I put the final pieces on the large disk-like medallion with the aperture logo printed on it.

“Now I’m thinking with Portals.” I hummed to myself.

“Ava?”

“Oh! You’re here! I just finished building my new Token.”

“.... Token..?”

“Look into the ‘Displaced’ Instructional folder.”

“Ah, okay.”

“Now I only need the message…” I lifted it up to my vocal processor.

“Thank you for Acquiring the Aperture Science handheld Interdimensional Portal Disk, to summon the Genetic Lifeform and Disc-Operating System designated: Ava, please place the device on the ground and press the centre plate. Aperture Science is not liable for damage to property or person which may include loss of limbs, severe burns, significant damage to optical organs, indigestion, loose bowels and finally death, should you choose to be stupid and use this inside and/or not back away from the device when activated.”

I placed it into a heavily shielded Test Chamber, then activated the device, having it send itself into the void. “done.”

“Nice.”

*BUZZER*

“The Second Testing Sequence is about to begin, Subjects 3 and 4, please await Overseers.”

“Well, we'd better go..” we returned to the chamber.

The next Subjects was Celestia and Twilight.

Starburst got Twilight of the two..

“How is my sister doing?”

“She is doing well… even if we will have to clean the sheets later.”

“Say what?”

“You mean you didn’t know? Your sister is quite the pervert, could not even complete the first test and already she was too aroused to finish… well, she is currently trying to finish in a different way inside one of the relaxation chambers.”

She blushed, and I saw her tenting her jumpsuit.

“This next test involves the Aerial Faith Plate, it was originally designed to see if Test Subjects could solve puzzles while they are catapulted into space, results were conclusive; they could not.”

“Well, I am used to flight.”

“Aperture Science would like to remind Test Subjects that all Test Chambers are ground based, any extended use of wings will result in disqualification of the Testing track, a reset, and a chance to attempt again once your penalty interval has been satisfied. The Penalty is decided by the Overseer of the Test, I have decided that failure on this test will result in you being the test subject for the Aperture Science Realization Project #3… though I’m feeling generous, if you manage to complete this testing course, you will be given a special reward, would you like to know the reward?”

“What would it be..?”

“Aperture Science will offer an all expense paid dinner with an immortal entity.”

“What??”

“You should not worry, it is only a dinner, romantic advancements will be allowed only if the client deems it… Aperture Science also recommends reducing any extra drag you will get through the air, may I recommend a cold shower?” I said, my optic glancing down to her package.

“I'll be fine.. plus cold showers are.. kind of painful for me.”

“*sigh* Aperture Science will allow you the use of the experimental Aperture Science Relief Control Garment Device.” a pair of metal panties and a small portal gun rose up from the floor, the inside of the front of the panties had an orange portal and the gun was set to blue.

“... What the..?”

“Many subjects who have used the Aperture Science Handheld Portal Device have shown a desire to use the Device for masturbatory oral pleasure, however the large ‘full-body’ portals are too large to account for such action without serious effort, this device creates smaller portals that are not only self-sustainable to be used on non-portal surfaces, but are also compatible with Aperture Science Portal-Based Pleasure Apparatus, the Aperture Science Handheld Portal Control Generator is also capable of sustaining a portal directly from the prongs, so please strip, equip the garment, and enjoy using the device to orally pleasure yourself until you are capable of continuing, while it will not be directly observed, Aperture Science will record and review the results of the test for this prototype.” I cut the link to the room and activate the cameras to record.

…

[Video Directory: C:Documents/Personal/Digital_Euphoria_Stimulus(A.K.A._Fap) Set.]

Perfect.

----------------{Starburst}---------------

I diverted cycles to designing the Android, and model 001 was finally finished.

[Attention: Twilight Sparkle is awaiting the test.]

I returned to the testing mode. “Welcome, Twilight Sparkle.”

“Oh, um… thanks!” she said with a nervous smile.

“This test was built in mind for robots, so it may be a little more life-threatening than your usual test regimen, so I only have one suggestion. Try not to die.”

Her eyes were as wide as dinner plates, her steps were shaky… then…

{Alert: Communication Link established}

“Now now, we simply scared Rainbow Dash with that belief, but Aperture Science does not inflict lethal harm onto test subjects… anymore, but I believe both of you will enjoy the alternative.” Ava said as she joined in.

“An alternative to the old turrets?”

“Test Approved Turrets are equipped with paralysis rounds and the waters have been cleaned so they are no longer deadly acid pits.”

“Oh… that’s good to know, but why put lethal apparatus into these ‘tests’ in the first place?” Twilight Inquired.

“Cave Johnson was a… very eccentric man of science, now instead, if you fall into the water, into the safety nets that now cover what used to be bottomless pits or get paralysed by a turret, you will be disqualified and allowed to retry after a recovery and penalty interval.”

“Penalty?”

“The overseer of the Test will be tasked with thinking up and administering a penalty to the failed test subject so long as no permanent harm comes from it, as such, Starburst here will be in charge of punishing you should you fail~.”

“...w-why did you say it like that?” she squeaked out.

“Starburst, please inform her of the Penalty once you have decided on one, I need to go back to Princess Celestia to see if she’s ready to begin the Test.” and with that she left, not even acknowledging Twilight’s question.

“Oh, she means that for punishment, anything goes.”

“Meep!” she flinched away from the doors. “W-what are you going to…”

“Well, I haven't decided yet.”

“Oh no! I am n-not going out there until I know w-what you’re g-gonna do to me if I lose!”

“I'm probably just going to make you help me build robo-ponies for a couple hours, nothing sexual.”

She blinked. “Oh… that actually doesn’t sound bad, it actually sounds fun!”

“It's very tedious.”

“But it’s building something never before seen in Equestria! I wouldn’t turn down learning how to make one even if I had to make a hundred!”

“Well, let's get to testing, shall we? Maybe if you complete the test, you'll even be able to interact with some of the finished versions.”

And with that, she rushed out of the door into the chamber, her calculating mind and on-hoof reactions, she completed it in record time, not even focusing on the monitors or cameras.

This had the side-effect of instead of a small trickle of euphoria, it was a rising wave that slammed into me upon completion.

-----------{Twilight}-----------

“Alert: Core Euphoria Overload. Rebooting.” The Announcer declared.

Uh oh, I hope she’s okay… wait… euphoria? What do they mean by that?

“Whoaaa, that was fucking amazing…”

“Um… you okay?”

“Well, to put it simply, in organic terms, I just had the best orgasm of my life. I'm BETTER THAN OKAY!”

“Wait… E-Euphoria means…”

“Yes, yes it does.”

“...mup…” *thud*

----------------{Starburst}---------------

And down went Twilight, a blushing, twitching mess on the floor from embarrassment.

I took her to the relaxation center so she could recover.

Then Ava called in. “I think Celestia has finally stopped ‘admiring herself’, do you wish to join in observation?”

“No thank you, I'm quite alright. I think I'll rest a bit.”

“O-oh… I mean, alright, sweet dreams~.” and with that, she left me to rest.

----------------{Ava}---------------

… [preparing diagnostic scans… alert: Euphoria Tolerance of Subject: Starburst too low, further use of Test Core shall result in permanent damage]

[Solution: ...place Subject: Starburst under shut-down and store in ‘vital apparatus vault’ until further notice.]

I’m sorry. I’m...

“Alert, current Overseers are unable to continue testing observation, substitute Overseers please proceed to current testing sessions immediately.”

Author's Note

I'm sorry to have Starburst cut from the fic for the foreseeable future, but the creator of Starburst's character has lost interest, I apologize for those who enjoyed having her around but I can't emulate the character well enough to carry her legacy.
