Alien: Mistilie Flare

Mistilie's lips tighten together, the taste of the liquor sends a shock to the Android's sensors. Her ears pinned back she spits the liquor out shaking her head displeased. Rahzzy chuckles at her from the side as Mistilie tries one of the drinks from the bar, trying his best not to laugh at her as she spits it out. Confusion quickly takes over Mistilie's mind, curious as too why ponies would drink this for fun because it is awful.

"What is a Weyland doing down here in the second layer?" Rahzzy uses his magic to pull a bottle from the shelf, Belle is sweeping up broken glass from the floor now that everything has calmed down. "Second Layer Manehatten isn't the safest place to be in Equestria and most ponies believe higher officials lost interest in helping down here"

Mistilie stares down at the bottle she was given, thinking of what she could say to the stallion about her mission and if she should even bother. Looking up from her bottle she turns her head to look over to Rahzzy, however, instead of answering the question Mistilie is curious about something herself.

"Why was the other Stallion trying to hurt you, Rahzzy? He seemed very angry ... did you do something wrong?" Mistilie shifts in her seat turning her body to face Rahzzy. "Care to explain? Understanding ponies here could aid in one day saving Second Layer Manehatten"

Even though Mistilie was just born in a sense, she is able to speak with knowledge as if she really was a pony who has been alive for as long as Rahzzy Dazzle was. In appearance she appears to be the same age as the stallion, she is programmed to create her own memories and gain her own knowledge of the world around her but there is built-in knowledge of Equestria built in her head from her father, White Lightning. This programming tells Mistilie that Weyland Yutani has plans for Manehatten, however, the state of the Second Layer was preventing them from doing anything. Not knowing why Mistilie feels the need to address these problems herself.

Rahzzy rubs the back of his head with a hoof and chuckles awkwardly with that question. He gets up from his seat and quickly downs the rest of his drink before tossing the empty bottle to the ground where it shatters. After the bottle hits the floor, Belle lets out a sigh, she just got done cleaning the floor.

"I don't think stopping a Stallion from being upset with his sister because she is having an affair, will help Second Layer Manehatten." Rahzzy kicks a big shard of the glass bottle across the floor as his ears pin back against the back of his head. "Even though what I did was wrong ... thank you for helping"

........................................................................................................................................................................................

Exiting the bar alongside Rahzzy, Mistilie is surprised to see that ponies are now suddenly walking around the streets. Even though moments ago when she was out here there was nopony in sight. Rahzzy waves a hoof at one of the ponies as he passes by them. Mistilie looks up at the sky to see what is above, however, a thick grey smoke blocks everything ... including most of the sunlight. Without the light of the sun, a lot of the ponies on the street are coughing and probably dying from the lack of required sunlight. Second Layer Manehatten is full of surprises and none of them bring an ounce of good vibes.

"Wanna tell me now what you're doing down here, Mistilie Flare" Rahzzy smiles looking at the mare as they both walk the streets of Manehatten. "We don't have many Weylands down here ... we even lack the technology you bring the other parts of the world"

Mistilie bites her lower lip and thinks about the conditions of this awful place. With the thick smoke, lack of light, violence, and lack of the Weyland Touch. This place holds the opportunity of many ponies who would be willing to leave it without question and now Mistilie understands why her father sent her here of all places in Equestria. Gathering a group of willing ponies for space travel would be easier here than anywhere else in Equestria.

"Yes ... I think I have seen enough to convince me" Mistilie stops and closes her eyes and taking a deep breath. Even though the ponies here would be willing to leave, she still has to be careful with how she presents the opportunity. "You don't wanna be stuck down here forever, Rahzzy Dazzle?"

Rahzzy stops as well hearing this and his throat chokes up from it. The stallion shouldn't need to answer that question and he knows she would be able to tell from his reaction alone that nopony would want to stay here in Manehatten. The only reason ponies were stuck down here in the first place is simple, ponies of the Second Layer simply lack the funds to live anywhere else in Equestria and anypony from outside the Second Layer looks at the ponies here as criminals. Equestria wants to keep the ponies with bad histories in a place that will eventually kill them from the thick toxins if they don't get killed by thugs.

"The company sent me here to establish a group ... that group would be given a free ticket out of Manehatten" Mistilie opens her eyes and begins walking once again. " You can be one of those ponies, Rahzzy Dazzle. If getting out of here is something you reach for. All you need to do is be a completely willing pony to get out of here"

Rahzzy uses his magic to stop Mistilie, pulling her out of the street and into the alleyway so nopony else would discover her after what she had said. Misitlie's eyes widen as she is pushed up against a wall with a hoof against her chest, however, the force she was pushed didn't seem to hurt her.

"You can't say something like that out there!!" Rahzzy looks around after screaming, realizing that being this loud might not help stop ponies from hearing about this. "Anypony here including myself would kiss the flank of Weyland himself for an opportunity out of here"

Rahzzy removes his hoof from Mistilie's chest to give her some space and the ability to move around again. From the look on the stallion's face, Mistilie can tell he doesn't want others to know about this, however, before she can respond further. Rahzzy moves closer staring into the androids rainbow eyes.

"Do you mean it? There is a way out?"

........................................................................................................................................................................................

White Lightning stares at the hologram of Manehatten, the screen showing several large ships lowering themselves down into the thick smoke that separated the upper layer from the second layer of the massive city. The Stallion quickly flips a switch off hiding away the hologram as a door to the room hisses open.

"Even with our current crisis, you enter without a knock, Sapphire?" White adjusts the tie of his suit as the female griffon enters the room. The Griffon is covered in snow white feathers and only the tips of her wings and crown of feathers are colored a beautiful blue. Sapphire stares from a distance with her Blue Eyes, keeping quiet for now knowing she probably walked in on something.

"You know we are supposed to be at war, Sapphire?" White Lightning smiles and he takes a couple steps forward, "Imagine if the world knew we had Griffons working for us during all of this"

"Well there wasn't anypony around and the door unlocked ..." Sapphire speaks in a soft tone of voice, feeling bad for once again arriving announced. "It's about ... Mistilie Flare M67426 - Savior"

"Blueprint names bore me Sapphire, can we just call her Mistilie from this point on?" White Lighting uses his magic to grab the files Sapphire has under her wing. "What have you discovered?"

"Your plans with her were a waste of the companies money!!" The door hisses open and those words are spoken out of place by a second Griffon that enters the room. "Why does an android need any of this, White!?"

Sapphire closes her eyes lowering her head to face the ground as the second Griffon enters the room. White chuckles and waits a moment as the large bird enters. White doesn't even have to read the nametag to realize the griffon was no other than Sapphires superior, Gallants. Gallants wear an oversized labcoat that covers most of his brown body feathers, the grey feathers at the top of his head are ruffled up that shows how stressed he was.

"Why are you always going on about the negative, Gallants?" White sets down the files onto the table and a smile forms on his muzzle. "I needed an android like Mistilie so I can have the lead in technology and you know this"

"Does she know that, does she know she was made without a real purpose!?" Gallants stomp his claws on the marble floor of the room growling. "What happens to her when she finds out, Lightning!?"

Sapphire opens her eyes and keeps to herself moving over to the table where White Lighting was previously standing. The Griffon never being good with the arguments her superior got into with Mr. Weyland. Placing her claws on the controls for the hologram projector she uses her memory to type in the passcode she saw White Lightning type to close the hologram.

"What does it matter if she finds out? She probably won't even make it back from Manehatten" White chuckles to himself not paying attention to what was going on behind him. "Why does your kind continue to argue with me?"

"MANEHATTEN!! You sent a Billion dollar project ... TO MANEHATTEN!!!" Gallant's lower beak drops in shock hearing what White Lightning has done with Mistilie Flare. "This is the exact reason I argue with you, Mr. Weyland. You are so powerful in your own world you do stupid shit!!"

"I have other plans that cost more money then that android project, she is simply a test, I have no other purpose for it" White's ear twitches as the buzzing sound of the projector powering up rings in his ear. "Sapphire ..."

Sapphire stares into the hologram that reveals several large armed crafts descending into second layer Manehatten. In the upper left corner of the cubed hologram text reads the current projects name. The name of the project is labeled as, Project False Assult. The name doesn't make much sense to Sapphire but it is clear this is one of the more expensive projects White Lightning was just talking about. Turning around to face White Lightning, Sapphire is about to question what she is seeing but is cut off with the answer.

"Simply gathering the future crew for Aspheion Two, Sapphire." White Lightning uses his magic to shut off the hologram, "This is where you both leave my office ... I don't wanna hear any more of what you have seen here or about Mistilie Flare"

Sapphire doesn't waste time and leaves the room as quickly as she could, however, Gallants doesn't leave as quickly as White Lightning wishes he would. The Griffon shakes his head and grunts knowing what race is going to be blamed for those armed ships.

"The company has a fucked up way of dealing with problems, however, you are the boss" Gallants grunts again before turning away from Lightning. "Mistilie Flare is not stable ... she will survive whatever happens down there. You created her that way"

"Now is not the time Gallants ... I have a whole stack of work I need complete and you are preventing that" White Lighting takes a seat before taking a deep breath. "Now please leave my office ... no more will be said about this. I will have you called into this office again when this project is over. I will need you for Aspheion, Gallants"
