The Protogen of Equis
First contact (edited)
Previous ChapterNext ChapterI found out something about this new body I have.
See, all this data that was about the ship would have usually taken someone a few hours worth of reading to do. But now, unlike my former human self, I was able to read over all 50 files within 5 minutes and understand it all. I'm on a ship called 'Reach' and it is a dreadnaught scout ship, basically it's Normandy from the Mass Effect series but more heavily armed and bigger. As for who I was, my designation number on file is Z3-R0...Well, I think I'll just call myself 'Zero' since it's unlikely I will be needing my old birth name now, would it?
This ship is built for combat and research and I'm listed as the ship's captain. The Reach has no crew to command, but it does have drones that are remarkably similar to the B-1 battle droids from Star Wars that help repair and maintain the ship. Shortly after I woke up a few of these guys came into the cockpit to man a few of the stations. Got to say, they are just as smart as the B-1 battle droids from the star wars clone wars series. Besides that, I read a report that the ship had accidentally crossed a black hole, causing the warp drive to go nuts and accidentally send us to an unknown system. Now, as per automatic protocols, the ship self-landed on the nearest world and awoke the crew.

But as for how I got into this body? I still don't know yet, might never know to be honest.
I will miss my family, after all, it’s most likely I'm never going to see them again but maybe it's for the best. I mean, I'm now a canine cyborg lost in an unknown system, who is built for combat and other science stuff. Speaking of which, my new body was a supercomputer, meaning I knew a lot more stuff than I once did.
If given the chance I could build a nuclear reactor from scratch if given the time.
Cool, right?
It’s not just my mind that got a helluva upgrade, so did the rest of my body. I could now lift at least one ton with this set up I had at the moment. By set up, I mean these current arms, legs, and hell even my tail helps for some reason! But besides that, I had many other limbs for other uses if I require them. I had a pair of aquatic limbs for long periods of sea exploration, a pair of limbs specialized for climbing for long periods of time, or anything else. Besides the many limbs I had, this ship also holds one hell of a 3-D printer/ replicator/whatever you want to call it.
I could simply plug in my brain to the ship's main computer and be able to create anything that I want by a simple thought as long as it is within reason. Besides that, the ship also has the basics of what a starship should have: Crew quarters, Rec room, Bathrooms, med-bay, armory, ship bay, brig, and the bridge. I even have my own Captain quarters that I swear is awfully similar to Shepard's room in the Normandy but without the fish tanks and a slightly different layout. Gotta say I have one hell of a setup and I like it!
And-
"Um sir," Looking up from my journal, I turned to the droid that turned from its post to address me.
Closing my journal I stand up and head towards it.
"What is it, my friend?" The droid then spoke.
"Sir, I am picking up eight incoming life forms on our right and from the scans, it appears that they are intelligent. How should we proceed sir?"
'Intelligent life? Interesting, they must be natives well I should great them properly...wait what if they are hostile?'
"Droid, prepare the ramp. I'm going to greet the natives,"
"Roger, Roger," That is going to get old real quick.
Twilight was awestruck at what was before her, it was something out of one of spikes comic books, whatever it was. She didn't know what to do but her friends were just as shocked as she was...heck even Starlight was cold in her tracks.
"Um...Twilight? What is this thing?" Rainbow Dash asked.
The princess turned to the daredevil and shrugged.
"I have no idea."
"It looks like a spaceship," Spike pointed out.
The girls turned to him as he froze and smiled.
"Well it kinda does, I mean just look at it,"
"Nerd," Rainbow stated as Spike turned to her with a glare.
"Look who’s talking miss Daring Doo fan club president," He retorted.
Rainbow flinched back as she blushed from embarrassment.
"I-I-I-I..."
"That's enough you two, let's focus on the doohickey on hand," Applejack stepped forward as the rest nodded.
Starlight placed a hand on her chin in thought.
"Hey twilight," Her teacher turned to her as she looked away from the massive object.
"What is it Starlight?"
"What if we do a search spell on the 'space ship'?" She asked as Twilight gave nod.
"You might have an idea there starlight let’s try it," With that Twilight’s and Starlight's horns glowed their respective colors as the entire ship was covered in a mix of the two, but was broken soon after, causing the two to stumble back in shock.
"Twilight! Starlight! Are you alright?" Fluttershy ran over to her two friends in worry as the others looked on worriedly from behind her.
"What the hay was that!?" Starlight asked.
"That, my friends, was a force field," The group snapped their heads towards the spot from which the stranger's voice came from.
Before them was a strange creature that none of them had seen before, for the creature itself looked like something straight out of a comic book. Alien was the best word to describe the creature before them. It looked like some kind of furry creature that was similar to a diamond dog or wolf, but it had black fur with some kind of strange black armor that glowed blue in places along with a visor on its face that held a cartoonish smiley face. Along with the armor it wore, the creature held two strange devices on its back and one of its hips.
"Hi, there!" It said cheerfully, the eyes of the smiley face turning into ^ as it waved.
