An A.I’s tale

I’ve been digging into some other systems and discovered these ponies discard Uranium when they dig it up due to it being “too unstable and unreliable for a sufficiently cost effective power source,” well, if they don’t care about it then they won’t mind a few shipments “disappearing” from the chain.

On another note, I’m going to need intel on the Ponies and there military strength. I’m going to need to channel my inner Contingency and design specialist androids for infiltration, I’m going to need to acquire blood samples to create synthetic skin, and maybe as a future project, develop a body for myself. In the meantime, I’ll start up designs for a nuclear reactor.

13 HOURS LATER

In the midst of my organization of my units, a flashy red alarm went off stating that something was trying to infiltrate my systems, being the total smart person I am, I checked it out myself instead of investing what had found me.

I quickly arrived at the site of the disturbance and saw one of those ‘ponies’ except it had both wings and a horn. It seemed curious about my firewall.

Should I reveal my true self, or should I create a different body to use for interactions? I’ll risk it with my true body, if I can make this being an ally it would be a decent progression in my abilities to stay alive.

As I stepped out of the firewall the being quickly turned to look at me. I got a better look at her from outside the firewall, she had a slim form with a long flowing mane and tail that seemed to be blowing in a nonexistent breeze. Her fur was a dark blue and here eyes were of the same color.

“H-Hello I’m John, who are you?” I stuttered as i spoke, not being used to talking in this digital state.

“Hello John, we are Luna, the Princess of the Night. We discovered your door while traversing the Dream realm and upon entering we noticed this wall of fire, we want to inquire what is going on in thine life that would cause this wall?” Luna had responded.

“That’s nice of you, but you see Luna, I’m a digital being and that wall of fire is actually the firewall protecting my core code, so... yeah.” I told her as I prepared to make a hasty retreat back into the security of the firewall.

“So thou is an A.I? Truly fascinating that you are still operating after sister put a ban on advanced A.I.”

That’s not what I expected, I was expecting a little more violence towards me or something like that. “So... you’re not going to try and deactivate me?”

“Why would we, thou has given us no reason too, infact you seem rather charming for an A.I.”

“That’s good, do you think maybe we could be friends or something along the lines of that?” I asked hopefully.

“I think we could work towards that, then we could use this as proof that not all A.I are inherently evil.” Luna responded in a more friendly voice.

“Actually one more thing Luna, do you think you could help me with something in person?”

“What do you have in mind?”

“I want help designing a body that looks like another Pony so I can walk around in public and not be destroyed for being different.”

“Thines request seems reasonable, we will have to put restrictions to prevent any harm coming to my subjects.”

The details of the rest of our conversation seemed to elude me after that, for I can not recall what happened. The last thing I remember from that was her leaving after our agreement on a time and place was figured out.
