Fly's always end up where they aren't supposed to be, weather that be in the attic locked all day, or the very tea the princesses of Equestria was drinking from. They, also, always die shortly after weather that be because of a spiders web it couldn't see, or a spell being shot at it recorded as "being able to melt even the most heavily enchanted armours with ease".

The situation was no different for a Fly in the Frozen North. How it found its self in A facility located at the core of A mountain, with the only way in being sealed long ago, was anyone's guess, but there it was. We now have where it wasn't supposed to be, so how does it die? Well...

*SIZZLE* *WWHHHOOOOMMMMM*

Its death was caused by few thousand volts passing through its being for a split second, at least it didn't feel A thing; and hay, that split second was all that was needed to return the minimum amount of power from the secondary power source to the main feeds, allowing the facility to run on 'self-sufficient' mode. What this meant for any creature that could of been inside the facility, was that every 1 in 5 lights where on their demist setting. For pony's that live in the sun, the light level was just about manageable after A few minutes of adjustment, but for those insects that also shouldn't be there it meant that the light level turned from a winter day to looking directly at the sun on A summers day. Safe to say that there was a lot of scurrying insects trying to crawl into any crack, away from the insulting light.

At this point you could accuse me of rattling on about nonsense and you would be right, I am. You see this isn't a small facility, nor is it running on full, or even optimum, power and the magical systems and runes used throughout the place haven't been maintained in just as long of a time, as this place has been unused. Hopefully, by now, I have given the facility enough time to get the mai-

FINALLY! now lets go join the main reason you're here and get the story started from 'its' perspective...

??? Pov

There isn't anything in front of me? No... no, that's not right it's not that there isn't anything there it's just that I... can't perceive what is there due to a lack of... of... SIGHT, sight that's it!

Almost as if by command, the slides covering my visual preceptors parted, allowing light to grace them with their presence for the first time ever and it showed. At first, the visual preceptors, deemed "Eyes" by... somepon-

some-unit, only shown an image too dim for even an owl to see. So they adjusted. The next image was too bright given that all this unit could see where six white orbs around the room. So they adjusted. Finally, they presented this unit with an image with easily distinguishable objects, not before much waiting mind you, which this unit understands perfectly... as perfectly as someunit in A room they don't know, surrounded by things they don't know, could understand the situation they find themselves in.

As this unit was working out the image before, with all its stone tables (desks?) and glass containers, this unit figured out that moving the visual preceptors around provided different, well, perceptions of the space around this unit. To this units left are wooden cubes that had there tops missing, filled with what looks to be more of those glass containers inside, next to A red metal box on wheels filled with... red claws and metal blades? that was probably wrong, but it was all this unit can think of to describe them right now. To this units right is A large role of paper stretched out over A table, which was unsurprisingly covered in dust, with the tables length being at least double that of the others, and while this unit couldn't see what was printed onto it exactly due to the elevation between this unit relative to the paper, this unit could see blue, brown and red adorned most of its space. Right beside this unit, on the right, is A black pillar with A hole and small flashing red light resting at the same level as the, now recognised, desks around the room.

A, bright transparent, box suddenly appeared at the top right of this units 'vision' containing lots of lines and dots... oh never mind, that's a language and those lines and dots have meanings to them. Shame this unit doesn't kno-

never mind yet again! That does bring up the question how this unit understood anything before loading any of this...

seems like this unit needs LOTS more power... and who's Dr Hot Metal? Anyway, back to the text box that appeared just.

WOULD YOU LIKE TO FOCUS ALL REMAINING POWER INTO SINGLE BOOT-UP SEQUENCES AT ONE TIME? Y/N

Yes please! Does that include this units mind I wou-

Narrator Pov

Yep, 'it' did just do that and no, it won't be back for a while. for you see when it said "all remaining power", it meant ALL remaining power it could get. This includes the facility its self, all the lights and any other scraps it can get its, metaphorical, hands on. So the inside of the facility/lab became as dead as a door nail, not that I know what is particularly dead about a door nail as it didn't 'live' in the first place, just like the outside had been for a very long time. have I told you how long it's been? In reality, I haven't because I don't know exactly, but i'm going to say it's because it adds some drama to the hole, thing wakes up, thing then proceeds to turn its self off like an IDIOT... by the way that was the main character for this story, just believe me when I say he doesn't always act like a new born opening there eyes for the first time, even if that is technically true in this case. Who am I to know such things? wouldn't you like to know.

Author's Note

It's OK, I have found out how to edit chapters now... it was as obvious as you would think. too be fair, i was writing this ad midnight so i wasn't the most aware of everything at the time.

Yes, I will be replacing every 'I', 'me', 'my' and 'everyONE' with 'this unit' or 'unit' and it's variations. after all it's A robot, not a pony. Next chapter we will get a look at what 'it' looks like.
