Why did being head of a Ministry have to involve talking to so many ponies? Fluttershy thought. "All you need to do is show everypony how important it is to do this, and then we can stop the war and all the death for good,"

She paced around her office. There was 20 minutes until she needed to speak to the group of ponies about their new, very secret, project. She had hoof picked their most loyal, and smartest ponies from both her own Ministry, and Twilight's Ministry.

"You'll do fine, you just have to talk to them kindly and they'll help," She whispered to herself in the mirror. she would have to do this if she wanted to stop the war soon. but is it right to make artificial life? With some help from Twilight it would be able to feel emotions. no wait, we don't want that, it's supposed to be completely un bias. so maybe they could give it feelings after the war was over, so having a spell for that ready would be a good idea right?

"Ma'am, you're on," said the brown stallion that had peeked into the office.

"Alright, I'll be out in a minute," Fluttershy said quietly.

Walking out onto her podium she looked out on the 10 hoof picked ponies assigned this project. 5 from her own Ministry
and 5 from Twilights.

"Um, hello. I know that you all must want to know why you're here, and why you had to sign the loyalty wavers," She said in a whisper that was too quite but still audible. "the reason you're all here, is because I want you to make a robot, one that will understand and learn,"

They all looked at each other as though this might be impossible, but one by one each pony in the room nodded. this was it, the project was now going to take place. it would have to start tomorrow, as nopony knew just how much time they had before things went to far down hill. so with a quite sigh of relief, she explained the actual details of the project, thanked everypony for coming, and went to her office.

"I really hope this works, too many ponies die everyday," little did she know, that in a few months time, bombs would fall and what was left of Equestria would be even worse then the horrors she had seen so far.

Author's Note

The only reason I don't go into more detail about the project is because ,one I'm entirely sure about it yet, and two, I want the main character to have to discover that all for himself as the story progresses.
