fallout equestria: project communicate

-------- Day one -------
White.

At first all I saw was White. Of course I had no idea what I was supposed to be seeing, and I had a basic idea of what I was, but the basics for life where there. So not being able to see anything that could have built me seemed wrong.

"hello? can you hear me?" A voice called out in the white.

"hello, who is there?" I asked, using my pre programed knowledge of how to speak.

"Lilly pad, I'm your technician," The voice replied. "I want you to tell me if everything is working properly," It instructed.

"I see white, my limbs function, my cognitive spell matrix functions, my-"

"Sorry you said all you see is white?" The voice cut me off.

"Yes, all I see is white, is that an error?" I asked, not with alarm as, I only felt 'aware'.

"Yes, I'm going to shut you down so I can fix this alright?" The voice asked with what I can only describe as care in the voice.

"Of course." I responded, or at least I recorded doing so, before I was suddenly in a large room. inside this room was a mirror hung on the back wall, a large door on the wall to my left, and several tools and work benches filled the floor. The mare unicorn standing in front of me had a green coat with a blue and yellow striped main that was in tangles of un kept mess, and under that tangle was a pair of pale brown eyes.

"Hello, Colton, can you see ok now?" The mare asked.

"Yes, I can see now, you are Lilly pad correct?" I asked as to verify that I was indeed speaking to my technician.

"Yes, I'm Lilly pad," She responded in a friendly tone. "Could you please step in front of the mirror?" She instructed.

Obeying the issued command, I stepped up to the mirror and in the reflection I saw, a dirty green stallion with a sand yellow main and tail and blue eyes. "That is me correct?" The question was odd, I knew that, but I needed to verify.

"Yes, yes it is. So we made sure that your Hud was disabled for your first test run, Fluttershy thought it might be overwhelming for, I am going to activate it now," As she said that she used a device attached to her foreleg to connect to the outlet in my chest. I hadn't noticed the device before, It was a grey box with a green lit up screen in the center, on one side of the box was a series of buttons and dials that must be used to operate it, I deducted this because that appeared to be how she was using it.

Within a minute of her statement a series of symbols showing, power consumption, power generation, limp integrity and strength as well as many other useful pieces of information came up in my vision, this was my Hud, with enough information to make me combat capable should the worst come to light.

Just as I was getting aquatinted with my Hud, a pale yellow mare with a pink main, and a shy look walked into the room.

"sorry to bother you Lilly pad, but is Colton working?" She asked with in a timid voice.

"yes, he seems to be fully functional with only a minor error in his sensors that I have already fixed," She had said this with an air of pride. I decided that I wanted to ask what the devise she was wearing was but seeing as a new pony had just come I waited.

"Hello Colton, I'm Fluttershy, I wanted to come see you, if that's alright with you." I didn't understand why she wanted my opinion, I was designed to be a negotiator was I not? or maybe that was another error in my system telling me that I was something other then what I was.

Now I would explain what happened next but the next 3 days consisted of mostly testing and making sure I worked properly. I met the rest of the team working on me over the course of that 3 day period, witch turned out to be a very small team of just 10 ponies.

-------- Day 5 --------

Tstoday seemed to be moving slow for everypony, or at least it was for the 2 in my room with me. everypony was busy with war business and at the moment the only two ponies available to talk to where Lilly pad, and Lilac springs, Lilac was a white mare with a blue main who seemed to see me as a piece of equipment rather then a living being, now of course I saw myself that way too, I was a machine after all was I not?

At the moment they where teaching me what was right and what was wrong, something that was apparently very important for me to know, why I didn't know yet, but they where part of the team that brought me into existence so I trusted that they where right.

"Anything illegal is wrong, so I'm going to give you a list of equestrian laws as well as the appropriate conditions for when they can be broken, witch is very few," Said Lilly, before connecting her Pipbuck, as she had taught me it was called, to my chest and uploading a list of laws to my inner data base.

"Thank you Lilly" I responded, I had been taught basic etiquette the evening before by a purple mare with a dark purple and pink striped main, named Twilight Sparkle, and the leader of the Ministry of peace, Fluttershy, the mare from my first day alive.

"Not a problem Colton!" She exclaimed, before Lilac turned and scoffed at her.

"Stop talking to it like it has feeling Lilly, it's just a robot so we don't get shot while discussing peace with the zebras,"

Now it was Lilly's turn to scoff, "And we plan to give him feeling hen the war is over, I assume because it would be horrible to bring him into a world like this with feelings," What she was talking about I didn't know, but I assumed it must be important war stuff so I didn't interrupt.

The rest of that day went by with little of interest other then the fact that at 7:23 Pm, an alarmed sounded and Ponies in armored barding wearing saddle bags that appeared to be medical boxes rushed out of two large double doors before disappearing out of sight.

------ Day 6 ----- ------ The Day of the blasts -----

The start of the day went as normal, everything seemed to be going very well and I was now learning how to tell if a pony meant harm using body cues, Fluttershy wasn't available as she had important business in Canterlot, I was taught on day 2 the major city's and given a map of Equestria, at the moment I was in Manehatten, in my little supply closet that had been converted into a room.

By the time we finished with that lesson I was told I could do what I pleased for the rest of today as there where plans to send me to canterlot for better lessons in the morning. So I decided to watch the news to see what was going on in equestria.

At 5:15 that day the news announced that Cloudesdale had been bombed, and that the Pegasi had closed up the sky. 2 minutes later a large explosion sounded outside and the large tower he was in collapsed on top of him, killing everypony inside, except for him.
