As I woke up yawning and stretching in my bed my wonderful secretary Diamond Tiara came up to me with some coffee. She is the only other pony who I trust the most since working with me for so many years. “Ah good morning Tiara, did you sleep well?” I asked her. Hehe even though we’re kind of friends, she still speaks formally. Then again it’s always nice to have somepony who respects you without judgement, especially in these times.

“Yes ma’am, of course I did.” Diamond said enthusiastically. As I drink my coffee I can’t help but giggle for a few moments. Ever since I destroyed all magic in equestria, everypony started to panic. Then years after that ponies, griffons, changelings, and every other creature started rebuilding themselves, creating organizations, and the best part “upgrading” themselves. The other best part is watching the news seeing somepony or creature suffer because they were different, it’s so pathetic.

“Alright Tiara, what’s on today’s schedule?” I asked her. She uses her cybernetic eyes to look into the media while smiling to me.

“Well first, you have an appointment with Miss Rarity. Second of course is the monthly deal with Miss Polomare. And lastly is to wait for the right pony.” Tiara said happily. Good good everything is fine, I’m sure Rarity hasn’t done anything drastic. She is the CEO of Pony Robotics but has not contacted me for updates in a while.

I finally finished my coffee and headed outside towards the balcony. It’s where I go to think back on the good old days with Chrysalis and Tirek. I sigh everytime because they disappeared in 2069, even though I have the most eyes and ears everywhere and the most connections I couldn’t find them. Maybe they’re in the same boat as me but I just really miss them.

“Tiara call her will you?” I asked emotionlessly. She was lucky enough to hear me and after a few minutes, Rarity’s hologram pops up from inside my system. Hmph I could see the disappointment on her face as we both looked at each other. Though it was pointless since I can basically cause chaos without even trying.

“What do you want darling? I’m a very busy mare.” Rarity said bluntly.

“Oh nothing it’s just that you haven’t told me in a while about how the project is going.” I said while glaring at her.

“Ah that, well you see I have my suspicions that the EBI is onto me. And I have to constantly make up a lie or two that nothing is going on. But rest assured that the project will be done in a couple of days.” Rarity said slightly angry. I also got a little angry myself, that organization is always nosy when it comes to technology. And the project is hopefully my state of the art mark 3 sweetie bot guards, you can never have too much security.

“Hmm I see, well that certainly is a problem. Please be careful and keep me updated will you?” I said. Rarity gave me a nod and a short bow after she disconnected. I then headed back inside and to the kitchen where Diamond Tiara started setting up breakfast, she saw the little angry look I had and was curious.

“Something went wrong didn’t it?” She asked.

“You could say that, but it’s not a problem as long as she keeps her lips tight.” I said with concern. After I sat down in my seat I used my remote to turn on the tv to watch the news. Of course something terrible happens, but one of them caught my attention. The news reporter says that Starlight Glimmer, a cybernetic pony, has been found guilty for killing a few OPs for “being inconsiderate”. I don’t know that mare very much but I’ve talked to her in secret a few times and she’s very pleasant to be around with.

“Should I help her out while you go to deal with Miss Polomare?” Tiara said almost reading my mind. Hmm maybe I’ll help her out later if she’s still ok.

“No it’s fine, I’ll go see Suri and get it over with. Thank you though.” I said smiling at Diamond. I hurriedly ate my breakfast and headed for Manehattan. Although it’s not cybernetic friendly, there are a few ponies and creatures who treat upgraded ones with respect. Plus it’s still a good city.

After a long train ride I finally made it to the Manehattan station. A while after I got off I was stopped by an armored stallion guard, with an armored mare guard with him.
“Oh great another one of you plastic dolls, alright stand still.” He said disgustingly while he started scanning me. I couldn’t see their faces since they have secured helmets on but I already knew the faces they were making.

After he was done scanning me and nodding his partner started to chimed in.

“Alright tin can you’re clean, welcome to Manehattan. Don’t start anything unless you want to be filled with bullets.” The armored mare guard said threateningly. Even though I’m half organic, they still treat those that are upgraded like dogs. Though I don’t really care since they don’t know exactly who I am.

I already knew where me and Suri were meeting up, it was at a private hotel not too far away. As I made my way there, being stopped by more armored guards occasionally, I finally made it. After I went inside and reserved a room I quietly waited for my client. Within 20 minutes Suri arrived with two guards of her own with a smile on her face, once she saw me then went closer to me she bowed gracefully.

“Miss Glow it’s so good to see you again, you’ll have to excuse my tardiness. I was getting carried away at my favorite coffee shop.” Suri said happily.

“It’s quite alright Miss Polomare, now I believe we have a deal to settle.” I said impatiently. I didn’t want to waste time as the last thing on my schedule was going to be unpredictable.

“Of course, please stand by here ok?” She said to her guards that both saluted and stood by the entrance of the hotel. After a quick elevator to our private room Suri opened the door for us and closed it, automatically locking it.

“Alright Suri, what do you have for me?” I asked her curiously. She winked at me and uploaded some information about the Solar Empire into my system. It was bits and pieces of how advanced their guards are, what their allies were, and bits of blueprints of something I couldn’t quite figure out. And it certainly will be useful to my advantage sometime later. As I smiled and nodded to her she made a smile of her own.

“Well I’m waiting.” Suri said expectantly. Of course how could I forget.

“Yeah yeah, here’s your data.” I said as I uploaded some data containing a location she requested so many times to me. I don’t really care about it as long as I can get what I want.

“Mmm a pleasure as always.” She said politely. Once our deal was over we both went our separate ways again. After being hassled by armored guards again, I finally made it back to the train station and back home waiting for the third thing on my schedule to arrive.
