When the tram arrived and stopped, the security guard on duty walked up to the door. The guard was non other than her new friend from the Storm King invasion, Tempest Shadow. A mare with a dark pink coat and cut mane, with a scar over her eye.

"Aww, the Princess of Friendship decided to put her hair into a bun." Tempest teased.

"Oh, wo is me, I am so hurt by this." Twilight teased back.

"How was your night and why did you change it up." Tempest asked as she opened the door.

"Well I wanted a new look so I decided to go with a new look. A new day a new me after all Tempest. I think that's Rarity's influence I suppose." Twilight said with a massive grin that could almost rival Pinkie's as they walked towards the airlock type entrance.

"Well that's awesome, but on another note, I heard you are going to do a big test today. Know what it is?" Tempest asked.

"No, but I bet it's going to be the very best thing to happen in a while." Twilight exclaimed excitedly.

"I bet it is. Welp be safe in the test chamber and you are starting to run late. My shift is almost over as well and See ya." Tempest said.

"Yeah, see ya!" Twilight said as she waved to the former villain as the airlock closed.

A minute passes by and the other side of the airlock opened. Twilight walked over to the desk in the lobby.

"Hey everypony, what's going on today." Twilight greeted.

"Oh, hello Twilight, we're trying to deal with a system crash that happened a few minutes ago. We did have messages for you, we are just trying to get it back now." The changeling at the desk said.

"Alright, um... that's strange, after the test, I'll try to help." Twilight said with a smile.

"Thanks Twilight, you should probably head to the test chamber, be safe. See you then." The changeling said with a smile.

"Don't worry, I will."Twilight said as she waved towards the desk worker.

Twilight walked down the hallway to get her HEV Suit on so she could get ready. She also wanted to see what every other creature was doing today so she walked down a separate hallway.

As Twilight walked down she looked into the science lab to her left and saw something she wasn't expecting. A stallion with a suit and tie, with a brief case talking to a scientist. He turned his head, smirked, and adjusted his tie, and turned back. The scientist noticed her and closed the blinds.

Twilight decided immediately to turn around and gallope to the locker room. 'Why is he here? How is he here? I saw him leaving in a tram above me.' Twilight panicked internally before stoping at the hallway she needed to go down. 'Ok, do the breathing techniques that Cadence taught you.' She took a deep breath and holding it and her hoof to her chest. As she breathed out she put her hoof out. 'Ok, just forget about it and just continue on with my day.'Twilight thought.

Twilight started walking down the hallway when she heard Tempest call her name. "Hey Twilight, I thought you would be half way to the test chamber by now." Twilight turned towards her and Tempest was shocked to see her extremely pale. "What happened Twi?" Tempest asked worried.

"Umm... w-w-well, I saw something th-that has been following me since this earlier. I just d-dont want to talk about it right now. Are you headed to the break room?" Twilight stammered out.

"Yes I am, but if it is something like that, I could head with you to at least the elevator." Tempest suggested.

"Yeah, that would be nice." Twilight said with a tearful smile.

As the two walked towards the break room and locker room they went to the break room to say hello to their co-workers. As they walked in they saw a griffin sitting at the table and a pony looking at the bulletin board.

"Oh look, it's the one and only princess egg-head." The griffin snarked with a smile.

"Oh look, it's the queen of snark up and at it again." Twilight snarked back. "But I guess that title goes to Rainbow Dash anyways."

"Jeez Twi, I never thought you'd do that." Tempest teased.

"Yeah, what is up with you today Twi?" The griffin asked.

Twilight blushed at that, "Well today, I've been missing my friends back home today. More so than usual. Especially since I've had done things my friends do."

"Well Twi, you should do it more often." Tempest said.

Twilight turned towards the microwave in the room and asked, "Hey, is that Magnuson's lunch?"

"That is. Why? Wait, are you thinking what I think you are going to do?" The griffin asked with a wide grin. "That is BRILLIANT. I won't tell any creature." As the griffin and Tempest watched as Twilight did a thing Rainbow would do. Activate the microwave wave.

A few seconds later the casserole, I'll just say it.... blew up. Every creature laughed at what happened. Tempest walked to the snack machine grabbed something to eat. Both her and Twilight said their farewells and left to the locker room.

"Ah, hello Twilight, Tempest, I hate how we have to wear these ridiculous ties. Ah but I won't bother you with that. Go ahead and get into your suit for the test now. Good luck in the chamber." A stallion named Dr. Coomer said with a happy go lucky attitude.

"Oh, don't worry, I will. Have a great day. Tempest I'll go get into the suit now. I be back in a few minutes." Twilight responded.

Twilight walked over to the left into the HEV gear room. She went over to the console in the center and pressed the middle main button. It opened up the chamber with her HEV Suit. She went down the stairs to the main area and walked up to the Suit and started putting it on.

Once Twilight was done putting it on, she heard a a mechanical female voice ring out. This is the Mark IV Hazardous Environment Suit. Medical systems active. Temperature system engaged. Power at 0%. All systems online.

'I do have some power cells in my locker. I'll grab them to make sure I'm safe.' Twilight thought as she walked out of that area.

"Ah, Twilight, you need anything else before we go?" Tempest asked.

"Yes I do. It will only take a second." Twilight said as she walked to her locker. She picked up the cells and walked away. "Alright, I'm ready."

Tempest nodded and walked out and back down the hallway with Twilight. As they walked, they talked about just daily things they've done. But as quickly as they talked, they got to the elevator and had to say farewells, for now anyways.

As the elevator went down, Twilight thought about her friends again. She continued to think about them as she approached the servo room for the test chamber.

Once there, she got brought out of her thoughts by seeing two of her friends from Ponyville, but not who you are expecting. It was Doctor Whooves and Lyra Heartstrings.

"Hey Twilight, how are you today?" Lyra asked.

"Hey Doc, Lyra. I'm great, how are you?"Twilight said a little too happily.

They didn't say anything about it and Dr. Whooves said, "Well, honestly, I don't think we're ready for the test..." and as he was talking, the computer systems blew up behind them. They rushed over to the area.

"Honestly, I think we can do it today. You go on to the chamber Twi. We'll get this." Lyra said with a grunt as she started fixing the computer.

"Ok, I um.. guess. I'll see you after the test." Twilight said with a little worry from Dr. Whooves comment, but put that thought aside.

Twilight continued on into the next shorter elevator ride. She walked down the corridor to the chamber airlock. As Twilight walked down to the door the guard dragon there opened the door to the airlock and closed behind her.

"Ah good Twilight, you're here. Well before we let you in, we are going to give a slight warning. This sample we got from our seller gave us a VERY, VERY, pure sample. The purest sample we've gotten. In fact, it's the largest one." One of the scientists in the room said.

"Right, so this sample is the most unstable. But if we follow proper procedures, we will be fine. There is a .01% chance for a resonance cascade to happen, but since that chance is so low, we don't need to worry. Any questions?" The second scientist asked.

"Nope, I'm good. Yeah that's nothing to worry about to much with that chance. I'm ready." Twilight said with determination. The two scientists nodded and used the retinal scanner and opened the door.

As she walked in the test chamber, the intercom came on with a scientist speaking. "Twilight, today you are going to do our normal procedure for this. But we can't stress this enough, you must be careful with this sample. Now let's continue."

The first step is to wait for the system to get to 80% and hold it there until we are ready. While we wait, go to the control panel on the upper balcony. Be ready to start the rotators when we're ready up here."

Twilight nodded and trotted up to the ladder and climbed up to the upper balcony. And trotted over to the button to be ready.

The scientist on the intercom spoke, "Ok, we are ready to start the rotators. Go a head and press the button, we don't know how long we can hold it for. Then head towards the loading area to wait for the sample. And now one more thing. Do not, I repeat, DO NOT use magic near the sample when it arrives. The sample could be VERY volatile if you use magic."

Twilight pressed the button and went back down the ladder. Then got to the area where the material would arrive.

The scientist said, "Alright, now the material is coming up. When putting it in, make sure you do it very carefully. Maybe almost as slow as molasses drips off a spoon. We are ready Twilight. Do it when you are."

Twilight steeled herself, breathed in and out. Then she slowly pushed the device holding the material.

Then as the material hit the beam of light, everything that could possibly have gone wrong... happened. The scientist yelled, "TWILIGHT, GET OUT OF THERE NOW!!! IT BECAME UNSTABLE!!! WE CAN'T SHUT IT DOWN!!!! HURRY GET OUT NO
...."

As the scientist was talking, something happened to Twilight. She got transported to a different place. It had weird creatures and plant life... IN SPACE.

She was suddenly brought back to the test chamber. The place was falling apart. But as quickly as she got back she was back in the other place. But she was in a cave this time.

Weird creatures that were almost human like walked over. They have a hinge type legs. Three arms and four haunting red eyes. They were speaking a completely different language. They got close, looking Twilight over thoroughly. Before they got the chance to do anything else. Twilight was brought out of that place.

Once she teleported, something hit her head and she blacked out.
