Vinyl's suit was old and complex. One malfunction and Vinyl will be Dead in Space, but that didn't stop Vinyl from going into space.

"Alright, we got everything ready. Lighting is okay, so are the oxygen levels and etc. Okay, "Colossus", let me in."

In a few minutes, the large door was ready for spaceships to come flooding in. But Vinyl said that when she finished the space station, they'll have to wait one more day to see if "Colossus" is habitable.

After twelve hours of boring double checking, Vinyl was done. She walked over to the power switch, flipped the switch, and watch every room brighten up. She entered her room and put herself in stasis for the next 3 days.

When Vanessa awoke, she found two security officers sleeping on spinning chairs.

"Hey, assholes, wake up."

Both of them fell off the chairs, setting off their guns. "Give me a gun."

"Sure thing Ms. Scratch. Here's my .356 Punchback pistol. It has taser mode and a flashlight to go along with it. Also, why do you have a stasis bed in the security room?"

"For security reasons... What else?"

Vinyl made her way into the Space port. She lightly pushed people out of her way. In one of the facilities, a small insect was evolving into something... It had a shell on it's back, grew eight legs, a proboscis, and a small tail with a sharp tip.It jumped into a vent and began to search for a host.

"Guys, I'm glad you can make it, but you didn't really need to dress all fancy, it's just dinner... Normal dinner."

"But Princess Luna is here. We want to look our best!"

Everyone agreed with Twilight.

"Well... Okay. Here's a security watch. I only give it to mature people, because I don't want children to keep pressing it just because they think it's room service. I heard Diamond Tiara wanting room service on my way to the launch site."

Beeping came from Vinyl's watch. "Whoa, a problem already? Gotta go guys, make yourself comfortable."

Vinyl ran away. The beeping became faster as she approached... Diamond Tiara pressing her father's watch.

"What is it?"

"There's way to many people here, I'm getting cold, and no one has guided me to my room! Also, my room has to complete with a queen-sized bed, fluffy pillows--"

"Whoa, there, I'm here for SECURITY reasons. I'm the superior officer, not the superior butler. And let me tell you something. This is the port, it's space, everyone is getting a room, every room is the same." Vinyl went into the hallway, leaving an angry Diamond Tiara behind.

A worried security officer approached Vinyl.

"Officer Vinyl, we have trouble in Facility 10. One security team has gone offline."

"Gather a lot of security teams, armed with machine guns, and leave a few here. I'll come with you."

Are you serious? The first three minutes or so and we already have a problem?

As soon as security teams were following the DJ to Facility 10, Vinyl took out her Punchback pistol.

They tried to turn on the lights, but it didn't work. They continued to walk. Many of the officers trembled. Hissing came out of the vents, but they continued. Broken glass was everywhere, tables were toppled over, and an air vent was broken.

Everyone knew this was a sign of a struggle. A smell invaded the nostrils of the security officers. Putrid smell that burned their nose hairs.

Soon, they found slime and then a pulsating egg. "Oh man, that's where the smell comes from."

The egg cracked and a medium-sized insect opened it's hellish eyes. One of the officers charged at it, attempting to kill it.

The insect lunged at his face. The officer struggled. The insect didn't want to kill him, only harvest him. After the security officer was tired and couldn't fight anymore, the insect forcefully inserted it's tail inside the man's throat.

The security officers were terrified, too terrified to even go near the insect, even Vinyl.

The insect began to lay eggs inside the officer's stomach, and then it went off into the darkness.

"Is he dead?" Officer Lyra asked.

"Heartstrings, he's dead. D.E.A.D."

"Vinyl, promise me that you'll get rid of these things. I gave Bon-Bon my recommendation card."

"Lyra, these are monsters and we don't know how we kill these things. Let's just pray that we can get rid of these things before they become a nuisance."

Everyone began to act like nothing happened and exited the facility.

Vinyl went upstairs to her office and got into her uniform. Knee pads, body armor, boot, a holster, and her purple shades. She felt nervous, she thought that this was the day she was going to die. "You might as well die a virgin than a slut." Vinyl said before she left the room.

She went downstairs and made her way into the dining area. The mane six were invited to eat with Vinyl. Where are the rest you say? Cafeteria. It's not as bad as it seems. It's actually pretty fancy. There's rules, like: Please don't shout, if you need anything snap your fingers once and service-bots will come and such.

Vinyl put her Punchback pistol in her holster, sat down between Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash and the food came rushing in.

"What's it like being Superior Officer?" Rainbow Dash asked with anticipation. "It's like being... Spitfire. You're there for when teammates need you."

THUMP, THUMP!

"If they're injuries or when they need help, you help them."

THUMP, THUMP!

"And you NEVER leave them behind."

Vinyl's heart almost stopped. She didn't follow any of those rules, ON THE FIRST DAY!

"My goodness, it's cold here! Can we turn it up just a bit more?"

"Sorry, Rarity, only Luna can decide that, but she didn't arrive yet."

"Oh boo."

After that, they began to eat while talking.
