Both figures walked down the hallway, their combat boots touching softly with the deck floor beneath them. The male, a tall, big build guy with a few freckles on cheeks and a smile that showed courage. His hair was cut short and had a sandy color to it, and his eyes were an apple green.

The female was slightly shorter than him, her hair pulled back into a pony tail. Her purple eyes looked at the other up and down, examining him. His form seemed familiar, but at the same time strange. A sudden memory began to tug at the back of her mind, the word Mac popped in her head for some reason. It just felt right. "Hey, Mac."

The guy looked over at the other in confusion. "Mah name ain't Mac. It's Johnathan. But yeah need somethin'?"

"Oh, sorry. You just remind me of someone I think I knew. His name was Big Mac."

Johnathan smiled. "It's alright. What's yer name?"

She thought for a moment, more memories fighting for dominance and her attention. One name seemed to try and break free screaming 'hey, I'm your name!' at her. "Uh, Twilight?"

"Was that a question or an answer?"

"I uh, an answer. Sorry I'm just really out of it." Twilight quickly replied.

Jonathan waved a dismissing hand. "Don't worry 'bout it, we all have those days." The two walked in silence for a few more minutes until they reached a door. "Here we are. You and your squad have some fun." With that Jonathan left.

Twilight waited until she could no longer hear the sound of his boots before she entered. The two inch iron door slid open with a small 'hiss' and inside were six others. Five of them female and one male. "Ah, nice of you to join us Twilight. Now that we're all here, lets begin." The male figure said. He looked to be in his fifty's, wrinkles covering his face, and he also wore a different uniform from the rest. On it were numerous small rectangular pieces of metal with different colors on them.

"In thirty minutes we will be deploying you to scout the planet Equis, to determine whether or not it is suitable for colonization. On another note, you will be taking in equipment and two experimental AI's. These are called sister AI or sibling AI. Everyone I'd like you to meet Cel and Lu." The man explained, and in an instant two holopads lit up revealing separate AIs.

On the right a tall women in a white dress and a golden tiara atop her head. She had long hair that had a few greens, golds, and blues in them that matched perfectly. She seemed to have a glow around her, like she was the higher power. The name Celestia popped into Twilight's head at the sight of the artificial intelligence.

However, the one on the left was slightly smaller and she wore the same dress except it was a mixture of blacks and blues with sparkles on it. She had light blue eyes and wore a pitch black tiara on her head. Her hair was a deep night sky blue that matched with her dress, and in it a small pin with a crested moon kept her hair in place. The name Luna popped into Twilight's mind and it seemed to fit.

"Now," the man continued, "These two AI are designed to watch and care for each other, much like we do everyday. Not only that, but they should also be here for a long time. ONI says that sibling AI can live up to twenty years before plunging into rampancy due to the 'emotional connections' they share."

"A-Are they nice?" One of the other asked, her voice barely audible.

The one, Cel, smiled at her. "I don't see why we wouldn't be. Lu and I are the nicest AI you will find, aside from Cortana."

Twilight noticed the one that acted shy was slightly skinny and her hair was a sun bright yellow with a strand of pink going through it. She also wore the same gray body armor as the rest of them. "That's... good." she squeaked in reply.

Ah just can't believe this happened...

Twilight looked around the room for the voice. Again it sounded familiar but who?

I know it's hard, Applejack, but remember she's a strong mare. She'll find a way back.

Applejack? Where is she? Celestia? Twilight continued to scan the room, the man talking again but she didn't bother to listen.

But what about her birthday? You know Pinkie has been planin' it for months now. Ah hate to see her so down.

We can only wait, my little pony. Why don't we go get some dinner?

"Hey!" Twilight snapped out of her trance and looked at the person in front of her. She was tall and had an athletic build, her eyes were a deep blue. Her hair was il kept and seemed to be all over the place. "I asked you a question, egghead!"

It took twilight a second to formulate a response for them. "I'm sorry, could you repeat it?"

"I said are you ready to get going? We need to get down to the pelican bay and we're waiting on you!" The woman complained, her tone more childish than she would've thought.

"I'm sorry, Rainbow, I didn't rea..."

"Did you just call me Rainbow?" Twilight shrunk back slightly and nodded. "Where on earth did you get that name?" The female yelled throwing her arms in the air.

Twilight opened her mouth to say something but no sound came out. Now all five of them were watching this unknown chew her out. "I-I don't know. I'm just... confused. Something about all of this doesn't feel right."

"You feeling alright?" The woman asked, slightly backing up. Twilight shook her head and the woman let out a sigh. "Alright, you stay here and Erica will take care of you."

"No! I want Celestia to stay. Please." Twilight blurted but got the deer in the headlights look after she realized what she said. "I mean... Cel..."

The woman stared at Twilight in confusion but backed up more to give her space. "Cel, you don't mind if you stay, do you?"

"I believe it may be best."
