(Story extract)

I groaned in pain, my horn throbbing. Fuck… what happened last night? I reached up to rub it, but even my hoof gently brushing my mane against it's metal exterior sent bursts of intense pain into my skull. Celestia fuck me, what the hell is happening? Letting off another groan, I managed to push myself up onto my haunches, eyes wrenched shut for the moment. The ground was cold and metallic, and I could feel it humming beneath me. My head swam as I lifted myself up, opening my eyes and peering about the metallic… what… My vision was filled by endless miles of what looked like huge metal plates and wires in a dark cavern. The massive expanse was dimly lit by the soft glow of talismans beneath sections of the floor, and the occasional glow of what looked like white energy speeding down the hose-like wires. Oh my, um, a-are you alright? I spun around upon hearing the soft voice, seeing the same yellow pegasus mare that… she was the same one from the Statuette? What the hell…

Ugh yeah, I-I guess. I tried to stand up, but my spinning head and aching horn forced me back onto my stomach. The pegasus mare rushed over to me — she seemed so familiar, like, in pictures or something — with a look of concern on her face, bending down and helping me back up. Oooh, that hurt… Muttering another soft groan of pain, I looked around the cavern, trying to get my bearings. It looked far too massive to be physically possible at all, let alone someplace Id recognize, like a Stable or bunker. Wires hung haphazardly from the ceiling, a few twisting together and connecting into the lightly vibrating ground. Where where are we?

U-uhm in your mind, for lack of a better explanation. Twilight was always better with this kind of stuff… In… in my what? I raised an eyebrow at her quizzically, the mare starting to slowly walk forward, helping me along with her. We walked alongside each other as our hooves clanked against the floor, the yellow mare brushing some of her flowing pink mane away from her eyes. Your augmentations suffered a lot of damage from being banged and shaken around so much. One of the, um, inhibitor talismans broke. I gave a confused look, wincing in pain a moment later. Your… your brain is trying to heal itself from the scars left by the implants, but its growing over them. My gut clenched at this, my pupils shrinking down — what… does she mean… I tried to say something, but I only stammered. Unless somepony fixes this soon Her voice trailed off, and she looked down towards the ground. I was frozen in place, my voice having died in my throat.
