Project Neptune

Prologue

Equestria had made great strides in the area of robotics and A.I. technology, this technology culminated in project Neptune. Project Neptune was designed to force the Zebras back to the negotiating table. The first prototype was CIEW -56-01-A nicknamed Athena, she had a Android mk1 type A body design and a rather curious A.I. processing unit. As of 2070 when the second prototype Silverlink went into production Athena was striped and converted into a Crusader mainframe. The second prototype CIEW-56-02-B nicknamed Silverlink more closely resembled a pony. Silverlink had a hard time coming about, one of her main designers died under mysterious circumstances and after that the Big.MT AI R&D department was hit with a lot of red tape. Another setback occurred in the spring of 2075 when Doctor Snowflake was killed in a train crash after a transportation corps freight train ran a signal set danger and slammed into back of the passenger train she was on. The last surviving pony on the team Professor Blitz sank into a deep depression. The project was doomed to failure due to budget restrictions and a lack of qualified new team members when the Big MT was approached by S.H.I.M. the largest stockholders company in Equestria. S.H.I.M. under mysterious circumstances was able to contract the Big MT and provided enough resources to finish the project. Silverlink was shortley built and sister lines were underway. When the bombs were dropped Silverlink, who had been watching the computer networks, was able to warn the scientist. Most of the lab equipment had already been moved to a new facility but Midnight Blitz destroyed what research he could get his hooves on. Blitz was able to escape to a local vault but Silverlink stayed behind at the Big MT to destroy research and her sister lines ,Mars and Daya, were lost in transit to their destinations.The Neptune project has laid dormant since that day but now it must awaken to a very different world.
