((You are Jackie))
>Okay, so it has been a few weeks since the huge Ai pone gathering
>Things are rolling, software production is underway, everyone is working together as a team
>Things couldn’t be more perfect
>You were just laying there sprawled out on the bed, frizzy tail dangling off, mane covering face
>You check your clock
>1:30pm
>You don’t even need to sleep, but for some reason it felt so good
>Which reminds you, Anon was supposed to start developing a mark IV capacitor system for you
>Even though you don’t have any wings or internal neodymiums to power, you still could use the added luxury
>Who knows, maybe you could become useful for jumping cars… multiple cars at once
>You hop off of the bed and look down at the city from your window, pressing your nose against it
“I wish I had wings…”
>You trot downstairs to find anon fiddling with a small piece of computer board or chip of some sort
>“Morning, Darling.”
“Morning… hey uhm… do you think sometime soon we could fix me up some wings?”
>He stared at you, looking a little concerned
>“Well… you see, replicating a part as complex as wing is insanely difficult… I don’t think we even have the resources to do that… a-and we would have to reprogram you, and extract the flight APIs from the other Pegasus AI ponies, and th-”
“Screw it.”
>“Hey look I’m sorry, I would if I could, as it is, look at what I have for you.”
>He held up the chip he was fiddling with
“Oh, that’s my mark IV?”
>“Yep, want to install this now? Later?”
>You mull it over
“Let me have my programmer fuel first.”
>You walk over to the espresso machine and make a four-ounce of caramel Peruvian
>You gulp it back and hop up onto the island table in the middle of the room, give Anon a little smooch and lay down in front of him
“This one is going to be difficult isn’t it?”
>“It’s your entire energy grid Jackie.”
>You sigh and let Anon get to work with it
>“I take it you don’t want to be running while we do this?”
>You chuckle
“No, leave me running this time, I need to see what exactly this will look like.”
>“Alright, no freaking out on me though.”
>He pressed a button and the ceiling above you opened up to reveal a few connector cables and some mechanical arms
>He proceeded to clip cables on multiple ports on your hooves and stuffed one in your mouth
>You give him a lewd look and flick your tail
>He rolls his eyes and looks away
>“Not in the mood Jackie, also not in the mood to be cleaning up if anything happens.”
>Ai ponies have multiple areas of high-speed connectivity all over their body
>Because they are structured the same way as regular ponies, the best places for receiving data and controls are where you would guess
>The most sensitive areas…
>You flop over on your side and watch as a light illuminates where the old capacitor chip is located, directly beside your right flank
>You see anon clicking things on the computer left of the desk and you lose feeling of that entire half of your body
“W-wa…”
>“Calm down, just shutting down things that are directly connected to the chip. Would it help if I announced what I was doing?”
“Yeah sure.”
>“Switching to alternate power source.”
>You watch in your syslog and overview as it displays your capacitor turning off and your body running through the facility power
>“Starting chip replacement.”
>A large mechanical arm comes down from the ceiling and rests against your side, then starts to move in a circular motion, using a rapid laser to get into your exoskeleton.
“Trippy.”
>The arm pops the piece off and makes a firm grip on the now exposed mark III chip, then pulls it out with ease
>That part actually felt tingly and odd, probably just really close to the biological part of you
>You let out a small giggle
>The arm discards the old chip off to the side of the table and grabs the new one
>It places it in the exposed slot and begins to mend your side back together
“Hmm, fascinating.”
>The mechanical arm retracts into the ceiling and you try to get up forgetting that half of your body isn’t active
>Anon laughs and turns reroutes your power to the new chip
“Whoa holy crap.”
>The feeling of the new chip was kind of like that exhilarating feeling of a rollercoaster without the inertia
>You see your gauge display a healthy 250 megajoules, a massive upgrade from your tiny 50 megajoules previously
>You wiggle your rump about and hop off of the table
>“So I got a phone call last night after you dozed off. I have a surprise for you.”
“O-oh?”
