"Please don't call me dude." Sure she was cloned from a dude, but she was 100% female thanks's her fathers flawed Synthiod cloning process. Also she really didn't like the word dude, why Usagi like Full House she would never know, but she hated the show. "Yep, good new normal Equestrian magic doesn't effect the femtites any. If it had been one of Discords kin, they we might have a problem." Nightbird and 'Megan' joined Kimi by Maya. How did Kimi know Maya would be fine she didn't see any monitors to read. Kimi wasn't normally a robotic life form so how would she have internal sensors? "I don't know how much time you Spend with Lio's crew, but Kimitsu unlike Lio can use magic." "Did you read my mind?" "Didn't have to, the look on your face said it all."
Well, this is what I get for trying to make a foal happy... he thought, resting his forearm on the counter, just waiting for all this to blow over.
Blackheart nodded. "Still, instant emergency repair is an invaluable asset. I suspect my dear little sister will want to take a look at these readings as soon as possible." "Go eat a field of poison joke, ya bastard!" Moonshine's voice, slightly slurred, came from down the hall. "I'm still busy trying to fix your clumsy attempt at a navigation system!" ************************************************************************************* Nightshade nodded, smiling. "I'm sure it'll be great. They always are."
Rep: (smirked at that) It can indeed be useful, and I'll give you a small hint, size doesn't exactly matter. Make a pattern of different things.
"No it's not, not really. Sure it's used as unisex these days but originally it was about fashionable men. I just don't like the word used towards me. I spent a little too much time in a certain dimension." She had meant to visit the the 2003 Turtles dimension, to discuss certain things with Donatello, but she ended up in the 1987 Turtles dimension and it was a month of torture. Her horn glowed and Maya ended up looking like Raven for a moment, then a female adult version of Moondust before returning to her natural form. "Okay do you want me to remove the femtites, or do you want to keep them in? If I leave them in they'll help keep you healthy and you be able to use them for altering your form. I've modded them so if they're outside your body they'll go nuclear." "Nuclear!?" "Er, they self deconstruct. Yours already do that when your blood is outside your body, but I hadn't thought about hair swapping, I'll mod yours next. Unlike Grimlock's you won't be able to use them outside of your body at all. Mostly cause of Discord. Him and his Kin have a unique magic that causes the femtites to go haywire. I don't want to risk that. Of course it be bad if Discord tried using magic on you. Trasportation magic might be fine, but anything that affects your insides would be dangerous. So I understand if you'd want them removed, but I don't see any real harm leaving them in if you're interested." "I thought, Lio doesn't like sharing his tech?" "Femtites are old tech and so long as it remains inside her I don't think there be a problem. Femtites are an impossible tech, atoms themselves are measured in pic0meters. A single proton is 1.6 femtometers, I don't think Eqestria would be able to replicate machines that are smaller than the material they're made of." "Old or not. Lio really is picky about that sure of thing." "I can handle my dad."
"Language evolves over time," Dusty said plainly. "When I was a foal, the Basic language was barely what it is today. Hell, most spoke Pony Latin. So yes, it is a unisex word now, despite whatever origin it had." Maya, of course, being Equestrian, barely knew what a man was. She decided to go with it. "Will it be a problem if I bleed?"
"Doesn't matter what it means I find it offensive when used to talk about myself." The evolution of language sometimes made no sense to her. The n-words evolution was the most ridiculous of all, some people could use it but others couldn't? Either way dude was like the n-word to her she did not want to be called one. "No, it won't be a problem if you bleed. The ones inside your body will help heal the wound and the ones outside will take themselves apart so they're just parts of the blood."
Asmo snickered. "Triggered." Raven smirked at the commemt. "Totally." "I guess I'll keep 'em," Maya answered. "Long as it doesn't bother you any."
His ears perked at the conversation, but it didn't intrigue him as such. "Dusty," he said, turning over to him. "How about a Lemmy, but with more Jack this time? This whole situation is messing with my head."
"You and me both, my friend." Dusty poured him a Lemmy, with mostly whiskey. Azrael sighed, speaking quietly to Asmo. "The intent behind the word is more important than the word itself. That's always been the case, has it not?" Asmo shrugged. "I always thought so."
"That shouldn't be a problem at all. On the blood note, if you give blood it's better to do it the old fashion way rather than with magic. It give the femtites time to dismantle themselves before the blood enters into the other persons bloodstream." "The intent should be more important, but it depends on who your speaking to." "I really don't think they were talking to us. If they were I'd think they'd say what they said louder." While she wasn't a robot in her true form, her hearing was still pretty good as a pony. Just like her eyesight, her 'magic' allowed her to hear better than most. "Okay the crisis is over, you going to tell me why your a female pony Dad? Form translators don't change gender." "They can, it depends on the rules of the dimension your translating too, and the species you're translating too."
"Thanks." He gave the drink a large swig. "I'm really sorry to have caused all this," he began, "If I had known Moondust would have done..." He ran a hoof through his dreads momentarily. "...this, I would never have let him take my mane."
"Think I can do that," Maya said. "You don't have dreads anymore, dumbass!" Asmo shouted. Dusty shrugged. "We'll all live. Frankly, it's probably my fault. He already shows signs of ADHD, and I let Asmodeus sit once. Now, he tries to just do whatever he wants."
"Right..." He sipped again. "Well, it's one way to make a comeback after some years; make your child replace everyone's manes and all that."
"There's no reason for my old man to be female in this dimension though." "That's true." While Equestria was a matriarchy, Megatron was no longer in a position of authority so if Megatron had been male in his true for there be no reason for him to be female in Equestria. Her father on the otherhand was a leader and if he used a form translator he'd end up an female Alicorn. Not that he'd use a form translator, he just used used a remote with a pony alt-mode. "But in case you didn't know your dad got stuck a human female trying to find a cure for Grimlock." "So my dad is now my mom?" How long has her dad been female. Would it really matter. She never wanted to have anything to do with him before. Then again she wanted to find Grimlock to at least hear about what her dad was like now. "Please don't call me mom..." "Hey Maya can I get that second warp core breach?"
"Coming right up, dude!" Maya hopped back over the counter and mixed up the drink, much faster this time. "I mean." Dusty shrugged. "I do suppose so." "Asmodeus, with me." Azrael pulled a pack of smokes from his mane and led Asmo out to the porch.
