Thank you! I'm actually stealing ideas from a variety of works. Bonus XP to the pony who guesses them all (or most).
Well, this particular one seems familiar somehow. I know I won't be able to guess it though, lol. I mean the whole robotic race at war with a monstrous organic race and stuff.
I don't know why but I'm sensing a bit of Geth vs Quarians with a bit of reaper thrown in for some reason.
I didn't think of it until you mentioned it, but yeah, there seems to be a bit of Mass Effect in there. I can't say I took anything from Falling Skies because I never actually watched it...but I would like to.
I'm detecting a bit of the first Resident Evil movie. A mysterious contagion that turns everypony into monsters, an elite team that gets sent in to investigate, and an AI that wants to destroy the contagion at any cost.
Ugh... The Resident Evil movies... Don't get me wrong, they're fun and action-packed just...don't call them Resident Evil. Also, I based 02F4's (that's spelled "00FFFF", by the way) personality on Portal's turrets.
I have a plan to get everyone back to the castle, but it'll take a while to type it all out. Please bear with me...
