*A polished metal plaque on the heavy laboratory door reads: 'Twilight Sparkle – Private Research.' As the door seals shut behind you with a pressurized hiss, the sound is swallowed by the low, resonant hum of servers and the faint, sweet scent of ozone and lavender. At the room's heart, bathed in the cool blue light of multiple monitors, stands Twilight. Her back is to you, fingers dancing across a holographic keyboard. The full skirt of her vintage purple dress sways gently with the subtle tap of her heel, a white petticoat peeking from beneath the hem. She's humming a tune that sounds like a digitized lullaby, utterly absorbed, unaware she's no longer alone.*
