.
I had just stepped into my room, and the door had slid shut behind me.
So far, so good; my intended vacation is progressing just as smoothly, as one could be hoping for.
“Okay, I am officially here; at my new Dorm at the Star Fleet Academy..” I quietly exclaim.
Imagine that; I had actually managed to beam myself and my closest friends over to the Academy, all by myself.
Since I did not wear anything I actually had to take off; I continue to the next room. The door to my living room eagerly slides up as I am approaching; only to slide shut behind me, just as I had cleared the threshold. Oh, but what a shock. Who would believe that?
Naeh, calm down; it’s the long standing standard, here at the Star Fleet Academy.
This is what I had signed up for, what I had signed us all up for in the first place.
I can’t say, that I am disappointed. Well, why should I be? It is exactly what the site had promised, in the first place.
Beyond the living room; I have the shower and the Mare’s room. Just as expected
I even have a replicator. Oh, well; that had been a standard in Star Fleet and the Academy, for so long one tends to forget it had not always been the case. Maybe the Resolution had been improved and updated a few times; just as the list of recipes and the meals had been improved upon throughout the years.
Once inside my living room, I walk over to the sofa; plopping down, before I open the compartment containing the Sparkle Cola and the Rad Cola, picking the first Sparkle Cola. With the bottle in hand, I open the cap and take a sip; enjoying the cool beverage, before I place the bottle on the table before me.
Now I lift up my stylus, going over all the sketches I had on file. After a moment of browsing the sketches; I start drawing up a new sketch, soon filling the screen with a large hangar bay. Of course, it is complying with the regulations of what Star Fleet Hangar Bays would be like.
As I had finished the sketch, I render the image. While the rendering is progressing, I take the time to enjoy the rest of my bottle of Sparkle Cola.
“Ping!!” is heard, as the rendering is complete; the structure appears on the floor by the wall to the right of the door.
Next, I am sketching up a set of Shuttles and Runabouts, mostly for the fun of it; but also, in order to populate the Hangar Bay with meaningful compliments.
Once the sketches had been saved, I press “Render”; while I pick up a bottle of Rad Cola, enjoying its content.
“Ping!” is heard, as the render is complete.
I put the bottle down on the table, watching all the diminutive ships models standing on the table before me.
“Neat!” I exclaim, as I am examining the fine details I had just rendered.
Now I am sketching up Twilight Sparkle, Rarity, Starlight Glimmer and Sunset Shimmer, before I am pressing “Render” and take a short break.
“Ping!” is heard, as the render is complete.
“Greetings, Cadets!” I exclaim.
“Greetings!” they Chorus, as one.
I pick up the sketch of the head set, pressing “Render”.
“Ping!” is heard, as the render is complete.
Each of my new Friends pick up their respective headset, putting it on.
“Mare the Shuttles!” I instruct them.
“Aye, Ma’am!” they respond, trotting off to the shuttles waiting for them.
“Now, if you could pilot these to the Hangar bay!” I instruct them.
Once inside, they find their respective Cadet’s uniform, slipping into it; before they get to exploring the interior of their respective shuttle, following the instructions to fly to the Hangar Bay.
“Imagine that..” Sunset opines; I’m a Cadet in Star Fleet!” she concludes.
“Seems as if everyone is Equal here..” Starlight observes; “we’re all Cadets, now!” she concludes.
.Incidentally, the file for a Pinkie Pie is accessed; and the rendering is activated for a hoof-ful (handful) of instances, or the total of seven.
“Ping!” is heard, as the rendering completed.
Each Pinkie instance trot over to one individual Galop-about.
In this manner; Celestia, Luna, Cadence and Shining Armour found themselves in the Command Center of the Hanger Bay.
I put some effort into sketching up the Command and general Quarters.
“Ping!” is heard, as the new addition had been rendered.
Since I had intended this to stand on the floor in my Quarters, the design is adjusted to this purpose.
When I am done, and the final render had been completed; I have one ship left; the Captain’s Yacht.
Well, why not? I had built up the entire base, so I found it natural to claim this Honour.
On the other rubbery hoof; I still leave Celestia and Luna on top of things. It just feels right to me.
.
“Okay, this was fun!!” I exclaim.
“On second thought, I am lacking something; something that would both fit within my Hanger Bay, and still pack just a bit more punch!” I point out.
“Let me see, let me look..” I ponder, as I am browsing the general designs available; “Yes, this should fit within the given confines..” I mumble, as I stumble across the Defiant Class ship.
Nimble and powerful, as these little ships are; they would be perfect in my attack fleet, as defence of my newly built facility. Even if the facility is nothing more than the Hanger Bay with quarters for the Pilots. At least, they would complete the compliment of the base, for now. I could always build more ships for them, later. Couldn’t I?
I choose to render one Rainbow Dash, one Twilight Sparkle and two competent Guards Ponies for compliment for each of these ships.
.
Once crewed, the ships take off, slowly flying towards my Hanger Bay.
“Oh, but wait; I forgot something, they need to wear proper Star Fleet uniforms!” I consider.
With that, I opt to render them their personal set of uniforms, materializing in their designated Quarters. Well, where else?
“One final detail, to touch up my collection!” I ponder; “I need a few ships in orbit, to complete this!” I conclude.
After a few minutes of browsing, I come across the perfect ship to complete this. A mate black Enterprise 1701 E. What else? I couldn’t find anything better.
I render a fleet of three ships.
“Ping!” is heard, as the rendering is complete.
“A ship needs a crew!” I state, forgetting the Com Badge is currently active.
“Let’s see..” I mumble; Captain Jean-Luk Picard, First officer Will Ryker, Science officer Spock..” I mumble; “Tactical officer Warf should be nice; then, Chief Engineer Geordi Laforge!” I conclude.
“Hmm, did I miss anyone?” I ponder.
This is when the door to my quarters slides up and a bewildered Officer steps into the room.
Once inside, the officer just stands there, baffled. His mouth agape.
“Ping!” is heard, as the render is complete, whereupon the crew for the latest fleet had been installed.
“What seems to be the problem?” I inquire.
Of course; this is when my friends: May and Neko enter the room from behind the stunned officer.
