Like every machine...It requires skilled ponies to keep it under control, or this machine serves no purpose.

I aspire to be the operator of this powerful machine, and make sure its productivity will remain optimal and benefits to all ponykind!”

>the meeting ends, and the national anthem ( a repetitive synth tone that sounds a bit like some Nine Inch Nails intro)
-
>Lorelei salutes her people, a horde of thousands screaming fanatics with a wall of cops barring them, and secret services escorting Lorelei to her helicopter.
-
>she's followed by her spin doctors and political partners
-
>SD:"Another excellent speech, miss president. It was..."
-
>Minister of communication/propaganda:"touching, blessing, and so motivated. I'm still under the psychological side effects, er, emotion. You're so powerful"

>Later, she's landing on the capital of Industria
-
>A bunch of ponies dressed in blacks are waiting for her in front of a large car. They're saluting her.
-
>They're heading towards a building, driving in empty streets, with concrete everywhere, and even sculptures like representing perfectly aligned trees; like coming out of a retro-ish 3D game.
-
-
>they're entering some highly secured building.
-
>They're welcomed by a strange looking pony, with an uncanny look, saluting her.
-
>"Welcome, President. Please follow me."

>The escort of secret services who followed Lorelei so far are standing in front of a door.

>a few other ponies seating around it

-
>as she walks in, the weirdo behind her is locking the door.
-
>her face's only illuminated by a weak, green-ish lighting. it's almost impossible to see anything but the shadow of other ponies in there.
-
>01:"Please come in and sit in, Miss Kernav."
-
>Lorelei, unlike the bigmouth mare she was facing to a half million ponies remains silent and obeying
-
>Lorelei:"Good evening, gentlemen. I suppose we have to review our objectives, right?"
-
>The voice of an old male horse can be heard next to her
-
>02:"Among other points, yes. We have noticed your efforts, but nothing's really changing so far."
-
>Lorelei:"What can I do? I'm just running this country the best I can, I can't control everything on my own."
-
>03:"That's the problem, Lorelei, you're losing control, you're just good to scream at the masses. We have decided to speed up things a little for you."
-
>Lorelei:"what do you mean?"
-
>02:"He meant, we'll bring you the opportunity to take everything under control, this is your last chance."
-
>05:"Know you know we do not appreciate the idea of being betrayed."
-
>04:"We have a contract. You rule the ponies..."

>01:"...we do the rest."
-
>Lorelei:"You... Well, I think I'm doing a good job in matter of diplomatic relationships, my department"
-
>03:"this isn't enough!"
-
>02:"For how long we will have to wait again? Our partners have already projected their estimations on Equestria for this year."
-
>05:"In order to speed things up, our services have planned an attack that should get you unlimited budgets and a good reason for the nations of the union to enter in a war against Equestria"
-
>03:"A plan you will certainly approve"
-
>Lorelei's looking terrified, but try to look tough and cold. "Do tell. What's the plan?"
-
>05:"This week, a terror attack will take place. Secret services, security and law enforcement will find links that leads straight to agents of Equestria."
-
>02:"They are our enemies."
-
>03:"And you will exactly know what to do."
-
>she's taking a deep breath
-
>02:"Are you ready to cooperate?"
-
>04:"A serie of magic attacks will occur on our main administrative facilities, all risks have been calculated but the psychimpact should be optimal."
-
>06:"This day the world will be ours."
-
>01:"The question is, are you with us... Or against us?"
-
>she remains silent for a few seconds. In the background, a few documents are levitating, there's a couple of unicorns in this strange assembly.
-
>That's a group of ponies who have been the decision takers, those who decide who ends up being the ruler of Industria and the whole Economical Corporate Partnership, the trade organization, and military alliance between several nations across the world. This is the top of the pyramid, and the most secret organization ever, those who truly are in command. and she knows she cannot do anything.
-
>One of the ponies is looking at her
-
>some are examining documents, depicting things related to Equestria's hierarchy, with Twilight and various other facts.
-
>03:"Miss Kernav? Don't you think some things must be done by necessity rather than by envy?"
-
>they're looking at her, like dinosaurs ready to eat a kitten in a cage
-
>Lorelei:"You do your thing, I do mine. You give me the excuse, I'll give you Equestria."
-
>big silence again.
-
>05 is smiling, his teeth are visible in the semi darkness. "That's good, Miss Kernav. Very good"
-
>Lorelei:"I just..."
-
>02:"Feeling worried? You shouldn't. How do you think you get that position?"
-
>03:"We're just taking care of everything, you do the little rest."

-
>She's walking slowly in the dark corridor
