Falling Into the Unknown

[Document 1]

To: Queen Chrysalis

From: The Shadow (Notation: The Shadow is the commonly used name for the leader of the bandits)

Subject: Your Problem

It has come to my attention that your requests for this ‘Human’ are beginning to come more and more frequently. I know I often promise to deliver, and never ask questions, but I am beginning to get concerned. Why do you need this creature? You have told me that he is from another world, and that what he knows can spell your victory, but you have told me little of your eventual plans for causing the ‘chaos’ that you intend to with him.

I will do my part, don’t you worry: The price that you paid for this was too high not to resist. I only wonder when he will stop killing my agents. Two days ago, another attempt to foalnap him failed, and I lost four of my prime experts in teleportation, as well as many lower-ranking guards. Please tell me what you would have me do. Maybe your controlled subject could create some sort of disturbance with his faction?

From: P.B.

Subject: Delivery

Shadow, your weapons have been delivered, as promised. I don’t care how you get the Human, so long as I have him. She has told me that I must do it, so I shall. However, your failures are beginning to excite Auntie Lulu and Auntie Celly. Work faster.

His Royal Highness P.B.

Subject: The Solution

Do not worry. I shall give you means of taking him. In the meantime, continue your efforts. I have had my controlled subject send you more equipment, and you should receive, at some point in the next few days, geographic coordinates to a small sub-Hive, where I shall give you several of my Changelings to work with. Use them wisely.

I have also given a second set to my controlled controller in Canterlot. Should you need another, the controlled controller will be ‘pressed’ by me to give you them. We have her under wraps, so you do not need to worry about that.

From: Security

Subject: Encryption

Shadow, you really need to get better encryption. Some of your guards have been reading your letters, you know. It’s ready to figure out. I don’t care what you think. Change it now, before something bad happens.

From: Queen Chrysalis

Subject: Controlled Controller

The controlled controller who controls the controlled subject is beginning to resist us, even if she knows that she must not to keep certain beings alive. Nevertheless, we shall gain her back.

On another note, you need to shut down the Thaumic nod. Somepony might find it out from your ‘teleportation experts’, and use it against you. We don’t want a massive magical bomb appearing on your doorstep, do we?

You’re much too useful to die.
