The Rainbow Factories New Recruit

"What do you mean?" She asked.

"This is your new job. THATS what i mean."

"What? I dont want a job!"

"Well, the ponies who run this place think you're useful."

"IM NOT!"

I growled "Shut up. Or they'll KILL you."

She shut up, i cleared my voice.

"Now. Lets go down and see my co workers, and what they're doing."

Dinky had been seized by the gaurds, we walked along the platforms.

I showed her how the machine worked.

"In a nutshell, the stabby thing stabs the failure, making the red stuff come out, thats blood, and then drops them into the grinder. The grinder grinds them up, it goes to the sorting chamber, the sorting chamber seperates the blood from the flesh and bones. The blood goes into the coloring chamber, which is filled with some chemical gases, and one of them makes the spectra cells come out, the spectra cells then go into another chamber where they're exposed to another chemical gas which makes them bind into a liquid..."

She was looking at me like i was mad.

"And the flesh and bones either get burnt or distroyed. Or sold."

"Why do you need to stab them at the start? To kill them quickly?"

I laughed

"Dont be stupid! They're alive untill they get painfully grinded up."

She cringes.

"And its because in the coloring chamber, the color only comes out if the blood has actually been out in the air. Everything is airtight. One of the chemicals makes the blood thats been in the air basically... infect the rest of the blood. Making them able to be colored too."

She probably hadn't listened.

When we got to the holding cells, with all the failures inside. It must be pretty busy today, most of the cells were full.

Dinky was staring at the failures. Mortified.

"Why are they locked up?"

"They're failures."

"Will they all die?"

"Well. Yes. They're failures."

Her eye twitches.

"So...all of the living adult pegasi passed?"

"Well, yeah, duh."

I starting walking again, then i heard the sound of a weak punch and turned around in a flash.

Dinky elbowed the gaurd, then grabbed something and levitated it up, and then chucked it into a cell

The thing, just happened to be a key.

"UNLOCK YOURSELVES! BE FREE!"

That was followed by a quick punch to the head from one of the gaurds.

And Dinkys limp body falling to the ground.
