Fallout Equestria: Recordings of an Equestrian Monster

Time is one minute past eight in the morning.

Two-five-nine woke up an hour ago and had to be subdued after breaking out of his restraints after what one of the aides said ‘was an attempt at communication’. Although, I think it can be said he has gained enhanced strength as a result of the process, it took a team of security ponies to restrain him and he threw one of them across the room with his claw-hooves. I’m about to head in there myself and confront him, I’ll be questioning him and if he complies without a problem then we can move onto testing. If not, then I use the trigger word and ‘convince’ him not to cause a problem. Regardless we are beginning testing today.

Time is forty-two minutes past eight in the morning.

It is with regret that he has lost his ability to form coherent speech. This is what I think has caused his ‘outburst’, I couldn’t get through to him after he realised this since his yelling is all but drowning out my voice. Thankfully though, he can still understand Equestrian so we can try and work around it.

When he calms down I’ll go back in there and inform him of the tests he shall be taking today, I believe with what strength he has demonstrated already it should be useful in what I have planned already. I will also take a measure of his literate skills to see if the hybridisation has affected such processes.

Time is half-past nine in the morning.

Okay Two-five-nine, the aim here is to measure your strength. We’ll start off on the equipment and if that goes well we can progress onto something fun.

*hissing*

Good. As we agreed you will be given a reward for your compliance, so remember: Do what I tell you, when I tell you and how I tell you.

*hissing*

Now you’re going to start on a standard setting for your age and original body-type. For every set you complete there will be a thirty-second break, for every two sets completed we’ll bump up the weigh, I trust you know how many reps there are in a set?

*hiss*

Very well, let’s begin.

Time is seven minutes past ten the morning.

It seems that Two-five-nine is beginning to struggle finally. We have had to add the weights from other machines to his own and he is only just struggling to lift the weight of what is equivalent to a fully loaded Equestrian Army supply truck. Bear in mind his physique is of a fit twenty-seven year old stallion in his prime, what he is doing now shouldn’t be possible for a Pony but it can be concluded that he has gained enhanced strength from the process.

Okay Two-five-nine, you can stop now.

*growl*

Your reward shall be arriving soon so rest while you can, your next test begins soon.

Time is thirty minutes past ten in the morning exact.

Okay Two-five-nine what I want to test here is if you can put your enhanced strength to proper use. If you are to be a successful candidate in the Project then you’ll have to be able to take care of yourself in a demanding situation. So, I’m about to put you in such situation, please give it all your all. But be aware of the damage you could inflict. If you pass, I’ll give you a bottle of Sparkle-Cola RAD.

*low growls*

Alright then, Doctor Flare if you will please send in a Beta security team. Threat level yellow.

Understood Doctor.

*Slam of a door opening and a rush of hooves and shouts*

The subject is out of control please detain him gentlecolts.

Time is sixteen minutes past three in the afternoon.

The tests today were a success. It took three six-pony beta security teams, of which only two came away with no broken bones and one two-pony alpha team to stop two-five-nine. It was quite amusing in the beginning due to the subject almost flailing about trying to land punches but as time went on I observed changes overcoming him, his hoof-punches changed to clawing and his kicks became leaps. At one point I saw that he was trying to tear out the throat of one pony. His facial expression was interesting in that it became one of….rage. As the fighting became more ferocious and I saw that he was going out of control I called in the alpha security team which dealt with the situation quite efficiently as expected.

Overall I am satisfied that Subject: Two-five-nine has gained the enhanced strength we hoped for. On the other hand I believe that he may be prone to extreme emotional responses in situations due to the hydra traits he now possesses. An effect such as this was to be expected so everything is still going ahead as planned.

Time is four in the afternoon exact.

I’m going to give two-five-nine his literary test now; it will be comprised of just copying out a few lines, spelling some words I call out as well as him doing some creative writing.

I do hope that he has retained these skills since it usually is a good indicator of whether or not the equine side of him is mostly dominant as well as his mental faculties being able to cope with the changes he is experiencing.

Time is forty-two minutes past four in the afternoon.

He is still literate thankfully, but to be on the safe side as it is still possible for him to lose such functions over time we will keep this test up about twice a week.

In conclusion before I finish off for the day, I shall say that personally everything looks hopeful as they are now and if all goes according to plan then in one month we’ll have our first successful hybrid and I’ve got a feeling we’re going to need something to tip the scales soon.

I caught the news during my lunch break and the 3rd Neighfield Regiment fighting in The Trough was completely wiped out attacking and hold a Zebra trench yesterday. That’s one thousand ponies dead in a single day.
