Fallout Equestria: Recordings of an Equestrian Monster

Time is seventeen minutes past eleven in the morning.

Ughh, I really need a coffee after nights like those. Anyway onto the topic at hoof, the plan for today is to test whether or not Subject Two-five-nine has the low-light vision a normal hydra has. We think there is a high chance of him having this ability because one of the noticeable changes to the subject after the procedure was the change of his eyes; they now perfectly mirror those of hydra so we want to ensure that this isn’t just an aesthetic change.

Time is fifteen minutes past twelve in the afternoon.

I’m about to go and inform the subject of today’s schedule, with any luck the promise of a reward will win him over so I don’t have to have him participate forcefully.

*click*THUNK*

Good morning Two-five-nine how are you this fine mid-afternoon?

*deep growl*

Now, now remember what compliance will get you. I’ll give you a bottle of Sparkle Cola RAD if you participate in today’s testing, maybe even a pack of six to sweeten the deal.

*light growling ended by a hiss*

Excellent! Then we shall start in but a moment, I want you to know that we shall not be performing a test like before since today we are interested in those eyes of yours. The sight I mean, we are interested in seeing if you can perform in low-light conditions.

*hissing*

Indeed, now if you will please follow me.

Time is forty minutes past twelve in the afternoon.

Alright two-five-nine, we have arranged this room to be an assault course. Before we take off the visual impairment spell I am going to give you three objectives I wish for you to complete. First objective is to complete the course obviously; second objective is to collect the batons throughout the course and finally please write down the words on the boards scattered around the course.

*a crackled hiss*

Beginning in three, two, one, GO!

*click of a button*

Alright the room has been plunged into total darkness, I give him five to ten minutes before he finishes if he has low-light vision.

Time is three minutes past one in the afternoon.

We have repeated the test three times now and the subject has failed to complete all three objectives three times in a row. Through our observation of his progress during the test he seems to lose the ability to calculate distances, much like those with a lazy eye or who are blind in one eye. He can still operate in the low-light environment but from if what we’re seeing is correct I think it’s safe to say one of his eyes lack the ability. While he has failed this test it isn’t really a problem. Wars aren’t always waged in darkness anyway.

I’m going to take him back to his cell personally, both to get his reward for his compliance as well as to inform him of the final test for today.

Time is thirty-minutes past one in the afternoon.

While I might’ve told the subject that we would not be performing any tests such as the regeneration one earlier I have decided to take back what I have said. Thinking about what we observed yesterday I had a spark of inspiration, what if two-five-nine’s ability wasn’t just confined to the interior of his body, what if he could regrow limbs?

It’ll take me an hour or so to sort out the necessary arrangements but I believe we can have this over and done with by five/six o’clock. We’ll also ensure that the subject is kept sedated; I think it’s in our best interests if he remains oblivious to what we’re going to do to him later on.

Time is three in the afternoon.

We’re currently in my personal lab and are prepping our tools and other various equipment for the experiment. To begin with we shall take off a few layers skin on his tail, should this prove fruitful then we will continue to take off more and more, getting deeper and deeper ‘chunks’ until we believe that he could fully regrow a body-part.

I will explain what goes on in further logs, a side note I have to say is that the subject has been given a higher dosage of sedative than we would normally use out of caution.

Time is forty six minutes past three in the afternoon.

We’re taking a ten minute break at the moment to discuss how to progress. So far his ability has held up to expectation, we have taken small quantities of flesh from his tail and even a few from his legs just to be sure and it has all been repaired within the thirty-seconds. However, something very interesting which was seen to have occurred when organs were damaged is that a flexible mucus-like film grew over the damaged areas within five to ten seconds and then the regeneration of tissue began. We have taken some samples of this substance for future analysis.

Doctor, the overall decision on how to continue is up to you of course but we all agree that we should try amputating sections to further back up the theory on how well the subject can regenerate. I would suggest we take further tests to see the full extent but without another hybrid to compare with I don’t think that would be an appropriate course of action because of the circumstances.

I concur, we shall proceed with the amputation as you suggested but we will start somewhere not entirely crucial…I’m thinking the tip of his tail?

Of course Doctor, we shall begin immediately if that’s alright with you?

By all means begin. I’ll be observing and advising on this part of the experiment so let’s get on with it.

*THUMP/SQUELCH*

Thirty centimetres of the tail has been amputated.

Excellent, wait until it regrows.

Yes Doctor.

Time is ten minutes past four in the afternoon.

From what we have observed there has been a marked increase in the time it takes to regenerate every time a larger amount of the tail has been removed. The rate seems to be an extra seven seconds for every five centimetres taken on top of the seven seconds it took for the first five centimetres.

Forty-nine seconds Doctor!

Alright, continue.

Time is five minutes past five in the afternoon.

The test has been completed. The aides wanted to conduct the test on his legs and even take out huge portions of the subjects body, I refused. I don’t want to risk the subject’s body going into shock from being cut up repeatedly regardless of what his ability seems to allow. If two-five-nine continues the way he is then we might actually see our first success since the project actually began and I’ll be damned if the subject died because of a saw-happy researcher!

Anyway, the results: Subject two-five-nine does have the ability to fully regenerate working limbs. As observed when we experimented on the tail, which is one metre long, if we took the whole tail off it would take one hundred and forty seconds to fully regrow. We tested if it actually was a working limb by using small electrical shocks to stimulate movement; needless to say that was a success.

I would also hypothesise that if other limbs were somehow…’misplaced’…they would regrow perfectly within five minutes in a worst-case scenario.

The subject is currently resting within his chamber and we will be conducting a final round of tests over the next two days before determining whether or not he is to be branded a success. Should he be a success then Trueblood will most likely send him off to the MOA as an operative in the field.

I think I deserve another long sleep tonight after I finish these other reports.
