Fallout Equestria: Recordings of an Equestrian Monster

Time is twenty minutes past eight in the morning.

I didn’t realise it would be that easy to win Trueblood around even if he is an idiot at times. I have gotten him to reinstate Subject Two-Five-Nine as well as take part in whatever operation was originally planned. The discussion I had envisaged to get this to happen involved a lot of arguing and probably a few punches, but surprisingly he acquiesced quite quickly. He apologised for yesterday’s reaction and then started talking about how he and the project as a whole was under considerable pressure from all kinds of ponies who were eagerly waiting for a success, these ponies he said were the ones funding it. I nodded in agreement simply because it was the most sensible thing to do but that was when he truly said something strange: ‘a success that even he won’t see hitting him’.

When he agreed on the subject’s release I was told that I would only have contact with him twice before he leaves for his deployment. When he is woken from stasis and when he leaves the facility, Trueblood is bringing in the ponies who Two-Five-Nine will be working with on the operation in an attempt to allow for better communication between everypony. With that it seems I have got some things to prepare before he is woken up so I best get to it.

Oh and I’ve got to come up with a designation for him, I’ve thought about it since Lightning balked at me for forge- I mean not giving him one.

Time is twelve in the afternoon exact.

Alright, wake him up and leave us straight after.

Yes Doctor.

*sounds of tubes popping and hissing of gas*

*high-pitched squeaks and growls*

Welcome back to the waking world Subject Two-Five-Nine, it’s good to see you again.

*hissing*

I understand that you are feeling disoriented right now but over the course of the next half-hour I’ll explain everything. Right, where to start…

*sound of hooves and claws on the floor*

So then Subject Two-Five-Nine; let me be the first to congratulate you on becoming a successful candidate in Project: Chimera, as a result of this you are being deployed in the field for combat operations. I know you won’t let us down, especially after all the work we’ve been through. So, after we’ve finished speaking I’ll take you to a group of OIA Operatives who will be training you for the mission you’ll accompany them on.

*growling*

*sigh*

Your knock-off Pipbuck should come in use on whatever operation you’re going on, most operatives get a device akin to them anyway. Because of this I’ve began to work on a few things to bring it up to par with the OIA ones, don’t think I didn’t realise yours still worked. Here, I’ve got your first ‘gift’ please hold out your hoof.

*small click*

Go ahead and play it then.

*hiss*

LONG TIME COMING. I Director Goldenblood of the Office of Interministry Affairs give the bearer of this message, one Operative Lernae, Tier-Two OIA access for the sole purpose of requisitioning items and armaments for use as he sees fit.

*surprised yelp*

I can understand your surprise Lernae, so if you don’t like the name blame me. I thought of it. The items you can acquire are quite formidable and I’m sure you’ll be impressed even with your background, the recording is mostly because I know you won’t be able to get things on your own, what with your….uniqueness.

*growling*

Just play the first few words to any armourer on a base and they’ll see to it that you get any of the more 'special' items.

Time is twenty minutes past two in the afternoon.

Courtesy of some stallions who owe me a few favours down in the tech department I’ve got a couple of small things being made to bring his Ripbuck up to speed, get it? A play on rip-off and Pipbuck? Hehe

Time is nine minutes past eleven in the morning.

For the last twenty-four hours I have been compiling reports and studying the next batch of subjects, I would’ve continued on if not for call off Trueblood telling me that my final scheduled meeting with Two-Five-*cough* Lernae, is at half eleven. I was told it would take him at least a week until he was ready to leave but I assume they didn’t take into account he’s a hydra-pony. Nevertheless this has presented me with a problem, the techies have only just today finished the first piece so regrettably that’s all I can give him. Originally it was going to be a set of four pieces to complete  the upgrade but I’ll see what I can do to get the other three to him when I can, I’ve got to get some lunch before I meet with him. I’ll pop off now.

Time is thirty two minutes past eleven in the morning.

Hello again Lernae.

Good morning su-

Huh? Why is my voice coming out of your mouth?

It’s not? Your Ripbuck?

Good morning

Ah, I see! That’s quite an intelligent thing to do, but I must ask how you acquired my voice?

Good morning subject Two-Five-Nine, how are you this morning?

Hmm…you recorded some of what I've said to you previously?

*hissing*

That is extraordinary, have you got anymore recordings you use or jus-

How are you t-

Goodbye

That’s good to hear

I’m fine thank you.

-ou a bottle of Sparkle-Cola RAD.

Yeah, yeah I understand D-

GET DOWN A-

Continue with that Lernae, if you get enough phrases I bet you could string them together to form coherent sentences.

*hissing*

Anyway, what I’m here for really is to give you this little device.

*confused growl*

It’s for your Ripbuck, if it isn’t a total knock-off then it should add some valuable pieces of data to it. Hold out your foreleg please.

*small click*

There you go. You should find that your device has the Majeste protocol lifted, oh and since the maps option has become available again it now has a lot more locations added than what you started with, from what I could tell when I looked at it after just prior to you ‘enrolling’ here you had all the standard locations in Equestria marked yes?

*hiss*

Well, now I’ve added ALL the locations. Apart from those above your rank of course, also, when you’re out there you can now manually update new locations. For example, if you entered the Zebra lands or found hidden camps you can add them using the dial to put the name in on a marker.

*excited growling*

That’s good to hear

Yes, yes it is. I was going to give you more but you completed your training quicker than I had anticipated, I’ll try and get them to you either when you come back or are posted somewhere should you be needed out in the field.

Doctor Bow? Operative Lernae is required to leave in the next five minutes, please send him to Bay Four.

Understood!

Now Operative Lernae, I know this probably seems like everything is moving along to quickly but I assure you this all for Equestria. You ‘volunteered’ for this so I expect you to give it your all, however, I promise I’ll give you a bottle of Sparkle-Cola RAD if you just follow your orders and succeed. If you wish I can see about getting a sort of leave back to Hoofington if you wish.
