CHAPTER 1: PROJECT LIGHTBRINGER
My name is Bravery, think that's a weird name? It's not my fault my mother saw heroism in my Albino eyes and felt it was a fitting name, she and my father are dead now. The chances of anyone finding this journal, let alone reading it, are slim, but I want to see what happens if I write my story down. Speaking of my story, I used to be a doctor in Stable 12 with a fitting logo for my cutie mark. I had worked on a long project called Project Lightbringer, which was based on some schematics my father had, and I wanted to use it for eliminating the door leading outside. Now to start the story.
I woke up one morning to my alarm clock. This was a special alarm clock that went ‘Time to go to work’ every time it went off. I got up out of bed and put the clock in snooze mode by whispering “Shuddup” into it, like usual. I got into my Stable Lab Uniform, and went into my lab to unlock the entrance door. I then made and drank a mug of coffee, then I went into my private restroom to get to work on Project Lightbringer with my weed.
An hour into my work that day, the buzzer went off to indicate a customer. I walked into the clinic area, and low and behold; the Overmare.
"Waddaya need?"
I got excited inside, that I could finally kill the Overmare. If she were to have found out about Project Lightbringer, she would never allow it!
"I have radiation poisoning, think you can purify me?"
Radiation poisoning? The Stable has full protection from outside radiation (RADS)!
"I’m not going to ask how you got irradiated..."
I looked at the Geiger-counter on her Pip-buck, which showed a RADS level of 420 (of all the numbers).
"...but can't you just use what little Radaway we have in this Stable?"
"I don't know what side effects there are to Radaway and I don't want to risk it,"
"Radaway tends to give..."
I stopped myself, if she knew what little issues she had to worry about, I would lose my opportunity to operate on her to end her life.
"[Med 25/25] The amount of Radaway needed to cure the amount of radiation you have is more than enough to remove your bodily fluids and.. most likely kill you of dehydration. "
She seemed very disturbed, with about the face you'd expect.
"[Success] I would rather you operate on me..."
I turned my head to the water purifier on my hoof-me-down Pip-buck, and back to her.
"I will have you in anesthetics, cut you open, and put every drop of water from your body into my little purifier here to put back in. "
"I... don't know about the anesthetics part."
Overmare Honey Bee didn't trust me as much as the rest of the Stable, she was suspicious of all the times an inhabitant who happened to have an appointment with me went missing and/or dead and I was the one to explain anything about it.
"A minute ago, you wanted me to cure you of Radiation Poisoning. Did you not?"
"You... got me there, ...Bravery."
That's a first, she just referred to me by name.
* * *
While I had her in anesthetics, I got the scalpels ready and cut ‘er open. Her bodily water was all dirty and disgusting, just like I had expected. I proceeded to use levitation to completely remove her ribcage, I then tore her lungs out.
Lungs!? There’s your problem! You don’t *need these fuckin’ things!*
I got a scalpel ready.
DIE, motherfucker!
I then cut her heart open; her pulse stopped. I put on a terrifying grin about how I had just killed the Overmare, when I went to my private restroom to continue work on Project Lightbringer I took the Overmare’s corpse in there with me so that nopony would know and so that I would have some food in case I got hungry.
* * *
I had finally finished Project Lightbringer.
About fuckin’ time I got this finished!
Project Lightbringer was pretty much a police baton, but pressing the button casted a three-foot, cylindrical, green beam of condensed light that could cut through anything!
* * *
I donned my lab coat, a saddlebag completely full of just scalpels on one side with the Overmare's remains in the other, an extra saddlebag for anything I might find, thick pieces of kevlar padded all over me, a few belts, twenty holsters for any guns that I may have found out there, the Lightbringer on one of my belts, and a knife on a leather hoofband, all as I walked to the Stable 12 door. There were two earth pony guards who I already had hostility towards, so that must’ve triggered a red bar on there E.F.S, because they tried to attack me! I levitated my knife up to stab-and-a-half them both. Heheheh! I then felt an urge lick the blood of my victims like normal, but this was a knife instead of a scalpel, so nothing stopped me from doing it.
"Ya’ got blood on my knife, mate."
I whispered before licking the blood off my knife.
LICK the blood of your victims!
I thought to myself as licked the blood off of my knife. I then used the Lightbringer to slowly cut a really large hole in the Stable door; I walked through.
It was a dark corridor full of pony skeletons, seems like they tried to get into the Stable and failed. I walked through the darkness until it was pitch black. I eventually bumped into a door; I walked through the door and there was a doorway to the outside, an old mattress with a skeleton resting on it, a loaded 10mm pistol, a mannequin with leather armor on it, and a really big pile of bottle caps. I grabbed everything that wasn’t the mattress, the skeleton, or one of the mannequins, and set off for… a dried up pool of thick, green gas with 100% opacity. I fell in and my Geiger-counter read “+420”, So this is where the Overmare got irradiated. I ended up with a drastically increasing RAD level to the point of “Deadly RAD. Poisoning”. I thought I was dead for sure! But then the craziest thing happened: not only did the Nauseated feeling disappear, but I started HEALING!
WTF!?!?
I decided not to question it, and to make my way out of the pool. And I made it! I witnessed the door to the outside and set out!
Footnote: LEVEL UP
New Perk: GHOULIFICATION
Old age won't defeat you now! And neither will RADS, because your Ghoul form will allow Radiation to heal you instead of harm you!
