28 Pranks Later: Twilight's Transmissions

Transmission 1: Blood Samples

My name is Princess Twilight Sparkle. I was once the Princess of Friendship, but my title has been diminished to nothing but a fragment of dust by a strange virus that has taken every pony in Ponyville. I've watched and observed the progress of the virus. The first sign of exposure to the virus, is a small cough, which quickly progresses to a much more severe cough, and continues on rapid basis. The most obvious sign, is blood leaking out of the eye sockets, along with severe nausea, and a severe headache. The last of the signs of the virus, is blood being extracted from the coughs.

I'm still alive, and continue to fight against the effects of the virus. I've noticed that the virus's effects on me are much more slower-paced, due to my immortality. I've decided to take this opportunity to possibly find this virus's weakness, and possibly a cure. To find a cure though, I needed somepony to volunteer as a test subject. Rainbow Dash, the first to be exposed to the virus, decided to take the risk, providing that it could lead to a cure. This is what I'm hoping for, along with every other pony.

The cause of the virus originated from what I am calling "the Joke Cookie Epidemic." A strange odor that came from the rainbow filling of the joke cookies was first exposed, immediately crippling test subject: Rainbow Dash. After realizing it was already too late, I returned to my castle, that had been converted into a lab for the sake of Equestria, only to find Rainbow Dash in severe condition. My assistant Spike had been exposed to the virus as well, but strangely, it had not affected Spike at a rapid pace.

I decided to start with simple blood tests, provided with Ponyville Hospital's equipment. I took blood samples from Rainbow Dash and Spike, and placed it in a small glass container, along with some of the filling from the cookies. The result was this.

RAINBOW DASH

Within a time period of one minute, the scent from the filling had already started to kill a large number of blood cells. This confirmed just how aggressive this virus is, and is classified under a CODE RED epidemic. FATAL. However, the virus only extinguished a certain amount of blood cells, before it just stopped. The blood sample was fatally affected by the epidemic, but still alive just enough to keep an organism living, but not by much.

Aggressive, yet it keeps the victim alive. Who or what ever created this virus knew what they were doing, at least to mortal ponies. Spike's results were different, VERY different.

SPIKE

Within a time period of one minute, the scent from the filling had not managed to do much to patient's blood sample. Only a minor amount of blood cells were affected by the epidemic. By the time this virus could even affect patient, the blood sample would've already produced a number of cells strong enough to hold off the virus, and fight it off. This is strange, because patient is affected, so I'm going to try one more thing to test my theory on why patient is even affected.

TEST TWO RESULTS

Just as I had suspected. I added more filling to the containment chamber with the blood sample, and immediately the virus grew more aggressive, but still managed to kill only a minor amount of cells. The result is how much exposure you have to the virus. Exposure is the key word here. Minor exposure makes the disease fightable if you are not a pony, but dragons have a higher tolerance against this virus, but only if exposed mildly. Patient might still be able to survive, if he remains within a containment of fresh oxygen. I already have a possible cure that might help to "control" the epidemic, but before anything can be done, Ponyville would have to be quarantined, and to do that, we need Canterlot's help. Sending a letter to Celestia. Hope we can get this controlled.
