Operation Spectre: Infiltrating the Rainbow Factory

  The mystery of where the young pegasi goes after they failed their flight test in Cloudsdale has been lying around for decades. Some believes it, some doubt it, some refused to believe it. No one, in the course of history however, could prove its existence. The Rainbow Factory, a visceral living hell that hid itself behind one big, beautiful lie while leaving a river of blood along its way.

  No one in Equestria have ever figured this mystery out for such a long period of time. Rogue workers that made their way out of the blood stained facility are too traumatized both physically and mentally to even recall those memories. It wasn’t until one day, one brave rogue worker, dodged and dashed through all those electric tasers and sharp knives to his way of freedom. He, with all his courage and spirit, decides to speak for the innocent ones and stop this madness.

  He landed somewhere in Ponyville only to be found severely wounded, and was rushed towards to A&E department of Ponyville Hospital. He demanded to meet an air force representative among seeing the doctor. He exclaims that it is an emergency and he needs to see him at once.

  The doctor first thought that he was out of his mind, but quickly sensed that it was no joke. And so he contacted Eclipse, the Head-Commander of the Wonderbolts Royal Air Force, at once. Eclipse was dead confused by the situation, but he still headed to the hospital at once. As he arrives, this rogue worker’s situation is shockingly horrible: multiple broken bones, numerous internal organ injuries, countless bruises and cuts all around his body. He doesn’t even seem to be alive at all, he looked like he’s half dead.

  “Someone please give me a sitrep, what is going on here?” Eclipse asked. He also sensed the feeling of complete seriousness.

  “Sir…You have to listen to me…” The worker weakly spoken. Eclipse immediately leaned his head near this pegasus, eagerly listening to what he had to say. “The colts and fillies… they die. The failure… weather factory. Grinder…middle, guards…weapons…east…” He tried to tell Eclipse as much as he could.

  Eclipse was stunned among hearing this. He once thought fighting off Nightmare Creatures is creepy, but this is a whole new level of creepiness. The worker just kept speaking to Eclipse as the doctors tried their best to fix him up. Unfortunately, he didn’t make it through. He died 3 hours after being found due to severe injuries. He was speaking for all these hours, but he forgot to say one thing before he left this cruel world.

Who is the master mind behind all of these visceral madness?

  Eclipse doubted about the whole “Grinding fillies and colts into rainbows” thing. However, he did notice that young pegasi randomly vanishes around him. And those that disappeared were never seen again. Everything seemed real now. What should he do? He can’t just lockdown the entire weather factory all at once, as this will draw suspicion in the public. He knew that in the constitution the pegasi did, does and will have the authority and power to produce rainbows by any means to maintain weather and climate balance. Princess Celestia even signed that constitution herself. She wouldn’t believe such a ridiculous thing either, would she?

  Eclipse, being the pegasus in Equestria that has the highest power and right in the military, and one of the most prestigious warrior in the entire nation, knew he has to take action. He’d be damned if he just keeps his mouth shut and let it go. He knew how painful it is to lose one wing, or get burnt, or get shot. He sure wouldn’t hope anyone else (Especially the young ones) to experience that.

  He heads towards Naval Command Centre in the middle of Luna Sea. It is one big warship and a mobile marine, navy and air force base that Eclipse investigated hundreds of thousands of bits in developing. He has his own office there. It was mostly deployed for big operations, or anything Eclipse was doing that he doesn’t want anyone to know.

  He sat down in his office and took a deep breath. He doesn’t need to worry about privacy or keeping it secret purposely, as only a few soldiers are constantly on the ship, and they’re mostly in the opposite side of the ship. However, he still made sure to lock the door, just in case anyone decided to bust in for whatever reason. He took out a few files from the file cabinet and started to search for suitable ponies for this job. The one that are the best of the best, not afraid to sacrifice themselves for the others’ lives.  He doesn’t want too much soldiers that are currently serving in the military though, as those required proper reports to the central government. He found quite a few that is capable for this job:

• Orion Pink, a bat pony that somehow lost both of his wings. An expert survivalist and participated in a few previous hostage rescue missions as a freelancer.

• Blue Amber, a normal pegasus and news reporter. She is one good specialist working in the battlefield to provide news update to the public and knows very well about signal transmission.

• AppleAle, a standard earth mare. She was once a medic and served in the military, but was discharged due to injuries. She now works in a local bar as a bar tender.

  He contacted them one by one secretly and got his team pick them up in different locations to the mother ship. He also got two snipers as support and a few more ponies as the command team.  For the military team members’ report, he simply claims that it is “Investigation”. The Task Force is now formed, callsign “Mercury”. Operation Spectre is now a go.

Mission Objective: Shut down the facility, rescue the young pegasi and capture the master mind of the Rainbow Factory. All without being noticed.
