Hey, remember this stallion. He helped Blue Blood get a female version of himself and you probably know how that went if you’ve been here since the beginning. It didn’t go so well but Atom was still a scientist that loved to do many tests. However, he was pushing science into questionable or unethical areas. Like we said before he was like a real Doctor Frankenpony. He was trying to find a key that the Alicorns wouldn’t share with anypony. He wanted the key to immortality without using magic. Even though he was a Unicorn he hardly used his magic.

Still, he needed test subjects. The test subjects he got were dead animals. He would usually find them in forests and kill them himself. He had a lot of deadly stuff to kill them anyways. Right now, he’s working with a Timberwolf head. He was using something called Reanimation. Hey Twilight what does Reanimation mean?

“Reanimation is the idea to sustain life through artificial means. Using an early heart-lung machine called the autojector you can feed oxygenated blood back into organs and keep the organs functioning. This was an interesting thing. It’s like finding the truth between life and death. These types of experiments ultimately led to the success of open heart surgery.”

Thanks, Twilight. Atom was still working with the Timberwolves head and was looking at its eye. Working with an autojector and other things he added to it the head of the Timberwolf was alive.

“Yes, your eye is still focused. I can make life. Now I bet I can make anything live forever!!!”

Now Atom of coursed loved Reanimation but he wanted to go further. However, the forest was not so good one day and not many animals were around, and some were not dead. Then he saw a Rattle Snake. He took out one of his potions. Threw it at the Rattle Snake and the Rattle Snake was dead. He was going to make this snake become his first test subject to live forever. He was only able to work with severed animal body parts. This time he would make a full body work. The Rattle Snake was on his test table and he had many machines connected to the Snake. The Rattle Snake rose from the dead hissing.

“It’s Alive! It’s Alive!! IT’S ALI-

*Hiss*

“AGH!!!!”

However, Atom just got a bite from the snake deep into his neck injecting venom into his body. The mad scientist should have used a less deadly animal. Fluttershy how did this venom kill him.

“Oh…My…Well, the venom of the Rattle Snake is a cytotoxic histotoxic blood poisoning. It blows stuff up in the body. It bit him in the neck. Injecting venom in him. His throat swelled up, his organs were destroyed, and he…Died. However, the Rattle Snake had a good reason. He felt threatened with a pony he didn’t know that up close to him, so he did the only thing he could do and that was. Bite the scientist.”

Thanks, Fluttershy. Well, Atom was a questionable scientist with a crazy idea. He was looking for immortality. Instead, all he found…Was a new way to die.
