A scared, blindfolded and bound pegasus colt is being dragged through an unknown location by two strong ponies, or what he assumes are ponies anyway. They stop momentarily, the colt's ears perking at the sound of sliding metal. The ponies continue to drag the colt soon after. He feels the sensation of being lifted, until his back is pressed into a cold, metal surface. He flails his legs as best he can, easily overpowered as they're strapped to the metal. His captors remove the blindfold, the moderately lit room and its inhabitants becoming visible. The room itself is a fairly unassuming white color, lit by some kind of odd light fixtures embedded in the ceiling. On further examination, there appears to be strange mechanical apparatus all around the table. The colt doesn't get much time to think as the table moves to a near vertical position. When it does, the colt can see a large, glass like window with various creatures in labcoats looking back. The two in the center stare at the colt in the eyes. The colt looks elsewhere, thoroughly spooked. He sees the two burly stallions in black suits wearing odd looking glasses, most likely the ones responsible for strapping him to the table in the first place. They step back from the colt, mechanical arms with a single syringe on each end make themselves apparent as they moves toward the colt's body. The strange blue liquid within causing further alarm in the struggling colt.

"Now administering numbing agents." A femenine robotic voice announces through a speaker somewhere in the room, unseen by the colt.

The needles plunge into the colt, the sudden application causing him to wail in pain. The needles deposit the odd liquid into his body, removing once they're empty. Soon enough, the pain starts to dull, fading within the span of a minute. This worries the colt further, as he can't feel anything anymore.

"Now adding mechanical augments." The feminine robotic voice drones once more.

Multiple mechanical arms emerge from the colt's peripheral vision, some with blades, others grasping metal pieces in their claws. The blades cut into him, the lack of pain as some portions of his flesh are removed incredibly weird and unnerving to him. Soon enough, the odd components are placed onto his body. Additional needles inject a silvery liquid between his flesh and the metal.

"Now administering sedative." The feminine robotic voice says.

A final syringe descends upon the colt, injecting the sedative. In moments, his vision becomes blurry, colors smearing as he fades into unconsciousness. The two stallions unfasten the colt, bringing him out and escorting his unconscious body back to his room/cell. The two unicorn stallions standing in the upper, windowed off room nod to eachother. The one on the left is dark red in coat color, with a black and white mane and tail, dark purple eyes, and a dark purple blazing omega symbol for his mark. The other is more frail, with a pale green coat, lighter gray mane and tail color, and a flask with bubbles inside for his mark.

"Another successful operation, Omega." The pale green stallion says to the dark red one.

"For now, we still need to observe his condition. My components should bond well to the flesh, but it's still uncertain." Omega replies to the pale green stallion.

"Which foal shall we enhance next, sir?" Flask asks, gesturing to a computer screen showing viable candidates for the next experiment.

"The darker yellow earth pony colt with the brown mane and tail." Omega says, tapping the section on the screen showing the camera feed of the subject's room.

"You heard the boss, get that one for the next module!" A griffon worker barks through the intercom.

On command, the two guards stationed outside of his cell enter and grab the earth pony colt to repeat the process...
