The Adventures of Mr. Cake: Red Velvet Hoofprints

Well if it isn't the royal guard's new recruits trying to gather information on this old, old story. Oh, this is so boring, and such a pain for me.

I'm sorry, allow me to introduce myself. You can refer to me as Dr. D. And no, I'm not your friend Agent D either.

Now, where were we? Oh yes. This old story about your "Agent C" as you call him.

'sigh', this story really is drab, really grey in my opinion (no offense of course, "Agent D") and all I wanted was to stir a little trouble, being the mischievous instigator that I am. Of course, it was all innocent really, just no one seems to appreciate my sense of humor. Except for, of course, my ever so loyal Miss Screwball.

But that is all besides the point.

Why don't we play a game (Oh, I'm sure you haven't heard that one anywhere else. hm hm hm.)

Anyway, I just thought it would be fun if this... oh what do you call them... 'document', if you will, would be a little different. Besides, wouldn't you want to hear that your oh so loyal Agent D has been lying to you the whole time?

Hoho, why so cynical? I thought having just a little discernment was a value to you as much as it is to... well... most everyone, really. I only believed you'd want to hear about the way that you have been deceived. Besides, it's only natural that the secret agents of the Equestrian Royal Guard would have had Agent D lie to you on some occasions, isn't it? Think about it - they do have to twist some truths, don't they?

If you're coming around, and you're listening to what I'm telling you, then keep reading, because here's something Agent D won't tell you.

I want you to ask yourself something. Did your friend Agent D ever tell you why the Equestrian Royal Guard was actually sending you this information? Why in the world would such an organized organization send you this information? Good questions, fellow readers, because I, Dr. D, am here to answer them.

Picture it this way, if you will. The Royal Guard is on a mission. A dangerous mission. They come to realize that the threat of this danger far exceeds their capacity to control. The answer? A decoy.

Yes, a decoy. Throw some information into the system, and make the enemy go hunting for it. Make the enemy follow false leads. Disorganize the enemy, then defeat the enemy.

Fairly simple, and very commonly used, really. And justifiable for them to do, of course, except for one small problem. You are the decoy. While the Royal Guard is doing its job in protecting Equestria, you have been used as bait to keep the enemy away.

To be honest, I hate being used - and I would assume you hate being used yourself, don't you?

However, if you're still loyal to the Royal Guard, and your good friend Agent D, that is fine. But please do take the time to heed my words.

Regards,

Dr. "Chaos" D.

P.S.: You might be thinking this is the first and last time you'll ever hear from me. However, I do have ways of returning, even though I am a little 'stuck' right now, to say the least. You might say that the spirit of discord lives forever.

Anyway, I will be sure to add a little spice to some of your documents in the future. I might give my perspective on the situation, or I might tweak Agent D's writing style slightly from time to time. I'm sure it will be hilarious! I'm looking forward to making all of this a little more interesting.
