Entry One

Day One

I managed to get an empty notebook back to my room. I'm going to start writing in this, and document some of my life. I should start at the beginning. My name is Worker #1934. I work at the Rainbow Creation Plant, just outside of Cloudsdale. We do create rainbows, but I think I may have the worst job of all. I work in the "Extraction" part of the facility, and what we do is we remove the color from ponies. We basically skin them alive. We don't have enough sedative for us to use it here, so they go through it feeling every bit. What's left after we have skinned them is incinerated. We have to listen to the cries and screams of the innocent as we skin them alive. Sometimes when we dispose of the ponies, they are still alive. Have you ever heard a pony being burnt alive? I do every day. It haunts me in my sleep, and I just try to block the screams out. We are issued earplugs, but most of us just leave them out.

I only took this job because I needed the bits. My family was seriously in debt, and the factory was the only place that was hiring. We're not allowed to leave, and we are given a place to live here. They feed us and it's basically a normal village, except filled with really messed up people. We call it "Factory Town" but it really doesn't have a name.

Back to my job, I rotate jobs every so often, between working in extraction to working to processing. Processing is just what it sounds like, we take a count of the ponies we have "acquired" and line them up for different colors. I should probably go over the entire process. Ponies come in to Processing where they are dealt with, and then shipped off to extraction, where we take their skin. The bodies are then incinerated. The skin is then placed on a conveyor, which goes to the washing, which removes all the blood and dirt from the skin. From there, it goes to collection, where the color is extracted from the skin. The skins are then incinerated with the bodies. The liquid color goes into the seperator, where it is converted into the colors of the rainbow. The colors are then pumped to the distribution, which is in a separate facility. The "normal" weather ponies work there, where they take the packs of rainbow and distribute it in the sky when needed. Our facility is heavily guarded, only certain ponies who work in collection are allowed outside. I have to go now, it's call time, meaning I have to go do my horrible job. I'll try to write another entry tomorrow.
