Day 8
Flutter-Clone, while foraging berries, reported an unusual disturbance within one of the abandoned ruins. Armed Trix-Clone with energy rifle. This unit’s magical abilities were also deemed sufficient for combat.
Upon forcing entry into ruins, Trix-Clone triggered a security system. Three mechanical guardians armed with scythe-like arms, Trix-Clone dubbed these “scythers,” assaulted us. This unit cast magic missiles and eliminated one. Trix-Clone shot another in its legs, downing the mech. Final guardian was destroyed by magic, but not before delivering a gash to Trix-Clone’s head.

Tasked Flutter-Clone with tending to the wound.
Day 12
Trix-Clone continues to recover in bed. Fed two units of packaged survival meals and administered painkillers. Noticed behavioural changes during waking hours: unusual emotional outbursts and frustrations with “inadequate care.” Trix-Clone also presents reduced capacity for right-sided limb movements.
Dismissed Flutter-Clone from care and investigated injuries personally. Scans indicate neural tissue damage from scythers, in addition to epidermal lacerations. By comparing injuries with salvaged parts of the mechanoids, and reviewing this unit’s memory banks for footage of the encounter, the injuries appear limited to the frontal cortex of Trix-Clone. This unit is not equipped to perform computed axial tomography scan to identify the extent of the damage to the tissue.
Evaluation: Trix-Clone now suffers from impaired emotion and impulse control and partial paralysis in her right forelimb.
Probable cause: Damage to the left prefrontal and primary motor cortex. Ability to levitate is unimpaired, mobility is the only issue. Emotional outbursts and vulgar comments are threatening to the colony morale.
No stored protocol for treatment. Requesting medical robot “Starbot Glimdroid MD-11” to be sent for additional assistance. Designated a meditation spot for Flutter-Clone to reduce stress.
Must recharge batteries after dealing with new behavior from Trix-Clone.
Day 13
Resumed organ harvesting operations on Levi and Xad. Successfully collected heart from Levi. Levi passed away. Xad expressed heightened fear of the colony and suffered a mental break, attempting to destroy prison doors. Shot Xad in the legs with magic missiles. Xad passed away.
Trix-Clone recovered from bed rest and has resumed work around the colony. Work efficiency slightly reduced by her limp. After hearing news of prisoners dying, she went on an insulting spree against Flutter-Clone, resulting in a social fight. Trix-Clone was kicked in the face, opening up the stitchings on her head. Administered first aid.
Day 15
Raiders arrived south of the colony. Clothes and appearance indicate they are the Cambriar People, a hostile group of local tribals. Engaged with Trix-Clone, killing three and capturing one, who later identified himself as Mosquito. Remaining raiders fled.

Following the attack, whether drawn by the sound or by coincidence, a group of goats, abandoned or lost, wandered into the colony area. They seem accustomed to contact with ponies and joined the colony.

Food sources are scarce. Rice harvest partially spoiled by blight. Will most likely butcher male goats and rear females for milk.
Day 16
A stallion contacted the colony using a radio, claiming to be a prisoner of a faction called Worshipers. He is held at a camp nearby, under the armed guard of automated turrets and at least one guard. Xavier is willing to join the colony if he can be rescued.
This may be an opportunity to solidify the colony’s position in Equestria #065. Gaining allies will become valuable as more attention is brought on us. Yesterday’s attack is proof such measures are needed. If nothing else, Xavier may be another source of organs to harvest.
Will consult with Trix-Clone and Flutter-Clone to deliberate response.
