Chromatophage

I started today with every intention of going through that paper work and learning all I could about this Spectra. I did eventually get to it, but it took me hours of fidgeting my hooves and pacing through the terminal. For some reason, whenever I sat at my table to start looking at the papers, the only thing that crossed my mind was the jar of Spectra and how all I wanted to do was drink some and go for a fly. Eventually I compromised and took just half a cup. It was so delicious.

But once I got that down, my ability to focus kicked in and I read through a lot of the files. Rainbow Dash was the Executive Director, but was terminated due to a vote of No Confidence. I’m sure it was some sort of plot. Not only was she the only pegasus to ever achieve the Sonic Rainboom, but she rose up the ranks of Cloudsdale Weather Corporation in just 3 years. You don’t become a legend of achievement like Rainbow Dash if you mess up your most important role in life.

There were also two other files that weren’t personnel files like I initially thought. These were Pony of Interest files for “failures”, whatever that means. One was a mare that escaped, so she was followed. Nothing too important there. The other was a filly. Her picture was all mangled and all her personal details were redacted. She is only referred to as 2011-RF01. She played a major role in two major disasters for the factory. Thankfully she finally died after the second one.

What was interesting about this file was that it had a bunch of hoof writing scribbled all over it talking about her being hated and useless. But then a small note at the end asking why she failed. I can tell it was somepony sad and empathetic. Most likely it was Rainbow Dash. The file does say that Rainbow Dash trained her a lot in order to pass her tests.

So yeah that’s the basic breakdown of all the personnel files that were in the pile. The sun was going down and I had to go get ready for some dinner, so I filed them into the filing cabinet properly. And left. I’ll try to get through the rest of the loose papers tomorrow.
