Location: Classified
Time: 1600 hrs
Date: 2xxx, May 5th [Restoration Period]
Interrogator: Shining Armor

Shining Armor: It's recording. Spike, I want to let you know before we start that you are not in trouble of any kind. Everything we've done so far has been for both yours and our protection. We're just trying to get a better understanding of what happened, okay?

Spike: *Silience*

Shining Armor: Spike?

Spike: I...I understand.

Shining Armor: Good, then lets begin. How would you describe Twilight Sparkle after March 3rd?

Spike: She was... distracted. She would hardly spend time on a task and when we left the house, she always seemed anxious to get back home. I noticed her spending more and more time in her lab.

Shining Armor: Did she ever say why?

Spike: For a while, no. She only said she was working on something. I trusted she knew what she was doing so I left her alone about it.

Shining Armor: Did you ever suspect what she was doing down there?

Spike: As time went on yes a little bit. I woke from a nap one day to see her taking food and water down there. She'd been spending so much time down there that I didn't think it was odd that she might want something to eat while she worked.

Shining Armor: Anything else?

Spike: Yeah, she had pulled a bunch of books by her self and claimed that she didn't need help. I saw later that they all dealt with Equestrian wildlife. I should have put things together, but Twilight reads so many books that I didn't think about it.

Shining Armor: Tell me about when Twilight brought you in on this.

Spike: It was sometime after March 3rd. She told me that she needed to go to Canterlot and asked me if I could take care of something while she was gone. We went downstairs and thats when I saw it.

Shining Armor: Describe him.

Spike: He was bigger than me by about a foot and a half, but not as tall. He had a long tail which didn't have any hair. His body looked almost like a cat only a lot more muscular. His head was the weirdest part though. He had a long wide snout and no eyes, just of little holes all over it.

Shining Armor: What about his behavior? Was he aggressive?

Spike: Not really. When Twilight brought me down he jumped away from me. The entire time she explained the story to me, he just stood at the wall with his head pointing in my direction. It made me nervous but nothing happened.

Shining Armor: How was your time watching him?

Spike: Twilight was gone for about three days and for the first two he was fine. I brought him his food and water and he always just jumped to the other side of the room. He tried to avoid me and everything was going fine...until the last day.
I went to refill his water when I felt a letter coming through. After that I don't know, I guess the flames scared him or something because he freaked out after that. He started jumping and running around and wrecking stuff. I didn't know whether or not he was going to come for me or not so I ran upstairs and locked the door behind me.

Shining Armor: *Silence*

Shining Armor: You initially said you couldn't remember the events of May 1st. Is this still accurate?

Spike: I swear I cannot remember. If anything comes up you wil be the first to know.

Shining Armor: Very well. Take him back to the safe room.
