Rainbow Factory Condemned

by LordCarn


Chapter 18

You start skimming a few of the pages. "I can't do it anymore, I'm going to end it now. This is my last.... The workers stopped me from doing it, why do they need me alive!... I killed more today, to many to count.... they showed me a video about the factory, how it works, why it exists, and what the failures are to Cloudsdale, material.... WHY CAN'T I GET THAT SONG OUT OF MY HEAD!!??... In the Rainbow Factory, where not a single soul gets through. Yeah well, I bet the workers don't make it either.... Scootaloo is ready! It's not nearly time for her test but I know she's ready! There's no way in Equestria that she could fail. I can't help but get nervous though, I don't know what I'll do if I see her in here.... WHY DID THEY FREE HIM!!! It's like he's stalking me, questioning my every move... Dr Atmosphere seems to have taken interest in me, I just want to be left alone... STAY AWAY FROM ME DISCORD!!! How could I my dear, it's so fun to mess with other ponies brains, forcing them to write things I tell them to.... How can there be so many failures, I didn't know how many there were until now. The Dr. has been talking to me, telling me the circumstances of my recruitment. I guess the only way they could have been sure was to tell me what really was going on in the factory. I mean, it's not like some colt is gonna come up to me and say 'Hey Rainbow Dash, can you come to the Rainbow Factory section of the Cloudsdale Weather Corporation so we can see if your Sonic Rainboom' s spectra can be collected and stored so we can stop killing flight test failures and harvesting their blood so we can create rainbows to spread joy and happiness to Equestria and beyond?'..."

"It's all happened for a reason right? I mean... why would I have this ability that no one else has. I've decided that, since I'm stuck here, I might as well make the best of it while I'm here. But, as soon as I get a chance, I'm going to fly out of here faster than I've ever flown and go straight to the princesses and in going to tell them everything and have this vile place shut down!!! It's just, I don't know if my mind can continue to handle the strain of this place until that time comes. He has been visiting me every once in a while. It's kinda sad that the only connection I have with my past life is Discord. He's been talking to me inside my head, constantly asking me questions. He gets on my nerves so much that I actually yelled at him to shut up in the middle of the factory... I got a few stares after that".

"I got called into Dr. Atmosphere's office today, we had raised rather long conversation, but I can't get this one thing he said out of my head. I'm going to write down what I remember of our conversation.
"Come in Ms. Dash".
"You wanted to see me Dr.?"
"Please, just call me Hide".
"So uh, you wanted to see me?"
"Yes, it has come to my attention that you have begun working exceptionally hard these past few days, and I'd like to thank you for your effort to our cause. However it has also begun to concern me. Tell me, has something changed recently in you life? Perhaps a family member died?"
"I don't... have any... family..."
"I'm sorry to hear that Ms. Dash, perhaps something else?"
"No no, I'm fine really".
" Ms. Dash, I understand your friends are all very busy, and I know how loyal you are to them, but Ms. Dash, I must tell you that loyalties can change".
