Science division 1188, Otto Chesterfield, Date, nine, ten, twenty sixty-two
Negotiations with Princess Celestia on the removal and migitation of the Conversion Zones have so far been unsuccessful. Due to the sudden speed up in the barrier's expansion, she claims that she is only trying to save as much lives as she can. I fear that the amount of lives lost due to the violence that has sprouted because of this does not justify her actions. We were unable to convince her to take down the Conversion Zones. Our only option is to send armies into the Conversion Zones that are located in the immediate vicinity of the Evacuation Zones to liberate as many humans as we can. Celestia has warned us against this, saying that she is ready and willing to retaliate should this course of action be taken, but I am afraid that there is no other option.
Our informant has not been able to recover any data on the barrier, however, she has managed to get a small sample of the Conversion Serum. This is all we need. Perhaps we can reverse engineer the serum someday, should the barrier slow and allow enough time. Another thing, she has learned and reported Celestia's retaliation plan. Celestia has amassed armies that are prepared to attack the Evacuation Zones directly on a moment's notice. Our informant has offered to have specialized teams of her comrades create a protection field around the Evacuation Zones. This field uses magic and amplifies its area via quartz dispersal units to make a localized field that can withstand and disperse any amount of radiation. If only we had such technology at Chernobyl. From what tests we have done so far, this field also mitigates the effects of the Conversion Serum, as several radioactive elements within the serum are irradiated, requiring a much larger quantity of serum for a successful conversion. We have also learned that the serum has a sort of built in safety mechanism of some sorts. Conversion can only take place when a certain amount of radiation is exposed to a human being. We are trying to pinpoint the exact amount or radiation required for a conversion to take place. The informant has offered to assist us in decoding this complex potion for Tests 03-04 to 03-12 the first of which will take place at 7:00PM tonight.
There has been talk of a retribution plan, should the barrier fully engulf the entire earth. One theory is to hide a large tank of radioactive dust deep underground with a drill attached, which is connected remotely to a surface sensor. When the sensor is eradicated by the barrier, the drill will take the tank up to the surface. The tank will then release the deadly radiation into the air. Another is to launch Nuclear Warheads into orbit, and programming them to re-enter the atmosphere when the sensor is destroyed. Personally, I am against these theories, they are senseless and serve no true purpose to our mission. Whatever our scientists choose to do after I leave with the colonists for GSC-935b is not under my control.
There have been reports of squads of Equestrians leaving the Conversion Zones to hunt for humans in and around the Florida province. I lost contact with Dr. Hoppner, who was stationed at a Human Liberation Force base that was a mile out from the Orlando Conversion Zone, last night. His status is currently unknown. I have ordered the army to contact HLF bases close by the Amerigo Evacuation Zone in order to provide a network of bases that lead into the perimeter of the Amerigo Zone. We have estimated that the CSS Amerigo is at 45% capacity. This is not good enough, we need to double our efforts to save as many people as we can in that area.
I fear that a peaceful solution between the people of Earth and the ponies of Equestria is no longer possible.
