The pony looked out of the window, looking down on the ponies still infected with the IDI, waiting to get the cure from the three ponies sent from the CSA. The black cloak on the pony prevented any light down onto his face, keeping his identity a secret intentionally.

He heard his door open, but he was expecting that, his servant always was one for being punctual.

“You’re here on time, I’m impressed, this line of ponies seems to be endless.”

The pony that just came in was panting, and pouring sweat onto the ground.

“I—have—the—,“ The brown pony was panting too hard to say anything, but the cloaked one was patient, he didn’t turn around either, he was simply waiting to hear why the servant was there.

“… I have the cure, right here.”

A sinister laugh came from the cloaked pony, and then the transmitter disappeared from the servant, possibly into the cloaked one’s view.

“At last, we’ll be able to avoid the CRA’s first line of defense, the Ion cannon. We finally get to have them actually confront us.”

“Uh, sir,” The brown stallion said, “They formed the LIA, so we’re not safe out ‘there’ either.”

The pony groaned, and he finally said, “Very well, we’ll send in an operative to undermine them, we will be able to win this battle against the Empire.”

Another sinister laugh, and then a cough, on the floor showed signs of blood.

“Sir, are you okay?”

He coughed again, and then cleared his throat, “Yes, yes I am, you are dismissed until further notice.”

“Of course, thank you sir.”

And when the door closed, the stallion muttered to himself, “Celestia will regret having crossed with me, destroying my entire career… She must be gone!”



One final evil, deep, laugh vibrated through the room, and even through the complex.
