The Subject of Limited Sensory Precognition has become of interest to the Ministry Mare of late. An ability that she calls her "Pinkie Sense", LSP has come up several times in conversations with her highest advisors and staff. Her understanding of it has made her completely convinced that anyone with a similar ability should be added to her staff immediately.
Before this Review, the Mare hired her sister Maudileena Daisy Pie as a scientific and investigative officer. Maudilleena, hereafter referred to by the moniker Maud, was able to demonstrate her extra-sensory abilities to several Ministry Scientists.
As a scientist herself, Maud was far more reliable in testing than the Mare was and cooperated fully with staff. Her basic abilities seemed to be similar to her sister's, but she seemed to have more control and understanding. The Transcripts of these tests are hereby attached.
~Test 1~
[Doctor] Subject is identified as LSP test subject 002, Maudileena. Doctor Pie has agreed to participate in tests regarding her apparent precognition abilities, related to those described by the Ministry Mare. Subject, please report to the testing chamber and report any precognitive experiences.
[Maud] Of course Doctor.
[Doctor] Let it be known that the subject has taken her place in the testing chamber and that tests have begun.
<several seconds of silence>
[Maud] I taste Granite, something is going to fa-
<Subject is cut off by the crash of a falling safe>
~Test 7~
[Doctor] Maud, alright, this next test involves your sister. We have asked that the Mare be placed in simulated danger in the testing facility would you kindly "Save" her?
[Maud] Tastes like Prestolite Quartz. She's too close to magical radiation, you must have placed her near...
<Running sounds>
[Doctor] <Panting> Make a note, the subject is running at incredible speed and...<Crashing sounds> Seems to be disregarding the structure of the building to get to her sister.
[Pinkie] You found me! Now it's your turn to hide!
[Maud] Yes Pinkie, it was a fun game. But you should move away from those rocks. They are not completely safe.
[Pinkie] <Giggling> You love rocks so much that I'm suprised you havn't married one yet!
[Maud] Me and Boulder are in an open relationship.
[Doctor] As obvious as it may seem, please note that the subject was able to find her sister in danger in under a minute by directing her force through walls. She exhibited the ability to find the perfect weak spot to hit. Further testing needed.
<Test 13>
[Maud] I have always had the ability to find the weak spot in stones, yes. Even before I got my Rockterate, or even began to study. I suppose it was partially the environment I grew up in, on the rock farm I learned quickly. But I took to it alot more than my sisters, and a lot quicker.
[Doctor] Have you considered that this may too be an exhibition of your Extra Sensory abilities? LSP isn't well studied yet, but perhaps you have developed slightly different abilities than your sister.
[Maud] I hadn't until just now, but perhaps you are right. The Sense, LSP, seems to attach itself to our personalities. My less care-free nature means I have slightly more practical uses of it than my sister. If it includes something so integral to my life I should be more thankful for it.
[Doctor] Lets do a few tests on your ability to sense mineral contents... could be useful in some scenarios.
<Test 27>
[Doctor] Your sister has described her LSP as becoming more powerful when taking this drug from Zebrica. We would like you to confirm if this is one of it's effects.
[Maud] Okay. <20 seconds pass by> Wow. I haven’t felt anything quite like it. My sister has repeatedly described the euphoria of drugs to me, but I never quite saw the appeal until now...
[Doctor] But does it do anything to LSP? Do you mind testing that out right now for us?
[Maud] Ah, yes right... Well, with a little bit of prodding I can tell that my sense is definitely far more powerful. I now am starting to feel some events blocks away, and that my sister is in a stressful meeting upstairs.
[Doctor] And your specific abilities?
[Maud] I don't want to admit this... it will sound treasonous.
[Doctor] Don't worry, nothing will come of this. You are working under the Princess' orders through the Ministry, completely above board.
[Maud] I know exactly where to place explosives to take down this building, the palace, or even the whole of Canterlot. With the right placement it would take approximately Thirteen correctly placed TNT explosive sticks to take out the city.
[Doctor] ... We should probably get on Suring up those faults.
[Maud] Yes Doctor.
Name: Maudileena Daisy Pie
Previous Occupation: Rock Farmer/Geology Professor
Position: MoM head of LSP Research
Abilities: LSP
Unique Abilities: Shows signs of unique forms of LSP including both the ability to sense exactly where her sister needs her, sensing the exact mineral content through various unscientific means, and knowing the weak points in any stone.
Background: The sister of the Mare of the Ministry of Morale, Maud grew up alongside their two other sisters on a Rock farm. Maud received a Rocterate after several years of research in Geological rarities, mostly stones found in odd and obscure places. Over time as the subject of Arcane Matrix technology, Maud became a researcher figuring out what gemstones worked best in Matrix-Tech.
Maud worked with the Minestry of Arcane Sciances developing several Matrix technologies with their head researchers, Mosaic and Gestalt. This research jumpstarted the beginning of the Arcane Matrix boom and lead to the majority of Magical Energy Weapons and some of the most advanced Arcahnotech developed in tandem with the MoAS.
Publicly Maud's hiring and subsequent research at the MoM is an extension of that previous research into Archanotechnologicaly sound gemstones. However, over time she has become the head of the LSP research arm of the MoM. She continues side projects related to her interests but also works with the mare to expand the LSP staff. Doctor Pie is one of the most invaluable members of LSP.
Hi there. You're probably wondering why I sent you this file. Or maybe your wondering why I'm adding an Addendum to a two-hundred-year-old Document that was out of date years before the bombs fell. Well there are some things that ponies like you need to know about so, as the active director of the Ministry of Morale, I have decided to declassify everything I have collected. Be warned, you may not like the history you see... I certainly didn't.
My name is Sourpuss. Before the war I was just another pony with a shitty job and no life. I did an editorial in the paper occasionally, and that was about it. To be honest, I'm probably one of the only ponies that could be thankful that the war happened. It was the first time I had a reason... a reason to keep on going. So, I'm releasing this file, in part, to remind myself what it was all about. As well as adding a bit of context to LSP.
LSP, Limited Sensory Precognition. It's the ability we all shared, about 10 to 20 of us, the closest and most secret sections of the MoM. We didn't know about each other before Pinkie gathered us, but we could sense when we walked close. When the war happened, Pinkie knew there was a certain type of pony she needed on her staff. I was the second one she recruited.
I suppose I was the first LSP agent the Ministry had. We called ourselves the Special Division, presided over by Pinkie herself, primarily because her name for us was dumb. The League of Secrete Ponies. She thought it was funny to Slap LSP on every memo we sent to each other, and on our personal watermarked seals. Pinkie wasn't always the smartest of ponies, let’s just say.
Out of the Division we each had our regular ranks. I was the head of the Bucklyn office, a position that would have been more important if the Mare herself didn't usually spend most days on the other side of the river. I suppose most thought I was a bit of an asshole, but at least I didn't have a stick up my ass. It was LSP that made me... made US special.
Pinkie decided, without any of our consent I might add, that despite LSP having a perfectly good name and us all having the same basic abilities we should keep to a naming scheme her and her sister came up with as foals. My abilities became known as Sour Sense. In the Division, when Pinkie wasn't looking, we usually ended up using Sense only to describe our specialties.
For me, my specialization was pain and hurt. I could feel every nasty thing that one pony did to another. I suppose that might explain to some why I was so cranky, but whatever. Usualy I felt this sensation as a sharp pain... remarkably like a knife stabbing into me I now know. When I was a foal I could sense the malcontented miasma of the world, getting a searing pain that made me know what people did.
Drug Dealers, Slum Lords, even Foal Fiddlers... Every single one of them I could pick out of a croud. Lets just say I wasn't exactly a happy camper. I mean can you fucking imagine what it was like back then, when everything was painted over with pastel colors, and see the pain that everyone ignored? How hard it was, as a foal, to deal with the horrible ponies that were in my own city?
Yeah, well, it wasn't great. In any case, these files are... well they’re not in the most direct order. But I have a "sense" that they’re in the right one.
