//------------------------------// // Operation: Rainbow Blackout [Mission Briefing] // Story: Call of Pony: Modern Prank Warfare // by Stalin with Da Spoon //------------------------------// [Location: Homebase, Earth. Date: [CLASSIFIED] Time: 0000 (12:00) Hours.] Hoot was once again stood in front of his entire squad, as they were all sat down in their seats, including David this time around, as Hoot turned to the board, as images of the recent rescue operation were displayed on the board, along with pieces of evidence, including some mane hair in a bag and a half-eaten apple. "Alright everyone, listen up. As you all know, about 14 hours ago we managed to extract David-Actual from hostile territory, but that doesn't mean that were gonna stop there. We need to show these ponies that we mean business. As such, we will be commencing counter-prank warfare against the ponies. They thought David's pranks were bad, but they haven't seen anything yet. As of now, we are officially at Prank-con 3, and you all know what that means... It's time for a proper prank war!" Mugshot images of Rarity, Applejack, and Rainbow Dash appeared on the board, as well as images of the Carousel Boutique, Sweet Apple Acres, and the Rainbow Factory. "These are our targets, as these mares are responsible for everything David has gone through. The other three ponies are to be left alone, unless they attempt to retaliate, in which case it's fair game. These are the places that they live and work, prime targets to prank them. Seeing as Rainbow was the one to start and end David's pranking spree, she will be the first target of our new spree." More images of the Rainbow Factory appeared on screen, including building blueprints, layouts, and records of the employees. "Your objective is to infiltrate the Rainbow Factory at 0100 hours, and deploy this, into the rainbow machine." A few images of black ink appeared on screen, including a plan showing how to drop the ink into the machine. "Intel suggests that Rainbow will be the one to operate the Rainbow machine at work tomorrow, so when she turns it on, our little inky surprise will go off, and cover her, the entire factory interior, and the rainbow itself, in a coating of black ink. Which, might I add, is very, very, difficult to get out. I predict it will take approximately six hours for them to clean the rainbow, and another six just to get it out of their manes." Many in the room let out cheers and hums of agreement, especially David, who was already loving this plan. "Once the ink is implanted, you shall also deploy cameras, so we can get some good reaction shots of Rainbow as she blows her lid. Now then, in order to get inside the factory, you'll be deployed to the roof via helo, then you shall be dropped down and will rappel down the wall until you reach an opening, then enter the factory, reach the machine, and deploy the ink and cameras. If your spotted by anyone, just tranq em. Once deployed, you may exit the factory the old fashioned way." "We jump?" "Precisely, just pull your chutes and the portal will open up for you. Now let's go get our revenge, boys. Show them what a real prank looks like!" "Sir yes sir, Oo-rah!" The men quickly stood up out of their seats and saluted before filing out of the room, while David and Anon stayed behind to chat with Hoot. "Hey man, I just wanna say I got nothing personal against the ponies, so y'know, don't go planting pipe bombs or anything." "Don't worry mate, we know this is all in good fun. Were just making that the score is settled properly. Now go ahead and get geared up, you got a job to do." "Roger that."
