          You ran. What else was there to do? Something unnatural was happening here and you didn't want to stick around to find out what it was. You rush past the office complex and the directory office. You quickly approach the factory door, insert the key, and open the door. You continue running through the catwalk but stumble when you notice the walls had changed. The factory was darker, there were no ponies to be seen. You examine the walls more closely and notice a dark blue pony with a vibrant yellow mane, dressed in a lab coat, step out onto a balcony. He begins shouting orders at some unknown ponies. Soon, a random pony was brought in by a machine and was systematically secured onto a table. A yellow mare with an alternating green and yellow mane steps out from behind a control panel and looks towards the one in the lab coat.

The blue colt gestures to a pony behind him who then joins him at his side. The mare had a rainbow mane and cyan colored fur. This figure was recognizable even at a long distance. It was the infamous Rainbow Dash. The blue colt made a wide gesture at the factory before him. "So Rainbow Dash, do you want to know how rainbows are made?" She gives him an inquisitive look. He nods at the yellow pony bellow him who then smiles and pulls a lever. Rainbow Dash watched as a mechanical device slid out from a nearby wall and placed itself right in front of the restrained pony. A scalpel slides out from a long arm from the machine. The blue colt smiles as he sees Rainbow Dash's horrified face.

The scalpel searches for its entry point and as soon as it finds it, plunges into the unfortunate pony lying helpless upon the table before them. Rainbow Dash slowly backs away from the edge of the balcony, turns and runs. The blue colt just smiles and says to the yellow mare "Glaze, make sure she doesn't make it out." Glaze walks over to a small microphone, speaks into it for a couple of seconds, then turns and nods at the blue colt.

"Joe, do you really think she can help us? We've been doing this for longer than I can remember, does she have the ability to help us change?
"I don't know Glaze, but the only way to find out if she can is to drag her right into the middle of it. She'll get used to it. After all, we did." Both ponies walk off of the screen and the film cuts off.

Why are these videos playing? Was somepony changing them? You turn your attention back towards the door on the far side of the catwalk. You approach, and open it to find yourself once again in the center of the facility.
