Incident: Retrieval for Red Cupcake Ceremony: (Love Tap)
Location of Incident: 245 Turnip Way, Ponyville, Equestria, Universe 45
Date And Time: 1:00 - 4:00 PM, August 23, 2013
Writing Officer: Rich Uncorks
Details of Incident:
At 1:00 PM (our time). Two Representatives, North Thorn (Representative 29331) and Ninassakau (Representative 29933) were dispatched to the stated location to due to the Will Of Pinkamena to gather the Participant, as the standard operating procedures dictate. However, due to information gathered by my department, along with the loss of three Inquisitors, I had taken the uncommon step of sending an armed group with them for their protection. (As trained as Representatives are in combat, I felt that a group of Inquisitors, led by a Battle Priest, would discourage others from making an attempt at stopping us.)
The group traveled from our Universe to Universe 45 via the Corridor, and were deposited in an uninhabited location nearby. All they were to do is gather Love Tap and make their way back here. However, things did not go as well as hoped.
At 1:30, we attempted communication with the Representatives, but received nothing but static from their communication device. After repeated attempts to contact them failed, we followed procedure and immediately attempted to use the emergency recall, and tried to bring them back through the Corridor. However, we were unable to do so, and considering we implant the beacon into their bodies, we started to panic, as there are very few things that it can mean when we are unable to recall our people back here, and none of them are good.
At this point, I gathered together as many Inquisitors as I could quickly find (about 30), and took command of the pick-up group myself, and had the Targeteers send me through the Corridor to a location near enough to where we sent the first team. The moment we entered the world, we double-timed it over to Love Tap's house. (And in case your wondering, I didn't really care about the rules at the moment. You know She waves the rules in most cases anyway if it's to rescue our own. Besides, it was at the edge of town anyways.) We were hoping we would just bust in, save the day, kill some of The Flame, and get our Participant and our group.
What we saw was a burned down house, nothing left but smoldering cinders and ash.

To The Chief
If you get this, then it means I completed my mission. Love Tap is currently at [Redacted], in Universe [Redacted], where the Cult's attention is not focused at. However, she might not be in the best state of mind, and that is probably my fault. And this is why I am sending you this letter in advance, because I know that [Redacted] will be very upset with what I have done. And before you ask, I do not apologize for what I've done. I only apologize for Love Tap having to witness what I did.
Now, after not getting any reply back from my last communication, I assumed this was to be a solo mission and decided to make my way over to the mare's house in an effort to just get her and get back to [Redacted]. [Archivist Note: The reason his last communication was not responded to was because the person who was relaying communications at the time was busy having "relations" with one of his co-workers. We have since demoted him to janitor duty and told his wife] When I tried to explain what was going on to her, she was too busy breaking down trying to state that I was a human and shouldn't exist to listen to me. Once I had finally calmed her down, I tried to talk to her about needing to leave before the Cult showed up. She thought that the notice from the Cult (You know, the one stating their intentions to everyone who can read.) was nothing more than a sick prank. This led her to assume that I was in on it, and started to attack me with her forehooves. After taking a couple of hits to the face, I was able to restrain her enough to tell her I had come to save her. I don't think she completely believed me, considering that she refused to leave, no matter what. I don't think she believed I was completely real either.
That's when my scanner picked up an inter-universe door being opened somewhere near by, with eight life-signs exiting it. I suppose at this point, I could have just forcefully taken Love Tap and make a break for it, but that would have cause any number of problems, including the violation of the Yumiko Protocol, or innocent deaths, or any other number of bad things. So I decided instead to fight. Well, fight is probably the wrong word.
I decided to massacre the lot.
