Science division 1188, Otto Chesterfield, Date, nine, seven, twenty sixty-two
Equestria has still refused to disclose with us the chemical make up of their so called "Conversion serum" and their descriptions on how it creates the effects that it has on humans are rather vague and unreliable. I cannot help but wonder why they will not explain this to us. If we do not have the right to know, then who does?
But I digress. Back to current matters. The barrier around the subcontinent Equestria is still expanding. According to our calculations it will reach the west coast of the North American Confederacy in a matter of days. Our detectors have come back with new evidence on why Humans cannot enter the barrier. This barrier is a sort of containment field for deadly concentrations of Sigma Radiation. This radiation cannot go past the barrier, and, we do not know how it is capable of erasing other man made objects. According to our tests on Equestrian subjects captured by Group 1188, we can determine that the Equestrians are immune to Sigma Radiation, which explains why they do not feel its effects. We have tried to enter the barrier with Hazmat suits to block the radiation, but the barrier's eradicating properties erase the suits, exposing the users and killing them. The Equestrian rulers, Princesses Celestia and Luna, have promised that they are doing everything they can to slow down and stop the barrier. Since there is not safe way to accurately measure the progress of the barrier, we must take their words as fact at this point. I fear that there is nothing we can do to stop it from consuming Earth.
However, I have a plan. The North American Confederacy has an unimplemented Extra-Terrestrial Colonization Initiative (ETCI). This was a program that would allow us to make an expedition to a planet similar to our Earth, known as GSC-935b. According to our probes, this planet has an atmospheric composition very similar to Earth, with a slightly higher oxygen composition, but nothing more. Interestingly enough, the system it is located in is a geocentric system, in which the sun and moon orbit around the planet. This "minisun" has undergone extreme pressure from an unknown source. It is assumed to be a neutron star at some point, but something siphoned off matter from it, making it similar to our sun in terms of relative heat to distance from the planet.
The only problem is that we have not sent an expedition team to this planet yet, but we have no time. Desperate times call for desperate measures. With the approval of President Clarke, I will assemble a team, and send out a message to the people of the North American Confederacy. We will improve the human condition. Equestria or not, we will survive this. We will adapt. We will go on.
