Derpy trotted on over to her lab station, just to get her things, and to see it one last time. She could fondly remember spending hours on end tampering with the DNA of countless diseases. The happiness she got when she cracked the code, and figured out how to cure the disease. Figuring out the patterns of mutations in certain diseases. All of it, achieved in this very lab. Yes, it was hard for Derpy to let go, but when you retire, you gotta let go. She shed a tear, and muttered "I'm going to miss you." She turned around, and left the building,

"Alright guys! Just because Derpy's gone doesn't mean we're screwed! We can always do what she wanted to do!" Exclaimed the	 boss. 

"What did she always want to do?" Asked one of the scientists. 

"She always wanted to figure out how to make one of the diseases actually benefit us, instead of hurt us." He replied.

"How exactly is that possible?" Said a scientist.

"As far as i know, it isn't, but hell. Its worth a shot right?" Said the Boss

"Well i suppose..."

"Then what do we got to lose?!" Exclaimed the boss

"The respect of every pony in equestria, our jobs, everything honestly" The scientist replied

"I'll fire you on the spot, if you don't attempt this" Said the boss

"Hey nothings impossible, i suppose its worth a shot right?" Said the scientist nervously

"Exactly, now go back to work" Said the boss. Every pony in the room went straight back to work. Wondering "what disease could be genetically modified to be beneficial to pony kind?" No one even had a clue. They couldn't use a virus, there was too great a risk that it would mutate, and turn into some kind of killing machine. They weren't going to use a fungus, because no good comes out of fungi diseases. They wouldn't even dare think of using a prion disease to help ponies. Prion's are dangerous even on their own, they don't need help from a team of elite scientists. It wouldn't end well. However, they could use a bacterial disease, to mold the bacteria into their own beneficial disease. They all agreed on it, and got to work. The only question remaining was, what bacterial disease should they use?
