There was a lot of things about Vinyl Scratch that seemed only fitting for a spy novel. She was Equestria's most prominent DJ and above all, a good friend now to the Elements of Harmony and the Royal Sisters. But there was one more thing that no pony but Celestia knew. Something that had remained a secret for decades. Something that her own room mate and lover Octavia didn't know of. There was a reason why no pony had heard about the fate of Chrysalis, or why Sombra's horn mysteriously was found shattered months after his initial defeat at the hands of Spike, Cadence, and Twilight Sparkle.

Vinyl Scratch was the best Secret of the Equestrian Military. and when deployed she was deadly in the performance of her duty. And this secret was nearly exposed when the CMC ran their Gossip column in the Foal Free Press recently. A secret that Celestia made sure stayed buried.
