Cold War: The Global Threat

Chapter 7 - The Hole is Lower

August 19, 50 | 7:00 am | cold and wet

Everyone was already in the meeting room, the Generals, who although they have a different rank name in the Air Force and Navy, we usually call “General”, the Officials, Commanders of the Secret Services, the Ministers, the President, the Vice-President, and other units we chose, turned on the coffee machine, put papers on the table along with the world map, checked the room to see if there were any Stalliongradi wiretapping, they were all in social clothes, green suits for the army, blue for aeronautics and white for the navy. As a tradition, we started the meeting by singing the Equestria Anthem, then the meeting began:

"You all know why we're here, right?" Dash asked.

"I think everyone is already aware." Celestia replied.

"Okay Jack, you were trapped behind enemy lines, can you tell us about what else you heard there other than the attack they're planning?" Dash asked Jack.

Also, I heard a rumor among them that th"ey plan to assassinate President Celestia to weaken us, hearing that, I was scared, and they still have plans for that, I just don't know how they're going to do it." Jack replied.

"Well...in that case we'd better do a Federal Intervention!" Screen gave the idea.

Commander Screen Shot, blue hair, brown skin, gray eyes, 1.82 tall, he is the Commander of the International Equestrian Espionage Service (IEES), responsible for sending spies and double agents to enemy forces with disguises, as a waiter from restaurant, homeless and even as an international soldier, he fought in the War as part of another company:

"Do you know how I found out about this kind of information? In the prison room, there is a glass cup, so I could identify what they were saying." Jack said.

"This tactic never fails." I replied.

"How are we going to catch the spies?" Pinkie asked.

"With the Ghosts and our agents!" I replied.

"But aren't Ghosts just for direct attack?" AppleJack questioned.

"We also do immediate action, interrogation, sabotage and other things." I replied.

"We're going to need all Special Forces in operational readiness!" Dash said.

"Ma'am, the Phantoms are only from the naval infiltration part." High Script said.

Admiral High Script, dark beige hair, dark wine skin, dark green eyes, 1.76 tall, Leader of the Phantoms, and one of the Admirals of the Equestrian Navy, even though he was young, he was promoted to General on the recommendation of the Minister of Morals:

"When I say ‘everyone’ I mean everyone, no exceptions!" Dash replied to High.

"Alright, I'll get my units ready!" High stated.

"I'll send the people of Manehattan and Fillydelphia out on the streets!" Sweetie Belle said.

"Perfect!" Dash spoke.

Commander Sweetie Belle, light and dark lilac hair, white skin, green eyes, 1.71 tall, the Commander of the Secret Service of Manehattan (SSM), responsible for the East region of Equestria, is also the sister of Minister Rarity:

"It's better not to be publicized, the population will be afraid and still conspire against us, and it will tarnish our image." Jack said.

"Relax darling, I'll take care of it!" Rarity said.

"By the way, computers are already being produced for us to keep an eye on!" AppleJack replied.

"Computers? How so?" Apple Bloom questioned.

"To send agent reports." AppleJack replied.

Commander Apple Bloom, red hair, light yellow skin, orange eyes, 1.77 tall, younger sister of Minister AppleJack and Commander of the Southern Secret Service (SSS), in which she has the same function as the Secret Service of Manehattan and Las Pegasus, looking for spies and infiltrators in our territory and eliminating targets:

"Oh yes, it makes sense!" Bloom replied back.

"What if the population sees that you are having unusual army activities?" Red Code asked.

Air Lieutenant-Brigadier Red Code, red skin, green hair, blue eyes, 1.87 tall, Leader of the Kraken and Air Force Lieutenant-Brigadier, Marine since 1937, fought in the War and like the other Special Forces of the Army, founded the Kraken in 47:

"That's a bit tricky to answer…" Rarity said.

"We can't just go around killing everyone like we did a few days ago!" Lock said.

"It was a miscalculation…" Pinkie replied.

"Whatever...Drops, what was in the truck that I got a message that we couldn't release to conventional soldiers?" Velvet asked..

"Plutonium…" Drops replied.

"How is it?" I was confused.

"We found out that they were carrying plutonium in that compound we had invaded, and it was enriched plutonium." Drops replied to me.

"Enriched? We already knew that Stalliongrad didn't have many mines with plutonium or uranium, but now this?" Barn Stock asked.

Air Lieutenant-Brigadier Barn Stock, gray skin and eyes, burgundy hair, 1.89 tall, Leader of the Black Fish and Navy Air Lieutenant, he was accepted into the army to have more discipline, after all, became General:

"Who knows what they're going to do…" Stone wondered.

"Maybe...weapons?" Loot supposed.

"Weapons...wait, are you talking about radioactive weapons?" Wire said.

"No, he's clearly talking about beauty products...obviously they're weapons!" Bow rift mocked.

Air Lieutenant Brigadier Bow Rift, dark yellow hair, dark purple skin, beige eyes, 1.93 tall, Leader of the Phoenix and Air Lieutenant Brigadier Air Force, not much is known about his background:

"But what does all this have to do with the attacks in 5 days?" Jack asked.

"This is additional information." Dash replied.

"But it's also interesting information for the future." I said.

Speaking of which, I heard a rumor that the Stalliongradis would be buying the plutonium from a Soviet company, I couldn't identif"y the name, because, for them, it would be confidential, I think it must be some Soviet scientific industry that is giving these products to the military soviets." Jack said.

"They probably want to make something more powerful than an atomic bomb." Screen said.

"Yes, it could be an alternative." Jack replied.

"Screen, Sniper and Bow, I want you to look into this further!" Dash ordered.

"Yes ma'am!" I stated.

"I'm going to start investing in more chemical weapons, in case this turns into a Chemical-Arms Race!" Twilight said.

"Good idea!" Luna replied.

Vice President Luna, blue skin and eyes, light blue and dark blue hair, 1.67 tall, I studied with her when Celestia was a teacher, she was also coordinator when Celestia was Principal, the 2 are sisters:

"I don't know if it's a good idea... messing with chemical or radioactive weapons…" Fluttershy spoke.

"Sorry to be rude to you, but it's either that or we're going to be decimated." I replied.

"I see…" she understood.

"We can try to do diplomatic missions." Snow supposed.

General Snow Sky, pink skin, purple hair, orange eyes, 1.73 tall, she is an Army General and a veteran, early in her career she did some clandestine missions and infiltrated enemy lines:

"How? They will attack anyway." Pinkie had a point.

"There's that point, but we can't escalate it straight into a straight conflict!" Cloud Card had another.

General Cloud Card, water green skin, blue eyes, yellow hair, 1.76 tall, he is a General of the Army, he proved to be a dedicated and correct person, that's why he became General:

"Let's go on diplomatic missions!" Celestia said.

"But they will kill our diplomats!" I gave another point.

"Probably not, if they were spying on us, they know what we're capable of." Celestia replied.

"You have a point." I said.

"We're running out of options…" Scootaloo pointed.

Commander Scootaloo, light purple hair, orange skin, purple eyes, 1.74 tall, she is the Commander of the Secret Service of Las Pegasus, and also a great athlete, sometimes completing missions herself:

"We can see the diplomatic missions later, now, the focus is on protecting the President and Vice!" Velvet said.

"If they see someone trying to kill her, people will ask for answers!" Lock pointed.

"That can't be disguised, but it wouldn't be that new either." Rarity pointed.

"We need to see about the attack first!" High exclaimed.

"Let's see the diplomatic missions first!" Loot exclaimed too.

"The President's life is at risk!" Velvet said.

Then, an uproar began, people saying that it was more important to see about the attack, others wanting the diplomatic missions, the concern for Celestia and Luna's life, it was a discussion that could understand nothing:

Yes, reall"y! But if we do this now, the population will be afraid and the enemies will notice, and they will notice our weaknesses, and worse than that, the press will ask why." Jack said, then everyone stopped discussion.

"The media part is already on hand, honey, but if someone sees something, we either kill it or we create some story!" Said to him.

"The part of repelling the attack will not be so difficult, with the Special Forces plus the Intelligence agents, it will be much easier, if there is a shootout in the middle of the street…" I started speaking.

"...we said it was just an inconvenience, it's just that the police are investigating!" Rarity completed the sentence.

"That!" I agreed.

"So are we done with the attack part here? It's going to be stealthy...let's keep people from seeing it…" Card said.

"No, there's still a lot…" I spoke.

"But if the police ‘investigate’, we'll need to come up with something, what will it be?" Snow pointed.

"Good point." I agreed.

"Maybe...a criminal faction?" Luna supposed.

"It could work!" Rarity replied.

"And with that we have a curfew!" Dash exclaimed.

"Wouldn't that be too extreme and ghastly for civilians?" I said.

"We need something that isn't too scary for the population…" Snow stated.

"I think that here in Equestria there should be some spies." Jack pointed.

"We've had some...problems catching spies since the first time you broke into that complex." Pinkie said.

"It was actually a compound." I corrected

"Yeah!" Pinkie replied.

"Maybe they knew we were going to break in, so they put up a fake name list…" I supposed.

"I hope that doesn't happen again…" Dash said.

"Yes ma'am." I replied.

"Let's see then, the 5-day attack has been confirmed, but we don't know the enemy's attack, so we have to take care of some spy suspects who are in Equestria, who are passing information to the Stalliongradians." Jack said.

"Let's increase the frequency of parties and build more nightclubs." Pinkie replied.

"Nightclubs?" Jack asked.

"Are you going to cut off the spies' dick?" Lock made a joke.

High and Jack holded the laugh.

"LOCK!" Velvet exclaimed.

"Men…" Pinkie said.

"It's serious…" Jack pointed.

"The nightclubs will probably get their attention, as Stalliongrad doesn't have any nightclubs." Pinkie said.

"It's a good plan!" I agreed.

"Yeah, it makes sense." Jack said.

"I'm going to announce in the newspapers the opening of the new whorehouse." Rarity said.

"Wait…whorehouses…hmmmm…" Jack said.

"Whorehouse and nightclub are the same thing." Rarity explained

"I know a friend of mine who works in these areas." Jack said.

"Who?" Rarity asked.

"Mary, she's from another city, I'll call her to help us, she was also a spy, but lost her position after she married a man." Jack detailed.

"The more spies the better!" Rarity said.

"We're going to need new unregistered spies too!" I agreed.

"There is another spy besides me. However, he is a sniper, just like me." Jack said.

"Does he have records or reports where he is mentioned?" I asked.

"His name is Eduard, he was in the army." Jack said.

"Will do." Dash replied.

"But he was also part of the Espionage work." Jack replied back.

"I know someone who might be a spy who has no records." Twilight said.

"Hitman?" I asked.

"No, she works at the post office." she replied.

"Post office?" I found it strange.

"Yes, Derpy Hooves!" she said.

"Derpy...I don't know." I replied.

Wait, the Derpy we went to high school with and dated that nutcase who almost destroyed the chem lab? Dash asked.

"He's actually smart, no wonder he's part of the Ministry of Science." Twilight replied.

"If you say so…" Dash said.

"Well, actually we already have spies at the post office, customs, ports, railroads…" I replied.

"I'm talking about something else, about her being a real spy!" she said.

"How so?" I was confused.

"One thing nobody knows about her is that she practiced martial arts." Twilight replied.

"That's a point, but martial arts alone wouldn't get her out of a risky situation." I pointed.

"Then someone goes undercover at the post office she works for and asks her to meet you at the next military training for...I don't know, the Ghosts or Phoenix." Twilight said.

"Right…" I replied.

"She works at the Ponyville agency." she detailed.

"We're going to do that, so any more suggestions on the attack part?" Dash asked.

"Nothing yet." Jack replied.

"Alright, now let's get to the President's safety!" Dash said.

"Well that's enough, I need to leave, good luck to all of us." Jack left.

"See ya." I replied.

"Sniper...do you really trust Jack?" Dash asked.

"I trust with my life!" I replied.

"Well, and you trust him, so I will too!" she replied back.

"Right!" I said.

"For Celestia's safety, I think we should leave snipers and snipers in the buildings!" Snow gave the idea.

"It's a good idea, we can leave some soldiers inside the sewers, who knows where they will enter…" High said.

"For the escorts we're going to have to make the equipment heavier…" Dash ordered.

"I'll provide new prototype vests!" AppleJack said.

"We're going to need to improve our communication too, something like a radio but mixed with a telephone." I supposed.

"Radiotelephone? Great idea!" I praised.

"This will come in handy, especially for spying!" Dash said.

"When are you going to start producing this radio-telephone?" Pinkie asked,

"Folks, we have something else to focus on right now…" Red pointed.

"Oh, really, sorry." Pinkie apologized.

I think Applejack is right. I think a radiotelephone would be a good invention, especially for "the army! But he's right, we have more pressing things to attend to at the moment, so I think we'll have to wait a little longer before starting production on them." Twilight said.

"Let's keep working on communication as well, it'll be useful for both of their protection!" Dash said.

"Is non-verbal language not enough?" Snow asked.

"We should talk about codes too!" I replied.
We continued talking about this part of the President's and Vice's security for a few more hours, so we closed this topic:

"Well, in terms of security I think it's just that, increase security, place snipers, improve equipment...okay, now let's go to the diplomatic missions!" Dash exclaimed.

"For diplomatic missions, does anyone know any diplomats?" I said.

"Starlight Glimmer has a doctorate in foreign affairs." Celestia pointed.

"Cool." I replied.

"Sunset Shimmer just finished college for foreign affairs too." Twilight replied back.

"Let's put spies without records too, we say they are Advisors or something." Red supposed.

"Advisory? It's not a bad idea." Loot said.

Suddenly the door opened, it was Jack:

"Sorry to interrupt, but we have a new member here and I want to show you…" Jack spoke, then he walked in with one more guy" With you, Eduard Mac II!

"Pleasure." Eduard greeted.

"Hi...did you decide to go back to the meeting?" Dash asked.

"No, but he has some crucial information about Stalliongrad." Jack explained.

"And the Germaneighians…" Eduard said.

"Whoa, get this straight!" Dash replied.

In 1945, with the end of the War, Germaneighia was divided into 2, North Germaneighia and South Germaneighia, which was our side, the north one was owned by Stalliongrad, the only information we had until that moment, is that Death Scan was in Stalliongrad, and he is Germaneighian:

"Before everything we are going through, I was doing an operation on Germaneighia, as there is a suspicion of biological weapons, such as cloning or mutation of living beings. That was in the second war, and when I went to check if it was real or not, the Germaneighians, in total, contain 44 biological weapons laboratories spread around the world, in a secret way." Eduard detailed.

"What? Biological weapons? How so?" Jack asked.

"The Gargoylians were able to identify some suspects, such as the disappearance of certain animals or plants and even specific people with some kind of genetic disease." Eduard explained.

"Gargoylians?" Jack asked.

"Yes. During the second war, the Gargoylians became preoccupied with some Germaneighian biological technologies. For example: Katchup Gas, could kill 1 to 100 men in 5 seconds, not only Gargouille, but Oakland, Equestria and even the Stalliongradis so afraid of these weapons from the Germaneighians!" Eduard said.

"Yeah, but where are you going with this?" Jack asked.

"The Germaneighians would be developing some kind of biological weapon that involves humans. I believe it is to create Superhumans (or soldiers). Already the weapons, would be as deadly as the bomb of Hiroshima and Nagasaki!" Eduard complemented.

"Superhumans?" Jack asked.

"In one of my invasions in Eastern Europe, I found a Germaneighian laboratory, in it, there were several giant CAPSULES, with some green liquid that I cannot identify." Eduard said.

"What was there?" Jack asked.

"It was abandoned after the war, and all the men involved in the experiment were dead." Eduard said.

"And the documents, what was in that liquid?" Jack asked.

"When I went looking for some documents there, I discovered that the Nazis were developing some kind of human being, which for them would be ‘HB-87’, they wanted, not only to develop super humans, but also to create some kind of armor that behave according to the user…" Eduard replied.

"It's very advanced…" Jack said.

"Wait? Does Equestria know about this? Sniper, Velvet and Lock, I want explanations!" Dash said this in a more serious and aggressive tone.

I really didn't know that:

"I don't know anything." I said.

"Neither do I." Velvet replied to Rainbow.

"I don't remember any of that, everything Equestria discovered during the War is archived here at the Pentagon!" Lock exclaimed.

"It's because I'm part of another military unit, don't worry, I'll help you, it's so secret that not even the high-ranking military knows about it." Eduard said.

"Fucking hell…besides Stalliongradis, now comes this! But you did a feat, you have my respect!" Jack said.

"Right…" Dash replied.

"To tell you the truth, I knew that too…" Red spoke.

"How?" Pinkie was confused.

"1 year after the end of the war, there was no one there anymore, so I decided to visit it, I met local paramilitaries and I saw a strange movement in North Germaneighia, so I went to investigate, and really, there were great people behind it Furthermore, Death Scan and other Germaneighian officers who had already died, and they had dealings with Stalliongrad, as expected…" Red replied.

"Give me a reason to stay alive…" Rainbow Dash pinned him against the wall and pointed a gun at his head.

"We need him!" I said.

"Are you saying that to defend him or what?" she asked.

"If he was also investigating, he would have information too!" I explained.

"He committed the Crime of Omitting Military Data!" she argued.

"That would result in his office being revoked and the Kraken having to go into someone else's hands." I said.

"…" Red had no reaction.

"I'm not going to revoke your position because I know you, but I better be hiding nothing else…" Dash let go of him and sheathed the gun.

"All I know is that what Eduard said is correct, and that Stalliongrad is involved." Red spoke.

"Guys, calm down, I know we are all distressed by such a difficult time like this!" Jack exclaimed.

"What I'm saying is true. There are biological weapons in between!" Eduard said.

"That's too dangerous, plus we're taking care of Celestia, the Stalliongradis, and even bioweapons!" Jack exclaimed.

"Let's do things calmly, it's no use for us to be in a hurry!" Eduard said.

"Let's spy on Northern Germaneighia too!" Snow supposed.

"How do you plan to do that?" Twilight asked.

"Do the subways still run between the 2 sides?" I asked.

"I like the idea!" Dash replied.

"Shall we get Ghosts or Intelligence agents to go there?" High asked.

"Let's put Phantoms, Ghosts and Intelligence Field Agents, I want scouts and assault in Southern Germaneighia!" Dash replied.

"Understood!" I stated.

Yes ma'am! High stated.

"How many agents do you think we'll need?" Dash asked.

"Around 10!" I replied.

"Wait, invasion? This has several irregularities, and is even illegal!" Card questioned.

"Are you kidding?" Bow asked.

"With all due respect, General, do you know what we do?" Drops said to Card.

"What we do is already illegal!" Lyra stated.

"We need permission to enter Germaneighia with our agents!" Card replied.

"Mister Cloud Card, we're talking about world sovereignty at stake!" Celestia said.

"Not to mention we're already doing the same thing in Stalliongrad, and you haven't even said a word." Dash said.

"What exactly are you worried about?" Pinkie asked.

"The external press, South Germaneighia is our property, but it is not part of our territory!" Card questioned.

"It's already decided, 10 operators go to North Germaneighia!" I replied.

"But General Commander, what if…" Card started to speak.

"You agree with that decision, don't you?" I cutted him.

"Yes sir…" he stated.

"Good." I said.

"I just have a question: who is in charge of the diplomatic missions in Stalliongrad?" Card asked.

"Miss Twilight, where can I find Starlight Glimmer and Sunset Shimmer?" I asked Twilight.

"Currently Starlight lives in Baltimare, Sunset lives in Lakewood." she replied.

"Right." I replied back.

"I don't mean diplomats, I mean who will be in charge of spy missions!" Card questioned.

"Me!" me, Pinkie Pie and Rainbow Dash replied at the same time.

"I think it's okay for the 3 of us to go." Dash said.

"Right." I stated.

"I think I can handle the Ministry of Defense and the Ministry of Morals." AppleJack offered help.

"Perfect!" Dash replied.

"Erh...Pinkie, you know...handle a gun?" Velvet asked Pinkie.

"Of course I do, silly... I mean, Velvet, I know a lot of things you don't!" Pinkie replied.

"Right…" Velvet replied back,

"Who will be the Stalliongrad agents and which ones will be in Germaneighia?" Screen asked.

"For now everyone goes to Stalliongrad, Lyra, Drops and High stay in North Germaneighia, stay watching!" Dash ordered.

"Yes ma'am!" High stated.

"To Stalliongrad, in addition to me, Sniper and Pinkie, there's also Jack, Eduard, 2 members of Rookie 0-1 who are already there, Flash Scout and Crow Top!" Dash said.

"But isn't Flash out?" I asked.

"And Crow was shot!" Rarity warned.

"Crow is out of the hospital." Wire informed.

"Already? When?" Rarity asked.

"Yesterday." Wire replied.

"Good." Rarity was relieved.

"I don't know if it's a very good idea for him to be active now…" Fluttershy said.

"Calm down, Flutter, he's strong!" Dash replied.

"Right…" Fluttershy asked.

"When do you plan to go?" Screen asked.

"The day before the attack begins!" Dash replied.

"Who will be the Rookie 0-1 agents coming with us?" I asked.

"Velvet, you who talk to them the most, can you recommend 2?" Dash asked Velvet.

"Master Key and Blow Dart!" Velvet indicated.

"Great!" Dash said.

"And the rest of the team?" Velvet asked.

"I already have people in mind." Dash said.

"Okay." Velvet said.

"What's the name of the group going to be?" Pinkie asked.

"Research and Data Analysis Group!" Dash replied.

"GIAD?" I said.

"Exactly!" Dash replied.

"I think we can end the meeting here!" Celestia stated.

"Everything is already planned, repelling the attack, the security of the Heads of State and the diplomatic missions." Dash said.

"All dismissed!" Celestia dismissed all of us.

"See you another day!" I said.

We all leave the meeting room:

"I'll warn the Ghosts!" I informed.

"Sniper...mind if I accompany you?" Snow asked.

"That's a bit of a weird request, but if you want it, that's not my problem." I replied.

"Okay…" she replied back.

I walked to my office, Snow followed, going in, I already turned on the computer sending a message to the Colonels of the Ghosts:

We are going to initiate a Federal Intervention, but we will do it quietly, I want all operators available on the streets, but make absolutely nothing explicit, it is necessary that you gentl"emen contain an attack from Stalliongrad that will happen in 5 days, remember to maintain secrecy, I don't want to hear about the population asking what's going on" I typed on the mailbox.

"I liked the office." Snow said.

"So, General, did you come to ask for something specific?" I asked.

"I want to be part of the Ghosts!" she replied.

"Come with me!" I relied back.

We left my office and went to my car, then, I started driving, I was heading towards Ponyville, we were going to pay a visit to Derpy Hooves, as Twilight recommended, from there, we would go straight to the Ghosts' base, enjoy that there were some candidates who were going to participate in the contest.

August 19, 50 | 2:32 pm | cold and wet

We arrived at the Ponyville post office, and right at the counter, I saw her, Derpy Hooves, blonde hair, gray skin, yellow eyes, 1.69 tall, there was a huge queue ahead, but even so, I passed by everyone and went up to the counter:

"Erh...sir, could you go to the end of the line?" Derpy said.

"You come with me, Derpy Hooves!" I replied.

"Wait, is this a kidnapping? HELP!" she started to panic.

"No, it's not a kidnapping, but you need to come with me!" I replied.

"O-okay, but I'm working!" she said.

"Equestria needs you!" I replied to her.

"Oh yeah, I understand, but I'm already a desk clerk and mailgirl here...wait, am I being transferred?" she asked.

"Around, but I need you to come with me!" I replied.

"Okay, what's your order?" she asked.

"Just...follow me." I ordered.

We got into my car, and when Derpy saw that Snow was in uniform:

"Wait...I-I'm being arrested?" Derpy looked at me with teary eyes.

"No, but we need you!" I replied.

"My name is Snow Sky." Snow said.

"I'm Derpy Hooves, nice to meet you!" Derpy replied.

"Sniperplayer." I replied Derpy.

I drove back towards the base, when I got there, I went through the gates and parked the car, we got out and walked towards the training field, which had a lake, an obstacle course and a series of training fields for CQB, it was an area like any other, our differential is that we complicate things for candidates and for those who are taking the course, in case the course is based on real situations, after they are approved, they earn their skull balaclavas and the battalion symbol, a skull wearing a beret. I took 2 uniforms and threw them to Derpy and Snow:

"Wear and meet me in the courtyard!" I ordered.

"Yes sir!" Snow replied.

I went to the courtyard, there were already the candidates, there were around 200 candidates, including Snow and Derpy, who arrived quickly, so I started talking:

"Good afternoon ladies and gentlemen candidates, today I'm going to apply for the test to see who deserves or doesn't deserve to take the Equestrian Special Operations course, to be more specific, the Ghosts! This group was started along with the Stalliongrad threats against our sovereignty. All of you are capable of defending Equestria, but not all of you will be able to pass this test. Any questions?" - I said.

"Isn't that just for army people?" Derpy asked.

"Let's just say you're an exception to the rule, I was asked to see you, and here I am!" I replied.

"Oh…" Derpy exclaimed.

"Any other questions?" I asked everyone.

Everyone was silent:

"Great, now, I want to know the following: who here wakes up and has breakfast before making the bed?" I asked, about 30 candidates raised their hands, and I said “You better leave now!”

So they left:

"This is where the game starts…" I said, as I lit a cigar.

To be continued!!!
