Declaration from White Clover
Date: April 26th
Relevant Case: Ponyville Mass Disappearance
Classification: Top Secret

To whom it may concern,

As of this declaration, all those stationed in the town of Ponyville tasked with investigating the citizenship’s disappearance are to begin immediate psychological evaluations. If the results of an individual’s evaluation is considered troubling, a mandatory period of rest and recovery will be required before they may resume duty on any case. Anyone who passes evaluations may, however, petition for rest and recovery from the head investigator, Verdant Vines.

I must assure each of you that these measures are considered important to the physical and mental well-being of all those involved in this case, and that any attempts to circumvent or avoid them will result in removal from the case and a suspension of a to-be-determined length.

If there are any concerns or issues that you need assistance with prior to scheduled visits, you can inform head investigator.

Signed,
White Clover
Central Director
Canterlot Bureau of Investigation

Vines,

I know you probably think it’s over-protective, given how you were in your last letter, and that you think it’s all superstition, but I’ve seen the complaints you forwarded from at least a dozen ponies of insomnia, nightmares or something else impacting their performance. I’m only doing this to make sure things go smoothly, and that there are no incidents.

The journal from Sweet Apple Acres has helped, a little, but we need to try and find something else. We could keep digging forever, but, sadly, I have to give a deadline for a full report to the Princess. In seven more days, we’ll take a look at what we have, and then we’ll pass a verdict on the case. We’ll pull everyone out that isn’t keeping the town under quarantine, and then we’ll look at how, or if, we’ll release the information.

I know you and your team can perform well under pressure; you’ve done it a dozen times before. Just don’t push anyone, especially yourself, too hard here.

Warmly,
Clover

P.S. Don’t think you’re exempt from these sessions either, okay?
