Personal Log of White Rabbit
Begin Log

Decided to take a short break from my work with the so called “Wolfpack” as to much and they will become numb to the pain and I don’t want that rebel private to become catatonic, he still needs to deliver the message to the rebel Commander.

Honestly was a bit surprised at who the rebel commander was though I guess after what that fool Frisk did to her it’s no surprise she’d join them. Honestly what was that so called “Doctor” even thinking? From the physiological evaluation they did on her she’d most likely have handed over all the information we could have ever wanted, hell she might have even helped us rebuild the device, but no that would have taken time and work and that fool is impatient and wants to be in the history books now.

What he did to her makes me sick, it was pointless torture and I cannot stand pointless things. Ah, the commander could have been a useful asset if he hadn’t ever gotten his hands on her. Now she is an enemy that needs to be removed and from the fact she survived a building falling on her that will be a bit difficult. But no matter, according to the psych eval she values friendship very highly and so the best way to get her to make a mistake is to attack her indirectly, and that is when torture is not pointless.

Granted this Wolfpack I’m working with has been telling me all sorts of information that could be useful later but that is just a side effect, I don’t think they realize this is all happening to them to get at their commander. Once the Rebel Commander is sufficiently off balance and blinded by rage it will be a simple matter to lure her into a trap like so many others in the past.

All I need to worry about if High Commander loses patience’s with me and choses to liquidate me, though I have plans in place to ensure I can disappear. As long as they feel what I am doing is working on their time tables then I should be fine.

Anyways I should get back to work as don’t want them relaxing too much.

End Log

Twilight stepped out of the Armory, she had just finished a lesson on firearms maintenance with Dupo, Twilight had learned all she could about working with guns and was cleared to use any firearm she may come across and deiced to also learn how to maintain better than the basics training she had. Even with her new responsibilities she made sure to find time to learn new things as she believed any little information could be useful.

She was still debating on what to learn next as it was between explosives or computer hacking, though cybernetics were of interest to her as well. Twilight sighed as she trotted down the tunnels, so many things to learn and so little time to learn them, though she had promised herself that before she returned home she would learn everything on her check list.

Actually thinking of hacking wasn’t there something she had needed to talk with Delco about a while ago? Twilight stopped dead in her tracks and facehoofed. The damn information from the train! She had been distracted by retaking the base and rescuing the General and with everything that happened after that it had complexly slipped her mind the information that was sitting on her Datapad. Mentally kicking herself the mare made her way for the hacking section of the base.

It didn’t take long for her to reach her destination and she walked into the slightly dark room. Honestly why the soldier in this division preferred it so dark she had no idea. Most of the light in the room came from the computer monitors sitting atop the desks and a scattering of lamps.

“Hello?” She called into the seemingly empty room, she knew it wasn’t but preferred not to get surprised by a soldier suddenly appearing beside her from between the computers and servers.

Sure enough from behind one of the server towers a rebel soldier appeared looking to see who had spoken. “Oh commander, it’s you, what brings you to our den?” The soldier asked without a salute. Twilight had learned quickly that trying to get men and women of the hacking division to adhere to basic military doctrine was a losing battle she could not win as the information only lasted till she left the room.

“I’m looking for Delco, where can I find him?”” She asked and the soldier pointed to a back corner of the room. “Thank you.” She said with a nod to the soldier who disappeared back to whence he came. Twilight started to weave her way deeper into the room having to avoid computer equipment, cables, some food, old cans and the occasional sleeping hacker. The soldiers of this division rarely left the room and someone was always working hacking something whether to aid the rebels or just because they could, Twilight saw no reason to stop it as it kept them sharp.

After making it through the maze she arrived at a desk that was a bit more organized then the rest of them with a familiar officer sitting behind it. “Hello Lieutenant.” Twilight said.

Delco looked up from his computer and quickly stood and snapped to a salute. “Ma’am did not expect to see you down here or I’d have met you at the door.” He said crisply.

Twilight waved a hoof. “Relax Delco, this is an informal meeting.” She told him smiling.

Delco relaxed and retook his sit sitting back in it. “Well then what brings you down here then?” He asked.

“I have a small favor to ask.” She said taking out her Datapad. “Back when Nightmare attacked that train we ran into special forces on board.” She said and

Delco nodded. “So I heard.”

“Well it was clear they were guarding something so I had Rook 2 hack the computer in their car, she couldn’t get much but the basic manifest but a name popped up as a destination for the equipment. “She said and held up the Datapad with the file displayed.

She saw Delco’s face change to a glare. “So Doctor Fucker had equipment on the train.” He said with barely contained anger.

Twilight nodded. “Exactly, Rook 2 wasn’t skilled enough to unlock the full encryption but I know a guy who probably could.” She said smiling at him.

Delco nodded and retrieved a cable from his desk. “Consider it done, anything with that sick fucks name on it and I’ll get into it.” He said as he hooked up the Datapad to the computer and started the transfer. “It will give me a good break anyways from rebuilding the files we got from the heist anyways.”

“How is that going by the way?” Twilight asked.

Deco sighed and rubbed his eyes. “Shit, the computer getting destroyed like that caused a lot of corruption in the files, I’ve managed to repair a little bit of it but not a lot, and I’ll send a report when I find something useful.”

Twilight nodded once more. “I know.” There was a beep from the computer. “Seem the transfer is complete.” She said.

“Yeah” Delco said as he unhooked the Datapad and handed it back to Twilight. “So how you been doing since your surgery been about a week right?”

Twilight opened her mouth to respond but was interrupted by a squawk from her radio. Putting a hoof to her ear she spoke into the mic. “Go for Commander Sparkle.”

“Ma’am you are needed in the staging area, we have a situation here.” Came the voice of one of the Rebels guarding the entrance.

“What sort of situation?” She asked.

“Private Wallace from Wolfpack has returned ma’am and….ma’am I don’t know what the hell happened to him but he is asking for you ma’am, won’t speak to anyone else and when we try to get close to him he takes a swing.”

Twilight looked at Delco. “I need to go now.” She said and was galloping from the room before the rebel hacker had a chance to respond. Wolfpack had bene missing for a week and now one of them returns wanting to see her, every fiber of the commander being screamed something was wrong.

Twilight galloped into the staging area and found a squad of rebels with their rifles aimed at a shirtless private Wallace who was backed into a corner and there was a crowd of other soldiers around most likely drawn by the sound of the commotion just as some had followed the galloping Twilight.

“Stand down!” Twilight shouted at the squad of soldiers. She pointed at the sergeant on duty. “Report what the hell is going on here?”

“He attacked us ma’am. I don’t know why but he just went off on us.” He said and Twilight noticed that he had a large bruise already forming on his face just below his right eye. “He just kept demanding to see you said he had a message for you.”

Twilight nodded and looked at Private Wallace, she could tell the soldier hasn’t slept in a long time by the bags under his eyes and his eyes darted around franticly as if he expected something to attack him any second. Twilight blinked as she actually looked into his eyes.

Carefully she approached him and waved the other back. “Easy private, you’re safe, you made it back to base.” She said calmly.

Wallace focused on her as if just noticing she was there. “n-no…nowhere is safe….he can be anywhere…” He said and licked his lips before his eyes darted around again.

“Who is everywhere?” Twilight asked and Wallace refocused on her.

“The man in the mask…” He said and suddenly jumped away from the wall and grabbed Twilight and dragged her close. Twilight quickly waved off the soldiers as she heard them raise their rifles. “Make the screaming stop!” Wallace screamed in her face before stumbling back against the wall and sliding down it.

“Private…where is your squad?” Twilight asked taking a seat before the clearly traumatized soldier.

Wallace’s eyes glazed over. “I can still him them screaming…..” He whispered before slamming his head back against the wall. “Make it stop!” He yelled as he did it again and again and again. “Make it stop! Make it stop! Oh god make it stop! I don’t want to hear the screaming anymore!” The soldier yelled as he tried to slam his head into the wall once more but failed as Twilight restrained him in her magic.

“It ok Private, no one can get you here.” She told him soothingly once Wallace stopped fighting her magic.

“Nowhere is safe….the black soldier s can be anywhere….they can get any one of us…” Wallace said and Twilight released her magic. As she thought, that was the second report of the black armored soldier now.

“Private…what did the man in the mask want?” She asked carefully.

“Nothing….he never asked any questions…he just made them scream louder and louder. He never said a single word….” Wallace said starting to shake.

“Private Wallace….you…you said you had a massage for me? What is it?” She asked not sure if she wanted to hear it.

Wallace looked at her, his eyes drained of all life. ‘He said….he said to tell you….this is just the beginning….” He whispered so quietly Twilight barely could hear him before he curled into a ball and started to quietly sob and beg for the screaming to stop.

Twilight tried to speak to him but nothing she said got a reaction from the broken soldier and soon after that a couple of Medics arrived as someone had sent word they were needed.

Carefully the medics sedated Wallace so they could load him onto a stretcher to take him to the Infirmary. Twilight was in the middle of question the squad that had found Wallace when one of the medics called out to her. “Ma’am I think you may want to see this.” He said holding Wallace on his side.

Twilight walked around the soldiers and froze as she saw what the medic had found. There on Private Wallace’s right shoulder blade was the image of a serine white rabbit looking back at the viewer. The son of a bitch had signed his work.

“Get him to the infirmary.” She said and looked at the sergeant on duty. “Spread the word, I want this place locked down, I don’t want so much as a single rat getting in and out, inform all squads currently out on mission that unless they need life and death medical aide they are to avoid returning to base till further notice, am I understood?” She said with an edge of steel in her voice and barley concealed anger.

The Sergeant saluted. “Yes ma’am.” He said before he moved to carry out her orders as the medics carried off Wallace. Twilight stayed only a few minutes to make sure her orders were carried out to the letter before she turned and walked into the base, she needed to talk to someone about something she was going to need to make sure that that bustard payed dearly.

The door to Dr. Anderson’s office flew open as the very angry mare walked in. “I need better cybernetics!” She demanded rearing up and slamming her hooves down on the doctor’s desk

Dr. Anderson blinked several times. “There are no better, you have military grade cybernetics, there isn’t anything higher than that. “ Dr. Anderson said calmly.

Twilight ground her teeth. “There has to be something better!” She demanded again.

“I’m sorry commander there isn’t, the only way to get any better would be to get custom cybernetics but I don’t have the resources or equipment to make custom ones, it was a long shot I was able to alter ones to fit you as it was.”

Twilight growled and made a decision in that second. “Then teach me about cybernetics so I can work on them myself.” She said. “If I have to I’ll make it an order.”

Dr. Anderson sighed and removed his glasses and rubbed the bridge of his nose. “Very well commander I’ll do my best but it is a complicated subject to learn.”

Twilight smiled at him. “Don’t worry doctor I am a quick study.” She said proudly.

Sighing Dr. Anderson replaced his glasses. “Very well when do you want to start?”

“Now would be a good time.” She said and took a seat in front of the desk and got comfortable as a note pad and pen appeared next to her. “So…start.”

Twilight stood in the infirmary beside Private Wallace who was heavily sedated and strapped to his cot. From what she had heard when he was taken off the sedation he had attacked Dr. Grey screaming about getting to screaming to stop and it took two soldiers to restrain him so Dr. Grey could sedate him again.

Twilight watched the broken soldier calmly breathe. If not for the fact she had seen it herself she’d think he was just sleeping, only the mild twitches and spasms ruined the peaceful image. “You’re back there aren’t you?” She quietly asked him.

It had been about six hours since the private had returned to base and yet he was still back where ever he had been held, reliving whatever had happened to him behind his eye lids where there was no escape for him.

Twilight sighed and looked around the room, the medic that was on duty sat slumped over in the chair behind the desk, having been hit with a sleeping spell by twilight the second she entered the room, Dr. Grey was most likely in her quarters asleep or else were in the base. No one but Twilight the medic and Private Wallace were in the room.

Her gaze returned to the young soldiers sleeping form and she sighed again. “I’m sorry this happened to you private, I truly am.” She said calmly as she lite her horn. “It will all be over soon and you won’t have to worry about the screams anymore. “She whispered as her magic reached into his chest and wrapped around his heart. Slow, ever so slowly she began to tighten her magical grip, she could feel the heart start to struggling to pump as her magic tighten more and more and Wallace started to struggle slightly in his sleep.

“Shh…it’s ok.” She whispered to the soldier as her magic tightened enough to stop his heart. “I swear, with Celestia and Luna and whatever gods my exist that I will make White Rabbit pay for what he did. “She told him as the heart monitor went from rabid beeps to a single solid beep as all the readings dropped to zero signaling that Private Wallace had escaped his nightmare.

Twilight held her magic for a few more seconds to make sure before she released the spell and stepped away from the cot. She knew it would look like that his body gave out do the sleep deprivation and now that his adrenaline was no longer pumping through his veins.

As she left the room she reversed the spell on the medic behind the desk, he would wake up in a couple of minutes and rush to try and save Wallace, he wouldn’t be able to and it wouldn’t matter, Wallace was already saved now that he had been released from his torment.

Twilight walked down the tunnels towards her quarters, she had things to plan and equipment to locate. By the time she found White Rabbit she would be ready, and she would make him scream like he made Wolfpack scream and it would be music to the Commander’s ears.
