Equinox - Mysteries and M.I.A - Investigations [Level 3 Security
Clearance - Sensitive Information]
By: Equinox Date: June 22, 2016, 10:25 pm
---------------------------------------------------------
Equinox has had a track record of successful missions and
operations during its time. Whether it be against the Rikers
smuggling ring in Equestria, or a rescue operation in the South
Luna Ocean, or even in the far off reaches in Saddle Arabia
against the rising insurrection, Equinox operations are
typically successful. Despite this, there have been some
missions that have unfortunately ended in failure, the details
of which will not be disclosed here. There have been some
strange instances where soldiers would have gone M.I.A., or have
encountered a strange mystery throughout the mission. This
investigative report was put together to outline the various
mysteries and M.I.A. in Equinox, and hopefully shed some light,
and uncover the truth of these mysteries.

Content: Radio Transmission Transcript
Location: 2 kilometers North West of FOB Needlepoint, West
Saddle Arabia
Ponies of Interest: Lt. 'Blackjack' and PFC 'Spades' of Recon
Team 'Folded Deck', 3rd Recon Battalion of CSF 'Anaconda', Radio
Op. 'Stereo Beat' of FOB Needlepoint
Occurrence: 'Mysterious Appearance of Unknown Individuals'
Summary: Lt. 'Blackjack' and PFC 'Spades' of Recon Team 'Folded
Deck' were both on a routine recon mission, searching for
pockets of resistance fighters, roughly 2 kilometers North West
of FOB Needlepoint. They had both kept communications open with
Radio Op. 'Stereo Beat'. Towards the end of the mission, the two
reported seeing a rebel camp under siege from four mysterious
individuals, before going radio silent. They have been missing
for 2 weeks, with no indication as to their status or location.

"This is Radio Op. 'Stereo Beat' to Lt. 'Blackjack' and PFC
'Spades'. Please respond."
"This is Blackjack, reporting in."
"Spades reporting in sir."
"Thank you both, how are you doing this evening?"
"Alright I guess. A bit chilly out here but nothing we can't
handle. Right Spades?"
"Roger that sir. We've probably about 0.5 km away from the
target point. What are we supposed to even find here?"
"Intel reports that there's a small camp of resistance fighters
just North West of your position. Command wants you two to make
your way there, scout the area, and report back your findings."
"Roger that, we'll get back to you if we find anything."
"Spades out."
*Roughly 30 minutes of radio silence*
"This is Blackjack to Stereo, do you copy?"
"I read you Blackjack. What's your status?"
"Me and Spades have finally made it to the point, and you're
right, we have eyes on the camp."
"What do you see?"
"I have eyes on about 12 soldiers, they all have pretty standard
gear. AK's, RPG's, I think I see a sniper or two in there. Looks
like a scouting party perhaps?"
"Maybe. I also have eyes on ammo crates and some trucks nearby."
"What are they doing with them?"
"From the looks of it, they're loading them on. If I had to
guess, they're loading them up and driving off in the morning to
who knows where. The rest of them are either eating or
sleeping."
"They got a fire and a hut or two set up as well. I wonder how
long they've been there."
"Who knows? Anyways, HQ wants you to hold position until morning
and then follow them to wherever they're going, then report
back."
"Roger that Stereo. Spades, might want to get comfortable, this
is going to be a long night."
"Well said sir, we'll contact you if something comes up. Spades
out."
*Roughly 5 hours of radio silence*
"This is Stereo to Deck 1 and Deck 6, do you copy?"
"Morning Stereo, Spades reporting. Blackjack's taking a nap."
" I see, any progress on last night?"
"Nothing much, loading up, eating, sleeping, a bit of planning
and shouting. It looks like they're going to be leaving soon."
"Alright, be ready to follow them."
"Roger that, lieutenant? Wanna get up?"
"Yeah yeah Spades, I'm up."
"Alright, good. Looks like sun's gonna rise any min- wait, what
is that?"
"What's what Spades?"
"THAT that."
"Huh, what is that?"
"What's what you guys? What do you see?"
"Its like a fog of some kind. I black fog."
"That makes no sense, there can't be any fog, black or not!"
"Well, I don't know what else to tell you."
"Do you see anything else?"
"Nothing much, just the fog is getting closer to the camp."
"Looks like the fighters have noticed as well."
"How are they reacting?"
"Definitely confused, some are a bit curious, speaking orders to
each other. Some of them are pulling out their weapons."
"Some of them are also edging closer to the fog"
"Alright keep me posted."
"Roger- wait, I see something!"
"What is it?"
"I see it too, there's four figures coming out of the fog!"
"What do they look like?"
"I can't tell from here, but there's an aura surrounding each of
them. Black, White, Red and Green."
"They also look like ponies- no, horses."
"Wait up guys, four horses, different colored aura surrounding
them... What weapons are they carrying?"
"How did you know they have weapons?"
"Doesn't matter, just answer!"
"Ok ok, the horse in red is carrying a massive war sword, the
white one is carrying a war bow, the black one is carrying an
old pair of scales, and the green one is carrying a black
sickle."
"Oh dear Celestia, its true. The legends are true. You two need
to get out of there now!"
"Why? Whats wrong-"
"Oh Celestia!"
"What happened?!?"
"The Four are attacking the camp! They're slaying the fighters
left and right! Its a massacre!"
"Get out now you two!"
"Oh Celestia have mercy on them..."
"Oh god! He just cut him in half!"
"Seriously, get out right now!"
"I can't hear you! Its chaos!"
"GET OUT NOW!"
"Why!? Whats wrong!?"
"Its them! Its the four-"
"Oh god! They see us!"
"Run for it! Tell the base its not saf- *static*"
"Spades? Blackjack? Respond! Are you ok!?"
*static*
"Oh god, its them... I never thought it was true. The Four
Horses of the Apocalypse are real..."

Forest
Ponies of Interest: Sgt. 'Runner', Cpl. 'Lightning', Pvt.
'Tracker' and Pvt. 'Ranger' of Recon Team 'Pathfinder', Intel
Unit of the Equinox Ponyville Division
Occurrence: 'Mysterious Event'
Summary: Sgt. 'Runner', Cpl. 'Lightning', Pvt. 'Tracker' and
Pvt. 'Ranger' of Recon Team 'Pathfinder' were all on a routine
patrol on the South - South Western border and quadrants of the
Everfree Forest. During the mission, they encountered a strange
pair of doors, before they were attacked. They later reported
that the 'thing' that attacked them had escaped, heading north,
and that it had killed Cpl. 'Lightning' in the attack. The thing
that had attacked them has not yet been located, but it is
though that it is somewhere on the north western borders of the
Everfree Forest, close to Ponyville.
[center]=======[/center]
"All Units, check in."
"Lightning, checking in."
"Tracker, checking in."
"Ranger, checking in."
"All units good. You all know what we need to do correct?"
"Yessir, patrol this quadrant of the Everfree Forest for any
potential threats."
"Thank you Tracker."
"Kiss ass..."
"You wanna say that to my face Ranger?"
'I'm kidding, I'm kidding! Its just you kinda act like a kiss
ass."
"It's like you're asking for a fight Ranger. Seriously."
"All due respect Lightning, shut up."
"That's something I hate about that term, they say 'all due
respect', then they say something disrespectful or rude, like
what the hell is with that?"
"Don't ask me, I didn't come up with that term."
"Apparently its used as a polite formula preceding, and intended
to mitigate the effect of, an expression of disagreement."
"Like I said, kiss ass."
"One, I'm pretty sure its smart ass, and two, at least I'm not a
lazy jackass like you."
"You're still an ass either way."
"Damn..."
"Quiet you three!"
"Yes sir..."
"Yes sir, sorry sir!"
"*sigh*"
*Roughly 2 hours of unimportant radio chatter*
"Oh Celestia let this be over soon..."
"What's wrong Ranger? Getting tired?"
"Yeah, tired of you."
"Seriously you two, cut it out."
"Quiet Lightning, I have every right to- what the hell is that?"
"What's what sir?"
"THAT, Private."
"Huh, what is that?"
"Its a pair of large doors."
"Thank you Captain Obvious."
"No problem Lieutenant Sarcasm."
"Seriously you two, cut it out, this is serious."
"With all due respect, I don't see how a pair of doors is that
serious."
"Again with that phrase. But seriously, how often do you see a
large black pair of doors, held in place with black chains."
"Fair point. How did it even get here? Where is it from?"
"Who knows. Sergeant, we should go back and report this to
base."
"Alright, lets-"
"Look, something is coming out of the door!"
"What is it?"
"Its some kind of hooded figure, and a dog of some kind..."
"Its spewing magma, I don't think dogs do that."
"Dogs don't, but hellhounds do, or Tefelhunden."
"How is it that you know all of this stuff?"
"Quiet!"
"...Go, kill those four, then move to Ponyville."
"*bark!*"
"Oh Celestia, that thing is coming for us!"
"Hold steady, it doesn't look like its going to attack us."
"Its master just said to kill us, I think its going to-"
"GET DOWN!"
"*woosh!* *BOOM!*"
"Oh Celestia, that thing just spewed fire at us!"
"Fire fire fire!!!"
"*gunshots*"
"Its not doing anything!"
"Oh Celestia its charging!"
"Lightning! Look out!"
"AAAAARRGGHH!!!!"
"Oh s***! What's it doing now!?!?"
"That thing is going to st-"
"*boom!* *crack!*"
*Roughly 3 hours of radio silence*
"Ugh, what the hell happened?"
"I don't know sir."
"Oh great, the kiss ass is still alive."
"What was that thing?"
"I-I'm pretty sure we were just imagining things, that's all"
"I think you're wrong about that Ranger, look."
"Holy mother... It just burnt through the Everfree Wood when it
left... And these cracks, it must of been from when we all got
knocked out."
"If you still don't believe me Ranger, come look at this."
"What is- Oh f***!"
"Yep, its Lightning's body, or what remains of it."
"We really need to get out of here, report this to base. It
isn't safe here."
"For once I agree with Tracker."
"It never was safe here..."

[center]Monsters of the Deep Event[/center]
Content: Radio Transmission Transcript
Location: South Luna Ocean, 200 km South West of Los Pegasus
Ponies of Interest: CW3 'Blaze' and CW4 'Jet', pilots of the
V-22 Osprey 'Leviathan 1-3', PO 'Riptide' of HMES 'Cyclone'
Occurrence: 'Monstrous Appearance'
Summary: Two days prior to this incident, S.S. Blueblood, a
transport ship filled with relief aid for the Civil War was
making its way to Saddle Arabia when it mysteriously lost radio
contact in the South Luna Sea. Equinox and Equestrian Government
sent out one of their newest patrol boats in their navy, the
HMES 'Cyclone', and their newest experimental helicopter, a V-22
Osprey with the callsign 'Leviathan 1-3' to search for the ship.
The S.S. Blueblood's last message was cryptic, with it being
sent out by morse, translating as 'We Rise'. Upon arriving at
their last known position, both HMES 'Cyclone' and 'Leviathan
1-3' encountering a large creature rising from the deep,
surrounded by storm, before the creature destroys 'Cyclone' and
severely damages 'Leviathan 1-3'. All hoofs on the S.S.
Blueblood and the HMES 'Cyclone' were later reported to be lost.
[center]=======[/center]
*Roughly 3 hours of unimportant radio chatter*
"'Cyclone' to 'Leviathan 1-3, check in."
'''Leviathan 1-3 checking in, this is Blaze, who is it I'm
speaking to?"
"This is Riptide of HMES 'Cyclone'."
"Thank you Riptide, we're just about there. Can you see anything
down there?"
"Unfortunately we can't see much. Rough seas, stormy skies, a
bit of a fog doesn't help. How're you holding up up there?"
"Alright, a bit wet and rocky, nothing too bad. Let us know if
you can find anything."
"I'm on the deck of this tiny ship, it'd be hard for me to miss-
hang on, I see something."
"What is it?"
"Hunks of metal, pretty large ones too. Oil spills, there's
quite a lot. Those environmentalists are gonna be pissed."
"Sounds like our ship. It sounds like it's destroyed, but what
could destroy a transport ship like that? Storms? Some undersea
creature?"
"Have a bit of respect for the dead Blaze"
"Yeah yeah Jet. You see anything else Riptide?"
"Nothing ye- oh Celestia..."
"What now?"
"Bodies of the crew. They didn't make it..."
"Ah crap. I guess we should've seen it co-"
"Wait, a survivor! Come over here!"
"Holy crap, there was a survivor..."
"Are you ok?"
*gasp* "Get away! It's coming!"
"What's coming?"
"I come... I hunger... I rise...!"
"What the hell..."
"Sir, what's wrong!?"
"The deaths of the ponies on that ship were not enough to
satisfy me... You are all next..."
"What're you- AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHhhhhhhh....... *thud!*"
"Riptide!? Riptide respond!"
"Blaze, look over there!"
"Look at- oh f*** me what is that!?"
"Puny ponies... You fail to realize who I am...? It matters
not... for you shall all die... but remember the name...
Cthulhu!!"
"Cthulhu? You mean the legendary creature of the deep!?"
"That Cthulhu... it's rising up!"
"I can only just see it, its massive scaly body, its tentacled
face, its gargantuan wings... dear Celestia, and it doesn't even
look as though it is at full size!"
"Why is it raising its tentacles? Oh god, Cyclone- *boom!*"
"We gotta go! Now!"
"I'm putting a Gatling gun through its disgusting body, die!"
"*gunfire* *ROAR!!!*"
"We gotta go- *boom*"
"Oh f***! Engine 2 is down, engine 1 is failing! We need to
leave!"
"Oh f*** me..."
