| 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. | |

| [center]The Four Horses of the Apocalypse Incident[/center] | |
| 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. | |
| [center]=======[/center] | |
| "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..." | |

| 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..." | |
