No, Doc. No!

"Here, hurry up! Bring a rope!"

"The heck of ropes, dumbass. We need a ladder."

"There's no way we squeeze a ladder into it!"

"I'd show you what squeezed into what place. Not in front of the kids."

"Stop it, both of you! There was a pegasus over the town, so call him, quickly!"

"Did you see him?"

"Yes. He asked me to show them sunlight."

"They've already seen sunlight. They're seeing it now. And I thank you for that."

"Did you—"

"Sleep, filly. You have done everything you can. Oh, and the last thing. The entrance is down under?"

"Yes... I opened it. There are lots of dead ponies... a lot of lots..."

"I know. You found the entrance. I'll take care of the rest."

I had a strange dream. I was sitting on the top of the highest mountain in New Equestria and eating a cupcake. And I did not want to shout any bad words. How odd. According to all rules, I must had have epic dreams after such adventures. But I had a dream about a cupcake. And this cupcake was delicious.

"Firefly, right?"

"Yes."

"That flashlight of yours. Where did you get it?"

"It was a gift..."

"No. It just opened."

"Uh-huh."

"Why so grumpy? It's supposed to be a holiday for you."

"What?"

"Ah. You don't know yet. Well, it's even better this way. I like surprises."

"I don't."

"You'll have to. In our work you won't make a step without finding one."

"Our work?"

"Yeah, our work. Your papers will be ready in New Canterlot tomorrow. And the day after, you're flying with me to meet with... Let's say, it's better to keep in secret for now."

"Are you kidding me? I don't even have a cutie mark! What kind of work you're talking about? What papers?"

"See you tomorrow, Firefly. Who came up with such a name for you? Tee-hee. But there's something in it."

The unicorn sat down in a strange flying vehicle which appeared to be able to fly itself, without a pegasus to pull it. The machine soared into the air and, with a howl, made it over the grove. I watched it fly away, and suddenly glimpsed a cutie mark on my flank. It was a flashlight, with a beam of light tearing the darkness.

Adult ponies always laughed when kids spun in place to get a better look at their new cutie marks. And right now one of such kids was me.

[i][right]— Restitution Department, Report #14235.899,
Cycle 176 after the Great Renewal.[/right]

[b]Firefly Case[/b]

During the verification of cartographic information removed from Stable Nineteen, a previously unknown network of Stables covering the area from Riverhooves to the old settlement of Littlehorn was discovered. A total of 34 formerly unknown Stables were identified.

As a result of research works, all 34 objects were found. Of these:

— 24 Stables: Completely destroyed or looted in the days before the Great Renewal. All found objects were filed and destroyed.

— 5 Stables: Sealed since the moment of closing. The attempts to establish contact with the inhabitants failed.

The actions were carried out in accordance with Standard Protocol #2.

As a result of research activities at these sites, 198 aggressive ghouls were destroyed. 157 non-aggressive ghouls were voluntarily brought to the surface. Of these, 27 instantly died for unexplained reasons. (A special investigation is under way.)

Four staff members of the Department were slightly injured, one staff member was seriously injured and one staff member was killed.

— 3 Stables: Sealed since the moment of closing. The attempts to establish contact with the inhabitants succeeded.

The actions were carried out in accordance with Standard Protocol #3.

As a result of research activities at these sites, 29 light security robots, 2 heavy security robots and 18 stationary weapons turrets were destroyed. 117 non-aggressive ghouls, 670 earth ponies, 130 unicorns and 56 pegasi were voluntarily brought to the surface. They all were sent to undergo a rehabilitation course in accordance with the standard protocol. 25 earth ponies and 2 unicorns were forcibly brought to the surface. It is not possible to apply standard procedures to these subjects because of the extreme inadequacy of their behaviour. They will be taken to special rehabilitation centres to undergo compulsory treatment.

Four staff members of the Department died (by drinking unpurified Sparkle-Cola from vending machines in a Stable on a bet).

— 2 Stables: Sealed since the moment of closing. There is a very powerful perimeter protection. It is not possible to establish contact with the inhabitants.

The question of neutralization of the security perimeters with the help of tactical spells is considered.

One member of the Department were slightly injured. (Staff psychologist Little Heart confused the sound produced by a light turret with the sound produced by rabbits, and went to feed it. Quote, "I wanted to make friends with a rabbit.")

The end of the report. Additional data will be provided upon request.[/i]
