  1. >You are an MQ-9 Reaper.
  2. >Currently, you are lazily flying around over...
  3. >Your navigation systems say this is 'Ohio City, Cleveland, Ohio', generally speaking.
  4. >Specifically, you are over Monroe Cemetery, on Monroe Avenue.
  5. >Your pilot, who is many miles away flying you, commands your camera to look down.
  6. >The cemetery is filled with multicolored fluffy things.
  7. >You don't know what they are.
  8. >Not that you are capable of the concept of unawareness, as you are not an AI.
  9. >There are things on your wings.
  10. >The pilot commands you to drop one.
  11. >You do this, because you are a good UCAV.
  12. >Not that the concept of obedience is something you can acknowledge.
  13. >The pilot then orders you to circle this area, aiming your TV cameras at the ground.
  14. >The thing you just dropped, a long, narrow tube, hits the ground.
  15. >It explodes with a great bloom of white heat that saturates your IR sensors.
  16. >The fuzzy things on the ground scatter slowly.
  17. >Many of them now have greatly increased heat signatures.
  18. >They waddle into other fuzzy things and spread their heat around.
  19. >In a few minutes, it seems like the entire surface directly below you is on fire.
  20. >The heat begins to spread to the trees in the cemetery.
  21. >After a few minutes more, it spreads to the structures across the street.
  22. >If you were capable of consciousness and deductive reasoning, you'd be pretty sure this is not supposed to be happening.
  23. ------
  24. >You are the guy piloting the MQ-9, and your services are in high demand since the fluffy ponies knocked down that C-17.
  25. >You dropped something called the Clean Lightweight Area Weapon on the fluffy ponies occupying the cemetery.
  26. >It's a device that's still technically in testing, but Cleveland is a great proving ground now.
  27. >The good news? It worked perfectly.
  28. >The whole cemetery was covered in cleansing explosive power.
  29. >The bad news? It caught some of them on fire.
  30. >You watched as the fluffy ponies hugged each other, spreading the flames.
  31. >When the trees caught on fire, you called over your commander to watch.
  32. >When the houses began catching on fire, you both realized there was a problem.
  33. >You direct the MQ-9 to follow the conflagration as it spreads toward St. Ignatius High School.
  34. >Not only are buildings going up, but so are more fluffy ponies.
  35. >The high school ignites.
  36. >You pass word along to First Air Force about the...situation.
  37. >Two F-15Cs from 120th Fighter Wing are nearby.
  38. >They report that they're loaded with CBU-87s.
  39. >You have an idea: what if they used their cluster bombs to snuff out the fire?
  40. >Hell, the Russians can do it for oil rigs.
  41. >The idea goes up the chain of command and comes back down with approval.
  42. >The Eagles are vectored toward the high school, and you position the MQ-9 out of their way with a good view of their drop zone.
  43. >You watch as the ordnance comes down, exploding and scattering sub-munitions.
  44. >Eight hundred puffs of heat riddle the flames. Most of them do go out.
  45. >Oh...fluffy ponies are flying through the air.
  46. >Fluffy ponies on fire. They pelt unburned vegetation and structures.
  47. >Well, that probably wasn't supposed to happen.
  48. ------
  49. >You are a blue male pegasus fluffy named Puffy.
  50. >You and thousands of your fluffy friends were heading toward Spaghetti Land.
  51. >Your owner was yelling at you not to go, but you didn't have much choice.
  52. >A big herd came by while you were outside playing, and you got swept away.
  53. >After hundreds of miles, you reached the human place where the spaghetti was supposed to be.
  54. >There were so many fluffy friends, however, you couldn't move!
  55. >Your herd decided to rest in a grassies place with lots of gray rocks and big trees.
  56. >There were lots of other wingie friends playing with you.
  57. >Even though you hadn't found the spaghetti yet, you were still happy.
  58. >It was your turn to help watch the baby fluffies when you heard the buzzy noise above you.
  59. “Puffy see fwy fwiend! Wan' gif huggies!”
  60. >All the wingie friends agreed with you, trying fly up to it.
  61. >Even the babies with wingies tried, chirping 'fwiend!'
  62. >None of you could reach it, which made you all sad.
  63. >Something fell off of it! It's giving you a present!
  64. “Yay! Fwiend gif goo' fwuffies sgettis!”
  65. >It didn't look like spaghetti, though. It was a tube thing.
  66. >The spaghetti is probably inside!
  67. >You wait for it to open as it falls.
  68. >It opened, but spaghetti didn't come out.
  69. >Fire and pain and suffering came out.
  70. >Now, you're running from the herd because they're engulfed in flames.
  71. “Nuuuuuu! Puffy no wike wawm!”
  72. >You once burned your hoof on the hot human nummies-maker circle.
  73. >It hurt you for a long time afterward. You know hot is bad.
  74. >You run past charred corpses and babies on fire, trying to get to the human houses across the grey path.
  75. >You'll be safe there.
  76. >Oh, the fluffies with the fire hugging them are hugging other fluffies without fire!
  77. >Now the fire is all over the place!
  78. >You keep running past human homes. You still hear the buzzy noise above you.
  79. >It's following you!
  80. “Fwy fwiend, pwease hewp goo' fwuffies!”
  81. >It doesn't seem to hear you, but it's still following you.
  82. >You finally get to a place that has a big human home.
  83. >The fluffies behind you run past you as you hide.
  84. >They're all on fire, screaming and making hurt poopies and crying.
  85. >You want to hug them, but you can't, because you don't want their fire.
  86. >The big human home is on fire now. You have to move.
  87. >Fluffies rush around you. You get swept up in the tide again.
  88. “Nuuu, Puffy wan' wun! Wingies hewp Puffy fwy 'way!”
  89. >After a while you hear the loudest noises ever.
  90. >They make all the poopies come out of you.
  91. >You briefly see two fly friends streak past at unfathomable speed.
  92. “Fas'! Fwy fwiend fas', hewp Puffy go fas'!”
  93. >More noises come, even louder than the last.
  94. >Pops and bangs and booms and fluffies are flying!
  95. >Even ones without wings are flying!
  96. “Wan' fwy! Wan' fwy 'way!”
  97. >You get your wish. An explosion sends you tumbling through the air.
  98. >Your back half is torn off, and the rest of your body is shattered.
  99. “No...no wan' owwies fwy...”
  100. >You land on a pile of fluffy friends that are burning. You, too, catch on fire.
  101. “No wike...no wike dis...”
  102. >All you wanted was spaghetti.
  103. >This was definitely not supposed to happen.
