Gender: Female
Age: Child
Voice Tone: High
Appearance: A purple filly with a green mane and yellow eyes. Her cutie mark is a notebook and a pencil
Personality: Clever and patient
Significance: Major Role(244 Lines)
Just because I was the editor for our academy’s paper doesn’t mean I understand everything, Corona.
We’ve got a door, and then fate beyond it. We could jump in dressed up as clowns and it wouldn’t make much difference, I suspect. I’d rather die with dignity.
Who does it make you to judge our mistakes when they simply mirror your own?”
Gender: Male
Age: Child
Voice Tone: High
Appearance: An orange colt with a green mane.
Personality: He's quick and athletic, but also a bit clumsy. He sometimes acts without thinking and expresses outrage towards the factory and its workers.
Significance: Major Role(203 Lines)
So, Cloud, seeing as there’s no way to surprise them by going in there, think there’s any sort of fashion we could bumble in? Maybe be so silly it surprises them?
If you’re asking if I did this, you got the wrong- DUCK! Whoah, Cloud, check that out. What is it? Like... some sort of vat you see in those alien movies!
Hey, uh, I’m... I’m sorry? I didn’t mean to ki- oh sweet Luna, I’ve killed a pony...But... he’s one of you guys! You’ve all taken part in this! We’ve got to take you down. You deserve this!
Gender: Female
Age: Adult
Voice Tone: Medium-Low
Appearance: A green mare with a short pink mane and purple eyes.
Personality: Timid but tries to act confident. She slowly gains confidence throughout the story and eventually goes completely insane.
Significance: Major Role(163 Lines)
That’s impossible! That’s... There’s no way! Cloudsdale would have noticed! Celestia would have noticed all the missing ponies!
What have I done with my life... Where am I? How did I even end up in this mess?
[Losing her mind] Broken. Everything broken. Broken leg, broken wings, broken mind. Fix fix fix lah de lah de dah. Hahahaha, Gauge! Gouge. Gauge’s gouged. Gosh. Ahahaha! It's just so funny because I think now I'm broken too. Ahahaha!
Gender: Male
Age: Adult
Voice Tone: Medium-Low
Appearance: A red stallion with a grey mane.
Personality: Gauge refers to him as a soft heart locked in a safe of bloodlust.
Significance: Major Role(156 Lines)
I’m telling you, Rainbow, I need more engineers. We can’t continue to keep this facility up and running with the skeleton crew you’ve provided us!
To the failures who are most certainly tainting my flawless control room. I would like to first of all, despite how much it pains me, congratulate you! You slipped past all of our state-of-the-art security systems, a horde of bloodthirsty drones, and have managed to cause confusion and, well, just overall done terribly naughty things to our poor, poor facility. It’s been twenty years since this last occurred and, frankly, I was in need of some good entertainment around here. Ahahahaha!
Enough ponies have died for the sake of this facility, Rainbow. That was one too many. Don’t you agree? Can’t you see it now? The pain that death causes? The pain we no longer need to utilize to work?
Gender: Male
Age: Adult
Voice Tone: Medium
Appearance: A brown stallion with a blonde mane.
Significance: Major Role(126 Lines)
Damn shame his sense of humor is so broken. He’s the only one of us here qualified to fix the coffee machine.
[Upset]We’re all that stand in the way! Those... oh, Luna, those failures... The damage they would do if they made it out there would be irreparable and create an enemy impossible to crush. So we must retaliate pre-emptively, and even though it’s awful, and horrible, and against the very concept of what keeps us Equine, we must do it, for the end justifies the means, and the end will always justify the means, no matter how soul crushing and... And awful, and... evil we must be to…
[Weakly]Can’t fall. Can’t fall. Falling…Falling... is not... the same as... flying.
Gender: Female
Age: Adult
Voice Tone: Medium
Appearance: A turquoise mare with a rainbow mane and magenta eyes.
Personality: She was always known to be tomboyish, confident and athletic, but now she's mostly just irritant, stressed and kind of dark.
Significance: Major Role(112 Lines)
Any final words, you miserable, worthless whore of a foal?
okay, so maybe I’m panicking a little here and have no idea how I’m going to get those little cow-pies into this flipping machine without chancing that myself or you go the way of Gauge or Gentle. Maybe all I know is that the Corporation is in trouble and I have to help it. Maybe I don’t know what to do.
I killed you! You’re dead! I killed the failure that let me down! I know it, I remember it so clearly... How can you be alive?
Gender: Female
Age: Young Adult
Voice Tone: Medium-High
Appearance: An orange mare with a purple mane
Personality: Despite being fully grown now, she seems like a child.
Significance: Supporting Role(75 Lines)
[Unstable]NO! NO, DASH, NO! I’M SORRY! I DIDN’T TRY TO FAIL YOU! I’LL GET BETTER! I’LL BE BETTER FOR YOU, RAINBOW DASH! STOP! LET GO OF ME! LEAVE ME ALONE, I’M SORRY! NO, NO NO NO NO! AAAAAAAAUUUUUUUGHHHH!
Dash and I... we used to be close. Not like, fillyfriends or stuff. Like family. More of a family than most Pegasi have, you know? I used to look up to her, and wanted nothing more than for her to notice me...Just to be noticed…
Rainbow Dash, I am two ponies. I am the failure that you wanted to kill, and your sister that you could never harm. And I am here to take both of those away from you.
Gender: Male
Age: Adult
Voice Tone: Medium-High
Description: A blue pegasus stallion with green eyes
Personality: He appears to be completely insane for most of the story. He acts as if he's totally detached from reality, but near the end of the story, he suddenly snaps back to reality and acts a bit more serious.
Significance: Supporting Role(60 Lines)
[Insane]Heheheh. Pipe Wench. Hehehehe. Wench. Wenchy wenchy wench. More like Gripe Wrench. Hah! Ahaha.
It’s really quite funny when you look at it. Hehehe. Hah... Ehm... Sorry. Old habits die hard. But honest, it is! You bring something sharp into an equine’s brains and you can just see the life drain out of their eyes. Sounds awful, of course, because it is. But that’s where the humor comes in! Nature makes it so easy to murder one another and then abhors the act of doing so.
Hurts to lose someone you love, doesn’t it?” How does it make you feel to realize that we’re all Equines here, ponies with loves and lives, stories of our own? What does that make you?
Gender: Male
Age: Child-Teen
Voice Tone: Medium-High
About: He's one of the caged ponies that Cloud Cover and Corona came across in the power room.
Significance: Supporting Role(31 Lines)
Are... are you two okay? You’re outside the cage. How’d you do that? Are you new? Did you escape? Or did they send you here?
You made it! And you found the ghost! Excellent day, a wonderful day indeed. Yes. Good. Alright. What now?
I have no hopes nor desire to reach any elevator! I must ins--[a pony attacks him] get off!--I must insist, off you go. I was quite metaphorical when I expressed we’d all attain peace tonight.
Gender: Male
Age: Elderly
Voice Tone: Medium-Low (Talks funny due to a mouth injury)
Personality: He's a bit of a strange pony but claims to be more sane than the other factory workers.
Significance: Supporting Role(29 Lines)
Stop ‘t. Make fun o’ m’ name one more time an y’ll be part o’a real contrail, go’ it?
Wh’t in th’ T’r’t’rus ya goin’ on ‘bout?!
One of these days I’m going to clip those wings of his. Crazy idiot.
Gender: Male
Age: Child
About: One of the caged ponies who Corona and Cloud Cover come across in the power room. He's good at Video games.
Significance: Minor Role(19 Lines)
I uh, I played a lot of video games.
Ah, feathersticks. This is going to be harder than I thought. Any ideas, Cloud?
I’ve tried everything but each one except maintenance require a password. Entering anything not in the list, and it just complains.
Gender: Female
Age: Teen
Voice Tone: High-Medium
About: Teenage Gentle. Apears in a flashback
Significance: Minor Role(14 Lines)
I have trotted around this city a million times and there is always more to see than your Flocking Corporation! I don’t care if the pay is minor compared to a factory employee! I refuse to sacrifice my freedom of creativity for a few extra bits a month.
It’s so impractical! You spend half your time cooking just moving from one end to the other. With a little change, you could make this room really efficient.
Gender: Male
Age: Adult
Voice Tone: Low-Medium
About: Apears in a flashback
Significance: Minor Role(14 Lines)
Cloudsdale Weather has done nothing but good for this family! It feeds us. It feeds you. It gives you the dresses you wear when you go out with your friends on special nights. It gives you the comfort and safety of this house from the storms and rain it makes. It keeps the whole country running, Gentle! I will not hear foul words about my workplace from you again, do you understand?
Blasted child! Only focused on her imagination, and not on surviving happily. A nice hard cider, I think. There’s no changing that stubborn filly’s mind.
Gender: Male
Age: Adult
Voice Tone: Medium-Low
Significance: Minor Role(10 Lines)
What do you mean, escaped foals? That’s impossible. They’ve got the whole poison setup upstairs, there’s not a chance any of them could even get down here.
You think so? Snow Crystal said she spooked one? Well, I’ve never seen her lie yet, so I guess I’m inclined to believe you. Check on the power room, then; make sure there are no security breaches there. Celestia knows we’d hate to have anypony steal those corporate secrets.
Oh, I don’t know. Maul them, I guess. I’ll go back to the Administration Connection Room and see if they’ve sent us a message.
Gender: Male Or Female
Voice Tone: Any (Robotic or digital sounding voice)
Personality: A surprisingly sassy computer system
Significance: Minor Role(10 Lines)
Don’t give me that snark, you failure! Yes, I can see you. What is it you idiots want?
Well, that I can do for you. Not because I’m doing it for you, it’s because it’s so incredibly simple and it’ll be hilarious to watch you two bumble around with options that won’t do anything. I’ve alerted upstairs that you’re here, by the way.
Well, I suppose that’s nothing serious. A defragmentation can only hellllllllllllllllllll-
Gender: Male
Age: Child-Teen
Voice Tone: Medium
Personality: Untrusting and weary
Significance: Minor Role(8 Lines)
Don’t tell’em, Snowflake! They’re obviously a trap designed to find out who knows the most! It’s a test, buddy!
One day you’ll pay for your crimes, you scoundrels!
Take the escapees! We’re already captured! Take them, not one of us! Just look behind the cord, you’ll see! *screams*
Gender: Female
Age: Adult
Significance: Minor Role(5 Lines)
Two of the foals have escaped. They managed to make it out through one of the air exchange vents for the old factory. There’s no catalyst distributors down there, so we haven’t been able to terminate the rouge resources. What... what do you advise?
D-D-D-Dash? Are you mad?
Yes sir, Doctor Atmosphere!
Gender: Female
Age: Adult
Significance: Minor Role(4 Lines)
Why is it tarped? I am certain my orders, that no section of this facility remain sealed or covered during inspection, were clear.

Age: Adult
Significance: Extra(2 Lines Each)
We have a complete rupture of the primary line and the secondary line is being utilized to divert water pressure off that valve! What more do you want from us?
Short of completely switching over the water lines with the liquid thunder lines, we’re going to have to knock those crystal generators out. It’ll be a big mess, but not as big as this if we don’t get it fixed.
Gender: Female
Age: Child
Personality: A somewhat sassy filly.
About: Was one of the caged ponies that Corona and Cloud Cover came across in the power room.
Significance: Extra(2 Lines)
Hold up, this isn’t Applewood! Just because we’re kids doesn’t mean we’re ‘hip’ and know how to hack.
Well it’s probably password protected. We can’t just reprogram it. I enrolled in flight school, not a technical institute.
Gender: Female
Age: Adult
Voice Tone: Any
Significance: Extra(2 Lines)
Ya think just cause that crazy coward runs away you’ve won? I got news for ya, colt, yer gonna die.

...Canterlot officials have not yet released anything concrete, stating only that discussion on reparations will be top priority. In the meantime, CWKN News will be returning to the press release from Cloudsdale Weather earlier this morning.
The Corporation also announced today, in rather technical detail, a new system of harvesting spectra via a new sort of blood drives. They discussed the various technological blocks, as well as advancements they had made, over the last couple eons in development of the system.
