As far as you know, these are traits held by all fluffies, but this one had felt... well... special. >Damnit. You can't get attached to your work like this. They are consumer products manufactured in mass quantities, and you are just discovering that you are an overqualified dissectionist. >But... well, a souvenir couldn't hurt... >From the kit you remove a narrow sample tube, and a sterile cotton swab. >Lifting the lid of the hazmat bin, you spy Dr. Dela Rosa's discarded bloody gloves. >Take a gentle swabbing of still wet blood, and drop it into the sample tube. >Seal and pocket. You'll get this into the freezer soon. >Perhaps you can have some fun at this job after all...   ---   >At lunctime, you quietly slip the sample tube into the employee's freezer. Because the only other things in there are a bag of succotash and something so heavily freezer burned that it might be either meat or a fudge-sickle with no stick, you think it'll be safe there. >The rest of the day passes: you have to take part in the dissection of two more ponies; one with an abnormally sharp horn, and one with a fifth leg. >Polymelia is a hell of a defect. >The boss lets you actually handle the knife for the last one, and you don't mess it up too badly. >You've started to pick up on your actual duties now: >Remove aggressive, defective, and abnormal Fluffies from the population before they can breed and spread their mutant genes. >Burn the witch, abhor the mutants, purge the xenos, etc. >You report a sixth pony for dissection, it appears to have a severe case of strabismus. >"Is it's coat grey, with a blonde mane?" "How did you know? Are you a wizard?" >"Yeah, that color combination seems to have a predilection for wall-eye. Let it pass. They breed clean and aren't any risk for kids." >Whatever the boss wants. >You finish the cage cleaning / Fluffy screening with only a few minutes left in the day. >Your boss apparently nipped out early, so you don't know if there are any other procedures for the day. >Taking your Green-level security pass, you make your way back to the employee's kitchen. >And run headlong into a security guard with a plate full of succotash. CRASH!
