"Fluffy Research" 1/?

>You are Dylan, a freelance researcher, mid 20’s, brown hair, lazy attitude and you’re a complete nerd.

>You just got hired by the WWF to study a new type of “animal” that's becoming a problem worldwide.

>They call it a "Fluffy pony"

>You've never heard of such a thing and took the case out of curiosity.

>Man was that a stupid idea, you had no idea working with them would be this hard.

>You had a small group of them locked up in a lab, but they kept on nagging, complaining and dying all the time.

>One of them even managed to free itself from the steel cage and drown in the sink 12 feet away.

> You simply gave up, gave them to a local shelter and began anew, but this time you had to think of a new way to study them.

>The ones living with Humans weren't really a problem; it was the feral herds you read about in the notes the WWF gave you.

>Apparently they were a huge nuisance for farmers, devastating crops, attacking the cattle or clogging the farmers watering systems.

>They were also a problem for local cities.

>The problem is that the ones you have in captivity don’t behave as you’d like.

>Some of them were ferals, but once they were brought inside they just stopped doing anything.

>No matter what you did to them, they’d just stand there, asking where they were, where their “Speciaw fwends” or where their herd was.

>Some of them even started asking you to be their “daddy”

>You couldn’t get any work done this way; you had to study them up close to really find what makes them “tick”, so to speak.

>After weeks of thinking you finally came up with a plan, its genius really.

>You quickly showed it to your “bosses” in the WWF, they seem hesitant at first, but once you explain to them that this is the only way you’re ever going to get under the fluffies skin, they reluctantly agreed.

>You quickly receive all the cash you need, dang they sure work fast over there.

>The first thing you needed was a remote national park somewhere, with few humans visiting each month.

>After some looking you find one that kind of fits; Yellowstone national park.

>It’s not as quiet as you’d hoped, but you managed to find a remote part of the park where no humans really venture.

>It’s a small canyon, with rocky outcrops scattered about the tree covered ground, walking about you  stumble upon a rather large clearing in the middle of it all, grass swaying in the wind. It’s the perfect spot for your experiment.

>You call in the builders and Fluffy controllers and get to work.

>Some trees off to the end of the clearing are cut down to make room for your research station, they then dig a rather large hole with a tunnel sticking out of it going south, before they start to build the station.

>The whole station is about 25ish square meters, shaped as a large stone outcrop, making it blend into the terrain perfectly.

>In the middle of it you’ve made a very light slope up to a fake cave of sorts. It’s large enough to fit about 35 feral Fluffies including dams and foals. The cave floor is kept at a perfect temperature by a heating/cooling system, the floor also has a special hole for the dams that might arrive. The hole is kept at a more stable temperature and the flooring is softer than the rest of the cave.

>At the end of the cave you had a small spring installed. It’s made so that no fluffy can drown in it, but at the same time, it’ll never run out of water keeping any herd inside stocked up on water.

>The cave is also filled with secret peeking holes, hatches, HD webcams and one way mirrors so you can examine any herd living inside without them seeing you.

>It’s basically irresistible to any feral herd that might stumble upon it.

>With the station complete, you begin setting up shop inside.

>You have a lot to do before you’re ready to “accommodate” any herd, no matter the size.

>After two days of hard work, the cave is almost complete, the only thing missing is some top secret science stuff the WWF told you to test out here.

>You wonder what it might be; we’re talking about the WWF here, animal hug boxers of the top sort, so it can’t be anything dangerous.

>Lost in thought, you almost miss the delivery arriving at your door; you quickly get up and fetch the package.

>You place it on your research desk and open it slowly, you’re greeted by 3 cages and a letter addressed to you.

>” Mr. Dylan Dietrichsen

we here at Michigan Biological were thrilled to hear about your recent efforts with the WWF.

We discussed this at one of our meetings and reached the conclusion that we might be able to help you in this matter.

We might not have any scientists to hand out for free, but we remembered these experiments and had them shipped to you ASAP.

The three crates you see in front of you contain 3 special fluffy ponies; these hairballs have been specially bred and engineered to assist any scientist studying fluffies.

Their brains are the same size, but we added a small chip inside, this chip makes them act like a robot when the secret password is spoken.

When you say the password, they’ll freeze up and await instructions from you, when you’re done giving them their orders, just say the password again to confirm.

Be warned! They won’t do anything until you give them orders!

They’ll follow their new orders to the letter, but at the same time they won’t behave any different from other fluffies!

 

The password is: “Ghostbusters”

If you have any questions, just call us and we’ll help.

The number is: 5554698542

 

Sincerely, Richard, CEO of Michigan Biological.”

>You look at the box with an uncertain look; these fluffies were bred to be robots?

Man that’s got to suck, but on the other hand, having such fluffies could prove very helpful.
