🕑 Added 2018-10-05 23:00:03 +0000 UTC While Luna and Phoenix cleaned up from their bonding experience Are you two done having fun in my Equestria dreamscape someone else was partings ways with a particular pony.
Queen Chrysalis wandered into prisoner and specimen holding chamber of the hive. Slowly she sauntered amongst the rows of jewel-like chambers that held various beings. Ponies were not the only creatures that changelings could, mimic, imitate, and exploit. Her hive had captured griffins, bison, and even a relatively young drake that her specialist studied and experimented on while she and her senior staff interrogated others. In a few special cases captives were experimented and interrogated. It was one of those cases that the queen came to a stop in front of.
Purple Marten hung upside down in confinement chamber as she had for the last year and a half. She didn't acknowledge the queen's arrival, but these days she didn't acknowledge much of anything. When Chrysalis and her hive awoke from their thousand plus year hibernation brought on by the Deep Freeze they'd been stunned by how far the ponies had advanced in the fields of magic, science, and medicine. It was these advancements that had made Chrysalis decide the path that her subjects were now following.
However the changelings were perfectly willing to take advantage of the knowledge that ponies had created. Particularly when it came to using new medicines and materials in the extraction of thoughts, memories, images from the minds of specimens and prisoners. After some trial and error, and quite a few dead specimens, they'd come up with process of extracting every ounce of information they could from especially a pony. Unfortunately the process was kind of slow and it left the specimen utterly broken mentally, but since they were almost always disposed of after interrogation Chrysalis didn't see that as a problem.
Purple Marten had been one of first prisoners to have successfully undergone these new interrogation techniques. Attached to her confinement chambers were various holders for which potions and medicines could introduced into her bloodstream. Scabbed onto the side of the chamber was a panel with several dials that were magically linked to amulets that the unicorn in the chamber wore. They monitored her heart rate, rough neural activity, and general respiratory functions.
Chrysalis stared at the unicorn for a moment then her horn glowed and she reached out for Purple Marten's mind. What little there was of it these days. After a few seconds there was a faint acknowledgement as the unicorn regained a small bit of lucidity. With this link established the queen spoke.
"Hello there dear. I wanted to let you know that our plans are progressing very nicely thanks to they information you have provided." The queen snickered. "In fact your knowledge has been critical to the success of this campaign."
The pale mauve unicorn stared drearily at the changeling as if trying to remember who or what she was. The Chrysalis pressed on with her monologue.
"But I fear that we must part ways now, but before that happened I wanted to thank you for your assistance. Now lets wrap things up shall we?"
Chrysalis reached out with her levitation and lifted a large medical syringe from it's holder on the side of the confinement chamber. Yes, advances and research into medicine by ponies had been very useful for her and subjects. She inserted the syringe into a bottle of saline solution and drew some of it up into the syringe. She really didn't care how much she withdrew. The queen then inserted the syringe into a glass attachment that allowed direct injections into the mare's bloodstream. She looked at the mare one more time then depressed the plunger injecting the solution along with 6 large and about a dozen smaller air bubbles into a tube that was hooked into the mare's neck. Then she returned the syringe to its holder and proceeded to watch.
It didn't take a long. A few seconds later Purple Marten started convulsing inside the chamber and the needles on he dials of the monitoring panel started swinging wildly. A few seconds an alert bell started chiming. The queen ignored it.
The unicorn's eyes went wide and she looked at the queen. Chrysalis leaned forward and watched. "Goodbye." She said.
The queen watched over the next few minutes as one by one the dials went flat. Satisfied with the results she went to find a worker to have them empty the chamber. The solid contents would be sent to processing and recycling. There it would be processed to create nourishment for her growing hive. Then she wandered off to tackle her next task. There was always another task to do.
To be continued.

A new hive god approaches!

This installment does not bode well for Kassandra the kestrel gryphon's fate once she was bird-napped by the changelings.

There is a reason why Trotter/Drone 992 was so terrified when he first met her.

She is everyone's enemy regardless of who or what they are. Even someone of the hive would find her deadly and ruthless. The only saving grace is people like her tend to die violent and well deserved deaths. But how many people will she take down with her?
Baron Engel
This is not a spoiler. It won't get any better for this dream arc.
Baron Engel
Yes the changelings and Chrysalis are much more bloody-minded in my dream arc.
Baron Engel
Stay tuned to find out.

She is very lacking in empathy toward anyone, or anything, that is not from the hive, and even then she only has empathy toward those that help maintain or strengthen the status quo. Which of course means reinforcing her position of power.

So this is the real Purple Martin, as opposed to the Bug trouble maker. Viewing the similarity of names, any relation to Purple Mountain? Brother , perhaps? Now that would be a plot complication! 'AXE

This is getting very dark. 'AXE

In your version of Equestria, Queeny Chrissy is truely EVIL. The only question that I have is, How much is Celestia aware of in reference to the Bugs?

Came here expecting a 'Thank you for the views' picture. Left unsettled and vaguely horrified. O.O
MishaFox
She is totally devoid of any redeeming features. A true monster.

Only silver lining I could think of. Its always hard to find such when it comes to the changelings. I attach myself to those small mercies in the dreamscape, for there are so few.
Baron Engel
Chrysalis is utterly ruthless and bloodyminded in this dream arc.
Baron Engel
Yeah if one wants to find a silver lining to this storm cloud.
Baron Engel
Well we knew changelings could assume the form of griffins when Trotter's changeling impersonated Kessandra and then another mimicked Rakorno.
Vet
Viciously done.
ColdSilverD
Rest In Peace. It is good that Purple Marten never realized what her capture did. It would have been horrible to die with that knowledge.

So much for the "only ponies" theories.
