A covert facility deep underground that is experimenting with and breeding unholy monsters for use in warfare.  This cannot end well.

Its kind of like Area 51, just with demons instead of aliens and dwarves instead of humans.

Until a screw pump overpressure disaster struck the Black Fortress Mining Facility, and Urist Stonebeard, once a mild-mannered Philosopher, was forced to battle his way through the abominations running loose throughout the facility, as well as the Human clean-up crew attempting to contain & purge the infestation.

At the end, he is contacted by the Demon and coerced into becoming one of his minions.

I'd like to see a quirky spinoff where a lone dwarf is testing magical doors that allow travel from one place to another without passing through the space between.

=Dwarven syrup roast= will be available at the dining room at the conclusion of testing.

     I've made a great discovery and advancement. One of the demons I have been training seems to be responding to my attack commands. To test this, we tied him up next to a caged goblin prisoner, and pulled a lever releasing it, but the demon completely ignored the goblin, who walked off. More testing shall be done in this area, but that was the last prisoner, so we have to wait until more enemies arrive.
     The other day, Queen Zuglar ordered the leading demon to be chained in her dining room. Of course, I had to drag him all the way down there to meet her foolish demands. Was she really interested in keeping it as a pet, or is there more? Is this just her sense of dominance over the underworld? She also mutters of eating them, wearing their hides and other malignant doings. Ah, pity the dwarf who is cursed with the job of butchering demons.
     So far, none of the demons have attacked a single dwarf, which is great, I suppose. As far as this breeding project goes, I am truly unsure of what will happen. Since we are amoung the first to observe demons so closely, and live to tell the tale, no one knows of their mating habits. Just by looking at these things, I can't tell if they're pregnant or just fat... but at least the males and females can be discerned fairly easily. On that note, we have built 10 breeding pens deep in the fortress, one for each female. Overall, further observation is necessary on their breeding habits, but frankly, I have no idea how long it may take.

Just interrupting for a moment, but I think you might have dismissed the idea of breeding the boss clowns a little too quickly. Aren't the clowns that sometimes rule goblin civs the same type as those found in HFS? I'm pretty sure (not certain) that it's possible to have the clowns leading goblin civs to siege you. With a bit of raw modding and luck, it might actually be possible to have a breeding pair.

[moki]

Nah... they are the same, but these clowns don't ever leave their homes. There's no way to see them in fortress mode, unless you embark right were they live. You'd need an underground circus, a worldgen clown /at his home with the gobbos), a massive amount of luck (to have male and female) and some modding to make them breed.

[Criptfeind]

even if you take off the no gender tag they will not have a gender if they were already genned, but it mite work if you took off the tag before you opened the pits, but if not they will not breed.

     Finally, it seems as if I can return home. Several of the demons below have given birth. In total, three demons gave birth to one of their young, while two gave birth to twins, equaling seven children. Overall, progress is rearing itself to completion, as the queen is more and more satisfied with our findings.
     We assume that the demons who have not given birth are the males. All were marked for training, ten suited for war and one to be trained for hunting. So far we have had two demon deaths. Two males, one fell into the magma underneath the forges, while the queen ordered the other one slaughtered. Its a pity that the local butcher had to bring the curse upon her house, but she did, albeit unwillingly, kill it. As standard, its bones were carved into bolts, its skull adorned in crafts, it hide tanned and made into armor of enormous value and its meat cooked and fat made to soap.
     As for the war demons, they still haven't shown any hostility to goblins, thus I doubt they will be of any use. Even though there was only one trial, it completely ignored the goblin, who was killed by guards later. Thankfully, another siege came and several high ranking goblins were captured in the process. More trials will be in the future.
     That damned queen has gone mad I tell you. She ate the entire stack of demon meat, ordered another room to be constructed out of the soap made from its fat and she even stole the bone products from our vaults. I fear for her safety, as well as my own and that of all the dwarfs here. Even though the demons act submissive and are well constrained, they seem to still be evil, as if they are hiding their power.
     Armok only knows what exactly will happen. I just hope that I can finish this project so I can return home, away from the beasts of hell.

*Note- I have to change the [CHILDNAME] tag to appropriately name them as "demon spawn"
