This story is a sequel to In Another Life II: Chance's Folly

Given an offer he can’t refuse, Alistair is summoned to the University of Canterlot by a vague letter with an even vaguer pretense. Requesting an official background examination, the scholars of Equestria wish to finally document the details of his presence in the realm and achieve some sort explanation of his odd arrival, the facts of which he’s been reluctant to explain.

Presiding over the ordeal is the stalwart stallion Professor Neuro Paraprax, Director of Human Studies within the esteemed institution and hopeful optimist for the results the examination will yield. With a hardy education under his belt, and an incredible diligence for the facts, it seems that all will turn out well.

But, as the questions take a dark twist, and Alistair find’s himself increasingly unsettled by the answers, the problems of the past may be prove to be the least of his concerns.
