    (Cancelled due to total revision)

    A ship crashes near Ponyville. A dazed crew member named Jordan wakes up outside the wreck and learns that he must collect data that could ensure the survival of the rest of his crew and get them to safety within a week, or pests will eat the structure of the ship to the point it collapses. But when he goes to collect the data, he is caught by the inhabitants, who have mixed feeling about his presence and that of his ship. Meanwhile, something stirs within the mysterious pods scattered around the ship. Pods that carry a comatose person in each of them. Some of them sabotaged the ship, and they're not done with their malicious quest.

    ((This is my first fanfic. If anything is wrong with it, anything at all, please tell me. I'm open to opinions and even suggestions. By "epic cast" in the tags part I mean "pretty much all our favorites play a part of some sort in this" A better cover image is welcome :D))

    I'm not happy with some of the things in this chapter, even though I finally added some interaction now.

    Could you imagine the CMC in any SCP game? I can't! But I found this, SCP-173 Ponified:

    Oh... and :derpytongue2: raided your fridge.

    NAME THE LAST PONY WHO SPOKE.

    I'm not proud with a few things going on in the chapter. I literally added the Colgate and Berry Punch bit during the bigotry rant at the last minute. :facehoof:

    A few minor things I'll share with you that will be mentioned eventually because I couldn't put it in this chapter:

    -the fact Doctor Whooves and Colgate are brother and sister. :rainbowderp:

    -Ditzy being called Derpy by Jordan :derpyderp1:

    -Nurse Redheart (yeah, that's it)

    -Jordan's old crush on Gunny (guess how it worked out) :facehoof:

    -F-bomb (probably won't) :pinkiegasp: Did.

    -Vinyl's question :pinkiehappy:

    -Carrot Top getting told by Jordan ("THIS CARROT IS FRESH, YOU ONLY THROW THE ROTTEN ONES!" *takes bite of carrot*) :twilightoops:

    Actually, not doing that last one... :twilightsheepish:

    Funny... this chapter is longer than the last one, but I finished it in 2 days. :applejackconfused: Maybe it's the action? I like writing violent scenes. Don't judge me... :applecry: I just like the action!

    Jordan does a few important things here, but I won't point them out.

    This is a disturbing part, is it not? Bleeding from the eyes, parasitic giant bugs, acid spewing monsters. And poor Colgate getting hit by one. :fluttercry:

    But it gets worse. :raritydespair:

    Also, if you notice how some of the indents don't go as far as the others, I write this with indents in Microsoft Word, then copy paste and edit here. I can use Indent All for the individual un-indented paragraphs, so I tap space eight times. Unfortunately, it seems that isn't working. I'll save the indenting for the final edit in the future to avoid this problem. :twilightsmile:

    I'm going to space. Warp 9. Engage. Pic related.

    Morning, darling.

    To everyone that disliked what happened to Colgate: She shall return. Here, have this.

    NEW REFS: Jordan and Gunny.

    I'm not happy with Gunny's incorrect proportions.

    This part is good, the only problem I had was with Jordan's little poem. Otherwise, I enjoyed writing it, even though it took me a week. Enjoy!

    GAH TYPING HEADACHE :fluttershbad:

    Almost got writer's block on the "Sparkler meets 0001" part. Who knew describing a machine that doesn't exist could be so hard. Then again, I had an easy time explaining the transformation stuff... :derpytongue2:

    APPLEJACK! NOOOOES! CLAYMORE!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :flutterrage:

    (Claymore/0004's character was inspired by Skrillex - Scatta (feat. Foreign Beggars and Bare Noize), amazingly. :twilightsheepish:

    Oroon is pronounced OH-Roon, not OR-roon. 'Kay? :ajsmug:

    So what did that asshole, Claymore, do when he grabbed the ship? :unsuresweetie:

    How is Applejack? :raritydespair:

    WHAT THE BUCK ARE THEY GONNA DO NEXT? :rainbowdetermined2:

    And where is Princess Luna? :rainbowderp:

    FIND OUT NEXT TIME, AFTER YOU READ THIS CHEESY, SATURDAY MORNING CARTOON-LIKE ANNOUNCEMENT! :pinkiecrazy:

    (P.S. How's my semi-colon use? How's my writing in general? I need to know these things!) :pinkiehappy:

    The entire time 0004 was doing his shit, I was all like

    and then he left and I was all like

    and then I was all like mumbling unrealistic threats as I walked away and then the chapter ended.

    >>794833 My original plan for 0004 was to make him an asshole to the point it was ridiculous. When he announces that his name is Claymore, he was also going to say "Remember it!", but I removed that because... cheese. :derpyderp2:

    I believe you would hate him more if he did that, am I right?

    I imagine Twilight as being offended if someone were to label her as having OCD. Even though she does, really. CLOCK. IS. TICKING! :twilightangry2:

    The next chapter is not going to be the meeting itself, but I'm going step back from Jordan, Gunny, and Bobby and actually look at the pony perspective - as in I'm going to write about the ponies going to the meeting. The only exception to this is the Mane 6... but then, there's also an exception to that, since Applejack will have her part, and so will Colgate. :pinkiesmile:

    Who am I not involving? Carrot Top, Daisy, Lily, Rose, the Mayor's gonna hang back, Cheerilee (I wanted her to be involved, then I remembered that she's practically the only teacher in Ponyville), the Cakes (are semi-involved, not directly), and others.

    Who hasn't been mentioned - directly or indirectly - that will be involved? The ones who aren't as important compared to the others are the Wonderbolts (they get their chance in the spotlight for a very short while, but I will give them something important to do sometime), Clearview and his squad (one of them is important, but who, I'm not telling), Doctor Whooves (I wasn't planning on making him go into the ship, so he's not as important as, say, Colgate), Vinyl and Octavia (there is a part where they're a big part, but that's much later).

    Will there be an interlude or two eventually? Yes. The entire story takes place over a week, so every "night" there will be an interlude with Captain Jast or "Minder". Who is "Minder"? That's important. Too important. :rainbowhuh:
