The crew of the USS Orville was excited to visit Equestria. Much like the other planets they've visited on the far reaches of space, it promises to be another thrilling encounter full of wonder and intrigue.

And then they go and screw it up. Now, the crew must do their best to make up for it or they risk alienating one of the Union's most valuable vacation spots and the source of its delicious breakfast pastries. We can't have that.

Now where is Discord. I want to seat by his place to watch while having popcorn, ice cream and drinks.

And what exactly had they done to get Luna's wrath.

Okay. I just can't not read this. :pinkiehappy:

This is amazing! The Orville and My Little Pony! Can’t wait for more!

Star Trek: Orville is the show Trekkies need but don’t deserve. But we get it anyway, so that’s nice.

The crew of The Orville have been very bad. So, no going to see Santa Discord and joining the Q. :twilightoops:

So, how do the CMC get tree sap in the warp core again?:scootangel:

I love Orville! But what did they do?!

Thanks for reading guys and yes, the Orville is awesome and the new Star Trek is... well, not really hitting the mark quite as well. But Star Trek Orville, errr, I mean Orville, is why we're here. And not to spoil anything, but there are hints about what the Orville's crew was responsible for already if you're the investigative type, but we won't find out for sure until the very end. There will be more hints however, but what they did has already been done. What they're doing now to make up for it is what we're focusing on. Stay tuned, gang!

I blame Gordon.

I'm intrigued. I love the Orville since it seems so much like a Star Trek where they scraped the bottom of the barrel. Can't wait to learn what they've done.

This was written with you in mind, especially after our conversation about Orville and Star Trek Discovery.

.... Hmmmm. Now I might have to watch this show. I've been working my way through TNG and DS9, and I'm not certain if the new trek is... well if I should watch it, but in terms of comedy...

next up? or is story dead?

9507007
I'm about 1500 words into the next chapter, but it's not quite ready yet. How long would you prefer each chapter be approximately?

So I'm assuming this is before the Kaylon went all Skynet on everyone?

9612171
Shhhhhh... and yes. Before the Kaylon's attack and before Alara left.

and so the crew of the Orville face their greatest challenge yet... a crappy self-insert.

Great to see this updated.

9612230
If you're referring to Dan, he's a crappy tie-in rather than a crappy self-insert. Makin' mah own universe, yeh. And Dan is from Dan Vs. He also doesn't like it when you call him crappy.

9612236
Ah, it's that Dan, okay that's a little different then. He just happens to check off a lot of the checkboxes for crappy self-inserts but unlike them, he generally has good reason to be an asshole.

9612240
His reasoning for being an asshole is that he IS an asshole. But, sometimes a nice guy. And yes, he does check off those boxes, doesn't he? I didn't really think about it like that.

But no, when I insert myself, I usually prefer the Hitchcockian-style of cameo or insert. I love those cameos.

OK clearly this is a punishment from the princesses, you do not dispatch Dan Peppercino with any sort of authority unless you want to make people SUFFER. The man is more vengeance obsessed than Ghostrider! And let's face it the Princesses can be real trolls if they want to be... Though inflicting Dan on someone is mean!

9612249
As indicated in the story, Dan is an Equestrian Duke now, the highest ranking a non-pony can achieve in the Equestrian power structure. He works under Twilight Sparkle and is acting minister of defense for the KoE.

9612252
Well leave it to Twilight to find a way to harness his rage for a good purpose.

First mention of the Krill, I was oh no, Inklings.

If theyre facing Dan though.

Put another Shrimp on the Barbie. And the Ken, And the Fusion Furnace. :pinkiecrazy:

ERROR: FRANCHISE CONFLICT

Your story contains too many franchises, please remove one or more franchise before trying again.

Interesting, I didn't realize this was also in the Dan verse.

I do wonder what Luna expects of the Orville, if they are covering for her. They can probably vaporize a rampaging owlbear or timberwolf from orbit, but what about foals having bad dreams? Does she expect them to find a way to deal with that?

Perhaps the Orville can focus some kind of beam that induces REM cycles on the surface of the planet.

This is set after Season 1 of Dan Vs. but before Season 2. Kind-of trying to tie in all my stories together, which is why so many of them have Elements in the title, but not all of them.

After a lot of consideration, people reading this would be able to get a few spoilers from this, but seeing as most of the regular readers of Dan Vs. aren't interested in this story, most probably won't notice or mind very much. I've already said I'm planning on a Season 2 and Season 0 of Dan Vs. so obviously Dan and Twilight would have to survive, so those aren't really spoilers.

But this is a time in-between seasons of Dan Vs. where Dan is now pretty much an active ruler and very powerful. He has the authority, respect and experience of Equestria, well-earned after battles with... well, you know who. He's able to fully use Equestrian magic as well- through other ponies. His subjects are so loyal to him and his security protocols so implemented that he no longer has to speak to get a unicorn to teleport him anywhere he wants to go.

This is Dan at the height of his power, as foreshadowed by Twilight in Episode 4 of Dan Vs. TMOF. The other "space clowns" he's referring to are the Rebel Alliance, the UNSC, the Federation and the Galactic Federation. This was only a cameo for Dan but basically, his stance is what you'd expect- he hates about 99.9999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999% of them and dislikes the remainder extremely, even if I like them. Ponyville has since become independent of most of Equestria's activities and is now a functioning city-state, essentially, though they still cooperate with the rest of the KoE.

Oh crap, so I have to read the Dan vs?

9625911
No, it's mostly just a tie-in reference. You just need to understand this version of Equestria is not the same as the regular one, as is the case in many crossovers. This Equestria has already come into contact with alien species so it's not a first contact scenario.

Ho. Lee. 💩. The last thing I was expecting to find on Fimfic was a "The Orville" crossover. I truly loved that show, until I was unable to afford cable, then Fox canceled it. :pinkiesad2:

I hope this is continued some day.

I would, but I was watching this show with my dad when I first began writing it. It's difficult to continue writing or watch the show with him gone. He passed away shortly after I started writing this and, well, I haven't watched the show since. So much has happened and my life still isn't stable, even years later. I'm disappointed the show was cancelled as well.

I'm sorry for your loss. I was very close to my mother. She died over five years ago, and it still hurts. I don't think that she liked "The Orville," but I got my love of "Star Trek" from her.

I found this story after I read "Fluttershy Adopts a Velociraptor," which has to be one of the best titles ever. Before writing this comment, I breezed through your list of stories, and found a "Spaceballs" story that I promptly read. You have an awful lot of "Incomplete" stories! Is there any chance of "Spaceballs: The Second Chapter"? (Probably not, I know, but it's worth asking! :rainbowwild: :derpytongue2:)

I never intended to be another one of those authors, artists with a bunch of unfinished works. But here we are. Life happened. I have other goals, other priorities and not an unlimited amount of time. I have to work more to pay for things, but thankfully, I have a job and people that care about me. I'm also trying to become a donor parent, to ensure my bloodline carries on. Maybe give my children a better chance than I had. Hopefully.

In the meantime, I am writing and doing other projects- little by little. My Clone Wars crossover is something I'm enjoying writing so it's what I'm focusing on right now. I do think about Dan Vs. a lot but not as much my Spaceballs crossover. Maybe if the mood strikes me I can get into them, but I don't have a lot of free time.

11800309
Yup, life happens. I'm going through too much life to mention right now. All I can really say is "Good luck with that."

I've added your "Dan Vs." stories to my "read later" list, but it may take me a while to get to the million-word one! I found another "Spaceballs" story today, a ponified version of one of Dark Helmet's funniest scenes. Have you read "Ludicrous Scene Go!"?

May the Schwartz be with you.
