At the bottom of Stable 10, the great generator that has kept its residents alive for centuries is beginning to fail. As solutions are sought within, one pegasus sets her sights on the very ponies who built - and possibly sabotaged - her home.

Good ol' Stable-Tec...
"For a moment she considered the blue and yellow pinstriped coveralls. Sledge would tear her ass in half if she showed up without it after his warnings, but she knew Sledge. His bark was always worse than his bite, and she had her reasons to leave them on the hook. Most pressing was that the generator room had an ambient temperature that hovered somewhere between welding burns and balefire."
Smh. Wouldn't get welding burns if she just wore her PPE.

;) If every toolhead wore their PPE we wouldn't have to remind them to do it every day.
Sine wave is the correct spelling. That's the only error I could find in all of this. Very impressive work! This story deserves far more love then it's gotten. I'm giving you a like #76 upfront for your obvious skill and adding it to my library.

Ooh, good catch, I'll correct that in a moment! Sin waves are naturally reserved for the Mature rated test kits ;)
Thanks for the upvote, too! Super happy you're enjoying it thus far!
Not gonna lie was very.... hesitant to start this as theres a lot of bad FOE fics and the soft reboot made me even more hesitant but damned if you didnt hook me with this first chapter. Time to dig into more!

I'm happy to hear it! Feel welcome to share if there's anything you come across that seems confusing or out of sorts. One of the disadvantages of knowing how this story will culminate and end is that I can't read it blind, and it'd be wonderful to have some input on where clarity is needed. :)

Oh shoot, I read your comment and absolutely forgot to answer, Carth!
This story takes place in its own universe, timeline... I suppose whatever the right term is, haha. It's completely separate from Kkat's original including the series of events that lead to the bombs dropping, the characters involved and the world that was left. I've had this story rattling around my head and I thought the Fallout: Equestria genre would be an excellent setting for it to take place in! :)
Honestly I personally didn't see any of it as experiments. I mean, they probably were and there's no excuse despite what I'm about to say.
In all the stories I've read, it's always the same. Either something is designed to eventually fail, or the stable is designed so that eventually the ponies can't survive anymore.
Whenever I've seen dead stables in FO:E stories it's the same. Ponies left because something failed. Or ponies died because they refused to leave.
Yes they're probably experiments, but I also see them as fact. Bunkers - and by extension stables - aren't meant to be permanent. Even self sufficient ones aren't meant to be permanent. I see the intentional failing as serving double duty. An experiment, but also a signal. A signal that it's time for change, to perhaps leave the stable.

I tend to agree. After a point, it's time to head out and stick one's flag in the dirt again. Whether the residents are ready or willing to do that when the time comes tends to decide their survival.
It's a strange feeling that lately the fallout stories, like a snap of fingers, have all come to life. This is good, of course, but now my eyes are running wide, which is the first thing to read.
I will definitely read this story, it is easy to read even I don’t want to be distracted)
ooooh I'm liking this already! But I was definitely surprised to recognise the description of Aurora going nude, my mind jumped to a certain pic by Selenophile
This fic started great. What a good find.
Well, this is the first time I've discovered a fic through imgur memes but oh my god what a delightfully written story. I love the FOE universe and it's been too long since I've really sunk my teeth into a juicy FOE fic. Thank you, your written voice is amazing and even on this first chapter you've breathed so much life into these characters. I'm going to binge the daylights out of this now that I'm done bingeing imgur shitposts.
I'm only a few paragraphs into the first chap and I love this already. As a mechanical millwright in industry myself I feel a certain kinship with aurora. Both because the dialogue and commentary on the mechanical side of things is very accurate and believable, and of course because the headspace you have as a maintenance person among the greater general public is very unique.
It makes it very easy to put myself in Aurora's horseshoes
Yep, I'm now convinced that if you don't work in maintenance, you at least have some thorough exposure to it though working closely with them.
Very very believable and not at all filled with any technobabble. My heart sank when they realized the oscillations came from a magical source rather than mechanical one, since the implications there are dire; I appreciated how quickly the overmare also realized the implication and connection to the other stable experiments rather than being caught up in disbelief. Really gives another more interesting angle to approaching this sort of conflict at this part of FoE stories
I died a little inside when Sledge broke the vibe gauge though
On my 2nd read now, this describes it as being bigger than my mind first envisioned it. In my mind it would be hard to fit 2 or 3 ponies in it, but it would have to be this big for you to have a small single foal family and still be able to pass eachother on the way to the washroom
Uh oh slight discrepancy: pneumatic steel door, but the doors run on hydraulic jacks. They also hiss like pneumatics tho? I think we have a door with an identity crisis lol

X3 Who put that there? I think early Ellie didn't know the difference yet!
An intriguing beginning. Don't you mind if I try to translate your story?
