It had been three months since the incident at Panchea. Three months since Adam Jensen had made the decision to promote the advancement of augmentations. He had the choice to let the world decide for themselves, but that would involve him dying. He also had the choice to promote anti-augmentation to keep the world from advancing into its own doom. However, spurred on by his loyalty to his job working for Sarif Industries, he chose to let the world keep augmentations. Tonight, he lay in his apartment in Detroit, which for reasons unexplainable seemed to be the only apartment in the entire apartment building. He was currently watching the News, which was still going on about the discovery of the DNA- his DNA- alterations which could be made to negate the necessity for Neuropazyne, the drug normal augmented people needed to use to not die. Adam turned off the television. He already knew everything about that. Moving to his kitchen, he noticed he was low on energy, so he decided to look for an energy bar. Not finding one on his counter, he lifted up his refrigerator and moved it to his living room. There, behind the refrigerator, he found a couple bars and a pack, along with a hypostim.
“How did a hypostim get back there?” He asked himself. He decided to ignore it and eat the energy bar. However, as he unwrapped the bar, there was knock at the door.
“This had better be the guy coming here to replace my mirror.” He thought. He opened his apartment door, to be greeted by not the janitor, but rather three heavily-augmented soldiers.
“Who the hell are you guys?” Adam asked, getting a little suspicious. As far as he knew, janitors didn’t have body armor, heavy rifles, and frag grenades.
“Not like you’re going to need that information.” The man in front stated as he and the other two soldiers shouldered their rifles. Adam quickly crouched and activated his cloaking system as the three men sprayed bullets everywhere in his apartment, splintering a table, pulverizing his couch, shattering all of the windows in his apartment, and tearing multiple holes in his fridge. He sat in his kitchen as the soldiers continued to walk through his apartment, decimating everything they saw. Adam snuck behind one of the soldiers and pulled out his stun gun. Not wasting any time, he zapped the guy, rendering him unconscious. When the other backup soldier turned around and saw his friend lying on the ground doing nothing, Adam maneuvered behind him and cut two clean holes in him with his wrist-blades. Then he suddenly uncloaked, as the low energy warning appeared on his heads-up display.
“Shit.” He cursed, as the lead man turned around and saw Adam strafe-jumping from side to side, while frantically attempting to reload his stun gun. The soldier chuckled as he spun up the heavy rifle.
CLICK
“Huh?” He said. He looked down at his gun. Out of ammo. He looked up to see that Adam had pulled the combat rifle off of his coffee table, which was aimed right at his face.
“I’ll give you one last chance to tell me.” He said.
“Tell you?” The man said. “Tell you what?”
“Tell me why you barged into my apartment and tried to kill me.” Adam stated plainly.
“I was sent to kill you.”
“No shit. Who sent you?”
The man snorted. “Fuck you.”
Adam said nothing, but instead put two bullets in the soldier's thigh.
“AGH!” The soldier bellowed. "Alright, fine, take a look for yourself."
The soldier pulled a pocket secretary out of his armor and handed it to Adam. Adam read over it. It was an email from none other than Taggart.
RE: Your assignment.
Thanks for contacting me Tex. It's that asshole Adam Jensen. I've had it with hearing about his DNA and how Augmentations are the way of the future. I know I'm not usually a man to hold grudges, but he's such a fucking attention whore! Anyways, I should warn you that he's near-impossible to take down on your own. Take some backup with you, and do not let him talk you into anything. He has the apartment in the Chiron building in North Detroit. And remember this; do not have any mercy on him.
>I heard you might have some
>jobs for me
>Who's my target?
"Your name is Tex? Isn't that just a r-"
PLINK
Adam looked down at the soldier. He was holding a grenade with no pin.
“What?” He had totally forgotten that he had a frag grenade.
“I have to get the job done.” The man stated. The only thing that followed was an explosion, which shattered everything in a 10 foot radius, including the two men. Adam Jensen was dead.
Chirp Chirp.
The sound of birds was a rare thing to hear in the big city; mostly because there was hardly any natural habitat left in the world anymore. Adam pondered this for a moment before he tried to sit up. It was no use. Considering his massive headache, not to mention the fact that he was sore all over, he collapsed back onto the soft grass.
Wait…
There was hardly any grass in Detroit… where the hell was he? This time, Adam shot up without any complaint whatsoever. He was in a beautiful garden, decorated with sculptures of various equines and creatures, freshly-trimmed and well-maintained hedges, and many exotic animals most people would only dream of seeing.
‘How the hell did this happen?’ He wondered. The last thing he remembered was the guy in the apartment with the grenade, and dying. ‘Is this heaven?’ But no matter how hard he tried to convince himself, he couldn’t make himself believe that it was heaven. Even worse, he had no explanation how he got to where he was. But the explanation could wait. The first thing he needed to do was find out just where the hell he was. So what better place to ask for directions than the nearest building? Adam clambered to his feet and made his way towards a VERY large, picturesque castle.
‘Heh, it looks like something out of a ‘10s kids’ show’ he thought to himself.
And that’s when he noticed something far more surprising; all of his HUD was still working, even the map! ‘That’s a plus… now what about my augmentations?’ To check, he slowly deployed (but didn’t shoot) the Typhoon explosive system, quickly activated and de-activated his GlassShield Cloaking System, and from the looks of it he could still perform a dual takedown. After checking his augmentations, he went through his inventory. He still had a shotgun with about 40 shells, his silenced 10mm pistol, which he had 50 rounds for, his silenced Machine Pistol, with 150 rounds, a stun gun and 15 darts, a Heavy Rifle with a full 200 round canister, ten Cyberboost ProEnergy bars, two Cyberboost packs, a Cyberboost Jar, two Hypostims, four painkillers, a beer (which he quickly discarded), four Typhoon ammo canisters, ten Stop! worm software cards, twelve nuke viruses, but most importantly, his beloved Laser Rifle and 4000 battery left in the pack! But the most surprising thing yet was the fact that he had a spare Praxis point! He decided to save it for later. Right now, it was time to get to this castle.
He’d been walking for 20 minutes before he could finally see a door. A very large wooden door, at that. It was being guarded by two… horses? He checked his minimap. They were denoted by white triangles.
“Am I in Romania or something?” He said out loud to no one in particular.
“Did you hear that?” A gruff voice said out of nowhere.
‘Shit, a guard.’ Adam quickly took cover behind a statue and looked out from the side. But there were no humans in sight.
“I think I did.” One of the guardponies said.
‘Okay, I must be seriously dreaming or something. Did that fucking horse just talk?’ To say Adam was confused at the moment would be like saying we’re excited for Season 3; it’s quite the understatement, to say in the least.
After waiting for a couple moments, the guard on the left of the door shrugged and continued to stare at nothing in particular. At this point, Adam realized there were two options; kill the guards, or attempt to confront them. Now, contrary to what one may think, Adam Jensen is not generally a violent person, and would rather talk to one rather than shoot first and ask questions later, so he went with the latter option. Adam simply walked up to the guards.
“Halt, intruder! State the reason for your presence or be confronted by our ruler, Princess Celesti-Luna!” The two guards said in unison, up until the Princess’s names. The guard on the right turned to the other guard. “You’ve got to be kidding me, Spear. For the last time, we say ‘Celestia’, and I don’t care if you like Luna more, it’s what we’re ordered to say!” Before “Spear” could put in his two bits, Adam cleared his throat.
“Actually, I’d appreciate talking to your Princess. Although I have one question before I do.”
Spear cut off whatever the other guard was about to say with a “What is that, sir…?” Rising to the question mark at the end of the sentence in case this… thing… wasn’t actually male.
“Is every single occupant of wherever I am a..." Adam realized these horses were way too small to be horses, but way too big to be foals. "pony?”
“Yes sir.”

gotta remember the weponry The Grey Pegasus
He was currently watching the News, which was still going on about the discovery of the DNA- his DNA- alterations which could be made to negate the necessity for Neuropazyne, the drug normal augmented people needed to use to not die.
I think I will like this story.
Also, that's a horrible reason to kill him, but whatever.
Well Sarif's just fantastically out of character and seemingly subject to plot induced stupidity. He seriously thinks he can kill Adam Jensen with bunch of guards? If you were gonna throw Adam into Equestria like this you should've just had him blow up Panacea and wake up in Equestria.
So to clear this up guys:
Yes, Adam Jensen is still a human. I would have mentioned otherwise
I wrote this on a plane ride from Seattle to Dallas. I didn't really expect people to like this. If I had KNOWN people would be reading it, I'd have tried harder.
I was originally going to call the chapter "Cliche Entrance".
Yeah...after reading this...I'm afraid that I'm going to have to take it off of my favorites list and give it a thumbs down. I like the concept of bringing Jensen into Equestria, I REALLY do, but the way you execute it is the definition of "weak" and "sauce." Some serious editing needs to be done if this story ever wants to reach it's full potential and greatness, but as it stands, I'm jumping off this ship like the first white bitch off of the Titanic.

>>1125813 He hides stuff from you, but any person with even minor LA Noire skills (LA Noire interogations required listening to tone of voice AND what they were saying, not just visual stuff) making him tell everything is incredibly easy even without the voice aug, which is worthless.
Hrm...it has great potential,but it definitely needs to be polished up.Will keep track to see if improvements are made.
Oh,and a minor grammatical error.It's neuropozyne,not neuropazyne.
EDIT: Meant to ask...why Sarif's ending?Methinks the Self-Destruct ending would be a much better fit for this story.Plus,you get symbolism points for having Jensen be "reborn" into Equestria via drowning.
Save right after the Hyron battle, and it's easy to get all four endings. There really isn't any difference between them, except the voiceover and whether or not Panchaea Falls, Everyone Dies.
But I digress; unless you canonically had Jensen pull the anti-augmentation ending, then Sarif really couldn't even begin to have a reason to want Jensen dead or even fired. Given that it's just a mechanism to pull Jensen into Equestria, I'd suggest rewriting that part.
This story is terrible. I could barely get past the first few paragraphs. No one big thing stuck out; it was lots of little things, like saying Adam's apartment was the only one in the building, misspelling Neuropozyne, him noting some random bit of equipment when he wanted to get a snack bar, et cetera.
>>1126329 Its fantastic at every point. It looks fantastic, it has incredible story, its well voice acted (although bad lip syncing), incredibly fun combat, multiple ways to do everything, good skill progression and has a good amount of gameplay (maybe 16 hours of story, but its so fun, it feels shorter then a cod campaign)
>>1124738 >>1124966 uhhh... Taggart isn't Sarif.... how did you get those two confused !? 
EDIT: Now that I've read more comments? How the hell are so many people confusing Taggart for Sarif!? wth people!?
edit2: I retract my remarks made above after the author informed me of an edit he made i wasn't aware of. >.> My apologies.
AAAAAAWWWWWWWWWWWWWW YEEEEEEEEEEEEAH! I couldn't continue reading the ponified version of Deus Ex:HR .... because no Adam, and it was exactly that, just completely ponified.
This should be good for me... seeing as it's better. I'm gonna fucking love it!
I wonder if the story will be funny like punch punch revolution?
>Stumble upon a rare DE:HR Crossover
>mfw it's not that bad

Yes. Talk about common sense when referring to an augmented human Cyborg getting transported to a magical pony land intended for little girls to young to know what 9/11 was. That won't in ANY way lead to ANYONE getting hit by the anvil of irony...
In all seriousness though, the writer can have Jensen in Equestria being whatever he wants him to be (human, cyborg-human, cyborg-pony, or regular pony). Though, I'm pretty sure that if he LOST his augmentations (without the parts of his body those augmentations replaced by the necessary pony or human parts in the journey to Equestria that is)...I'm pretty sure that he'd be a vegetable (in the sense that he'd have no arms or legs (or forelegs and hind-legs) and he'd probably be pushing up daisies (because I'm pretty sure some of those augmentations were NECESSARY FOR HIM TO LIVE after getting his ass beat at Sariff Industries at the end of the opening level of the game).
So Taggart is not so pacifist as he wanted to be seen by public(he is not Sarif for buck sake ppl!)
Diffrent choice than me (i go with Darrow.... Taggart was into Iluminati, Sarif.. i don't going to trust corporations.) but it's going to be fantastic story.
And don't forgot, every food Jensen eat can give him energy. Not only energy bars(they are simply concentrated nutrients so with some apple pies he can regenerate his powa too ; P). Ohh i can see this nerdgasm Twi is going to have when she see this technology.
Eh.... You dear author simply read my mind or something. I finished game not so long ago and thought "Ah... now i wanna see Jensen in Equestria".
Edit: And about praxis, don't fret people. They are only way to launch he's implants faster. Basically everything we can choose when character in game lvl up are already in Jensen waiting to "wake up".

To maximize chances, set off the grenade while getting into a fatal car accident and committing suicide with a stick of butter. (The Human's Guide to Life in Equestria is the source of those things. Check it out if you want some laughs.)
Which Critic episode is the Anvil of Irony from?
>Anything

please include one of the following lines:
her neck was snapped and her body was burned beyond recognition with a high tech comound
A bomb!
and of course the classic: what a shame, he was a good man... what a rotten way to die (anyone who's played the origional deus ex should get this)
Well, I am looking forward to this, even if the fic feels a bit rushed and Taggart is humongously OOC (that old fella never swears or would order an assassination attempt. He's more the calm, intellectual man).
Also could we please ditch the entire energy bar thingy? It works for gameplay but not for storytelling.

One: Jar of Dirt, you're awesome. No two ways around it.
Two: The story IS tagged with comedy; the energy bars will be coming into play both comedically and practically.
I don't have access to an actual computer atm. I'm using my iphone. XD
"Tonight, he lay in his apartment in Detroit, which for reasons unexplainable seemed to be the only apartment in the entire apartment building."
This, I thought was rather amusing. Ah yes, we're going by game mechanics I see. I wonder if there will be houses in Manehattan that are inexplicably un-openable and as far as one can tell are house-shaped empty boxes? (But what would be the point, story-wise? Maybe that only applies to the game world he came from, and now that he's in the "real" world that sort of thing doesn't happen :P
