The inhabitants of the Mulisiana peninsula speak of horrifying mechanical ponies which ruthlessly stalk the land, harvesting materials and dispatching any creature who dares cross their path. Within the vast, rolling hills of detritus known as the Trash Heap, the synthetics toil endlessly. To what end, nopony can say.

Note: This short story was originally written for and published in Fallout Equestria ABC: Dangers of the Wasteland. It takes place in the setting of Fallout: Equestria, and more specifically my own fanfiction Fallout: Equestria - Of Shadows; it is recommended that you are familiar with the setting of both, but it has been written to stand on its own.

Thanks! I did have a word limit for the collab, so I did have to make it a bit shorter than it might've otherwise been. Can I help clarify anything for you? c:
- Really nice story! I glad I found it. Especially with all that mechanic and Synth theme in it as well as Zonkie as main character!
The cover art is really cute
