I am a big Spike fan and a recently joined brony who enjoys the show as much as the stories here

Spike is forced to survive on an alien ocean planet with its own dark secrets

Suicide tag is for mentions of it.

A big thanks to MegaCartmanX and DerpTape for proofreading this for me and to ShirtMechanic for making the cover art.

Not a bad story! Really liking it so far.

10475897
Thanks, I'm working on chapter 3 right now

shame this isn't getting more attention... then again, the game isn't exactly popular anyway... looking forward to more, and shame he's gonna be on his own (for now?)

10492285
Yeah, it's been a while since this was super popular, but for those that have played the game, they should know somewhat of what is going to happen.

10492332
I was just wondering if Spike's gonna have companions, or if it's just going to be a solo "playthrough" of Subnautica... I would go into more details, but I don't want to spoil anything

10492371
I figured he would make a companion. The one fish in the game that is sentient and you hatch.

10492375
yeah, but that's late game... and if it can't be one of the girls, what about just some regular fish he'd catch and put in his aquarium? A Wilson, if you will...

10492381
That's a good idea actually. PM me if you have an idea of a "Wilson" for him.

Yay! He found a survivor!

10502803
This was one of my own ideas, based around the thought of "how would I act in this situation?" I came to the conclusion that insanity would be the first thing to happen after prolonged isolation, but after talking with beirirangu, we figured Fluttershy would be the best companion in Subnautica.

I love the story, now that Spike is not alone it will be interesting to see how all unfolds.

10513558
It definitely shall be interesting. I should have the next chapter up in a day or two though, so you will find out soon enough.

At least spike isn't dealing with my worst enemy, waterproof lockers.

10514825
Yeah, I am intentionally avoiding them because they are so damn annoying.

I wanna hit favorite... I really do... but, death tag make me afraid... aw screw it!

10522050
Don't worry, the death tag is for the abandoned life pods. There will be no actual dead bodies

10522063
:flutterrage: Spoiler alert... :trollestia: nah just kidding. :twilightsmile: thanks!

I skimmed through a bit and decided I liked what I saw anyway.

Did Spike remember to sign up for 'premium'?

Rescue teams will arrive in 9...9...9...9...9 hours."

Passenger 00FU: "God damn it, Neebs!

After re-reading this story a couple times, I realized how lucky he was, the Lifepod Fluttershy was in wasn't THAT far from the seamoth's crush depth...granted, that is over half the depth that the mk 1 depth mod adds.... so......but yeah, she COULD have been in a lifepod that went deeper...

TBF Spike doesn't need to teach her that much...She apparently managed to swim 68 meters from her lifepod up to the seamoth.....

10544368
No, Spike brought the Seamoth towards the life pod, meaning at most, she had to swim maybe a meter or 2. Sorry if that wasn't made clear.

It’s always at 3 AM isn’t it?
Also great story so far!

10562152
Heck, half of these chapters were written at some point waaaaay early in the morning. It's always when I wake up in the middle of the night that I get insperation.

Yo this story is cool dude. I love Subnautica I beat the game like 10 times. (got bored so I’m about to beat it for the 11th time)

10572704
Yeah, I beat the game once, stopped for a bit, and now I'm playing it again. I started writing this well after I got into the game for the second time, so I have to slow my progress in-game so I write this at the same pace.

A Christmas chapter, so that's why it took longer, but it was worth it. Great story so far, carry on.👍
PS: When are you Spike and Fluttershy going to get the radiomessages from the rest of the team?

10601011
I was planning on having Spike investigate another pod in the next chapter. Any particular pony or location you want this to be at?

10601246
If possible i would pick Lifepod 12 as the location and Rainbow Dash as the survivor.
PS: If you want to make it really dramatic, Spike could find her alive, because the survivor of lifepod 12 is in the final stage of the Kharaa Bacterium.
PPS: I might have put more thought in to this than intended.

10602118
Isn't that the one located at 250m down in the Bulb Bush area?

10602144
Umm... That's the life pod Fluttershy came from. I missed a detail by saying the Seamoth went upto the life pod, so that might have caused some confusion. I chose that life pod for Fluttershy because the survivor in the game was a doctor and Fluttershy is a veterinarian, which is close enough to a doctor.

10602151
No, what actually confused me was Fluttershy‘s radiomassage, it resembled the massage from lifepod 17😅. Anyway, if 12 is taken i have no further suggestions.

10602160
Isn't 17 the life pod that Ozzy was in?

10602179
Yes, also i think i get now why i mixed things up. I looked at Ozzy‘s crew log, not his distress call.

10602267
Either way, Pinkie was in life pod 17, based around the fact that she loves to bake

10602852
I give up, i have no more suggestion for the location.
PS: I see you finally got a cover for your story.

10603681
Ok, maybe from now on I will clarify the life pod locations at the end of the chapter, just to avoid any more confusion.
P.S. The cover art was made by ShirtMechanic.

You know how the universe is a hologram and reality an illusion? Good cause you got reviewed!

Note, Lifepod 6 is west of the exploded front of the Aurora, there is a red grassy area near the back end, but no lifepod there https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/subnautica/images/c/c1/MAP_biomes_borders_v2.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20180220134009 This link goes to a map of the surface of the area in subnautica, with biomes color-coded, and various other things on there, such as lifepods, which number they are, thermal vents, and even Leviathan Locations...so it has spoilers for anyone who hasn't played yet, figured this might help, the wiki has other maps of the other areas if ya want something to help you base yer story off on :pinkiehappy:

10617918
Good Lord, I'm losing my touch. I could have sworn in my life that life pod 6 was near the back of the Aurora. I might need to edit this chapter.

Looks like Dash is the last chance to find another survivor.

I just realized something: Lifepod 6 was blown up by a simple flare, so how is it possible that lifepod 5 survived an INTERNAL FIRE!

Ooof... That's rough.


I don't suppose there's any chance they survived that?:fluttercry:

10619444
Honestly, the best answer I can think of is that life pod 6 was damaged and the fuel lines were exposed. Life pod 5 on the other hand, was completely structurally sound, aside from the panel that flew off, so the fire was contained inside. Thought this answer still doesn't explain how your character was unconscious for 3 hours with a raging fire inside of their life pod.

10623628
Umm... Sadly, they didn't. The life pod exploded around them.

10623636
True, that is the REAL question.

Can you give hint for spike to have another companion? Just 1 hint pls!!!

"But it's been a while day since ...

while day?
