Mad.

They call me mad.

Perhaps I am mad. If I am, does knowing that fact decrease my madness or enforce it? I don’t know anymore. Regardless of that, it constitutes little in the grand scheme of things. My dame once told me that the mind is what it believes. If I believe I am mad, than I am already lost. What I am matters little. What I believe is what matters greatly.

Rainbow Dash is a mercenary at the top of her game. It's a difficult but fun way of life for the rural Ponyville warrior.

One day, she receives an offer significantly different than the usual bounty of courier job: a minor noble named Rarity desires an escort to protect her merchant caravan. Begrudgingly, but most certainly in need of money, she accepts. Who knows? Maybe an adventure will be fun?

It was supposed to be a simple task: drop Cerberus off at the Gates of Tartarus, the prison doors for Equestria's greatest and most terrible monsters. Little did Twilight know it was host to an entirely different prison: the SCP Foundation.

Twilight is enthralled with the sheer amount of knowledge and power the Foundation contains. They are likewise willing to bring her on board. After all, who can stop a black ops facility that doesn't officially exist?

Celestia, if she has any say in the matter, and she promised there would be hell to pay if the Foundation harmed her student.

"Perhaps she will lead the remnants of our kind out of the Burning... But I do not dare believe it, Doctor. Our world has already been murdered. All of this is just the final gasp of breath... before the end."

Ponyville faced an ordinary day, but then night came, and with it a massive gateway into another world. It closes before any action can be taken, but now the Mane Six and Canterlot nobility are tasked with finding out what they can about the gateway. Who created it? Where did it lead to?

And most importantly, did anything come through?
