Gryphonization has changed the course of history.  But will the co-operative progress of two worlds still be undone?  Dark forces gather on the horizons of Earth and Equestria, and this time there may be no escape.

The adventures of Fyrenn, his friends, and family continue as their fates intersect with deadly secrets, and a massive struggle for the fate of Humanity and Equestria alike.

Old enemies return, new friends appear, unthinkable losses loom, and families grow in unexpected ways.

This is a direct sequel to Option Gamma: if you have not read Option Gamma it is likely you will get little to no enjoyment from this story (as you will not understand what is going on), so go start at the beginning if you haven't taken that plunge already.  I can neither smash two stories of this size together into one, nor simply recap 230,000 words for the uninitiated in the first chapters.

If short stories are your thing, then this is exactly the opposite of your thing.

If Gryphons are your thing, then this is definitely absolutely your thing.

[Rated T for teen due to scenes of sci-fi/fantasy action violence, and grim moments.

And large explosions. Part of my Gammaverse TCB 'reboot' universe.]

To date the Conversion Bureaus have always been dedicated exclusively to Ponification.  

What if that wasn’t true anymore?  

What if Ponies weren’t the only choice in future species for humanity?  

What if Equestrians weren’t high-hoofed moralisers, but merely a species offering us friendship and an escape in time of need?  

What if humanity wasn’t entirely a race of misanthropic proto-apes bent on ruining the planet, but a proud species, with a history of successes and failures both, who’s luck simply ran out?

What if we hadn’t completely given up on our other options?

What if the PER were more aggressive, more well equipped, and more well lead?  

What if the HLF were on the cusp of gaining access to WMDs?  

What if, to live in Equestria, not everyone had to give up the ability to fight ?

To hate?

To make war?

What would happen if you suddenly had another option?

This is my spin on the Conversion Bureau Universe (originally by Blaze, expanded vastly by many wonderful authors).

This is not your granddaddy's Conversion Bureau...

[Rated T for teen due to scenes of sci-fi/fantasy action violence. And large explosions.

Inspired by reading the many wonderful stories of TCB universe.  

You might also notice some Fringe, X-Files, and other popular Sci-Fi influence

Also Gryphons, but you probably already figured that one out.

[[On HIATUS temporarily awaiting completion of another story, then a partial re-write]]

To save Humanity, would you be willing to bring about its end?

To preserve lives, is it viable to alter them so deeply?

See how it all began;

The Bureaus, the PER, the HLF...

This is not your granddaddy's Conversion Bureau.

Welcome to a TCB world where Equestrians aren’t high-hoofed moralists, but merely a species offering us friendship and an escape in time of need.

A world where humanity isn’t entirely a race of misanthropic proto-apes bent on ruining the planet, but a proud species, with a history of successes and failures both, who’s luck simply ran out.

A world where we haven’t completely given up on our other options.

Where the PER become more aggressive, more well equipped, and more well led.  

Where the HLF rise to the cusp of gaining access to WMDs.

Where, one day, Ponies won’t be the only option.

But for now, they are the Threshold of a new era.

This is the prequel to Option Gamma.

It explores the inception of my take on the TCB universe.  

(Option Gamma may be read before this (which will result in some very mild partial spoilers), or after. Either should be enjoyable. I hope.)
