This story is a sequel to Cypress Zero
For hundreds of years, the post-scarcity world of Equestria has served as a launching point for the stars. Beyond their green earth, interstellar relays and starships power the colonization efforts of all species. And in just minutes, the digital messages of little ponies can cover distances once considered impossible.
It makes the arrival of a physical letter all the more meaningful.
Especially to the most isolated pony at the heart of the Equestrian Core Worlds.
An entry to the Science Fiction Contest II.
No prior reading of Cypress Zero is required. But both stories are stronger together.
