Technology. It is the thing of convenience and power built by humans. With it they can change the shape and fate of worlds. With technology, anyone can achieve greatness. 

So when mankind's technology from different realities were dropped onto the world of Equestria, who knows what could happen? A queen who grew up surrounded by metal and knowledge will have to unite her fractured species to stand against the Griffons and the Ponies, but perhaps also a far more serious threat in the future. 

As they say, Fate is what you make of it. 

That and it would be so much easier if the other Changeling Queens just... agreed on something other than 'look a pony! FOOD!' mindset. 

“Tour America by Rail!” the sign said, and so Sweetsong does. Everything she needs for a journey fits into her saddlebags, and there are plenty of trains to choose from if she’s resourceful enough.

There’s nothing quite like having her hooves over the side of an empty gondola watching the world speed by, or looking at the stars overhead through the end bracing on a grain car. Sometimes box cars have their doors left open, and she knows how to jam them so they won’t close en route.

When she gets where the train takes her, she can live off the land or sing and play her guitar for money. When it’s time to move on? There’s always another train.

70 years ago, Equestria was rocked by an arcane cataclysm which warped the bodies, minds, and magic of every equine species in the world. In the modern era, Ponykind is forced to rely more on technology than magic. Mages work to discover how to use their new bodies to cast ancient spells Equestria once replied upon. International politics are weaker than ever. Eldrly ponies lament they are entering their twilight years at a mere 120 years of age.

In this new world, some have gained abilities once rare or even unheard of outside of the pages of comic books. Some of these ponies, inspired by the Elements of Harmony's work last century, chose to use their powers for the good of all. Others, decided to walk down a more selfish path. The conflict between these groups spills out into the streets of nearly every city and town in the world, and has plunged Equestrian into chaos.

With Princess Twilight focusing nearly exclusively on undoing the effects of the Cataclysm, there is little the Crown can do to keep Equestrians safe from themselves. It is the absolute worst possible time for an existential threat to come to Equis... And so, one has. Unbeknownst to all, an Interstellar Empire works in the shadows, priming Equis for invasion.

Fate has chosen one Equestrian archeologist to be Equestria's shot at remaining a free people. Fortunately for all ponykind, their unknown enemy has enemies of its own.

Geordi led a nice life with his humble shop in the little known city of Whitelake. It wasn't much, but life in the hot countryside of Griffonia was easy enough for the young griffon that he could pursue his dreams.

But things changed when the weight of corrupt politicians became too much for their their country to bear for so long. It also didn't help that griffons were kind of dumb when it came to politics and kept electing the worse leaders possible.

At least Geordi would have a home and food during his time in Fort King Grover by Griffonstone. And since he was there, he would become the best soldier he could!

The sex tag is for conversations and an overly imaginative teenager. No actual scenes in this story.

This story is a prequel to Geordi's short participation in Piece of Parchment.
And will be followed by a sequel.
Fólkvangr is Gilda's own spinoff story from Piece of Parchment and it touches further into the griffon part of the alternate universe.
But it can be read independently.

Special thanks to Heavy Weapons Guy for helping me proofread this thing as of chapter 2!

Page has some problems. Some are large with larger teeth. Some have sharp claws. Some have wings. Most are ponies. Sometimes being an alicorn is simply not worth the perks of the job, no matter how nice.

The village of Nocturnis has grown slightly and is still growing, built into the southern jungles and forming the core of the rare thestral tribe.

However, forming a new town is not without its own dangers or troubles. Especially if built in a difficult location. But it’s not always the wildlife that’s the most troublesome.

Magic is real, and Derek is on the verge of unlocking its secrets. It doesn't matter that his best friend doesn't believe any of it, he'll still go along to his first real spell. Unfortunately for the two of them, the magic works a little too well.

Soon they're taken to a strange new world of supernatural horses, a world where intrigue and spellcraft are interwoven to an inescapable prison. An mysterious cult dedicated to the worship of the ancient Alicorns has finally brought two of the ancients back from banishment. Their spell didn't quite work out; they definitely expected the Old Gods to be a little... older.

If the two former humans want to have any hope of seeing their old world and old bodies again, they'll have to make quite an impression to their secret worshipers, or else find themselves at the mercy of the same Alicorn sisters who took over Equestria all those centuries ago.

That's only where their problems start. Growing up as a little pony in a town like Willowbrook might be the greatest challenge they've ever faced.

Love it or hate it, there is at least one universe where the idea of trapping your conscious mind inside of a virtual reality, governed by an artificial intelligence that doesn't take no for an answer, is successful en masse.

But we're not here to talk about that one. Let's look at a bunch of places and/or situations where such a development isn't feasible.

Inspired by a similar idea that tackled worlds where bureaucratic conversion into real, physically magical ponies would be quickly stopped or hindered.

I'm not convinced this will ever be "finished". It's a collection of what-ifs and hypotheticals. The number of ideas will just keep growing. My condolences to those of you waiting for the "Complete" tag before even starting to read.

The year is 2974. A year has passed since the end of the conversion war. Earth recovers from the war as the rest of the Milky Way's civilizations plan to end humanity and their allies. Unfortunately/fortunately for them, humans and their allies were teleported into a different place, into a galaxy far, far away.

"And we are absolutely certain that's a settlement? That Rhysling already has Indigenous populations?"

"Yes, Commander. There is no doubt. An engineer can fix the probe, but he would not know how to talk to them."

"Alright. Forget the engineer, then. Get me the linguist."
