That is, until ponies who kiss beneath the mistletoe start developing strange, disturbing symptoms of an unknown sickness ...

Her Majesty's Starship Philomena is a generational ship designed to save ponies from the devastation of Equus and ferry them to a new world. The trip will take 150 years: the first generation will carry on the memory of the old world, and the third will set hoof on the new world.
The second generation is ash and engine grease: those born in darkness and destined to die in darkness, who will never know the bounteous fruits of which the hydroponic gardens bear only echoes and promises. Twilight Sparkle is one such middle link, tasked with maintaining the hardware of the ship's onboard AI, Celestia.

At the request of Dr. Quest Colton, the following data logs and observation notes have been compiled about the case study surrounding Subject 1 and the highly infectious anomoly that now plagues ponies in the hundreds. It is the doctor's hope that these files will eventually help us find a cure before all of Equestria suffers this horrific end. Subjects 2, 3, 4, and 5 are also presenting troubling afflictions and will be recieving case studies of their own. Princess Twilight's sudden death could not have come at a worse time for us all.

The separation of Earth Ponies, Unicorns, and Pegasi after Twilight's downfall should not have happened overnight.
But thanks to a startup biotech company called Canterlogic Pre-Natal Technologies, it did.
This is a story of how Canterlogic grew into the largest company in post-Twilight Equestria, and the ponies affected along the way.
The main chapter takes place in G5 Equestria, roughly a century before Sunny Starscout's time.
WARNING: This is probably the most emotionally difficult story I've had to write. This story contains discussion of eugenics which readers may find highly disturbing. THIS IS A WORK OF FICTION. THE VIEWS EXPRESSED IN THIS STORY DO NOT REFLECT THAT OF THE AUTHOR.
Time after time, through chaos and through wars, Princess Celestia prevailed.
Of all the terrible forces she could have fallen to, Flim Flam Industry was the last one anypony had expected.
