This story is a sequel to Log of the UNS Twilight Sparkle

In her quest to reach Twilight Sparkle, Sunset Shimmer must accept that new frontiers aren't always safe.

Note: this is actually a prequel, but you really need to read Log of the UNS Twilight Sparkle first to understand this.

“I really like what you have done here. You have taken the wonder for the unknown and the strive for a better tomorrow from the science fiction genre, and molded it with FiM perfectly.”

— The Observer

By the year 2238, two-thirds of humanity have become "ponies', living in an online virtual reality paradise where everything they could ask for is theirs to have at a moment's notice. It is a world of freedom, where all biological needs are eliminated and you can live forever doing whatever it is that pleases you.

But for some, Equestria can seem less a paradise and more a prison, an artificial and manufactured place where nothing is real and everything is a simulated lie to make you feel comfortable. Perhaps, even the feelings of the mare sitting next to you holding your hoof. How could you ever be sure even your own feelings are truly yours if you're just a program stored on a server?

Does living in Equestria mean Twilight Sparkle has to choose between her heart and her soul?

Does Twilight like Sunset back? Can Sunset man-up and get her date?

For most people, BitHub is just a version-control service, used to share and track changes in code.

For this and many other reasons, Twilight Sparkle is not most people.

An entry into the Pride and Positivity event.

Rarity has a lot of different mannerisms. But kissing someone on the cheek? Sunset had only seen her do it a few times, and never to her. She could have written it off as a friendly gesture if her magic hadn’t flared up and caused her to see the truth behind Rarity’s actions.

Now... what the hell is Sunset feeling?

Valentine’s Day is here and Sunset Shimmer couldn’t be more miserable, seeing as she’s the lone member of her group of friends with no significant other to spend the day with. Then a series of mysterious love letters begin appearing around her. Who’s behind this, and is it even a singular answer?

Takes place before Friendship Games.
