Formerly The Conversion Bureau: A New Age, A New Life

In the year 2080, Humanity sits at a crossroads. Technological innovations have advanced to the point to where most mundane tasks can be accomplished by machines, as well as the nano-scale manufacture of most materials. However, the greed of a few and the lingering ecological devastation to get to said point leaves humanity on the precipice of nothing short of a society-ending cataclysm.

Seeing this, visitors from another world wish to aid Humanity along this crossroad. Unfortunately, due to circumstances beyond any's control, there is no recourse for moving any human off-world, so any disaster could potentially overwhelm any assistance Equestria can render.

Actually... there is one option those of Earth have if they wish to leave. Though is it an option that anyone would even accept existing, let alone take advantage of?

And what happens when an ancient entity sees said option as the first step in correcting a grave error she had committed so many eons ago?

ARC I: A New Beginning (Chapters 1 - 4) -- Introduces the feature characters of Part I for the most part.
ARC II: A New (Old) Magic (Chapters 5-14) -- The Conversions of the Four Conduits and their trails in re-igniting Terran Magic.
ARC III: A New Movement (Chapters 15+) -- Magic is unsealed on Earth, and the various extra-governmental groups begin to form.

General Story Notes:

1) This is a general rewrite of The Conversion Bureau: A New Age, A New Life. While the general plot outline will (hopefully) remain the same; specific interactions and characterizations will be clarified, modified, or outright reworked in order, to I feel, better facilitate my storytelling.

2) Once the original chapters (which can be downloaded from here as an EPUB or as a PDF ) are done being rewritten, Part II will be merged into this story space and that second one will be formally deleted.

3) If you are so inclined, I've also preserved all the original comments on the story as they were posted immediately before initial chapter deletion (viewable here)

4) While the general tone of the story is general flavors of adventure, there are some long phases of slice of life and world building. Because for whatever reason the Administration decided that Slice of Life and Adventure are mutually exclusive tagging-wise.

5) The Equestria (and the wider world of Equestria which I term Equus) is a heavily modified Equestria from the end of Season 2. Therefore consider it an Alternate Universe that runs mostly parallel with canon from S1 and S2; though I always reserve the right to use any bits from S3 or the ongoing S4.

6) Yes this is still a TCB story, but I feel that the grouping, my own statements, and the plot itself would kinda beat that into people's heads, so including it the title was just further redundancy.

WARNING To New Readers: Any canon character used is subject to MY Personal interpretation of that character. If you believe this is a problem in any specific scene or in general, do not be afraid to ask how or why I am using a character a certain way. I actually like the discussions in these regards.

This is a story of the messed world of the Conversion Bureau Universe and one man's dream of leaving Earth to seek a better life on mars.

1 and a half years after the Conversion Bureaus first opened, everyone has picked a side. But an attempt is made on Celestia's life, by one of her own subjects. Who is this pony? Why does he think Celestia killed him? And what is his story? T for Mild Violence and Language.

A long time ago, humans walked the earth. They're all gone now, either dead or turned to ponies by the many "Conversion Bureaus." Now it's the ponies that govern the world, led by their goddesses, Princess Luna and Princess Celestia. Very few remember or give much thought to the days of humanity.

But sometimes things don't die very easily. Sometimes things linger, even if it's just a memory or a legend. Sometimes when an egregious injustice has been left unchecked, even a pony can get very angry.

On the crew of the White Rose there are many such angry ponies, led by Firebrand. These are young students who have perceived an injustice and are determined to blow everything open with one blazing truth.

Based on "The Conversion Bureau."

A "Naruto" crossover. Rather then dying at his brother's hands Itachi is instead sent to a world wholly unfamiliar to him, will he finally find peace within himself among the ponies of Equestria?

The Conversion Bureau genre was created on March 23rd, 2011. I chose to celebrate the anniversary of the humble origins of one of the most potent and unique of all MLP:FIM subgenres of fanfiction through the invention of completely original, shockingly new visions of the central concept.

Visit a universe where Luna and Celestia are mountain-sized supercomputers. A universe where the Singularity is defined by a toy in a dead man's hands. A universe where Mankind has spread to the stars and the latest fashion is designer bodies. See the Conversion Bureau in new guises, through fresh eyes, as never before.

Ponies love order and predictability. They feel comfortable in a position of control over nature, weather, magic and the movement of the sky. Change is frightening. Perfection is paramount. When ponies begin to feel like they are losing control of these things and perfection is slipping out of their hooves, they look for something to blame. They are certain it can only be some malicious force of evil. Little do they know, their unwitting culprits will come falling right out of the sky. What ensues is a long and perilous struggle to reconcile the conflicting views and beliefs of two very different civilizations.

It is the year 2038, and the Earth is slowly being consumed by a space-borne monstrosity dubbed the Black Tide, which is using nanotechnology to remake the planet into something hideously alien.

Erin Olsen works for Project Harmonics, humanity's last-ditch effort to find a new world before the Tide can wipe them out. But when that world is found, and it turns out to be occupied, Erin will need to find the courage to face the unknown in order to save the inhabitants of both worlds.
