At the forefront of every change to ever come upon us as a species, there have been those who are willing to readily stand against it... and those who will readily fight those who oppose it. The entirety of human history itself is an example of this, and as long as there are those willing to refuse change, there will always be those who are willing to enforce it, no matter the consequence.
And so, at the pinnacle of humanity's Space Renaissance in the year CE 2051, the mighty influence of change was suddenly felt throughout the entire world. An anomaly: an unknown physical possibility prior to its existence, suddenly existed off the coast of Hawaii, and threatened to consume the earth, and the rest of the Solar System with it. It came to be known as the Friedrich Singularity: a portal to a parallel universe which in some ways seemed very much like our own, however, in other ways, this parallel universe seemed to differ from ours in every impossible way imaginable. The only way to pass through the portal, however, was to become one of the parallel universe's own in order to survive the harsh nature of their world. For once, regardless of race, gender, social status, economical status, political status, or otherwise, the entirety of mankind was faced with a single choice: convert, or die. For some, other ways of surviving the impending apocalypse existed in their minds. However, deep inside, they understood the choice that they would have to eventually make. The universe is nothing if not unpredictable.
The Ponies, the dominant sentient race of their world, offer conversion as a "simple" alternative to the end of the world. Conversion promises friendship, harmony, and a peaceful existence for all of those who wish to live on. However, one thing is for certain: Everybody lies.
To one young Nathan Frost struggling to cope with his new-found changes, these two worlds, and those who inhabit them, offer him nothing but pain and misery. Even his parents have seemingly abandoned him in his only time of need. He finds himself unsure of his alliances, which leaves only his truest friends standing by his side.
As is the nature of the world, change once again holds Humanity in its clutches, and as organizations rise up to oppose change... There will always be those who rise up to enforce it.
And soon enough, Nathan Frost will discover that he's smack in the middle of it.
Welcome to Project Vanguard, citizen. The world is changing, so why not help it along?
