George Voss is cynical, misanthropic, and world-weary, his only joy being ponies.
And unfortunately for the rest of us, he’s been chosen by the Equestrian government to represent humanity so Celestia can decide whether to make contact with planet Earth.

A short deconstruction of some first contact tropes.

This story is a sequel to Reunited

Six years.

For six years she has slept in a coma and now she has awakened. The entire world wants her to die for her crimes. Equestria wants her to die for her lies. Even I will admit I just want to see her die so I can move on with my life.

But before I say goodbye to my mentor, the former Princess Celestia, I have to ask her one question.

Why? Why did she do all this? Why transport us from Equestria to Earth? Why try to turn Humanity into Ponies?

All I want is the truth.

Based on The Conversion Bureau series.

AJ Pony's review

The Great Freeze. Was it our hubris in controlling the sun, or was it that others started to covet that control? At this point, the whos and the whys don’t change anything. Our star is dying, and those responsible for it are long dead. Their causes and motives, lost to all but a few.

For the past hundred years, our sun has been growing dimmer, kept alive only by Celestia’s constant efforts. But not even she nor the legion of magi and scientists can stop the inevitable.

Our only choice is to flee to a new world, one that could give our doomed species a second chance. The Seeding colony ship is that chance. There are so many worth saving, and yet so very few seats.

May our children never forget the sacrifice of those we leave behind.

~Excerpt from Princess Twilight Sparkle’s journal three days before Seeding.

While this fic will borrow heavily from Beyond Earth, it will be written so that you do not have to know anything about BE to enjoy the story.

After the explosion in Canterlot that sent all the changelings flying, Hrit realizes that he is not going to survive the landing. This is cause for some deep soul-searching. If he even has one, that is.

Originally written for the July 2013 Contest for the SFNW, but the contest never materialized, and I just got around to posting it now.

(Placed on a temporary hiatus! However it will NOT be forgotten, and will be updated once I have a few more chapters fixed and polished.)
----
The day we opened the portal was the day we opened the gates of Tartarus and unleashed an unending horde of flesh eating abominations which quickly gained 'control' of Canterlot, devouring its residents.

Some were lucky enough to simply die while other unfortunate victims rose up as emotionless monsters, ready to follow the mindless horde in search of warm blood and fresh meat to sate they're new never ending hunger.

Now they march across Equestria with the goal of devouring anything they can get their bloodied hooves or hands on.

And I'll be damned if I let myself or Spike fall into their cold, dead grasp.

TVTropes page yay!A human arrives with a house in Ponyville. The Mane Six, and Princess Luna must deal with this new arrival. But not everyone agrees how it should be handled, not everyone agrees on what danger it represents, or the benefit it can be to Equestria.

The inhabitant must also deal with the new rules and conventions of this new world it knows nothing about, as well as the mystery of its appearance, and the incongruities of its arrival.
TVTropes page yay!

This story is a sequel to The Conversion Bureau EarthGate Saga: Through the EarthGate

Book2B of the EarthGate Saga.
The Star Officers, lead by Admiral Sevin Truax XCVIII of the Hierarchical Stellar Empire (male)
The Funesti, lead by Governess Susan N‘Gahli CII of the Confederation of Funestia
The Observers, lead by President Tom Seminazzi C of the Observant Confederation
These three nations are of human decent, and as such are very ticked off about Earth's current state. They start to eagerly rally around the Clerisy's Crusade to heal the Earth. With their combined strength, they will bring down judgement upon the Equestrian Oppressors.

Lapis Opal Amethyst, youngest of the three children of the late Rubeus Obsidian Diamond, is a private in the Equestrian Special Forces. But after a promotion from Celestia herself, Lapis finds herself under a lot of pressure to live up to her family name. What will become of this Crystal hybrid?

Trixie was one of the ponies to openly support the Anti-potion movements. As such, she is currently on the run, constantly searching for a safe haven where she can be safe from Celestia's clutches. Will she find her safe haven in time?

Book 1: In 2095 A.D., the US launched the first Colony Ship, headed for Centaurus: a planet in Alpha Centauri's habitable zone. The ultimate space race had been won. 40,000 Americans would arrive in ten years and found the first human colony outside our system, all for America. But in 2100, the ship vanished. The "Lost Colony" was never found.

6000 years later, the colonists found a way home from the system the accident sent them to: one of four human nations forged from the survivors of the crash had opened the EarthGate, giving them control over contact with Earth, which they visited immediately, only to find something had beaten them to the cradle of humanity and had wiped all traces of humanity from its surface,

(The Saga now has it's own group! You can find it here! The forums has information on the details of the Alternate Universe, and anyone can join. You can only contribute if you're ranked higher than user, though.

A crossover between Sid Meier's Civilization II: Test of Time's Scifi mode (it's a really awesome experience for those of you who haven't played it. Plus, Scifi mode is already a crossover between Civ and Master of Orion!) and The Conversion Bureau! Earth fell to ponification in 8080 A.D., only twenty years before the Lost Colony opened the gateway home. This was going to be a single fic, but due to a suggestion from Safhell, who preread the chapters I have at the time of posting this, it's being split into a saga! This first story is the introduction, and from there, the story will split into multiple paths following different characters and situations during the ensuing conflict until a conclusion fic is added to end the saga with the grand finale! (If you guys don't like the idea of it being a saga instead of a standalone, let me know, and if enough of you are against the saga idea, I'll just merge them all into this fic).

Please leave constructive criticism for anything I could do better, for I know this fic is far from perfect. Just remember that a lot of things use the mindset present in all Sid Meier's Civilization games, so logic is a bit skewed at times when compared to how things work in the real world (such as the colony ship being all citizens of the nation that launched it and not multinational. It's just how Sid designed the games).
