//------------------------------// // Log 4067: Thinking with portals // Story: Lab Horse // by TheMajorTechie //------------------------------// I highly doubt that I'll have time to log each and every second of each day now. I've been testing the portal, casting "spells" on it, and once or twice even accidentally lighting something on fire. And yes, Twilight did make it look easy when she simply forced open the portal. While she just happened to pull random parts from some closet or box or something off screen and made the portal work just like that, I've gotten a contract to use an experimental room-sized particle accelerator to closely track the effects of what could possibly come from traversing dimensions. In order for me to "pop" from this universe to the next, I've essentially got to maneuver myself through the theoretical tenth dimension, which holds every possibility of every possible timeline of every possible universe, and so on. But even then, I still have to figure out exactly which universe I come from. It'd be pretty weird if I ran into myself in a universe where I never left Equestria. Though, I do have my DNA sequence that I can track through each universe. Even in alternate universes, no two strands of DNA should be the same, according to what I've worked out in my head. Along with that, I can additionally narrow it down to find universes containing traces of my DNA that lack my physical presence, and from there I'd simply have to pick out the one with the correct timeline. As for Hagen, he's told me that the medics plan on sending Delmar with me, since his mental state is still in shambles. And according to them, a place like Equestria would be perfect for healing his mind. But then comes the question of what would happen once I arrive in Equestria. In the movie, the portal turns ponies into humans, and vice-versa. I'm not entirely sure if that would be the case with my own portal, but frankly, as long as I'm in Equestria, I'm fine with it. As for Delmar, it'd be interesting to see him as a pony. Oh, and also, considering as to how my baby self probably didn't use a network of quantum computers, particle accelerators, and loads of government funding to get here, I'm starting to get a bit suspicious on whether or not I was sent to this universe on purpose, like some sort of banishment on the highest possible level or whatever. Though, for all I know, it might just be Discord. Either way, I did also have to make a promise to help create a trade deal between Equestria and Earth through a scaled-up version of my portal once I make contact. After all, what government would throw money into a portal-building project without expecting returns? And this portal is designed to be two-way, after all. I'll just sit here and hope things go well. ... ... Well freakin' geez. I just realized that I'm barely even in my pre-teen years yet, and I'm already the second in charge in the construction of a device that literally transverses reality.
