Moonatik takes a small tape recorder out of the desk. A tape is already loaded into the device. “Listen to this,” he says. He presses the 'play' button, and a raspy voice comes from the speaker.

“The 15th of April 991! The day that I, Rainbow Dash, did the impossible and performed the one-of-a-kind sonic rainboom! It all started when my good friend Fluttershy was being picked on by some pea-brained bullies, and I stood alone against all odds to defend her honour by challenging them to a race. Needless to say, I won, but more than that, I flew so fast that I broke the sound barrier! That’s, what, nearly eight hundred miles an hour? I was a kid at the time! The rainboom? Ponies as far away as Manehattan saw it! Rainbooms are like second nature to me now, I can fly up to speed to do one no problem.”

“What else happened on that day? Uhh… Look, I’m not an egghead, alright? I don’t waste time with that kinda thing. Wait, lemme just… Okay, this old newspaper my Mom and Dad kept from the day says that Princess Celestia had to call off entrance exams at her fancy school for unicorns to stop famine in Seveynana. No, Severyana. Jeez, why’d they even call it that? Is that name even Equestrian? Probably a big deal to the ponies there, but everyone else in Equestria remembers it because of the rainboom!”

The recording stops.

“Depending on whether you're a knower or not, this is either the biggest most important piece of information about understanding this world or totally nothing. So, are you a knower?” Moonatik turns away from you and looks off to the side. “Does he know!?” He turns back to you. “Sorry I had to lol. Anyway.”
