Prologue


Doctor Bright Future,

By royal decree of Princess Celestia, you are hereby ordered to cease any and all work on Project Spark. Canterlot’s planners recognize your commitment to the cause, but the Griffon War is drawing to a close, and it has been decided that the continued existence of Project Spark during peacetime poses a significant potential threat to all. Once work has ceased, you are to destroy all documents which mention Project Spark or Site Echo. You will then proceed to collapse the facility. These steps are necessary to ensure that the subjects of Project Spark are never exposed to the world. Once demolition is complete, report to Princess Celestia. You will be transferred to a civilian institute for the remainder of your career. Once again, it is imperative that Site Echo is destroyed. Do not make any effort to preserve it. Such actions will be considered a blatant disregard of royal orders, and you will be convicted of treason. The Canterlot War Planning Staff thanks you for your service to Equestria in this time of need, and wishes you the best of luck in your future career. 

Very Respectfully,

General Spear Point

Destroy Site Echo; those were the orders. They were clear, plain, and simple, and the consequences were clearly spelled out. Four days later, dust clouds rose into the skies over the Southern Badlands as an obscure cliff face collapsed into the valley below. Nine days later, the Griffons signed a peace treaty, marking the end of Equestria’s longest and bloodiest conflict- the Great Griffon War. 

And thirty-two years later, Project Spark stirred from slumber.
