Please, don't be alarmed. if you are, at least, which you may not be. If you are alarmed, try not to be; otherwise, continue being unalarmed and most likely bored by this point. What you have accessed is the combined memory banks of a rather famous group of ponies. Each one of them brought something new to the wastes, and shaped the waste as best they could until they were ended. One built a computer system by which the knowledge of the past might still be kept. Another fashioned weapons of precision and power as had not been attempted since the Great War. Still another built a government from the ideals of republic. Their projects have influence ponies across generations, though not all are remembered for their goodness. Still, As diverse as this group was, all of its members held one thing in common. They all kept rather good care of their memories, such good care that even now, years after their passing, we have a detailed account of their every action. year upon year of memories, sorted and kept safe now inside this machine, ready to be accessed by those of real worth. Only those of true worth to the world will be given access to these memories. They hold power and wisdom not meant for everypony. Rather, the curious and dedicated can gain access to these archives through their own work. By viewing this page, you have been given the right to experience some of the magic that these memories hold. Should you continue in your curiosity, more memories may be provided, subject to a reevaluation of your Grade. Now, let me end these tiresome legalities so that we make speech about the real reason you are here. There are currently 48 memory banks stored on this station. Each details the life of one individual who's projects have left an indelible mark on the rest of ponykind. Your grade of 2 gives you access to the personal files of Arch/Nexus, a zebra born a mere 12 years previous to the Great War. His diverse experiences previous to and during the Great War provide a fantastic view into life as it was. Early records are a bit scarce, but as we approach the Great War the memories become more consistent and allow one to experience entire months. Eventss are arranged in chronological viewing order where ever possible. Sections of interest to you will be highlighted specifically. Please, enjoy your use of the Eternity Memory Bank System.
