My life, dignity, and voice were all stolen from me, and these Equines think themselves my betters. I aim to prove them wrong. Social consequences be damned, I WILL HAVE MY PANTS!

Talk about moving up in the world...
I'm really excited to see this fic moving again. This was actually the first story of this type that I had read.
Also nice to see Peter getting his agenda advanced as well.
Dat description is priceless.
5710775 It was hard to try and coordinate with the collab author. I feel like if we weren't constantly checking each other's work on this chapter, I could have put it out faster, but without the interesting tie-in.
Wow, did not see that coming. Anymore intelligent humans gonna show up? I imagine soldiers ending up in this story and becoming Twilight's personal human guards. First thing that popped into my mind. SPETSNAZ!!!
...Really Dude? Bit of an over-reaction, don'cha think? "Wow, this talking, completely friendly creature can breathe fire! Me better hide behind chair for to be safe!" *Makes frantic monkey sounds while filling hand with poop*
Anyway, I hope you actually have the sun question be asked of Twilight and shown; it's a good scene and I always like reading other's explanations for Equestria's sun and moon.
Also, this is more for future references, but you should try to avoid crossing your stories with those of other people if said people don't look like they are going to finish it. It can basically put your own story on a sort of hiatus as they leave their end unresolved.

pssh, then he needs to go to the badlands, because the people there accept change(es).

I'll keep that in mind. I actually haven't been able to get in contact with the other guy for a few weeks. I finally posted my chapter because I was tired of waiting.
Finally, a job.
I hate your choice in cover art,
But the chapter was great. Really moving along the story
Celestia knows a unique opportunity when she sees it
Shouldnt he have asked for opinions in why he can't seem to be able to speak anymore?
That seems like a pretty big issue.
5711809 ....Meh,Freeman seemed to do just fine.
5711993
What's up with captain fedora Mceuphoriapants?
Great to see this update again. I love the new cover image. The essence of That Guy is strong in him.
I'm going to call this a substantial improvement over the original YHaY.

hth stand for hand-to-hand.
5713241 While jumping over a bear on a unicycle and a 125mm HEAT shell fired from a T-90 jumping from a ramp with Su-25s strafing it which is also being fired upon by a Zu-23-4 Shilka which is being fired upon by a Slava-Class Cruiser which is avoiding torpedos from a Oscar II Submarine which is trying to avoid seamines. All while Vladimir Putin is riding a bear while playing the flute.
"These gases are compressed to the point they ignite and burn"
My science, it hurts.
5714140
I think it's an adequate explanation for a guy who has no real background in traditional science.
Just one thing... Will his voice ever return?
That was fun, may I have another? Looking forward to more.
Keep up the good work. Deus tecum.
good job keep it up see you next chapter
5744070 I was trying to imply that he was under alot of pressure and the pants ripping was what pushed him over the edge.
5744612
Thats... a good question. My only answer would be because outside of hardcore businessmen, most folks today just use their phone as a timepiece. Smartphones are already super PDAs, and they automatically link up with satillites, so they're pretty much set up straight out of the box. Why pay an extra $15-$30 for a more simple device that you don't necessarily need?
You are showing as recently updated but there is no chapter.
5785744
Sorry, I accidentally hit the publish button when I only had a few paragraphs written. Disregard the update.
5785787
Oh thank goodness, I was seeing the 576 word count and going: Really? It's still nice to have the reminder that you're still breathing. Looking forward to the next chapter and all that!
5785865 Yeah, sorry about that. I'll try and get it done soon... ish...
5975947
No, he was still trying to wrap his head around the idea of the royal siblings' abilities and style of rule. Being a political scientist, he naturally wants to understand how Equestrian government could essentially destroy every idea we have on how political bodies work.

It may very well require re-wording, should I ever go through a firm re-writing of this story. I try to take note when characters are acting or reacting in a manner inconsistent with my designs for them.
5976033 I intend for it to be a positive, and I realize now just how convoluted a plot dive the manticore battle was. In the possible future rewrite, I'll probably change it. As much as the possible sequel is about a war, Peter isn't quite a proper warrior, and as many have pointed out, would be smart enough not to merely charge into such a situation so blindly.
3 mooooooonths.... so another update soon?
5986289
Should be. Sorry for the wait. Got that ever ambiguous stuff going on. I'll try to get the update out by next week.
5986663 "ever ambiguous" as in trying to get grades up last week. I know you're a procrastinater, we all are
Not exactly correct. They're actually compressed to the point that it is literally impossible for them to blow up, and instead, the gravity well forces the atoms to fly around with such speed and frequency that not only is the core of the sun actually liquid, but also the perfect place for nuclear fusion to occur, as the atoms are moving at speeds that would normally cause them to fly apart (about 299,793 kilometres per second), but are in such great quantity and additive mass that they can't.
Physics lesson over, back to reading for me.
your character got how the sun works wrong by the way, ignition doesn't = nuclear fusion
I think you mean sentient.
WRONG!!! Stars are composed of plasma, the fourth state of matter. NOT gas. The 2 main elements found in the sun as well as all of stars, are hydrogen and helium3.
6344823
He was describing the formation of the star, and he wasn't wrong. The gasses don't become plasma until after the star ignites.
And do you really want to explain plasma to an uneducated pony?
Quick question. Why was Richard introduced if he did absolutely nothing at all? Didn't speak, didn't write, only a nod of the head. Would've been cool if Peter and Richard actually communicated with each other or something.
Exactly what I would do.
6344776
Actually sapience is the correct term to use. Most people accidentally use sentience INSTEAD of sapience but here the author used the correct word. Which makes me happy because mixing up sapience with sentience is a pet peeve of mine.
Now a more pressing question to the author...
This an every single other time in the following conversation that the refereed to Peter with plural pronouns... was this intentional or a mistake... Because once is an accident, the entire conversation is suspicious. Though do to the fact that no one called the speakers out on the prospect of multiple intelligent humans makes me think it was a mistake.
I see that you broke away from MadMax's original plan of having Discord held responsible, plus making him a total jerk murderer, while also having this story set after season 4, instead of season 3 as it was the case in the original story, since Twilight already has her Friendship Castle.
I do like that.
One aspect that I really appreciate as well is that he was smart enough to underline his level of intelligence, by humming melodies and songs.
Despite Discord's magic at work on Max's throat in the the original 'YHAY' story, humming should not have been impossible for him to use in order to communicate, or at least make others aware of his intelligence.
Humming after all doesn't count as as talking or speaking, so the magic shouldn't have affected Max, it's a great loophole really, the same goes even more for 'whistling'.
For whistling tunes, you don't even need to use your throat, as most of the work is done solely by your tounge and wind rushing past it (the out blowing of air from your loungs), while controlling the the size of your mouth's opening.
That said, Max could have easily wistled or hummed his tunes away, that may not help with the talking but it would defenitly have helped him to make Celestia for example, aware of himself and his sapience much earlier (the scene where she drags him around in the castle, after 'purchasing' him from the poachers, as he continously tries to reach the feather and paper to write something down).
Another well done chapter, hahaha, nicely done! Nicely done.
Things are going well for dear Peter here, mmmmmmmmm...
Nicely done.
So relieved Celestia didn't turn out to be an evil misanthrope. I hate that cliche.
Never understood why the 'get a job' routine is so popular in Human in Equestria stories. Try to imagine space aliens crashing landing on Earth, being taken in by the government. Try to imagine them insisting that they wanted a to job pay their own way through things. It's not like we'd point them to the nearest McDonald's to go apply.
And especially in a case like this, where the alien in question is unable to speak and happens to resemble a local semi-dangerous animal for which there's standing law requiring they they be neutered when found as strays, and incidentally has demonstrated unknown and superior technology. Are you really going to risk antagonizing an advanced alien species by having one of their first contact guests be corralled and castrated? I don't think so.
"Egads! I must pay for the food I eat!" is utterly unimportant in a situation like this.
Doesn't make much sense from the human point of view either. Imagine you're the alien who's "crash landed" on the alien world. They have magic and can fly and you can't and you look like the local dog-equivalent and don't even so much as speak the local language. Do you really think you're going to casually go get a day job in that kind of scenario? Are you really going to be useful as a "royal adviser" to a species you don't know on a planet you've only been on for a few days, where you don't know the society, the culture, the local powers, the laws, etc?
I don't think so.
You know this isn't the first time but for a "former Marine" he sure is a coward.

what, you expect a marine to stand in front of a flamethrower pointed at him and not be nervous? bruh
