You never forget your first day...
Brony in Black
"Good morning and welcome to the Pony Mesa Transit System. This automated train is provided for the security and convenience of the Pony Mesa Research Facility personnel. The time is 8:47 AM. Current topside temperature is 69 degrees with an estimated high of 75. The pony Mesa Compound is maintained at a pleasant..."
A slight swing of the train pulled me out of a nice nap, my forehead skin was ridiculously flattened from the extended contact with the windows - thanks God, the wagon was empty. I really wanted to avoid any unnecessary attention, It was just my first day after all.
"...Please remember to present your ID card for validation at the central lobby authentication system. Your security is essential to us. This train is equipped with high pres..."
I checked my pockets and found it; a small black card with a glossy white stripe crossing its surface. 'Level 5 Clearance' Said the bold letters carved on it. I looked to my hands and sighed
Believe me, It was everything but easy to reach my position. After almost two decades working for CIA, countless scars (physical and psychological ones), and burnt digits later - here I am; on 'Equestrian Security and Research Center', just a fancy name to the corporation who keeps those silly humans away from aliens. Well, not aliens 'aliens'. I mean, reptilians, grays, tentacles, and all this kind of shit is responsibility of the seventh division guys.
If I remember well, their names are K and J, I'm not sure though. Anyway, our job is kinda different, we just deal with the ponies.
Yeah, you heard that... Ponies
When I got accepted in the Equestrian Security, the veterans said that the first contact made with their species happened about twelve years ago, after a disastrous incident inside the LHC. Yes, that huge particle collider in Switzerland. Records say that a pink creature randomly spawned inside the facility.
God save their souls...
Needless to say, the government was forced to intervene. In the end they said it was a meteorological balloon, and everything went out just fine.
Nah, I'm just kidding - actually, they evacuated the site and filled the whole thing with concrete. The pony... Well, it would likely be dissected, but the creature somehow persuaded the scientists to throw a party with her.
Some talks, money, portals and parties later, we finally achieved a direct contact with their leader. I will not describe all that boring diplomatic stuff, but both sides agreed to keep secret about the other's existence. The human race wasn't prepared to deal with magic nor the ponies with bullets.
Unfortunately, the layer between our dimensions is uniquely thin and delicate, this way, peculiar disturbances tend to occur frequently after the LHC incident.
And hey! Here's where our division takes place; we keep ponies away from humans, and humans away from ponies. It may look simple, but believe me; it is not.
"Agent S, good to see you. Any problems during your trip down here?" My partner and guide - Johnson, greeted me as I tripped on the platform steps.
"N-no, not at all..." I chuckled awkwardly " So, how are you, John?" I shook his hand.
"Oh, I'm the same as ever, boy." He smiled "Sylvester, I must ask you to call me J2 from now on, for security reasons, you know."
"S-sure, sorry for that, I'm still-"
"There's no need to apologize, son." The veteran nudged me. "It was just a quick reminder. Now let's go, let me show you the place and give your equipment, I have a busy morning planned for you today."
'Oh well, that's great...'
As we made our way through the complex, agent J2 pointed, described and talked incessantly about absolutely everything; from the coffee shop to the parabolic-quantum portals. I half listened to him, but to be frank with you, I just wanted a pillow - Or maybe a cup of coffee.
"... And right there, behind those silver double doors is where we stock the gadgets used on- Agent S! Are you listening to anything I'm saying?" He abruptly stopped in front of the doors, I almost bumped against his back.
"Y-yes, yes - I'm listening, sorry for that... " I stuttered.
"Yeah, don't worry boy, this tend to happen with everyone in this place." He patted my shoulder "People say there's something in the air down here, you know? To cause us amnesia... Bullshit - Now come here, I'm gonna show you some little toys." With a snap of his fingers, the doors went open.
As we stepped inside the room, all lights came on simultaneously, revealing a huge matrix-like room, lined by dozens, if not hundreds of shelves, stacked high with everything you could imagine.
"Welcome to the Inventory!" He said.
Wasting no time, J2 started to zigzag through the corridors, looking for something, I presumed. But I just stood there in the doorway, dazzled by the sight.
"Feel free to walk around and explore, just try to be careful." His voice echoed as he vanished from sight. "Some artifacts are enhanced with magical attributes, 'gifts' from Princess Celestia."
Princess Celestia
Oh, I remember the first time I saw her picture. Good god, I've never imagined that an equine could be so graceful- Okay, before you go around thinking I had some weird crush on alien royalty, allow me to explain myself;
Even if I had a crush - I could never get even close to her, firstly because she was like an Equestrian equivalent to Queen Elizabeth - Immortals, you know? And second but not least important; for security reasons, human visits to their world were strictly restricted.
As a matter of fact, since the two dimensions made contact, just seven humans were allowed to get there - Not counting those ones who accidentally reached their realm somehow.
The same law is applied to Earth. Unlike other alien species coming from the same universe, Equestria is a completely different place, it has different physical laws and a surely different way of interpreting things. While our cosmos seems to work based upon chaotic laws, their one is the extreme opposite. Harmony, love and etc...
Anyway, there were dozens of reasons justifying as to why humans couldn't date with ponies. It's sad, I know, but things work like that.
*Bip Bip Bip Bip Bip*
"I swear, I didn't touched anything!" I quickly turned around, looking for an activated bomb or- whatever. But just found J2, laughing at me.
"Hang on S, it's just my beep." He pulled the device out of his pocket "By the way, your equipment is right there waiting for you." There were some widgets placed over a table.
"Equip yourself, I'm gonna see what Senior Redwood wants, I'll be right back." I just nodded.
As he left, I approached the table to check my new belongings; a strange looking gun - 'UnMagic' written on its stock, I've used this on training lessons, it's a magic inhibitor device. Very useful against unicorns.
There were also a couple of medical supplies and Equestrian healing potions; aside from the inter-dimensional traffic control, we still kept close contact with them - two human ambassadors lived in Canterlot (secretly of course) as well two unicorns here in the base.
Back to my equipment, I noticed that peculiar little thing -
A slightly small cane-looking object, it had a red gemstone on its base and a pony head at the top. Well, I could say more about this, but unfortunately, it's confidential. A 'privilege' given to us by Princess Twilight.
As I grabbed my things, agent J2 opened the doors in a hurry and directly headed to a cabinet in special. A large, sealed one.
"What- Hey man, what's happening?"
From his belt he retrieved a strange silver key, wasting no more time, he opened it. Throwing papers and small objects on the floor, he grabbed a massive dark gun - from god knows where - and attached it to his cross belt.
"Pack your things S, we have a 171 here."
[b"Hey wait, w-we have what?!"
I tried to follow him, J2 ran as if his life depended on it, when we finally stopped I was panting as a beaten dog. I looked around, we were on the launching pads chamber.
"W-what the hell is a 171??" I asked, still slightly breathless. Ignoring my question, he just threw me inside one of the cabins.
"Hold your arms against your chest agent S, we must be quick now, Lyra came to earth again."

Interesting concept here... Haven't seen one of these in a while
makeameme.org/media/created/YOU-HAD-MY.jpg
Please do not lose it friend. You seem to have a promising story here.
Edit: Not a bad start to be honest. Just wish that the chapter wasn't so short. Could maybe use an editor or another run through the typewriter to add more details and such to help set the atmosphere and tone.
Was listening to the song all the while reading.
Damnit! Someone else did this first.
Ah well, god job.

Man, I was about to write a story just like this. Oh well, I guess I'll have to change things here and there. Good luck on your story and keep up with the good work.
The Twilight Cane will never be stopped.
This has started splendidly, Good job.
First chapter and i laughed so hard with the final, i never expected it! So this is the same universe with J and K?
4044367 Yep, the 'brony in black' guys are just from some kind of special branch of MIB
4044569 Now we are talking
, so when i should expect the next chapter because this is awesome?
4044625 This really depends of my brain cooperation, but I would say... Around Saturday at night / Sunday by the morning.
WHO ELSE BUT LYRA?!
You have a lot of small errors, usually using the wrong variant of a word. It might help if you wrote this with spellcheck and then pasted it into the FIMFiction page.
Other than that, the story looks interesting.
4046916 Thanks, I'll do that
4047017 Wonderful story concept & I can't wait to read more.
Kinda glad Pinkie was Equestria's first ambassador to earth; can only imagine how that went down...
"Soooo, you want to cut me open and look around my insides to see how I work? Silly, my insides just let me throw parties...and eat cupcakes! Here, I'll show you!"
Which was followed by one wild, albeit TV-Y7, party later...
Maybe it's just me, but I would have skipped this intro altogether and cut straight to some wiseass human teenager getting caught by the BIB in Equestria, and them mind-flashing everypony. No explanation to start, just straight to the good stuff. From there, the explanations can occur. That would make the story more exciting from the outset, and convey much better the premise. Showing, not telling.
