Thomas, a human, has appeared in the magical land of Equestria, though it is much different from the show. Ponies of this world are all anthros. What's more, Thomas has been assigned as Princess Luna's royal concubine.

now this was a fun chapter
Good chapter. Jet seriously should consider talking to someone about her apparent racism against Humans. Speaking of which, why is she so racist against them? Is there a specific reason?
Loving the progression!
the latest fun stuff in quantum Mechanics and many other fields is Random Matrix Theory. You make up a matrix of the structure you want to investigate, then for a starting point, you fill it with random numbers.
Turns out the best distribution to randomly samle from is the Gaussian.
Thing is, the easiest way for the average gamer to generate a random value from a gaussian distribution, is roll 3D6.
Einstein:God does not play dice with the universe.
Hawking:God not only plays dice, theyre often rolled where they cant be seen.
Gygax:Roll for Inititive.

Yeah, I noticed that too. At first, I figured the bat was distrustful of Thomas because of the perceived danger human can potentially cause to the more naive race of ponies. Here, she is outright prejudiced against Thomas and humans in general for no reason. That would conflict with her job.
Well, Jet seems to have noticed that it doesn't make sense to be hating the good ideas from people she thinks are evil. It doesn't mean she'll stop hating everything else about Tom, but maybe she'll accept milking him for ideas, eventually.
11382688
Glad you thought so.

They're aliens from another universe with world-ending weapons, nasty tempers, and they interact with this world's magic in as yet unknown and potentially dangerous ways. Oh, and ponies have ancient legends that vary wildly, but largely paint the species as not very nice. Wouldn't you give someone like that the side eye?
11382826
Likewise.
11382831
Did I accidentally reference advanced science? Cool.
11382836
My intention was the perceived danger. However, if racism is what everyone else sees, then I suppose I can work with that.
11382845
She's pragmatic to a fault. Empathy isn't a factor.
11382873
I wouldn't want her character to be relegated to being racist. It wouldn't make sense since she is professional with Thomas. I think it was just this one instance where Jet seems racist in this chapter. Maybe put more emphasis on her being wary of the perceived threat part.
11382879
She's proud, very nationalistic, largely pragmatic, and very low on empathy. Equestria is the greatest nation in the world, and she'll do what she can to keep it that way. If that means taking on foreign ideas, she'll begrudgingly do so. If that means killing the illegal alien...
11382873
I mean, I dunno if hating has much to do with empathy, but you wrote her seeing something about her behaviour that was out of character for her to her own perspective, if she wants to be clinical about things.
11382974
Everything's in flux. I'm a discovery-type writer, which means even I'm not sure what's going to happen.
Once more a good chapter one I can't help but feel good for seeing and reading. Hmm but I must admit, I am still very wary of this Jet and those she works for and with. I really hope Luna would stand in the way if they were to ever try something. I dare hope she isn't on board with their plans.

Illegal? He works for Luna as her Head Concubine and I’m 90% sure that he was officially made a legal citizen. Wasn’t it mentioned when he and Moonlight went on that date to the zoo?
So that wouldn’t be her killing an illegal alien, it would be her murdering a legal immigrant and citizen of her nation.
Interesting,not what i was expecting
11382892
That... sounds similar to the outlook of the ponies in another fanfic series, not saying anything or the like. Just something i noticed. It was in a series called Negotiationsverse. In it we see what a mindset can do.
i cast majic missle on the darkness.
whut happen?
11383338
Thanks, and you are definitely not alone in that sentiment. However, that's the scary thing about Jet. She's either smart enough to wait for an opportunity when Luna isn't around, or she's zealous enough to act regardless of the consequences. Anything could happen, and you'll just have to keep reading to see ;P
11383874
That was a bit of a joke. He may have been nationalized through executive privilege, but he's still technically an illegal alien.
11384354
A general sentiment. Glad you liked it.
11386329
Neat.

Apparently, you might get a college grant to do research.
The irony abounds that I have just watch a YouTube video on Purple Dragons and quoted the very same movie.
Or we are all massive nostalgia nerds.
Oh, what the Tartarus, FOR FIREBALL!!!!!!!

*shifts glasses up noes*
I am purfursur Wizaerd. fear me.
Considering the organisation Jet works for is basically pony CIA it's not only probable by kind of expected that they would employ ponies with her...psychological profile.
'Most questions will be stupid, as is their nature, but I suspect that plenty will be worth considering.'
Too bad Thomas didn't pounce on that with something like, "There's another box. A human would say that the only truly stupid question is the one that remains unasked."
11416495
Indeed Considering we humans have done plenty of seemingly impossible stuff because we didn't say this is what is but ask how can I make it real?. We worked at the impossible and sometimes i hope that one those Sci fiction stories where someone goes beyond the moon and maybe meets other species out there among the stars isn't fiction one day.
The interesting thing about Jet in this chapter, I think, is that she comes across as self-aware enough to potentially work her way through her dislike of Thomas with enough time and motivation -- which isn’t exactly a trait of the stereotypical stock xenophobe. Be interesting to see what if anything comes of that if she sticks around for long enough in the story.

That's precisely the vibe I'm going for. Good eye.
