ErraticOverlord


But, if ErraticOverlord is dead, why the empty grave?

T

I open my eyes and they fill with light. A harsh, bright, light that cause me to shut them again, instantly.

What's going on? What happened?

Hello, Princess Twilight Sparkle. I think I can answer those questions for you.

The voice sounds like mine, but instead of coming from the outside, it originated from inside my head. I open my eyes, again, squinting.

Who are you?

The room I'm in is white, bare for the most part. There's medical equipment lined up against the wall, including an IV running down to my forehoof. There's a door at the far end of the room, closed from the outside world, and no windows. The only light comes from sterile lamps on the ceiling. It seems like a hospital, but looks can be deceiving.

I'm your supplementary memory unit, or SMU, for short.

THE GAME BEGINS

Looks interesting and puzzles like that are a nice touch! Can't wait for more :twilightsmile: the code and the lost memories reminds me of the Raw Shark Texts.

6107293 Excellent! I was a little worried no one would get it, very good!

What are the Raw Shark Texts, out of curiosity?

6107525 A book by Steven Hall about a man who lost his memories when they were eaten by a Conceptual Shark. He left himself clues and codes to explain what happened to him. Bit abstract but worth a read.

6107601 Hmm. I'll have to take a look at it, thank you.

How does the SMU know that Rainbow did it if it wasn't implanted until the surgery? Oh and first comment! :pinkiehappy:

6131778 Questions questions, everywhere. :pinkiehappy:

Interesting... this story could get both really Philipkdickian and/or Great-Detective-like soon.
Waiting for more! :twilightsmile:

It is great to see more of this story. :twilightsmile:

And it is nice that Twilight is considerating the origins of SMU itself.

¡RainBowFactory! ¡Princess Twilight Sparkle probably discovered the secret, so got into an "accident"!

Really interesting chapter.

It actually rises (another) question: if Twilight was attacked, why Princess Celestia didn't enter in contact with her soon she recovered?

The plot thickens...

So far, the clues - if really are clues - indicted that Twilight discovered something about Pegasi and/or about her friends, something big and worrisome - enough to somepony (maybe in high places? :pinkiegasp:) to attack her to prevent the disclosure...

Depending of what happens in her talk with Luna, Twilight needs to go to Cloudsdale to find Rainbow and/or confront Celestia...

And it is interesting that Applejack didn't mention Pinkie...

Why the story isn't tagged "Mystery" or "Thriller"?

7141030 Just tagged it. I think the Mystery and Thriller tags were added after I first published the story, so that's why.
