It is the year 2117. Almost two whole decades since the Crystal Empire suddenly decided to wake up and catch up with the rest of Equestria, and a malignant flu has caused everything to abruptly ground to a halt. The illness is spreading quickly, and there's nothing anypony can do to stop it.
After what seems a regular (albeit a strangely quiet) day turns into his worst nightmare, Rainer must do what he can to survive as the land of Equestria falls into anarchy and insanity...
NOTICE:
As of right now, certain incidents have halted the progress of these journals from being posted. We, as in Pegasi Inc, will resolve these problems as soon as possible. But until then, I will change the status of the journals to "Hiatus" until further notice. I personally apologize for the things that have been going on as of late.
Best,
Daniel Blue

If you're a little suspicious about the deleted comments, it's because I've completely rewritten the story and I've decided to start off with a clean slate. Sorry, Shadowmane!
((Though you can no longer view his pointers on the former version of the fanfiction, I give my sincere thanks to Shadowmane PX-41 for somewhat giving me a little refresher course that eventually led to this write up.))
