When two humans land on a planet with their shell-person companion at the helm, they think they are prepared for anything. Ponies was not among their definition of "anything," however.
Okay, first off, FSP? Anne McCaffery? The author whose Pern stories got me going into literature in the first place? Oh HELL YES! Second, B&B ship? Oh, hell ya. Now things do seem a little disjointed but I'm pretty sure due to this being a first chapter and the gaps are going to be filled in and smoothed. I really like the Kiera character and am almost wondering if she is going to get pulled out of her ship and ponified.
And first contact went about as swimmingly as you'd expect! The real question: which is displaced: the planet, or the universe it seems to have found itself in? To Celestia: how about them conquering empires? Keep going! ;)
Huh, starting right in the thick of things. You should at least describe in detail the forms Dustin and Belay have been turned into. You didn't even say what color they are!
Autoponification is a troubling effect for this crew. If it reaches Kiera, I can't imagine the result would be very pretty...
I love the concept but I think you need to backup to the beginning before the humans made planet fall and think about world building a little. Also brain ships do sleep for about two to four hours a day according to the books your based this story off of. Good start anyways.
7853858 Oh yes, they sleep at that point. Note the designation number of the ship? The starting point is deliberate, when Celestia and Luna come to visit you are going to get some exposition between the royals and Kiera, of each filling in their side of what happened.
7853826 We must hope the sanctity of a titanium column and heavy shielding will keep her safe.
7882636 As I said, the events that led up to Jules and Vincent err, I mean Dustin and Belay, waiting to see the princesses, will be laid out further. What I didn't want was to throw a whole mess of technical stuff at readers right at the start, before giving them cute ponies.

oh lord DEFINITELY worth a tracking
Is this a 'The Ship Who Sang' crossover? Coolness. I haven't read that story in twenty, twenty-five years I think.
It's been years since I read a story in this verse. I have to follow it.

Jules and Vincenterr, I mean Dustin and Belay, waiting to see the princesses, will be laid out further.
