Connection
Chapter 15 – Connection
“Sir, I’m picking up the presence of Q on the planet surface,” said Lt. Jae, who was filling in for Data at the Ops station.
“Well, I guess that means he’s finished whatever he was going to do, otherwise we wouldn’t be seeing him at all,” said Riker. “What is his location?”
“In the Ponyville library,” said Jae. “He is in the presence of six others.”
Riker nodded. “Back to where he took her from, it sounds like.”
“Of course,” said Q, who suddenly appeared in the seat that Riker normally sat in, while Riker himself currently occupied the captain’s chair. “It would be rather ungentlemanly of me not to walk a lady back home after such a… hot date, wouldn’t you say? What, did you think I was going to go off and leave Pinkie Pie stranded on the surface of the sun or something crass like that? We just chatted for a little while, that’s all. She’s perfectly fine now, I can assure you. Besides, Riker, don’t you have more important things to be doing other than keeping tabs on me?”
“If you’re referring to finding the wormhole location,” said Riker irritably, “then we’ve nearly completed the full scan of the planet. As it turns out, we’re fairly sure that we found it almost as soon as we began the search. There is a large concentration of verteron and chroniton particles above Ponyville, or over the Everfree Forest more specifically. Apparently, there is some sort of large structure found within the forest, and it is directly above this that the collection of particles is found.”
“Ah, yes, the old abandoned palace of the royal family before the capital was moved to Canterlot,” said Q, nodding. “Analogue to Dream Castle in the other world, just as Ponyville is the analogue to Paradise Estate. It is entirely fitting that the portal would be found there, of course. Well, now that you’ve found it, all that’s left now is for the ponies to use their Elements of Harmony to open it up. I guess that means you need to get Celestia on the horn and get this ball rolling.”
Riker gave Q an aggravated glare, shook his head, and then tapped a button on the armrest of the command chair. “Enterprise to Captain Picard.”
“And so it’s decided, then,” said Princess Celestia. “We will allow the portal to be opened.” Her gaze drifted around the room to the ambassadors from the griffon, zebra, minotaur, and dragon nations, and then finally came to rest on Captain Picard. “All that remains is for the location of the portal itself to be found.”
Picard nodded and said, “And so it shall be. As you all know, my ship has been conducting a search of the planet for the past several hours now, and I expect this to be completed momentarily.”
“In that case, I believe our business here is concluded,” said Celestia. She turned to the ambassadors and said, “I thank each of you for your prompt responses in this matter, and I wish to extend my thanks to your leaders for agreeing that it is indeed in the best interests of our world as a whole to establish relations with the Federation.” She nodded as each of the ambassadors gave their reassurances that this was indeed the case and that they would pass along her regards to their respective rulers. Finally, she said, “You are free to stay here as long as you like, or if you prefer to return to your homelands immediately, my court mages are available to expedite your journey via teleportation.” With that, each of the ambassadors paid their due respects to the leader of Equestria and filed out of the room.
As if on cue, it was at this moment that Riker’s voice issued from his combadge, “Enterprise to Captain Picard. Sorry to disturb you during your meeting with the ambassadors, but you requested to be contacted as soon as we found something.”
Picard tapped his combadge. “We’ve just finished, Number One. Go ahead.”
“We’ve found the location of the portal, sir,” said Riker. “It is above the Everfree Forest, directly over a structure that Q calls the Castle of the Royal Pony Sisters.”
“Very good, Number One,” said Picard. “I’ll be returning to the ship in a few moments. Picard out.”
Celestia closed her eyes and shook her head. “Of course it would be there,” she said with a weary sigh. “Discord knew all along it would be there.”
“Is there a problem?” asked Captain Picard.
“Not as such, no,” said the Sun Princess. “It’s just that this location has… historical significance to Equestria… and to me in particular. However, more importantly than that, it has been long abandoned to the wilds of the Everfree. I doubt the Bearers of Harmony are going to be very thrilled to hear that they need to venture inside that forest once again.”
“Indeed, Q warned us away from there before we first came down here,” said Picard. “He claimed that it was a dangerous place.”
“He’s right,” said Celestia darkly. “He should know, given that he’s the one who made it into such a dangerous place in the first place. Several thousand years ago, it was just a normal forest like any other, but thanks to Discord, or Q as you call him, it’s now a wild place, ever free from the influence of all pony magic, including my own.”
“Why am I not surprised that he would be involved in such a thing?” muttered Picard. “Well, perhaps we can be of aid in this situation as well. Rather than have your ponies make the trek through the forest unnecessarily, we can transport them directly to the location of this castle. By your leave, I shall return to the ship and make the necessary preparations for this.”
Celestia nodded. “That would indeed simply things greatly, and I thank you once again. Well, then, I suppose I should gather Twilight and her friends and then unlock the vault containing the Elements of Harmony for them.”
“The Everfree Forest,” said Twilight Sparkle, as she read the letter from Celestia. “Just above the Ancient Castle of the Royal Pony Sisters.”
“Where it all began,” said Applejack. “It figures.”
“D-does that mean we have to journey through the forest again?” asked Fluttershy, the nervous hesitation at such an undertaking evident in her voice.
Twilight finished reading the letter. “No, we don’t. Captain Picard has offered to transport us to Canterlot to gather the Elements of Harmony and then directly to the castle, bypassing the forest entirely.”
Rarity sighed in relief and said, “Well, that’s good. I wouldn’t have minded visiting with Steven along the way, of course, but I much prefer to not have to get my hooves dirty in that nasty place.”
“We still have to go back to that creepy old castle, though,” said Pinkie Pie. “Oh well, at least it’ll be daytime this time. Maybe we should try to clean it up a little bit once we get there.”
“Yeah,” said Rainbow Dash, “I guess it wouldn’t be good that the first thing visitors from Earth see when they get here is a broken down old castle.”
Twilight shook her head. “While I do agree that the old castle could definitely use a good repair job, I think our first priority should be to get the portal opened. We can worry about anything else after that. For now, I just need to send a letter back to Princess Celestia letting her know that we’re ready, so she can contact the Enterprise. Spike!” She looked around the library foyer. “Where’d that dragon get to? He was just here a little while ago.”
The front door to the library opened and Spike came through. “You called?” he said. “Sorry, I only just got back from the café with lunch for everypony.”
“Oh how thoughtful of you, little Spikey-Wikey!” said Rarity. She walked over to him and gave him a quick kiss on the top of his head. Then she had to quickly catch the food with her telekinesis before it fell to the floor, given that Spike was now swooning and staggering around, with a blissful smile on his face and completely unaware of his surroundings.
The other ponies giggled at this display as Twilight rolled her eyes and said, “Well, we might as well have lunch first then, since Spike won’t be good for much of anything for a while.”
Roughly an hour later, as the transporter beams faded away, the six ponies looked quietly around at the somewhat familiar surroundings of the Castle of the Royal Pony Sisters. Each of them was wearing their respective Element of Harmony.
“Mr. Worf, do you read anything?” asked Commander Riker. Given the potential danger from the surrounding Everfree Forest, Riker and Worf had accompanied the ponies back down to the planet, both of them armed with Type-II hand phasers.
Worf scanned the area with his tricorder then shook his head. “There’s nothing in the immediate vicinity, sir, but I am detecting multiple life signs in the area. Some of them appear to be rather large. However, they seem to be keeping their distance, at least for the moment.”
Applejack glanced in the Klingon’s direction, and then looked up at the castle. “So… here we are again, back to the place where we first found these things.”
“It certainly does look different in the sunlight,” said Rainbow Dash.
“I agree,” said Rarity. “It doesn’t look nearly as creepy and evil as it did the last time that we were here.”
Pinkie Pie bounced over to the open door that led to the interior of the castle and stuck her head through it. “You know, this wouldn’t be such a bad place if it didn’t have this spooky forest all around it.”
“It looks a lot like the palace in Canterlot,” said Fluttershy. “I guess that makes sense, though, since it used to be where the Princesses lived a long time ago.”
Twilight tilted her head back and gazed up at the upper reaches of the castle. “I suppose we should try to head up to one of the upper balconies. It would probably be easier to do this if we’re closer to the portal.”
With that, the six Bearers and their two humanoid companions began their trek through the dilapidated castle. The trip was mostly uneventful, aside from the occasional pebble breaking loose and echoing through the empty halls as it clattered around. Eventually they reached a room that somehow seemed to be a lot less timeworn than the rest of the castle. Something about it piqued Twilight’s memories and her eyes widened as she realized what it was.
“This… this looks like…” The unicorn gazed around at the room. “I believe that this used to be the personal chambers of Princess Celestia. It looks rather similar to the ones she has back in Canterlot.”
“Indeed it is, Twilight Sparkle,” said an unexpected new voice. The ponies, Riker, and Worf whirled around to see Princess Luna entering the room behind them. Worf glanced down at his tricorder and frowned, given that he hadn’t detected her presence at all, prior to her sudden appearance. Either she had only just arrived, or she had been somehow masking her presence until now.
“P-princess Luna!” said Twilight. “I wasn’t expecting to see you here.”
Luna strode slowly into the room and looked around. “I’m not entirely sure why I’m here, myself. It’s just… when I heard from my sister that this is where you all would be coming, I just wanted to be here. I can’t really explain it. In fact, I haven’t even thought about this place much at all since… the last time we were here.” She let her voice trail off, as she was unwilling to bring up the circumstances surrounding the last time they had all been there.
“Why does this room look less run down than the rest of the castle?” asked Riker.
“That I do not know,” said the Princess of the Moon.
“That would be my doing,” said another new voice, one that was familiar to all of them. With a burst of light and sound, Pony-Q appeared in the middle of the room, next to Luna. “I couldn’t bear to let the ravages of time take this room as it has everything else. Call it silly sentimentality on my part, if you want.”
“Why are you here, Discord?” said Luna, dangerously.
“Sheath your claws, Luna,” said the entity. “I have no quarrel with you, as much as I know that disappoints you. I am merely here to make sure that nothing goes awry at the last minute. This is, after all, the big moment, isn’t it? The moment that all of this has been leading up to: the opening of the portal to Earth.” He looked around at the Bearers of Harmony and the slightest whiff of impatience entered his voice. “In fact, I would have expected you to have it already opened by now.”
Twilight considered arguing with him, explaining that they’d only just gotten here, but decided there would be no point to it. Instead, she looked toward the balcony and said, “I believe that will be the ideal place to attempt this.” As she and the other ponies moved toward the balcony, along with Riker and Worf, Pony-Q sidled up closer to Princess Luna.
“Ah, this brings back memories, doesn’t it?” he said.
Luna narrowed her eyes as she looked down at him. “Are you sure you wish to stir such memories within me? None of my memories involving you are pleasant ones.”
The entity smiled and said, “Well, then perhaps we can create some new ones here and now. The opening of this portal will mean the dawn of a new age for this world. I won’t take all the credit for it, but… well, I guess it’s safe to say that this moment wouldn’t be happening at all without me, right?”
Luna merely snorted and then ignored him completely as she walked out to join the others on the balcony.
“Hmph,” muttered Pony-Q. “That’s what passes for gratitude these days, I guess.” He watched through the open doors and smiled as the Elements of Harmony began to glow, the eyes of the Bearers became milky white, and the Rainbow of Light began to form. It was a much more pleasant sight now than it was the last time he saw it.
Vice Admiral Alynna Nechayev leaned back in her chair in her office at Starfleet Command headquarters and rubbed her eyes, glad for the brief respite from her duties. The last few days had been rather tense. The sudden disappearance of the USS Enterprise had been a top priority ever since the ship had failed to reach its destination several days earlier.
The respite was short-lived, however, as the voice of one her aides sounded through the communications panel on her desk, “Admiral, you have a Priority One communiqué waiting for you from Captain Jellico of the USS Cairo.”
Nechayev sighed and said, “Patch it through to my office.” She turned the viewing screen on the desk around to face her. A few seconds later, the screen winked to life and the face of Captain Jellico appeared. “Hello, Edward,” she said. “You have good news for me, I hope?”
The frown on the captain’s face answered her question before he even began speaking. “I am afraid not, Admiral. We’ve scanned the entire sector surrounding the last known location of the Enterprise. We have found absolutely nothing that would give us even the slightest indication as to what could have happened to her. There’s no sign of debris to indicate that she’s been destroyed, at least, but it’s like the ship has simply vanished into thin air.”
“That… is rather unfortunate,” said Nechayev. “I was hoping that there would be at least something out there to give us a clue as to what happened.”
Jellico sighed and said, “It’s a shame to lose such a fine ship like the Enterprise. I’ve heard plenty of stories about her and her crew. From all accounts, Jean-Luc Picard was a damn fine captain. I wish I could have met him.”
“You may yet get a chance to meet him someday, Captain,” said Nechayev. “I wouldn’t be so quick to write off the Enterprise. As history has shown us time and time again, rather strange things tend to happen to ships that carry that name. Continue the search and keep me informed. Nechayev out.”
Once the connection was closed, the admiral leaned back in her chair and closed her eyes again, sighing with frustration. She hardly had time to even begin processing what she’d been told by Jellico, however, when red alert klaxons were suddenly blaring throughout the building.
“What in the hell?” she said. It was a rare event indeed when something happened to raise a red alert at the very heart of Starfleet Command.
“Admiral!” shouted the voice of her aide over the comm channel. “Planetary defenses have lit up! Something… something is happening over Iowa!”
“You can be more specific than that, ensign!” barked Nechayev. “Give me some info here!” Rather than waiting for the aide to respond, she started rapidly typing keys on the pad in front of the screen through which she had been speaking with the Cairo.
The aide’s voice sounded incredibly nervous as he said, “There appears to be some sort of… wormhole forming in orbit above Iowa. It is extending down several miles into the atmosphere as well. There appears to be something coming through it. It looks like… like…” The aide’s voice trailed off.
“I’ll be damned,” muttered Nechayev, in great shock of her own. Her screen was giving her a visual feed of what was going on in space above the state of Iowa. Assuming her eyes weren’t playing tricks on her, it appeared that a Galaxy-class starship was beginning to emerge from this newly formed wormhole. She could clearly see the registry on the hull of the ship: NCC-1701-D.
“Admiral,” said the aide once again, “there’s something else coming through the wormhole as well, but lower in the atmosphere. I… I don’t… surely there’s some sort of sensor malfunction, because it appears to be… winged horses!”
“So… this is it, huh,” said Q2. He and Q were standing on the highest point atop Starfleet Command headquarters and were looking down into the courtyard. Far below them, in the gardens, they could see the tiny figures of humans and ponies. Picard, Princess Luna, and the six Bearers of Harmony were meeting with several high-ranking members of Starfleet Command and the Federation Council. “The big pay-off.”
“Yeah, this is it,” said Q. He turned to his companion. “See? I told you it was nothing that would interest the Continuum. What do they care if there’s one more wormhole connecting two worlds?”
“Why go to all the trouble, though?” asked Q2. “You could have just opened the portal yourself. You didn’t have to bring the Enterprise all the way out there for that.”
Q turned his eyes back down to the meeting happening down below. “This was never about just linking the two worlds. I was far more interested in having my favorite little ponies meet my favorite little humans and then seeing how they would get along with one another.”
“So, would you consider your experiment a success?” asked Q2.
“Resounding,” said Q. He smiled as a short flash of bright yellow light heralded the arrival of Princess Celestia herself on Earth. For the briefest of moments after she arrived, she looked up in his direction and caught his eye. Q tossed his hand up in a lazy wave. She nodded at him almost imperceptibly and then turned to face the rest of those gathered nearby, none of whom had noticed this exchange. Q nodded. “Yes, I do indeed think it was all a huge success, if I do say so myself.”
The End

A 100k word Star Trek TNG crossover? Why haven't I heard of this...
MLP and Star Trek .. seriously, THIS IS AWESOME. I'm a HUGE fan of Star Trek so.. thumbs up just for the idea. But now i should go and get some sleep..
To boldly go where no fanfic has gone before! Seriously, where are the rest of the Star Trek fanfics? You'd think there'd be a ton more crossovers. Still, this one is pretty damned awesome so I think it can satisfy my nerdy needs.
In regards to the deleted scene....
...what the fuck were you thinking at the time of writing that?
read in one sitting. well done...
no plans for a sequel, i presume?
1002026
There are a number of them, if you know where to look...
Dangit, I'm making a Star Trek-specific group, and adding this story, and the others I can find.
Loved reading it! Awesome! Wish I could recommend it twice!
This deserves alot more attention.
Read it all and I absolutely loved just about everything about it.
Cue the star trek credits!
star trek and mlp i like it
This is the best story ever. I've been a fan of star trek since the late sixties and have read tons of trek fiction over the years and I will have to say that this is very well done. Does a combo mane 6 and Enterprise mission slash story have a chance? I hope so.
Bucking Frilliant.
so..... when's the next story?
As a brony trekker I say WELL DONE!
1037823 I think it's my fault. I've hardly seen any ST episodes.
BTW I do have one criticism of the fic; I thought the beginning was too abrupt; no setting the stage, get right into it.
I suggest writing a prologue to the fic to more smoothly transition from your previous fic. Perhaps start off on Equestria, with
talking to 
and Luna in the aftermath of the ep "Harmony returns" while she is looking through a telescope at the stars. They mention Discord, then maybe comment on the myths about humans, and Twilight looks through her telescope wondering if life is out there among the stars....
then you have the log entry, an important trope of Trek since TOS; have Captain Picard dictating a log entry about their upcoming rendezvous with the USS Cairo; then a scene where Picard and the Bridge crew are discussing the upcoming meeting with Captain Jellicoe.....THEN they get thrown to Equestria.
Also relating to log entries; maybe have characters making entries at various points in the fic? Log entries are good ways to show a character's inner thoughts.....plus FiM has its own version of this trope; letters. Maybe have
or other ponies writing letters to 
on the events in the fic. One interesting scene near the end could have Riker and Twilight Sparkle discussing their feelings for each other via log entry and letter.
This critique is meant in the spirit of constructive criticism.
I demand a sequel!. Sequel pl0x :3.
Alright, time to go forward and start overwriting startrek canon, due to the recent alterations, similarly to XSGCom.
Well, I just read this, have two yays and a whee~eehaw
also cheesecake... Which reminds me that i'm hungry.
I liked it quite a bit
Now im going to see if you made a sequel. TATA for now
Although it's taken me... what... over 3 months or so to do so, I just wanted to finally pop in and say that I appreciate all the supportive comments and constructive feedback I've received here.
In response to those who have asked, I do have plans for a continuation of this. However, right now, I'd like to finish watching all of Voyager before getting into it. I'm currently about 2/3 of the way through season 2 of Voyager, at a rate of around 2-4 episodes per day. I've already watched all of DS9 between finishing this fic and now, and I decided to do the same for Voyager as well. (Enterprise, however, will not be a prerequisite for starting a new fic, though I do plan to watch that eventually as well.) As such, it will likely be January or so before I start on any new fic, mainly because it'll probably take me at least that long to finish Voyager, and also the fact that I'll be away from my computer for a good chuck of December as well. And also, given that the current timeframe seems to be that Season 3 of FiM will be done in the area of January or February, I'll likely wait until the end of that before starting a new fic as well.
As for what I have planned, it will be more a "set in the same universe" thing rather than an explicit, direct sequel to this fic. I'm thinking of doing something more like a "season" with a currently unknown number of "episodes", each mostly standalone in nature, but also with an overarching storyline to tie them all together. It's all still in the early planning stages right now. The basic gist is that it will be set some 20 years after "Where Nopony Has Gone Before" (which corresponds to around the time that the Star Trek Prime universe backstory for the 2009 reboot movie takes place, though this will definitely still be in the Prime universe and not the reboot alternate universe). Overall, it will follow the adventures of an OC pony (currently named Star Strider or maybe Sky Strider, though I may change that if I come up with something better), who is the first pony to have made it through Starfleet Academy and been posted to a starship. In this case, the right out of the Utopia Planetia shipyards USS Pegasus (NCC-53847-B). That said, however, the mane six and the princesses and the rest will definitely still be around and will have roles to play as well, and there will indeed be action on... um... whatever the pony planet is named. Yeah, I somehow managed to get through two fics without giving the planet itself a name, and I don't think there is a canon or generally agreed upon fanon name for it either. I didn't really want to call the whole planet Equestria, since there are creatures other than just ponies that live there... I don't know, I'll try to come up with something. There will also be a starbase (which I'm currently calling Deep Space Twenty) in orbit around the planet which will be a third setting for potential "episodes" as well.
Anyway, yeah, I definitely have ideas for more FiM/Star Trek crossover in the future.
1002950 It was meant to just be a little throwaway gag thing that expanded upon the whole "Q is scared of the 4th wall" scene with a bit of "and this is why" ...but yeah, in retrospect I realized that it was a bit... much, which is why I just deleted it soon after I posted the fic.
1056706 Well, there are plenty of Trek episodes that start of with "oh crap the ship is being attacked what's going on here ahhhh" scenes as well, some of which are even more "out there" than this was. Mainly, I just wanted to get to the pony planet as soon as possible without a lot getting in the way of that. Also, this was indeed a direct sequel to the previous fic, but even regardless of whether or not one had read the previous fic, I feel that the fact that Q is involved and is revealed to be the one behind everything early on is enough of a set up to get things rolling.
As for log entries, though... yeah, those are definitely missing, and are something I intend to not overlook in the future.
1301692 Yeah, my own worry as stated in the author's notes at the end was that there was way too much dialogue and not nearly enough not-dialogue. As for more flavor text to describe the setting, I guess my thought process at the time, such as it was, was that, well, this is the same Enterprise and the same Ponyville that we'd all seen already, so I wasn't going to spend a lot of time rehashing physical descriptions and the like, and that was a mistake. Essentially, I was writing it with the expectation that the only ones who'd really care to read it in the first place would be fans of both FiM and Star Trek. But beyond that, though, I do agree that there wasn't enough "Ponyville, but through the eyes of the TNG crew" or "the Enterprise but through the eyes of the ponies" reactions. For their part, the TNG crew have seen quite a lot of weird stuff in their time, so a planet full of talking ponies may not have been too far outside of their norm, but the ship would have been something completely foreign to the ponies, and they should have reacted a bit more to that than they did, true enough.
At first I was like WTF? I visualize what I read so I tried realistic ponies on STTNG and my brain broke. Then I tried Animated style Star Trek and was like 'whoo whoooo!' Seriously, trying to visualize MLP as real life creatures.... I love the series.... but...
Otherwise, loved it! To think two so different series could be linked by one John Delancy.
I liked this a lot more than I thought I would. In my tastes, these franchises don't work well together most of the time (keeping in mind that I'm a fan of both), but your familiarity with both and impressive attention to detail really managed to pull it off. Well done!
I have to give myself of percussive cranial maintenance and remind myself not to be so narrow-minded in the future.
Well written on the technical points, and fun while reading, but this fic isn't something I'd re-read.
In particular, as you comment yourself in the notes, there are sections where it just plain drags. The story would benefit from being, oh, about 20% shorter, mainly by cutting or abridging scenes which get repetitious. (Twilight with the Enterprise ladies exercising is a prime candidate for the chopping block- it repeats Twilight's talk with her friends, and it adds precisely zero to either plot or characterization.) Of course, if you're doing a crossover of ANYTHING with TNG, overtalking is a course hazard. }:-{D
One other point that should be addressed is the uneven treatment of rising and falling action. The A-plot (establishing a link between humans and ponies) gets swallowed up by the other plots and ends in pretty much a fizzle. The B-plot (She Q Must be Obeyed v. Pinkie Pie via the Borg) hits its climax much too soon. And, finally, the appendix to the B-plot (Pinkie dealing with power) feels... short-changed.
All in all, definitely better written than the vast majority of fanfics, but still needs more development. Thanks for sharing it with us!
1641153 so good reading this just wih u made an epilogue to this like they meet with the star fleet council & what happens a few months later after the meeting
This fiction is wonderful. I was giggling madly half the time and I couldn't stop reading. Still can't stop thinking and im hoping that the glimpse of another crossover in your stories is a continuation in this style. Its exactly what it should be. Characters talk allot but when you have the characters so solidly in mind, its a good thing. You are now (five hours after clicking quandary of d iscords first chapter) on of my favorite fanfiction writers. The words you put to page are worthy of awards and praise and of large bouncers keeping jj Abrams from deciding it all has to be restarted...
actually I liked the reboot. Im just saying this is very good.
please keep writing. And if you ever publish something. Make sure I know about it and I will buy it.
I don't know why... But I feel the need to comment using this video.....
A portal to Earth.
Where Nopony has Gone Before.
This was amazingly well done. Thank you for sharing it with us all :)

this crossover is the best i've ever seen.
This was a fantastic work! While I can't say I like this better than the DisQord Continuum by Zoidberg, this was a very well written, brilliantly executed set of stories (counting the prequel), and I only saw one bloody grammar error in the whole thing in a 130k+ work! Loved the detailed interplay and history between Q and the princesses as well as how all that fit into WNHGB with the detailed interplay of the ship's crew and modern Equestria. Also loved the smooth way the story just brought its own conclusions of the Borg without looking any way contrived.
You've done great! Definitely going into my Fave's folder!
Now onto the sequel
(Oh, and speaking of researching the fic, to go off on another short tangent, I actually went out and bought a bottle of prune juice. True story. Not really a fan, I have to say. My reaction to it is probably somewhere about half-way between Pinkie’s and Scootaloo’s. Finally managed to finish the damn bottle after almost a month.)
Prune juice really does taste awful. But it's useful when you are constipated. Believe me I know that.
7284733
Believe me, so do all the ponies Rainbow overflew ...
but Rainbow's still clueless ... as is the Klingon
I can say this is a vary vary good story.
loved it totally.
Finally, I Knew I read this thing before, but forgot what it was called by teh time I sighned up in order to be able to upvote.
DisQord.
Meet
PinQui Pie?
If you havent seen Season 8, Episode 14/18 Yakkity Sax yet?. Watch the Pinkie.
You literally hung a lampshade on Pinkie :P
Well this was quite good.

I reread the fic and exempt the twily rike thing this is very good in my humble opinion
To whom it may concern, Darksymphony777 on Youtube has posted a 27 minute review video of both this fic and its prequel, The Quandary of DisQord. It's a rather fair review of them, I'd say. I agree with most of the criticisms mentioned there (especially the Doctor Whooves thing from the previous fic, which is why Doctor Whooves didn't show up at all in this one).
