It was one failed revenge attempt after another and this one was sure to be her last. The ex-changeling ruler, Chrysalis, was cornered by her enemies. They offered her a chance for 'redemption' and extended their hooves in friendship, but the queen would not accept. She charged a powerful spell and the ponies tried to stop her. There was an explosion and after the sound returned and Chrysalis was gifted sight again, she was greeted by pale white walls, various medical instruments, and her new life aboard one of the United Empire research ships.

Interesting concept, explore this new frontier of the wider galexy little bug, and evolve.
But can it be pulled off?
Which United Empire? this one?
Chrysalis may end up nostalgic for some good old fashioned pony friendship before all is said and done...
But hey, at least the music's good!
I'm curious to see where this goes.

That'd be my assumption, but I'm not seeing a crossover tag. Guess I'll have to read to find out.
What crossover is this with?
Ooooooh! Now this is an interesting concept! Looking forward to seeing more ^^
I like this
Dust
Huh. Interesting, I'll be keeping an eye on this.
Oddly similar concept to one I've been planning. I'll be following to see where this goes.
I want to see where this goes. And yes, that picture is ADORABLE!!!
United Empire? The only Empires I know of are these ones:
The Terran Empire
And the Galactic Empire.
... okay, after a quick google search I this is a crossover with Endless Space, which I would be perfectly fine with. I like the Endless games. Sadly, I can't be sure: "United Empire" is such a stupidly generic name that you might as well call it "Human Faction #2". Still, doesn't hurt to watch this for a bit.
No imperial space industrialists? Aww.
But hey! Chrysalis makes first contact! I don't recall ever seeing that before, I look forward to the next installment!
Now this is an interesting story so far. I can't wait to see where it goes.
wonder what races these two belong to. they sound interesting.
I love it. The start is great and I have high hopes for the rest. Thanks for writing this.
Shouldn't it have been hearing, touch, smell, taste, sight considering she heard beeping first? How could she heard the beep if her sense of hearing came after her sense of touch?
Almost sued for smiling to hard that would be fun to explain honestly.
What sci-fi universe is this crossover with?
👌
Ah the good old stupid amount of credits in debt trope, always fun to see. honestly if this had been a m rated story I can see it going a entirely different direction. Anyway nice chapter looking forward to future chapters.

Haven't read it yet, but I'm guessing Endless Space

It isnt a cross over with anything according to ch2
Don't you just love teleporting through a super expensive teleporter... After trying to kill yourself and everyone you hated
You know it's gonna be good when they try to calm you down by saying "could you not get too angry now, cause you'll need the energy to get angry a bit later."
My interest is piqued!

Technically almost as stupid as "United State". Oh well, guess humanity is not that original after all :)
(Love the US, don't mind me, just joking)
For your own sake, don't start to apologize to everything :)
United Empire is a good name, not the best I guess, but definitively far from the worse.
And I hardly mind the crossover tag, as long as I enjoy myself reading this story and you enjoy writing it.
Hey, it's your story man, don't regret its specificities and features because readers don't like it. The only critisism welcomed are about writing skills, what remained may be suggestion or idea, but hardly more important.

Heh, it would be, if that were the real name. As it is, it's only slightly less silly as the United States, the idea originally being that each state would be like a nation of its own in a federation of states. Which is dumb for other reasons.
Interesting... I would think that chrysalis would be a bit more demanding.
Thats just me though.
Keep writing.

There is LITERALLY a Humanville hun, and half of our names are JUST as bad as pony names, just in a different language. All in all, humans aren't very original.
@author, add the crossover, human, and series tag(In this case 'Endless Space').
Edit: @author just read the authors notes, kk.

How about the United Kingdom? USSR? Face it, Humanity is crap at naming themselves XD
9242275
united kingdoms, United Soviet Socialist Republicans, The full name of the United States of America, the Dominican Republic, I could probably go on if I knew more. Oh! People hate this next one but it's still just as silly as the other two if you think about it, Islamic State of Iraq and Syria! Honestly Humanity is just bad at naming themselves, don't take it personal.
Fun enough, let's see where this goes.
Thank you for another sweet chapter. I can't wait to see how Chrissy changes (if she does) now that she got a different perspective to how "big" she is in the universe.
Humanity has reached the point where First Contact with another species no longer fazes them. Meet an equine insectoid creature with 'magic'. Male her pay for the stuff she broke.
Not a great first impression.
Hmm, interesting start.
Hopefully the explosion at least hurt some of them, preferably scored some fatalities.
Explore the new world, best bughorse, and grow stronger to return in glory and lay waste to your enemies!

Welp, that didn't go too badly... Hopefully the debt isn't too massive. Still, even then, more time to get used to the tech.
'the massive debt they'll in?' - they'll be in or they're in
Try to stick to a cohesive tense, you're switching between present and past.
Welp, that's a pickle. What, is the ship manager R Tom Nook?

Here's another one. The official name of Mexico is "The United Mexican States".
Now that was an interesting twist, also makes the cover make even more sense in context.
Also the title made me chuckle.
ok you have all of my interest in this right now. Okdi ftw XD i like spiders and chrysi made spider bot. i'll be tracking this
Chrissy doing good. Yayy
I'm loving these updates, keep it up
Now the real question is... will Chrysalis really want to go back home?
9298535
Oh yes, she will want to go home...
WITH A FLEET OF INSECTICONS SINGING HER PRAISES AS SHE LOOKS DOWN UPON THE PRINCESSES OF EQUESTRIA AND BOOPS THEM IN THE NOSE TO SAY, "Nay! I will not let you come onto my spaceship and experience the glory of awesome sci-fi shenanigans!"
A Changeling Queen and a...Drone?
DUCK AND COVER!!!!!
(evil chrysalis emoji)
9298535
She will probably get homesick.

That needs to be a April fool's one shot.
Just realized that is a reference to the comics.
Edit: thought it said fruitfly.
