Last note. For those of you that do read The Discovery and are put off by the human transforming into a pony aspect of the story, I promise that no such thing will happen in this story, so don't worry about that if that's something you don't like.

Awesome that you put that warning, though you should know those that don't like such and know it happens just might be put off from the whole series anyway. A bit of us anyway.

I kinda figured. I just hope that enough of them stick around and read this story or can at least appreciate that I tried to do it the best way I could in The Discovery without making it too cringy or just plain bad.

great men great story what you have there, I must say that something like this happened through my mind, where humanity discovers the distress signal of David's ship being that 200 years have passed since its crash, and technology evolved so much that that it took 200 years roundtrip just months or weeks and all thanks to the WAR. thumbs up!!!

Fucken hyped for this, guy!

Glad to hear it! I'm so excited for this story to finally be live. The week wait between chapters is killing me too.

That first paragraph of the description...

In the year 2148, explorers on Mars discovered the remains of an ancient spacefaring civilization. In the decades that followed, these mysterious artifacts revealed startling new technologies, enabling travel to the furthest stars. The basis for this incredible technology was a force that controlled the very fabric of space and time. They called it the greatest discovery in human history. The civilizations of the galaxy call it... MASS EFFECT.

Ahem. Sorry. Wrong dimension. Lacks Turian first contact war.

Anyway, this sounds interesting. But, hoooo boy, that's a lot of stories to read before this one, especially since The Discovery has even more required reading... I'll try though ;)

I'm really glad to hear that. I know it's a bit to read up on, but I do hope you enjoy the rest of my stories :D

Well, finally able to start reading this story and I'm liking what I'm seeing thus far. It'll be interesting to see how all the previous stories come to play here. I also like the idea of these chapter themes. I really liked the selection for this chapter and it seemed to scream "space mission" to me. Just gotta say though, I will totally blame you if an infectious earworm gets stuck in my head.

Hehe, glad you finally got to reading it then. I can make no promises, but I think you'll enjoy all of my chapter themes :D

"Alright gentlemen, this is your pilot speaking. Now I know we've all done this shebang a thousand times before, but doctrine dictates that I have to warn you to please keep all hand and feet inside the vehicle at all times... Not like you can really stick them out anyways with the doors closed, but whatever. Anyways, fire extinguishers are located in the front, back, and on either door of the V-45. If there should be an emergency landing, please exit my aircraft in an orderly fashion. Any questions?" Rebecca explained.

Lol, I like her.

Did they land in the Everfree, as per every human adventure in Equestria ?
