Equestria and Everglow have brushed against one another through the course of their histories, each time fleeting, but memorable to those involved. Many many years later, the unaging Twilight captains a space vessel to explore the universe and encounters some old memories of the past she had almost forgotten.
Everglow ponies were supposed to be in a whole other reality, but, perhaps, traveling far enough through the stars served the same purpose?
Equestria/Ponyfinder crossover that does not require reading anything before enjoying this tale. This story is being funded by a loyal Patron.
Another story? Welp, more reading for me then. ^_^
Huh, that reincarnation thing is bound to be confusing. Hell, this first chapter is confusing as fuck. But I'm willing to give it a go.

I'm sorry to hear that. I tried to keep it fairly straight. Where did I go wrong?
9550730
Probably is just me trying to remember those characters from years ago, or expecting different reactions, but I was constantly trying to understand just what's going on. The ancient apparitions/holograms in Twilight's ship didn't help on that aspect.
But then again, maybe it's just me.
9550740
Ah, so not directly my writing, but understandable. I am trying to give characters a chance to be learned over again. It's not like Twilight or the Everglow ponies really remember clearly either. It's like a fresh meeting with benefits.
I wonder when Octavia will show up, since she is listed in the tags.
Regenerative Arc ship? And thats with FTL? @.@
Twilight touched Vinyl? I would have thought given the length of time with her freinds that not only acoustic based hardlight forms, but a decent crystaline processing core with self learning, given the apparent literal lifetimes duration of travel, the database would be comprehensive enough to be alive?
As for Pinkie. Mr Spock once built a Chaos Computer, something made out of random asorted items, that Evrefree witches, or at least Discworld ones, call a Shamble? I presume it works by being closer to the underlaying reality, and quite possibly that there is only one chaos computer, and all nodes are but facets. A principle of Generalised L-Space Theory.
Spike not a Space Dragon yet? or is still gaining XP for his next evolution level up stage?
Ah, that was it, based on the Aricebo message, a block of binary thats the product of multiple prime numbers, so you can do simplified printed text, comparisons, diagramatic representations etc, and with self decriptive metadata as well? Still working on that.
So...Starfinder or Starjammer?
Vinyl, I'm assuming.
I mean, I know Twilight's a bookworm and all, but activating the teleporter by saying "Read"... that's typo... er... I mean, epic.
And on a different note:
Oh Spike... you have grown STRONG in the snark. Well done, Spike... well done.
9550991
I'm not sure it matters to the narrative tooo much but I'd lean towards Starfinder.
9551001
Fix fix fix, thanks for the reports.
9551005 Trick question! Starjammer has a Starfinder version now (in addition to its original Pathfinder 1E)!
9551012
I am le defeated!
(dead horse noises)
Does this mean Ponyfinder's getting a space opera expansion?
9551299
It did, Beyond Everglow.
"willed over" means to leave something to your inheritors in your last will and testament. Is that really what Twilight was doing with the statue?
9552274
Reworded for clarity.
I... alright.
Lashtada be praised?
So, some logisitical... things. If they are out long enough for regular ponies to die, without contact from other races, how do they keep sustaining? Food and water? And then, how do they not go insane without anyone than each other to interact with?
... could it have been that they started this not married?
And then does the Everglow Champions ship also not contact others?
I bet it's cloning, to make new generations.
9552421
I actually doubt they have much romantic passion flowing between them, but love comes in more flavors than that.
Hmmm. I'm feeling mixed about this story. On the one hand I love the premise ( I expect Discord to show up and put Equinity on trial), and love the idea of seeking out new friendships and new civilizations, boldly going where no pone has gone before.
On the other hand, Twilight marrying
her stepsonthat guy she raised from an egg? Makes me a bit uncomfortable. I guess we'll see how this goes.Huh. This does raise the question of how this interacts with Octavia and Vinyl on a postapocalyptic dustbowl Everglow. Still, this should make for some very fun sci-fi. Looking forward to it.
Seriously Twilight no weapons at all?! We all know what happened to John Harriman he let his ship leave dry dock without several nessary components namely a tractor beam and a medical staff. Why in all the name of Harmony would you not have at least something for defense!!
Hmm how about a chapter based on one of my fave st voyager episode with the holograms and nazis and the hirogen or the ds9 episode if wishes were horses
9563773
The SR-71 doesn't have any weapons either, and was never lost to enemy ordnance. Maybe the ESS Friendship was designed to outrun threats rather than fight. Something it couldn't really do with the command crew off ship.
So the real question is, why did Twilight and Spike leave their ship? The answer, of course, is to set up the plot. It's an idiot ball moment.
9563854
Why wouldn't they leave their ship to meet with a friendly new, very first ever, alien species? They clearly hadn't run into anything else hostile before then.
9563863
Off the top of my head? Their friendship could be a facade, and they might not want to risk putting themselves in their new contacts' power. In any event, they would be outnumbered on the new contacts' ship. They could have met with their contacts by bringing one over to their ship, or finding a nearby planet (yes, space is big, but this is fiction, there's always a nearby planet).
But really, the motivation is easy to see. Two ships are redundant, and there's more chance for the characters to collide off one another if they're all sharing the same space.
9563868
They recognized Fast Shadow, I remind, who also recognized them. Twilight was also convinced friendship was the way.
So why would they be scared of the new ponies?
Twilight cant use the time spell to go back and stuff a bug out bag if only one trip, and if repeatable within enough duration, head back and port it clear of the ship for later collectiion?
Does Twilight have personal information storage with data representatives, communications protocols, logs etc actually on her? Or just relied on the ship around her for all that?
Flutterpony borg? Awesome.
Oof. Well, I hope Twilight never planned on going back. It's not like Equestria's going to be in this ship's star charts.
Also, very interesting inclusion of Octavia. Especially since her Everglow experience was in a different timeline. Whatever adventures are in store, they're sure to be fascinating.
That said, the cosmic flutterswarm left some typos in their wake:
Are.
forgot a word.
9570005
Fix fix. We can assume she was drawn by destiny and the presence of Bullette Belle.
Sad to see No Name couldn't make it. Plus I love how Spike shows how much he has learned and pointing out the obvious.
Spike, making sure at least someone doesn't think like a wizard
Can I just say that Bullette is just the best, as always?
Spoken well!
A wild planet has appeared.
Which is more violent? the standard decontamination procedure, or dipping in high temperature fluidic aliminosilicate lava?
Great to see 'Tavi and Belle reunited. Shame Friendship Points don't accumulate compound interest
And that's how Spike invented the hazmat suit.
In any case, Bullette apparently has cross-continuity cloud computing. That or we're post-postapocalypse. Either way, it's good to see the perfectly normal filly. And a vestige of her best friend, if nothing else.
While I'm sure Star is amazing, her pressing a button likely did not invoke a 'when'.... dark or otherwise. As well, there is enough space outside their ship, the extra in the brackets should probably be returned to its natural habitat.
Otherwise, Bullet is being adorable again and I look forward to future erupting space shenanigans. Nicely done.
9591575
I can find no extra spaces, but the other bit is fixed.
Abruptly, the comms ceased.
In other words,
it
Fascinating tech.
No need for that.
9591931
Fixed!
Can't argue with that!
9591593
Hah... copy and paste managed to typo for me then. YAY! That simply means that they're now actively trying to cause trouble.
Well done, your story has angered the typo gods and they are sending their minions to sow confusion!
Actually, I imagine it gets less interesting over time. Might want to rephrase that.
