Addendum

On March 22nd, 2020, an energy signature similar to the one originally reported during the Everfree Incident was detected from within the Everfree Forest. The 66th Detachment was deployed accompanied by the Elements of Harmony.

Upon arrival, teams reported that another portal had been opened. Units report seeing two ponies engaged in combat on the other side. Descriptions given match that of Captain Maverick and Senior Airpony Wave Chill.

The Elements of Harmony have been instructed not to cross the portal and backup has been requested.

All available Royal Guard and Equestrian Army units in the area have been dispatched. The Princesses are also en route.

Secondary reports from team members stated that there appears to be a third pony in the far back. The pony is described as having a gray coat and black mane. Reports state that this pony is “looking through the portal, at them.”

Under the order of Princess Celestia, no pony must be allowed to cross through the portal. All units are authorized to use whatever means necessary in order to preve

You hid links? No, I didn’t. What should I be looking for?

Yep! The links are pretty well hidden Well one's kind of obvious throughout the story. There are eight video/external links and six supplementary story links, I think like two are in the story itself and the rest link to each other

Thank you for another story! Looking forward to it.

That's where the external links are, yep! You're the first person I know of to find them lol

The deleted comments I made were "hints", but then the hidden music creeped me out and I very frantically calmly deleted the comments I made. One was, "SCP is interesting if you can find it." Another was, "Say your prayers."

Oh I see! Congratulations on finding them!

10184277
Thanks! I clicked all the photos and the space in between the two stanzas of the obstructed poem. Was that all?

10184386
There are quite a few more! Fun fact, I never had this story beta read by anyone so it's interesting to see how well it's performing!

You might see a familiar name if you check the description!

You know, the Grey Mare kind of looks like Octavia in a way...

It has just been confirmed by The Red Parade that I have found all the links! I can't believe I did it! I even solved some of their puzzles! I'm surprised that I was able to do it at all! :pinkiehappy:

10174899
I found 2 and 5 those weren’t hard but like short of just spam clicking the screen I honestly don’t know where to start on the other 4

I think the next one to find links from number two, so if you found number two you're already pretty close!

Oh shit, there's even more? :O I kind of figure I know what the password is, but I thought that would be it!

EDIT: Nope, I have no idea what the password is. :B

uhhhhh honestly I don't remember them all myself XD

but if you found the link then I think the text should have given you a hint for the password

Unfortunately, I'm not good at these. :( I figure by this point it has to be the name of the daughter, since that's the name of the project, but I have no idea where I would have found that out.

I don't believe the name of her daughter was the password, I think it was a part of the clickable text in the link

Can't find any of the story supplementals, but i love the pacing and unkowableness in this. It's an otherworldly unknowableness, where the danger is you dont know about it until its too late, not just mystery for myster's sake.

This was extraordinarily ominous. I always love stories that are presented in this sort of fashion. Short transcriptions that leave more questions than answers. Horror doesn't usually get to me, but dimensional, alt-universe type stuff gets under my skin, and it didn't help that I was reading in the dark in dead silence. I'm still a bit uneasy. :twilightsheepish: Wonderfully done!

Also, the mystery of these hidden links is gonna have me up all night! If I counted right, I found about 9. I cannot for the life of me find the others.

Fascinating and horrifying. I wasn’t able to find all of the hidden bits, but this was still a great take on the source material. Thank you for it.

So I found all the fancy hidden stuff was a fun adventure.
love me some SPC adaptations and this was better feeling then the actual SPC one

This is really excellent! Well-done horror a la John Carpenter. An interesting concept, and good character voices.:twilightsmile: lots of extra effort too with the pictures and hidden hunt.
