Projections
If Sunny was completely honest with herself, she wasn't quite used to being able to just waltz right into CanterLogic through the front gates yet, after being thrown out and banned so many times. But this time, security recognized her and let her right on through with a Level 3 Visitor's Pass.
Even though the annual show was eleven months out, the CanterLogic factory was as lively as ever. She had been here enough times to know to stay behind the yellow and black lines, and to keep an eye out for forklifts as she made her way towards Phyllis Cloverleaf's office, which overlooked the entire production floor. Cutting off to the side, she made her way past three idling forklifts, and climbed the iron stairs up to the wide-windowed manager's office. She knocked a couple times, and her hoof was on the doorknob just as she heard "Come in, come in!"
She turned the knob and pushed the door open, being greeted by the smiling face of Phyllis Cloverleaf.
"Sunny! How have you been, sweetheart?" Phyllis welcomed, getting up from her desk and walking around to give her visitor a hug as the door swung closed, greatly muffling the hustle and bustle noises of the production floor.
"I can't complain."
"I hear the permits to fix up the lighthouse are being approved any day now, and I'm very proud to say that just this morning, I've got our first unicorn applicant." Phyllis stated proudly.
"Really? That's fantastic!" Sunny replied.
"So how was your trip?" She asked, leading her guest over to one of the cushioned chairs on the opposite side of the desk.
"Productive. That's actually why I'm here." Sunny answered, reaching into her saddlebag, coming out with the oak box, placing it gently on her desk and sliding it towards her.
The factory director opened the box, and her eyes widened at the three glimmering gems resting securely in the box; topaz, cyan, and rose quartz.
"Oh my. What have we got here?" She asked.
"Look closely, there's an image embedded in each one." Sunny told her.
Phyllis adjusted her glasses and leaned in towards the box. As she crossed the specific angle, she saw the image of a small purple dragon helping put together some kind of broken statue in a ballroom in the gem on the right, her eyes widening in surprise. She then looked over to the one in the middle, and saw the same dragon, along with four ponies on a boat, with a large sea creature in the background. Lastly, she looked at the one on the left side of the case. It seemed to be a... Sporting field of some kind. It was a cheerleading squad, and some of the cheer squad were not ponies.
"Incredible... Was this how they took pictures back then?" Phyllis asked, looking back up at Sunny.
"I don't think they're photographs. I think they're memories, enchanted into the individual gems. We've got two hundred and twenty of them, and each one is unique, so please treat them with the utmost care." Sunny replied.
Phyllis nodded in understanding.
"Absolutely, but, what would you like me to do with them?" She asked.
"In order to keep the gems, and the memories inside them, as safe as possible for an untold number of museum patrons, I'm wondering if you could design a... Projector, of sorts, to display the image contained in the gem up on a wall display or screen."
Phyllis took her words to heart before looking back down at the gems in question, putting a hoof to her chin in thought.
"Hm. I can give Facet down on Seaside Drive a call. In order to be absolutely safe, I think it will be best if we start with replicas that can take a few dings. Sunny, I'll get R&D started on this right away, and we'll give it our absolute best shot. I'll let you know as soon as we have something concrete."
Sunny smiled at her.
"Thank you so much, Phyllis. So... So how's Sprout?"
The mother's face became a bit more somber at the question.
"Oh, well... Well, he's trying. He really is. I've got to give him that. I realize it's going to take him a very long time to make up for what he did, and I think he realizes it too. I just hope he's prepared for how long it might take." She said, as she softly closed the oak case containing the gems.
"As long as he gives it genuine effort, I hope he's treated fairly. Well, I won't take up any more of your time, Ms. Cloverleaf. Thank you again."

Splendid work on this latest chapter. Really appreciate the effort going into this. Again, the exchange and characterizations are rather well done. Definitely liked the bit about Sunny thinking to herself concerning how she still isn't used to be just let in Canterlogic's front gates when she was going to talk to Phyllis. Also liked Sunny pointing out to Phyllis how carefully the memories need to be treated and Phyllis commenting on the progress that has been made in this short time.
I like where this is going
I like where you're taking this story, even if you've grown past your original idea.
Also, "She knocked a couple times, and her hand was on the doorknob. . ." I'm pretty sure this isn't an anthro story
I think you got a word or two wrong in this chapter. Shortly after Sunny arrives at the factory you said 'hand' when i think you meant 'hoof' for when Sunny reached the office and 'Desk' when i think you meant 'Guest' when Phylis was leading Sunny to a cushion.
Ok so she want to CanterLogic and show it to Phyllis what she and her friends found the memories gem and it's pretty cool to see those pictures again bringing back memories and we heard that Sprout is trying after the damage he's done I wonder what else that's going to happen next

Thank you! Fixed!
Well I’m glad you didn’t.

Likewise!
While I appreciate the fast and frequent updates, don't be afraid to pace yourself. Also, don't be afraid to end the story where it's appropriate. A story that drags on past it's due date will often spoil the rest of it.
Now onto the projection slideshows or maybe they'll find the School of Friendship next.

No worries. I never write things on a whim to milk something. I go through it in my head, make sure it fits, then start typing.
Just gets better and better
You've got a story here that can go more or less wherever you want and go on for however long you want it to.
This is a story of exploration and rediscovery. Just exploring the old Equestria that we knew alone could take you 100 chapters or more and this does not include any other side stories or plots you may want to introduce.
G5 is a brand new world, built over an old but known one, rediscovering the past is as important as living in the present and not can go hand in hand.

Remember the tree of harmony being turned into a treehouse by the young 6?
And remember the scene where hitch runs past a lone tree in rolling plains?
The show staff confirmed that it was the tree of harmony. So that means it’s at least 1000 years
everyone likes to shit on Sprout but if you ask me his becoming the dragon ball z abridged Yamcha or kirlan
where I have to say this is not 100% at fault here, now am not saying he's not a fault at all far from it but if I have to say share the blame a little the city is at fault as he did tell them to "there nothing to worry about" and the people of that city didn't want to hear that and try to feed into the panic and in turn he becomes panic.
but ya the BattleTech mech that one is all on him, but for the whole city ya they share it a tiny bit as they allow this to happen as well, I mean if anything his mom most likely has a huge sale of all her non-lethal weapons.

you're welcome, glad i could help
It would really be something if they could hear the voices of The Guardians. Imagine the image not only being projected but coming to life for all the ponies to relive the events of Twilight and her friends.

you may have intended to end this story eight chapters ago as you say. however, in my personal opinion, a true writer needs to know that a story will sometimes take on a life of its own and whatever limits the writer themselves have on it must be discarded. writers are the conduit in which the stories of other worlds come into existence. it seems to me that this story wants to be told and wants you to tell it.

Oh it wouldn't be the first time, believe me. I'm used to it by now.

Just try to make each Arch a potential stoping point, so whenever you run out of steam you don't leave too many threads. Then hit will feel like more of a collection of stories in the same setting that just a super long one that your out of hand.
It looks like they got more crystals memories hopefully Phyllis knows what she's doing with them
Welp, looks Phyllis is finns be busy for a while.
Good.
