A soldier, an archeologist, and an android move to a small town in the furthest reaches of Equestria—a town run by a classified institution that safeguards the odd and inexplicable. A town built over the ruins of an ancient pre-Equestrian civilization. A town in the middle of a corruption scandal relating to an ancient artifact of unknown power.
Howdy
What is Eureka all about?
11740573 It's a detective show set in a near-future sci-fi world's R&D town.
<sees meep story post>
https://m.Seriously, glad to see you're back mate
*sees new Meep story*
*Reads all three chapters*
*is now a relapsed Meep story addict and desperately wanting more*
Awesome to see you back with more of your amazing writing, can't wait to read more and see where this all go's
Oh my god, the cover image! XD
It's good to see more Meep stories. I'll read it as soon as I get a chance.
sees Meep started another story
clicks on it out of interest and affection for the author
IS HOOKED ON HER STORYTELLING AGAIN!
Nice to see you again, Meep. Maybe we can chat sometime. I consider you a friend I don't get to chat with often enough.
Looking forward to the next chapter!
11741077 I made that as a low-effort shitpost for one of my pre-readers. I liked it too much not to make it the cover.
The minute I saw the cover image for this story I knew it was going to be a good one.
Me when new story from Meep;
11743406 Good to see you're around, Life :3
Been there, done that, never again. Not covering that much ground, anyway. Shorter trips don’t leave one as sore and exhausted.
11744428 Lots of people like to hike. Few like to go out brushcrafting.
Well, this is very entertaining so far. Looking forward to future chapters.
Which I apparently wasn’t quite at the end of yet. Yay!
Cute couple. Throuple? Is Trixie ready to be a stepmom to a filly five times her age?
I love the dynamic this main group has already, we have the two derps, the sweet but logical one, the wise old one with the heart of a kid, I cannot wait to see what sort of shenanigans they all get up to.
Also I wonder what will happen with Junebugs family, it sounds like they do own the land, but how much and the actual border seems to be in debate. Also are they really planning to camp out for 3 years and then live in the bunker? Like I feel this plan of her dad's was poorly thought out long term.
Are you SURE there is not a spider in the background, knitting, cackling 'Oh what a tangled web we weave...'? Sure seems like it to me!
I'm gonna like this tale!
Your story has completely inspired me to rewatch the entirety of Eureka. And the only thing I remember from that show is that cows died a lot. And Lowjack
11745927 It's a shame that the show happened just before and then during a Writer's Guild Strike. You can see the moment the strike started while watching :/ It would be a real classic rather than a cult classic if not for that bit of history.

Our species did that millenia so that we could enjoy nature from behind shatter proof windows. If God wanted us to live amongst the bears and geckos, He wouldn't have made not nature would he?
Thankfully we, the greatest of His making, endeavor ever against that insidious bitch and her dolphins.
Love the changes you made to add more depth in Sam's initial chapter and Night's section of the second chapter, Meeps. Definitely more fully worked out compared to the original version. You're already well aware that I love this story, but I'm eager to see what all has changed since the last version you showed us. June's argument with her family is better done now, too, leaving it clear that they were talking past each other and everyone was too tired and stressed to communicate properly.
Took me way too long to get over here to read the final version, too.
This is a bit more... personal a story, huh?
What June said...
I know I'm gonna LOVE this tale!
Thanks, Meep!
Shocking reveal!
Dusk forgot to mention a thing, oops!
Why don't they just donate a pint or two from the town?
I finally got time to read this and I'm loving it so much! It's chock-full of officially-licensed Meep-brand humor and seeing just how this particular permutation of Equestria works and what its history is like is fascinating!
I'm also wondering what the hell kind of "thing" could possibly transmute or swap out a refrigeratey bit into/with a self-sustaining micro-scale aurora.
What the hell did I just stumble upon
11755157 Some stuff I wrote for the lolz.
It's okay, Violet; the moon never replies to me, either.
You really did excellent work with the conversation between Enox and June after they woke up together. Really showcased that both of them are going into this idea of a relationship intelligently and trying to head things off before they become a problem.
Raven is so furious there at the end, but she's a good leader and is saving it for an appropriate target.
Hold on, Pinkie is here and she just indicated that she isn't an element of harmony, we also saw Fluttershy in a previous chapter,then who are the element bearer here???
I agree with June, WHAT! We had better get some answers of what in the heck is going on.
11769681 While not important to this story: Twilight, Lyra, Bigmac, Applebloom, Bonbon, RD.
Meep, you stopped there?! This is cruelty! Now I have to wait for more.
And oh, do I want to read more.
11770519 More is coming :3
I think you put some extra letters in June's name there.
They found it and were going to announce it to the rest of the community but then forgot why they were there after they arrived.
Probably should have used it on themselves first.
Spoiler, it doesn't. Has she heard of the SAO Abridged Parody?
dr who
Silence in the Library? They didn't melt people but same otherwise
So we have an oily, eldritch shadow monster doing questionable things to unsuspecting ponies, a library with an infestation of flesh melting shadows, and an astrolabe with an eldritch brain with a sweet tooth inside that keeps a shadowy ancient evil locked away somewhere that has been out of its proper locking position for many, many multiples of the recommended maximum time frame for it to not be locking that evil away.
These cannot be related at all. Nope!
11776494 Good catch, thank you. Fixed it!
11776579 Sadly, her people are unaware of the good version of SAO.
I finally get the free time to check on the last update and find that there's been another while I was busy?! You've been BUSY!
Well fuck. Reading the inscriptions is important, people. And the warnings should come BEFORE the instructions, damnit. This Archmagus, like many, is an asshole.
Mint seems to be as effective as an ophthalmologist's scribe.
I wonder where she came from - perhaps she is a creation of dark science.
11779079 Lol this story was finished like, a month ago. I'm just posting it a few chapters at a time.
You know, sometime ago Faust mentioned how she was looking for a replacement for Dawn as the new God of Life. I came up with a guy that never really went anywhere, but lets, for a moment, go to the office of Life for his view on certain topics.
.............................
In another place, another time, within the void between, there sits in place of the vast palace of Dawn a single office. And in this office sits a stallion of no particular note. Bearing a grey flecked ebony mane and a a light grey coat and festooned in a simple blazer and bow tie and physically speaking seemingly hoof crafted by the Gods as to be the physical avatar of maintaining the status quo, he looks over his newspaper, the ink of which seems to shift and ebb from one form to another while the photos change seemingly at a whim. Frowning, he points to a small sign at the front of his desk which reads Out to Lunch.
After a wait that could have easily been mere seconds or eons, the stallion folds his newspaper back up, sets it down, and walking to the front of his desk, flips the sign around, and returns to his seat. Nodding, he looks into the middle distance, a frown of a middle aged divorcee accountant upon his face, As he sits, his ears flick forward and back, hearing all and nothing, subtle shifts in his carefully maintained expression of bureaucratic neutrality seeming to convey not merely concept, but entire sentences with but a twitch of a brow.
Brow furrowing, the stallion of no note tapped a hoof on his desk for a moment or for an eternity, then giving a subtle frown that conveyed the been here before expression of any beleaguered parent having once again deal with an inquiry that had been covered a thousand times before, he opened a desk drawer.
"Sunlit."
From the drawer a muffled squishy sound of inquiry sounded.
"Could you get me the file on Junebug."
Another inquiry from the drawer, and the stallion nodded.
"Yes, the one in the woods."
At the sound of the drawers occupants muffled acquiescence, the stallion closed the drawer. For a time, he seemingly does nothing aside from a slight throat clearing or shifting a bit of detritus upon his desk that itself seems uncertain what manner of office space bric and brac it wishes to take, from pencil, to snowglobe, and finally seemingly content to settle itself as a miniature banzai once he's places it near one corner. Finished with that and rising, the stallion walks to a small fridge, and taking a bottle from it, he returns to his post. Opening it, the avatar of Life takes a sip of dasani. From his desk drawer, a couple of small taps sound. Opening it, he pulls a file from the desk at the exact center of all.
"Thank you Sunlit."
Closing the drawer at the occupants noise of acknowledgement, the stallion lays the file open across his desk, and nodding, closes it again after a moments look. Looking across his desk, a subtle frown in place, this one conveying Bitch Do I Come To Your Street Corner To Knock The Job Out Your Mouth.
"The current template of the sub tribe pegasus of Homo Equus is well within its evolutionary parameters and is a perfectly adequate means of genetic conveyance for its user. No adjustments are required and your objection has been duly noted."
Nodding again. and shifting his expression into one of sympathy, the stallion takes a flask from his blazers pocket, and taking a swig, gives his head a shake.
"Yes, that particular anomaly was a decided favorite of my predecessor. Whether neccesary or not, his delight in its subsequent consequences were... unseemly. I have thought to remove it, but that would require a complete reset on the equines biological make up. I would literally have to scrap them to start again. Sorry ma'am, but I refuse to do so."
For a moment, the stallions thought turns contemplative.
"But one can sympathize with Dawn. There is one memory of his that's clear as crystal: he walked the world one day to ponder what he'd done and came upon a fox trapped by a tree root. Or perhaps a rabbit. It shifts as his memory had in his madness, but the story remains how he, being the benevolent god he was, undid its leg from the root. The creature then bit him. It then occured to Dawn how little control he actually had, and I think that's what began to twist him. Still a dick though."
......................................
I should also note that the new Death and Life do get along better then their predecessors. Apparently new Death likes how their new siblings eyes are full of stars and new Life appreciates their impassioned pursuit of quote "Screeching kung fu bitches who hurt best bat pony and those weird jellyfish things you made."
I turned a middle aged vaguely suicidal accountant in the new God of Life. How do you like them apples Meep?
Mech bay!
excite
Little green mares in giant fucking mechs!
I feel like the section with the city's administrative AI should be letting me put more pieces together than it is. Maybe I'll have more thoughts when I'm better-rested?
I do wonder what happened to bury an entire city underground so quickly. Is there something I missed in an earlier chapter?
"Her fall speed seems really off, Meep. She's falling at like mach 0.6. Lemme do the math for that..."
45 minutes later...

"Anyway, that's when I found out it's a looping function and the guy who made the video created a handy python script to solve it within 99.9% completion, since it's an exponential function that approaches infinity which would crash the program, meaning it would take her 51 seconds to fall 2km and be 893 meters above the ground, thus making her total time to impact approximately 64.5 seconds!"
Poor June
