So FIM is an in story thing here. Nice. At least now we know for sure that she is based on NMM rather than being NMM.

Hmm, interesting, having someone there to to help (and who he is pretty certain isn't going to slack off or steal from him) should do a lot to help him going forward. With as clever as she is, maybe he'll let Midnight take care of the bookkeeping?

Precisely my point from the last chapter comment. Once I read that she was colored like Luna, but with a sour, "holier-than-thou" attitude, I instantly surmised that she is supposed to be Nightmare Moon, or rather, a black-market version of her, but without the helmet and regalia. For all intents and purposes, she is Nightmare Moon, just a robotic version. I don't see her trying to conquer the world, nor create an eternal night, but we shall see,,,

Yikes, I see what you mean. My eyes glossed over a lot after I saw your comment, went back and started searching through and finding those instances. I got em knocked out, I believe, and will keep better tabs on that. Thank you.

This is actually.. REALLY good. like i feel excited for it to be updated. i just hope it doesnt get abandoned like many good stories. please continue this and i will be here every episode of the way.

(Ps: The cover art looks really cool. it has the same high definition feel as art from hooves art, but when you look closer its actually drawn. it really sold me on checking this story)

Do we? If she's really Nightmare Moon, she also wouldn't have a radio ID. Being taken away by the government for being a scary alien and dissected probably isn't better than being a robot then gets dismantled.

She could easily be allowing him to believe the simple explanation rather than trying to convince him of the truth.

Story could still go either way.

okay yeah i like this story so far! ^^ I like the robot aspect of it too!

Nice story, like it.

Really liking this so far. The premise is something i haven't seen before and its honestly quite interesting to rhink about.

Though I hope her being a royal cunt, if you'll pardon the pun, isn't a permanent thing. There's only so much of that I can deal with before I just stop reading entirely tbh

I'm reaallyyy liking this premise so far

Intriguing. I'm looking forward to seeing where this goes.

Or maybe she's both?
If Nightmare was an entity in her own right then after the Elements blasted her out of Luna she would have to go somewhere. Maybe a somewhere that happened to have a robotic body in her likeness that could be merged with.

Love this story. Need me a car obsessed robo pony in my life

Dang. I had same thought

Starting to wonder if she was meant to be a 'custom' job.

Explaining her away should be very easy. She herself stated she came in as part of a like of garbage so leaning on that white lie would follow she was merely repaired by the new owner. This also gives legal standing to request a new RFID and proper verification, if the cards are played just right. Really, he should be somewhat excited for the excitement he's been presented with.
