When you see a word marked in brown, it has a corresponding Codex Entry! Take a look at the last 'chapter' for additional information about the topic.
Chaos. Myth. Conspiracy.
What if, in some corner of the multiverse, there was a Brony Fandom that became something more? These alternate Bronies built incredible technological wonders that enabled them to outsmart another force that would seek their destruction - The Darkness, an ancient conspiracy that controlled the world like a marionette. 500 years later, Bronies have formed a vast interstellar Empire that encompasses the majority of the Orion Arm of the Galaxy. A prototype starship from this empire breaks through into Equestria due to a rounding error, and an epic HiE story ensues with copious amounts of love, adventure, and silliness. Sprinkle with moderately hard science fiction and simmer to taste.

Disclaimer: Don't take this seriously. I'd like to point out that I'm not obsessed with L&T, and in fact don't use it as a buzzword. This is mostly just an overly-complex idea I've had sitting around in my head for like 3 months. I've been stewing on it, developing the world, unifying it with all my other fanfics that I might finish someday, and more. Don't politic in the comments, children.
Feh. Anyway, this is where the vast majority of my fanfics will intersect if I get off my ass and ever finish them. The Archer Ruby is From Silent is the Damned, and Silent Sword will be making an appearance. Any other Cross-fictional connections will be formed as I come up with them.
Inspired by: Article 2, The Conversion Bureau (On like two things). the Equestrian Union's taste in aesthetics is inspired heavily by the UEF from Supreme Commander.
This is just the first installment, really more of a prologue. Stay tuned.
Edit: Since it starts at the end, maybe it's an epilogue...? Whatever.
I LIKE this story
. I don't often see this type of story being used with good quality writing, kinda like one of my favorite fanfic, Dark Space. I hope you continue this story
. I am really looking forward to it

This story has been in development for 6 months, off and on. Tell your friends about this! It's gonna be biblical.
(I didn't think my writing was that good...)
"My stories look best when read in Courier New!"
Ok what.
also: What if our fandom eventually grew to not just be about the show anymore?
So like, you mean the way it is right now? (Guaranteed replies.png)
1851953
What I mean is, in this timeline, the fandom became an actual nation, and then later an interstellar empire. It will start to make more sense as I continue on.
Hopefully.
Also, I don't know why I added that Courier New note. Thanks for catching that.
1851965 Ok then.
200 year lifespan?
Isn't that a bit much?
You know the Tragedy/Dark tag combo is probably driving away quite a few potential readers. Plus they contrast strongly with your description. If this really is a Tragedy you might want to take the "copious amounts of love, adventure, and silliness." bit out.
1852244
Actually, such a long lifespan is really not that inconceivable given that [SPOILER REMOVED], leading to [SPOILER REMOVED]. As the story will show [SPOILER REMOVED] is even more effective at modifying the body's natural lifespan when combined with [SPOILER REMOVED]
1852259
Hmm... Good point. I guess the adventure tag by itself fits much better. Fixed. Thank you for the input.
1852309 HUZZAH!! I was hoping that would be the direction it went! Moving from read later to read next! 5:00AM is to late to start new stories.
1852313
While there are some darker moments, it is primarily a Sci-Fi epic across multiple universes.
Of course, by 'dark', I mean 'the bad guy gets close to winning and the hero feels like shit, but eventually they do win.'
Oh wait, that's called the climax. My bad.
Remember to like, comment and favorite!
Uhm... That is if you like it.
and if its okay with you.
1852322 Yeah, Tragedy is when ''the hero gets close to winning and the long struggle is about to pay off, but then everyone dies'.
1852338
...
I plead insanity.
This story needs something... what is it, it's on the tip of my tongue!!
...
...
...
Oh that's right! It needs more chapters, I knew I would figure it out eventually!
1855581
Your wish is my command.
Codex was also updated. Let me know if you want me to elaborate on anything else in the story.
Edit: Hory sheet, this was one of the longest chapter's I've ever written.
1862577
Goddammit. Thank you. EDIT: Any other issues?
soooo....are the primary and secondary systems repairable? if they can't get them back online or if they were also gone to oblivion, I don't think they are going anywhere.
also, I know that you probably did this so that the humans won't be so OP but don't you think you did a little too much of it? here I was, excited for the crew to have the inevitable first contact situation with equestria with their awesome ship only to be there with what is now basically a floating coffin. devoid of any means to properly do anything like analyze samples they get from the planet, scan its orbit to know why the sun is the one revolving around equestria (assuming it does), or watch the ponies in their daily activities, analyzing their every movement to know what gesture means and find out what they can about them using their scanner or camera (what ever it is sci-fi star ships use to observe things in the planet while in high orbit).
hell, the things I have pointed would be useless if they can even go there.
but this is just my opinion. you most likely already have a plan for this and all of my worries will be blown to pieces. considering the first chapter, I at least know that they achieve something of an alliance with the ponies so it works out in the end.
looking forward for their first contact situation. the quality is still good by the way, keep up the good work!
1863601
It is repairable. The issue here is that it would take time. Time that they don't have.
And no, I am not trying to depower the humans. It'll make more sense when I post 2.2 either tomorrow or the next day.
oh
. okay then
. I just thought that they were also gone to oblivion like what happen in the bridge (where its like it become Swiss cheese since some parts are just flat out gone)
and what do you mean by "time they don't have" ?
says who? so long as life support is on and knowing that they have a stock of food and water in the ship, they can just stay put until the ship is fully repaired.
but what do I know?
you will most likely explain more in the next chapter so for now, I will just treat it as a question that everyone will want answered when they encounter a cliffhanger.
again great chapter. looking forward for the next one

Hehehehehehehe....
by the way, on your comments; how do you put a link in my username? the ">>beingme2" part I mean. I am still kinda new to this commenting thing so sorry if it should be common knowledge.
1865289
You just hover your mouse over the post you want to reply to. Once you've done that, two buttons should appear in the right hand corner of the post. The one on the left is the one you click. This inserts a string of numbers which becomes the replyee's username once the comment is posted.
It's cool.

got it! thank you
Nikola Tesla: This Serbian inventor and shrewd businessman
... Hahahahahahaha!
So this is an AU! Now I get it.

Yep! All there in the codex, people! I have a prequel fic planned as well called In Utter Darkness that will go more in depth with the differences. Of course, there is a pony element to it. You see, manages to cross over into this human world, finding has taken over , so decides to create to preserve truth. then takes on a different form.
What's that? Not specific enough for you?
cdn.derpiboo.ru/media/BAhbBlsHOgZmSSJoMjAxMi8xMi8xNC8yMF80OF81M180NzNfMTgxMTExX19VTk9QVF9fc2FmZV9hbmltYXRlZF9zd2VldGllX2JlbGxlX2V2aWxfaG9vZl9ydWJiaW5nX3NpbmlzdGllX2JlbGxlBjoGRVQ/181111__safe_animated_sweetie-belle_sleepless-in-ponyville_evil_hoof-rubbing_sinistie-belle.gif
That's the point...
Writer's Block is a biiiiiiitch....
Actually, it's not Writer's Block, per se. I have plenty of ideas to spare.
I just can't form the fucking words. I'm trudging ahead, though. I'm not going to abandon this. Anyway, I should have 2.2 out.... uhm, best case is tomorrow, but it may take until the weekend. Point is, it's coming.
Stay tuned.
EDIT: As of January Third, I've gotten 500 words of the chapter done. That's about 1/3 of my minimum length. I scrapped 2 earlier revisions in their entirety, which is why it took so damn long. I'm a damned nutcase / perfectionist.
EDIT 2: WHOOHOO! GOT IT DONE! It's a bit shorter than I wanted it to be, but it's good! Hopefully the next one won't take so damn long.
No Codex entries this time?

Oh boy I can't waite till the first contact will it go smooth (well the bronies woud ofcourse try to do thet once they learn thet they landed on equestria). How woud the princesses woud react to this I mean it's not every day for a godesses to meet wiht a new race which is from (problably if I read right) are from a other dimension and the new race is worshiping them as there godesses. How woud the ponies woud react then? What woud the elements of harmony woud react? Will the crashlanded humans somehowe contact back the rest of there colonies and tell them the wonderfull news?
It makes sense because considering how the brony fandom in this story has reached the galactic stage, everything there is to know about the universe of "my little pony" should be known to the humans too. it wouldn't be too far-fetched for the bronies in the ship to know everything because they most likely provided most of the world building in the MLP universe. just look at Ditsy Doo
. She wouldn't exist if it wasn't for the fanbase making her up. why not the language too
?
I am calling it RIGHT NOW!!
This is my prediction for the next chapter! If I am right, then it would be so 
!!

Let me put it this way: You're close. You're very close.
There will be an update soon, I've just been so damn busy lately.
this story needs more to it. chapter wise.
