Amazing chapter and amazing chapter! I hope to see more of this soon!

Awesomesauce!

-constructive criticism be damned!

Great work! I'm loving this so far!

I've also sent you a facebook message, with a list of simple edits to correct some minor things in this chapter.
If you want, I could also edit your future chapters too, but I'm more of a grammatical editor, rather than a thematic editor.

Keep up the good work!

Thanks everyone so much for reading this, I hope you all enjoyed it.

This is my first story, so Criticism would be welcome.

Thaks to thaecrasis and orfearus for helping with edits.

Chapter 2 and three will be posted as soon as edits and proofreading is done, should be soon

You are a cruel, cruel man to be sending ponies up against X-COM aliens.

Her eyes met the strange creature, and it received the full force of The Stare.

I actually feel sorry for the Sectoid Commander.

And as I usually can, I saw the whole field before me. What a battle.

Welcome to the group.

Hi, I just finished reading the chapters you have so far. I have to say I love the way you have the ponies forming the Xcom organisation. It feels like a very natural response to their situation. Many attempts at crossovers have the characters doing things that are out of character or using situations that seem highly contrived to get the ponies to follow the script of the other piece of fiction being blended in. You have managed to make it feel very organic. Well done.

Will the pony Xcom be recruiting other species as soldiers in the future? I hope so. It would make for an interesting parallel to have two sides made up of alliances of multiple species.

I do have mixed feelings about killing Fluttershy right at the start. It is... very Xcom, but not very MLP at all. I understand why the story needed it to happen, I just wish you could have found another way.
Actually, now that I think about it...
****SPOILER****
Since the goal of the invasion (at least in the game) was to find or create a race with great telepathic power, shouldn't they have considered Fluttershy a prime candidate for abduction?

Thanks for feedback. I wanted to explore how somthing like Xcom would be set up.

Without to many spoilers there will be more than ponies in Xcom, and ponies aren't humans.

Hey, you're back! Sweet!
I wish I could give you another like for this chapter. I'm surprised this story isn't more high profile.

Thanks for the compliment. I haven't really tried to pimp this story much, which might explain why no one has heard of it. I always keep meaning to join some groups, but never get around to it.
