Necromancy is a form of magic that involves raising the dead, usually for an evil or unnatural purpose. This is not the story of an evil necromancer, but the Memoirs of one Renovator Caesorum, a name that, in the oldest of pony languages, means Raiser of Fallen. He invented great spells in an attempt to understand the afterlife, something that nopony has done since. History has forgotten him, but his book is found and translated by Twilight Sparkle, who quickly becomes surprised at his experiments.

Aliens have been sighted on and around Earth for centuries. But a single description keeps popping up in history. Four legs, big eyes, and a unique mark on the hind legs. The first real proof was in April of 1947. Ever since then there have been reports sprinkled throughout the decades. But now one has been captured alive, and an old military base has been re-purposed to hold them. People were right about aliens, but they got one thing wrong. They're not from the stars, they're from Special Camp number 2.

Rainbow Dash has a terrible dream about Scootaloo.
