Thorax is a junior processor, class Q, and has lived his entire life in the hive, yet he dreams of things bigger. Grander. Much more important than watching pH levels in vats all day. Wouldn't you know it, his application to the espionage services gets accepted, too! Maybe he really is going places!
Except he nearly flunked the exam, and knows nothing of the outside world. Regardless, Queen Chrysalis charges him with a very important mission: Spying on the inhabitants of Ponyville, especially Twilight Sparkle.
Nothing, of course, goes right after that.

Finding herself not doing so well in school, and put upon by her parents to get a job this coming summer, Miamore Cadenza, or "Cadence" to her friends, finds her life taking peculiar turns as she encounters a force she cannot quite understand.
Something powerful, something ancient, is stirring in Equestria once again, and Cadence finds her destiny inexorably tied to it, as events beyond her control conspire to shape her life in ways she is not prepared for. The first in a three-part epic series from the director of the now-defunct MLP:First Contact game, this story combines low comedy and high adventure in a way that will leave you glued to your screen.
