Autumn Melody Delight, or plain Melody to most ponies. Is a young but brilliant science mare who has barely reached her adulthood. She lives a life of repetitive tedium and boredom as her Mother's lab assistant working on an experiment that, to her knowledge, has been completed three generations ago. What experiment you might ask, a way to repopulate Equestria with the limited gene pool available form Stable residents, and to avoid inbreeding.

Her life is thrown into disarray though with ponies becoming paranoid about imagined genetic experiments being conducted on unborn foals.The paranoia and mistrust of the science team reaches a boiling point, with a horrifying event. Melody finds herself forced to leave the safety of her Stable with her AI companion Caramel Smooch and the two security mares Scarlet Radiance and Cherry Stellar at her side she sets off as an exile in the equestrian wasteland.

Introduction

Message to Overmare of Stable Epsilon.

Hello!

My name is Scootaloo. You probably know me as the founder of Red Racer. Today I am talking to you as the vice-president of Stable-Tec. If you're hearing this, that means Omega-Level Threat Protocols have been enacted and you have been appointed as Overmare of a Stable-Tec life-preserving Stable. You have been chosen for your sense of loyalty and duty to Equestria, to the ponies around you and to this company. While Equestria might be... possibly is... nothing but blasted and irradiated rubble now, our ideals have to live on.

Your Stable has been selected to participate in a vital project. The first goal of your Stable, like all others, is to save the lives of the ponies inside.  But you also have a higher purpose beyond saving the lives of individual ponies. I know you must be confused by you are getting another of these messages. Your Stable was initially sealed under false pretences; there were no bombs at least not when the Stable was sealed. I hope you can someday forgive us for this deception. But the research being conducted in your Stable is of the highest importance. They really did it; every pony is dead, including me... you are the only hope for Equestria now.  You must understand that it doesn't do ponykind any good to save ourselves now only to annihilate each other later.  We must figure out where we went wrong. We must do better!

Inside the safe in your office, you have already found a set of special instructions and objectives, as well as details on how your specific Stable has been fitted to carry out your part. Please, I implore you to not stop the research. When the Stable doors open... there will be nothing left, we will need to repopulate the world. We could only save so many. We are counting on you to find a way to repopulate Equestria and to do better, by any means necessary. Without that, all of this will have been for nothing. With a starting population of five hundred ponies we've calculated that you can avoid inbreeding for... two hundred years. It is imperative that you broadcast the signal as per your instructions the moment you find a solution. if anyone is left alive out here... If there is anything left of Stable-Tec we need to know. If not the mainframe will provide you with all the locations of other Stables. If that is the case, it is up to you to get the solution to them.

The fate of our entire race rests in your hooves. Thank you from all of Equestria, and may the goddesses up there have mercy on us all.
