Years in the future, ponies have taken to living on space stations, as the planet is no longer habitable. They live calm lives, kept safe by the A.I.'s that run the stations. Station V is one of these stations, protected by SAL 9000. However, they came with a price; only Sal knows the truth of the stations. But not of the planet below.

A cross-over fic (the first one based on this material) using elements of Stanley Kubrick's 2001: A Space Odyssey and Arthur C. Clarke's novel of the same title.
Thanks goes to my editor for all the great work he did.
