In The Name of Science

by Dick McKickEm

CANCLED, guys, stop faving it.
Science.

I alway thought science was an okay subject, you know? In truth, I never really went for it. Unlocking the secrets of the universe and all that jazz never did it for me. I would've taken a nice musical script to a microscope any day. Science just wasn't that exciting. Though, a group of fuzzy orange geniuses would disagree with me. These guys called themselves "The Precursors"; a race of immortal fuzzballs that dedicated their eternal lives to the pursuit of scientific discovery.

It was The Precursor people that sent me here to Equestria. They just plucked me off the streets of my home city and dropped me, litterally, into the thick of things. I didn't know which way was up when I got there, because my good ol' human body was replaced by the body of some kind of furry weasel-thingy. After some general freaking out, I learned thet these dudes wanted me to "collect data" on Equestria for them. With no money, clothes, food, or supplies to speak of, I hopped on board with the whole thing.

Hoo boy, what a heck of a decision that was.

An indirect crossover with the Jak and Daxter lore. Also part of the Chess Game of the Gods mass collab. This group's other stories are not required reading, but you'll find a joke you don't get every once in a while if you're a stranger to the group.
