“Far into Equestria’s future, past the point of technological singularity, my little ponies live on in robotic bodies powered by pieces of magitek known as ELEMENTs. Canterlot has expanded to cover its entire surrounding valley, becoming the megacity known as Canterlopolis.”

“Each night these ponies plug-in and power down to recharge, entering the virtual reality of Dream.net to relax together. But there is something evil moving in the background, unnoticed. Through its machinations, the pieces have gradually been falling into place, and soon its grand design will be fulfilled. I have been made powerless to stop it. But I’ve found a loophole.”

“Twilight Sparkle… you are my final gambit. As I look down on the world, I can see in it the echoes of the past. Where I have failed, I know you will succeed. I know this because even though this digital age has changed everything, my little ponies’ analog souls will always remain the same."

"Good luck on your journey and above all, remember this… make some friends.”
