Origin Story

“Origin Story”

In the twenty-third year of the New Canterlot Republic, Golden Buckle Enterprises privately funded an expedition into the wastes of the Zebra Lands. The purpose of that expedition, along with most of what they discovered, is still classified.

In the course of that expedition, however, the following documents were salvaged from the Tenochtitlan Basin. The bulk of the documents appear to be fragments from a rough draft of an intended prequel to the Daring Do novel series. Each fragment of the novel which the expedition uncovered was coupled with an encrypted field report dating back to the final year of the Pony-Zebra War. The fragments served as part of a rudimentary cryptography pad. These, along with an algorithm obtained from the Final Echo numbers station at Shattered Hoof Ridge, allowed decryption of the military reports.

The nature and content of those reports have been analyzed and deemed to neither infringe on nor threaten the security or welfare of the New Canterlot Republic. These documents, including the associated military field reports, have therefore been declassified and are now openly available to the public.
