Year 2061: One year ago, while protecting her son Armin during a riot, Coraline's hand is destroyed during an attack. After gaining a robotic limb from Technomancer Industries, she joins a support group for augmented people.

Included in the group are a Twilight Sparkle Pod Pal who gained severe PTSD when she witnessed the death of another Twilight Sparkle on television, an enigmatic once-human Maud Pie who says little but knows much, and a Gardevoir-suited human whose choices have now left her with an identity she can't seem to remove.

Together, can this support group help Coraline find peace again after the tragic attack which took her hand (and almost her life) a year prior?

This story takes place in the "Equus Metamorphosis" storyline 11 years before the events of the main story. You don't have to read that story to understand this one. This is a self-contained one-shot. It helps you understand the main story a little more from the mother's perspective, and by itself functions as a story about how technology can affect our future. :)
