"All you have to do is look into the gem, and the test will be over before you know it!”

How far would you go for the right price? And would the end justify the means?

After a botched experiment, Silver Sterling finds herself thrust into a grim new existence in the Equestrian Wastes. Simultaneously robbed of her old life and given a chance to live anew, she must learn to adapt, survive, and thrive to ever have a chance of making it out alive in this harsh new world.

Saved from certain death by a local scavenger, she becomes entangled on a quest to find a long lost musical relic for a reward most ponies would kill for. And to save her own skin. It's a wild, wild wasteland out there.

_{Based on the original Fallout: Equestria by Kkat. Reading the original is recommended but not required.}

_{The prologue through to the first couple of paragraphs of Chapter Five were written in 2018. I've not written anything since, but this story has been living in my head for almost 10 years now, so it's well past time I get it out of there. Hopefully anyway. We'll see how it goes. In case you couldn't tell I tend to dip in and out. More out than in.}
