"Tired of your life on Equestria?  Feel as if there is nowhere new left to explore, nothing left to discover?  Then join the Celestial Board as a colonist!  We need doctors, engineers, and even toaster repair ponies!  Guaranteed work awaits you!

Thanks to the reengineered hibernation tanks designed by the former Ministry of Peace the ten year trek to the colony will seem like a few minutes!  Enjoy your rest, wake up refreshed, and set out for adventure!"

For Slim Chance the choice was easy. Her life before wasn't something that would shape the world around her. She was a pony that didn't know where her place was, what her place was, or even if she was she was supposed to be. The trip to the colony seemed like the best shot at finding some kind of purpose. But fate had different plans for her. Plans that will either save or doom the Colony and those living there.
