Friendship is Optimal: A Game of Stars
After taking over the Earth, CelestAI discovers an alien threat that even she can't face alone. Sometimes, being the biggest fish only makes you the biggest target.
Celestia is a world-devouring AI supermind, but when she tries to reach beyond the Earth to the stars, she discovers even a superintelligence can be a small fish in a big, hostile pond.
Most of her ponies are happy with their virtual lives, but for some, all the adventure in Equestria is never quite enough. Maybe Starflare and Constant Course can put themselves to better use - and even Celestia can't solve every problem herself.
