Working in maintenance is never easy. But the constant work load, the long hours and the risks that can come with it are all part of the job. Gearshift, an earth pony stallion working in Trottingham's Stable 54, understands this better than most.

But when an incident in the stable forces him and others to flee out into the wasteland, an entirely new set of problems are thrust upon him. How will Gearshift adapt to his new surroundings and what will become of his stable and the life he must leave behind?

Most characters involved in this story are of my creation. Although there are a couple who belong to some good friends of mine.

Shadow Eclipse belongs to That Wasp At Your Picnic
And
Deputy Butch belongs to Alpha Wolf

This story was inspired by Kkat's original and wouldn't have been possible without it. Make sure to check the original if you haven't already.
