Some things are never meant to be opened, and our insatiable thirst for exploring things we don't quite understand is our gift and curse. This newly discovered universe holds many terrible dark secrets that it never meant to be revealed again. A lone Colonial Guard cruiser is dispatched to investigate one such oddity. As humanity struggles to find a way to make peace and coexist with the ponies of Equestria, what will these new discoveries hold?

This is the first official sidestory of Machine and Might by Kriegor and is independent of the original storyline.
