The SCP Foundation file on Equestria and all ponies in it

SCP-6: Universe of Ponies

Object Class: Euclid

This is an SCP Foundation-style file on the universe of Equestria
Subsequent Chapters will be formatted as recovery logs, research logs, Foundation Tales, and at least one application for use in Termination of another SCP
For those who are not familiar with the Foundation, see link in image source.

Author's Notes
For those who are familiar with the Foundation, and who don't like Foundation crossovers of any kind, please understand that there is a reason I posted it here instead of to the Foundation.
To everyone who said that it should be SCP-006, I deliberately left off the zeros so that it wouldn't be mixed up with the Fountain of Youth. It was meant as a pun on the mane six, and I'm sorry to everyone who didn't get that.
The Keter designation was mostly because well, would YOU want to contain Discord? I have now changed that. A third confirmed Discord Event will entail temporary promotion to Keter for so long as he remains active.
Otherwise, just patience. Chapter one was meant only as exposition. There will be more storylike elements in later chapters.

main entry

SCP-6

Object Class: Keter

Containment Procedures: unlike all other items in containment, SCP-6 is kept by the Foundation for its own protection. The entrance to SCP-6 is to be kept under guard at all times. The guards are not to be armed with lethal weapons. They are to be disguised as park rangers, and must have knowledge of all paths leading out of SCP-6 containment area. All paths leading to SCP-6 are to be kept blockaded off, and marked with signs indicating severe cave-in.

In the event of a Discord Event, Object is to be temporarily classed Keter until containment of SCP-6-04 is reestablished. Consultation with SCP-6-01 and SCP-6-02 is highly recommended. Only known method of containing SCP-6-04 is to transform it into a stone statue, using ambient energies of SCP-6. Guards at entrance to SCP-6 are to activate warning system placed within SCP-6. Should any alarms activate, Guards are to immediately set off dynamite placed to create a cave in burying the entrance to SCP-6.

Addendum: To test whether Earth is ready for the decommissioning of SCP-6, carefully controlled information is to be released in the form of a children's cartoon, and public reactions gauged. See Containment Log for further information on this procedure.

Object Description: SCP-6 is an alternate universe accessed through a cave in the [DATA EXPUNGED] park. SCP-6 is populated primarily by what are apparently fully sophont quadrupeds. These quadrupeds bear a passing resemblance to the ponies on earth, though they, and their entire universe have many cartoon-like qualities. The coats and manes of these “ponies” often express pigmentation not possible in terrestrial equines. There is rarely any correlation between the markings of parent and child, or between siblings. There seem to be three primary varieties of these so-called equestrians (With the exception of SCP-6-01 through -04:

1)Earth Ponies-these bear the most resemblance to our planet's horses, and have few, if any, abilities defying the laws of physics in our universe. There is some evidence, however, that they may be composed of dark matter or some other super-dense composite.
2) Pegasus Ponies- these bear a startling resemblance to the mythical Pegasus of our world, though it should be noted that their wings are strangely truncated, and it seems highly illogical that they are able to fly. Pegasus ponies also have the ability to walk on clouds, though this is not shared by any other ponies.
3) Unicorn Ponies- resemble the mythical unicorn, and have the ability to effect many psychokinetic changes in their environment, including but not limited to: levitation, teleportation, and fundamental transmutation of both living and inanimate matter.

There are many other species also present in this universe, though only perhaps 50% of these appear sophont. Most bear a distinct resemblance to mythical earth creatures, such as dragons, phoenix, and griffin, or are apparently puns on the names of actual earth animals, such as timberwolves entirely composed of wood.

Ponies are the only beings of this universe to have progressed past the hunter-gatherer stage of civilization, and have built a vibrant and peaceful culture around their various talents, music, and what they call "friendship magic". They believe that all ponies are born with a calling in life, a theory verified to an extent by the mysterious phenomenon of “cutie marks”: small and sometimes quite detailed pictograms on the flanks of all adult ponies. This pictogram always in some way represents the “special talent” of the pony bearing it, though occasionally this is in a highly abstract manner. Many ponies have shown a tendency to project the idea of “special talents” onto all researchers.

Due to the extreme power demonstrated by SCP-6-01 through -04, it is thought that uncontrolled contact between the Equestrian universe and ours could cause a CK-, LK-, SK, or XK- class end of the world scenario for either or both universes. All researchers involved with SCP-6 have insisted that this universe be kept as pure and peaceful as is possible, and that its denizens must be protected.

SCP-6-01 is potentially the most powerful being in the SCP-6 universe, with the possible exception of SCP-6-04. It is an apparently female “alicorn” of stature similar to a horse on earth with a pure white coat. Her wings and horn are considerably larger in proportion to her body than those of the more mundane unicorn and pegasus ponies. Her mane and tail are composed of a shimmering amorphous form of matter of indeterminate properties, and are striped in pink, green, and blue. She has a “cutie mark” depicting a stylized sun. She is known to the ponies of Equestria as the goddess of the sun, and ruler of the day. Most citizens of this universe believe that she raises and lowers the sun each day. Researchers have been unable to confirm or deny this. SCP-6-01 has expressed a desire to be addressed as “Princess Celestia”
SCP-6-02 is the younger sister of SCP-6-01. She is also an alicorn, of similar proportions, though slightly smaller stature than SCP-6-01. She is dark blue in color, with a mane and tail composed of the same mysterious material as those of SCP-6-01. Both have refused to allow researchers to study the properties of their manes and tails. She has a cutie mark depicting a white crescent moon set in a large ink-like spot covering most of her hindquarters. This is said to represent her work raising and lowering the moon and crafting the stars each night. It is also said that she spent 1000 years imprisoned on the moon of Equestria. SCP-6-02 has asked to be called Princess Luna.
SCP-6-03 is the third known alicorn. She is pale pink with a mane and tail striped pink, purple, and yellow. Her mane and tail are not composed of the amorphous matter, and share the same properties observed in all other manes in Equestria. Her wings are tipped in a pale purple. She has a cutie mark depicting an embellished and stylized heart. She has demonstrated a peculiar power over the emotions of other ponies, seemingly able to resolve their arguments or make them fall in love at will. Research is pending on the exact nature of her power. She has been referred to formally as “Princess Mi Amore Cadenza”, though she claims to prefer simply “Cadence”.
SCP-6-04 is a bizarre chimera-like entity known as a “draconequis”. It is mostly brown in color, with a distorted horse’s head and mismatched horns and limbs and a long serpent like body and tail much like the Oriental dragon of Earth legends. There has only been one confirmed occurrence of SCP-6-04. This was accompanied by highly disturbing warping of the fabric of the SCP-6 universe. The entity is normally kept in containment by the ponies of Equestria in the form of a statue kept in the palace gardens. SCP-6-04 willingly answers to the names “Discord”, “SCP-6-04”, “God of Chaos”, “Q”, and “Hey, you!”.
