A small and secretive branch of the Royal Guard, the Nonrational Service exists to locate, contain, and eliminate strange and unusual dangers that threaten the safely of Equestria's population. From exploding cherry seeds to things Pinkie Pie does on a daily basis, if it doesn't make sense, the NRS has to deal with it. Captain Shining Armor leads this unit with a smile on his face, a keen eye for the abnormal, and perhaps more enthusiasm than strictly necessary. This story includes all manner of episodic adventures of the Nonrational Service, most of which continue to defy logical explanation.
