"Sure, I've done things in the past that I soon regretted later on... Hell, we all did at some point. Me? My worst regret was signing up for this damn job." -Justin Daniels: Rogue UER (Universal Explorers Recruit)
"Actually... I'm glad that you signed up for it... because you're different from the rest... and YOU could be Equestria's last hope, because of that!" -Twilight Sparkle: Faithful Student of Princess Celestia
In the year 2020, Equestria declared war on an alien species that began harvesting the resources from their planet without their consent. Unfortunate for them, however, the alien species were far more powerful than the ponies thought, and before they knew it, Equestria slowly started to become enslaved by the "humans" as they called themselves, and were eventually forced into slavery; forced to gather the resources themselves, if they wanted to live.
In 2025, the reality of the situation remained hidden by rumors of the creatures of the world being nothing more than filthy savages; simple-minded beasts with no sense of emotions. Justin Daniels, a lifelong fan of the UE (Universal Explorers) decided to sign up for their needs of a Technician.
Having been a Technician for as long as he could remember, Justin was approved by the UE, and quickly shipped to basic boot camp as an UER (Universal Explorers Recruit). The boot camp's location? Right there on the planet.
Little does he know, however, that his kind-hearted nature would soon build doubts into his mind, as he slowly realizes that there may be something more sinister to his idols than he thought... and his feelings only get worse once he realizes that a lavender-coated unicorn tries to talk to him... and though it was in a completely foreign language to him, he begins to wonder if, maybe, these "mindless animals" could be more sapient than he was told.
