Nighttide Star, born under the moon of a foreign land, is adopted by the Daedalus Institute of Research and Exploration when her parents are killed in an earthquake. Raised under the company's Labyrinth project, she is hoof-picked for a leading – and as of yet untitled – role for the government. Branded with the serial number LAB-1032, she is all but pure machinery by the age of eighteen.
While running an experiment on a prototype warp drive, Nighttide is lost to the ether and wakes to find herself in Equestria. Lost and injured, she is discovered by a timid mare with wings, and soon embarks on an unexpected journey.
Rated Teen for mild language, violence, and blood
Takes place midway through S4 of FiM
