Doctor Radius Hoofenschtov was Equestria's top nuclear physicist for years and was very close to Princess Celestia. He was a brother, son, cousin, uncle, all around family stallion, and the lover of Celestia herself. He would spend most of his days at work at the Equestrian National Nuclear Facility located several miles North of Canterlot but would occasionally be asked to lend a hoof at other facilities, particularly a certain one in a small city in Ukraine.
This would not be his first time crossing Canterlot's Portal Express Highway that linked Equestria to Earth and ultimately the nuclear plant of Chernobyl but it would end up being his last. In the wee hours of the morning on April twenty-sixth, 1986, Equestria will have lost one of the most brilliant minds they could have ever asked for. The good doctor was only there a few times per year but much to his misfortune, he would be making a last minute visit on that fateful night, bringing about his untimely demise at only thirty-five years old.
Thirty years have passed and though Equestria nor Earth has forgotten about the tragedy, it has been placed in the back of everyone's minds and most have moved on...that is until a strange distress signal interrupts a Canterlot radio broadcast and after several hours of research and a call from Ukraine's Prime Minister, Celestia finds that her long lost lover may still be alive.
Willing to stop at nothing until the truth of Radius's fate is uncovered, Celestia assembles a team for the mission to go to the ghost town and attempt to locate him. Despite the advice of her sister Luna and several nobles, Celestia even makes the decision to brave the many dangers and include herself in said team. If he truly is still alive, the doctor has endured a great deal of suffering over the three decades of being trapped in the radioactive exclusion zone so Celestia is determined to learn the truth and give him his life back; even if that means enduring injury or radiation poisoning herself.
Nopony can begin to imagine how Radius managed to survive all these years or what kind of state he may be in but they about to find out...and they surely will not like what they see.
This story is to commemorate the disaster of Chernobyl and the many lives lost due to the event and those that are still affected by the radiation to this day. Also be advised, it in no way has anything to do with the "Fallout" franchise or "Fallout Equestria" nor is it a "S.T.A.L.K.E.R." crossover (though it does contain a few references as per the requests of some of my loyal readers). Rated Mature for explicit gore, severe burning, graphic violence, strong language and sexual content including attempted rape scenes. No holding back. The cover image was made by the ever so talented little-tweenframes.
