When the bombs fell, many ran to the stables, many died in balefire, many entered undeath as ghouls. However, not very many simply fell asleep, and not many are really suited to survive the wasteland.
Equestria already had many ways to keep life living through the ages with technology or magic, but this doesn't stop Stable Tech's experiments. Lexicon, librarian and researcher for the ministry of wartime technology enters the wasteland desperate to recapture the past she once knew and was torn from knowing full well it is fruitless, but perhaps she can find others with the same goal... others who are not quite as helpless as her, perhaps their dark wasteland fate can be changed.
