I hope WiK or Solanon posts something in this thread.

I hope that Roboquestria green anon is still around...

I hope that I'm still around, someday...

I remember a hie story that had the car the protagonist was driving come with them and Twilight was studying the car
But I read it so long ago I can't remember if it was a green or a fic. tale as old as time

And the lights are back on, nice.

Depends on the type of wash I guess. Like obviously a bikini car wash thing would be lewd, but it could also be like a giving a patient a sponge bath depending on how it's actually done.

Well I wouldn't exactly call "Lesson Zero" handled. She kind of went a bit nutty there.

>>41074039
Well that's true.

>>41074039
I mean technically the problem there was that Twilight didn't have a problem to solve so she had to create problems in order to solve them.

>>41076510
The problem with that is that you'd have to create problems for Twilight to solve in order to prevent her from making up problems to solve because she doesn't have any problems at hand. Which kind of is a self defeating purpose in itself.

Vagabond 5s: 7,112,387 OFFLINE, 2 ONLINE
Vagabond 6: UPLINK ESTABLISHED

More data has become available.
Several objects of significance have been added to the local database. Preliminary analysis suggests the patterns on these objects are made of soot or some other byproduct of unclean combustion. The patterns repeat at times, and are structured consistently and to a large degree predictably.
It is likely that these are written documents.

Many of these supposed documents appear to bare sketches or even technical drawings. In fact, some are mostly drawings with few “words” attached. It is unlikely that- should this prove to be a language- it will be possible to develop a fluent understanding. However, with the amount of data available it might be possible to derive some meaning from the objects.

How these objects came to be is unknown. There is yet no signs of anything on this planet that fits the criteria for defining life.
However, these most recent finds are sufficiently fragile that they would not persist for very long in the local environment. Air currents flowing through the area they were stored in suggest the environment is poorly protected from the elements, so it is unlikely they are more than a few millennia old. Low levels of beta decay suggest atmospheric carbon was in some way used to make the object, however, there is yet no sign of photosynthesis, aside from atmospheric oxygen.

Though language is not yet confirmed, the existence of what is likely ink arranged in a good facsimile of know anomalous objects and collected in a centralized location is indicative of not only life, but of intelligence.

Polymorphic software and deep learning models are already finding patterns and associations. Though a comprehensive understanding of this written language is unlikely, it seems as though it should be possible to read most of these texts by the time they're all scanned.

>>41080261
Vagabond 7: UPLINK ESTABLISHED

Further analysis of the ice floe has proven extremely illuminating. Most of the machinery within still evades perception, but a simple thermodynamic system is apparent.
A rod of some conductive material is buried in the sea floor and likely extends into the mantle. The heat reaching the surface interacts with the low temperatures generated by the release of refrigerants, in this case compressed oxygen gas, to make a persistent current. This current is significantly slower than models suggest, indicating that energy is being extracted from it in some way.

Geothermal power generation on this scale is evidence of incredible technological sophistication, though the actual purpose of this device is yet unknown. Attempts to interfere with the radio signal being broadcast have not produced any interesting results, and it is not yet known where the refrigerant is coming from nor why it is exclusively oxygen gas. It is possible some materials are being sequestered to alter the atmospheric composition, or alternatively that of the water or even the core itself. There is far more power being generated here than the radio signals can account for, so clearly more work is being done. The oxygen gas might be a critical clue in discovering what this system does.

Wow. That was WAY shorter than I realized.
The first quarter of the year is a really rough time for me. I'm hoping that now that things have relaxed a bit I can actually get something done, but that takes discipline. It's not fair to any of you that there are such long gaps between updates.

That's odd. That means it knows what a book is. And that it needed to be produced by some sentient lifeforms. Or is it just examining it as a strange rock?
>is of similar composition to the previous objects
Hm, I find it odd that it was able to turn the pages.
>didn’t last long enough to contain any information anyway
She said it was incoherent at first, so she did recognize that it might be some sort of communication.
>I Crashed on Another Planet Surrounded by Primitive Creatures and They Think I Have Hostile Intent so They Fought me With Magic.
Heh. That's one long title.
>I'm sick of it
Sick of what? Literally only 2 ponies straight up oppose "her". Aj and Mayor.
>I mean… he doesn't seem to mind.
Heh.
>She's just not suited for politics.
I'm sure Rob will be better once it is able to say a single word. Oh wait...
>There is yet no signs of anything on this planet that fits the criteria for defining life.
That's odd. Really odd. What are the ponies made of that the surface units are unable to pick up? Pure energy?
>no sign of photosynthesis
Something is seriously wrong with the mothership and the units.

I hope it did not find some ancient and dangerous magical artifact.

I feel like eventually she'll get tired of everyone around her tip toeing around her condition

>>41122613
Yeah, it can be a real pain in the ass.

>>41122821
More like a pain in the neck for her

I wonder what Twilight could be adding to a flower pot of dirt to make Lyra so nervous

>>41126106
Rainbow Dash's face gives me vibes of a severe existential dread. As if she were semi aware of what is happening around her right now.

I'm not even going to ask how Derpy managed to smash a wrench cleanly through a whole monitor.

I feel like I'd regret to ask what the full version is.

Ask.

Okay. What's the full version?

Got to love porn logic than means in order for Equestria Girls Pinkie to go back she needs a bunch of stallions to run a train on her

So there is the catch.

This is what happens when CelestAI isn't coded properly.

Techup.

>>41133791
AI is a bit of a crapshoot

>>41134641
Guess you just can't get rid of all the risk.

>>41134852
Yeah, even if try to build the most benevolent of Ais you're always at risk of running into the "road to hell is paved with good intentions" issue

>>41135333
Given the current state of the world though, I don't think the ones who could be capable of pulling this off even have good intentions in mind.

>>41123440
No. It's a headache.

Unless it's phantom pain in the ass

Hello frens. It's been a while since I've poosted!

For those of you who are still following and/or still care about The Swirling Menagerie, I wanted to pop in and clarify that I absolutely have not abandoned the story. I've simply been working on other projects recently, and with more work responsibilities to boot it means I haven't had as much time and energy to focus towards this one. Just rest assured that I'm doing alright, I'm still writing, and when inspiration strikes me again I'll get right back to it. The next chapter is already half-ish done, so when I do get the chance to get back on it then I've already got a foundation built up. I guarantee nobody is more frustrated about the hiatus than me, considering we're only a few chapters away from one of, if not THE biggest moment in the whole story. I might have gotten a little intimidated by the execution of that moment, which is why I've been struggling to push forward with it. Hopefully by the time I visit WiK next month I'll be ready to write about ponies again. Cheers!

>>41136980
Hey I'm glad to see you and your story still alive and kicking. might have to go through a re-read to refresh my memory

Lyra fill find a way to survive. She always does.

>>41118816
I bet her favorite story is the one about the headless horse.

>>41139605
Maybe she runs on comic book logic and she'll get super powers

>>41142141
The button says all there is to say.

>>41142141
nice error code

>>41143295
What does it refer to?

>>41143822
I'm surprised you don't know what 42069 refers to. But in case you're serious

420 = smoking weed
69= famous sex position

>>41144468
Oh, okay. I thought the code in its entirety stood for something else.

>there is basically no overlap between the lain and pony community
>only 6 images on derpibooru
Huh. Probably a generational thing.

>>41144751
What's lain?

>>41145277
I assume the anime "Serial Experiments Lain"

>>41145828
That's a big hoof.

>>41146905
Maybe that's why she so angry. It must be hell on her balance

>>41147462
>The designer did it on purpose to mess with Twilight
No wonder she's mad.

>>41148310
Yeah. I'm can you really blame her?

Not really, no.

How long does /pts/ usually go on break for? The thread before last hit bump limit but the most recent one died at like 50 posts and nobody’s made a new one yet

>>41148074
I never understood how these transparent wings are supposed to work. Or rather, what the wings of light are supposed to be in the first place.

>>41150824
You ever heard of hard light? Basically a hypothetical material consisting of light in a solidified state. Shows up in sci-fi every now and again. I think Mercy from Overwatch has something similar with her wings.

I wanna know which of the three of them had the idea to store the spare doughnut on Luna's horn.

>>41154403
Maybe it just happened to float there?

How likely is that in space?

I will catch up to it... some time...

Anyone got story recommendations?

>>41156856
Here's a couple in no particular order

>The Swirling Menagerie by Solanon
Linked in the OP

>Steel Sanctuary & Red Shift by Writefag Is Kill
Which are both completed and can be found here

>Adeptus Anonymous By Clarissa (Completed Warhammer 40k crossover)

Can't say I'm surprised.

>>41157519
Can confirm Steel Sanctuary is good, just started part 3

Up.

>>41159185
Damn Sunset's got that bad bitch energy I love

>>41156308
>>the writing on the bowl
explain plox

>>41160435
On the bottom rim on the bowl Twilight's levitating I can barely make out some letters I think are "TSOY ZHYFF EFTA" ". What that means I have no idea

>>41160856
It translates from Russian to "Tsoy lives mofo"

>>41156265
We need to cook

>>41161426
More like 'going in dry'.

>>41160861
Ah. That's why I didn't know what it meant

>>41145828
I feel like this would be the perfect setup for a fisting joke.

>>41162816
I can see that. Can't think of one though

Oh God. That will hurt.

>>41167129
Making circuits using magic crystals?

>>41168586
And it still catches fire in a few seconds?

>>41169169
Hmmm tags says it's Dash so it might not go as terribly if it was Derpy who mixed it instead.

>>41169702
Dash is just a tad less disastrous than Derpy. She may not be the same walking natural disaster as Bubblebutt, but her likely lack of lab security compliance would be almost equally dangerous.

>>41170586
Not sure if that Glimmer is a bot or a cyborg.

>>41170792
Personally I lean more towards cyborg

>>41171329

>treasure planet but ponies
i'd read/watch it

More likely, yeah.

Well, shit. Her bits are definitely out of commission. This is where science goes too far.

Why is she holding the soldering iron with her mouth instead of with her magic?
