Pony wrote:After acquiring the Alicorn Amulet, Trixie had taken a visit to Canterlot in an attempt to free Discord from his stone prison.
Yes, because you can just walk up to the statue prison of a demon who can be released by simply causing chaos near it.
Pony wrote:Her success was limited to his spirit, which was just enough for Discord to use his magic when desired.
What?
Pony wrote:The following day, Princess Celestia had sensed Discord to be missing from his stone body during her daily visit to the stone encased draconaquus.
So did she sense it or did she just walk up to the statue and realizes it's not there?
Pony wrote:They wasted no time in taking their respected Elements of Harmony, and beginning the search by the tactic of splitting up.
Yeah, because that totally worked the last time they split up.
Pony wrote:Discord took advantage of the split up. One by one, he fused the Elements of Harmony with their wearers by the use of the fusion spell.
If he had the ability to fuse their elements together why didn't he just do this before?
Pony wrote:Eventually, only Twilight remained. After a rather extensive battle between the two enemies, Discord was finally able to use the fusion spell on Twilight
What does this part add to the story?
Pony wrote:however, Twilight Sparkle was able to caste the same spell on Discord and a computer she had been working on.
Is there even technology in Equestria?
Pony wrote:Rainbow Dash
Oh joy, back stories for each SCP.
Pony wrote:Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy
Wait, didn't you say that they all split up?
Pony wrote:She reported the incident to Princess Celestia, who in turn gave orders to the LTF Foundation for a search and rescue.
So we're just gonna assume that everyone knows that there is a pony equivalent of the SCP Foundation without establishing it beforehand?
Pony wrote:Foundation personnel eventually found an area in the Everfree Forest where the trees had fallen due to corrosion from a rainbow colored mucus.
How would they already know that Rainbow Dash is in the forest? Better yet, why would that be the first place they look?
Pony wrote:The next day, his body was found covered in blood.
Well, I would've said corrosion, but whatever.
Pony wrote:Dr. Jack Bright
What the hell is he doing there???
Pony wrote:Field Crews were immediately successful at containing her.
Yes, thank you for telling us what the theory was and how they contained Rainbow Dash. What was the point of saying they couldn't contain her then mention that Bright had a theory then say that they contained here?
Pony wrote:Only a few weeks after her recuperation, Twilight had grown an obsession with machines. She'd built a teleportation device with intake and output chambers, and a coffee dispenser with so many drink options it required a keypad to replace all the hundreds of buttons that would've covered the machine.
If Twilight had grown an obsession with machines, why would these be the first machines she built? Even if she was obsessed with machinery, what use would these be to her?
Pony wrote:By now her mental state was diminished to the point where she would focus on giving her machines sentience.
And does this affect the overall story? The answer is no, it doesn't.
Pony wrote:She first succeeded in this when she magically fused Apple Jack with her dispenser.
How do you fuse a pony with a fucking coffee dispenser? Also, wouldn't she be in containment after they discovered that she went crazy? How the hell did she snag Apple Jack?
Pony wrote:This had caused the LTF Foundation to seek her containment
NOW they decided it's a good idea to contain her???
Pony wrote:upon hearing this, Twilight hurriedly fused herself with her teleportation machine not knowing that her attempt with Applejack had failed. This did not give it sentience, but instead gave it the ability to up- and down-grade anything placed in its intake chamber.
So that whole sup-plot with Apple Jack was just for nothing? There seems to be no reason why this story has to be confusing, complicated, and overall fucked up.
Pony wrote:Originally, Twilight had forced the machine to switch the modification setting to rough every time the activation key was wound. This could be a result of her anger at the Foundation for interrupting her work. Eventually, this had stopped occurring, allowing the Foundation to test what is now referred to as LTF-914.
What?
Pony wrote:When they were about fifteen meters away from pinkie, a sudden movement from a gray furred pegasus with a blonde mane and a cutie mark composed of seven bubbles.
What?!?
Pony wrote:he turned around to give his crew an order only to find all of them dead, and Pinkie standing directly in front of him.
Did you proof read this at all?
Pony wrote:Eventually, he found the train station. He boarded a train to the town nearest to the LTF foundation.
So....he just left Pinkie and took a train ride which means that it probably took the LTF foundation hours to get Pinkie in containment? Wouldn't this be a danger to everyone near Pinkie? Then again I have serious doubts that anyone else exist in this story other than the people we've seen so sar. Also, you're telling me that personnel don't have a means of communication other than going directly to the facility?
Pony wrote:After Dr. Bright had heard of this, he provided a theory as to what Pinkie's abilities are, and how to contain her. Soon afterwards, field crew members had successfully contained Pinkie Pie.
Once again, you fail to mention what the theory was.
Pony wrote:After witnessing what had happened to Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy grew fearful of the potential dangers. So much so that she decided to stay in Canterlot after she reported the recent event to the princesses. Celestia allowed it.
So Fluttershy had the option to just go back home and Celestial would allow it?
Pony wrote:Approximately thirty seconds later, Fluttershy screamed, "You will love me!" Two pegasi retuned with Fluttershy not far behind.
So she screamed then just politely followed them?
Pony wrote:All hell broke loose
Wait, so she WAS attacking them? You didn't mention that she started attacking them, you just said that she was behind the pegasus.
Pony wrote:had deployed an old battle tactic. This was to blind his apponent with a bag he carried on his pony.
The fuck kind of battle tactic is that?

In conclusion, this story is terrible. It's full of too many plot holes and it just doesn't make any sense overall. I mean, why is Bright there? What happened to Trixie? What about Rarity? Why was RD in the Everfree forest? Why does 914 have to gain sentience? Why are problems so easily solved by Bright having a theory? Why didn't they just go ahead and contain all the element bearers as soon as some of them started going loopy?

This is why we should just ditch the story, it's very hard to pull off well and takes up too much of our time when we should be working on you know.....the ACTUAL mod.

Also, how were you planning on implementing this story into the mod? Through documents? Yeah, because that's what people want to do in survival horror games, read a bunch of documents.

Well, that's that taken apart. Any comment on Glitch's one-liner?

In the event that Nightmare Tank tries to take charge, Dr. Glitch is to warn it, until it ceases its behaviour.
