The great war between Equestria and the Zebra nation had felt like it had been dragging on forever. The longer that the war went on, the more that the Equestrian Ministries had turned to outside contractors to fulfil their needs. Outside of normal wartime law, the Ministry of Arcane Sciences partnered with the other countries of the world to run a polar science outpost in the frozen north, which, was supplied by a civilian charter flight that would bring them supplies and experiments to them once a month. That's where we come in. Marigold industries was a small partner of the larger Bow-wing corporation that built half the Vertibucks for the war, and we happened to be the cheapest and most reliable charter cargo service this side of Equestria. We'd been making this same run from Van Hoover all the way up north for months now, and I was looking forward to yet another successful trip. However, deep down, some part of me knew that this run was going to be different. How different, was something none of us could have even prepared for. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [url=http://www.furaffinity.net/user/the-furry-railfan/]Fantastic cover art done up by the ever talented FurryRailFan![/url]
