Log Entry 001
Captain Luna… I still need to adjust to that name. It’s still all too easy for me to react to others calling me Princess Luna, too soon to escape the old title just yet. After all, I can hardly call myself a princess of a desolate wasteland, especially one we can no longer thrive in.
The starship still holds firm--Moon Dancer’s paranoia of even the smallest breach in the hull has easily kept the ship safe. As it should--this was her idea, scaled to a size beyond even her imagination. She’s done herself proud with this accomplishment--I can only hope it doesn’t get to her head that her ship is infallible… unsinkable.
Yet we had not named it. Oh, we’ve called it many things during its planning and construction: Big Boat, Enterprise, Voyager, and even Equinox came to pass, but none of them had really stuck. Not that we had the time to think of a name. With the Tree of Harmony dead and withered, time was against us as the land weathered and wore away before our very eyes.
Fortunately we’d succeeded, and once more we repeated a history lesson of old: if the land has forsaken us, we must seek a new land to prosper in. I have faith we will find such a place that might accept us, as does my sister. ‘Tis this hope that drives us forward now, into the sea of stars and worlds unknown.
However, others aboard the ship do not share our admittedly idealistic goal. Some believe we’ll simply live on the ship for the rest of our days, and in a sense we can do that. It’s not ideal, however--this ship was designed for travel and temporary residence, and I would rather not have it be permanent if possible. We’d have to get out the tin of straws, and nopony likes drawing straws.
Yet others think we’re wandering aimlessly in an iron coffin. I can’t fault them for thinking that way about the current situation, but at the same time, I wish to prove them wrong. Already we have a few prospective planets derived from the star charters--the purple one in particular shows great promise in this field--and with the course set, all we can do is wait and see what we’ll find out there.
If nothing else, the children still smile, believing we will find greener pastures to settle in. They dream of playing in flowery fields and clear blue skies once more, and swimming in lakes like the days of old.
I shall see to it that they won’t need to dream to do that.
Captain Luna, signing off.
Yes, come in. And what is your name, little one?
Pipsqueak, is it? Well, you are most welcome for staying on this ship, and I thank you personally for keeping thy spirits high.
Hm? A name for the ship? Well, it is true we haven’t come up with one yet, but I’m open to suggestions.
Hayfarer? Haha, clever. We are all wandering travelers now… this might stick after all.
...Say, would you like a promotion? How does Pipsqueak, Chief Ensign of Cookies sound?
Perfect! Now, Chief Ensign of Cookies, are you ready for your first order? Please report to Officer Pinkie Pie in the kitchen. I do believe it's a good time for you to share your promotion with the other children, wouldn’t you say?

Ooh~
I wish I was Chief Ensign of Cookies.
Awww She sure know how to distract the children from their difficult situation.
So, I guess the wasteland scenario would be the one where the vines absorbed the power from the Tree, right?
Oh well as long as Pipsqueak isn't wearing a red shirt he will be fine working in the kitchens with Pinkie
Is it wrong that I read this in the voice of Captain Jean-Luc Picard?
So THAT'S what the wasteland world was supposed to be. I never thought too hard about it...
Nice of Luna to fail to mention that the Cylons could attack at any time...
At least you didn't name it Event Horizon
D'awwwww!!!
Oh crap I'm in a red shirt!
gold is more your color.

I really like this spin on the Wasteland. Very nice.
NICE btw for the regular world i see Celestia writing
"Now i can't exactly blame your logic as I decided to free Discord. But i do suggest sleeping with one eye open for awhile now. just in case.
The most hopeful interpretation of the final timeline that I've ever seen. Thank you for, if you'll pardon the phrase, a glimmer of hope for this timeline.
Looking forward to the finale, though that will mean an inevitable hiatus, unless you want to speculate further. Say, a timeline where the Cult of Pinkie conquered the world...

"...You're going to write that, aren't you?"
...Maybe.

I always thought that everything had just flat-out died. Or there were just very few towns left.
Wow, I love this log. It shows that despite having lost Equestria which has been reduced to a wasteland, Luna is doing her best to stay positive and even manages to promote Pipsqueak as Chief Ensign of Cookies!

And you should pick the official comics and write letters for their plots.
Celestia and Spike fighting giant mutant cockatrices... that would make one nice letter.
How about a timeline where the two sisters had to do a fusion to save equestria and got stuck. Or maybe one where twilight is dating Luna (bonus points for twi and Luna being vampires. Even more bonus points if Luna turns twilight.)
Space: the final frontier. These are the voyages of the Starship Hayfarer, its continuing mission: to explore strange new worlds, to seek out a new home for ponykind; to boldly go where nopony has gone before.
(Okay, so I tweaked the quote a little.)
What confuses me is that it sounds like Luna likes it because of the word the name is playing on, moreso than the joke itself. But Wayfarer was already listed as a name that had been bandied about, so I'm kind of confused here.

Weird, for some reason I thought I put a different name there. Curse my spotty memory.
I'll put in a small change for that.
I like it. I really like it. Mind if I borrow it for a story probably not soon, but probably sometime?
Huh, Star Trek reference right? Meh, never watched it. I'm more of a videogame nerd than a series/movies nerd. (how many downvotes I'll get from that?)
6740054 OH, F*CK NO! NO GAY VAMPIRES REFERENCE!
I love the TwiLuna ship, so please, don't ruin it with this crap...
6741788 excuse me but Twilight vampires, aren't real vampires and I don't fucking like them they are a pox on vampire fiction. When I say vampire I mean dracula, alucard, kane, lestat, pandora, blade, nosferatu, selene to name but a few of the real vampires those glittery fucks wish they could be. and those who down voted me because of that faulty assumption should be ashamed of themselves.
6741804 Huh, ok, sorry, my sister made me watch the movie with her, and I hated everything about it. And you comment kinda looks like the movie's plot. At least for me
6741909 there are plenty of vampire human romances that isn't the dreck written by Stephanie Meyer
heck bram stoker's dracula is one of them in fact vampires and sexuality/romance are nigh inseparable in fact there are some that posit that vampires where at the time of dracula's writing an allegory for homosexuality.
6741930
Old-school bad-ass Vampires any day.
Reminds me there's a movie I need to go and watch. If just I could remember the name.
Well, that, was a new one.
Well, you learn something everyday.

I remember putting a pin in that one... but I forgot where I put it, and I need to find it again.
And when I do, you'll probably be one of the first to know... uh, if I remember that.
Gods, I really need to get Post-its.
6746816
Looking forward to seeing that story when it's written.
...also, is there going to be a chapter where Celestia writes to Twilight about Starlight? Presumably, Twilight would tell Celestia what had happened.
...and I can't believe I read this whole thing in a single night...
6746928
That's the next chapter, actually. It'll pop up in the morning. Or afternoon. Er, some time that's not evening.
Also, you read this whole thing in one go?
...I'd give a medal for that if I had one.
6739138
ofc there is nothing wrong with patrick steward voicing luna
Chief ensign?
That's a thing? Lol.
Wait, so what happened to Celestia in this timeline? Is she also an officer?
I was hoping this chapter would be a nod to Fallout Equestria, but your premise is equally valid and undoubtedly sweeter. Love these letters, keep up the good work.
Another AU that would make a great stand-alone fic.
