"You know something about radiation, don't you?"
It was perhaps the last thing that Celestia, protégé of Queen Harmony, was expecting her mentor to ask. Having a cutie mark related to the sun didn't prepare her for an expedition to the ocean floor to investigate a strange signal and then decide if the source should be salvaged.

Equestria's future will depend on her decision.

Now with reading!
