experiment 3: visual

[4thdimensional]

Hello! Dr. Brown here, making an announcement as it's been a while.

As it stands, I have no plans to attend the Grand Galloping Gala. I don't believe that sort of ceremonial ritual is my 'scene', given the circumstances, but I'm willing to offer my assistance to any attendees. I have a few spare parts that might give your masks some much-needed edge.

But the main reason I've come to you today is that I have a request. If you have information about the historical figure known as Starswirl the Bearded, I'd like to learn about him. Thank you.

A small one. Well-trained to deal with the mishaps we might face in the Equestria of the past. Marty and I are good, yes, but I want a more familiar guide or two when entering unfamiliar territory.

The only ones really familiar with anything that far back would be the Princesses.

...and Discord, I suppose. [Does he have to explain why THAT is a bad idea?]

[4thdimensional]

I'm sure I can't alter the history of this world, but time travel always has its risks.

Discord has no fondness for me, and the princesses...I'm not certain they'd approve.

[soulofblue]

Oh, they wouldn't!

[4thdimensional]

Then I must continue this mission and obtain the information in complete secrecy.

[soulofblue]

[He's...not sure that's wise, but...]

Okay...

[At least he's in on it now. Pollo would honestly probably rat Doc out to the princesses if he thought things were going too far. But just going back to view history firsthand can't be too bad, right? It could be helpful!]

[4thdimensional]

Thank you for everything, Pollo. I'll let you know about my future developments.
