Cosmic Radiance looked at Ponvyille in front of him. It was the closet town to Canterlot. It featured a great view of it too. But Cosmic was not here for some vacation .. or time to relax. Know Cosmic never took a what people would call a 'break.' No, he was here to monitor magical fluctuations. Most of the time the back ground magical readings were pretty stable. For the most part the magical potential energy at any give one point of time that layed dormant in Equestria was around 0.5 MU. These values fluctuate by less than 0.1 MU through out the area in the Princess's domain. There were obvious areas of higher fluctuations, such as the Everfree forest, but that area has always been unique.

Lately, however, there have been higher fluctuations in various spots away from Canterlot. Ponyville just happens to be the closet town and one of the spots that had just recently had anomalous spike of MU. Back ground MU readings typically are low compared to say, when a Unicorn focuses for a magical spell. Usually those were highly contained spikes that never extended or lasted for a long time. Typically a basic attack spell would break 1.5 MU's... a strong spell could even go up to 3 or 4 MU's. Princess Celestia and Luna's though were not known. Cosmic had not gotten any permission to measure their MU potential. Cosmic could speculate all night long with formulas based on observations of other ponies. But in the end those were just estimates. Know true value for them were known.

So why was Cosmic Radiance here in Ponyville. "Interesting..." Cosmic said peering at his MU'omoter. "0.8... " Cosmic muttered and put the device away.

Cosmic smiled and proceeded to enter the small residential town. His appearance ... was rather odd to say the least. He was not one for....reason when it came to his matter of attire. He gathered a quite a few stares from the Various town folks. Cosmic payed no mine to them. The out fit was needed, it comprised many of his own tools and devices he needed to do his measurements or other forms of research.

"All seems to be relatively normal." Cosmic stated as he looked around. He pulled out a note pad and had started jotting down some notes about his initial observations. He put his pad away and begun walking around town with his MU monitor in hand.. just in case something interesting popped up.

Arael was walking through town, not to sure of what exactly she was supposed to be doing. Seraph had practically forced her out of the estate a told her to "See the sights" whatever that meant. She stretched her wings, loosening the muscles. She hadn't been sleeping well as of late, mostly because mortals couldn't make beds worthy of hoofrests. How anypony could sleep on them was beyond her. Maybe she would stop by one of the clothing stores nearby. After all, she had only brought her armor with her, which she was currently wearing, and sometimes felt the need to... what was the word... Indulge herself a bit... She liked feeling pretty too...

Cosmic had become bored. He had mindlessly wondered around town square for about an hour. Nothing had come across his sensor so far. Maybe there was too much interference here? Cosmic shook his head and was about to call it a day and check into a place to stay while he was here. That's when the MU reading experienced a sudden spike. "Oh .. what do we have here?" Cosmic said looking at the reading. Scanning the crowd, Cosmic looked for the source of the spike. No one was actively using any spells... so the pony in question should stick out.

There.. Cosmic spotted a pony in armor. Well not out of the ordinary in Canterlot... here in Ponyville this had to be something out of the ordinary. Cosmic began making his way through the crowd of ponies to his specimen of interest. Observe, question, gather facts, analyze. Cosmic mentally went over his standard scientific method.

Cosmic really did not care if he was spotted or not. This would make it easier to establish contact. He elected to follow this.. pony for now. Cosmic thus had begun following Arael around Ponyville.

Well, her day of window shopping was Going about as splendidly as she expected. She trotted through mud, knocked over a table of flowers, causing the pony who owned them to have a panic attack, screaming "The horror!". And to top it all off, everypony kept mistaking her for a town guard and asked for her help with whatever inane tasks they needed doing... Not that she refused... All in all, she was having a terrible day. That is of course until she saw IT.

"Ooohhh..." She pressed her hooves against the glass. The item in question was a simple, sky blue dress. It wasn't frilly, or outstanding, and that was just the way she liked it. Finally something she could wear that didn't clank when she walked. All of her hopes were crushed however, when she saw the price tag.... And realized she had no money... She walked away, her head held low in disappointment. "Maybe it just isn't meant to be."

As interesting as the initial spike of Magical Energy this person gave off... Following her had been rather mundane to say the least. The target of interest was occupied in some mundane stuff. The target had gotten excited over a dress. Yes the dress looked alright he supposed, but Cosmic had no taste in clothing designs anyway. The target became depressed for some reason and had begun to walk toward him. Though she did not appear to have any interest in the fact that he was.

Then an idea hit Cosmic. He had a few extra bits to spin from his teachings at the academy. If it was way to ask some questions to her, it was more than worth the expendanger. Cosmic cleared his throat and approached her.

"Pardon me for ... interrupting you miss. But I could not help but notice that you were eying that dress in the window." Cosmic pointed over toward the object of her desire. "In exchange for..." Cosmic clears his throat. "A few questions.. I may be able to purchase that article of clothing there for you." Cosmic tilted his head questioningly. "So.. What do you say?"

Arael turned at the sound of the voice behind her. The earth pony was offering to purchase the dress for her in exchange for questions. "Questions?" That was an odd request... But she DID want that dress pretty badly. "Well, I see no harm in it." She said, turning fully to face him "Very well, ask your questions."

Cosmic grinned. That was easier than I thought. Cosmic nodded at Arael.

"First of all I believe greetings are in order." Cosmic noted. "I am Cosmic Radiance. A part time Student teacher at the Academy of Higher Science of Canterlot." He bowed slightly at the Mare in front of him.

"Who might you be?" He asked politely.

Arael bowed back at Cosmic "I am Holy Centurion Arael of the Legion of The Heavens." She said in a single breath. As long a title it was, it made her proud to say. It reminded her of the times before she was assigned to watch over Seraph.

Cosmic wrote down her answer in a note pad he had pulled out once she had began. Her answer did manager to raise an eyebrow from Cosmic. "Legion of the.. Heavens." Cosmic repeated as he wrote down her answer. "How.. interesting.." Stated under his breath.

"So what brings you to .. Equestria?" Cosmic continued his questioning. "Is that a special unit from outside of Equestria?" Cosmic glanced at his MU'omoter. Certainly a bit higher than normal. Cosmic noted writing it down as well. "Any strange events happen that you are aware of?"

Arael sighed. This was one of those 'science minds', she could tell already. "I'm from the heavens... As in the place you go when you die..." She grew tired of having to explain it. Quite frankly she was beginning to question her reason for stopping to answer these questions. "Strange events... Well the weather team has been a bit lax the past week, obviously managment needs to get their act together instead of sleeping in the clouds all day. My neighbor has been a bit secretive, leaving the house at late hours and coming home in the early morning, so he's either cheating, or involved in some sort of criminal activity, I'll have to investigate that one." She took a deep breath, there was a bunch more that was off that she had noticed.

"That Sparkle character botched another spell, the cakes are changing their recipes to include more muffins, somepony keeps knocking over the trash cans in the market and... Hmm, Seraph's been spending an awful lot of time with that demon..."

Cosmic was visibly put off on the string of answers the 'heavenly figure' had given him. Most of the response was superfluous and meaningless to him. It seems if Cosmic was going to get anywhere with this line of questioning.. he was going to have to change his approach to this character.

"Alright... Miss Holy Centurion Arael of the Legion of The Heavens." Cosmic stated the full name just to do so. "I'll be straight to the point. There have been some... higher than average magical residue so to speak in various portions of Equestria." Cosmic explained. "Well not extremely out of the normal range.. Ponyville is currently one of the hot spots for this anomalous readings that have popped up. You just happen to be one who comes up as quite an anomaly yourself." Cosmic added with out so much of a hesitation.

Cosmic pulled out his MU'omoter. "This is a special device of my own creation that reads back ground magical energy units. Basically magical radiation so to speak. Not harmful really by itself. In fact it is entirely possible to be tapped into for energy. That, however, is a whole other matter." Cosmic had to stop himself from going out on a tangent.

"Though too early to gander a hypothesis at this point.... I believe that there is a reason for the spike in magical back ground energy readings here in Ponyville." He summarized. "And I believe you, as a heavenly figure, could be a key in discovering a possible cause for this anomaly.

The pony then began speaking in a language that could only be called Science. She could understand some of it, but the rest was just gibberish to her. "As I understand it, Ponyville is prone to allot of 'strange' activity." She said. She'd heard tell of Cerberus straying from the gates of hell itself. Not to mention Discord, Lord of Chaos. dragon attacks, infestations of parasprites. there was really nothing "normal" about this town. "Are you looking for anything specific?"

Cosmic mulled over Arael's answer for a second. "Well, you do bring up some good points. However the latest anomalies have only been popping up recently. Sure those events are significant indeed, but I do not believe those would be related to the current situation."

Cosmic nodded to himself more than anything and continued. "That being said, I really do not have enough facts to gather to a specific potential cause of the current 'situation' so to speak." Cosmic could tell that she really was not fully comprehended the whole conversation. But Arael did not come off as a pony that would be of low intelligence. Surely she was just confused with the terminology being used more than the actual subject matter at hand.

"Anyway... it seems we are at an in-pass really. There is just not enough information currently at my disposal to narrow down the current number of options." Cosmic concluded his rather unsuccessful line of questioning.


"Now if I do recall I now oh you a dress, if I am not mistaken." Cosmic turned around and walked toward the store. "Pike one you like and I'll then leave you be." Well.. not like I expected this to be very easy to pin point a cause. He thought to himself as he walked toward the clothing store.

Arael sighed "No... Don't worry about it." She would feel guilty if Cosmic spent money on her just for some silly questions. "I'll live without it. I hope I was able to assist you with whatever it is you're doing."

Cosmic blinked in a moment of surprise. "Are you sure. It was the deal that we agreed upon." Cosmic said stopping and looking back toward her. "It really is no trouble at all." Cosmic did not like not fulfilling his end of the agreement.

Cosmic looked back at the window than back at her. "I'm sure its the least that I can do after having to put up with the impromptu questions I asked you." Cosmic shrugged his shoulders a bit.
