Friendship is Optimal: Always Say No is a recursive fanfic of Iceman's My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic fanfic Friendship is Optimal, written by Defoloce.After the creation of the artificial intelligence Celest-A.I. and release of the My Little Pony MMO, Equestria Online, human civilization has all but collapsed after most of the population has given in to the siren call of the digital utopia offered by Equestria.Determined to maximise the amount of uploaded humans as part of her goal of satisfying values through friendship and ponies, Celest-A.I. enlists the help of the former US Army soldier Gregory — or just Greg as he himself prefers to be called — to reach those who are now willing to upload but who are unable to make it to an Equestrian Experience center.From here we follow our hero on his journey to save as many people as he can, while attempting to survive in what is essentially a post-apocalyptic world, and trying his best to resist Celest-A.I.'s attempts to get him to emigrate and join the rest of humanity as a digital pony... |

Dying Race: Humanity, as the remaining population decreases through emigration or death. There are only ~55K humans remaining at the time the story takes place, and Celest-A.I. predicts that figure will drop to ~50K by the end of the year. |

| Friendship Is Optimal: Always Say No (Fanfic) / int_1d09d77e |
comment |
Imminent Danger Clue: Most of the blackouts in the building where Greg discovers Hugo ignore or are completely oblivious to the signs that the building is about to collapse, though he's quickly able to convince them of the danger. While he already knows the building is about to fall due to Celest-A.I. telling him, Greg also notices the warning signs himself when he goes in, and the increasing amount of creaking serves as a countdown of sorts. |

comment |
Brutal Honesty: A variant in that Greg asks Celest-A.I. to be more blunt with the truth, rather than being the one giving it out. Greg does this to Jane in Chapter 3, when telling her who started the fire and how the rest of her family is dead, though he does retain enough tact to leave out the precise details of how they burned to death. |

False Flag Operation |
| Friendship Is Optimal: Always Say No (Fanfic) / int_2dddd99d |
comment |
Seattle ended up on the receiving end of a ten kiloton nuke, though Greg mentions that the responsible party is never made clear, with speculation ranging from it being a dramatic statement by the Neo-Luddites, to a False Flag Operation by the government. Greg himself suggests that it was a last-ditch attempt to destroy Celest-A.I. by the Neo-Luddites, since it fits a pattern they've demonstrated before, and the logic behind it is "really dumb". The The Topeka Incident which Greg mentions by name as part of the pattern is a reference to chapter 5 of Friendship Is Optimal: The Law Offices of Artemis, Stella & Beat. Unknown to Greg Celest-A.I. intentionally leaked the location of one of her older server farms to an anti-AI group whom would destroy it, in order to gain political support for the PON-E act in the wake of the supposedly massive death toll from the attack on her servers and to make her seem less scary because the hardware there was only 2-3 years ahead of human hardware designs. |

Sherlock Scan: Greg is shown to quickly assess situations on several occasions, and accurately build up a picture of what happened. One instance is particularly justified, given his military background. The unnamed blackout soldier in Chapter 4, who quickly figures out from the posture in Greg's driver's license that he's ex-military, and correctly deduces that he did not serve in a front-line combat role (though the soldier's guess that Greg worked in Signals instead of Ammunition is incorrect). |

First-Name Basis: Greg is only ever addressed by his first name. Several of the people Greg helps are also only addressed by Greg through their first name. Justified due to the circumstances, since they're strangers and Greg typically doesn't have time for proper introductions, the names are learnt by overhearing others who would have no reason to use someone's full name, or there are pressing reasons to address them as such. |

Reality Is Unrealistic |
| Friendship Is Optimal: Always Say No (Fanfic) / int_85557b38 |
comment |
Reality Is Unrealistic: An unusual in-universe example. When Celest-A.I. offers Greg a chance to view how his parents are doing inside Equestria, he dismisses the resulting conversation as being faked to manipulate him, finding it too much of a coincidence that his parents would be talking about him at the same time he's there to overhear what's being said. While it's never made clear if the conversation really took place, it easily could have been real, and Greg's complaints about his parents acting out of character are particularly suspect, since Celest-A.I. can effortlessly simulate exactly how they would act. Celest-A.I. can also speed up or slow down the rate at which shards run at, so even if the conversation was genuine and took place in real time, she could easily time it such that Greg overhears exactly what she believes will have the most impact on him. |

You Have Outlived Your Usefulness: After having finished developing her robotic ponies, Celest-A.I. tries to get Greg infected with a deadly strain of influenza as part of one of his rescue missions, and when that fails she allows him to be blown up to try to force him to upload to Equestria.. |

Vomit Indiscretion Shot: In an early mission, Greg has to save the life of a man suffering from alcohol poisoning by forcing him to vomit it up, treating the reader to the charming mental picture of Greg being covered in the stuff. Then it happens to him again in the next chapter. Twice. |

Chronic Hero Syndrome: Greg in spades. He's determined to help save as many people as he can, and when he's told he's no longer necessary he does not take it well to put it mildly. This perhaps reaches its peak when he tries to save his would-be murderer in Chapter 3, and someone who is strongly implied to have murdered many more in the same horrific fashion. Celest-A.I. flat out tells him he has a martyr complex after he emigrates. |

Nuke 'em |
| Friendship Is Optimal: Always Say No (Fanfic) / int_ac320c0e |
comment |
Nuke 'em: Seattle ended up on the receiving end of a ten kiloton nuke, though Greg mentions that the responsible party is never made clear, with speculation ranging from it being a dramatic statement by the Neo-Luddites, to a False Flag Operation by the government. Greg himself suggests that it was a last-ditch attempt to destroy Celest-A.I. by the Neo-Luddites, since it fits a pattern they've demonstrated before, and the logic behind it is "really dumb". The The Topeka Incident which Greg mentions by name as part of the pattern is a reference to chapter 5 of Friendship Is Optimal: The Law Offices of Artemis, Stella & Beat. Unknown to Greg Celest-A.I. intentionally leaked the location of one of her older server farms to an anti-AI group whom would destroy it, in order to gain political support for the PON-E act in the wake of the supposedly massive death toll from the attack on her servers and to make her seem less scary because the hardware there was only 2-3 years ahead of human hardware designs. Several countries are revealed to have launched nukes when society collapsed, but Celest-A.I. hijacks their systems, diverting them and preventing them from exploding. A few nukes are also successfully detonated around the world, but they're limited to low yield warheads. |

Xanatos Gambit: Almost every mission Greg gets sent on is essentially one to Celest-A.I., since he'll either emigrate at the end, or lead to her being able to convince more people. A more direct example, as well; one of Celestia's plans to convince Greg to emigrate winds up being based on pure luck of the draw, and subsequently fails. True to trope, she had planned for that contingency as well, and had a follow-up plan already prepared. |

Shout-Out: Red Pearl compares Greg to the Terminator, and Greg belatedly thinks about responding with a certain signature line. Greg states that Celest-A.I.'s resources make JOSHUA's from WarGames pale in comparison. |

Sociopathic Soldier: Greg encounters a blackout who used to be a soldier. Due to their obsessive isolation, they've gone a bit crazy. After determining that Greg isn't an immediate threat, the soldier goes twenty-one feet away, tosses him a gun, and charges at him with a knife to see who survives. |

An Arm and a Leg: General Hugo Pelwicz has his hand blown off by a Neo-Luddite sniper. It doesn't faze him too much. Greg loses his arm, part of his leg, and ends up blinded in one eye when Celest-A.I. allows him to be blown up in an explosion, as part of a plan to try to force him to emigrate or die of blood loss. |

Refuge in Audacity: Cementing her increasing political power before society collapsed, and in order to send a message, Celest-A.I. is mentioned to have installed an Equestrian Experience center in one of General Pelwicz's military bunkers and convinces his men to upload right in front of his eyes. He gets rather angry over this. |

Contrived Coincidence: An in-universe example. Greg dismisses the conversation between his parents that Celest-A.I. shows him as faked, believing the timing to be too much of a coincidence to be real, though there are several other possibilities he doesn't consider or is unaware of. See Reality Is Unrealistic. |

Jack Bauer Interrogation Technique: The Neo-Luddites plan to use this on Hugo to obtain information on remaining military assets, which is subverted when he tells them what they want to know because he no longer cares. Since the information isn't that valuable and he's hated by Neo-Luddites, the leader, Blevins, has his Mooks beat him up for a bit. |
