RP Thread: The quest of the monolith

This is an adventure Sci Fi thread, all of us are on a mission, to find an object that came to Equestria 16 years ago, that brought to the land a mysterious message, is also the quest to understand the cutie mark of one certain pony, that is... strange, not only because his cutie mark IS also a graphical representation of this particular object, but also because it not reflects his special talent, so if his cutie mark is not his special talent, then what is it??. Like always, no overpowerfull OC's andstay on character
