As it turned out, Joseph was needed that night, and not because Oliver had to amputate. The medical details were all lost on him, but he ended up spending enough of that night and the next morning in the hospital that he abandoned his plans for the next day and just slept solidly through the whole thing. It was a good thing blood and fluids didn’t bother him, because he had seen more of both than he had bargained for.Working beside Oliver was enough to remind him that he wasn’t the only pony with…-

Dear Journal,Holy crap what a day. Out of the freakin’ sky. Who does that pony think she is? Does she have any idea how much damage she could’ve caused? The injury or death of one of the last few survivors could guarantee no colony ever succeeds! Particularly when the success of a colony depends far more on having a large number of females than on males.Not that it matters, since for all I know we’re all only going to live another decade or so. Even if we start breeding like rabbits (God no), ten…-

Starlight Glimmer could feel the gradual press of acceleration, sliding her backwards along the deck plating. She didn’t have the natural instincts of other lifetime crew, who could walk about even on the top deck without being blown off. But the princess didn’t seem to mind that she looked a little silly. “I think you must have more information than we do,” she said, keeping her tone flat only through lots of practice with Twilight. “What’s going on in Accipio? Why are the griffons…-

Eric should've been watching the road. That task was not made easy on this particular evening, with pouring rain striking against the front of his vehicle with such ferocity that he could barely see the road through the deluge. Fortunately the roads in Livingston were wide, and the awful weather would keep others from driving out here. Anyone with common sense was already at home right now, rather than subjecting themselves to the storm. Eric had neither kind of cents, which was why he was out in the first…-

The next few days were a blur for Lilac.Compared to her time dressing up and pretending to be something she wasn't, working in the engines was a much-needed relief. It wasn't that she had any particular training in the world—but this was Equestria, a land where everything was magical in nature. The same basic principles that applied to ordinary spellcraft would serve her just as well maintaining thaumaturgical devices.Besides, it wasn't like Copper asked her to do any of it alone. He was far from Risk's…-

Roseluck stared at the closed door longer than she should’ve, feeling frustration stir in her chest. She was doing everything she could to be a good friend, and how was this bat responding? With coldness and apathy. It’s alright Rose, he just woke up. Not everypony is themselves early in the morning, or late at night. He’ll be better on the weekend, then maybe I can really get to know him.“It would be a bat,” Lily said, after a minute of awkward silence. “You’re shameless, Rose. Don’t you…-

Marie wondered if her future self might’ve wished for better chosen first encounters with magic. Nearly dying in a dirty cave hadn’t been great, and now there was a freezing cold muddy pond. At least whatever strange property kept the night from getting dark worked underwater too, though it didn’t let her see through mud and slime as well as simple darkness.Once Silverstream was satisfied with their catch, she returned them to the surface, with another surge of magic much like the first. Marie’s…-

Everything hurt. Gina couldn’t have said specifically what caused her the most agony, if anything. The ache went deep—into every cell, every tissue. Every few dragging steps she wondered if maybe she could curl up under the scorching sun and let it take her for good.But however much she might want to give up and let herself die, she didn’t stop. If she gave up now, what was left of two nations might destroy each other. That damned volcano might have its final victory after all.“You sure you don’t…

Hayden was still there when the golden airship stopped in the air above her. She hadn’t moved from her place since then, filled as she was with pain and exhausted from the siege that had almost saved Icefalls. So many ponies she had failed. So much death that was her fault.Maybe I should’ve gone with Princess Luna. At least then I wouldn’t be suffering like this. Hayden tried reaching out for the creature every few minutes, hoping that maybe she could persuade Luna to change her mind. Maybe she would…-

It didn't matter that Bit's entire world had changed. It didn't matter that she was no longer the only member of her species, and that she'd confirmed beyond any doubt that she was alive. What mattered was that she had a report to file, and that was exactly what she did.Bit gathered every observation she'd made over the course of Pathfinder's treatment. Most of them were about her own experience trying to follow the crystal production process, and the difficulties she'd encountered as a result. She wasn't…-
