It didn't take long to reach the site of their negotiation with the buffalo. That made enough sense to Blake; if they had to go very far, that probably would've meant the map was bad. Either that, or the ponies had lied to them. At least so far, he had no reason to expect either one.Vesper remained surprisingly close during the brief trip, apparently watching his work. That was fine, the more of their group could sail the better. But it did seem strange that she'd taken a sudden interest, after this long…-

Velar should’ve listened to Starlight Glimmer. He could still hear her desperate plea that he stay behind, echoing through the void through a portal that wasn’t there anymore. Beside him was one of the Alicorns of Equestria. A being so powerful his ancestors had great stories about heroes who had journeyed to the end of the world in order to obtain sacred artifacts blessed by Unity itself. Such a trip was what it took to have any hope of killing even one of them. And yet, through all those years, at…-

Lilac was alone in her cell.Some part of her had hoped, however distantly, that she would at least get to stay with Charlie. But doing that would also mean spreading more of the responsibility around. There was no need for Charlie to be locked up when she hadn't been the one to fail.Let the cult believe she was the one responsible for everything, and maybe she could keep suspicion off her friend. One day they would have to cast that spell again, but far more powerfully. There was a vast gulf to cross, one…-

Deliver the probe first. 50% “We’re talking a big risk here,” Applejack said. “By… deliverin’ this thing. I hope you know that.” Twilight found it hard to be annoyed with Applejack now, even though she was pointing out the obvious. She didn’t look away from the controls, concentrating on her path towards a bit of clear ground between two gigantic buildings. The structures on Proximus B were even more intimidating when they were rising up all around them, like Canterlot Station cast to the…-

“You’re sure about this?” It took less than two hours—two hours for Elise to finish looking over the code and for him to gather together the other members of their growing conspiracy. Katie had agreed to come without question, but she hadn’t been sure about her older sister. They weren’t sure about Harley either, though none of them actually knew where she was.Elise gestured pointedly at the scribbles she had made on the page. Her mouth writing was impressive for being so new, better than he…-

Mira woke in a strange land, surrounded by the lights of an impossible place. Stars swirled in the sky above, melting between discordant forms, then joining together. Constellations morphed and changed as she watched, familiar shapes from all over the sky. Kallisto had taught her all of them once—enough to read the seasons by them, or navigate a ship.Or just to appreciate the glory of Princess Luna's night. No one who did not know the night could love the night. No one who didn't love the night could…-

Maybe Tracy shouldn't have been surprised to see that Rose was already awake when he walked in, smelling of floral shampoo and laying out her breakfast. From the look of everything on the counter, it was going to be quite involved.She jumped as he stepped inside, eyes widening in shock. "Y-you were..." She pointed with one hoof, then glanced back at the still-shut door to the human side. “You weren't asleep?""Adjusting is hard," he said, kicking the door shut behind him. He'd only been outside for a few…-

They spent the next ten minutes in one of the most awkward, unpleasant positions Lyra had ever experienced. While Reagan worked, the others shuffled nervously around in a circle just beside her, while Volita and Rainbow watched.The Kindred didn't move like people do—no subtle shifting while they breathed or adjusting to be more comfortable in their seat. They didn't have to lean against the wall for support, or otherwise seemed to tire the way living people did. They didn't even blink, unless Lyra or one…-

"We're going!" Felicity shouted, directly at the screen. Of course she wasn't sure if Escape Gear would even be able to hear her. Was Manny transmitting her words, the way he had before? Now that she thought about it, there was probably something to that idea. Harmony could interpret what she said, and transmit her words in another form. "Manny, can you send a message with pheromones? We should tell the custodian ship we're friendly in a language they understand!"There was a long pause, long enough that…-

Lane couldn't read a single thing from Mewtwo—not a single stray thought, not a flicker of emotion. There was little more on his face, though there was a hint of something in his scent. Amusement? But even the feeble wind moved so quickly that it stole any scents away from her, out of reach. "You were brave to come here, kitten," he began. "Since my creation, I have spent years cultivating a reputation of respect. I do not abide distraction or pointless interference. There are some…-
