Use the Robotic Virus on Spike 45% “Are you sure you don’t need my help?” Fluttershy asked. Her voice was gentle and kind, as kind as Twilight ever remembered it. The others would have offered their own condolences, if they were awake to do it. But as it was, only she and her doctor would be witnesses at Spike’s vigil.But not even that. Fluttershy had her work cut out for her just getting everypony Twilight had brought back from the surface hooked into life support proper. Her own job had been poor…-

Charge. 55%Spike gritted his teeth, staring down the rifle aimed at his chest. There was no longer a mystery in his mind about whether he would survive it—he’d been shot before. This pony was threatening his friends, threatening to stand all of them forever in this desolate star system. She wasn’t going to get away with it.Cozy shoots Spike. 7 vs 6. Cozy Shoots first. He lunged, baring his teeth in a desperate, instinctive snarl. He felt the impact in his chest driving him back before he heard the…

Attempt Twilight’s Plan. 94% Spike barely felt any doubt in his mind about what he had to do next. Cozy’s dominion might seem overwhelming, but they weren’t out yet. That pony was so confident they’d been out mastered that she didn’t seem to care to watch them here in medical.Her loss. I’m going to teach that pony to threaten my friends.“Are you sure about this?” Fluttershy asked, as he stomped over to the medical waste disposal and started removing screws. Of course none of the spare parts…

Coach Spike and have him retake the Equinox. 47%Spike scratched uselessly at the medical bulkhead, widening the grooves he was making along the lock. Had this been simple steel, he would have been though it hours ago. But they’d built the Equinox to last, and that meant its most important parts could endure anything. Including dragon claws, apparently.“Don’t bother, Spike,” Fluttershy said, voice weak. “You heard what she said. We can leave the Equinox as soon as it’s about to crash. She’ll…

Through Twilight’s confusion, one truth surface before all the others. She might be somewhere strange; she might be light-years away from home and ignorant of the state of Equestria. But that didn’t mean all her knowledge and experience was suddenly invalid.She knew dark magic. Anything that could’ve done permanent damage to…

Use the Contingency. 63%“I can make it work!” Pinkie declared, her voice confident. “Trust me, captain! Please.”She never would’ve considered it if she were still on the ground. But Twilight was still ten minutes away, no matter what she did.“Okay,” she said. “Rainbow, prep for evac. If this doesn’t work, run for the city in two minutes. She has that long.”“I… believe I can keep up a shield for that long,” Rarity muttered. “Yes. I’m sure of it. Two minutes. You better get…

Twilight flies down for a rescue 38% Twilight was powerless to help as she galloped through the Equinox, heading straight back to the docking bay. Every second counted, and even an instant takeoff would still make her about fifteen minutes from arriving. By the time she’d made it into the Prospector, she could hear the panicked shouts coming in over the radio. Rainbow again. “Multiple airborne contacts out of the Memorial. The whole roof just opened! Buck me, there’s so many!”Twilight smacked down…

Focus on her Brain 67% Not everyone could be in attendance for the surgery, despite how much they might want to. After an initial prep on Proximus B, Fluttershy loaded what was left of Sunset Shimmer onto the Prospector.Twilight was there to hold her in total antigravity, even during transit, while Spike worked the controls. Only Node came along, since her direct involvement would be needed to get the artificial limbs working. Twilight managed the trip up without difficulty, with only a minor hiccup that…

Study the remains. 44%Twilight was back in the hospital for the next few days. Considering the number of times she’d been bruised, bloodied, or otherwise injured since being first defrosted, she was starting to miss the beep of the monitoring system whenever she couldn’t hear it.At least there was one consolation to her visit this time: she could be there to see Applejack walk for the first time.Everypony who wasn’t involved in their research on the mysterious creature was there, though there was…

Hunt and destroy with all resources 47%“You don’t have a choice,” Rainbow said, hacking and coughing. Whatever had happened to her during the creature’s brief attack, it was slowing her down. There were burns on the front of her armor, most concentrated near her head, and her rifle’s capacitors had all exploded. The suit seemed to have protected the rest of her from that explosion. “We have to bring it down. Once that thing gets into the buckin’ ruins, it’s gone. No way it doesn’t know we…
