Already measured the entrance to the side of the house, and found a good location very close to the garage entrance where we wouldn’t have to run much cable. Had to guide Joe…-

The world came crashing into focus around Phil—light and color and shadow all in a single instant. Ponies surrounded him, the same group of desperate captives he had saved from the Storm King's prison, snatched from the hooves of its awful warden.This felt worse than any of Starlight's teleports so far—his world tumbled upside-down and his stomach twisted in knots.
