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…-

This was nothing new for Jordan.When his favorite (and really, only) hobby involved traveling all over the world to film, explore, and generally poke around in places he wasn't supposed to be, the police getting involved was an inevitability. Part of the way his friends picked their next destination came down to local laws and likely punishments if they got caught.The hippogriffs were friendlier than any visit to the police he'd experienced before. Instead of bright lights and little food, they spoke in a…-

Bit watched the polisher count down from just beside it. The sand had stopped several minutes ago, with only the water-pump still circulating. It was the wash at the end of a cycle, when all that was left was dislodging residue before the automaton within was released. She'd always found it to be the most refreshing part of the cycle, though in retrospect the water was incredibly cold and got into all parts of her body. Someone who used to be organic would probably not enjoy the process much.I hope you're…-

Charlie never would've admitted how much she enjoyed the next few hours. It wasn’t just that the fillies had an awesome fort to themselves, which was true. It wasn't even that they gave her some pointers about how to glide down from the higher levels, and didn't once comment on how bad a job she did. What it was might be a little harder for her to quantify, though. Maybe something as simple as being around some friends with no expectations.Maybe it was camaraderie. Sunbeam and River didn't mind having…-

Kyle tried to sleep in the room they had cleared for her. Taking the time to expose the side door for her use, to clean enough that she could walk through without being smeared with so much dirt she trailed it behind her. She didn’t want to live out in the stable—that was somewhere for animals, not a person.But when she finally put Fay down that night, having a baby monitor with her just didn’t feel like enough. Could she really be sure that the occasional breath that made it through the mic would…-

The next few hours of travel were less eventful for Velar than he would have expected. Once the doctor had arrived and inspected his wounds, Starlight explained that she would take some much-needed rest. She would return here once they arrived in Canterlot, to help with his transfer to the hospital there.“How long am I going to be like this?” he asked, to the pony he trusted, not the doctor.Starlight only shrugged. “I’ve never seen someone get a bullet in the chest before. Not until the doctors say…-

Arcane had a body again.That probably wasn’t the most correct way to think about it—there hadn’t ever been a moment she was conscious in Equestria where it didn’t feel like she had a body of her own. Celestia had made her a pony, not some disembodied spirit to drift forever through the void.But where that body had been finely crafted and obviously hers, when the teleport finally faded it left her with something that clearly wasn’t. A glance down at herself showed her intricately jointed plastic…-

Jamie shifted uncomfortably in the dress that didn’t feel like it was hers, wishing very much that she could be back in the shelter. If only someone else’s pod had been failing, then she wouldn’t be out here playing horse. She could wake up, blissfully unaware of all the difficulties that transpired while she slept. Except they might never wake up now. If their evil princess can find the emergency shelter, she will probably kill everyone inside.Apparently the dictator was evil enough that she might…-

Theo didn’t get to go on the expedition to retrieve the airship. It wasn’t anything personal—even Sharp Edge wasn’t able to go. The team the blue pegasus brought wasn’t so much a group of trained experts as a dozen pegasus ponies from halfway across Equestria.If it was Theo’s airship, she probably would’ve told the pegasus “no thanks” at that point. But Sharp seemed to recognize some of them, and the knowledge made him more willing to let them make the trip.There was no more work to do…-

She wanted to tell them everything. From the vast distances they'd crossed to the incredible discoveries they'd made along the way. The transformations they had been through, the homeworld they had visited, and the strange mechanical minds they had befriended. Computer didn't stop her—she was as free to share information as to give her ship commands. Her concerns were entirely practical in nature.Emperor Grant Septimus Aurelius was on his way, and even Lyra knew little about what that might mean. She…-
