The trip to New Accipio was uneventful, at least so compared to everything I’d been led to expect. There were no pirate attacks, though I did see plenty of other traffic along the route. We saw the Royal Navy more than once, patrolling our most important trade-route.I had plenty of opportunity to ask follow-up questions to Bluejacket, though there wasn’t all that much to ask. He didn’t remember any specifics about the religious service, or know very much about the new griffon religion.Beyond that,…-

"Wait for Peter to come back. She could search the book again for more on Cutie Marks." 70%Of course, Wayfinder didn't want to sit around in this mysterious place and wait for others to make her decisions for her. Since the first days of the outbreak, she'd been the one to decide where they ended up. Whether she'd done a good job making those decisions was a matter for debate—but she'd kept everyone alive. Apparently that couldn't be said for those who tried to walk down that tunnel before them.Security…-

Dear Journal,She didn’t wake up yet.June 22, 2015Dear Journal,New pony still isn’t awake yet. Settled into a routine, as good as we can. Now that it’s clear she’s not just going to die for no reason, we don’t keep her watched 24/7. We just don’t have the manpower. Realistically, it’s not like keeping someone with her is going to make a life-or-death difference, right? We have no trained doctors, no trauma surgeons or even any EMTs. The best we could’ve done was make sure she didn’t wake…-

"Teach the Earth Ponies to farm" 65%Getting people together for something as abstract as farming magic was quite a bit easier in practice than it was in simple description. Doubly so since Wayfinder couldn't actually use the magic she had in mind. She couldn't exactly go marching through the police station demanding everyone without a horn or wings follow her to a garden plot and hand them seeds.But that was more or less all she could do to get things moving to start. She'd earned a little goodwill in the…

She didn't have far to fly before she saw the first flutters of motion underneath. Lyra blinked, focusing her attention on a single patch of forest distinct from the others. Not just movement, but purpose. She felt the order that came from sapient creatures, imposed on a world that did not always welcome their intrusion.Someone was alive on this mountain. It could be almost anyone, if they weren't in the middle of an awful storm after all the roads and highways out of Canterlot were totally locked down.As…-

Felicity was far from pleased to be going back into a tank, particularly one that was constructed from salvaged material and scrap. There was a single comforting factor involved in this particular transition: this machine was built only to interface with her mind, it didn't put her into stasis. With enough reflex control, she could probably remove it.There were two cells—one for her, and one for Delta. Both were made of scraps of packing material for blankets, and so much repurposed hardware she…-

She had the attention of this little pony. Derek didn't know how long she could keep it. Just how old were they, in equivalent human years?His voice didn't sound young to her, any more than he looked short. She was taller, but not by very much. Less than an inch. "How can I do what you're doing?" she asked, pointing to where he'd dropped the meal tray.Risk didn't react for several seconds. He lifted the tray hastily from the floor, glancing nervously between it and the meal set out before her. She'd barely…-

To bring the power back to her home, to bring Crimson back, Bit needed to discover why the electricity in Zircon had failed.Ostensibly this was not something she had been trained to do, but she hadn't been trained to make brushes and mops either. She still spent plenty of time—days or months or years—considering and second-guessing herself while focused on her other responsibilities. But whenever the tower was clean, her mind returned to her task. The electricity was gone, and if Zircon were going to…-

Tracy lifted one of his wings, shuffling awkwardly. "I don't mean to sound impolite, but that doesn't sound very related to what I saw. There are bat wings in the mirror, Princess. When there shouldn't be. I've had one of my coworkers call me a demon, and I'm afraid he might be right."Twilight's horn glowed, and the books began sorting themselves into smaller piles. Without even looking at them she guided each one into a different stack, until they covered the desk and every nearby table too. "It's my…-

Tracy stumbled inside, heart still racing and head pounding. He smacked the door closed behind him, securing both locks. He slid against the cold metal, flopping weakly to the floor. Someone knew. Not his Ely friends, who had no interest in revealing his secret. Steven, who was always worried about visas, whose family was a thousand miles away and who basically lived in his cubicle.This is the beginning of the end. This is when the men in black show up to burn the whole block to the ground and erase all…
