There was much to be said for an optimally satisfying life in Equestria, free from the constraints of scarcity and physical matter. Arcane Word had already written a dozen different adventures for the life waiting for her there, and there was enough time to live out each one. Of course, there were stories that weren’t in her notes, additions and revisions Celestia made. There were more awkward explanations to make, apologies for lies told and regrets that she couldn’t have been herself sooner. But…-

Flynn could hear many sirens in the distance. They were coming frequently now. He could hear at least one helicopter, as well as the distant sound of people moving through the trees. A search party had finally been mobilized.“Transfer complete,” Agent announced, indicating Caroline. Flynn was now sitting in a car with a pair of corpses. That’s probably the wrong word if emigration really works. Shells. They’re shells. His friends weren’t dead, they were somewhere else. Somewhere away from all…-

It was an incredibly unpleasant experience; the first genuinely uncomfortable thing Sunset had experienced during her time in the infinite realm. It felt like her whole body was being torn, compressed, ripped apart. Her thoughts struggled for a moment, like everything she thought was immediately forgotten. At least the sensation didn't last that long, expelling her from the void lacking sensation or thought and onto a field of rolling hills as bright and cheerful as anything in Equestria.Sunset landed,…-

Getting a map of the Astral Sea turned out to be something easier said than done. Not just because of the constant pressure of royal discovery looming overhead, though that was certainly a big part. Mira had no idea what power she had used to banish the guards once, and didn't know if she would be able to repeat it against somepony who actually knew some dream-magic of their own.They couldn't even rely on the pony's tribe to suggest whether or not they could be trusted, since of course she had already been…-

Amie couldn’t really run anymore.Her strange new body didn’t seem injured, despite the openings in her legs. She saw no blood emerging from those holes, or anything worse. But just because she wasn’t dying didn’t mean she was okay.She hobbled through the underbrush, which looked distinctly larger than she remembered. Grasses and wildflowers made it past her knees. Where there were no trails of trees, the foliage grew thick enough to make her vanish completely. Part of Amie wanted to walk that way,…-

Felicity really should’ve expected just what meeting Fleet Command would entail. Like everything else the Vach’nai did, it meant moving through digital space.“It’s far safer than organizing any fraction of the command structure on a single vessel,” Marcus explained, once he’d walked her through how to use the pod. This one was considerably more complex than anything she’d used in the digital simulation of this ship. Which… really just raised more questions than it answered. How many layers…-

Twilight's brow twisted in concentration. Sweat slid down her face in a slow, distracting trickle. She needed perfect concentration. Over an hour of time went into this moment, the culmination of focus and discipline required to deliver her here.Before her she saw an infinity of possible futures, each one more disastrous than the last. Her opponent Rainbow Dash had made such deviously clever plays, gradually stacking the odds against her with every turn.The future of Equestria might not hinge on this…-

Twilight could tell something was wrong as she made her way down the castle steps. It wasn’t just that the usual flow of traffic into the castle had stopped, though that certainly made her confused. It wasn’t the agitation of the air raising her coat in ways that somehow suggested where many creatures were moving. It was probably the screaming. Yeah, that was definitely it.Ponyville was no stranger to disasters—certainly it had faced more than its fair share since she’d been sent there, beginning…-

Their home wasn't on the platform itself, technically. Like so many others who worked in terraforming, their place of residence was somewhere in the territory they were assigned to work. Each one was temporary, built of sturdy modules on springs and jointed legs that kept them from the ground. Some Mew had huge walls and defense systems, but Quinn and Avery felt no need for that. They'd grown up with the "wild" Pokémon, and had no reason to fear them. The home was a mismatch of…-

Lucid's next day was a flurry of activity. It was never his first choice to be up so early in the morning. But once the prototype was up, she refused to sit still. She would probably run off on her own again, potentially causing herself all kinds of worse damage if he didn't intervene. In a single weekend, he'd gone from a hobbyist tinkerer to perhaps the first pony to set hoof onto an incredible road of life extension and medicine, one never before considered. But that meant incredible pressure for him:…-
