Catlin carried the half-broken frame back aboard her orbiter, as once she had been carried by her own mechanical body, while confined to the blindness of a Zariman suit.She instructed Ordis to find a safe landing site as close to the city as he could, then changed into something more fitting. She considered and rejected an entire suite of different Warframes. All were powerful warriors, but the time for battle in Equestria was over.For the ponies' sake, she could only hope Twilight's spell had removed the…-

Dakota blinked, and nearly fell over on her shaky legs. She’d seen plenty of drones in her time, plenty of robots. Even her early memories included delivery drones, and little flying things that people would use to record their vacations and sporting events. But this… it was hard to compare this to a little flying box that dropped off a pizza. Something that could stand and walk on two legs, without the awkwardness of the old Boston Dynamics creations.“That screen head thing is… incredibly…-

Domino watched from the ramparts as the hackers began to arrive. Even if he’d known absolutely nothing about the upcoming visit, he would’ve known instantly the sort of people he was dealing with. These ponies didn’t come in from Wintercrest, but appeared along the streets of Tortuga in explosive flashes of lights, riding chariots drawn by dragons, and other such overbearing nonsense.Then there were some who didn’t walk up at all, appearing only as they crossed the portcullis below and arrived in…-

Starlight Glimmer knew she wasn’t going to enjoy the tournament.She hadn’t intended to go at first—some parts of Accipian culture just weren’t meant to be appreciated by ponies. They weren’t the only nation like that. Thanks to her connection with Twilight, she’d visited Yakyakistan at least once, and been thoroughly appalled by the time she left. But the yaks enjoyed it, so who was she to judge?This was different, though. This wasn’t just slavery, something that deeply upset most ponies who…-

Things were not going well for Twilight Sparkle. She’d already known she faced a daunting task, one of the most difficult magical feats that anypony had ever attempted. But how could she say no to Cadance? She’d looked into her face and been able to taste her desperation, as real as the dirt under her hooves.But the longer she invested into probing the boundary between worlds, the less she felt like she was making any progress. Yes, she had created a spell that could track Flurry past the boundary of…-

Night came as harshly as ever to Moonrise, with the excitement and glee at the first night replaced with resignation. Yes, it was true that Moonrise was, if anything, too warm on the beginning of the first night. But they all knew what would be coming in a month’s time, and so the celebrations were short-lived.Chain Mail’s advice had been sound, even if they couldn’t obey it. Ponies were upset to be forced back bunking with other camps. Worse since Quill’s own Lunar company was much larger than any…-

Kaelynn was helpless.Her last few weeks of life had made that an almost-daily reality. It didn't matter how long and how successfully she had fought to control her own destiny—this new world had decided to trap her in a tank.Now she knew the battle taking place outside—Ryan had warned her of what they discovered and where they were. But while her friends fought for their lives, she was trapped in a tank.This one was even smaller than the one she'd used to cross the desert, so small that she had to roll…-

June 8, 2015Dear Journal,Went to Home Depot. Used to be one of my favorite stores, back in the day. Wasn’t a problem I couldn’t fix at home by shopping there. Brought a generator home, really nice standby unit with variable production levels and everything I need to patch it into our house and the solar network we already have. 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…-

Sunset Shimmer didn’t really want to go, particularly when she would have to leave Twilight behind. But there wasn’t any choice—she was supposed to represent the Tower now. She’d already done much to test the patience of King Richard, and Sir Bradley deserved better than to be left alone. But as she rose from where she’d been docked into the charging port, Sunset couldn’t help but feel naked without Twilight’s necklace around her neck. There was nothing to bring with her, really. She had no…-

They were through the fence now. Applejack stood beside her brother as they followed Pinkie Pie inside. She didn't seem quite so bouncy anymore, or at least, didn't stay in the air quite so long. She still tried, so far as the armor would permit. Pinkie Pie might be able to stretch the limits of gravity, but apparently human armor suits did not.She led the way into one of the two halves of the settlement, seeming to know exactly where she was going. Hundreds of humans moved about on both sides, moving…-
