Ever since meeting Twilight for the first time several years ago, Rainbow had seen Equestria go through some pretty awful things. Some part of her wondered if it was her fault that the creatures around her were suffering so much, if maybe all the monsters and demons of the world would just leave everypony alone if they'd stayed at home in Ponyville and not made too much noise. Not that Rainbow was the sort of pony to accept that outcome, even if it would have kept Equestria safe. It was just one of those…-

Lotus stared down at Luna's response, turning over the magical letter in the air. She could hold it there now, so long as she stayed focused. That focus took total concentration, and shattered the instant she looked away. But it was all the proof she needed—she could learn this. She could get better. Once she mastered this new skill, she could return him to reality.Of course that wasn't what her new pen-pal seemed to want. She wanted Lotus to find the way back into another world, so they could be saved…-

Sweet Sauce was barely even aware of the next few hours—the entire next day, really. Expending additional effort unnecessarily was his least favorite thing. On the other hand, letting other ponies believe things about him that weren't true was a state that was all too easy to settle into. The mares were well-meaning, but not terribly inquisitive.They wanted him to drop his strange admission, and not hold them to their promise of helping him. So let them think that he'd been convinced. Of course, it was…-

For the first time since his transformation, Quinn's sleep was sightless and dreamless. He saw no higher-dimensional metaspace, no population of inhuman monsters and things that were somehow both human and not human at the same time. One moment he was on the little landing craft, and the next—he felt pain on his back, the cramps of his wings pressed for too long in the wrong direction. Quinn jerked upright, pushing away from the floor beneath him and up an inch into the air. He wasn't on the…-

Hayden barely registered his next few hours. The servants didn't leave him to his own devices this time—they had him washed and scrubbed clean, dressed in fresh clothes, then under the harsh white light of a doctor's inspection. But whatever they were hoping for, they must not have found it. There was nothing left to bandage, or any bruises. There was no visual sign at all that he'd nearly fallen off a cliff. "We have new instructions not to allow you beyond the grounds until…-

Amie was not a coward. Indeed, she was willing to stand and fight to give her brother a chance to escape, even when that opportunity was remote and his odds of success seemed slim. There was nothing she wouldn’t do to keep her family safe, even if it meant putting her own life at risk.But it wasn’t her brother being attacked right now. Instead, strangers from the sky descended on the people who were trying to murder her at that very moment.Instead of joining the melee, Amie dropped quietly back down…-

Orson was in an impossible situation. Nothing trapped him with the AI, at least not that he could tell. She hadn’t locked him into his car, and there were no soldiers outside. He didn’t even know where that elevator led. Yet he felt no less confined.“How do you even have the time to waste with this conversation?” he asked. “Aren’t you trying to take over the world? I’m just one person. As you said, I’m not even trained yet. And I think this whole ‘emigration’ thing proves you know…-

Dock with the station instead. 51% Twilight’s decision was a near thing, requiring hours of deliberation before she was finally certain of it. But after a few minutes of planning, she finally spoke up. “We’re not going to keep doing what didn’t work and what other ponies have already tried. I saw the power readings on the Prospector—that thing could tear the Equinox apart just as easily. It’s time to try something different. We’re docking with that megastructure.”Silence descended on the…-

Send boarding crew to Canterlot Station 43%“You realize how stupid it is for you to be going on this mission,” Sunset said, glaring at her just outside the docking bay. “This is why we have crews. This is why we delegate. We trust them to do these sorts of missions for us.”Twilight glanced briefly down the open door to the Prospector. Her crew was already waiting inside—Node, Rainbow Dash, and Apple Bloom, and Rarity. Between the four of them, they would cover just about any skill the mission…

Send an Unmanned Probe 61% Twilight watched the little probe’s faint exhaust trail as it shot away from the Equinox, building speed for its descent into the atmosphere of Proximus C. She wasn’t the only one on the bridge—Rainbow was there with her hooves on the weapons. Sunset sat at the coms console, with Rarity on the science station and Node just sort of orbiting around.Node’s new body demanded to be seen in a way that no synthetic pony could’ve. She’d made almost no compromises for the…
