Vera drifted.At first she hardly noticed anything was different—the water here was the perfect temperature, and there was no pesky brace or harness to weigh her down. The sound of distant surf was hardly unusual to her ears. It was the soothing sound of returning to shore after a long dive. Or just wading out into the surf and letting it carry her away from shore, where the world hadn't ended and her family weren't dead.She didn't really want to move, or even open her eyes. She was so unbelievably…-

Towards the Prospector (60%)Twilight Sparkle watched the display in front of her with modest disappointment. Somehow, she expected a thrilling chase through an alien star system to be a little more like the movies she’d enjoyed as a child. Where were the clever angles of ships zooming past each other, of entire battles resolved in the course of minutes?Instead, she watched the Prospector’s tractor tick slowly away closer, so slowly that she almost couldn’t register it.“You should know, captain,…-

Try to Talk the survivors down 88%Twilight was frozen for a moment, taking in the terrible situation on the bridge. But only for a moment, long enough for her rational mind to catch up with what she was seeing. These were ponies, and from the look of it, ponies that were in desperate need of help. Could she really risk hurting them, even for such an important goal? Besides, she was a princess. Ponies had a way to do things.“Take it easy,” she said, settling her rifle onto the ground beside her and…

Try to force her. 52% “Your civilization might be gone,” Spike began. “But that doesn’t mean their impact on the world has to be. You chose to stay behind, and because of you my friends are still alive.”Node just stared at him. Spike had no idea if he was getting through to her, or if she was plotting some transfer that would remove him from the system for good. Assuming she can even get out without my help. It is a honeypot.“Why should that matter to me?” she asked, voice as empty and bleak…

https://www.fimfiction.net/story/421779/79/voyage-of-the-equinox/chapter-79#comment/958154481544 Though there were many high rated comments with similar sentiments to this one. Through Twilight’s confusion, one truth surface before all the others. She might be somewhere strange; she might be light-years away from home and ignorant of the state of Equestria. But that didn’t mean all her knowledge and experience was suddenly invalid.She knew dark magic. Anything that could’ve done permanent damage to…

4. Let Spike Decide (He’ll be awake anyway, might as well let him choose once there’s more information)"I can't decide right now," Twilight said, pushing the tablet back with her magic. Spike caught it in his claws, frowning. "You've got to decide," he said. "It takes a long time to build a lander, Twi.""I know!" she grinned down at him. "And you'll be around to make the right choice. Wait until the probe gets there, then do what seems best." She hopped up onto the table, wincing visibly as the…

Wake up Sunset with her magic. 68%Twilight sat back in the medical bay, surrounded by spent spellcasting ingredients and broken crystal. She’d used more than half the stores of magical supplies on this spell—but just now she didn’t care. “I still don’t think… it’s reckless to use experimental spells to treat a living patient,” Fluttershy said. “She would probably wake up in her own time.” “Maybe she would,” Twilight said, shrugging one wing. She was too exhausted to argue, her mane…

He was doing Celestia’s work, helping to manifest in reality one of…-

Investigate the Infusion of Stability insteadIt physically hurt Twilight to leave information behind. But there was no way to rationalize sitting down in an alien device that was covered with warnings she could barely translate. It’s okay, Twilight. It’s still going to be here. I know exactly where this thing is, I can come back to it if I need to. Or they could come back and rip it right out of the floor for study. There didn’t seem to be any Signalers around to tell them otherwise.The “Infusion…

Use the Robotic Virus on Spike 45% “Are you sure you don’t need my help?” Fluttershy asked. Her voice was gentle and kind, as kind as Twilight ever remembered it. The others would have offered their own condolences, if they were awake to do it. But as it was, only she and her doctor would be witnesses at Spike’s vigil.But not even that. Fluttershy had her work cut out for her just getting everypony Twilight had brought back from the surface hooked into life support proper. Her own job had been poor…
