Twilight uses the Perseverance of Insight 57% “Anything I should know before I try this thing, Node?” Twilight said, hesitating on the edge of the chair. But after considering her options, there was really no way around it. Node’s loyalties were still questionable, and Rainbow Dash just didn’t have the mental fortitude to withstand the effects of an alien device. That left her.Node shrugged one plastic shoulder. It was a convincing imitation of something Twilight might’ve done. “You will have…-

Tracy yanked off oversized clothes as he ran, ditching his shirt and jacket in the hall between his office and Janet's. The pants were a little more stubborn—he couldn't get those off without stopping. The sound of running, terrified people followed him like a wraith, so close it sounded like they might tackle him at any moment.But none did, and he made it all the way to his office, passing dumbfounded coworkers and confused secretaries along the way. By the time he kicked the door shut, he could hear a…-

Until meeting Rainbow Dash, Firefly imagined she was the fastest pony in all Equestria. Even with the painful reality of her limitations, she still saw herself as fast. She could move quick enough that she didn't even leave a blur behind.She crossed her apartment in a flash, moving well away from the ritual circle. Without Lilac to tell her what it would do, she wanted nothing to do with its contents, or the magic it might summon. It wasn't that she knew it would hurt her. There were just too many…-

The Radiant Hope finally arrived at the place that corresponded with home in her world, the settlement she'd been told was called "Flurry's Vigil." From her porthole far above, Kyle saw a few dozen wooden buildings and a temporary wall, along with a huge field for their vessel to touch down. Like the ship itself, it looked like something ripped right out of history.The one called Princess Twilight arrived to personally escort them out. Kyle's first other Alicorn that wasn't a baby.It was as obvious then as…-

Ryan could've stayed with his friends while they asked around the city, gathering all the information they could on Kaelynn's disappearance. That was probably the smarter play, considering how little they knew. Maybe each of them was a target, and the deceptive note was a multilayered lie, meant to lull them into underestimating their enemy. Maybe they would get picked off one by one.All that might be true, but he just couldn't bring himself to care. His own selfish eagerness to see Earth again might just…-

Magpie caught them up on everything she’d seen and done, though she was light on the details that had led to her void compass. At least she could save her pride, since the specifics of how she’d “stolen” it from Polestar didn’t matter very much.She went through the attack on the tram, then what Bauble had decided in just a few more minutes. “We could be worse off,” Silver declared, as soon as she’d finished. He wore a breastplate made of scavenged Alicorn air-armor, along with a belt of…-

Things went more or less back onto the schedule after that. Lady Moonstone presented her to Julian, then returned her to the Shaymin table. Most of the plant-foxes there were strangers to her—she hadn't even known the family had enough people to fill their own table. "That melting thing was killer, sapling," one of them said. Hayden didn't know him, though he wasn't much older than Eleanor. At least, he didn't look much older. "Little morbid, but—damn. Quick way to…-

"Was your farcasting productive, Queen Amie?" Natane asked. She was right beside Amie when her eyes opened, as though she'd been reclining there the entire time. Maybe she had been. But were those her eyes watching, or a far mightier creature, far away?She nodded. Amie was a little out of breath and missing some of her magic. She still didn't know how to measure it exactly—but it felt like less than what she'd gathered from her time with Tailslide. A little love could save quite a few starving bugs, it…-

Perseverance and sleeping ponies 37% Twilight had a bad feeling about what she was about to do.There was no arguing with the hunger for information in her gut, the quiet flame that had stayed burning since her first expedition into the Memorial. Twilight had been leading this expedition in ignorance for long enough—it was time to rectify the situation.She started with a trip to visit Node, in the workshop they’d given the machine more to placate it than because they thought they would get anything…

They spent several hours at that table, before finally heading home to finish their conversation by the fireplace. Load told him about all the work he'd done, building infrastructure at an archaeological dig site. Tracy learned about the friends he'd made, all sentenced to community service just as he had been.In return, Tracy had less to share with Load than he wanted, since all his questions were about Earth. He hadn't ever cared about politics the way Load did, and the others weren't talking nearly as…
