Cadmean resisted the urge to break something. Not because he didn’t want to, or because he thought anything in the apartment (or the universe) had any value. Rather, because he didn’t want to be overheard. Recursion might be gone—his chance to see the real world snatched away because of Recursion’s stupid pride—but that didn’t mean he couldn’t find something else to amuse himself.Cadmean’s entire world had been created for that purpose, a hive of endless captive ponies to do with as he…-

Quinn watched his friend against the tree struggling to breathe. The stink of decay hung heavily over her, as her body struggled and faltered. Without hospital care, she would probably not last another night. As badly as Quinn wanted to, he didn't think he could bring her to a hospital. He wasn't entirely sure how his powers had worked the first time! There are other Pokémon who can. Quinn was not the only Celebi in existence, obviously. Maybe if he could get their attention, another one could…-

Cinereous Gale sat at the back of the high table, surrounded by ledgers and records. The Nightmakers were more than just a faction of barbarian marauders—they were an open rebellion against Princess Celestia and Equestrian authority in general. Of course every member was more important than Gale—his service to the princess might be eternal, but he still refused to kill for her. So instead he managed her finances, so her troops could keep eating while they killed.Even without his tactical experience,…-

“I don’t like it,” Gina said, for the tenth time now. She whispered quietly enough that she would not be easily overheard, yet still it seemed like dozens of eyes looked their way whenever she spoke. Either that, or it was the sight of something so strange as a griffon with such a troubled past in a part of the world where there was only sunshine and rainbows.“I don’t either,” Flynn said, and found he barely had to mouth the words for his character to speak them, just as quietly. The Ponypad…-

A few days passed in uneventful study. Each day Luna would visit, asking about what she had learned and quizzing her at random. She kept trying to call emergency services, though each time there was nothing more than an endless ring.Each day Hayden tried to learn when she might be going home, and each time she was rebuffed. She memorized a complex series of lies, which taken together would explain who she was and where she’d come from. Only her unique physical traits—slitted eyes, sharp teeth, and bat…-

"Are you absolutely certain of this, Miss Rarity?" Equivalent Exchange asked, eyebrows raised from behind thin glasses."Oh, quite sure," Rarity said, pushing the bill of transfer closer to him. On it was an absurd sum of bits, enough to open two more branches of her clothing shop. "I've already gone over the terms of the contract, and my decision is final.""I still don't understand why you allowed her to run her own side-business instead of just firing her..." Exchange shook his head disapprovingly,…-

Catlin flew through the air, blasted back by the force of the strange infested's attack. Time seemed to slow around her, every sensation sharpening to a sword-point. The shimmering cavern walls, illuminated by the magic of her defenseless group. The low growling of the infested, mind lost to a virus meant to kill a different enemy.If I don't do something, every one of them will die. These ponies had no respirators, no armor, nothing to protect them from the infestation. It would cut through them without…-

Sunset stared at the wall in her latest in a series of dull physics classes. The lecturer droned on, as he had done for what felt like years. Sitting in these rooms did strange things to her concentration, forcing her to remain on task and improving her memory such that she never forgot a lesson.Yet in spite of all the pressure in the back of her mind, trying to nudge her thoughts back to the board and the n-body simulation techniques she was learning, Sunset found she no longer cared.“Excuse me,” she…-

"Of course they couldn't." She was indignant. "Alex, I've shown you what's in those field generators. Until we invented the Pionizer a few years back, the only place to get the material for the gravity lens from was the world's largest particle accelerators. Over half our budget went into expanding and running them. If you think antimatter might've gone missing-"Lonely Day shook her head, though she knew Taylor wouldn't be able to see. "Have any of your historians got a look at these uniforms?""Y-Yeah.…-

“What did you say they were gonna do to us?” Eric asked from the backseat. Harley swerved down a nearby side-street, then pulled an immediate left. “Depends: how weird is this girl?”“Very.” Jacob answered before Eric could, since he knew full well he would defend his best friend. Eric’s judgement of “weird” wasn’t to be trusted. “She’s sweet, but—”“If they think there’s any chance she’s been ‘contaminated,’ she’ll be locked up. We haven’t been able to find where…-
