Fabricate mining infrastructure 36%The debate grew heated towards the end, with her crew practically shouting at each other with the importance of their choices. But in the end, Twilight was the deciding vote.“Everything we want to do has one thing in common,” she explained, once they’d all fallen silent. “We need resources. We may never have another chance to gather them.”“Our chance may already be gone,” Node countered. “Well, yours. The dragon and I may be the only ones left alive on…-

Yellow Alert 73% Twilight couldn’t ask everypony to lock themselves away, not during such an important moment. The Canterlot would have to trade a little power for crew morale as they began the jump.“I’m there, Twi,” Spike said from just beside her, voice gentler than it had been in a long time. How long had she been sitting there without making an order? “Modifications are in place, crew is ready. Say when.”“Launch,” Twilight ordered. For a few terrifying seconds there was nothing, just…

Invite her to the meeting 46% Twilight wasn’t the only one who would be attending the meeting with Apple Bloom in bed. She felt well enough to walk around after a good night’s sleep, but Fluttershy insisted she needed to wait at least one more day before she would be allowed to move again. For Applejack, the time would be far longer.At least her friend finally seemed relaxed. After all the struggling she’d done, Applejack rested back in the cot, wincing occasionally when Fluttershy arrived to change…

Give Node the Countermeasure, investigate perpetuity 65%Twilight wanted to leave the mysterious object behind. But not quite so much as she needed to know what it was. It was located on the ground floor, along a straight path directly from the entrance. If the Signalers thought about design even remotely like ponies did, it was probably the main purpose for ‘the Memorial.’ I need to figure out a way to let Applejack study it without exposing her to it like I was.She had a bad feeling that other ponies…

Dear Journal,I’m not dead yet. Ten whole days have gone by in this awful body, and I’m not dead yet. I think how easy it would’ve been for fate to leave me with something familiar, but of course that couldn’t happen. It was all or nothing. I wish it took me too.Sky did what she said and fed the chickens this morning, in addition to making more omelets (this time with cheese and peppers. Everything is better with cheese). Something tasted a little different about the eggs. Maybe it was having them…-

Dear Journal,Holy crap have I been stupid. Majorly, royally, inhumanly stupid. Give me some credit: I’m not human. My head is smaller than it used to be, I figure my brain must be smaller too. Some of that might be smaller body to control, but it can’t all be that simple. Some of it’s got to be less brains. Maybe we’ll do an MRI or something and figure out the specifics.Maybe you'd like to ask why I was so stupid. If you've been reading my journal straight through until this point, you probably…

Twilight spun.She'd been spinning for a long time now—hours? It felt like hours. There was a clock in her room, and she could hear the ticking as it echoed. Unfortunately it was facing away from her, so she had no way of knowing how long she'd been here. Was Starlight's insane plan to help Celestia and Luna working? She could only hope so—for the sake of all Equestria. She told herself this was why she hadn't yet cast the spell to return to her real body, asleep even now in her castle back in…-

Refuse to give the order. “You know I wouldn’t do that,” Twilight said. “If you’re willing to go through the process, or maybe to use the contingency device, then that’s your choice to make. I won’t force you to… subject yourself to that. I would suggest that you should spend more of your time near medical, if you want to be alive when we arrive at… wherever we’re going.” She raised a wing, interrupting whatever Sunset was about to say. “I’m calling a general meeting of the crew.…

Study the remains. 44%Twilight was back in the hospital for the next few days. Considering the number of times she’d been bruised, bloodied, or otherwise injured since being first defrosted, she was starting to miss the beep of the monitoring system whenever she couldn’t hear it.At least there was one consolation to her visit this time: she could be there to see Applejack walk for the first time.Everypony who wasn’t involved in their research on the mysterious creature was there, though there was…

Begin the Journey 75% “And you’ll be the last pony who has to go through this. We’re suspending all mining operations and preparing to leave.” Twilight didn’t want to watch an alien virus devour someone’s body and replace it with artificial substitutes. But some part of this was her fault—she owed Sunset staying until she’d been completely overcome. Twilight couldn’t give her a reassuring pat on the shoulder, or get anywhere close enough to risk exposure. She could still see the betrayal…
