Probe penetrates the atmosphere. 72%Twilight gave her order, but it wasn’t as though that meant for an instant delivery of all the answer they wanted. They sent off their command, and then began another long period of silence while they all waited to know what would become of the probe.No one got anything done, not even Spike. To the extent that Spike could get anything done anymore. Twilight knew better than to ask him. Twilight took the time she had to make a brief tour around the Equinox, catching up…-

Save the Apples first. 27%It was a tough decision—Spike wasn’t entirely sure he was even talking to the real Pinkie, or if the pony he was talking to was even sane. But what choice did he have? It became instantly clear why Pinkie was alone: she had no idea how to navigate the city. “Let’s go this way!” she said, pointing towards a hill. “Looks like there are trees if we go far enough that way, and I know Applejack likes trees.”“Well…” Spike hesitated for a second. “Or we could use…

Join the Flotilla 66%There was definitely a part of Twilight that reveled in the idea of staying back to stick it to the forces arrayed against them. The Hunger had cost her so much--had nearly devoured her civilization whole, and somehow finding a way to stop it had a deeply personal appeal. If Equestria wasn't in her hooves, and it was just her and her friends left, she might've done it.But they weren't alone. Over a hundred thousand creatures were frozen on the Canterlot, all depending on her Twilight…

Treat her here 94% First there was the simple notification from the ship’s computer that they were nearing the end of their deceleration burn, and would soon fire the navigational thrusters to settle into stable orbit around Proximus B. This meant the Eye could get a good view, and would likely have interesting information about the planet below.But on her way to the eye’s little station near the top of the Equinox, she got another message—from Spike. “It’s finished,” he said, his voice nervous…

Applejack (Engineering, Hydroponics) Twilight stared unblinking into her mirror, eyes watering even with the assistance of a pair of new plastic glasses. A thin line of fuzzy mane had sprouted in the week since she had first woken, the only healthy color on her whole body. Patches of her fur were still missing, with splotches of grayish skin visible underneath. But they’d started to itch terribly, which the manual told her meant they were healing. The joys of being generation one. She could only hope…

Build a Habitat 54% In some ways it was the hardest decision Twilight had made yet, with the possible exception of whether or not to trade Equestria’s safety for its freedom. After all, the crew of the Equinox amounted to a small minority compared to the number of shiprats, which the Canterlot’s dubious sensors placed somewhere in the low hundreds.Even if their hugely weakened bodies could survive being frozen (and eventually revived), there was a very real chance that their friendliness with the…

Stay in orbit until Applejack's condition can be properly diagnosed. 70%Twilight stared down at the medical report, occasionally squinting at the close dots in the printout. “This is a joke, right? Pinkie Pie put you up to…”“I didn’t,” Pinkie called from across the large central area. She’d been zipped into the sleeping bag for the last few hours, apparently not actually asleep. “Wasn’t me.”Fluttershy glared over the printout at her. “I wouldn’t joke with a patient’s health,…

Unfortunately for Twilight, she wouldn’t be waking in the medical bay with every problem in her world already resolved.Twilight takes five points of lethal psychic damage. Her whole body felt like it was on fire, her head most of all. But there were shouting voices in her ear, the voices of her crew. “Ugh… what?” she sat up, shaking her head once and trying to make her eyes focus on them.Has Twilight received the gift of INSIפH┴? Critical yes. She’s burning her fur is melted oh Celestia what…

Manipulate the highway with magic 53% Twilight could certainly see the danger in their decision. Using magic on an alien system they barely understood was hardly what she would describe a ‘wise’ choice. There were unknown dangers at play, interactions between pony magic and the Signaler technology.But the more Twilight considered their final voyage, the more certain she was that Canterlot would not survive a trip at conventional speeds. If they couldn’t win by following the rules, they would just…

Twilight stared across the hospital bed at Starlight Glimmer, wincing at the obvious signs of cryosickness. Even Earth Ponies woken always looked a little worse for wear, but the effect seemed even more pronounced on Unicorns. Her mane was a faint fuzz, and where her coat no longer covered, her body was covered angry red patches. There was no winning against the necrosis, only holding it back. But Twilight was most interested in her eyes--even if her body looked perfect from the outside, there was no…
