Let Node run the ships 81% It really was a no-brainer for Twilight. Of course, she didn’t want to leave Spike feeling like he wasn’t getting his opinions respected, but ultimately practicality had to trump all else.“You’ll be there,” Twilight said flatly. “Your help has been instrumental in getting us this far. Won’t we be using a Signaler technology to reach a Signaler fleet?”“Well…” she shrugged, a gesture that somehow still made sense even with all those arms. “Yes. Assuming your…-

Let the program run as long as it takes. 59%It had been almost two weeks. They’d burned through most of their emergency rations, along with their patience. For a prospector, Applejack was none too happy smelling like one. Twilight herself had spent at least a few minutes alone in decompressed rooms, screaming into her suit with the radio deactivated.But then the lights came on. Twilight blinked, stirring only sluggishly in her space suit. Starlight’s voice came next, flat as ever but with more emotion…

Tie it down 49% Spike chewed nervously on the edge of his claws as he listened to Applejack’s running commentary on her work. He really would’ve rather been out there with her, to be the extra pair of claws if something went wrong. But Twilight needed tending, and they might need someone on the Equinox.“That’s three high-tension lines straight into her belly,” Applejack said. “If she tries to take off and fly away now, all she’ll do is be our little tugboat.”Spike had spent almost no time…

Drug, then freeze 49% Twilight was pained to give up such a potentially useful crew-member. But considering everything she’d done so far, the injuries she’d already caused, there was no way for her to justify returning Cozy Glow to freedom. She was probably preparing an escape plan right then, and it was only a matter of time before somepony made a mistake and the dangerous pony escaped.She prepared the meal carefully herself, though it was really just the same nutrient paste they ate every day. A…

Magical sails 53% Twilight didn’t know what to do. There was probably some easy option, something just out of reach for her. But whatever that option was, she didn’t know it. They couldn’t just build them both—they didn’t have the manpower to split between two options that way. Whenever the engineers were working, other aspects of the ship were abandoned. And if her spellcasters were building sails, they weren’t repairing damaged thaumic systems. “We’re going with your design, Starlight,”…

Dear Journal,I took my time with this one, wanted to see how good a job I could do if I really focused. As you can see, I've still got some work to do. Maybe next time I'll try some colored pencils or something. I wish I could draw somebody else. Maybe soon. Wait, what?Yes, that's right, major breakthrough today! Exciting, so I’ll be as brief about everything else as humanly possible.Went out for radio equipment, so I could keep a permanent broadcast from here and monitor as many of the frequencies as…-

Pinkie Pie 66%Twilight knew something was wrong from the moment Pinkie emerged from the ice. She wasn’t in the room then—the slurry of chemicals and refrigerants that would be in the air during a pony’s decanting were not something she wanted to ingest.But through the glass, she could see Pinkie Pie emerge, with a plain jumpsuit uniform still clinging to her frozen body. Bits of it broke apart in little chunks as she emerged, taking coat or skin with them on their way down. Sweet Celestia.The…

Find a nearby asteroid 64% They’d named the asteroid Harmony’s Repost, probably because Twilight was tired, and she didn’t have hours to obsess about what it should be called. Ever since they’d tossed their stowaway into the freezer, Twilight had been having trouble sleeping.It was all bluster, it’s okay. Equestria isn’t in danger. Still, she hadn’t be able to get her last words from her mind. “It already happened. It’s all gone back to the way it should be.” Even if they were still in…

Wake sunset after the prosthetics are implanted. 83% “And you don’t know of anything in the medical database that might explain it?” Twilight asked, exasperated. She was in the medical bay, beside the still-healing Sunset and Applejack’s empty bed. Several days had passed since she made the decision not to force Sunset to wake.Is there anything about twilight’s condition in the database? Critical no. Fluttershy gazed at her from across the table, shaking her head sadly. “I searched the whole…

They weren’t all here this time. Fluttershy refused to hear about leaving medical, and obviously Pinkie wouldn’t be able to join them. That meant only the three of them gathered together around the table meant to hold all seven, with Spike’s report in front of them and two prominent empty seats.“You’ve both seen it,” Spike said, as soon as they’d finished with awkward progress reports. Hydroponics was coming along with more Geneseed, and there was still almost a full day before Spike’s…
