Attempt Twilight’s Plan. 94% Spike barely felt any doubt in his mind about what he had to do next. Cozy’s dominion might seem overwhelming, but they weren’t out yet. That pony was so confident they’d been out mastered that she didn’t seem to care to watch them here in medical.Her loss. I’m going to teach that pony to threaten my friends.“Are you sure about this?” Fluttershy asked, as he stomped over to the medical waste disposal and started removing screws. Of course none of the spare parts…-

If Apple Bloom isn’t contagious, have her investigate the contingency 41%Twilight woke in the middle of the night, to the unmistakable rumble of a hydrogen igniter. But the time she’d darted out of bed, she could feel the ground shaking all around her. She darted out the airlock, waiting the painful seconds it took to cycle, and emerged just in time to see the distant purple glow of the Prospector as it rumbled up into the sky.She considered briefly whether or not she should try to teleport aboard and…

Balanced Production 85%Twilight almost never visited Hydroponics. But now that she wandered between the rows of identical racks, surrounded by the first green and growing things she’d seen in months, she wished she’d come back more often. The system was mostly automated, with carefully measured spurts of water and precise modulation of the lights from the grow lamps.Per her instructions, half of the trays were filled only with a reddish green slurry, a paste that looked nothing at all like food and…

Set up a shelter in the cargo bay and deal with the problem later 81% “That’s exactly right,” Twilight agreed. “I know what to do. Order you to keep running. Fluttershy, get that shelter ready! We’re all going!”“Ain’t a good idea,” Applejack argued, though not in the tone she might use if she were intending to disobey. “You need every second. We’re bein’ followed, don’t forget it.”They arrived after a few minutes later. The ground hadn’t stopped shaking, and in fact Twilight…

The Thaumic Solution 73% It wasn’t exactly a list of good options. Twilight could practically taste the chaos in Canterlot as soon as they tried anything that might leave their two halves of pony civilization with some lasting class divide. Node could only give vague answers about how long it would take to reach the Flotilla once they stepped into the Highway, but Twilight didn’t think the enlightened races there would take too kindly to their arrival if their ship was in the middle of a civil war.…

Hunt and destroy with all resources 47%“You don’t have a choice,” Rainbow said, hacking and coughing. Whatever had happened to her during the creature’s brief attack, it was slowing her down. There were burns on the front of her armor, most concentrated near her head, and her rifle’s capacitors had all exploded. The suit seemed to have protected the rest of her from that explosion. “We have to bring it down. Once that thing gets into the buckin’ ruins, it’s gone. No way it doesn’t know we…

Remain in orbit to treat Applejack and interrogate Node 50%Twilight didn’t let herself relax until the engines finally cooled again and all the screens in front of her were glowing green. She checked the orbital projection, waited a few seconds for the computer to return confirmation that their trajectory was stable, then spun her chair around. “Guess you… had an adventure down there,” Fluttershy muttered, her eyes never leaving Node. For the first time since Twilight had met her, the doctor was…

Node's: Use the truth. 84%Spike raised a claw to knock, but the door swung open on its own. He retreated a step—but it was only Apple Bloom on the other side. She was wearing one of those strange harness-things, making her stand vertically like he was. She was also entirely biological, just like he was. Just like Node. “I was wonderin’ when you would show up,” she said. “After Pinkie found her way here… she said you’d finally found yer way in to bust us all out of this place.”“I have,”…

Applejack 36%Twilight wasn’t sure she was ready. On the other side of that airlock door was an alien world—a place that had once overflowed with life. A city big enough to hold a billion, billion ponies, all gone cold and dead with the unstoppable advance of time.It was the moment this mission had been preparing her for, in many ways. It was the ultimate goal of their trip.“Why are we stationary?” asked the probe from in front of her. It had been fitted with a radio transmitter, that would repeat…

Gradually reduce her dose 52%“Twilight, you have to understand… what you’re asking for isn’t…” Fluttershy took a deep breath, stopping beside her in the hallway. “She’s doing better, Fluttershy,” Twilight said. “She’s healing. She doesn’t need to be so drugged she’s barely conscious anymore. You know how awful that is for Pinkie… being stuck in a little room like that…”“I know she’s not doing well, captain…” Fluttershy shook her head. “But the reason she was able…
