Repair the Canterlot 59% Over the next few weeks, Twilight had one focus above all others: they needed to get the Canterlot back to working order. She would’ve been as happy as anypony else if they had the resources to spare repairing their rooms and making the place feel like home again. But ultimately it didn’t matter how ugly everything was, if the air vents worked and the water kept flowing.They had already restored a great deal of the station’s manufacturing infrastructure, at least as much as…-

Chase the prospector, but Spike starts on the device. Applejack was right about how far behind they had become during the few weeks Twilight let the probe’s program run. The Equinox’s chief engineer made good use of the time—Twilight saw her moving every moment, always at work preparing for their mad gambit. Applejack performs repairs on damage caused by computer failure. 90% complete. But Twilight could be of only nominal assistance. The parts of the Equinox that made sense to her were digital. But…

Relax and heal 73% A week went by on the surface of Proximus B. At first Twilight did her best to keep up with every member of the crew, since they spent most of their time arranging the fields and planting all the seeds they’d brought. It was nowhere near to the entire stockpile, but it would keep them fed for months if the crop came in. Not to mention enough Geneseed to wake the rest of the crew.The alien soil had a strange smell to it, like every scoop had been ground with nuts and ash. But the…

This body was obviously falling apart, Twilight could see that as he walked slowly around the workshop. Wires occasionally sparked where he moved, and other sections showed obvious signs of wear. The basic structure of the body was the same as the one node had built for itself in those ruins, but other than that, there was very little in common. Iron Horse began by reciting many of the same details that Apple Bloom had. Their crew arriving on the ring, figuring out how to mate with its airlock, traveling…

Call Applejack immediately 43%Twilight had an awful feeling about this. As she removed the radio from her pack and switched it back on, she could feel the beginnings of nausea in her chest, and the tension in her limbs. It was the feeling she always got when she knew there was going to be conflict. But there was nothing for it. The Equinox’s chief engineer relied on trust more than anypony else aboard. There could be no softening the truth for her, no beautiful lies. If Twilight kept this secret and…

Twilight should’ve gone and done something else. She could be out alleviating Fluttershy’s suspicions perhaps, lowering the risk that she would head down to the central computer to investigate what had happened.But Twilight didn’t care about anything else. This was her vigil, and she had to watch, until the first signs of motion emerged from within.Does the process work as intended? Critical no. The cocoon looked as though an invisible wind had stirred it. Its fibers unraveled, spreading in a dust…

Twilight Sparkle circled her workbench, occasionally leaning in close to prod at a gear or fiddle with the wires leading to a thaumic crystal. Her creation remained dutifully still, perched on a pedestal that would act as its home and repair station.It was about the size of Owlicious, and based on a similar avian body-plan. A probe meant to travel through a Worldgate would certainly encounter rough terrain, and couldn’t rely on something as feeble as wheels or a single rotor like Tank’s flight-harness.…-

Towards the Prospector (60%)Twilight Sparkle watched the display in front of her with modest disappointment. Somehow, she expected a thrilling chase through an alien star system to be a little more like the movies she’d enjoyed as a child. Where were the clever angles of ships zooming past each other, of entire battles resolved in the course of minutes?Instead, she watched the Prospector’s tractor tick slowly away closer, so slowly that she almost couldn’t register it.“You should know, captain,…

Try to Talk the survivors down 88%Twilight was frozen for a moment, taking in the terrible situation on the bridge. But only for a moment, long enough for her rational mind to catch up with what she was seeing. These were ponies, and from the look of it, ponies that were in desperate need of help. Could she really risk hurting them, even for such an important goal? Besides, she was a princess. Ponies had a way to do things.“Take it easy,” she said, settling her rifle onto the ground beside her and…
