Lotus slept uneasily that night. In a single day, everything she thought she knew about her world was now taken away. Even finding a comfortable position wasn't easy--despite the size of her bed, no human position let her relax. Even when she finally found a way to rest, with her legs out to either side, that only let her physical discomfort fade into the deeper, emotional pain. Her body had been stolen, her financial future was uncertain, and some unknown, dangerous enemy from another world was now…-

Escape through the ring. 52% Twilight would’ve loved to stay behind in this amazing station and study it for a hundred years. The technology that had built it was so advanced as to fill her with awe—and hope—for Equestria’s own future. If these builders could build impressive megastructures, there was no saying Equestria couldn’t too.But however curious she was, however much she had to see what happened, her friends were still comatose, and the air was running out. Not to mention there was just…-

Twilight gets air, Sunset fixes the Equinox 43%“I’m not happy you left her up here,” Spike’s voice said over the radio, following Twilight through the halls towards the docking bay. She moved quite slowly, both from the lack of gravity and the bulky EVA suit that she wore. “I don’t trust her yet. Fluttershy is too kind to stop her if she tries anything we don’t want her to.”“Sunset isn’t as bad as she used to be,” Twilight muttered, rounding the corner towards the docking bay. She was…

Wake up Sunset with her magic. 68%Twilight sat back in the medical bay, surrounded by spent spellcasting ingredients and broken crystal. She’d used more than half the stores of magical supplies on this spell—but just now she didn’t care. “I still don’t think… it’s reckless to use experimental spells to treat a living patient,” Fluttershy said. “She would probably wake up in her own time.” “Maybe she would,” Twilight said, shrugging one wing. She was too exhausted to argue, her mane…

Use Spike's help to discover what Cozy was up to 55%Twilight watched Cozy burn. One too many times she’d trusted that this pony was dealt with—but each and every time, she’d proven her wrong. She wouldn’t be waiting for her to ruin something else she loved.The furnace eventually went dark, opening to reveal a tiny container of pale ash. Ordinarily their biowaste would go into the greenhouse—but something felt wrong about doing that to the corpse of a pony, even a terrible enemy. She dumped the…

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…

Use the Robotic Virus on Spike 45% “Are you sure you don’t need my help?” Fluttershy asked. Her voice was gentle and kind, as kind as Twilight ever remembered it. The others would have offered their own condolences, if they were awake to do it. But as it was, only she and her doctor would be witnesses at Spike’s vigil.But not even that. Fluttershy had her work cut out for her just getting everypony Twilight had brought back from the surface hooked into life support proper. Her own job had been poor…

Charge. 55%Spike gritted his teeth, staring down the rifle aimed at his chest. There was no longer a mystery in his mind about whether he would survive it—he’d been shot before. This pony was threatening his friends, threatening to stand all of them forever in this desolate star system. She wasn’t going to get away with it.Cozy shoots Spike. 7 vs 6. Cozy Shoots first. He lunged, baring his teeth in a desperate, instinctive snarl. He felt the impact in his chest driving him back before he heard the…

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…

Coach Spike and have him retake the Equinox. 47%Spike scratched uselessly at the medical bulkhead, widening the grooves he was making along the lock. Had this been simple steel, he would have been though it hours ago. But they’d built the Equinox to last, and that meant its most important parts could endure anything. Including dragon claws, apparently.“Don’t bother, Spike,” Fluttershy said, voice weak. “You heard what she said. We can leave the Equinox as soon as it’s about to crash. She’ll…
