Within the hour, the Purple Council had been convened. Faith thought the name was a little silly, particularly since it included her mother, who was black, and the princess, for whom a rank meant nothing. At least she didn’t have to force her way into the meetings. It wasn’t just her father’s name that got her in anymore—now she led the Gatecrashers.The meeting hadn’t actually waited for her. By the time she slipped inside, Lord Commander Chain Mail was already speaking. “—at least there…-

Hayden was in a daze. She listened to the drums—that beat meant a sighting from two stations down along the wall. That particular beat signaled at least one airship. She could tell no more from merely listening.“Sargent, get East Wind back to the keep!” she ordered, turning to take off. She didn’t even wait for a response from the pony, just beat her wings and leapt off the side of the wall. She caught herself in a smooth parabola that took her up above the edge, where she could get a good look…-

Harlequin stared at the strange pony, body completely frozen with horror. So far as she knew, she’d made the trip totally safely, without doing anything to reveal who and what she was.Yet here was a pony to show her just how wrong she was. Without any effort, this pony had known she was a changeling. And she still wanted to claim that she wasn’t here for some hostile reason? “What do you want?” Harlequin asked. It was the closest thing she dared to a denial. “First, to introduce myself,” she…-

Gina didn’t have a chance to struggle. As little as she thought of the fierceness of ponies, she wasn’t going to test them in combat. It wasn’t really fair to take the victory of the best warriors in Accipio against a crew of unprepared sailors as proof that no pony anywhere could be a danger to her.These bats in particular were unlike the ponies she had seen before. Every bat she’d ever seen had been in some kind of military position or another. Escorting Princess Luna, pulling her chariot. Now…-

Jamie knew she would have to make her time in the royal castle productive. With no creature coming to rescue her and no skills to escape, her only hope of survival transformed to simple cleverness. Maybe there was some fact she could use as blackmail hidden away, or some weakness of the princess’s defenses.And maybe there was, but if that was the case, Jamie just couldn’t figure out what it might be. The dictator hadn’t left her any human books either, so she wouldn’t even be able to learn the…-

She swam through a kingdom of fish, with a tail of her own, surrounded by a crowd of other fish. Plainly impossible things, except that she was living them.Summer had…-

connect it without giving it mainframe access 74%It was hardly the time to be worrying about Spike’s project. With Pinkie Pie’s revival, Twilight barely had the time or the energy for what would come next. But with as invested as Spike was into the project, some part of her worried that if she didn’t throw it out an airlock or help him soon, she would wake up one morning with the reactor shut down and the computer monopolized by another alien.“Okay, Spike,” She swallowed, trying to keep her face…-

It had to be at least two in the morning, maybe later. It was hard to know without a clock. Their entire group huddled together in the center of the little bedroom, hanging on Jacob's every word. He was still a little dazed, his mind turning over everything Sunset had told him in the hall. He had rushed back immediately to share it with his friends—they had as much right to know as he did."Before you explain it Jacob, think about how you feel right now." Harley folded her arms, looking stern. "Don't try…-

The human airship had been impressive in its own way, even if it became incredibly frustrating as soon as the engines actually turned on. But Ocellus kept her mouth closed and didn’t complain during the flight. Compared to her friends, she was fantastically lucky. At least she didn’t have to spend the entire trip strapped into one place for fear that walking around would unbalance the whole thing.Equestria might not know how to make airships stay as warm inside, they might not know how to make them out…-
