The safehouse wasn't just a safehouse, but an armory. Harley led them to a closed door that looked like all the other bedrooms, and unlocked it with her Unity ID card.The room practically hummed with magic. Harley stopped in the doorway, glaring back at Jackie and the others. "The rest of you stay out. This room is hot.""This is horse shit, Harley.""You should've seen how we got out of Unity," Jacob muttered.She ignored him. "Why the hell can't I come with you? You're taking a known traitor and a unicorn…-

Ocellus winced, taking in the skepticism and quiet plotting from the agents. They plan on fighting. If we don’t convince them not to soon. They don’t like having this conversation on someone else’s terms.“I think you might have to come in. Make sure you tell the others not to get provoked into fighting. I don’t know what these humans want, but I think they’re just as confused as we are.”Marie didn’t reply, but she could hear voices on the other side of the door. Good for her, figuring out…-

I still can't believe I'm doing this. Lotus stared out the shadowy windows of her old pickup. As insane as this plan was, they'd still made it all the way out here, a short run from the gas station.Now the QuikTrip lights glowed against a foggy night, joined only by the occasional flash of headlights blazing along the highway. Almost no one stopped, and seconds turned into minutes of relatively uninterrupted peace. "The longer we sit here, the more time for somebody to roll up," Gus said. The truck was off…-

As it turned out, Sir Bradley had prepared more than food down here. Without anything better to do, they took the time to open all the crates, revealing bedrolls, tents, basic cookware—an entire camp’s worth of supplies.Of course Sunset and any other Builders there wouldn’t have needed it, but that didn’t mean she couldn’t help. They set up everything, arranging the sleeping bags before making a cooking circle with chunks of crystal and the crates themselves as fuel. While Trixie cooked a batch…-

There was silence in the war-room as Hayden finally finished presenting her plan. The space was no longer mostly vacant, but packed with ponies—many were soldiers, those of the highest ranks who had decided to stay. But plenty more were just prominent citizens of Icefalls.Including its new city-lord. They didn’t have fancy robes for Nightbreeze, didn’t even have a crown for her yet. She sat on the raised chair at the center of the room looking like somepony who had just been struck in the face with…-

Theo followed the pony at an arm’s reach, unable to suppress her constant, background fear at being around someone so important. For all the time she’d been in Equestria, she knew almost nothing about its royalty. Should she have refused the request?For all her panic, her companion didn’t seem to be having the same concerns. She glanced at the symbols scribbled on the edge of various shelves, reading some meaning from them that Theo herself couldn’t. Some pony equivalent of the Dewey Decimal…-

Dear Journal,She didn’t wake up yet.June 22, 2015Dear Journal,New pony still isn’t awake yet. Settled into a routine, as good as we can. Now that it’s clear she’s not just going to die for no reason, we don’t keep her watched 24/7. We just don’t have the manpower. Realistically, it’s not like keeping someone with her is going to make a life-or-death difference, right? We have no trained doctors, no trauma surgeons or even any EMTs. The best we could’ve done was make sure she didn’t wake…-

Jackie knew she’d screwed up at about the moment she turned to see her friend and realized she wasn’t there. Shit shit shit.There was good reason why you never left someone asleep in the Dreamlands without someone else around. The danger only existed for those who were traveling there physically, since dreamers could not sleep while within.“She’s gone,” Avery said, staring at the empty spot. “Was the surgery really that terrifying for her? I’m not offended—many of my own kind cannot remain…-

Arcane knew better than to wait for Cold Iron in the copy of her prison. If she’d been imprisoned here, she sure as hell wouldn’t want it to be the first thing she saw.

She was a rival—a minor supporting character in Iron’s story.Besides, there was a pony who needed to know—the one who’d been working support for this mission.
