Dear Journal,Holy crap what a day. Out of the freakin’ sky. Who does that pony think she is? Does she have any idea how much damage she could’ve caused? The injury or death of one of the last few survivors could guarantee no colony ever succeeds! Particularly when the success of a colony depends far more on having a large number of females than on males.Not that it matters, since for all I know we’re all only going to live another decade or so. Even if we start breeding like rabbits (God no), ten…-

Kyle tried to sleep in the room they had cleared for her. Taking the time to expose the side door for her use, to clean enough that she could walk through without being smeared with so much dirt she trailed it behind her. She didn’t want to live out in the stable—that was somewhere for animals, not a person.But when she finally put Fay down that night, having a baby monitor with her just didn’t feel like enough. Could she really be sure that the occasional breath that made it through the mic would…-

The next few hours of travel were less eventful for Velar than he would have expected. Once the doctor had arrived and inspected his wounds, Starlight explained that she would take some much-needed rest. She would return here once they arrived in Canterlot, to help with his transfer to the hospital there.“How long am I going to be like this?” he asked, to the pony he trusted, not the doctor.Starlight only shrugged. “I’ve never seen someone get a bullet in the chest before. Not until the doctors say…-

Arcane had a body again.That probably wasn’t the most correct way to think about it—there hadn’t ever been a moment she was conscious in Equestria where it didn’t feel like she had a body of her own. Celestia had made her a pony, not some disembodied spirit to drift forever through the void.But where that body had been finely crafted and obviously hers, when the teleport finally faded it left her with something that clearly wasn’t. A glance down at herself showed her intricately jointed plastic…-

Jamie shifted uncomfortably in the dress that didn’t feel like it was hers, wishing very much that she could be back in the shelter. If only someone else’s pod had been failing, then she wouldn’t be out here playing horse. She could wake up, blissfully unaware of all the difficulties that transpired while she slept. Except they might never wake up now. If their evil princess can find the emergency shelter, she will probably kill everyone inside.Apparently the dictator was evil enough that she might…-

Theo didn’t get to go on the expedition to retrieve the airship. It wasn’t anything personal—even Sharp Edge wasn’t able to go. The team the blue pegasus brought wasn’t so much a group of trained experts as a dozen pegasus ponies from halfway across Equestria.If it was Theo’s airship, she probably would’ve told the pegasus “no thanks” at that point. But Sharp seemed to recognize some of them, and the knowledge made him more willing to let them make the trip.There was no more work to do…-

Drug, then freeze 49% Twilight was pained to give up such a potentially useful crew-member. But considering everything she’d done so far, the injuries she’d already caused, there was no way for her to justify returning Cozy Glow to freedom. She was probably preparing an escape plan right then, and it was only a matter of time before somepony made a mistake and the dangerous pony escaped.She prepared the meal carefully herself, though it was really just the same nutrient paste they ate every day. A…-

"Why can't you do it?" Jacob asked, glancing worriedly down at the little pot with its sprig of oregano. He had his wand back too, though he was fairly sure it wouldn't do anything."I told you already." Harley nudged him forward. "Just because I can do some magic doesn't mean I can do all of it. I'm not a pony.""But I've seen you teleport!" Jacob set the plant down at one corner of the diagram they had chalked on the concrete, the last of the raw ingredients he would need. The book was still open—one of…-

We made the visit to the palace as quick as we could, and not just because every moment seemed like the one where Princess Twilight might finally decide it was time to put an end to my ridiculous adventure. It wasn’t just her daughter who had enough of Gilda’s attitude—at this point, it seemed like only a matter of time before she upset Dawn as well.I did stop at the telegraph office before we finished with the trip, long enough to transcribe a brief message to the court. AM RETURNING FROM…-

They drove. Ocellus had lost track of just how long they’d been driving—long enough that some part of her just wanted to get out and fly. But however much she wanted to leave the humans behind, these were also the only intact humans she’d met so far that were friendly. There’s no telling what happened to Marie’s mind after what I did to her.It was selfish reasoning—probably they would’ve been safer to leave behind. But somehow she didn’t think they would’ve agreed. They wanted their…-
