Break over! Time for recap!
Previously on IAIMAY
‘Memory is the key’ means there’s only one thing with the memories needed to bring down the Meta and Project Freelancer,” Tex explained to the gathered ponies and blue soldiers. The group was standing in front of the derelict dropship under the stars. “The Alpha. We need to unlock it.”
Twilight took a step forward. “The Alpha? But, wouldn’t that mean… going back?”
Tex nodded, “Yes. Back to Repertum. Back to Freelancer Command.”
When the three Reds looked at Doc quizzically, the medic continued, “When I was last at Command, I ran into Tucker and Donut. Apparently they’ve been sent to some alien dig site. Very secretive. Couldn’t talk to me about it.”
Tex turned to Twilight. “Can you teleport us all there using the ship’s slipspace device and the origin coordinates?”
It shouldn’t have been too hard. It was exactly how Twilight got back to Equestria. Still, it was significantly harder when she was using her magic on more than just herself.
“Not all at once,” Twilight answered. “I can teleport us all in groups of three, maybe four at a time.”
Looking back at the ship, Simmons saw Twilight and one of her pony friends looking at him from the cockpit. They were there only for a few moments before disappearing from view. A thought occurred to Simmons at that moment and he turned to address Grif.
“Do you think we should have told them about the malfunction with the nav computer?”
Sand. Every direction Rainbow Dash looked held nothing but an ocean of sand as far as she could see. It was what - or who - Rainbow Dash couldn’t see that made her panic.
“Hello??? Twilight?” Rainbow called out. “AJ? Pinkie? Fluttershy? Anypony?”
Beside her, Rarity gave a few dainty coughs as she opened her mouth and got some sand inside it
“This is going to be the best not-snow angel of all time!”
The pair of ponies looked over to the source of the goofy male voice. Caboose was lying on his back, arms and legs spread out as he waved them back and forth in the sand.
Rainbow Dash gave an exasperated sigh, “Well, this should be fun…”
With a shiver, Applejack wished she’d brought warmer attire. Twilight didn’t mention just how cold the alien planet was! Applejack’s vision was filled entirely by white. She stood in the middle of a wide, expansive field of snow under a blue sky, but big gray clouds were rapidly gathering. Rocky, snow covered mountains rose up along the horizon and little flakes of the white stuff fluttered down all around her.
“I got one!” Pinkie’s high-pitched voice caused Applejack to glance in her direction. The pink party pony had her head tilted to the sky and her tongue extended as she tried to catch snowflakes on it.
Applejack took another anxious look around at her surroundings. “Pinkie? You ain’t seen Twi an’ the others around, have you?”
“Nope!” Pinkie cheerfully proclaimed as she returned to her snowflake hunt.
Beside Applejack, Church groaned, “Crap… not again…”
Wait, in which chapter was the part with Doc and the Reds?
Also, Heck yeah it's back! Comencing reading.
2433014 That would be Doc's brief scene with them in Zanzibar in the Act 1 Finale.
And yes, it's good to be back in business!
