This story is so freakin' awesome, it deserves way more than 9 likes! You manage to keep the tension, emotional responses and mystery to a maximum. I also have no idea who's the Thing in disguise but my money's kind of on Fluttershy (it was on Rainbow Dash originally but then I read that bit at the end and it gave me doubts - see this is what I was talking about when I said you work in the mystery well, you glorious bastard!). Keep up the good work Mr Author, I have the utmost faith in you...besides, it can't be worse than the 2011 prequel can it?
PS. Fingers crossed for somepony's head detaching, growing eight legs and eyestalks, and trying to scuttle off
Rarity and AJ are my prime suspects of being infected, but I can't tell which one it is. Twilight is definitely not infected, because she wants to find a way to identify the Thing (also, I dont think that the Thing would waste energy on crying while being alone in the lab), plus she was alone with Fluttershy and nothing happened between them, which also strikes Fluttershy off from my suspect list. Neither Rainbow Dash or Sweetie are infected, because of the 'kitchen scene' - they were alone in the room and nothing really happened. I also don't think that Apple Bloom is infected, because the CMC were together all the time(I guess?) and the monster couldnt freely infect her without being caught red handed by Sweetie. Edit: Rarity is off the list too. Why would she scream hysterically when she saw Scootaloo doing this and that with Spike, if she were infected herself? That leaves only our cute orange apple farmer... poor Apple Bloom
I have always wondered... Does the Thing create a perfect imitation of the brain and gives it a separate away-ness that can be 'switched off' at will... Like an auto pilot, yet the auto pilot is self aware. Horrific thought.
Who could be infected? The other two crusaders are suspect because of the time spent with the Scootaloo imitation. I've also got my eye on Rainbow and Fluttershy. While Twilight was in the lab, they were both alone for a while. If either one were infected, it would be all to easy to attack the other one.
This is an awsome cross-over and I can't wait to finish this...
As of right now my top three suspects to be the Thing are
1) Pinkie Pie 2) As much as I hate the Idea, Applejack 3) Rarity
My reasoning is has been alone the most in this story so far so that easily makes her the top suspect. and haven't been mentioned being alone with anypony yet and seeing how & were alone at the end of the chapter , was alone with and nothing happened, and was with and under constant watch, that leaves as the top suspects.
7562317 It was unnecessary to say the least. We didn't need to know what happened to the Norwegian base; the first film pretty much told us what we needed to know. The prequel lacked the same suspense that the original had plus the CGI was bad. It wasn't 100% bad but it wasn't really good either, more so-so, take-it-or-leave-it quality.

Gah, I'm gonna regret reading it before sleep.
