Three weeks after Neighsay completed his acquaintances, he and his followers were prepared to start. They set up their outpost, and designed a logo for the building. The base was bulit inside a mountain, with a satelite hook-up so they could get a global radar for all of their rescues. Then, other rescue ponies came by and put them through arduous, but rewarding training. They geared up with all sorts of equipment. Such as: life-jackets, first-aid supplies, tether lines for securing themselves to shore when doing a water rescue, clothes for helping the victim stay warm, thermoses for holding water, and more.
The training was done, using dummies with weights attached, and in pools to simulate water. Twilight herself, supervised the training to make sure everything was working correctly. Rainbow Dash inspected their outpost to help them keep an inventory of their equipment. Fluttershy helped them test the first-aid supplies, ensuring it all worked properly. Rarity tested the radios to confirm they would work from any given distance. She also helped install radio towers in different parts of Equestria, testing each to make sure they worked right. Celestia stood by in Canterlot, waiting for the results.
