Twilight was about to close the school for the night when her office phone rang. The display said: "Priority 1 call, Crystal Empire". Twilight knew that if a call was priority one, it was extremely important. Without hesitating, she put on the headset, and pressed "TALK".

"Hello, this is Twilight Sparkle.", she answered.

"Aunt Twilight, this is Flurry Heart. I noticed something strange on one of the screens that Mom uses for monitoring vital signs on those of us in the fleet. Something is up with Neighsay's brain waves. Captain Brandon is on his way to you with me on his helicopter. See you in the morning.", said her niece, who had just recently been recruited to the Christian Fleet.

The next morning, Twilight heard Brandon's helicopter touching down, and opened the door so they could come in to stay out of the rain that was coming. They had looks of worry on their faces and Flurry carried a device that was synced to the Lemurian Star's monitors on the crew and allies.

"Gee whiz!!", yelped Twilight when she looked at the monitor, "His stats are off the charts."

"You said it Twilight, I am nervous that he might be up to something.", replied Brandon, "Celestia has given me the coordinates for the ERS HQ. Colin and I will be headed there to figure out what he is doing. Cadence told Flurry Heart that she could stay with you over the weekend, but we have also asked her to cover us when we go in the base."

Brandon and Colin began to gear up for their cautious trip to the inoperative ERS headquaters, not knowing what they would find.
