Starship Ponyville: Homeward

XIV. Asphyxiated

“Alright. See ya, Starlight.”

“Take care, Satyrn.”

Princess Celestia finished eavesdropping on the conversation as she glazed over the various monitors in her office. She switched the computer off, and made her way to her desk. She dialed a few numbers on her communicator. Luna picked up.

“Sister?”

“Luna, they’ve seen Spectre.”

“Who is ‘they’?”

“Satyrn and her friends.”

“Are you certain…?”

“Yes, sister. He was the one who led the attack on CX38. It seems that he’s shown himself to Starlight Glimmer too.”

“Starlight? Why would he do that?”

“I am unsure, but Satyrn has been using an unencrypted connection to contact Starlight back in Equestria. Did you know about this?”

“No…” Luna paused. “I’m… sorry, I did not realize that’s why she was going to Statera.”

“We must leave this planet. We’ll fall back to Tyr.”

“Sister, do you think that is wise? If Equestria finds out what you have done—”

“It is the safest option we have right now. If Spectre has been tracking their transmissions—” Suddenly, the walls of her office began to rattle. Celestia’s eyes widened madly, as her heart began to race, “We’ll convene later. Goodbye.”

“Sister—” Luna was cut off as Celestia swiped the communicator from desk. She rushed out of her office and looked out the bridge window.

“Damn it!” she shouted.
