Day 31

Starlight was able to stop by again today! Nopony expected her, so she was confused when the only ponies she saw in the tunnel were me and a couple other guards. She asked me where everypony else went, and I made up the excuse that they were out in the Everfree on a scouting mission. She didn't entirely believe me I think, but it was good enough for her. Anyway, she said that she was sent to Ponyville by Daybreaker to get some apples from Sweet Apple Acres for a cake, even though that was absolutely not in her job description. That means that she can't stay for very long, though at the very least, she knows that one of the hatches leading into these tunnels is really close to Sweet Apple Acres anyway.

So, I asked her how things were going. Starlight said that things have sorta settled down now that Daybreaker's beamed anypony brave enough to dare speaking out against her. She knows that we need to launch an offensive soon, though we're still far from prepared. How the heck are we going to be able to resist against somepony who can call down death lasers out of the sky? I also asked about Whirlwind. Starlight said that she didn't have the chance to ask about him or meet with him. All she knows is that the whirlybirds he's been designing have been getting bigger and faster with each redesign. If we could maybe steal him, or at least some of his designs, it'd really give us a leg up in this upcoming war.
