Passed out in my lab. Timber woke me up. My phone had dozens of missed calls. 

The situation has gotten out of hand. 

The plants are breaking up through the ground now. They... they're hunting. There's no other word for it. They're hunting. Most of Applejack's livestock are gone. So is her dog. Drained. I've examined some of the corpses. The husks. Each one tested positive for an anesthetics agent no one's ever seen before. These plants break through the ground under their prey and inject them with this poison with a touch. It's fast acting. Scarily fast acting. AJ said she saw one of her cows just standing there, chewing cud, with her legs completely covered in vines.  

She figures Winona must have been asleep in the yard when they got her. 

This shows a level of intelligence, something I hadn't realistically considered. Something I didn't want to consider.  

I... I don't know how to fix this. If I could just figure out the pattern. Figure out how they escaped from the quarantine zone. Figure out their direction of spread. 

I've asked Sunset to write to her pony friends for help. I'll take one magical fix-all with all the trimmings, thank you very much. 

I need to lie down, Journal.  

I'm so tired.
