Our plan worked. The creature is on the ice, where it belongs. I’ve ordered what’s left of the crew to fly us back to the camp. We need to gather those things which are left behind. Any bit of evidence and research material we can take back to the Crystal City might prove instrumental in understanding what happened here. For the sake of not letting it happen again, we must go back, if only briefly.

The crew aren’t happy. I think they’ll mutiny if I push them any further. But I must see this through properly.

We locked all the crystal ponies in the cargo hold. They remain

They remain.

At least they are passive. Nopony would touch them, so we used lassos and the butts of spears to guide them into position. I pray to Celestia, Luna, Cadance, Twilight, even Discord, that something might be done to save them.
