Nopony saw the changeling slink away. Quite frankly, no pony had even cared enough when they noticed the empty seat when they fell in the chair when they started laughing and fell over.  Thesis had meandered elsewhere to distance from the eavesdropping eyes and ears in the dining room.  You can't make a secret call without these things hindering you.  

When she saw no pony around and heard nothing but silence, she reached inside her jacket and pulled out a ring that could fit on a grown stallion's leg.  Feeling the sides of the ring, she found the correct button out of the twelve others.  After clicking it, a hologram of Xavier Priston popped up.  

“This better be important,” Xavier said angrily.

“You’re not gonna believe this.  He’s still alive.” Thesis blurted.

“Who do you mean?”

“Aegis.  He’s still alive.”

Xavier said nothing.  He stared at Thesis, thinking she was playing some kind of joke on him.  This certainly wasn’t the first time this had happened.  “If you think this is funny-”

“No really.  He’s alive... But he’s changed.”

“Specify.”

“The project worked.  He’s the Quantum Stallion now.’

“...Get back here as fast as you can.  Bring the data you’ve gathered and meet Hoodwink and I back at the facility.  We have a plan to carry out.”

“Are you sure that we want to do it this quickly.  It won’t work.”

“I’m sure.  Now get to the facility.  Now!”
