A company of fools that is messing with technology and things they are ready with.

Though I am more worried about Twilight then the rest of the ponies. I did expect Bishop to respect Twilight to a level similar to Celestia, maybe more so due to her background of a common pony that rose to highest level of government, but this chapter gives it a more creepy version. It feels like he is more concern about her opinion of him then he is of Celestia with the compliments on her beauty and showing off his technology personally to her while getting her excited about his work. It could be just him buttering her up but I get the more forced to be the bride feel then anything, especially with all her friends spread out and separated.

Well good job and keep up the good work.

The calm before the storm...

7411065 Pretty much spot on here. Wait until next chapter. That's where it gets... interestingly fun.

7410743 This is really weird. But you ain't wrong either. Piecing this part together was a little bit of a hassle. But Bishop would relate more to Twilight because they both came from normal lives. And also the fact that Twilight would be the more impressionable of the four since she's still new to this whole gig. (Albeit she isn't going to be swayed so easily even with this title. But he's hit all the right areas. Technology being the biggest weakness to Twilight. And the beauty compliment was added, maybe just for a little bit of fun, or something deeper? I think you've possibly got it all down.

Rest in pieces pony mannequins

7415676 Hah! I thought you weren't counting inanimate objects?

7421023 Only objects that look like pones

I pray that Twi and her friends all make it out. I'm wishin' luck! :)
