@Jade: Hey, jerkface! I just want to tell you that DD is ten times better than MCE! Like, I read the first 13 chapters yesterday, just to be sure, and I stand by my words!
AwesomePony
@AwesomePony: Listen, mare. I wasn't kidding when I told you to leave Jade alone. He's mega excitable and I'm not having you ruffle his feathers, okay? :/
MixaMax
@MixaMax: oh yeah? And who are you? His mother?
AwesomePony
@AwesomePony: No, his future wife! Back down!
MixaMax
@MixaMax: I think you should calm down a bit. I've checked up on Awesome and she's not picking a fight or anything. It's just her nature (and she's a huge Do fan). And knowing Jade I don't think you have anything to worry about.
CodeFilly
@CodeFilly: I'm just saying. Jade is under a lot of stress with exams and real life, so I don't want any additional pestering!
MixaMax
CEO is in hospital! It looks pretty bad. We flew into a wild dragon this morning and that idiot got himself too involved. They're not giving me any info at this point. I know this isn't proper procedure, but if any of you can help in some way, please do!
Fleetfoot
Fleetfoot?!?

Fleetfoot
@Fleetfoot: where is he?
CodeFilly
First army hospital in Cloudsdale. They're moving him to Canterlot within the hour.
Fleetfoot
@Fleetfoot: I'm there in 5!
AwesomePony
Blueblood is on his usual date. I've sent a messenger to let him l know.
@Fleetfoot: What exactly happened? I thought you were on standard patrols today? There weren't supposed to be migrating dragons for another five years.
Luna
@Luna: Message sent. I'll try to get DarkSparkle, but she's off doing dangerous stuff of her own :( I can teleport there and try to help. My healing magic is a bit rusty, but I'm sure I can do something.
TrueSparkle
@TrueSparkle: You're not going anywhere in your condition!
@Luna: I'm telling Celestia! You make sure that there's a hospital ready for him. And try to find out his condition.
TheRealLuna
@Fleetfoot: I'm at the hospital. They won't let me inside. :/ Who's CEO anyway?
AwesomePony
*yay* *yay*! Lyra and Bob won't be online for the next few days. I'll call my parents in Canterlot. Maybe they know some doctors that could help.
Great start of the day :( That idiot CEO! :/
@AwesomePony: It's Soarin.
MixaMax
What?!? Soarin is on the site?!
They still won't let me in :/ Fleetfoot, where are you?
AwesomePony
No need to worry, everypony. I'm with CEOWitch and he's doing fine. He had a shattered wing and cracked rib cage...and some other injuries, but they're all healed now.
Brush
Huh? How did you get in the intensive care unit?!
Fleetfoot
@Brush: What the hay?! You flew all the way there?!
MixaMax
@MixaMax, @Fleetfoot: I had help. CEO is resting comfortably now, but I'll stay with him until he wakes up.
@Luna: I don't think the Canterlot hospital will be necessary. Sorry.
Brush
@all: Next time you ruin my date, you better give more more facts than "CEO is dying!" I swear, I almost lost it!
@Brush: I don't care what you did. As long as he's okay that good enough for me. Stay there until I arrive!
@Fleetfoot: I want to know exactly what happened! This was supposed to be a routine flight! You better get a report ready! (I'm not coming alone.)
Everyone else, please don't spam the channel for the next hour. I don't care how pissed the army is, if there's any news on the subject post it directly!
-Blueblood
Luna
@Fleetfoot: Is my wife okay? She was on CEO's wing.
Lurkling
@Luna: Yes, sir! I'll be ready.
@Lurkling: She's fine, don't worry. If it wasn't for her that idiot would be worse.
Fleetfoot
@Fleetfoot: I still can't get through. :(
AwesomePony
I'll look into this.
@Fleetfoot: tell me where exactly it happened.
InItForTheShipping
@InItForTheShipping: I don't think that's a good idea. Dragons are very territorial. If they were upset by something entering their domain, they will be upset at everything else.
LightSparkle
*yay*! I know I could have helped! :/ Glad that everything is okay.
TrueSparkle
@all: I don't want to be a buzzkill, but are the rest of the wing okay? Just because nopony is in critical condition doesn't mean there weren't minor injuries.
MightyDragon
@MightyDragon: A few I see are a bit shaken, but they seem okay. Soarin dived at the dragon head on. Must have been an awesome move. Nopony has any idea where the dragon came from. It's as if it just appeared.
AwesomePony
Portals? (We're all thinking it.)
PrinceEric
@Luna: I can investigate if I'm allowed.
LightSparkle
@LightSparkle: No. A team of scientists is being assembled. Also, Princess Celestia will look into the matter herself.
Luna
This is... I don't know what to say. I mean I know that life for a Wonderbolt is dangerous, but to nearly die just like that, no explanation...
MasterOfThisAstra
@MasterOfThisAstra: Don't you panic, now. Things happen. Everything turned out fine. :) CEOWitch is okay, the dragon is gone, and there's a team that will make sure that this won't happen again.
Brush
I'll be locking the thread. Luna, Fleetfoot, and Brush temporarily have full mod powers. Everypony else, PM me with any relevant news on the matter. MCE discussion are to continue in the other sections as normal.
Personal request, if I may, please avoid starting any "This is the Everprince" theory threads. What CEOWitch experienced is a serious matter and should not be spoken of lightly, regardless the circumstances.
Thank you for your attention.
The TechNightling
This is serious and troubling. The Alicorns will talk to Ember about this incident of course but I doubt that she can shed light on the dragon's reasons for being there.
This was exciting!
Oh my. Aside from the drama, this says a lot about the capabilities of various site members. I may need to question some long-held assumptions.
How does Fluttershy get in while AwesomePony doesn't?? Did she sneak in??
AwesomePony might not be Dash...
Who might TrueSparkle be? It surely isn't Twilight... Twinkleshine??
8102231
TrueSparkle was revealed to be Starlight confirmed on the Discord QnA.
8102116 If it was a dragon...
8102132 You just like CEO, don't you? :P
8102165 ...what assumptions?! :)
8102231
8102339
Dream speaks true. And there's a logical explanation for everything ;)
8098834 :P
8102388
Oh right. Okay, so that spreadsheet's for official reveals on here and in Meet Up only.
Interesting that TrueSparkle knows healing magic?
Oh, okay then.
8102379 Yes
This was a very busy chapter, with a lot of little things going on that we were distracted from both by the big picture, and by being relieved from the drama for a day, Good one, once again, Lise.
Reconstructing ( -ish) from what we know. A Wonderbolt patrol seemed to stumble into a Friendship mission involving at least Brush and DarkSparkle, but not AwesomePony. Since it was a "wild" dragon maybe we can turn diplomacy turned into war back into diplomacy. Here's hoping.
Since this quote comes from TheRealLuna that's a boffed character guess for me.
True's Condition?! What the hell, Lise?!!!
??? Hey, has anyone posted a creditable guess about Lurkling? Since he and his wife were expected at the meet up I hope this gets revealed in the next chapter there.
Biggest disapointment -
It took me a second to realize that Luna was posting this for Blue Blood. He was on a date, of course, and Luna was at work (also, of course). As an admitted non-shipper (I may have mentioned this before) I still think it would be nice to hear that Luna was on a date (Hint, hint, Lise).
Light isn't allowed to investigate portals? In this universe is she not trusted by Celestia?
And again MOTA has trouble dealing. He has to know, even if Brush could set aside her commitment to the Element that chose her, if he asked her to do so she should ditch his tail immediately just for asking.
Lots of good stuff here.
What is a regular date for Blueblood? All the dates we've seen from him so far were a disaster. To the point where I expect Auntie Celestia to worry he's never going to find a nice pony to settle down with.
I guess Discord healed Soarin.
8102426 :) I'b be surprised if she didn't. :)
8102498 :D One day I might make a change by comments story, but not this one :)
8102942 Pffft!
8103158 Wow! This is larger than the actual chapter!
Only thing I'd like to clarify is that there was no Friendship problem :)
And yes, Mota freaking out is a thing :)
8103360 Blueblood has been going steady for a few years now :)
8105053 :D That is a valid possibility :)
