[BSE] Food is an issue, Pinkie Pie plays Eclair Emergency.

[WylieCIDER CIDER CIDER]

Welp. Now we're waiting on whatever deep magic Discord can pull off, else I'm moving to FTL for butan pres time.

(Possible Discord move: Go to Ponyville, look at two crisis cards, hope one has +1 jump prep?)

[ToastGhostThe smuggest damn horse.]

The good news is that weapons control is all cleaned up! The bad news is that those weren't jammy dodgers, they were detonators. But the really bad news is you still don't have your cutie marks!

Weapons Control repaired! This looks like the most Equestria will ever be repaired, because really, who ever repairs the Princess's Quarters?

No crisis! It is now Discord's turn.

##move to FTL control

And now, the end is here
And so I face the final curtain
My friends, I'll say it clear
I'll state my plan, of which I'm certain
I've lived a life that's fake
I traveled each and ev'ry flyway
And more, much more than this, I did it my way

Regrets, I've had a few
But then again, too few to mention
I did what I had to do and saw it through without exemption
I planned each charted course, each careful step along the flyway
And more, much more than this, I did it my way

Yes, there were times, I'm sure you known
When I had been turned to stone
But through it all, when there was strife
I reanimated back to life!
I faced it all and I stood tall and did it my way

I've loved, I've laughed and cried
I've had my fill, my share of losing
And now, as tears subside, I find it all so amusing
To think I did all that
And may I say, not in a shy way,
"Oh, no, oh, no, not me, I did it my way"

For what is a pony, what has he got?
If not himself, then he has naught
To say the things he truly feels and not the words of one who kneels
The record shows I took the blows and did it my way!

Yes, it was my way!

Couldn't. I'd end my infiltration and be stuck in the rez ship (with all my cards) instead of working to activate Ponyville if I had gone that route.

Oh you gotta be kiddin' me.

[WylieCIDER CIDER CIDER]

On the bright side (and I'm reaching like a mofo here) there probably won't be three Special Conditions during this jump phase making our lives miserable.

Also, I've been in the Hangar Deck since my last turn.

Well, Discord died like he lived.

Leaving you all trapped in a giant cloud of smelly gas.

Well, on the bright side, both Zecora and DT&SS have burned through their SCCs. So the worst they can do now is try and dig through the Crisis deck for bad stuff to do to us. If someone else is willing to toss an XO my way, I can finally try and get out of here and head over to my office on Canterlot One and maybe farm up some more Quorumy goodness when my turn rolls around.

[HyliusWhat? Heroes are cool too.]

Yes, now would be an excellent time to get Cadance out of the brig. You know, before the game ends.

[WylieCIDER CIDER CIDER]

We'd have to fix up Alicorn CIC first, though.

I just buried two crappy Crisis cards, and left one slightly-less-crappy one on top.

Remember what I said about the fleet being peaceful? Well, it's never a dull moment on the Equestria, and somepony's broken into the research lab with a vest of homemade edible explosives! Pastry explosive might not be as deadly as its plastic cousin, but it still leaves quite a mess. Can someone save Fluttershy before she ends up with wads of dough tangled in her mane?

Zecoralon, it was a good gambit, but those four-thousand civilian distress beacons are all obviously fake. While the Big Book of Equestria Rules says to check out every distress signal, it also says to first and foremost not do anything stupid. And wasting fuel to check all those beacons? That'd be stupid.

Fits would you be opposed to being brought out of the brig slightly ahead of schedule? Or I could get Fluttershy out of sickbay (that's legal, right?) to avoid loss of draw. Or I could go fix stuff on Alicorn I guess.

Really it's kinda open-ended.

Completely legal, provided you have the XO!

[HyliusWhat? Heroes are cool too.]

Thought so! It just seemed like one of those "breaks the game so it can't be legit" things.

Granted this is about the third or fourth time I've thought that in this game alone.

[W.T. FitsSpoilers, you say? Well, in that case, I suppose I should avert my eyes.]

I would not be averse to attempting to leave the brig early. As for getting Fluttershy out of Sickbay, I can handle that.
