“Well, ‘Sarah’, I’m offended.” The alien put one of its strange paws on its chest, glaring down at her. “You think I’d ask you to betray your new friends? Far from it. I want you to help their cause. Just… more directly than they are. My servant Lucky Break is not half as daring or half as clever as I need her to be. She’s so worried about the Alicorn that Celestia damaged that she can’t see the long-term. We’re going to help her, you and me. We’re going to do what she refuses to do. Push the brave cause of exploration forward, so to speak.”
