Danger Close makes significant improvements into the targeting mechanism of the man-portable Rainboom cannon. He works some enchanted optics into the housing, gives it a better grip, and so on. He also develops integration with Radiant Industries' armor systems. Treat it as a +2 to the attack roll.

Starry Gaze is very quiet and subdued for the next month or so. You can barely get anything out of her, maybe like a "Hello," "Good-Bye," and "No, everything is fine." After a month, the tears come. The Dreamstone Altar did a number on her, as she obviously experienced subjective time at a faster rate while inside. She saw the "truth" of Phyrexia, and the entire plan for Equestria, and other worlds. She doesn't want to talk about it. She also spoke with the Overpriest. She doesn't want to talk much about it, but she's very pessimistic. She mopes around the palace, but shies away from military talk. She has become less gregarious and is not really interested in continuing her studies with Radiant Pine.

After getting in touch with various research group and collaborating with the four Mages' Guilds (EQC, Manaspire, Unicornia, and the Crystal Empire) Radiant Pine's team figures it out. It required principles of bending time and space, and frankly, you're not sure whether you can construct them. You can't find a power source big enough, and you're not sure what to use for fuel.

Crazy's cult finds the location of the seal in the Dragon Empire. They seize it. The Adventurer's Guild is also flourishing, as they take care of the mass migrations of various feral monsters that are being displaced from the warrens by the moving Phyrexians. They also have some low success with hunting Phyrexians, but not to a great extent. Usually they just get killed or converted. The Silver dragon has an existential crisis and throws himself at every Phyrexian incursion that he can detect, remembering his origins.

The location of Queen Chitina's lairs has been confirmed. You have three locations in Equestria that she herself is shuttling between by doing a polymorph into some kind of fast flyer - usually a chichimech or something along those lines. She is also currently working on building a magic circle network that would circumvent the teleport interdictor. Her three locations are Breeding, Research, and Staging.

As far as alliances and such go, things are tranquil. Since you've been exposing the Phyrexian invasion and actually brought back proof, the nations of the world are putting in an effort. So, yes, you're basically Fantasy X-COM. In any case, the recent alliance made with Unicornia has caused an influx of unicorns entering into Equestria (and causing a market collapse of the architecture business). The Pegasi have 100% moved to Equestria. Pegasopolis as a nation exists no more and is now part of Equestria. Earth pony immigration has picked up a little, but only a couple of percent. You think they're still stubbornly holding on. Relations with the griffons are flourishing, due to the amount of gold flowing into Griffonstan via merc contracts. Dragon relations are cordial, and there are discussions about having some dragons establishing lairs in Equestria. Other races are contributing, but not as important. They're further away and dealing with stuff on their own (OOC: Don't worry about them. I'm not gonna have the donkeys or reindeer all converted). The Crystal Empire is doing magic trading with Equestria and talks of a formal
protectorate system are being carried out. On the authority of Amelia, Guiding Glave and Moonlight Dawn are released and exiled from Equestria, as are most of their followers, ending up in the Crystal Empire, under conditions established by Amelia. Due to the nature of the Phyrexian threat, the nobles willingly tax themselves heavily and give their retinues to the fight.
