"G-Gamma… Stable 34… We've gotta go! I'VE gotta go!!" The pip-buck latched on my foreleg continued to play out the distress signal as I dropped my saddlebags to the floor, the pair of rifles on the battle saddle swinging about as I sifted through and grabbed all the healing potions and packs of radaway I could find. I could feel my heart pounding in my chest and ears — my Stable, my home, it was being flooded with radiation. And I was all the way here. Sliding my re-organized saddlebags back on with the pile of junk left on the floor, I passed Minty an exasperated glance, panting. My sight was starting to get a bit blurry as I blinked, taking a short breath and sliding Gamma's pistol into it's holster. "Get all the healing potions and Radaway you can find, catch up to me on the road back to Emerald Ridge. I…" Minty nodded, lifting a hoof up and resting it on my shoulder.

"It's going to be alright, Twintails. Go and help your Stable." He flashed me a quick smile — comforting, to say the least — and levitated off his saddlebags. I turned and bolted out the door of the room, just in time to nearly plow over Bloodbeak. The city seemed as empty as ever as I darted out through it, light from the arcane lanterns casting long shadows over the snowy streets as I felt my hooves leave the frozen ground, wings slicing through the freezing air. I hardly even noticed how high I'd gotten above the roads and buildings, having a good deal of clearance between myself and the Mooscow Wall as my wings carried me ever faster and faster, running off of some limitless energy as my mind focused in on the road ahead, the one we'd gone down so long ago, when I first stepped out and came across the crazy unicorn who'd been firing that goop-stuff at me. What'd I think it was again? Kind of what Mr Skritters would have looked like after being caught and blasted with all that radia-…

Snapping my wings backwards, I sped on through the early dawn, the sub-zero temperatures freezing the tears that were blown back in my mane. I had to get to my Stable.

I had to get to Gamma Ray.
