 * The lab rat now begins to suffer the full effects of its exposure. After convulsing a final time, its eyes go red, and it froths at the mouth. The rat leaps at the bars of the cage and chomps wildly, scratching at its prison until its own blood is smeared across the metal.*

Long-Face: Concern for allies is banished, and pain no longer matters... The exposed are thrown into a craze for the nearest victim, and this craze is insatiable. There is, as you may have guessed, only one way out without an antidote...

* Glaive allows Shimmerspark to shower in his bathroom, and when she's done, he teaches the filly how to brush her mane, tail, and coat.*

Glaive: There, doesn't that feel better?

Shimmerspark: A lot better...

Glaive: Mhm. You've shed that guttersnipe look.

* After a couple more minutes of watching Shimmerspark and Nycto play, Glaive speaks again.*

Glaive: ...Hey, Shimmerspark, you wanna sit outside for a while? I think you should find out where you are.

Shimmerspark: Oh? Okay, sure...

* ''Glaive leads Shimmerspark out into the hallway, where the filly goes slack-jawed at the neatness and luxury of the place. She has to catch herself and keep up by Glaive's side.''*

Shimmerspark: ...Do you live here, Glaive?

Glaive: I do now, yes.

Shimmerspark: You must be really rich.

Glaive: No... I don't own this place. It's... the headquarters for the Power Ponies.

* Shimmerspark gasps.*

Shimmerspark: You're a Power Pony?

Glaive: Yeah... I am. I haven't been for very long, though. Just a few months.

Shimmerspark: This must be that big floating fortress that I've seen over the city... Right? I think I've heard ponies talking about this place.

Glaive: That's right...

Shimmerspark: ...You're not the kind of hero I expected, Glaive.

Glaive: No, I guess not.
