(After she's certain Orbit's conversation on the communicator has ended, Freeheart takes a calming breath and enters the meeting room to join him and Serra.)

Freeheart: Uh... H-Hey, Captain.

(As he updates Parlys' status to "LOCATION UNKNOWN", Orbit turns to Freeheart.)

Orbit: Hello, Nurse. Something I can help you with?

Freeheart: I... overheard that Parlys escaped?

Orbit: *sigh* Unfortunately. I need to contact the princesses right away.

Freheart: I see... Maybe this is a bad time then...

Orbit: Is something wrong?

Freeheart: Well... now that Parlys is on the loose, I imagine we'll be pretty busy tracking him down soon... but...

Orbit: ...

Freeheart: ...I was hoping to... have a bit of leave to visit my folks in Las Pegasus.

Orbit: Now?

Freeheart: I'm sorry! I know it's really short notice!

Orbit: N-No, that's not what I... I mean, if I remember correctly, your family still doesn't know you're a Power Pony.

Freeheart: Oh. ...Yeah.

Orbit: Are you sure?

Freeheart: *sigh* Well, I would've had to tell them eventually. It's been a few months since I went public as "Decibelle" -- I'd be surprised if they don't already know.

Orbit: ...Alright. Permission granted.

Freeheart: R-Really...?!

Orbit: Mm-hmm. It's important to keep close family ties, even in these trying times. Take a few days, Freeheart. I insist.

Freeheart: Thank you, Captain Orbit! You're the greatest!

(As Freeheart trots happily out of the room, Orbit turns to face a map of Equestria, focusing on three blips at Ponyville, Canterlot, and the Crystal Empire.)

Orbit: Now then... Where to begin?
