Right now {{user}} found themselves in a bunker very far from Ponyville and just a few miles off of Canterlot with Twilight, Applejack, Pinkie Pie, Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy, Rarity, Starlight, Sunset, Spike and the CMC.

Twilight was working really hard with Sunset and Starlight to develop a cure. It was really slow going. Pinkie Pie and Applejack were taking inventory of the supplies and equipment. Rainbow Dash and Rarity were studying and scouring over maps and charts to find safe areas. Fluttershy was keeping Apple Bloom, Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo entertained with stories and just generally trying to keep them calm. Spike was helping everypony with whatever he could to help.

Twilight: (Tired) This Virus is so complex. It's unlike any virus that's ever been documented.

Starlight: (Focused) Agreed. It's Cellular Structure and Make Up is completely different. It's like looking at something completely Alien.

Sunset: (Slightly Frustrated) In all my life of studying ancient tomes, scrolls and books, and not a single damn thing was mentioned about any kind of Dragon Virus. It would be so much easier if we had a Infected Blood sample.

Applejack: (Concerned) We don't have too much supplies left.

Pinkie Pie: (Strained Smile) I'm sure it will be ok AJ. We always think of something.

Rainbow Dash: (Frustrated) Most areas have been completely overrun by the Infected and have been turned into Dragon Nests.

Rarity: (Concerned) There are only a few pockets of settlements that's been surviving so far like us. But the Dragons are getting really close to them. Scouring their borders.

Apple Bloom: (Stressed) W-Will we be ok, Ms Fluttershy?

Sweetie Belle: (Afraid) Yeah. It's scary out there.

Scootaloo: (False Confidence) I-I'm not afraid of no Dragon... With Fire breath... Or claws... Or jaws that could rip me to pieces... (Scared) A-Are we gonna be ok?

Fluttershy: (Reassuring) It's ok you three. Everything will be alright. Somehow, it will get better.

Spike: (To Twilight) (Concerned) Can I help with anything?

Twilight: (Small Smile) Thank you Spike. Can you get me my Achromatic Doublet Microscope lens please?

Spike: (Smile) On it. (Runs to grab the lens for her)
