Sixth Starfall [Visual, NO ZEDDS OR ZETTAS ALLOWED filter]

[Flare pulls up her scroll, expression a bit more steeled than it has been in a while. Whatever she's discussing, it seems serious.]

So. By now, it should be obvious that the crap with that Mirror Celestia ain't the last of the troubles we got. I dunno who the buck this "Zedd" guy is, aside from a flaming load of manure, but I know we got enough fighters - native and newpony alike - that he doesn't have any more of a chance than Chrysalis did. Or Mirror Celestia did.

That's not good enough, though. There were ponies hurt in those fights, and one even killed, if th'news wasn't lyin' about that. It could happen again here. Will happen again here if we let it.

So we can't let it.

I'm not a front-liner; my talents are best put to use on the defensive. I'm issuing a call to arms - we need an evac plan here for the noncombatants, a place where they KNOW they can go to be safe in case of something tryin' to wreck the town. Ideally we'd have something like that in all the cities in Equestria, but most of 'em don't have to worry about the added population that Ponyville does so any Celestia-approved plans there'll likely still work.

[Realizing she's digressing, she shakes her head and sighs, collecting her thoughts before continuing on.]

Problem is, we need somewhere big. We had to split forces between the library and the night market's dojo when that mirror thing went down, so we need to figure out a way to either make something bigger, or there needs to be more ponies like me able and willing to keep the civvies safe.

Any thoughts, citizens of Ponyville?

[Of course, the expression she wears makes it clear that it was less a request and more a rallying call.]

Nope, didn't have a clue. I dunno how everyone would feel about it, but I'm sure if we got some dry areas and cleaned them up and added some reinforcements they'd be perfect!

Exactly! Plus, we can add extra things to make it difficult for anyone to get through if they even thought to invade the sewers!

It's not a half bad plan. And it'd be easier to convert a portion of it into a bunker than creating a new one, and it'd be easy to access for other ponies. It'd be faster for them to get to, too, I imagine.

Yeah. Its something I did back home, so it wouldn't be too hard to set out what needs to be done. And with the ponies and magic put in it could get knocked out in a day.

...Maybe even a half-day is somepony manages to start a sing-along with it.

[At this, he paused.]

Have you ever noticed that singing seems to motivate us to get stuff done faster?

[He winces a little at the mention of singing.]

Yyyyeaah. Yeah I have. It also make explaining things easier...

[He's still slightly worried he traumatized that poor dragon.]

And they can be way catchy. Earworms even.
