4th Sun: When Life Gives you Darkness, be a Ninja. [Visual, obvs locked from Zetta and his allies]

[pirateponyprincess]

[The scrolls have been very active these past few days, and for good reason. It's time for everypony's favorite princess-turned-pirate to make her own contribution.]

In times like these, one of my favorite things to do is to use my opponents' greatest advantages against them. For instance, tricking a faction's dreadnaught flagship into firing its main cannon in the direction of its fleet, or feeding a vast and connected information network a small web of well-placed lies. It can be rather effective if used correctly.

Our opponent's greatest strength right now? I'm sure you can guess.

[At this moment, the ever-lengthening eclipse for the day starts, passing over Celestia and rendering everything on the screen black. Yes, she did in fact time this post to achieve exactly that effect.]

I require some assistance in taking advantage of this. I wish to do some covert information gathering in enemy territory, and possibly get some clues as to how this was achieved. Those planets were moved somehow, and I am willing to bet they can be moved again.

Who wants to play in the dark?

If you require a distraction, I would not be adverse to coordinating our attacks.

That would be appreciated. I will be looking through the ruins he has set up as his base of operations. I could use anything that draws his forces away from there.

I am unsure of how well I will be able to draw away his forces given the circumstances, but I can assure you I can divert his attentions in particular.

Not dealing with Zetta himself will be good enough for me. A small group of us should be able to handle any minion resistance that may arise.

That only leaves the traps. I have to wonder how many are still active in that old castle.

Pinkie Pie may be of help for that information, as would Twilight Sparkle of Mayfield. Both of them were formerly frequent visitors to that demesne.

I do know that the trapdoor slide continues to be functional, as does the entrance to the reading chambers.

I shall try and get in contact with them, in that case. As fun as the surprise could be, I would rather not go in blind.
