8th Spear ↟, A Call to Arms! (Visual/Action; Privated FROM Harvester/Chrysalis)

[neighfeni]

  [Shortly after one Queen Chrysalis 'graces' the journals with her visage, and a Pinkie Pie shoots off her message from the inside of a cocoon, an urgent visual message appears on the journals. One blue mare in armor and deep blue cloak can be seen with a few downed changelings behind her, and unlike normal, her countenance is anything but cheery, or even anxious. After checking to make sure the message is going out, she starts, her voice intense and determined. Have one relentless battlemaiden, Ponyville.]

Attention! This is Nephenee of Crimea, bringin' news from the battlefield!

Y'all just heard Pinkie and Chrysalis, right? Them Changelin's got a bunch of our friends, and they're sappin' 'em. We need to get rid of this threat, an' fast! We can't kill 'em, they're innocents, but we can knock 'em out, rescue our friends, and hold her 'til Princess Celestia gets here! But Ah can't do none of this by myself, so Ah ask to see who will help rescue and-or take out this so called 'Queen'! 

[Another changeling charges her, and she hangs the scroll in midair long enough to spinkick it off screen,]

Please contact me as soon as y'all can! We need folks for that an' we need folks who know a strategy for beatin' these jerks! Any help will be appreciated!

[In short, reconnaissance and fighters, and a battle plan beyond that.]

To those captured, help is on the way as soon as we can! Don't lose hope!

[She quickly ends the feed as more charge. Dang, are these things everywhere?!]

[As for those nearby, the Sentinel is fighting off a bunch of these things by herself, but with their sapping, she probably could use some assistance.]

[Private to Princess Celestia]

Your Highness, Ah'm aware Mako has contacted you about the situation. If we can subdue her ere your return, how shall we hold her until you can get here?
 [After talking to Celestia:]

Does anypony here know binding magic?!

While I don't condone harming my brethren, Chrysalis is an entirely different story.

Aim to kill.

I don't know if she's grown as powerful as Nightmare Moon was... but there should be no reasons to hold back, at all, against her.

[Nephenee's rather straight face flashes surprise at the revelation for a second, then goes back into battlemode.]

Ah'm trained for such, but Ah must see what the Princess dictates. Ah'd rather see her punished instead of killed.

[Because the bucking 'queen' is hurting her friends. Slamming the Berserk/Tranquil Fury button HARD, and while she's not the sort to rage normally, this has her pissed. She wants to see Chrysalis pay, and dearly. But death is too good. Or perhaps Nephenee is just merciful enough...one of the two.]

So you're one of them, then? What makes ya not act like them?

[Forgive her for being...well, frank, Hain. She's forged in battle, and she's seen people change sides more than she can count. Kind of the main way to recruit, really.]

I'm... not sure, entirely. Maybe it was prolonged exposure to Chrysalis's incompetence, or maybe I'm just...

[Hain gives a cold chuckle at the irony of it.]

...maybe I'm just sick in the head. I was able to break myself away from the hive consciousness to save my brethren for a time. It was only after that point that I found actual independence.

[There's a long pause, as he considers.]

As long as she's removed from the hive and a new queen is put in her place, I could care less what you do to Chrysalis. I believe there's a new queen ready... which means that the important thing is taking her down.
