And this dependent attitude persists on the other side too. We just saw it in our direct reports, who responded to being told a pony needed to run Equestria by wildly panicking and hoping desperately that an alicorn will show up and solve all their problems.

It's actually really important to getting a stable Celestia that someone tries to change things.

Huh, don't think I've spoken much with you a'fore! Least not direct. But, regardless...

Agreed in part, but I'm not certain on the conclusion. I hope you are correct and I can see a path where you are, but I am not yet confident enough in that path to say it is true.
Celestia does not believe Ponykind capable or ruling itself after what she's seen. Her "Mercy" is to offer an attempt at it.
See the Solar Court for... this entire line of thought in very explicit detail.
I don't think it is a wise decision to have Velvet try and exert control and grasp at this time, but I do think it is the... decision that would match everything that has been made Velvet. Never one to rest on laurels.
She let Evil into the world thinking she could perform more good after all. It is....

Well, I have thoughts but nothing well formed. Not enough to put to words yet.

I will vote later myself. For now, just... yeah.

I leave voting on the expedition alone because I did not keep up with the development of the turn plan.
I am of the beliefe that with the investment of actions and other traits the chance of a good outcome is better than a bad one.

That, and as the pony who chose to deprive Celestia and Equestria of their Moon Princess for a season, and in so doing partially precipitated this crisis, we arguably have the duty to try.

[X] Plan: All and One

Sending three names on a short expedition seems excessive. Sending just Mareinette with him is fine.
I'm down to risk trying to change things.

[X] Plan: All and Two
-[X] (YUXTABEI) Artifacts and curios: Everything
-[X] (SMILES) Artifacts and curios: None
-[X] (SMILES) Accompanying team: Mareinette and Selene

I slightly prefer the Selene addition, but this is really low stakes.

We just saw Smiles just kill a pony over a misinterpretation of meaning, so maybe having Luna on hand to moderate such actions is warranted.
 
It is kind of funny how that was, indeed, just glossed over. And i wonder how many people went "(slaps knee) ahah, thats juuuust Smiles!" and how many are just beyond caring for such a casual death.

Velvet is beyond caring, of course. And im neither claiming anyone here is a monster nor saying this should have caused an uproar.

But i do enjoy this... this little marker, of how far Velvet has come.

I only feel slightly upstaged that reverse crime of the sky was shot down in large part because of fears about "muh canterlot nobles! this will cause consequences!" only for Smiles to casually violate Rule 8 anyway.

@OurLadyOfWires Sorry for doing a repeated ping but it's been a while and I was hoping we could get an answer on that question I had about the SHartifact.
