ARES 3 solar day 216

Transcript – Hydraulic Telegraph Switch – ESA Maltimore Center ＜-＞ ESA spacecraft AMICITAS

AMICITAS: Amicitas calls Maltimore, uses Berry Space Suit to reply, completed.

ESA: Maltimore calls Amicitas, over.

AMICITAS: Starlight - Cocoon needs to be consulted about Dragonfly's health, over.

ESA: Twilight - Cocoon is not present. She is currently stationed on Concordia, waiting for us to discover your traces. It will not return to the ground until mission day 231, over.

AMICITAS: Male Gobi, over.

ESA: Is there anything important you want to discuss with Cocoon now? complete.

AMICITAS: Not sure yet. We have serious concerns about Tingting's health, but Tingting is unwilling to discuss the problem with us. Advice from a changeling medical expert is required. In addition, please do not inform Tingting of these questions we have asked, over.

ESA: Tell me about the situation first, over.

ESA: Maltimore calls Amicitas, communication check, completed.

AMICITAS: Sorry Maltimore, Berry said that unless things get worse, this matter should be handled internally by the changelings. Cocoon will not be happy for ponies to pry into personal matters concerning the health of the changeling, over.

ESA: Wait, it’s over.

ESA: I just spoke to Yu Yu. She refused to force you to report the situation. She said that if Tingting wanted to hide the situation, she had a good reason. We'll find a way to find a changeling to consult on countermeasures, over.

AMICITAS: Got it. We will discuss this next time Tingting goes elsewhere. Communication ends.

Cherry Berry silently looked at Spitfire, Starlight Glimmer and Fireball in front of her. They also looked at each other without saying a word. Just after the last message was sent, running water quietly seeped into the soil of the potato fields on the farm in the residential area.

"Should we do this or not?" the pink earth pony asked.

"Then what else can we do?" Fireball raised his paws and muttered eccentrically, pretending to be a character in a puppet show, "Dingxiao, we know you are sick. No, I am not. Yes, you are sick. No, I am not." He put down his paw and continued to complain, "Reread it as many times as you want. She can't tell you directly. It is a sign of weakness. Only in this way can we understand the truth."

Berry glared at the dragon, "Should I worry about whether there are any other guys here who don't want to show weakness?"

Fireball became angry when he heard this, and roared loudly. But he quickly restrained himself, stopped, snorted, and muttered, "It's just that I can't breathe out fire. I don't know if there are any other effects. In other respects, everything feels pretty normal."

The other three ponies looked at each other, but they were all silent.

"Have you noticed," Spitfire said after a while, "that she hasn't tried to get us alone in a corner to chat in weeks? And she doesn't play dumb as much as she used to. ." Seeing everyone nodding in agreement, she continued, "How worried did she have to be that she would forget about those cunning little tricks of her changelings?"

"It's not worry," Fireball was still mumbling to himself, "it's fear."

Berry sighed, "Okay, but what on earth should we do?"

Then Starlight Glimmer also sighed, "Just keep looking for excuses to waste magic," she replied, "You all saw what she looked like yesterday. She can't hide it anymore; obviously she is in desperate need of magic."

"Perhaps," Feihuo's hoarse voice carried a hint of unusual caution, "Maybe we all need magic?"

"We can ask Twilight," Starlight gestured, pointing to her spacesuit.

"We don't have time now," Berry shook her head, "Mark and Tingting may come back for lunch at any time." She stared at everyone present and winked, "We all pretend not to know about this. Right?"

"How could I have known there was something wrong if I hadn't lived with her for more than six months," Spitfire said. "She seems quite normal. Pretty normal by changeling standards anyway."

"But it's not normal by Tingting's standards." Xingguang added.

The outer door of the No. 2 airlock opened, and the crisp sound of metal collision echoed in the habitation module. Starlight heard the sound and hurried out to put the space suit back in place.
