Stomp stomp CLANG.

Stomp stomp CLANG.

Stomp stomp CLANG.

Stomp stomp CLANG.

Everypony on the bridge could hear the racket even through two doors and a short corridor.

"Sounds like our filly friends are waiting for you," Vinyl remarked.

"Indeed," Octavia said.

Stomp stomp CLANG.

Stomp stomp CLANG.

Stomp stomp CLANG.

"Blueblood, what is our distance from the Drakenridge Mountains and the Luna One?"

"Uh," Prince Blueblood consulted the map in front of him, his lips moving silently as he did a few quick calculations in his head. "Fifty kilometers to the mountains. The Luna One is on the other side, another eighty kilometers."

"Razorback pass is in that area correct?"

"Yes ma'am," Blueblood replied. "Two kilometers north of our current course".

Stomp stomp CLANG.

The voice of Sweetie Bell soared above the rythmic stomping, clear and pure as the voice of an angel.

Buddy you're a foal make a big noise

Playin' in the street gonna be a big mare some day

You got mud on yo' face

You big disgrace

Kickin' your can all over the place

Singing

Applebloom and Scootaloo joined her in a shouting chorus.

We will we will rock you!

Stomp stomp CLANG.

We will we will rock you!

"Helmsmare. Turn two point two nine degrees port and nose down five degrees. Take us down to two six hundred meters."

The helmsmare turned around and stared at her. "But ma'am, that takes us below the ridge line!"

Octavia simply looked at her in silence.

"Yes ma'am!" She turned back to to the wheel and pushed a lever next to it forward and the nose of the Celestia started tilting downward and ever so slightly to the left.

Stomp stomp CLANG.

Buddy you're a young mare hard mare

Shoutin' in the street gonna take on the world some day

You got blood on yo' face

You big disgrace

Wavin' your banner all over the place

We will we will rock you!

Stomp stomp CLANG

We will we will rock you!

Octavia looked down to the open panel on the arm of her chair and flipped a switch. The intercom crackled to life.

"Fluttershy, prep the Sparkle unit and bring her up to one quarter power."

"O-okay," a small voice squeaked on the other end.

Octavia flipped another switch and a different voice sounded on the other end of the line. "Engine room!"

"Applejack, Fluttershy is powering up the Sparkle unit. You have thirty minutes to integrate its power relays into the mana-drive."

Stomp stomp CLANG.

"...You sure 'bout that...ma'am? I can do it, but the engines won't last long under that kind of punishment."

"Yes, I'm sure." Octavia cut the line.

Buddy you're an old mare poor mare...

Octavia stood up. "You have the bridge Vinyl. It's time I go brief the Cutie Mark Crusaders."

First mate Vinyl Scratch saluted as the Captain stood up and walked out the door.
