>Alright, everyone, settle down and listen up! As you know, we've been dealing with a particularly annoying infestation over the last few days: shadow creatures, apparently born from nightmares, have been harassing and attacking folks all over Equestria. I don't know how they managed to make themselves real, and the fact that that's a thing that can happen opens up some, uh, conversations that should probably stay closed, but we've been following what leads we can to determine the source of all this trouble. And thanks to some info from Princess Luna and work put in by Princess Twilight, we may finally have a pretty solid one. Out to the north of Canterlot, there's an old, abandoned school that Princess Luna has designated as a point of interest that could lead us to who or whatever is causing these shadow creatures to go wild. Unfortunately, there've been a lot of schools built up and left to rot out in the northern forest over the past thousand+ years that Canterlot's been around, leaving us with a lot of ground to cover. Miles of it.
He takes a breath and flashes the audience of guards and fliers a smile, the sort you put on for a bit of exaggerated levity.
>And that's where you lot come in. Headed by your Team Leaders at the front of the room here, you'll be searching the northern forest in your own designated quadrants. To make things more efficient, each team will have at least one flier to provide a bird's eye view of the area. The Royal Guard's still short staffed due to all the vacation time hat's being cashed out. so the Wonderbolts, courtesy of their Captain, are providing support for this mission.
A hoof goes up, belonging to Fleetfoot.
"Wait, you're talking about Lightning Dust, right? That Captain of the Wonderbolts?"
Pommel fixes her with a perplexed stare.
>Yes? There's only the one Captain... and the other positions that are technically higher, but-
Another hoof goes up, this time from Soarin'.
"When'd you talk to her?"
>This morning?
Then another hoof goes up-
>Wait, wait, wait! I can tell this is gonna be a whole deal, so let's save the questions for AFTER the briefing's done, alright?
The hooves go down and the Captain lets out a sigh as he moves closer to the table at the front of the room. Sheets of paper are stacked across its length.
>Now, you've already been sorted into your groups, so all that's left to do is to give you your maps and the quadrant's you'll be searching. First up...
His horn alight with magic, he takes hold of one of the stacks and gives its first page a once-over.
>Spike and the A-Team.
Before floating it over to the purple dragon.
>You'll be searching Quadrant...
And so it went for the rest of the Team Leaders - distribution of maps, assignment of quadrant - until only one stack remained. Or rather, two pieces of paper.
