[b]Tartrus[/b]
The Plague could not send messages outside of Tartrus. It was trapped, and its powers several weakened. The Aetherii knew nothing.

[b]Research Labs[/b]
Vahlen watched as she destroyed all of the research, and the DNA samples. It was not worth the trouble, and she did feel a bit bad about what she did to the clones. She deleted the remote research, and ended up telling the Princesses and Duck they need to take a more humane approach in the future.

[b]Union of Space-Faring Nations[/b]
The Equestrians have purposed a meeting, on Equiis this time, for a Union between the two nations, of which other nations could join later. They already have many things planned but they wish the Lakfalle Cooperative to send diplomats so they may show them what they have planned for the treaty and so it can be discussed. They also said that scientists have successfully broken open and replicated a anti-proton streamer, and have sent the design specs to the Lakfalle Cooperative.
