Riding high on the success of their defense of the Crystal City, and the defeat of Queen Chrysalis, Long Path takes the opportunity to address all the species and nations that banded together to make this possible, and rally support for his new House. However, the listening crowd does not realize that Path was mortally injured during the combat, and barely brought back from the brink of oblivion. So how is it that he’s able to make the speech so soon, especially when he’s still healing while encased in a changeling sustenance pod? It’s handy to have a trusted changeling administrative assistant to take your place in an emergency, and judging by Path’s smile and hoof-pump, he’s very happy with what he has heard.
