One by one, the pegasi on board flew the others to the nearby boats. I volunteered to make sure everypony was out on deck.  
Once Twilight saw it was going well, she requested that Spike and herself leave for the safety of the ship, forgetting that she left somepony behind…
 
References and Easter eggs;  
Twilight’s mini-speech is a mildly re-worded quote from the late Captain Edward J. Smith, the captain of the Titanic.  
He walked into the Marconi (radio) room, and told the operators Jack Phillips and Harold Bride;  
“Men, abandon your cabin. You have done your duty.”  
Both operators made it to a lifeboat, but Phillips died from his exposure to the cold.  
Captain Smith was last seen in the wheel house.
