I liked how you were able to flesh out your agents' characters, especially E.V.L. She's pretty much how one would expect a Suvian agent to act! I hope to see a lot more of your work.
That said, I did catch a few things:
and even if we hate each others’ guts, I still need to know how you idiots do things around here
The apostrophe is in the wrong place. It should be should be "each other's guts".
E.V.L. decided not to pose the obvious question about how dA treated MLP:
I suggest that you cut the acronyms. Granted, it's easy to guess what you're talking about, but it might throw people off.
A second mini-Discord, Cadence, promptly poof-ed into existence next to the agents.
I don't think that the hyphen is needed.
“There never was any mention of how many alicorns the world could support at any one time,” the disguised ex-ficubus noted. “So that means this prophecy wouldn’t have been backed up by anything in the actual canon.”
It seems like E.V.L. is trying to make a good argument on the Sue's behalf; she's saying that the prophecy does not run afoul of canon.
If so, then the word that you've used is the exact opposite of the word you want: you should use "contradicted," not "backed up."
“Neat use of a title drop, but no points for you, Tara,” E.V.L. sighed.
This sounds like a good comment, but the problem is that the reader does not know the context! What is the title that the Sue is dropping?
In the following chapter, the other ponies caught up with the Sue, upon which she told them about where Twilight was...
You're using the wrong prepositional phrase. Where you put "upon which," what you really meant to say is "whereupon" or "at which point".
“Now, roll over!” Rayner ordered. Cerberus roll over onto his back.
Tense shift. It should be "rolled over".
“Then why don’t you just transfer him in External Security?” E.V.L. growled. “That way, I’ll never have to see his stupid face ever again.”
Two issues. One, it should be "transfer him to External Security".
Two; How does E.V.L. know about External Security?
