This week, in "Occupied Equestria":
Wondering through through the Changeling lands at night on the road between Bales and Whinnyapolis, Onyx, Brie, and Spark have stumbled upon a set of farm ponies trying to hide their cattle in the forest, away from their changeling occupiers. While rescuing a cow, Onyx and Brie have taken heavy damage, and so they followed them to the cabin of a local woodspony. But they found the woodspony and a farmer replaced by changelings, and after a skirmish are alone and wounded in the cabin in the woods.
Over in Baltimare, Dark Star has decided to give up his life as Dark Star, the Earth Pony farm colt, to become Tyrel Jackson, or "Gold Chains," a zebra and aspiring rap artist. Through the magic of Valmorification, it is possible. Iron is freaking out after possibly having received a message from God herself. That, and his usual social awkwardness. Silver is cashing out on a long standing set of projects, and is readying himself for the next phase

"So they are going to just trust ponies to waltz up to their HQ to drop off some foals and be on our way just because we had you speak some changeling tongue? Unless you convinced them of something I am not aware of..."

Iron's face contorts into disgust yet again.
(I never heard Cauldron talking like that.)
"Are you sure they talk like that, Dark Star?"

The following scene greets Brie when he enters the bedroom
It's a fairly small bedroom, wider than it is futher across, with at least one bunk bed against the wall, a couple windows that are partly iced over, and a missing bed. Simple wood floor, walls, and ceiling, giving the whole room a homogeneous look and nothing decorating the room besides the single remaining bunk bed, making it look pretty bare
The Changelings:
There are two of them, staring right at Brie and Spark
The left one has blue green eyes and a very degraded uniform that is mostly burnt. His carapace looks completely messed up, with deep black burns, dried blood, and parts of his carapace are torn because of presumably a lack of water as it wrinkles together. His wings are shriveled likewise, there is no way that pony is going to fly tonight. He still wears his Schwarmhelm helmet, which also has burns reducing some of the paint of it. Though he retains both eyes, one of them is swollen, and he keeps his lid half closed, as that eye has been damaged. It looks like it is leaking fluid. The black body - blacker from the burns - does at least have a slight bulge around the belly, so at least he has eaten very recently.
The second Changeling is to the right. His left set of hooves are poised forward in a manner that may not bring much comfort to his captors, like he is preparing to spring forward. This is likewise a fully grown drone, in a tattered, worn, and more than a little torn field grey military uniform, stained brown by mud - hopefully mud - over time. In the center of his chitinous barrel, his uniform is completely torn, and there is a bandage overtop made hastily from the cotton bandage of a first aid kit. This bandage has a bit of a blue stain to it, and this portion of its body looks collapsed in, like his whole exoskeleton has partly collapsed in in the middle. he takes short, fairly labored breathes, and sounds like he is in pain from wheezing. His eyes are an alconsuming blue. A deep blue, it looks kind of like a shallow pond late at night, where a lattern has lit up underneath it, as a point in each eye is a little brighter than the rest, getting darker the further it goes from the center. His face is unscathed. He too, wears the steel helmet. It's a bit worn and some paint has come off, but it looks like a better condition than the other

"Right. I forgot I had this."
He sips it all up but coughs slightly over the taste.

Blue Eyes is the first to respond, with a look of confusion. His voice is strange even for the standards of a Changeling, like he;s out of breath
"Sie sprechen Wechselbalg?"
Then, the burth blue-green eyed drone answers, and he answers in full, stopping at points as if to edit his remarks in real time
"Wir waren hungrig. Wir wurden vor einigen Monaten von unserer Gruppe getrennt und wollten nicht zurück. Wir fanden diese Hütte hier im Wald und sie hatte ein paar Ponys ..."
He looks as if he has more to say on this point, but he stops
"Siebenhundertvierundfünfzig und Achthundertneunundfünfzig hörten Geräusche. Sie gingen nachforschen, und es war dieses verdammte schwarze Pony. Er hat beide getötet. Wir haben uns als Schafe verkleidet, um zu entkommen, aber sie kamen schließlich zurück und fanden unsere seidene Beute ... sie fanden die Ponys. Wir griffen an und das Einhorn verbrannte mich, während mein Kamerad aufgespießt wurde"

"Der erste sagte "We were hungry. We were separated from our group a few months ago and did not want to go back. We found this cabin here in the woods and she had a few ponies." der zweite sagte "Seven hundred fifty-four and eight hundred fifty-one heard noises. They went investigate, and it was that damn black pony. He killed both. We disguised ourselves as sheep to escape, but they finally came back and found our silken prey ... they found the ponies. We attacked and the unicorn burned me while my comrade was being impaled" Brie says dryly.

Blue eyes moves back, locking his legs into position. Like he’s startled, but somehow more comfortable
“Bust du ein Wechselbalg?”
Blue Green adds his own:
“Wir waren aus neunzigster Infanterie. Wir wurden getrennt, als die Crystal-Ponys angegriffen wurden.”

It is Brie’s answer to Blue Eyes that really let’s him feel it is okay to continue
“Bitte, wir sind Deserteure. Wir sind aus dem Bienenstock von Phalantine, und wir wurden gezwungen, der Hegemonie zu dienen, als unser Bienenstock annektiert wurde. Wir haben keine Streitigkeiten mit Ponys oder Equestria, die über unsere Ernährungsbedürfnisse hinausgehen. Wir wollen keine Ponys verletzen, es sei denn, wir müssen uns selbst verteidigen oder hungern. Wir sind in der Hegemonie nicht willkommen und streifen schon lange durch die Wälder.”

I would still classify it as an attack as far as a pony would know.
And you should feel happy knowing that it hurts to combat your enemies. It's not an xp + gold sack.

“I could.... but the Changelings don’t let us move around much. They don’t like us here in the woods either”

“You were a soldier? For the Crystal Empire?”

Carapace. Apparently the German word for “carapace” is the sane as the word for “armor,” which in English is a synonymous for Tank
I feel like I’m living out a lecture I watched in a philosophy of language class when I visited the college I would later go to. It was a lecture about W. V. Quine’s theory if the Indeterminacy of Translation, and how one word can turn into something completely different in the course of translation.

Brie has made negotiations with the government of the Changeling Hegemony. These are are group of rogue changelings that deserted from the military and were roaming the forest, and who got in a battle and lost with Spark and Onyx after doing a lot of harm on a small civilian group, including cocooning three ponies. Spark has kept them prisoner in the bedroom. They neither know what negotiations Brie made with the Hegemony, nor would it really matter to them, as they are no longer affiliated

In the far south, the area has gone from kind of Mexican to super Mexican. Whereas before there would be Tenochitlan, Saltmane coast, Temple, the Forbidden Jungle, and the East Forbidden Jungle, now it is Tenoctictlan, weird nahuatl name I can’t spell or pronounce, weird nahuatl name I can’t spell or pronounce, weird nahuatl name I can’t spell or pronounce, and weird nahuatl name I can’t spell or pronounce. It’s like going from my hometown, where 30% of the population was Mexican, to where I live now, where 92% of the population is Mexican. Seriously, every single state south of dusk-away and East of Stableside (the entire southeast) now has a name that is Nahuatl or Mayan and is 100% impossible for an Indi-European language speaker to spell or pronounce. Maybe it’s a plus, but I noticed that the pun I use, “neighuatl,” is now used in the game as well.
In the Baltimare Socialist Republic, there is now a split between the anarchist “libertarian socialists,” and the Communists who have not gone full retard. Over in Las Pegasus, a crime syndicate can take over. That nation is not playable, but I know that they have the option to seek support from their own version of the Blackhooves. I’m hoping it will be an Objectivist-Ayn Randian faction there. Anyways it looks good for Spectral Streak.
And in the Confederation of Southern States.... we have reach the End of History. Just look at pic related

Whereas before there would be Tenochitlan, Saltmane coast, Temple, the Forbidden Jungle, and the East Forbidden Jungle, now it is Tenoctictlan, weird nahuatl name I can’t spell or pronounce, weird nahuatl name I can’t spell or pronounce, weird nahuatl name I can’t spell or pronounce, and weird nahuatl name I can’t spell or pronounce. It’s like going from my hometown, where 30% of the population was Mexican, to where I live now, where 92% of the population is Mexican. Seriously, every single state south of dusk-away and East of Stableside (the entire southeast) now has a name that is Nahuatl or Mayan and is 100% impossible for an Indi-European language speaker to spell or pronounce. Maybe it’s a plus, but I noticed that the pun I use, “neighuatl,” is now used in the game as well.
In the Baltimare Socialist Republic, there is now a split between the anarchist “libertarian socialists,” and the Communists who have not gone full retard. Over in Las Pegasus, a crime syndicate can take over. That nation is not playable, but I know that they have the option to seek support from their own version of the Blackhooves. I’m hoping it will be an Objectivist-Ayn Randian faction there. Anyways it looks good for Spectral Streak.
And in the Confederation of Southern States.... we have reach the End of History. Just look at pic related

Huh...well, whaddya know...
Also, you sure you mean Spectral Streak? He was the soldier. Silver Rain was the Las Pegasus gangster.

I sure hope they don't travel too far in that Confederacy road. Holy Hecc, that looks like it's going to end in a dumpster fire.
Seems Iron is mayan-like now, too.
Still, congratulations for Silver Rain's presence to be so impactful he actually created a gang in the actual game. Kudos.

THERE ARE NO BRAKES ON THE STATES RIGHTS TRAIN. Seriously, what’s the issue? We already have like 4 Nazi factions, two Bolshevik factions, and fucking IngSoc from 1984, we can add our Southern Heritage.
I’ve thought of Iron as more like the Comanche Indian, but I guess that’s a whole other story

Yes.
Hm, it seems necessary in order to perhaps emphatize for the workers/organizers, solidify the police's lack of response to blatantly illegal activities and present some sort of urgency to the matter.
Simply put, it would strengthen PC motivation to stop this, but also allow for some diplomacy if Silver wants to.
Because let's be honest, Dark Star and Iron are not the understanding type.
I'd say you go for it.

Agreed. Seems like the only reasons they were made Communist is because Harmonists aren't very well known for fighting, and there were already Non-aligned and Fascist factions in the civil war. Other than that, there's only very flimsy connections between them and the ideology, and they even draw attention to it in the "Internationalism" focus where they mention that the partisans aren't as bloodthirsty as other Communists, and how they wish to preserve their faith and culture.

Skies wouldn't really consider talking to these ponies unless she gets to kill them later in order to stop them forever and win.
Dark Star would mainly kill everything for seeing them as ponies who took his mother and life.
Iron would not really care for anything, except possibly the zebra illegals since he's courting one.
Silver's the only one who would even want to diplomacy.

I suppose they weren't much of a threat to consider them killed, especially after Chonyx the Chadstal Pony merely stared at both of them, their legs giving out because of it.
I have a backup character who would be more interested in doing that. Also a mind magic one (Psion) she is.

Really not that different with magic, honestly. Simple RPG stuff of 'use spell' costing you a secondary spell meter instead of limited spell slots per day. Way easier to manage on both sides.
In fact, most of them have annoying mind-affecting flag that limits the power's versatility.
To top it all off, it's SRD, too. No homebrew here.

There's also a sneaky type and a healer among who we would need. Blue Skies can fill out the sneak roll, and, if she can be convinced to help, Cauldron and her potions can help for the healer role. Silver can pay her if she requires it.

That's why Iron'd be escorting him to the other tavern to avoid paranoid waifu stealing.
I honestly don't know any other healers, and Silver's church acquaintance wouldn't want to do Black Hooves work.

Or a potionmaster mademare, whichever works better/makes her happy.

Perhaps I'll ask for 2500 bits. We do need have more party members who could get hurt.

Silver's probably gonna need another well paying job to be able to afford the home/guildhouse he'd want to purchase, but sure.
Also, seriously, Silver will NOT try to steal Iron's zeebfu. Far from it, he'd try to help him out. GM, if Silver does try to steal her, remember this post, and strike Silver down dead on the spot.

I trust you, but you're still getting the increased fee to contract her. There's still more ponies to heal than just Iron, and each potion costs quite a bit. 500 GP each if we go for cure medium wounds potions.
Look in the bright side. You'll get more options from her the more money you give her!

Hopefully she sticks to Cure Light Wounds potions, or other types of potions of similar cost. 2,500 Bits is a lot for five (or less) healing potions.

Fuck it, I'm'a post the first part. Maybe this will force me to complete it
As the trio sits together at the bar table, they have the chance to take a closer look at the last portion of the dossier, the portion that concerns the recent history of the structure in question, and how it came to the attention of the civil administration.
In 984 the East Baltimare Poorhouse came under criticism for poor working conditions, somewhat similarly to the laundry before it. Moreover, the site was failing to break even at a time when the city was already needing to contract bonds to cover the cost of expanding services. Thus enters Sweet Boek. Sweet Boek, now a fairly old unicorn, is the latest in the line of an old Baltimare Family dating back to the earliest settlement of the city by the Amstel Unicorns. As the family had controlled a number of farming interests, it controlled lands that were managed and later carefully sold, with Sweet Boek’s father in particular expanding the family wealth through careful investment. Though Sweet Boek was and is more academically inclined, he made an investment by exchanging the 33 Hoebuck site for a set of lots in the west city that the city intended to use to build a new school and fire station. The site reopened in 990 by being leased in part to multiple renters. It was around this time that the latest wave of immigration came into the city, and the site has since spent most of its history being leased out as cheap housing for those staying a length of time less than that normal for an apartment length, but more than would be appropriate for a hotel.
Trouble with the location began before the second coming of Nightmare Moon, with police who were called out to the site in 998 in reference to an aggravated assault reporting a fairly hostile response from those inhabiting the building. A structural change occurred to the building, where the subterranean floors, and also the uppermost floors were sectioned off to reduce the total size of the building, a change that began in the latest years of the operation of the poorhouse and was complete during its time as a set of leased units. The workshop portion had been leased to a separate interest as a shoe factory, while the middle portion was retained by the Hostel operating the dorms. In 1002 the shoe shop was transferred to a local Baltimare corporate interest, while the Hostel came under the control of an owner in Nova Griffonia in 1004. The neighborhood declined in quality over this period of time, and many police patrolling the area noted coming upon different groups of griffins and zebra on many occasions, which was no cause for alarm as it is in the nature of Hostels to become home to transients. These encounters were less on the road than where groups were seen on the side, or on those occasions officers or medical services came to the scene. Griffins inside looked on anxiously with the arrival of authorities, pressing them to leave even when their presence was essential, such as in the case of a call of medical help in 1005.
One of the most important interactions took place in 1006 when a public utilities worker investigating the portion of the property between the buildings and the water front, discovered what was found to be a mass grave. The mass grave, containing perhaps 130 skeletons of ponies, dated back at least 80 years to the time that 33 Hoebuck operated as an asylum for lost mares. The discovery of the site did cause the opening of an investigation into the handling of the asylum, but not of the present operations, given the prevalence in those days of a high infant morality rate for foals born to single mothers, the sleeping sickness, and various other diseases, as well as the high tendency of those who died while at the asylum, the poorhouse, or the earlier debtors prison, to be without families to claim the body. What did however, give cause for concern was the way in which the inhabitants of the buildings on the site reacted. Griffons would often give strange looks to the excavators, detectives, or urban archaeologists responding to the front part of the property, and said ponies were denied entrance into any part of the building, even for needs like water or bathroom usage, and griffons often tried to deny access to the waterfront altogether on certain days, general weekend days. Police were required to force entry on two separate occasions. Perhaps understandably, the number of residents encountered on the Hostel portion of the property seemed to decrease during the three week total period of investigation in which ponies were found in or around the site, and the area on the waterfront was abandoned altogether by anycreature using the hostel. The investigation confirmed what was known from the time of the city acquiring the poorhouse, which was that the structure included an underground portion dating back to the time of the old fort from the waterfront to the main structures, as stone was hit by excavating shovels.
At around this time, investigators on the property made contact with the actual lessee of the hostel, a suave white and grey feathered Griffon who introduced himself as Stormfeather Maakie, a businessgrif originally from Skyfall who had long operated a set of hotels in Nouvelle Aquellia. He expressed a concern that the negative press coverage and the excavation behind the hostel would scare away customers, and indeed there did seem to be a drop in activity during that period. However, the situation as a whole returned to normally after the investigation was concluded 22 days after the initial discovery.
