Welcome back to the Latest Thread of Occupied Equestria
Onyx, Spark and Brie settle down for the night in a cabin in the woods along with a set of recently rescued ponies, saved from Changeling cocoons, as well as the changelings who sought to take them captive, who are themselves locked away as captives.
In Baltimare, Silver, Dark Star, Iron, and now Midnight Lily do their last preparations before seeking to take on a creature smuggling operation in a port-side neighborhood

Iron closes the front side door.
"The right door it is."
He opens the right-side door, with Midnight in tow at a safe distance, flashlight pointing forward, scouting the place.

Wonder what Skies would have find when the party split. I can only imagine her freaking out “what the fuck are you doing, we need to stick together,” but I really can’t see her as in either group, since it would be awkward to not be in the other group

It looks as if this is a tunnel underground that goes a short distance or so. The tunnel is straight, and the walls are painted white, while the floor is concrete

Iron is quite surprised.
"An escape tunnel, maybe?"
He walks along the tunnel to see where it ends.
(This could prove useful if we end up having to run away.)

It goes deeper, further. Finally, they get to a room with loud machines, and a cart. These machines seem to have an internal spinning mechanism

He comes closer to them, studying their purpose.
(The workshop was on the right door. Perhaps this control the lights?)
Int check to see what magic knowledge he can muster on what these machines could do.

He decides to use the cart as a possible hiding spot for both Midnight and himself for now.
(Is he coming over here?) Iron thinks to himself, peeking around where the noise came from.

Crap.
(I need to hide until she is close. Perhaps I can do some interrogation if I can catch her.)
With that, he covers his whole body around the cart until he can hear her as where the machines are.

Did you want cool and varied challenges for the party that are appropriate to the level?

Shit. Well, Iron should know where they are and viceversa.
I'm not sure which path is the most time consuming one, but perhaps I can skedaddle with Midnight to the church or the S gang can go back to the warehouse after they find out the possible main bad of this mission and have some screentime to do things.

I think you're witnessing the bad griff, so I assume he'll go back to the warehouse to oversee how everything is going back at his business. I think.
Or he could be some random griffon dressed in black, I dunno.

Dark Star - and Silver, should be so choose - looks into the church though the blinds. The blinds are down, but open, so that they can see through the gaps between the blinds, even as parts of their vision are obscured. The church is rectangular on the side facing Horseman Avenue, before “bulging” bear the center. From the outside the materials used to create the “bulge” are different, as the extension to the building’s middle seems to have been created after the building’s construction.
Silver might recall that Severyanan Orthodox prefer a circular or plus shaped construction, where a congregation circles around s sacred center, in contrast to the austere and simple rectangular style of the Ponetarian Amstel ponies.
The walls are are plain, beyond a few posters around eye level. The icons, stained glass, and other religious decorations that probably existed at the time this was a church of the Severyanans. All that remains is a single set of stained glass far behind what was the center and pulpit, on the rear wall, and a single icon of the twin sisters hanging in a location where the ceiling rises in the center of the building. This icon must be too high for any renovator to bother removing. The walls are a subtle and non intrusive pink, and fairly plain. In a weird kind of way, the Church has returned to its origins through its new, austere and plain interior. This was a church of the Ponetarians before immigrants from Severyana made it theirs, and the Ponetarians eschewed iconography or religious pomposity. To them, the divine and moral was so beyond the material, that to attempt to represent it could only distract ponies from true Harmony. Harmony exists within and beyond us, not in our representations of it. Spiritual gatherings are useful mostly for teaching, and thus the places of their gatherings are structured as s teacher teaching a class. To be spiritual and in Harmony is always and everywhere, and no location should pretend to be especially elevated above it. This was not the view of the Church of Severyana, where the gatherings were the opportunity to take part in the sacred, and to be in the presence of the sacred. That is why they adorn their places of worship in icons, and structure their contractions in a circle around a center. It is a way to bring the self to the spiritual, to represent it, and to unite the self with the others around you.
Now the floor is planks of wood, forming a respectable enough dancing floor. The pews are gone, but removable and foldable chairs of various kinds populate it in makeshift pews. There are something like thirty creatures before a single speaker. The group is overwhelmingly griffin, more so than the average of Red Heart, but there is at least one pony among the audience. Dark Star described the scene as a religious congregation, and that is essentially what it appears to be, with a single griffin elevated on a stage speaking to larger group who do not seem to be speaking back. After all, the police report, or at least the portions not lost or sealed away, lists this location as home to a congregation of worshipers of the god Boreas, albeit one that does not answer to the Archonate, and is not recognized by the official griffin church.
If there are any rituals, or any special symbols, they are not present for the sermon. Indeed, the scene hardly looks any different from when Dark Star watched Golden delicious speak to a crowd of a thousand on the coming socialist state, or when Dark Star watched Affordable Care, or even Marecuse, speak of the Revolution. Indeed, it could as well be a lecture by a professor, or a briefing by a general. Even a corporate meeting. Unlike the congregation in Dark Star’s old Celestialist Church the creatures in the audience pay intense attention, never playing with their feathers nor talking to the creature next to them, but always focusing intensely on the speaker, never drifting or losing attention. One thing is certain, they are not dancing.
Their attire is fairly formal, but not fully ritual. The lead griffin wears a black formal coat that does not hang down like an Orthodox priest, nor does he appear to be a dandy. If this is indeed a religious sermon, this congregation seems as austere and plain as the Ponetarians, because their is no particularly special attire nor complex ritual on display. In appearance, it is essentially secular.
They can hear speech, they cannot hear said speech in enough detail to make out words or even the language.

Perhaps it is only appropriate. Brie has finished persuading the pair of changelings to follow him to his date with the Hegemony. They are tired, starved, injured, and though the suspect Brie may sell them out, they cannot avoid the firing squad forever.
Over in the other room are several ponies, almost all of whom suffer from severe Changeling love drain

Silver digests that little nugget. "Cults are everywhere, religious or not. I am not explicitly saying it is cult, it just seems like one. Cults rely on charismatic speakers, capable of getting inside others' heads and speaking directly to them, to what they want out of life. Rarely does it end well for those who fall for such honeyed words. And this, well, it seems more like they are here for who is speaking as much what they are speaking."

Alright....
Iron Midnight leave from the loading bay, going past the door to the right, the ramp down to the left, and the door in front and to the left, closing instead to go down a ramp that leads into a small tunnel going straight ahead. It has a flat concrete surface, brick walls, and an arched ceiling,l. It looks wide enough for a cart to just barely maneuver, and precedes straight from the loading bay has be hundred feet or more, illuminated by spaced incandescent electrical lights that just barely light the brick hallway. This goes past a door, and into a room that bulges out. The room has a drain on the floor, and a number of steel cylinders four or five feet in diameter that have knobs and seem to be done kind of machine. In the hallway is a metal cart with a big open rectangle that was found to contain articles of white clothing when Iron inspected it. The sounds of the machines can be hear long before the two arrive, and hides the sounds of a griffin who approaches from the left, from a different, smaller hall

Alright... as Midnight has chosen to be found...
The griffin comes out slowly. She wears some kind of white cover on her front, but is otherwise unclothed, and has white feathers with black ends, and a soft but dull lion coat on her main body. She is fairly small, yet still as big as Midnight as Griffins tend to be. She is at first kind of lazy in her approach, but when she sees Midnight, she reacts with fear, throwing her wings over her beak and widening her eyes
“Qui es-tu? Qu'est ce que tu fais en bas?!”

The griffin goes ahead in front of Midnight, but looks back to watch her occasionally
“This way”
She goes forward, and leads into a room with a couple other carts and folded clothing, then a ramp going up to the first level off to the right then turning right again. This goes out a big door into what must be the first floor. The hallway goes each way, and has a couple big doors branching off. The walls are painted white, the floor is a number of 1 foot by 1 foot square tiles that are a brownish black in color
“This way” she says again, taking a left

Some part of him points out they should not separate more than the group already is, so he retraces the griffin and Midnight's steps to the best of his ability.

"That is fine, I can just stay here."
Midnight simply sits next to the door, and decides to make small talk.
"What is this place?"
[1d20+12 = 17]
diplomacy to hopefully make the griffon a bit more friendly.

Loading bay, possibly.
Iron peeks around for any trace of the griffon-bat combo.
(They could not have gone so far.)

Ohok.
Iron steps forth, exploring the room he stumbled into, particularly the clothing and towels.

It is an inelegantly constructed room. The walls are naked brick of a variety with a distinct brown and yellow hue. The floor is bare concrete, and the most complication comes from a single vent that blows in warmer air, and electric lights with naked cables. Inside the room there are a couple bins, containing mostly folded cloths, and a couple tables with clothes on them. Clothes are mostly simple woven, although there are some fancier coats and robes (probably wool), which are hung up on a rack. Towels are undyed white cotton.

She’s looks back, then down, then back to her
“What is... your name”

Iron's mind lights up.
(This is the place where they store their export, possibly. I might be getting somewhere here.)
He inspects the fancier coats and robes first, seeing if they have some sort of signature or otherwise tag where it says who made the clothes.
(If only I had somepony who knew if they'd seen the clothes before...)

Hm. What could that mean? Clothes brand or actual Griffonia places? Sadly, Iron is a dumbell, so he'd have to do some 'borrowing'.
Iron nods to himself.
(This seems like useful information.)
He glances around for any sort of reliable and quiet method for carrying around folded clothes.
Technically, Iron can probably take those boxes without issue, but it's going to look conspicuous.

Aside from the carts, there are no options besides carrying them on hangers or over his back. Maybe in a cotton bag, but this would unfold and possibly wrinkle them

He decides to try carrying them on his back the available fancy clothes, for he believes they are the easiest to recognize for searching who and where they are going.

"Ah, I see."
Midnight heavily considers trying to get away from the griffon, but isn't sure if it's the best idea.

"I will stay here"
Midnight gives a smile, as if she isn't gonna run off the moment she's alone.

Iron shakes his head.
(I should avoid damaging the garments.)
He glances at one of the carts.
(Perhaps they are the best option. Might as well take some of the more simple clothing, too.)
And with that, he starts packing one of the carts with the available fancy clothing plus some of the simpler clothes.

Are the carts really that small they cannot fit a strewn out article of clothing?
Or is the act of moving them? If so, he will be forced to carry them on his back slowly and all that, since that previously didn't risk unfolding.

You can....
He can try to place them down carefully in an empty cart
>>113104
Joan goes down the hall and turns right, which Midnight has the spacial awareness to know us the opposite direction they came from, and leads the griffin in the direction of the hostel/fort building
If Midnight chooses to leave quickly, she may need to move silently

Midnight waits a moment before slowly walking down the hall, turning back toward where she came.

It contains a moderate amount of clothes that are of simple design, and several colors. At least some of the fancy clothes on the rack could fit in it without overflowing

I sure hope this is actually useful for the mission.
Iron decides that not all fancy clothing should be extracted, for they would both disrupt their operations while allowing some of it be shipped off to their destination to see which are the ones accepting the clothes.
(Hard evidence of clothing presence. This should be worthy of taking out.)

In any case, Iron goes to inspect it.
Does it lead outside? Are there any other exits that could lead directly outside in the room he's in?

He walks along said hallway, figuring out if he can find a safe and close exit to take out the clothes.
(Will Skies know how to hide a cart full of clothes? I hope so.)

It’s probably the most public place of this building. There are doors, but nothing obviously leads to an exit

At least he's not going to cause an uproar due to his costume, then.
He decides to check the doors at his disposal since he lost himself in this maze of a building.
