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

So did we get out through the half opened big door?
I can try a strength check to open it further.

That would be an easier task if he were in a savannah or prairie, and not one of the most densely populated square miles of land in the biggest city in the entire southeastern region of Equestria.
There are some areas in the surrounding ground that offer some room to try to hid things, for instance, a ditch that goes through the property, and a few bushes, but the lack of leaves on trees does Iron no favors, and certainly there is no ground to hide an entire laundry cart

*Continues petting*
Wait.... am I a pony now?

Yes, you are. We're all ponies now.
Iron considers his options.
(Crud. Perhaps it's time I rid myself of this cart thing.)
He looks at Midnight.
"Take out the clothing in the cart and place it in the bushes. We should have time before they come here again."
He unlatches himself from the cart and proceeds to do what he said.

She proceeds to remove some of the clothes and place them under some bushes.

No creature is immediately visible down either hallway. Then again, there is no light in the hallway, so the darkness may obscure both the ponies and any creatures further down the hallway

It’s polished steel, probably chrome plated or stainless, and slightly reflective. It has eight fairly straight “rays,” possibly arms or legs, that lean forward clockwise as they spread away from the small circular origin, and have little hooks on the end that point the opposite direction. Almost like like claws on legs, though they don’t seem to directly represent such. The decorative object is simply hung from a nail, and there is nothing behind it

No blood save for that generated by the confrontation. Midnight must have patched him well. The door at the far end leads into what has the appearance of a kitchen, with pots, and oven, sinks, and steel cabinets in the middle

Inside the kitchen, a pot remains uncleared, if empty, with little bits of red and brown substance on the edges. The oven is off, but has a smell to it of recently cooked grain items. A couple bits of food materials are still out, most notably the outer parts of an onion. There are some knives - mostly placed away - a kitten on a table, and some other items from what seems to be recent cooking. A sink has several pots and pans in it, and there is a large stack of dishes at least five high

"Somepony seems to have cooked here."
Iron seems a bit amazed at how many dishes have been used.
"Seems there is quite a lot of ponies eating here. I wonder if the 'workers' were included."
He walks around a bit, remembering Cauldron's cooking.
(Is this what she has to deal with at the end of the day?)

This opens to another room. A bit darker. Off to the right is another wall, but over to the left is a big black metal cylinder. Redlight glows out through a hole. There are various other pipes and cylinders, and a few drums. Along the wall is one door, and on the face wall is a brick arch way with a browner shade of brick

D’aww, that’s sweet
I guess Skies does not back out, but rather, explains that she was with the zebra and the fluffy one were at a bar, they started talking about their lives and how they feel a sense of being lost, which lead to a discussion of religion and how they fell out, which lead to a discussion of the old church the fluffy one used to attend, which gave a sense of nostalgia which just added to the sensation of existential depression, which was compounded by the alcohol, and well, here they are now. She asks for the parishioners to forgive their intoxicated, depression filled interruption

Big, black, pretty wide. Seems to be a furnace. Probably fuel oil, but an alternate ability to burn coal can’t quite be ruled out.

Midnight can see that a large pipe comes over to the boiler, runs into it, and then into another hot unit, a tall rectangle, that inturn sends narrower pipes out, one above, one to the ceiling and to the left, and one to the ceiling and to the right. This unit in turn connects with a set of cylindrical tanks to the right, which send out thicker pipes in all directions, and a few pipes connect with all units from above and below. On pipes, gauges measure temperature and the pressure of steam, while some values are marked as for steam, water, or fuel oil. There is a black steel plate along the right wall near a corner.

Iron takes that hoof from the pipe like a pony touching something hot.
He proceeds to lick his hurt hoof.
"I do not think I can touch it without hurting myself."
He takes out one of the garments and wraps it around his hoof.
"One more go."
He tries again.

If brain works correctly, then I have to either turn off the furnace and then break the pipe Iron burnt himself on, or otherwise cover my hoof enough to prevent heat from hurting Iron's hoof. Breaking a cold pipe probably means no instant impact will be felt.

In any case, turning off the heat should attract at least the maid griffon.

Reee it’s bedroom
Onyx does so, perhaps not returning a friendly hiss to the other guests of the cabin. Ruby immediately run to the quilts and tries to place one over himself, while Dawson gets up and tries to walk over
“Thank you...”
Um... how many and which valves?

Onyx abandons the couch for the wooden door. Red Wine immediately jumps up to take Onyx’s place. He is join by Ruby, who crams himself on the couch as well on the remaining third. Dawson tries to cuddle up next to Rose, who is lying down on her stomach on the mattress that was dragged into the living area. He places the quilt over her and himself
