The Baltimare group proceeds in their task of investigating a strange group of creatures, mostly Griffins, who seem to be involved in creature smuggling. Up on the Boulderfield,-Whinnysota line, the northern group settles in for a cold night along with their new friends and prisoners.

Humming deeply, he turns to Skies, hoofing over his flashlight
"Hold this for me. I'm opening up a path."
With that, he places his hindlegs in the optimal bucking position, hooves lightly trailing the ground in search for leverage as his back properly accomodates the upcoming action.
First, he attempts an accurate buck to test the strength of this hollow wall.

"If you would be willing to wait little bit longer, or else come with us, we will see what can be done about getting you processed through Customs, get you sent back to Western Equestria through official channels. That might calm at least some fears of my comrades."

This is the circumstance I feel that Dark Star's input is most missed. Maybe he'd be fine with just deporting the Changeling Succubus. Maybe he'd interrogate her more and ask her more questions. Maybe he'd blow her head off then and there. Maybe he's draft her into a small army, composed of all of the creatures the Maakie and his henchgriffins have ever oppressed and pissed off, which he'd lead in a pitched battle against them. But I know he'd have a strongly worded and asserted opinion on the matter

GM won't stop sending me the lyrics of In the Arms of an Angel, so apparently we're playing?

He has difficulty placing it precisely, but as best as he can tell from depiction in a radio broadcast he heard a while ago, it’s an accent of the Northern Ponies, particularly of Griffonia
She snaps her tail
“How could I know? I don’t exactly get days and nights down here. It must have been months. How are you ponies holding off the invasion, by the way?”

"Empathy. I can put myself in her horseshoes, even if I have never been in her situation, and I know that even if I would not expect it, I would hope that I would be helped, if I was in her position, or if our positions were reversed. And I have found that you can bring best out of others, even those you would otherwise dislike, by treating them with same kindness, dignity, and respect you would expect for yourself.
"Besides, how could I claim to be follower of Harmony if I did not follow its most basic tenets?"

He looks over briefly, then a way, and he opens his mouth as if to say something. For more than a moment, the words evade him, and whatever he wanted to say he fails to say it.
After a while, he conquers whatever was inhibiting him, and speaks in a set of words that are fast and forced, as if he has given up hope of the words having impact, and now hopes only that they are heard at all
“She was caged here, you know? She collaborated with them to be sure, but... it’s easy to collaborate when you’re kind of forced to”
>>116338
“Completely? I don’t know. I don’t imagine many. They always found a few drops more could come out even when it seemed the last bits were gone. That’s why they kept the cocoons here.”

He nods. "It takes strength to speak out, and risk everything. I do not entirely blame those who do not. Some just need to see others speak out first to find courage to join them."

She looks way, and answers almost indifferently
“That they were cruel. Even by pony standards. They saw these creatures as completely disposable to them. They thought of me as a machine to extract magic from any number of creatures I never knew existed, and to make into honey. They would force feed me, make me cocoon prey. I don’t think they really understood the process. They didn't understand that a creature must find something it loves to be harvested effectively. I don’t think they really cared. They wanted to honey. I suspect they had other uses for these creatures. Conditions are horrible here. Always trapped in this tiny cell. No room to move. I cannot fly. None of my brothers or sisters to see or talk to. A dim, obnoxious yellow light that’s on almost all hours of the day, and total darkness when it isn’t. They chain me down with multiple restraints that ache and chafe. They won’t come near me without sone kind of magical inhibitor - they know better than to do that. There is nothing to do all day. Endless boredom. Not even tiles on the ceiling to count. The temperature is never right, always too hot or too cold. It’s too moist.”
She looks down to the floor
“And then they force me to regurgitate honey... I don’t want to, but if I don’t they will shock me, so I do it without being told now. But they often don’t believe me and shock me again...”
>>116342
He looks at Silver, silent for more than a moment, then slowly makes a half nod

“ they extracted her. What else?”
he creature - Zwolf - comes closer towards the bar, standing up, and walking forward, low to the ground, in a manner almost like a stalking lion. She has a big, malign grin on her face that shows off her fangs - not to imply those could be hidden.

Mala looks as if he's suffering something along the lines of stage fright, or fear of public speaking. He opens his mouth, lets out some sound, looks away, quickly looks back to Silver, then looks away, swallows, and then speaks to his audience of one pony:
"I-I came to Equestria when I was a cub. maybe four. My father disappeared, or left maybe a year later. I don't actually know what happened. My mother was strong, assertive. But some times she got frustrated. She got angry. And then some years ago, she got melancholia... It was hard. I got a job and lost it. Mom died... I lost the studio apartment. I was homeless for a while. I found the three gnolls. I had seen them before, during that time I went to school. But they let me do work, and it seemed like a good thing. I had food. Somewhere to sleep where the wind did not blow."
At this point, he looks on into the distance, and tilts his head, in evident contemplation

Mala looks over, and is a little startled and surprised to see his audience grow to two ponies and a kirin. Maybe even a changeling.
"As I said to.... Silver? Silver here, there was a third. The others have been vague, but he must have died when the military raided here."

"I don't think it was a pony's version of friendship. He would yell at me if I did something wrong, and occassionally mock me. I didn't like that. But we were together often. We ate together, we slept together, we worked together. He was Kaftar, like me. The griffins, who do not know gnolls very well, thought we were brothers. In some ways it was like that."

"I don't know the word. Race? That could be it. It's a group of gnolls further to the south. Near the mountains of the Karkadann. It was its own country for a while. I think. I don't know, I didn't finish school. I wasn't good at school while I was there. Not that they said anything about gnolls anyways... I am just repeating what other gnolls told me.

"That is question we have all been trying to find answer to. It might have been we grew too weak, ourselves, in our complacency. It might be we have forgotten what Harmony truly means. It might be something infected our country from inside, rotting it out. Or, it might very well be something else, or any combination of them."
