They both look back at Dark Star with anxious expressions. Khoi Lau is curious but concerned, while Mala is more fearful. Neither volunteers anything immediately. After a couple seconds, Mala (a sheathed curved sword on his back), answers
0Sure?”

Silver opens the door, exposing all of the contents of the room, and notices all of the following in approximately reverse order. The walls are a yellowish tan color, presumably the original mortar. Half of the room, to Silver’s right, has a set of cells, looks like at least three of them connected. The base of the cells are wrought iron, sometimes painted black and sometimes rusted. The bars are more often a new looking, shinier, grey-er zinc-coated steel. The floors inside the cells are darker grey, probably covered in cement or mortar. There is a pail near the center, and on the left is a table with a set of bikes, labels, and a jar or two. Even a safe.
But whatever is on the left is positively alien or horrifying. There is a large black object of hardened gossamer and silk, or whatever other organic matter. Some of this is simply strewn across the floor, some in a drained tube, but some in a large cocoon-like object. Through transparent gossamer exterior, and suspended in green-tinted translucent liquid is a pony. Maybe pony isn’t the right word. She’d be tall if she could stand, bigger than a normal pony and with slimmer built features. She has a longer horn and a longer muzzle, and a beige-cream coat that is almost white in color. Her hair is a light brown in color and floats in the liquid. Her eyes are wide open and are a bluish color. Not a healthy, natural blue, like it were the color she was born with, but a the sickly milky blue of the blind. If she is aware, it’s not reflected in movement, as she does not react in any kind of way as Silver enters.
And yet, even that scene is not the first any pony entering the room was notice. Over in a cell is a pony, a small mare. Her cells is distinguished by a red painted band overtop of it, but otherwise is indistinct as the central cells. She’s a unicorn, a milky white color coat, and a light red mane bordering on pink. Something in her pale coat looks almost like a crystal pony, and her mane is held together in braids. She has light green eyes that look right at Dark Star.
“Are you here for me?” She asks, in an accent that is present but hard to classify. She stands up and moves over with hooves that are each chained down by steel.

Silver's eyes go wide upon seeing the monstrosity to his left. He knows exactly what that is. He turns to the captive in the room.
"Why is there changeling cacoon in this room?"

There’s almost an exasperation to her voice as she tries to move forward, but is stopped by the restraints
“I do not know. I think they are draining ponies.”

Dark Star's jaw is agape as he takes in the room
As she speaks to him it snaps him out of the Semi-Trance he was in
"Uh yea,Whats going on here?"

"Hmm...if you would, hold still please." To be sure, he gets out his flashlight, shining it in the mare's eyes to make sure she's not a changeling.

Silver nods. "I know, and you will. Can you give me clear sight of chains? I will try to break them."

Silver has an epiphany (accompanied by a facehoof) that he is, in fact, not a very smart pony. He proves this by getting out the keys he picked off the female gnoll, and seeing which one fits the cell door the mare is locked in.

Does not work, does not work, does sort work, does... wait, jingle it a little more. Maybe? No, it does not work. Does not work... hey, this one works! A black almost L-shaped key fits in and turns, opening the door. A horseshoe hung over head on a rail jingles as it hits the door

Well... either way, it looks like he breaks her out of the shackles, with her jumping and clearly relieved to be out of the restraints

She stops near the door but sort of blocked by Mala and Khoi, looks back to him, and smiles
“What was it you had in mind? Did you want to take me home?”

"I'm just looking out for another pony is all, I Guarantee if you get captured by a local gang it'll be a lot worse than the changelings."

Silver moves to block her, put off by the way she acted. "One thing, before you go: I still need to make sure you are not changeling."

Silver simply blocks her again, not having any of her shit. "You take test, I let you go. You refuse, I put you right back in that cell, because I still have no explanation for that cacoon and who made it, and you have been wholly uncooperative so far."

Silver will not let her. It is probably best she just gives in and accepts the test.

Silver draws his sword. "Three."
Unless she gives in or Dark Star orders Silver otherwise, the mare should probably roll initiative.

From her position on the ground, she jumps up, lands hooves on top of Silver’s back - which gives an unambiguous sting because this tugs on the stitched skin - skirts the low hanging ceiling, and lands before Mala and Khoi. Khoi looks offended
“His back is injured”
She still has to get past Khoi and Mala, but she has jumped over Silver
>>115912
Silver presses her up, and while she may well skirt the ceiling more than if he did not, it does not stop her. It does strain his back more though

He cracks the skull with that second pommel strike. She’s sure as shit not preying on any ponies tonight, he can be sure of that....
Or maybe not. I guess Silver can hold his swing
Either way,
Khoi jumps the hell back, started by the alien creature
“Mot kohimo!”
Mala comes closer to the creature, and looks at it with sober fascination
“So they did have one. An Obanje”

There's not many other options for Silver if Dark Star is going to want her conscious. Maybe Silver could try again? He just needs to get it so he can tie her up.
