Up in the North, the ponies have successfully found who, or rather, what was damaging the mine. But their quest is not over, as they go to look for the source of the trouble. In Baltimare, Iron, Silver, and Dark Star enjoy the fruits of defeating the cultists, while Midnight herds the remaining rescues.

Silver hold the taxi door for Jubilosa to get in first, then gets in himself.
"Eastside Tavern, if it pleases you."

Judging that the intent behind opening the door was as a sign of courtesy, rather than to imply that she was weak and incapable, Jubilosa ultimately decides to smile at this gesture. She gets in next to him, and the pegasus places the automobile in gear, and drives.
Jubilosa is startled by the sudden increase in speed and holds onto Silver, and continues to do this for essentially the entire trip. Griffin talons are sharp.

The Silver pony ultimately doesn't mind, holding Jubilosa in turn. Pony hooves are not quite as sharp as talons. He looks over at her.
"I do not know how long you will be staying for, but I suppose it would be good idea to know not only what you can eat, but what you like to eat."

"Well, to begin with I just wanted to understand what was going on in the world. Then when I learnt what happend,-" She says sarcastically. "-I thought you were at war with the changelings or were preparing for it, which made me want to join you in that fight. Now that I know that you're not gonna do anything, I want to join so that I can go up in ranks and change your stupid organisation from the inside to one that is less passive and mroe aggressive," Fantasy explains.

"Any kind of processed or baked wheat good, rice, potato, or sugar. Most fruits, even apples. Tomatoes were a favorite. But please, no hay, greens, leaves, grass, alfalfa. We like fish and squid. It's one of the biggest parts of the diet in Sicameon. While most griffins don't actually eat much meat, that's because it's expensive. We like animal flesh more than almost anything else."

"I was not born this way. Nor did I become like this through being 'passive.' Ponykind is special among all creatures. Ponykind learned the ways of friendship and Harmony. Ponykind learned the secrets of Magic, and built and Empire that lasted a thousand years. The Griffins couldn't even make it 250. And Ponykind found its place as guardian over nature. Master over the weather. Master even, over the sun and moon. Faustian civilization is precious, and very much worth preserving. But it must be preserved by Iron and Blood. Lots of Iron, and lots of Blood. And no matter what that purple pretender princess thought, it will not be preserved or spread by prostrating down before non-pony cultures. Ponies must recognize their strength, or else, the light of Faustian Civilization will be extinguished. Either conquered, or fall into its long night.
What you must understand is that Ponykind, and Faustian Civilization as a whole, is under attack from every direction. Writers and playwrites who want to say that Ponykind has always been 'oppressive' or colonial towards non-ponies and various groups, who want to 'liberate' ponies from traditions. Communists, who want to eliminate all nations and cultures, and subject all races to the rule of the lowest common denominator. The "Equestrian Liberation Front," who rightly want to restore their nation, but who wrongly think that giving it back to the Purple Princess will mean anything other than its slow disintegration. Griffins - many, many different griffin nations, who seek to take pony land. And yes, even the Changelings.
What you've encountered are the provisions of the Marelotov-Buggentrop Pact. It's the Peace Treaty that allowed Pony rule to remain in the Eastern half of the country, even as Equestria lost the war. This Pact also allows us to - for now - focus our attention on the Griffin and Hippogriff Menace abroad. We cannot now afford a two front war, and any measure that delays a war with the Changelings gives us time to build up our forces and defenses. We are not foolish. We do not expect the Changelings to maintain this pact for forever. But we are not going to be the ones to break it. Not yet. Not until our Griffonian land is secured. Not until we have convinced the Equestrian population to fight under us. Then - if Chrysalis will not accept an offer of non-pony lands in exchange for pony lands - we will be ready for that fight."

"Ahh," she gasps. "I'm alive."
She then sticks out her tongue at the stallion.

She smiles at him playfully.
"Okay okay," she says and she makes a clam-down motion with her hooves. "I see now that you aren't actually naive and do have a plan that I find resonable. While I still I'm sceptical, to say to say the least, about the civil war and who's responsible, I think that right now the best option is your plan. So, I would like to join you to fight for our right to exist as ponies, but not for this Duke, that I don't even remotely trust."

"Duke Erebus Haygle is a respected former professor of Philosophy who has written extensively on the place of Faustian Civilization and ponykind in History. He is also the elected President of the New Mareland State, and has been the leader of the Blackhooves political party of New Mareland. Unlike the purple princess, she can be trusted to never place the interests of his ponies below that of foreign non-ponies. There is much more to be said about this civil war, but that is a long discussion."
>>128605
She twists her head in a way that would hardly be possible for anycreature other than an avian.
"Stroganoff? Uh... what is that?"

"Yes, he is also one of two ponies who caused the greatest spillage of pony blood in history but I'm sure his résumé is flawless, But it's all water under the bridge to me, or blood in this case."

Aww. Don't worry, he will still make some for her, he just wants a chance to show off his culture to Khoi and Jubilosa.
Also, it's hard to imagine what human foods would look like for pony diets.
"Oh, I suppose it would be good to know ingredients. It has egg noodles, mushrooms, cream of mushroom soup, and sour cream."

He shakes his head
"That distinction belongs to Queen Chrysalis. But if you are really interested, there may a volunteer brigade to place you in. We are certainly short staffed. Obviously, proper membership requires an oath of allegiance to the duke himself... but there is more than one way to cooperate, than proper membership"
>>128612
"Uh.... yeah. Sure" she says
"I'm kind of surprised to see those things in a pony dish"

I had many ideas for characters this time around. I had a character, who was a bard and used a therminal as her instrument. Thought I would mention it.

"In Baltimare, the biggest menace to stability tends to be the Popular Front. Communists and Anarchists. We have a few, smaller tasks. A few days ago we came upon the safehouse of a communist group in Southern Baltimare. They may still have weapons there. We also found information concerning Anarchist cooperation with the Popular Front. Likewise, we believe the ELF is consorting with foreign groups to sabotage buildings."

"The ELF is the Equestrian Liberation Front. It's a group of naive ponies who think that undermining the occupation force will do anything other than give the Changelings an opening to invade."

She pulls away, but Silver still gets a good feel of her. Nice and slim.
On a side note, Silver better not be allergic to cats

I'm assuming this means that Silver wants the Taxi to remain there. If so, the taxi waits
