The coffins are unloaded off the train, one by one. There is a cover the size of a bed sheet to help keep them out of view, but the sight of a coffin is enter to deter most of the curious

Spark is able to find something like a larger and stronger hotel luggage art, that seems to be made for moving baggage around within the train station.

"Then we need to find somewhere to duck behind for a second to get them out. We might draw a few suspicious looks with wolves getting out of the coffins."

Spark, thus far, has found that the area behind the trains is not currently being used (it's another passenger platform with no train at the moment), and perhaps if the coach cars don't have ponies inside looking out, they would block the line of sight. Another option is to try to open them back inside of the baggage car, and see if the wolves themselves can be smuggled out.
A third option is to search the Train Station again

The train station is composed of a number of white concrete island platforms, that connect by open stairways to a pathway above. Spark's train arrived on one of the further platforms. Anything occurring on the furthest platform will be visible to anyone inside of the coach cars who happens to be looking out the right window, and to certain people looking down from the walk way. But it's certainly possible no one would be watching. The sheet covering over the coffins can be used to help cover the line of sight.

Iron finds himself in the upper office of the boat company, with light from a lone window behind him, and staring at an overly fat brown griffin sitting behind a wooden desk that's been turned over on its side. White Sands stands close and just to the right of the griffin, staring at him.
>>140494
She closes her lips and slightly narrows her eyes, smiling all the same.
"You're almost cute, so innocent and cheery." She starts to move back, then asks
"How would you like to make some more money?"

She waves a hoof in the air
"He'll tell you. I have a meeting to get to"
Her smile is one again more toothy, as she holds the dress higher with her magic
"Try to keep that cheeriness as long as you can. You'll miss it when it's gone."
She begins to walk away. Her tail is curled and styled.

"Like you don't know we are the strongest family run business in Manehattan? A third of the canneries, a quarter of all construction. Half of the garbage collection. And so many bars, nightclubs, and pizzerias. What don't we own?"

More customers come in and High Sewn returns.
Some of these clothes have bizarrely complicated names. "un imperméable" for a raincoat? Guy runs over to insist that it's pronounced in a different way.

Spark, with the doctor helping, pushes the cart along to the upper walkway, then down the to bottom, trying to park the cart behind a walkway to obscure it. The doctor holds up the sheet as they pull down the three coffins.

Amber doesn't press the issue. After all, High Sewn just had to pay for an expensive new window and Amber is much more optimistic today in terms of finances.
Amber sees tonight that there are two additional waiters working tonight. These are Cream Pop, an orange unicorn stallion with a poofy, cream colored mane, and Larkhaven, a white unicorn mare with silver earrings, and dark blood red mane that is held up in a "hive" style. The next big change is that the patio section is open tonight, with some fires and a canvas to break to wind. It's Winter, and today especially has been cloudy with some light rain earlier, so it's questionable how appealing this would be to customers, but the decision has been made to keep it open.
De Sew retains the section she had yesterday, which is
four combination booth-and-tables, and three tables. All in the front.
Melon Mangrove gets the six other tables in the front. Again, parties are preferred here if possible, but De Sew's section and the patio. are options
Cream Pop takes the five booths
Larkhaven gets every table of two in the restaurant, which is six high tables for two, and two on the patio.
Mustard Trim is placed on the patio with six tables of four.

There are currently:

two tables taken in Mangrove's
Two booths taken in Cream Pop's section
Three high tables taken (Larkhaven)
And one table outside (Mustard Trim)
Note that the shifts of some of the waiters - like Larkhaven and Mustard Trim - begins at the same time as Amber

She greets her co-workers. "Nice to meet you, Larkhaven. Hello Mustard, good to see you today! Do I look presentable enough as a hostess?" She starts fussing with and straightening her hair and dress.
>>140533
She turns to Amber. Her eye lashes are thin, but long, and she wears mascara
"So you must be the new hostess."
She turns to Amber and grins, but turns away and moves over to her position rather than striking up conversation
Mustard Trim, however, sticks around
"Hi Amber! Don't worry. If anything, you look terrific."

"You seem to work fast," Iron commended with a stoic look as he started to do the math on his head. If this was true, then he'd have an easier time finding the next business to punch over.
"Any big company in particular?" he prodded further.

Iron would soon plant a foreleg on the table the griffon accountant was standing behind, giving the hen a deadpan look. "I am not giving you an option," he stressed. "Either you cooperate, or you will join your workmates."

"I don't know. I wouldn't be surprised if it only exists in Manehattan."

"Originally from Falcor. Not the brightest in the group, but he's been creative and clever. It was he who thought ahead to buy this place, and who first suggested to come here until the storm dies down. He was an ordinary soldier but proved himself capable and willing to do what was necessary against the Rosenthal Clan. For that, he was allowed to marry into the family and head a section. He can be violent and brutal as necessary. He prefers the services of a hired agent known as Koptis. He is here, likely in the Royale ."

"Koptis... 'Cutter,' as he is called. I am not sure what his real name is, not that it matters for somecreature from obscure origins. He is what we would call a 'Hitgrif.' A professional killer. But he is no griffin. A minotaur of the outer islands who fled to Equestria after killing a policeman there. You can call him a member or call it business. He isn't quite family, but he is loyal all the same."

Looks like Iron will actually fight a minotaur like he said.
inb4 Koptis is actually a Black Hooves member.
"Sounds like a formidable foe," Iron claimed, grinning softly at the idea of fighting him after a good rest to regain his energy. (So beating up those two should provide a good scare.)
"Is he the best fighter the family has in store?" he asked.

With that said, he removed his foreleg from him and turned around, starting to walk towards the exit of the room, hoping to go straight to the Royale and see what's this minotaur's like.

Iron leaves easily enough from the building. As promised, the building is only a few streets away. It's a free standing building, unlike so many packed into small lots or as part of larger structures in the city. Seems to be one floor, with a high, gradually sloping red tile roof. Outside are several carts, and two automobiles. None especially stand out.

The restaurant has a vestibule, which Iron can go through, and see that it has a long counter on the right towards the back, a couple doors in the back, a counter in the front off to the left of where they enter, and some number of tables, with a couple booths recessed in by the walls. Tables are a lighter wood color, while booths have a red tint on their leather seats. There is no hostess, at least not at this time of day, and there a low - but definitely present - number of customers. They are all ponies, and sit around at one booth and a few tables. Two servers are seen, who move quickly and look uneasy

Iron raised an eyebrow at the servers' uneasy look, feeling Koptis has already been dispatched.
(No minotaur yet,) he noted as he decided to simply take a seat on one of the tables alongside Sands. (The queasy ponies should probably know about him.)

Approaching the telephone office from whinny to , there is a crafts store, then the post office, and then after another 60 feet, the telephone office. Staying close on the side walk close up puts the ponies out of the line of fire of the machine gun, but it’s perfectly visible to anyling looking down from the roof, and there are several creatures on the roof with rifles. It’s one thing to approach without being shot at by the machine gun, and another to not be noticed or shot at at all. There are perhaps 5 or six helpers on the roof. The roof is approximately 11 or 12 feet above the ground. Just getting to the Whinnyton side without being shot may be an issue, if it requires crossing Old Mecc - which the machine gun is set up to shoot down

Silver finds himself at a small building that has a liquor store underneath, and a residence above. He is across Old Mecc Road from where he wants to be - a barber shop, with a residence above. Does he have the rifle section get in place, cover fire, and run across, or does his group move further away so they can go around the long way to get into the building from Main street?

When Silver gets there, he finds that the lock on the door has been broken, and the door simply opens.

It's a short flight of stairs up to an enclosed hallway. There is a door to the left. Silver finds that this door likewise is broken, simply opening. Silver enters into a living room with a couch and a radio, as well as a potted plant and a painting of a mare lying on a couch.. On the right side is a small kitchen. On the right side away from him is a little area with a dining table, and two windows, one of which faces old mech and another faces towards the telegraph office. Silver's group may or may not be visible from that window just standing near the kitchen. On the side opposite Silver is a wall, with a door and a room there, and then on the left side, a couple doors and a wall

Yes if he looks out the window, but it's important to be careful not to be seen looking through it.
Which window does he look out of?

Silver can see that the other section took up at the duplex just a couple blocks down, and are trying to take shots from behind cover with the machine gun and their rifles, though mostly they stay low

They have come through the door and entered the room. They are staying back thus far, not being given more specific orders. Silver has six in total: three rifleponies (scouts), the Machine gunner, and assistant machine gunner (who has a rifle), and a corporal who has the one submachine gun

Silver peaks through the window facing the post office, to see if he can see the changeling position.

Mind you, it isn't verified that these are actual changelings, given the pony appearence and Equestrian uniforms and equipment. Silver can see the machine gun is aiming and firing in the direction of the duplec, with one machine gunner who is trying to stay low on the gun, and an assistant feeding a belt. In front of the gun is a pony with a rifle who is crouching down. There are two rifleponies(?) on the right, keeping down, but trying to peak up occasionally in the direction of Old Mecc. One is to the right and is kneeling with his rifle at the Duplex. Another alleged pony tries to move over to the right, to maintain a view down main.
This is 5 creatures with rifles in total, and two directly handling the machine gun

It's simple enough to prop the end of the gun up on a chair or move the table and set up the bipod, with a little room for the assistant machine gunner to change the magazine - a nice earth pony and unicorn pair, each playing to their strengths. But two things are notable. One, the windows are closed, and who knows if they can be opened without being seen or heard. The first shot might just have to be through the glass. Second, there is only one window facing the post office in the dining room

She pauses for a just a moment
"Are you.... heh, talking about the new comers?"
>>140639
Silver opens the door in the room. This looks to be a bedroom, and a comparatively small one. There is a bed on the right that is perpendicular to the entryway with the covers pulled down, a stuffed Ursa toy lying on its side by the ground, a metal toy dump truck near the entrance, a dresser with a couple ropes and some pieces of paper (maybe tickets) on the wall to the left of the door, and on the right wall is a small closet with both doors open, and several items of clothing torn down and on the floor.
What Silver is really looking for is a window. And there is one. Rectangular, with shades half way down, approximately center, and located just beyond the bed, in an area perhaps three and a half feet where somepony could walk. There is a lamp on a small table in the left corner.

Looking into the next room, Silver can see a long and thin bath room, with a sink nearer and a bathtub, then toilet further away. Just above the toilet is a window, which logically should face towards the post office.
The room after that is accessed by a door at the end of the hallway. Entering into this room, there is a long wall facing Main that has a few windows, and a Queen sized bed with the covers down up against the wall opposite the telephone exchange. There is a painting of what looks like an urban cafe in some up-scale location (Canterlot?) on the wall. There are two dressers to the right of the door and on the opposing side, on each of which is a framed black and white photograph. One looks to be of a unicorn couple with a colt, and another of the same three unicorns, with the colt holding a lasso at what appears to be a rodeo. There is a closed door to a closet near the bed, to the left of the entry door. On the ground, between the bed and the dresser, is a revolver with the cylinder open. It looks to be a magnum. There are several cartridges next to it, with perhaps one loaded in the cylinder.
On the wall opposite of the bed is a larger window. It faces the telephone exchange.

Silver also instructs the ponies present to use this window. He also tells them to use any furniture available to add extra cover to the walls to make them harder to shoot through.
He also decides to take a look in the bedroom's closet.

It's entirely possible for the ponies to move the dressers next to the wall, though perhaps a bit difficult to do in extremely short time.
Looking in the closet is a rain coat, and more than one white laboratory coat. There are a few types of shoes, both formal and for mud.

Silver is somewhat perplexed as to why the magnum was left here in its current state. It looks like it was dropped in the middle of loading. As for the dressers, as long as it doesn't take 10 minutes, they likely have enough time to move them.

It's much less than ten minutes, but there is and would be a cessation of the engagement of the element on the roof and the other half of the squad

Alrighty. Once that's done, Silver informs the ponies quietly to begin their attack on his mark.

Machine gunner and assistant (who has a rifle) in the dining room, a rifle pony in the bedroom, a rifle pony in the bathroom, and perhaps two in the Master bedroom, Silver has them positioned.
Be advised of two things - Silver's squad must shoot through glass, and the enemy will not be suppressed when the attack starts.

The windows unlock from the inside and can be lifted. What is more questionable is whether the creatures on the roof top not so far away will fail to notice the sound and movement

Well, then I suppose they're as ready as they can be.

While there is no room in the bathroom, Silver could conceivably squeeze in in either bedroom or the dining room.

The machine gunner and the assistant. The wall isn't necessarily thick. This window is fairly close to the enemy machine gun, as the gun is placed off center.
Now, what orders to give?
