This is more successful, with Silver basically forcing strips into the wounds, and covering these up with more. Maybe he'll make it back to the medic. He's far from clear though, and could still die of shock.

Silver looks at the other soldiers.
"Alright, he will not die of blood loss, but he needs immediate treatment for shock or he may not make it. Make sure his throat stays open to make it easier for him to breath, and get him in bed with pillows placed under his hindquarters to keep his bottom half above his heart. It will mean his heart will not have to work as hard. I also need somepony to fetch medic immediately."

One stallion runs off, while two stallions pick him up, and another follows. They seem to want to move him into the house

The soldiers take him inside, then through the door on the left, past a bathroom, and onto a bed with a half-circle wooden headboard. He is laid down.
"Is the church cleared?" A soldier asks

The covers are already pulled down on the bed, and the private is set up right. He coughs and hacks, and his eyes are still closed. There are clothes strewn about on the floor, and one of the privates pulls up a shirt to press into the wounded soldier's sides. Another thinks of placing a coat - located on the floor - over him.
Off in the distance, there is the sound of gunfire.

"Shit...go ahead and cover him, keep him warm and keep him from choking. I need to go see what gunfire is about."

"Platoon Sergeant. You may want to see this."

Silver looks at him, and before answering, he speaks the first part of the code phrase.
"Klutzy."

The soldier leads Silver around the house, and back to the church, this time to the front. Outside of the steps of the church are two dead changelings and their rifles to the left, and a dead one on the steps. The steeple of the church lies broken across the road slightly further to the left, essentially blocking off the road. Both windows are shattered, and the white painted wood is dotted with numerous bullet holes.
"This way," the soldier says, leading him inside. It's what Silver sees here that is more troubling.
It's a layout remarkably similar to the church Silver entered before, and if anything is narrower and smaller. There is an open door with steps leading up on the left, and so many bullet holes on the walls of the foyer. The sanctuary is more austere and plain than that of the Universalist location, and at the far end above the altar, is the colored stained glass of a star with so many elements around it, with the top right point of the star shot through with a bullet. Parts of the roof have visible collapsed in and fallen down, with a hole visible above the far side. Just through the foyer, on the ground, is a fallen drone on the ground with bullet wounds, facing away from the entry door.
But it's what's in the pulpits that the soldier called Silver out to see. There are, in each pulpit, between them, and around them, numerous large "cocoons" of ominous shape. Some are white silk with dark shapes underneath, but many are more transparent - literally - in displaying their purpose. Silver can see, in a few of these, ponies suspended in liquid. Pegasi, mostly, mares more common than stallions, eyes closed in a state of torpor.

Silver stares in shock and disbelief. His jaw hangs open for quite some time.
"Что во имя Селестии...what is this? Where did they capture all of these ponies from?"
He investigates the ponies inside of their pods.

A cocoon rests on edge of a seat with darkened silk in part and transparent gossamer in part, with a few sprinkles of white sheetrock covering it. Silver can see inside an aqua colored pegasus mare with a short cut mane and slightly emaciated or wasted appearance. She wears no clothing. Her eyes are half open, as is her mouth. Her lips are contorted back to expose her teeth.

"Did changelings bring these with them for food source? They look like captured civilians, and it seem like they have been cocooned for while..."
He looks at the riflepony.
"We need to move these civilians to more secure location. Town Hall seems to have been secured, see if you can round up some soldiers to help cut these civvies out and carry them to Town Hall."

"Maybe this is why there's nopony in town" the soldier remarks.
"I don't think that's the last of the changelings in this tow" he says

"Could be. And most definitely there are still changelings here. I am just worried about these getting caught in crossfire. They already came dangerously close to getting destroyed by mortar shell."

It isn't clear that some haven't already been caught in machinegun fire, or under parts of a collapsing roof.
"Well, I think this area is secured. I think."

He sighs.
"Very well. I will accept your input. In this case...we have job to do, and town to liberate. I am going to scout grain elevator I saw earlier, it may be some changelings have taken position inside it as their base."

"Ah, thank you. I will also scout that. As for you, I recommend either joining me or joining soldiers in house I just left. Safety is found in numbers, here."

“Yes sir.”
Silver presumably regroups the entirety of A company. The rifle section has suffered one dead and one critically wounded, as well as several lightly wounded. The machine gun section has suffered one heavily wounded and one lightly wounded. Down three ponies in total, but nine remain, counting the squad leader.

Silver addresses the company.
"Alright ponies, you have done well so far, I could not be prouder. But we still have job to do. I am going to scout ahead, and see if I can not find position of remaining changelings. While I do so, there is number of cocooned civilians inside church that need to be guarded until I get back. Understood?"

"Well, miss, I don't have any real important jobs now, but if I ever do I want to do it the right way. I think taking care needs practice like anything else."

"Dismissed!"
Silver leaves them to it, so he may scout the telephone relay and grain elevator.

The wind stops, and the rattling of the flagpole at the school house ceases with it. There is no silence, but instead a new sound of thunder far down the valley. This boom is louder and lasts longer than before, and its sound is soon duplicated.
Silver is in a less dense set of dark wood ranch houses with walkways leaded up to covered porches. Some have chicken wire fences in the back, and small shed. Not far beyond the houses Silver can see the low, sagebrush covered hills.

To the top? Perhaps as much as a mile. But the hills have a low gradient with mostly gentle slopes, so they begin much closer to Silver.

"Well I don't think being a store clerk is very important, but I guess it depends on how you look at it…" she mumbles uncertainly. "Do you see something that you like?" she then asks, looking at the dress.
>>140255
She almost looks past the dresses, down between them.
"Let me ask a different way. What would you wear. A six year old you."
Let's add a diplomacy roll to this
>>140256
Not really. The Thunder comes through the valley, in the direction of the front. Though the valley is at a slightly oblique angle to the front and the western sky, as it moves southwest.

Regardless, while it is a bit of a trot, Silver decides to make it in order to get a better view of his surroundings.

"Hmm, it would depend on what my parents were able to get me, but I'd always fancied a skirt with circles of color going around, like a soft green or purple." [1d20+4 = 11]

Silver can see the geography of the town. The valley comes west from Wald and virtue along the river, as the valley narrows and hills become taller. The town lies at a bend in the valley, where it turns south. There is a large hill just to the west and north of the town, and a gap in the hills going northwest where there is a rail line and telegraph wires. The valley itself is wide enough to have irrigated farmland to either side of the Misfortune River that flows through it, and is much wider east, especially much further east. Silver can see the top of the county courthouse, the town hall, both churches, and to either side, the dairy processing facility and the lone grain elevator. Besides the fields by the river, and the small town, the whole area looks like semi desert, with the mountains of what must be the Unicorn Range in the far distance, and endless brown hills dotted with shrubs and occasionally cut up with barbed wire fences.

She looks to Amber, then down at the row of dresses, and pulls one out with a flash of magic. The dress has a lighter green color, though one sort of like the dress she is already wearing.
"I'll take this one."

The grain elevator is between Old Mecc's Trail Road and the railway in the east side of town, towards Wald. It has four tall silos one next to the other, with a steel tower at the end, and a steel overheard conveyer above all. There are three lights on at the facility. There are also three trucks visible, all Army supply trucks
