Getting out of the wind is determined most of all by buildings. While some avenues have wind that blow straight through them, those going the opposite direction have buildings blocking the wind. There are some ponies outside, and some vehicles, but it's rather few, almost surprisingly so. The area becomes more dense, with some shops on the buildings. Brick architecture dominates, with many buildings three or four or more stories in height.

With no real direction for Spark to follow, he heads to the nearest street turn off to get out of the wind.

Some ponies look over at this, stand for a moment, and then look away

Waabishki tries to set the coffin down, followed by the doctor.

Makade:
"We could go further." Then when it is set down
"Or not..."

He looks over at the procession strangely, and turns his head away at an angle

"I suppose you're new to this city. The hospital is about six blocks down until you get to Red Trout, then go until you get to Tarruga, take a right, then you'll know when you see it on the left."

But the pony proceeds onwards, away from the group.

Spark proceeds down Gusty Avenue just fine, and the same down Red Trout.

Spark comes to his first questionable area after intersecting Tarruga. Spark can see that there is a simple barricade with an armored car behind it forming a checkpoint, and at least three changeling drones manning it. The checkpoint is actually in a different direction from the hospital, at least according to the directions, but it's an unsettling sight behind them

There seem to be remarks from the drones, but nothing that can't be ignored.

Spark and friends(?) proceed down the road. As the pony on the streets told them there is a large building of brick and windows at least four stories tall on the left, with a road leading up to what seems to be an entrance

The doctor
"Yes. That's it."

If by "missing out on," you mean being stopped by military police, receiving wrong directions, or getting lost, then you're right.

Don't worry. Dumb luck alone can't get Spark through the next section

Spark and crew arrive at the entrance of the hospital. A couple ponies outside, walking by, stop and stare at the procession

It definitely looks like there could be some areas. There is a loading dock, and much further back, there is a walled in little building with large smoke stacks that, in anycase, has bricks around it. There is also a small area recessed into the ground with stairs leading to it that evidently goes down to an entrance to a basement, or some kind of subterranean level. All of these require the creatures to move in front of windows that are above and could theoretically see it, although the basement entrance is closest, and the wall is furthest away. The wall has the most cover for the actual activity

It's another long movement of several hundred feet across grass and the procession would look very odd to any outsider, but the creatures make it there. There are three sides, absent actually entering

A pony crosses the street, but it's simple enough to wait them out. It's impossible to say what is seen from windows, as these are black tinted.

The wall on the left side from the road, and nearest the ponies, is the most visible to windows. The wall next to the road is most visible from the road.

It is worth the risk of exposing what somepony might see in the window as chances are, it is a sick pony that can't do much to alert anypony to what is happening.

Spark goes perhaps behind the wall, or in the segment in front of them.

Waabiski, then the doctor, and then Makade set the coffin down. It's Miskobag himself who opens the lid

"Are we here? Why are still outside?"

Makade:
"What if this had been a search! Play dead!"

Waabishki:
"Not yet. But we are going to move you into.... what did you call it?"

Doctor:
"A stretcher"

Miskobag
"After travelling in that, heh, I'd love a chance to stretch"

A small argument breaks out over the rifle. Makade tries to pick it up

The doctor
"Where are you going to hide that? You can't be seen with that."

Waabishki
"Why did you bring that?"

Makade:
"I'm not going anywhere unarmed, especially far from home"

Waabishki
"Just put it away"

Makade:
"Well it can't stay here"

Spark needs to persuade her to give a pony outside of the organization a stretcher.

Anyways, the grey earth pony mare tells Spark,
"Oh. Well if it's urgent, we have some in that room there. On the left, down the hall."

Spark takes the stretcher out and brings it to the creatures

Miskobag actually is standing at the moment, but he seems fine to move into the stretcher when it comes
"I can walk... But stairs... that may be a challenge."

Makade places the rifle next to Miskobag - or tries to - trying to hide it under his fur. This action displeases Miskobag and the doctor.
