"They do not have any cocooned ponies, so we may fire at will with our explosives. I did not see any MGs, only rifles, but they may have had one out of sight."

"Hmm...I suppose there is chance, though small chance, this is group of ponies who have gotten caught in middle of this conflict. Earlier, it was reported that group of changelings arrived to reinforce existing changelings, before we attacked Whinnyton church. There is no way to be certain without testing one of them."

"While it would give away our surprise attack if it really is changelings, I can go up by myself to try to see if I can convince one to come outside."

“You can try. But the Changelings would love to take out another officer if they can. It would be very dangerous.”

“Well... your call, sergeant. If you do decide to go, alone, it might be beneficial to remind them of our larger weapons and numerical superiority. Still, they may jump at the opportunity, or even try to replace you.”

Silver nods.
"If that happens, you know what to do. I am going in."
Silver turns towards the grain elevator and marches, alone, towards it.

“Maybe we can have a look around, as long as we keep clear of changelings. An urban adventure might lift our spirits.”

“I haven’t been to a city in some time. I’m not sure myself. I’m not even sure what is allowed to be in a city under changeling rule. But I’m sure there’s something fun to do, or everyone would run away.”

Silver moves a little closer to the structure, which is dominated by concrete walls and the giant corrugated steel silos. An overly yellow tinted light shines down on a door on the square tower besides the cylinders. There are some windows on the higher levels and a walkway above the silos, but this door is central. The wind continues to carry its dry, freezing air down the valley.

Once he's gotten far enough away from the rest of his ponies, Silver calls out over the cold wind.
"If anyone is still in there, please, answer me!"

From above, a "clang clang clang." But in front of Silver, the flaking green-painted door opens, and Silver can see a muzzle poking out in part. It looks to be the white or yellow fur - hard to tell in this light - of a pony.
"And who are you?" A gruff voice answers

"Pony. Corporal Burnished Row, armorer of the 332nd supply group. And how do I know you are indeed a pony?"

"Have you ever heard of test for changeling replacement? You shine flashlight in eyes, and if it is changeling their true eyes will show behind their disguise. I have used it to detect multiple disguised changelings, including 332nd's commander and pony in charge of telephone office. I am more than willing to submit myself to be tested, if you will allow me to test you in turn."

He is silent for a moment
"Sounds like hocus pocus. All I know for damn sure is someone cut the wires on two of our trucks, and there has been plenty of shooting all day."

"Indeed there has been, my platoon has been clearing Vale of changelings since this afternoon. Entirety of town has been secured, save for here. I assure you, I have plenty of experience with this."

There is more "clang clang clang" over the silence of the alleged pony. He opens his muzzle - slightly tinted blue - to speak
"Your platoon?"

Silver nods, and lights up his horn. The blue magic glow casts enough light to show his form clearly in the darkness. He braces himself for an impending shot.
"I am Silver Sword. Platoon Sergeant Silver Sword, E Platoon."

Silver does not feel a shot. He does hear what sounds like a gun being grasped.
"And how do we know your group isn't the one destroying our vehicles and replacing our ponies?"

This is, at least, not a terrible sign.
"If I was, I would not be here, in this position. I am out in open, with no cover, completely exposed and vulnerable, and from what I hear your friends have bead on me. This is very last situation Changeling Infiltrator would want to be in."

"And tell me, Mr. 'Sword,' if that is your name, what do your friends have trained on us? Exploiting trust is how the Changelings operate."

"Anti-tank gun, mortar, some MGs, and many rifleponies. We have really, really delivered crushing blow to roaches infesting city, and their corpses litter their previous defensive positions. Despite that, I am here risking my life because there is chance you are not changelings. If you will not come out to me, I would ask you let me come over to you."

The door - which opens inwards - opens slightly more.
Inside the area is almost surprisingly cramped, with steel grates, a steel staircase going up on the left, and what seems to be a sort of augur on the right. Burnished Row, in fuller light, seems to be a bluish grey colored unicorn in full, green, Equestrian uniform. But there is another pony with him, a white pegasus, who keeps a carbine pointed at Silver.

Silver remains calm, despite the situation. The fact that they haven't shot him already is a good sign in Silver's book that they might actually be ponies. He address the two ponies.
"Alright. I am going to use my magic to take my flashlight, and give it to Burnished Row so he may test me. Is that okay?"

"You take flashlight, and directly shine it into eyes of one you are testing. It will either reflect back normally if it is pony, or reflect back like cat's eyes or let you see true color of changeling's eyes if they are changeling."

Silver slowly levitates his flashlight to Burnished Row, trying to keep his pegasus friend from shooting him.

Burnished row takes it rather quickly, looking at the flashlight, then turning it around. He unscrews the back end, pulls the batteries out, and then places the batteries back in, screwing it back together. Then, he turns it on, and points it at Silver's face, blinding Silver.
"Blue eyes" He takes a moment

Silver squints, but manages to keep his eyes open.
"Just like my normal eye color. Alright, now I will do you, with your permission."

"Alright." And he offers the flashlight back to Silver

He narrows his eyes.
His eyes are a bright yellow-gold, almost honey colored. The irises reflect back, but the whites remain white.

Silver lets out an audible sigh of relief. He turns the flashlight off.
"Thank Goddesses we checked...okay, everypony here is pony. We can all relax."
He looks over at the pegasus.
"Would you kindly lower that weapon, so I might tell my platoon to stand down?"

The pegasus doesn't seem to want to put the weapon down. At least not at first.
Burnished Row speaks:
"Is it... really so?"

Silver nods.
"It would probably still be good idea to check everypony left standing, just to make sure there are no stragglers...but yes, it is finished. Vale is liberated."
Silver nods.

"Thank Celestia. I was worried there for a while. We didn't now who was who, or what was going on."

"We got lucky. We started testing our platoon after discovering they had sabotaged communications and found two of our own had been replaced. We confronted Captain Forrester, who had also been replaced, then fighting started. But seriously, I should give my platoon code phrase and tell them to stand down, we do not want this building coming down around us."
