There are some sounds of movement, and some shapes seen moving in the darkness, though not much can be seen from Silver's position

"I was part of a section charged with making sure firearms and parts were in working order before final distribution, as well as heavier maintenance of returned non-functioning guns. We were set up in a few ranch houses in the east of the town.
I first noticed yesterday, a couple ponies were acting oddly. The ammunition distribution section... The ponies there, I knew them. Rather friendly. They were oddly off. Then Sergeant Circling Camp didn't seem to remember a shipment we received just earlier the same day. I went back with the Bakery group, who were set up here for dinner. then nightfall came. And things got really weird. A couple of the ponies in my section fell ill and went to sleep early. Then a couple ponies who went deeper into town did not return.... I saw a door left open in a house. I had seen the ponies in there. Some locals who did not leave. The lights were on inside the house and the back door was wide open. I decided to take a couple ponies, and go join the bakery group. We knew the situation was off. We didn't want to go to the captain, so we went to the telephone office instead. That's when we learned that the wires were cut. So we left back to the grain elevator, and fortified ourselves here. We heard gunshots and crashes in the town. We sent out a pair to investigate. We decided we'd drive directly back to Wald to tell command. But the trucks had their ignition wires cut. These trucks had not moved from in front of the grain elevator all day! Then a pony in our group disappeared when he was tasked with flying out over the hill line. So we've remained holed up in here. We were sure the Changelings must know we were here since they probably captured our scouts. They’d come for us sooner or later. We fortified with what weapons we had.
We saw your group enter. It was reassuring that you came from the direction of Virtue, but down the valley and Benson were supposed to be pony controlled as well, so who knows if the Changelings just sent their own reinforcements around through the hills up north. That may have been where they came from anyways. Then we heard more gunshots and battles, and we had no idea if there were other hold outs being destroyed by the changelings or if the changelings themselves were being cleared out. Today, just a couple hours ago, we fixed the ignition on one of the trucks, so a couple volunteers left in it to go back to Wald.”

"That falls in line with other stories I have heard. You will be happy to know we discovered locations of your missing ponies. One changeling we managed to capture told us their locations, and we have since verified they told us truth. We could use your help freeing them from their cocoons and bringing them back to safe locations in town hall and courthouse, and I can see about getting help with fixing your trucks."

"That's very much a relief." He moves forward, and tries to poke his head out, but ultimately does not.
"Is it over?"

"I believe so. It is still good idea to travel in pairs or groups of three or more, but we cleared last pocket of changeling resistance when we assaulted dairy plant."

"I will go back to my Platoon Guide, give him orders on what to do, then I will go and let Command know of what has transpired here."

Silver looks at him, smiles, then goes back into the cold night air to return to his platoon.

"They are ponies. They noticed their former platoon mates had started to act weird yesterday, then when changelings started capturing and replacing ponies last night sounds of fighting drove this group to take cover in grain elevator. They have trucks, but changelings cut ignition wires to keep them from escaping and alerting Command. If we can fix them, we will have more trucks and more ponies to help free cocooned ponies."

He lowers his rifle to his side
"Good. And good thing we did not fire. I am sending the truck through then, to Wald, if it is not likely to be ambushed."

"It is very good thing we did not fire. You should be well commended for giving that advice."
He looks in the direction of Wald.
"I will leave that decision to you, Sergeant. I have to give report to Command on what has transpired here. While I do so, I want you to direct teams to fix 332nd's trucks and recover cocooned ponies. Civilians are located in Whinnyton church and schoolhouse, members of 332nd are in courthouse and dairy plant, and there are others located in basement dwellings of abandoned ranch houses. If any civilians are encountered, instruct our ponies to verify they are ponies, then ask for any assistance with freed ponies if they can give it. I would also recommend setting freed ponies somewhere safe and warm. Town Hall and Courthouse, perhaps, or in front of fireplace."

There are a couple lights in the distance, though they belong to a farm house, and not a town or city. Though it is night, Silver can see the outline of fields, the river, the trees by it, and the mountains to either side, all under an empty, star-studded sky.
"Yes sir. We'll get to it right away."
Amber Grain moves off. And from the direction of the town, a truck drives, headlights shining, in the direction of Virtue and Wald.

Silver heads for town to get back to Town Hall, but he hopes he can intercept the truck before it passes him.

Green painted two and a half ton 6x6 general purpose truck, covered hear bed. Equestrian Army.
A pony in the drivers seat, and one in the passenger seat with a carbine. Both ponies look familiar, but Silver isn't sure he ever knew their names. They carry wounded ponies in the bed.

"Good enough. That was fast, Amber Grain sure works fast. Have safe trip to Wald, soldiers!"

The beige earth pony on the left - Primrose - looks up at Silver blankly.
The dandelion pegasus on the right - Thistlebrush - however, has an answer
"Draconequis."

Silver nods, and enters the room.
"Vale has been cleared of changelings. I could use your help at telephone office to contact Command."

"Oh, thank Celestia"
Thistlebrush:
"If the wires are fixed, I can find the right signal."

This is done by Thistlebrush, who has a coat that she puts on. Primrose, however, has only a thin sweater with her. It's not that much below freezing, at least.
The ponies go outside and into the night

The ponies go on their way down the street, passed on the road by another uniformed soldier. They arrive at the telephone office soon enough.

Primrose seems to smile, while Thistlebrush has a toothier, more awkward smile - though it may just be the cold.
Primrose:
"No problem."
The ponies arrive in the office, then in the back its telephonic equipment.

"Alright..."
Some wires are placed in slots, and she uses a rotary phone.
"Hello? Yes? Can you get me in touch with a higher ranking officer? This is coming from Vale. Vale, Cascadia. Yes. We have a report. To the Command of the 23rd Infantry Division. Yes."
She looks over at Silver, placing the phone partly down.
"Wait a moment. I think they will have someone for you."
