Welcome back to the newest thread of Occupied Equestria
In Northern Equestria on the Changeling side, Spark has given refuge to a mare claiming to be stalked by a Changeling drone.
In the southeast, in Baltimare, Amber tries to slip past police in her infiltration of the Police Headquarters. Iron prepares for his next fight against griffin gangsters. Silver enjoys downtime, and Midnight checks out a local church.

"I Appreciate you running the bar."
He smiles at him
"I Have to be on my way now though."
He waves at him
"See you later."
He then hails a taxi and makes them do the evasive maneuvers and heads over to the BH HQ

He raises a hoof and nods
"See you."
The Blackhooves Headquarters is actually a shorter distance from the Eastside Tavern than the Eastside Tavern is from the University.
Dark Star arrives, with adequate maneuvering (the taxi drives north for a while, and then south).

Are you secretly... black
He enters Seabreeze's Office. Seabreeze looks up at Dark Star and silently examines him for a few seconds with his mouth slightly open, and tilts his head.
"Weren't you a zebra?"

He has an amused smile, and leans forward with both hooves on the table, though the prosthetic right leg cannot handle his weight as the left can
"Okay. You have my attention."

I usually just do it through the browser, but I can see why you might not like it.
I'm going to bed. I'll shoot you a sneed tomorrow, hopefully in DMs by then.

"I've taken it upon myself to infiltrate a Group of Leftists At the local university.I uh Had to sit through a Detestable speech by some,Forgive my ponish. Some Faggot Professor who Advocated for every degeneracy you could imagine,Including pedo behavior.

"The universities back on the colony have professors with a bit more appreciation of our efforts to ennoble and empower the pony herd as a collective. They also had some, well, some like those professors. Fortunately we've been able to empower those good teachers, and save our youth from the dangerous ones. Here, well, we would have done the same thing, but Nationalizing the Unions provoked a revolt, and drained any efforts at reform."

"That is a Complex Question, Well There are mountains of things that need fixing. The Universities for one,Shouldn't be able to get away with inviting Degenerates like that Sub-Pony Filth they had speaking. There are Non-Ponies everywhere committing crimes,The Poverty rate is bad. There's a Local Government who doesn't care for anything except their bit pouch. Gangs are running Amuck Change needs to happen if the Good Ponies of this Region are to Survive.

Sea Breeze listens to Dark Star as he speaks, nods, and leans forward
"Dark Star... You must understand..." He breaths out in something like a sigh, and looks back up to him.
"Our base of support, a majority of our supporters, really, all come from one Equestrian colony. And of that group, half of the male population between 15 and 65 is carrying arms. Half the population, who are not in the factories making goods to buy, or in the fields growing food. Not paying taxes. It must be this way, because with the crisis with Wingbardy, we are scarcely defending ourselves from powerful kingdoms who wish to see us crushed under our heels. We must wage war to the death with foreign powers, while garrisoning an empire that thankfully gives us raw materials, but costs precious money and ponypower.
Dark Star, when we came into Baltimare, we attempted to implement the Blackhooves political program. Trade only within the Customs Union, Nationalization of Unions, giving the State ownership of a portion of all large industries, a thorough purge of corruption and organized, bringing education under proper State oversight, the elimination of non-pony immigration... An uprising resulted. Garrisons were attacked and overrun, armories looted... we had to bring the city under siege, and shell it for days. We cannot afford that now. If Equestria is to become like its children across the sea, it must come after the most radical opposition is crushed, and when its ponies are ready and willing to accept the change.
Are you concerned about being the Evil one? Dark Star, you must know that history advances in a dialectic. History contains within it many contradictions, and at every era questions must be asked that force these contradictions to the fore, and force a conflict between thesis and antithesis. In our era, this question is between those who see Ponies finding their happiness and purpose by their relationships with others - with family, tradition, culture, and the State - and with those who see Ponies as finding their ends severed from ties of family, tradition, culture, and the State. Should ponies see the Princesses and elements as rolemodels separate from themselves, leaving them free as individuals to pursue their own course? Or is society dutybound to the individual, and the individual duty bound to society, to make every pony an element bearer? These are the questions of our time, and I know very well where I stand. You should not feel concerned in the least to be "evil" to your antithesis, for that is their role in history, just as they recognize yours. Be certain that you triumph and they lose, and do not care if they are not, to the stallion, convinced of the rightness of your cause. Let them be swept aside. It matters not what they think sitting in a dank prison, lying dying in the street, hanging from a noose, or pouting silently at the parade procession sideline."

"It's Just Very Difficult Sometimes,Sir. I Wish Everypony Felt the way i do about the Black Hooves. That they Could see things for how they really are. To know that they only way We will ever move forward is through The Strength and Honor That the Party Offers us.Maybe i should Leave Equesrtia,Maybe i should go to New Mareland and help there.I'm Not sure i fit in here anyway. I seem to fighting an Eternal Struggle here,One that im not sure i can win. I Don't know."

He pulls back his lips in something resembling a smile, though it's hardly inviting
"Heheh. Do you think I don't feel the same sometimes? That I don't feel like I've been abandoned with no support, alone in a hostile land? That I don't want to request transfer to somewhere more comfortable? I know these feelings too. But I remember. You don't send a warrior to a land in peace, a police officer to order, or a doctor to the health. We are here precisely because the task is difficult. And if you can't win, if all you can do is to hold that rock in place up the hill? Then consider yourself successful, for you have won a holding action. You have held back the night just long enough that new warriors can come, and they can win. Feel no shame in that role, as it is essential. Is the struggle eternal? Perhaps it is, and the battle often needs to be refought every generation. That is just as well, because struggle, and struggle alone, teaches us courage, of loyalty to our comrades, of the necessity of our friendships, of the value of hope and laugher in hard times, and of kindness and generosity to those worse off than ourselves. Idle comfort does not breed virtue or meaning. Only boredom. And only when you may lose what you love, do you appreciate it. You, at least, have something you love. Bear any pain in fighting for it. It's worth it."

He smiles at him
"I do need to ask you something though. Would it be possible to get a Fake identification so i can enroll an the university. Something Feels Off about it,Aside from the stuff i've already reported.Oh and one other thing i forgot to mention that the professor Said in the griffin countries where the Black Hooves are occupying he said they were having relations with the Hook Beaks"

"Very good. Remember that all of these ponies who disagree with you haven't had the same experiences as you have. Perhaps they would see the world in the same way as you if they had. Perhaps they can be encouraged to see things differently.
Regarding a fake identification card, certainly one can be made. But if the professors and students do not believe you are one of theirs, well, an identification card may not help."
He scrunches at the last part
"The soldiers of the regular military are conscripts, and not all of them are Blackhooves. Most of them aren't, probably. They have fought hard in long and arduous campaigns across two continents. They have been kept in service away from the mares back home for longer than anticipated, though we do give them rotation. We set limits to what they are allowed to do in garrisons. Do not antagonize the locals with theft, rape, or destruction of property, do not fall for insurgent traps, and limit the spread of diseases. And aside from that, they are free to enjoy themselves. To the victor goes the spoils. It is better this way, lest they mutiny. And if it bothers you, look at it this way. It is better to be victorious and foul the women of a foreign nation, than to be defeated and see your own mares defiled. Let us keep it that way."

"I don't know how common it is. Probably only the medical experts know, and even they have to guess. But I have to assume that mares in Equestrian and Barrad assignment are more popular. Still, with a hundred thousand in Griffonian garrisons, and much more than that on the front lines, it must occur more often than never. Maybe it happens to our female soldiers and clerks abroad. Perhaps it happens to Equestrians from our griffin soldiers. But war is a messy thing." Looking away at that last sentence, he turns his gaze back to Dark Star for the next segment
"A University is not the place for those who have lived on the streets, or indeed, have ever had to work in any meaningful capacity at all. If you have ever seen an overly pedicured poodle, blinded by its own fur and owned by a wealth lady, and contrasted that against a stray or wild dog, you will not have seen a contrast so great as that between the working class ponies, and the petite bourgeoise in universities who claim a divine right to represent and rule over the working classes."

"Remember. This city is the most most radical of all of the cities of East Equestria, or even of the former Equestria. It is the only city outside of Severyana to successfully expel an Equestrian garrison by force in over a century. University students are always the most radical of the lot. What you see there is not like it is out in the rural countryside, not by any means. And you can help to keep it that way."

"And perhaps many of them are good ponies, who, under better circumstances could be good citizens. Some are mislead by professors and other 'intellectuals' who have spouted non-sense. Some are filled with misdirected youthful idealism. And some have personal problems they funnel into politics.
We can't arrest all of them. There are far too many of them. We can't even exempt communists from the draft back home. Be careful though in trying to reach her. You do not want to give yourself away. They know we try to send in infiltrators."

"Pretty good for an afternoon. Now, what are they planning? Are they planning another uprising? An assassination? Who is involved? Are they demoralized and don't want to fight at all? Who is leading them? Where are they getting supplies? Do they have allies in the Royalists outside of the city? Is there some disagreement we can exploit? And if you stay long enough, get in deep enough, there may be room for something creative. Spark an uprising you know they are going to lose. Exploit disagreement and distrust to get them fighting each other. And much more. This may only be the beginning."

“Normal college activities it seems. Likely they are minnows, and we are probably not interested in them. But we are interested in those big fish who prey upon them, who use them as warm bodies in their schemes. Find out who they know, and who is around them. And maybe there is more to them than it seems.
Go there, and integrate yourselves into them. Get them to trust you. And see what you can learn.”

It's a number of blocks between the Blackhooves headquarters and the apartment, halfway across the town.
Dark Star arrives at a complex of small, brick buildings with two floors and low-grade roofs.
Dark Star can see that the apartment in question is one that seems to be larger than most, taking up much of the second floor of the building, and accessed by an exterior stairwell

Dark Star, presumably, walks to the door, knocks, and finds it is answered by some colt with a short mane.
Soft jazz music plays inside.

Take your time. There's no rush, and definitely not need to be sorry. I get you're not delayed because you want to be. We all have our meatspace priorities and responsibilities. I just hope to chat on a more personal level some time. Take care of yourself, Anon. I wish you good luck.
SNEED.

"Yeah. June!" He calls
And surely, June sees Dark Star
"I don't recall inviting him? He was at the lecture right? Who invited him?" And from inside
"Nadi did."
He looks back at Dark Star with an expression near confusion. Then he looks down, at the beer. He swings the door wide open
"Come on in!"

June has a glass of wine, and it appears Mars most likely does too, though she is not levitating it.
Once the stallion takes a beer, a small swarm forms around the beer, including the yellow mare, Star Cut, two mares he hasn't seen before, and finally, Lunar Nadir. She comes up to Dark Star and says, "Dark Star! You made it." And quickly gets a beer

Is Dark Star really a beer drinker?
The short cut stallion - or colt, rather, since he can't be even as old as Solar Night - holds up a hoof and makes a swirling motion to Dark Star
"What cha' doing with that on? You look like a cop."

He drinks beer occasionally. its not really his favorite.
He laughs it off
"you look like you belong on a jungle gym,big guy."
He takes his coat off and puts it in his bag.
His guns and other incriminating objects are at the bottom of his bag
"But if you must know. i get very cold. it doesn't seem all that chilly in here."
He adjusts his glasses

"Oh" She says
"Yes, it's a bit of a shame Twilight's lessons didn't really take out there."
Mars Loaf moves in
"A shame? It's much more than a shame." She presses a hoof on Lunar Nadir, who pulls her wings out ever so slightly
"Nadi. Why don't you tell her what the countryside was like."
Nadir:
"I don't know that that's necessary."
Mars:
"No. Let her know."
Nadir:
"Okay... My mother is a native Thestral from a community in the upper Tenochtitlan basin. Like many in those times, there were no higher paying factory jobs in the villages, so she left for Baltimare... In Baltimare, she got pregnant. By a zebra. Life wasn't easy for her, by any means. When she lost her job, she went back to a town near the village where she grew up. They had a jute processing plant there. The pay was actually better. But the ponies..."
Nadir looks as if she is about to cry
"I think they found the bats strange to begin with. And a bat pony with stripes... They would look oddly at her, at me on the streets, they would have this look of disgust. I was an oddity to them. They didn't like bats, zebras, or those born out of wedlock, and they didn't like me. They would refuse her service from diners. Not one but two teachers didn't want me in their class. Almost had to kick me out because of how mean the other foals were..." Now she's definitely crying
"And when she would go up to the Thestral villages, it was worse. I was alien to them. She was shunned, actively by the community. Her parents wanted nothing to do with her. It was bad enough that she left the village. Coming back a single mother was worse. And coming back with striped foal.. that was too much for them. The job at the Jute plant was better than work in Baltimare, but she had to leave. We had to leave. And when we got to Baltimare, it was better. But only so much so. Teachers didn't care to kick me out. They also didn't care if I was bullied. Ponies weren't as hostile, especially not the bat ponies, but they weren't friendly... That's why I'm grateful to be around here."
Mars Loaf pats Nadir on the back
"Do you see? That's what it's like out there."
>>148678

Dark Star has a Bad Feeling in his stomach as she begins to cry.
He isn't sure what to say to help her,but He pats her shoulder.
He begins to say the only true words he has said since he got here.
"That's awful Lunar, I'm so sorry that happend to you. i wish i could have been there to help you."
He then takes a swig of his beer

She leans forward onto him, not saying anything. Her wings, wrapped closely to her body, but moves upward, covering her chest and neck, make contact against Dark Star's body. For what is very possibly the first time in Dark Star's life, he feels bat pony wings. They feel velvety, with the thinnest layer of fur covering them.
Mars loaf continues speaking to Lens
"Yeah, well, now you know."
Lense
"Oh, okay, I didn't know"
Mars loaf:
"Do you even have zebras in your community? Or thestrals?"
Lens
"A few but they are transient workers, and they keep to themselves..."
A short conversation follows that ends rather abruptly when a third mare comes by and asks about a reading assignment. The question catches Mars Loaf completely off guard, and she is terrified by the possibility of surprise quiz. Lens doesn't have this problem, as she is caught up in her reading regardless of whether it was assigned to be read by the following morning or not.

"Yeah" She looks up towardsDark Star Solar Night with her dark blue slit-eyes, and tries to sit up, and get off of him, lowering her wings down. She stays silent.
Elsewhere in the room, a stallion messes with the radio, and changes it to another station. Also playing jazz music.
When Mars Loaf feels she has recovered from the danger of the reading assignement, she turns to Dark Star and asks him a question
"You are thinking of enrolling?"
"Yeah" She looks up towards

As the stallion changes the radio station Dark Star(Solar Night) Hopes it is not going back to Zigger jazz,His hopes are then thoroughly dashed as he changes it to another Jazz station.
He then turns his attention to Mars
"Yea actually, i am thinking about that. The University Sounds Amazing."
He takes another sip of his beer
