The music eminating from the radio once again cuts out, replaced with a silence, and then the following words, played at a higher volume than the music it replaced:

We interrupt this broadcast to bring you an important message. Governor Halcyon Shores has declared a State of Emergency.
All air and rail travel through the Tenochtitlan Basin and Hayseed regions has been suspended. All travel has suspended both up and down the Snake, Ponelippe, and Delemare Rivers.

The Governor has issued an order mandating the evacuation of all civilians from the Tonaltzintli and Saltlickingham regions effective immediately. All civilians remaining within the Zazquiyahuitl region are ordered to remain in their homes or take shelter in a structurally sound building. Civilians in Zazquiyahuitl are to lock all doors, close all windows, and cover all openings to the outside. An advisory evacuation has been issued for residents of the Tenochtitlan and Hayseed regions.

The Governor has ordered the rationing of heating oil, kerosene, coal, firewood, diesel and gasoline. All civilians districtwide are ordered to keep use of water and electricity to a minimum, and to stock up on supplies of freshwater. Schools and non-essential government services are closed until further notice districtwide. Use of medical services is restricted to emergencies.

Civilians are advised to boil any and all tap water, river sourced water, or ground water before drinking or using in the preparation of food. Use bottled water where possible. Residents experiencing high fever, a severe headache, vertigo, black tongue, dark urine, or severe abdominal and chest pain, should seek medical help immediately.

Ponies, particularly those with military, law enforcement, or medical backgrounds, are asked to join in the District Militia.

Keep your radio on for more updates."

The message stops, and the music resumes.

Paper Clipping:

"If you are worried about being caught by regime, I doubt there is that much to worry. From personal experience, Black Hooves are more occupied with putting out fires than with random crackdowns and searches. It took private citizens to discover what was going on with Comte Burgher, and our raid on Hoebuck was orchestrated by local government, not federal."

“I can imagine.” She makes a motion as if reaching for a cigarette, but none is forthcoming, nor is she even wearing a pouch from which one may be produced. When she realizes the error, she stops, and then spreads herself out, laying down on her belly on the bed.

Okay, I see that Iron is “holding her tightly,” but in any case, she reaches for a non-existent pouch, then repositions herself from laying on her side to something more like laying on her belly, and spreads out her hindlegs.

For the preceding few sentences, White Sands was content to speak to Iron without looking at him, lazily aiming her gaze at the wall on the far side, or looking down for her pouch. With Iron’s last words, however, she turns her long, thin muzzle towards him, and with her dark green eyes looks into his.

“What the tribe wants? What do they want? What do you think ‘success’ is, I mean?”

"They want me to bring back the spoils of my journey," Iron answered back with a tinge of uneasiness, feeling like he was most likely stepping into potential trouble. "Project the worth I have gained to my tribesponies."
For a moment, his grip loosened on Sands as her questions reverberated inside his skull. "...I figured it meant bringing shiny stuff at first," he continued, deep in thought "but now I am not sure."

She lays next to him in silence for a moment, and for several seconds Iron likely fears he will have to be the next to speak; that he will have to elaborate, or expand upon his words. But White Sand’s grave expression is, after the passage of some time, accompanied by a slow nod.

“The same as I.” She says, herself less able to hold a firm composure.

“It is your duty, to the family. To the… tribe. To come back with… something. On you they depend. Otherwise… what are you doing? Who even are you?”
At this point, her eyes wander, and she loses her focus on Iron

Such a reply caused Iron to slowly look at Sands with a soft expression, giving Sands a much needed stroke on her mane. However, his mind soon started to connect some dots together. "...you mean you are also part of a tribe?" he soon asked the unicorn mare with a tinge of hope, wondering if such a route may lead to him finally tackling her issues firsthoof like he so desperately wants.

"You are definitely right about that," Iron agreed wholeheartedly with a nod, starting to open himself up by just a bit. "I have barely gone out for nothing at all yet I miss them, but I cannot come back until I can proudly say I did it. Until I make them proud of me."
The words slipped his mouth, feeling quite exposed to reveal such details but ultimately deciding she needed to know he understood her struggles at the very least. It's what he should do for his mare, after all...

She again looks at him, with no smile and grave expression.

"For you it's been... you say seven days? Well for me it's been seven years. And the last seven months of that with nothing to show for it." She turns her head away from Iron, now looking at the pillow next to him, with a gaze focused far beyond that. It seems like she is done speaking, until she adds:

"I don't actually know how long it's been. Long enough."

Iron's hope quickly eroded at the sight, realizing none of this was really helping her. He had to do better!
With a determined glint in his eyes, Iron soon placed a hoof of Sands' cheek. "It is not too late to make them proud," he proposed the mare. "You are still living, therefore you must keep trying. We only need to find out how to do it."

"Love?" Iron uttered, a little confused at Sands' answer. "How are you supposed to love them from so far away?"
Meanwhile, his brain started to brainstorm a little, figuring his gambit with Cauldron could prove to be a viable way to gain the respect and admiration from her family. However, such a solution in it of itself felt a little empty compared to his physical efforts for the striped zebra mare he loved. There must be something a lot more personal to secure their relationship to be as loving as it can be.

When Iron points towards her womb, she moves her muzzle down to glance down at her belly. She blushes, and has the warmest, happiest smile he's seen on her all morning.

"If it means making you the happiest mare you can be," Iron instantly replied with unwavering, firm passion "I want it."
Deep down, however, he wasn't honestly sure if the prospect of raising a family with Sands will help them start the spark of a fulfilling relationship. It would certainly aid in finding a suitable aspect to properly latch onto and give them that missing piece he was so eager for... and now that he said it, it seemed like a great idea.
Are we really capable to raising foals in this state, though? Iron soon wondered in his head, yet quickly shooed it off for the time being: Right now, Sands needs his commitment to be shown in full force.

Soon enough, however, he turned pensive, reminding himself of the small bicker. "That does mean you will have to bond with Cauldron," he added with a hint of trepidation "and also spread the word of a new up and coming potion maker."

Technically... the party was working for the Blackhooves when they investigated Comte with agent Skies being there, and the Hoebuck, raid, while not done through the Blackhooves's State Security Administration, was done by a different part of the federal government

"Are you sure? Because this is how they would do it. If they wanted to clear the region."

"Maybe, but they would have to send in troops to clear out most entrenched of rural families."

"Where those very angry and vengeful ponies are more likely to meet up with resistance groups in city, have their anger galvanized, and cause even more trouble for government than if they were left alone."

"Either way, I am not so sure that Black Hooves are interested in anything more than making sure that we do not actively revolt. If I were them, I would be trying to better things in order to actually build loyalty. You cannot just stab country in back during war, call yourselves 'Saviors of Ponykind', and expect loyalty without doing something to earn it."

Iron hums softly for a bit, thinking about his options. "...will we need some sort of guide or more hooves to carry other essentials?" he inquired instead. "Is it better to keep the team as small as possible?"

"Paradise? Ha! Far from paradise. There is so much more that can be improved, in the professors, the administrators... even the students. But let me tell you. Paradise is not far off. The creatures of the world are starting to wake. And the steps that will take us to that paradise, or as near as we can make it? That is being planned here. Forged here. I know creatures who were involved in the uprising of last September. I've spoken to them at length about what happened, and what must happen next time."

His eyes light up

"Yes, it failed. They were prepared, we were not. But they are weaker now, with their wars of imperialism. And we will be prepared. Our great mistake in September was reacting to the Fascists, reacting to their closure of the Unions. Can you believe that? Reacting to Reacionaries? When we, the next generation, should be the movers of history? Not again.

The Unions are gone, it is true, and with them ended the first great mobilizing organization of the working class. But the great movers of the Revolution were not arrested - not most of them anyways - and more are being created everyday. They just moved into hiding. And when the time is right, we will rise again. And when we do, we will find ourselves freed from all constraints of Princess, Master, Landlord, or antiquarian morality. We will be free to find fraternity with all feeling creatures, with no bounds of class, nation, or species, and free to pursue all manner of happiness in this, our one and only life. Do you understand what can be won? Do you understand what is to be done?"

He pauses for a moment, enraptured by his own words:
"No. I don't think you do. But if you want to know, well, you came to the right place."

He stands up, still looking at Dark Star, placing a hoof up on the chair next to him.
