Amber runs from a police raid. After an intense firefight, Dark Star provides shelter for two young maidens, and Silver takes a lovely Kirin he's had his eyes on to see a movie. Iron retrieves treasure from the mountains, and Spark goes back to the wolf village with the resistance fighter.

Helder is ahead of them, parking in the back.

A griffin comes out and greats them, evidently a slightly below middle aged griffin with yellow feathers, wearing a vest and hat with glasses.

Federklied is the first to great him, followed by Erich. He opens the door, and the group is invited inside.

He looks over to Amber, and then down at the wound, if it isn't covered with clothing

"And here I thought you had slipped and fell on some bullets." He looks over at Erich

"Should I be concerned?"

He answers
"No, well, we're leaving. They may be others looking for us. I know we're asking for much, but... for old times sake."

The veterinarian turns and moves over to Federklied
"Alright.. let's get you stitched up and stop the bleeding."

Amber follows the good doctor and waits for Federklied to get patched up first, knowing that she took a worse hit. It still hurts for Amber though, especially without the imminent worry of getting caught.

Amber enters an entry foyer with a hat rack and a wooden store for shoes. Multiple items of furniture like benches and counters are overly covered in white paint. There is a doorway going further in, and a narrow wooden staircase going up. However, it is the next room over that has a bed, a sink, cabinets, windows and restraints allowing it to be useful for medical procedures on smaller animals and griffins. This is where he takes Federklied.

"They got you good. I don't have any plasma. You'll have to just take the blood loss. This will stop the external bleeding, and keep you from getting infected."

Erich stays with Federklied as the doctor works on her. Amber and Helder can stay in the entry foyer if they like, or go into the other room if they like while they wait.

It's humble compared to the palace, but it's better than nothing. Amber has a look into the other room, trying not to get herself concerned about the medical procedure. She doesn't go far into the room but stays by the threshold.

The walls of the room are not adorned with the homely paintings of a griffin's residence, nor the diagrams of dog anatomy you'd expect in a veterinarian's office. It seems that this would be used for smaller livestock like goats, but not for something like a cow.

He does what he can to remove the bullet and sow up Federkleid. It's Amber's turn now.

He takes a look at the wound.

“Rather nasty. There’s a little morphine.”
He takes out a hypodermic needle, and injects it into Amber. Has she ever felt it before? It’s not pleasant. But Amber is and has experienced worse. He takes a wet rag, wipes the wound, and applies iodine.

She starts to become numb, but not before he tries to stick forceps into the wound. This is unpleasant.

He has to move around in the wound, clearly not accomplishing what he wanted to accomplish the first time. But after the passage of still more seconds, he finds what he wants. He wipes the wound, and starts to stitch Amber up, applying many stitches. Eventually, Amber is sewn up, and a bandage is applied over the wound.

On the southside, two earth ponies look on at the scene while a bat pony crosses the street. Spec moves in towards the eastside along the street to what seems to be another downed officer. Two ponies approach the vehicle that was hit and then shot at, where blood and shattered glass is all that can be made out from Silver's position with the police car between them. Silver can see that the shotgun wielding police officer from the first vehicle has scurried past the downed the home guard, turned the corner, and is rapidly converging on the location of the machine carbine-wielding officer, who stands in the entry threshold of the grocery store. His carbine, though not raised, is held at the ready, and he looks directly at Silver's position. Silver likely locks his blue eyes to the officer's green as he looks around.

On the northside, cars have moved or even crashed into each other after the shooting started. But only one off-white colored mare is interested in assessing the damage of a fender bender. Everypony else has backed up, gotten back along the road, and started northward. More or less the same story is true of the road east, which has started to clear. A pair of ponies on the sidewalk north by the diner walk slowly, looking on at the scene, while another two lope northward.

In a firm voice, Silver tells the two approaching ponies, "Move along, civilians, this is issue for Police and Homeguard. Unless you are here to help wounded ponies, continue to make your way along designated evacuation route."

To the officer looking out at the scene, Silver locks eyes with him, and gives him a nod as if the situation is returning to normal.

The civilians linger, and then move along. The one officer continues eye contact, looking rather afraid, if anything, and does not cease this expression with the nod. Facing Silver, he backs into the entryway of the grocery store as his partner approaches him. The partner looks over to the officer, then turns around and looks at Spec, and then at Silver, and then moves inside of the grocery store.

Silver goes to the fallen changelings, ripping off clean strips of cloth to use to at least halt the bleeding. He then brings them over to the doctor.

"It is not exactly hospital-grade, but this should keep him from bleeding to death for now. He needs proper medical attention, probably from evacuation facilities outside of city. Assuming they have set those up."

Moving the body is inconvenient to say the least, and the door on the car does not fully close. Nevertheless, the car, needing to be moved from its position locked into the other car, moves a little to the left and across the street. There is not much room to dump off a vehicle, but fortunately parking spaces on the side of the road still exist, and it may be dumped off next to a corner drug store.

Laying back in the passenger seat is a unicorn mare, who has multiple bloody wounds.

"Last of the buggers on the bridge killed. They overturned a car, this may take a while. Keep traffic diverted."

It goes on like this.

Silver calls over the radio.

"Two Infiltrators dead in North Cowtown. Traffic flow restored. Need medical for two severely wounded civilians and transport for one dead."

Now who could say no to those puppy dog eyes?

"Okay... you can stay in the barn." The veterinarian says

In answer,
"Copy that. we'll see who's around. All evacuees from there proceed towards Northpoint."

"Thank you." Presumably, the others will rather stay in the comfort of the house. Amber picks up her instruments and carries them with her to the barn, where she looks for a place out of view.

Silver motions to the traffic as he yells out.

"ALL CIVILIANS, PLEASE CONTINUE PROCEEDING TOWARDS NORTHPOINT!"

After this, he turns to the doctor.

"I am sorry to ask this of you, but do you think you can keep these two alive until medics arrive? We need to regroup with other Homeguard and help defend city."

Pedestrians simply walk across the street, turning their heads to look by with great concern at the damaged cars and at the scene. They quickly trot through the intersection. Cars need a moment to adjust to the situation, but start to speed through, and horns blare as cars try to move past pedestrians, and go north. The streets are backed up as far as Silver can see.

"I, I don't know. We need to get out o here." He says with some fear

Above, a fighter plane roars by at low altitude, going west and into the city.

Silver puts a hoof on the doctor's shoulder to calm him.

"It will be alright. There are police and Homeguard nearby to keep everypony safe, and medics will be arriving soon to help these two. You can leave if you want, but these two need help if they are to survive until medics arrive, and you are only one here who can do that."

Silver nods.

"Medics will take them north. I imagine they could also give you ride north out of city as well, if you ask."

He nods. Slowly

"Alright."

He looks down at the worse of the two ponies, and tries to apply pressure.

He picks up the radio, and turns it on.

"Couple bugs cleared on Falabella. Civilian and Homeguard casualties, but traffic is moving now. Need help in north Cowtown?"

A voice replies. The accent is strong
"Buggers are comin' out like a light shined on cockroaches. We got 'em spooked. Anyone need any help?"

Reply, strange accent:
"We have attempted sabotage at the Six Sister's Oil refinery, uh, the Celestial Oil plant. Trying to cause a backup."

In a Mareland accent,
"Couple got by at WMARE Television station, eastside. Trying to sabotage communications."

"Hmm, if that oil refinery backs up, effects could be devestating. What do you think?"
