Silver is damn near mesmerized by this mystery gun. If he was shocked at how the city has developed, and how the cars look sleeker and more colorful, then it's nothing compared to this tool of war. He's not even sure if it fires bullets anymore. With the practiced movements of an experienced soldier he puts on the flak vest and helmet and takes the small radio ("Does it even work if it is that small?") and gas mask. The last item he takes is the rifle, and as he gets in the car he can't help but inspect it closer, feel its weight in his magic, and inspect the intermediate-sized magazine and fire selector.

Outside, or rather, across the street.
>>162699
The fire selector is a button that can be pressed in on either side of the rifle. These are "R" and "A".
The magazine is curved, can fit... 20 rounds? And the top of the action is fitted with a charger guide to allow it to be reloaded with stripper clips. The charging handle of the gun is above the forearm, and before the optic.

"R" and "A"? What do these mean? Silver lets out, addressed to no one in particular, "What kind of strange rifle is this...?"

Spec is driving now, opposite to the main flow of traffic. While the lane leading out of the city and down the penisula is thick with cars, the other lane is clear. To be sure, cars sometimes drive in the other lane, and Spec drives off the road more than once, though the sides of the road are often filled with pedestrians walking away from the city. The sirens continue blaring.
Spec, however, hears Silver
"Oh, you haven't seen the new battle rifle? That's a Lavender Machine 2, Caliber .277, Model Year 1020. Or an M20. The 'Jenny'. 'R' is repetition, or single shot. 'A' is full auto."
Looking down at the rifle, Silver can almost hear the trumpets dancing around as he holds it

Not good, and the whole group wouldn't be able to evade effectively. Amber steers away from the party and, after a short while, ducks into an alley.

1020. Silver has a bit of an idea of the future time period he's in. He hopes Spec is paying attention and isn't running over anypony trying to flee the city.
"'Jenny'. Full auto, intermediate cartridge, twenty round magazine...it is amazing how far firearms have advanced from Lavender Rifles we used in War just few years ago."

Spec is doing well enough, maneuvering past pedestrians and automobiles. Silver can see there are a few more schools here, and many more single family houses. The amusement park on the pier is still very much there, and with a new rollercoaster. Bird move in the sky.
"If, anything the Lavender was out of date decades ago. They just delayed replacing them for cost reasons. I would recommend keeping it on single fire. It's got quite a kick."

Silver nods, and sets it to R. If it wasn't for the threat of WMDs smuggled in by changelings, he would like to see this future come about.
"Not as if that stopped you from becoming most lethal sniper in all of Equestria's armed forces, Spectral Streak. 'White Death'. I remember how number of soldiers I trained in boot camp asked about you."

That smile...it brings him back to a time when both he and Spec were much younger, and less scared by what they have lived through. He can't help but share in this smile, even if its for only for the moment.

Helder and Erich look through the items
Helder:
"What about my clogs?"
Erich:
"You can get over it." He pauses and looks at the items. "At least this original print is saved. I definitely wouldn't want the Imperials finding this one." He holds up a book, and looks to the side. "One set of clothes will... work."
Felderklied
"What about any of my items?"
Felderklied is holding a rag to her wound, and is clearly in pain, rocking.

"No." He says
"That's why we need the radio. They'll reveal themselves, unfortunately."
The road merges into north Cowtown past where the peninsula meets northern Baltimare. The streets are congested with automobiles, which are far more numerous than Silver ever remembers them being. There are hundreds of them, with their green, red, blue, yellow, and white colors and smooth curves. There are also a few more houses along this way than Silver can recall. Some of the traffic moves east onto the peninsula, but some of it moves north along the roadway.
Spectral Streak turns left.
"But the best bet is they'll be somewhere along... here."

Turn the knob to turn on the radio, and also to tune into specific channels. Hold down a button to speak into it.
The car slows down as it comes into a section with shops on either side, alternating with town houses or close single family homes. Silver can see ponies crowded along the side of the streets moving. Earth ponies dominate, although there are some unicorns, pegasi, and even bat winged ponies, with the latter two sometimes flying in the air. Some ponies seem joyful. Some are concerned, or scared. Some are confused. Some are bored, or move around as if it's a normal Monday. Silver passes a pair of mares shouting "woo, death to the Changelings!" who roam about, as well as an older stallion who shouts "the end is neigh. You should have listened!" Both are moved along by ponies in blue or green uniforms, with both a few Baltimare PD officers helping to move along the flows of citizens, and several ponies in what Silver can recognize as the "Homeguard" which he is now evidently a part of. Some of these ponies seem to be standard reservists, but many are beyond drafting age (30s), and even wear military medals. The sirens have stopped, and now speakers play music. National music, with trumpets and drums.

Silver has a worried look on his face as he witnesses the mood of the ponies pedestrians they pass by.
"I am concerned these ponies have mostly forgotten what hell we went through last time we fought war against Changelings. How many truly know what this means and how it will affect them?"

Spectral Streak looks forward
"Most of them didn't experience the War that directly. Not the way we did. It was far away, until it shook their windows, and came through their front door. I think that's why the evacuation has so many of them startled. Really puts a damper on the mood." He pauses, glances over to Silver, and then looks forward. "I haven't forgotten. I hope we send hell back."

"We have the intiative. We chose the moment. I'd say that's a good different." He says, and flips the knob on the radio. Quickly sounds flow through.
From static, there is the sound,
"Air reserves in the air."
"Hey, Meadow Brook bridge coming in?"
"Yeah, uh, no problems yet. A bit of congestion but nothing's blown up yet."
"Keep it up. Just keep it open."
A couple police cars move on the opposite side of the road, moving to a branch of the roadway that splits north on one of the thoroughfares out. There's a diner over on the right side, and a grocery store on the left, and a couple ponies in uniform on the street, one directing traffic, and another on the side. There are more pedestrians and automobiles here, so Spectral Streak slows down.

Silver keeps his eyes out for any suspicious activity, not wanting the Changelings to catch him and his team unaware. With all of this commotion they have plenty of opportunity to try to slip by unnoticed.
"What is plan when we encounter them? Do we try to capture one alive for interrogation, or no prisoners?"

"Depends on what kind of information we can get out of them, and how long it will take to get it."
One police car pulls over on the side of the road, and a pair of ponies get out, one carrying some kind of shotgun, and the other some kind of carbine. They go into the grocery store. The other car pulls over into a parking space along the east/opposite side by the diner, and one officer pony gets out of the driver's seat, and then from the right passenger's seat. In the middle of the square, a uniformed reservist directs a car to move left and north, and then starts to move over to the right police car. Traffic isn't quite at a gridlock here, but it's not moving terribly quickly either. Spectral Streak has been heading into the city on the mostly clear right lane, but it's not uncommon at all for cars to move into this lane to get around traffic, slowing his speed significantly. From inside of the grocery store, a pair of pegasi run out at high speed, carrying a number of what seem to be cans. Spectral Streak takes the moment to pull over on the right towards the other green uniformed officer who stands near the diner on the south side of the block.

"Hey, take them down!" He shouts to the green uniformed pony, who considers crossing the street. One officer by the grocery store starts to move to follow him, while the other two across the street get back in the car.
Overhead, Silver hears a roar. It seems that planes are passing by.

Two of them, bright and shiny aluminum with swept wings and yellow wingtips and bands. They are flying low and fast, though they are gaining in altitude. Silver can see at this distance that the planes are loaded with numerous rockets under their wings. There is no buzzing sound, but rather a roar as they pass by.

Spectral Streak:

After a pause
"The whole military was supposed to be doing training exercises before deploying to combat operations in Kiria. Somehow I don't think that's going to happen."
The police car makes a sharp u-turn, cutting across traffic to pull around back south. One of the officers on the ground starts running after the pegasi, although the unicorn is a bit grounded. relative to his quarry.

Silver hears glass shattering as the police car turned south goes right back into the intersection and runs into the front of another car, partly pushing it aside, and stopping the police car perpendicular to the line of traffic. Soon enough, both doors swing open. The wreck is basically right in front of both of them, as Silver and Streak are parked just off to the side from the right lane of the intersection.

He seems to have been hit by at least one of the bullets Spec fired. However, Silver unambiguously hits the drone, who is already leaning against the car door.

"Yes. Soon. I still need clothes because otherwise I look like I just got shot." She looks over the items. "And since I don't have any here, I'll have to borrow these." She picks up Erich's set.
"Hey!" Erich objects
"You can shut up. It was your poor hiding that got got us in this situation."
"That's my one set. Be careful not to ruin it." He says
Federkleid makes some remark, but Helder speaks directly to Amber.
"There is a veterinarian directly along the way out, on one of the only roads that goes to the river. Discretion can never be guaranteed but... At least it's not far out of the way."

"Stronger together. The car is this way."
Presumably, the small group leaves the shop, and hurries across a street to get back to the car.

And then Amber seeds a police officer walking right by the car.

"I cannot believe we're not allowed to board!" Amber exclaims, making sure her wound is not visible. "The trains are never delayed like this, what do you suppose happened to warrant this?" She hopes the others get the hint.

It turns out, a car having significant damage from wrecks driving on the road isn't that uncommon, or at least isn't unusual enough to turn any heads.
The location is lumber framed with a white plastered wall, a second floor and a very high roof. Helder pulls in, and then decides to pull back out and around the location. There are many trees nearby and a field with cows. It seems they have already moved further away from town.

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.

Facing Silver, he backs into the entryway of the grocery store as his partner approaches him.

Whether it being a dream means the sensation is muted, or if it feels just as it should, it's enough to give Amber a fear of doctors. The end can't come soon enough, and after the veterinarian finishes she shakily sits up.

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.

Silver just needs to move it out of the way, but maybe it would be better to be just a bit farther away from prying eyes. Silver parks the car at the drug store, and returns to see if anything else needs to be done to restore the flow of traffic.

Silver goes to the vehicle to see that the hood is penetrated several times, the windshield is shattered, and slumped forward over the steering wheel is a middle aged unicorn stallion.

We're bureaucrats of the old government, and although we haven't done anything to warrant it, we're being hounded by the police. We won't be here long at all, just a few hours."

For good measure, roll diplomacy
"Within the house, yes. This is not a smuggler's den."

And the radio is already full of chatter
"Meadowbrook bridge, almost secure. We have casualties, but the bridge is intact. Not available for through traffic right now, continue to move around."
"How long until clear?"
"Uh, a few minutes, I think."
"More shots, central plaza. Not sure if they're guarding anything. Requesting support."
"Just leave'em there."
"Has anyone heard anything out of the Regional Transport Ministry?"
"They should be evacuated like everyone else."
"Not if you want the trains to run. I'm getting silence."
"They probably left already."
"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.

"It wouldn't be worst thing if we split up. No offense, but I would rather shelter in the barn."

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."

"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."
