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.

To Federkleid: "I'm sorry. I didn't know where your things were, and if I had carrying them out would have been troublesome. We should get to a doctor…."

"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."

"I hope so too. This war, it feels different from first one. I cannot tell if it is good different or bad different, but it will be."

"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.

Silver is somewhat disgusted by the actions of the two pegasi.
"Ugh. Looters. It is last thing we need now."

"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.

There you go. Silver silently cheers on the police as he looks up at the planes, curious what they're doing.

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.

"Huh, planes with rockets. And they are quite loud. Looks like they might be on patrol. What are warplanes doing out here?"
Silver returns his attention back to ground level and his surroundings.

Spectral Streak:
"Patrol? Maybe. But you can't blow it up if it isn't on the ground."
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.

"They will certainly be making long trip to frontline. But you make good point. You think these changeling agents will be choosing military targets? Target infrastructure? Civilian population?"

"According to the briefings I got at least, it's assumed they'd target infrastructure, industry, and military targets. In Baltimare, that means the naval base and harbor, but also things like-"
Clang
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.

Silver leans slightly to look at the wreckage right in front of them. He's very grateful it's not them who got involved, but he hopes everypony's alright.
"...at least police are already at scene of accident."

The green uniformed traffic cop goes over towards the driver's side door, and stops next to it. He looks in and says
"Are you alright?"
The officer on the other side opens the door and gets out of the vehicle.
And then, from the driver's side door, there is a BANG
And
"Tatatatatatatatatatatatatat"
The officer on the other side stands up, and fires a machine carbine right into the car that is hit with full auto.

They've absolutely chosen their actions, so... yes.
The Jenny's optic has an arrow that comes down from the top, and converges down on the target.

A crisp pull, and a bang. About half the recoil of the old Lavender, although the Jenny is shorter and lighter. The shell rotates in the air as it is ejected, and the gun is immediately ready to be fired again.

Silver advances on the vehicle, keeping his weapon trained on the it as he tries to get into view of the other attacker. With hoof signals he tells Spec to keep him covered.
"Just surrender, changeling, you are surrounded, and out of hope. Give up and we will do you no harm."

The pain is great but he hardly falters, and now he knows where the assailant roughly is. He squeezes off a couple of rounds from his Jenny in response.

He is hit.
Spectral Streak has gotten out of the car, presses a button on the gun, holds it up, and,
"Pow Pow Pow Pow"
He fires the Jenny fully automatic into the car police car from what is a very short range, firing through the door.
