Silver can see that they do have some supplies left, perhaps because the set of supplies seems to have originated in two different kits. There is some magic fluid, morphine, antiseptic, plasma, and bandages left.

“Yeah. We are. But we’ll have even more issues if we let these buggers be. We’ll be full of holes patched up by bandages and coagulant, with plasma instead of blood and working on adrenaline and morphine, but it’ll be us here alive at the end of the day, and not those bugs. I’ve lived too long to let them take it from me.”

Yes.

Looking inside, Silver can see fallen ceiling tiles and bits of drywall covering parts of a varnished wood floor, which already has streaks of blue blood. The hallway goes two ways, left and right, though it is clear that most of the interest is to the left. To the left the hallway opens to elevator banks and ultimately, further back, a reception desk.

On the right, not far at all from the door, Silver sees a dead, black drone on the ground. He has a beige trench coat soaked in blue blood, a helmet that Silver recognizes as being Changeling military issue of the style of the last war, and next to him, he has a weapon that Silver has never seen before. The weapon is made almost entirely out of metal painted black, except with a wooden butt stock and bakelite handgrips. It has a long, curved and dimpled magazine in front of the grip, a gas block above the barrel, simple iron sights, and a barrel that is shorter than the Jenny's, but a length that is slightly greater.

To the left, where the hallway expands to include the elevator bank, Silver sees another dead drone leaning against the wall, in an area that would have been cover from an attack from the door. This drone has no clothing, but also has a military helmet. He has multiple bullet wounds, and a machine carbine before him.

The right corner is the opposite direction that Silver initially saw the drones. Going down the hallway right from the stairs has another elevator bank with two elevators with brass doors, and then the hallway turns another corner right. On that wall, Silver can see two opaque glass doors with rough texture and names in white letters written on them, evidently some sort of company. Silver sees no signs of life in this way as the lights are on in the hallway, but no light comes through the doors.

Clash
The windows break open, and with a few more hits, Silver can see inside, or even unlock and open the doors. Silver sees a small reception area with a desk, and a hallway that has a couple offices, both with windows allowing some view inside. The offices appear to be in the condition they were left in when they were locked up the night before, with all lights off, and only a little natural sunlight from distant windows coming in.

It appears to be an approximately similar situation, with a conference room in the front on the left, and some open desks on the right, with Silver seeing windows letting in light from the rising sun on the far right.

Silver goes past the conference room, and past the set of desks, towards an office in the back that has the blinds on most of the windows down. At first he doesn't see it, as a bookshelf, the position of the office away from the rising sun, as well as the closed blinds, cause the interior of the room to be darker than say, the desks in the open area next to the east-facing windows. But there it is: behind a desk with papers and an open bottle, Silver can see what seems to be not one, but two ponies, crouching down on a couch.

Laying on the couch and in front is a tan colored Pegasus mare with a black mane, let down and somewhat disheveled. She turns her head quickly towards Silver, and looks at him with wide, green eyes. She immediately starts to get up off of the couch, and starts to move towards Silver.

“Hostages?! What?” She’s definitely startled. The other pony is a white unicorn stallion. He seems to be laying down asleep.

The mare already looks frightened, but she’s even more so as Silver says that
“I’d that what that banging was?!”

The stallion opens his eyes and thrusts his head upwards, looking around.
“What time is it? What are you doing here? It’s supposed to be a holiday.”

The mare adds
“Heh do you have guns?”

The stallion’s dress shirt is completely unbuttoned and disheveled. He attempts to button it up as he sits up. He smells like Apple Whiskey.
“We were just working over the weekend.”

The mare volunteers,
“To catch up on paperwork while elective surgeries are all cancelled.”
She too, starts to put on a shirt, taking a black shirt off of a chair near the couch.

The officer is making his passes by moving to the side of the hall away from the stall, and peering in. The officer has already inspected Amber’s stall, and Amber had thus far evaded detection by hiding closely behind a sheep. The officer has moved on to a stall across the central hallway, meaning that he is close to Amber’s stall, by the divider between Amber’s stall and the stall on the left.

>>164568
The mare is stunned
“What… war? Those really were gunshots?”

The stallion rolls over and stands up besides the couch. Or rather, he attempts to. In actuality, he miscalculates where his leg goes, and he stumbles and falls down, placing a hoof on the chair next to the couch to try to stand himself up.

“What?! It’s supposed to be a holiday.” And then as he stands up, “This is my office, it’s okay for me to be here.”

Amber braces herself, for she is trapped in a desperate situation. But it is better to take initiative while she can and gain the upper hoof–or claw, in this case. While the officer is distracted she vaults the railing and attempts to land an attack.

The creature's chest rises and falls, gurgling blood.

Silver places the magazine in the well, with the bolt automatically dropping and closing.

Silver gets a better view of the weapon, which appears to be something in between the Jenny battle rifle and a machine carbine. The weapon is all black-painted-steel save for a wooden butt, and a bakelite grip. It has a long, curved box magazine in front of the trigger and action, and a raised block for the simple iron sights in front of the magazine. There is a simple stamped and dimpled tube around the barrel for the grip, but no visible gas tube. The barrel is shorter than that on the Jenny, though the rifle as a whole is a little longer.

From far away, she can hear the music. She knows its source is nothing of the external world, but it is vivid all the same. The sound of a bow pressing slowly, but firmly against a string, and then making a sharp turn. And just beyond perception are sounds deeper still, accompanied by colors of purple and yellow, and colors beyond perception that linger like the lights of closed eyes.

The officer shines the light into Amber's stall, and then passes

Amber must wonder to herself whether this is music of horror, or of relief. Does music arise from the experience of ponies and griffons, or is there something deeper, fate perhaps that is closer to music than to directly lived life? Perhaps this musing is an act of desperation itself.

Amber does not dare exhale, and quietly, until the officer passes on.

The sound continues: distant, high pitched reverberations like rubbing against glass. And the same with the colors: pinks and purples constrained by no definite shape, passing from one into another as you may see on the back of your eyelids. All hint at something more, something connected. Something just beyond the ability of the feeble senses to detect its presence... but it is present all the same. But what is more... Amber feels she can control the presentation of the sounds and colors, at least somewhat.

The officer must be afraid too, as he does not come close to the sheep, nor carefully examine the area behind it. He sacrifices thoroughness for the sake of safety, and in the process Amber is left unnoticed. He moves to the next stall, then to the next, and then to the operation room at the very end of the stable.

The music continues playing, assuming a high pitched but soft, ethereal quality. Is this the sound of the northwind brushing against the edge of the celestial sphere, rubbing against the ether?

The officer continues his pass, and moves some large object in the operation room to look behind it. Finding nothing, he turns around and stares down the center row of the stable, and holds there for several seconds. Then he moves off to the right, opens the door, and exits.

With nothing else of note to draw him in, Silver moves onto the next.

Spectral Streak sticks his head in.

"Looks like props and tapes and such. I found more offices."

The next room down is also rather large. It has tile floors, a couple tables, counters and two sinks along the edge, and a refrigerator.

"This one is like small mess hall."

Out of curiosity, Silver quickly looks to see if the room as a first aid station.

If it does, it must be in the cabinets, as nothing is separate.

Silver does indeed find a first aid kit in the third cabinet, although the first aid kit is relatively simple, with bandages, pins, iodine, non-narcotic pain killers, and rubbing alcohol.

Every little bit helps. Silver takes it with him before he checks the next room.

Amber stays in hush suspense for several seconds before quietly thanking the sheep and creeping out of the stable, mindful to not make any noise or to be visible from a window. Although she had made a distraction, she was not successful in stealing the car like last time. But hopefully her friends are aware of what's up and will stay hidden.

Amber climbs the steps to the top floor of the barn for a better view.
