Silver fires his rifle at the drone who peaks over the rails and into the narrow space between the flights of stairs. One bullet is unaccounted for, likely having gone all the way to the ceiling. Another goes into the flight of stairs on the other side. And another would have hit the drone, save that the bottom of the set of stairs is in the way. There is a small explosion of wooden splinters. But another bullet seems to hit its mark, though exactly where and to what effect is hard to say. The creature flinches and pulls back out of sight.

From beneath and behind Silver, he can hear a ching ching ching

Silver goes up, and up, and up, slowly approaching that floor, until he's approximately level with it.

Silver can see the barrel of a gun just barely past the edge of the doorway. Not well aimed, but there.

Hmm...so, here's an idea. Since he can see the gun barrel, can he use his magic to pull the gun forward? Even if it remains in the changeling's grasp, perhaps he will be pulled out into the open for an easy shot.

While Silver doesn't quite need to be immediately outside of the door for this to be viable, he may as well approach that closely. As Silver goes up the stairs clockwise, approaching the door at the landing from the left, Silver does not see anycreature on the right side of the entryway. He can simply see a polished softwood floor, and a sort of coral-red colored wall.

Silver tugs on the gun, and pulls it forward. He can feel the resistance as the creature on the other side pulls it back. It comes forward, a little further out. Silver can see by the sight of it that it is a machine carbine, though he cannot see the details of it. Beneath him, and behind him, Spectral Streak and the Salmon station move move forward. And within the hallway, and enemy approaches

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 stallion isn’t quite able to stand on all fours, but with one hoof on the couch he stabilized himself. He looks over at Silver with giant, wide eyes.

“Uh, whatever you say” he says

The mare is also stunned, and leans against the chair, her eyes wide open

“Okay…”

And….. she misses.

The officer strikes back, though it’s hard to say with what, exactly.
