"Yep. She's from Chiropterra."
She's kind of bright for a bat though. Bright in color, I mean.
"Well, either way, we need to get her out of here. Call Customs and they'll set her up with one our jobs or whatever they do."
"Alright kid, move out of here. We have cargo to move. And you can't eat it."

"Thank you! That's actually what I'm here about, I need to talk with someone about something important."

She puts her forehooves on the edge of the crate to push herself out of it, but before she can the two dock workers notice something moving and dangling off of the side of the crate. Something odd. Something living.

That something appears to be the end of a snake's tail, yellow with a series of red diamonds running up the back of it as its form disappears into the mass of fruit. And, again, it is moving as if it is very much alive.

"Well, it's about Customs..." She's stopped from her explanation at the dock workers freaking out. She turns her head to try to see what they're pointing out but can't see anything. "Snake? Where?" In contrast to the reaction of the two fully grown stallions, the young mare seems not bothered in the slightest. In fact, she sounds a bit intrigued as to how a snake ended up in her crate. The two stallions may not however pick up on this, as two more things become far more immediately apparent as the mare begins to fully turn around in the crate to try to spot this snake.

First, as the two get a first good view at her back, they realize that not only does she not have bat wings or any wings to speak of, there isn't even any sign that she had wings in the first place. No nubs, no scars, nothing.

Second, and far, far more obvious, occurs immediately afterwards. A great commotion of activity within the crate begins to disturb large quantities of the bananas held within. Some fall out over the edge of the crate, others simple swirl around the mare. But with all of the disturbance, more of the mare's body is exposed, past her upper torso, which is when the two stallions notice where her torso with all of its fur ends...and where the scale begin. Yellow scales.

She looks back at the two stallions, equally confused but for far different reasons. "What's wrong?"

As she says this, the mare begins rising out of the crate, towering over the two ponies likely entirely by accident. The dock workers see more of her, more scales, both the yellow on her back and sides, and her smooth white underbelly. It's now that the reality of her size begins to dawn on the two poor hapless ponies.

As a final cherry on top, as she looks now down upon the two stallions, her tongue flicks out at them. A forked tongue.

"W-WAIT!" She leans forward in her crate full of fruit, causing the entire thing to fall forward and the bananas to spread out across the ground. She lets out an "oof" as she falls to the ground with all of the surely bruised yellow and green fruit and gets up to reveal her full, true form.

From the waist up, she appears to be a normal, if larger than average, golden blonde bat pony, with the red slit eyes, big floofy ears, and little fangs to match. Her red mane is fairly short, and off to the side of her head a couple braids of hair hang down held together with beads. She lacks wings, which may tip onlookers off that something isn't right with her if they for some reason refuse to look below her waist. Below her waist, her fur transitions to scales that make up part of a large, long snake tail. It's hard to judge the full length of her tail just by eyeballing it, as it winds back and forth behind her, but it is easily anywhere from 15 to perhaps even 20 ft. in length,1.5 ft. wide around what must be the stomach portion of her body, and 1 ft. wide elsewhere. In the crate her scales appeared yellow, but it was just because of the bananas reflecting off of them: in reality -- now that she is no longer contained by the fruit -- they are an almost metallic gold color, with red diamond patterns with black outlines running down her back all the way to the end of her tail. Her underside is smooth, flat, looks to be very different from the scales on the sides and back of her tail, and appears to be either white or something very close to it.

Amidst the scattered bananas, several non-fruit items lie on the floor: a backpack and saddlebags that appear to contain several more items hidden within, a bedroll and tent, a set of what appears to be leather armor studded with metal scales, a long sharp spear, a bow of unusual foreign make, and two bags of arrows. She stops to gather her possessions back up before she chases frantically after the two ponies, slithering along the docks with her tail trailing behind her.

"W-wait! Don't go! Come back!"

The ponies seem uninterested in talking. And the ponies were supposed to be friendly...

The Interloper learns that ponies can run surprisingly fast. She might be able to catch one, like catching an antelope, in a quick lunge, but much further, they will outrun her.

Outrun her they do indeed. In the time it took to gather her belongings, the two ponies got a significant headstart on this large, interloping noodle, and her large snake body can only slither so fast over a long period of time. She still calls out to them as she chases after them along the docks.

"Wait, I'm friendly! Can you at two at least tell me where Customs is? Please!?"

I kind of understood the league to be relatively low tech in terms of warfare, based on the game mechanics.
Posey is certainly more interested in magic than anything else, but she'll retrieve whatever she's told to.

The two ponies have what the Interloping Nope Noodle can recognize as carbine rifles. They run towards the edge of the pier and then, well, they act as if they ran into an invisible barrier. Which... This is Equestria. They have magic and stuff. Is there an invisible barrier there? I mean those two ponies from earlier ran right past this point, but did they turn on a barrier? Did it let them through?

One is a grey unicorn, and the other is a frightened looking aquamarine pegasus. Both look terrified. Interloping Nope Noodle better check behind her to make sure nothing jumped onto the pier. I mean, she's pretty sure there was nothing on that ship... but how can she be sure? She didn't see every hold.

"Celestia! It talks?!" the grey one says

>>172181
Yes. That's why stealing a car part makes sense. Because they don't have those back at home.

Cuddling a griffin sounds easy, but it's not, as they are rather large and have 6 appendages. She's not that much smaller than him, after all.

She tilts her head, as much as she can in the limited space of the bed, and looks towards Silver.
"You lived in Ponyville? Isn't that where the pink one and... the others were from?"

>>172184
Looking behidnd her, there are more crates, a crane off to the side, quite a few bananas, but nothing dangerous. Unless the Bananas are dangerous. Actually... Is she sure they aren't? I mean, she's been around the bananas for like, a week, but... No, it can't be the bananas.

The interloping nope noodle lets out a sigh of relief, and smiles gratefully to the two ponies from a distance.

"Great! Thank you!" After a couple seconds of awkward silence, she coils around herself. She hums a tune from a foreign land while she waits for Customs to come over.

Some time passes, though surely only a few minutes. The grey pony, then the aquamarine pony, inch slightly closer to the interloper.
"Is it safe?" One asks the other

But after a couple minutes, a machine pulls up, and a trio of ponies get off. The one in the lead is a copper-brown earth pony with a green uniform and a large, wide brimmed hat. Behind him is a charcoal... Is that a bat winged pony? You know, she hasn't actually seen one of those. I mean, of course they exist but this is the first time to see one in pony. Anyways, the third pony is a golden colored pegasus. Both he and the bat pony are wearing the same, green uniforms and wide brimmed hats. Two have long rifles with long blades on the top, and the third has a rather angry-looking set of pipes.

All three move right through the invisible barrier. The copper pony, whose rifle hangs loosely on his side, pointing up, comes about 10 feet away from Kira

Copper: "Is this what you're afraid of? Ah, it's just a snake."
Despite having approached dangerously close to the Interloper, within strike-range of a hug, he has the confidence to look back to his companions.
Bat: "Looks like a pony"
Peg: "Some kinda snake pony"

Today is very possibly the interloper's first occasion to see a pony up close and not just in a book. They are medium sized, friend-shaped creatures that look quite a bit like lamias, but with hindquarters that are more equine in shape. All in all they are rather similar looking to zebras, but more vibrantly colored.

The copper colored one says
"Look at it. It's what, 6 meters? It's a small one. We got ones bigger than that on the r- holy shit the sounds it makes!"

The friend alarms in her head are going off like crazy, but she has to silence them for the sake of her mission! As for the noises, whether it's her voice or the gurgle from her empty hungry stomach, they are very much clear. She tries to straighten her posture and makes herself look as presentable and respectable as possible for the friend-shaped creature in front of her.

"I am Kubana Kirafiki, of the city of Dhamaji in Southeastern Zebrica. My tribe, the Kuwinda Kwa Maua, is suffering under a campaign of genocide.

"Now we can help you fill out some forms, but you're going to have to bring your monster to the Customs House. This is much too complex to do here on the harbor."
