Silver can see that there is a window in a big office which itself has a window out the back through which light pours and clouds hang above. The drone in question has taken a desk as cover, and is shooting atop it.
That's at least one hit, but I'm a little skeptical of there being two

One hit is better than nothing. If Silver can, he ducks back into cover before he gets shot.

After forging her letter, Posey looks for a mailbox with a name that corresponds with what she saw. She very clearly says "To Luminous" on the envelope. For good measure, she places her five silver bits in the envelope around the letter, just enough to make the sounds of sliding shekels that trigger magpie instincts, so her letter won't go ignored.
She marks the rendezvous in two days time (enough for any wrong recipients to fly it over to the correct target), at midnight in the tunnel, hoping the bait will reach Luminous.
Having set her trap, she trots home at a brisk pace, humming a gentle tune she picked up from a Farbook thrall and she returns to spoil Gloomy and work on her arcane research.

Unless Posey has an encounter tonight, she doesn't do anything else tonight.
She later makes preparations for the rendezvous. She intends to be prepared to meet Luminous. She wouldn't bring her armor, which is too distinctive to catch the griffon off guard, but she would bring her new sword (which, as I checked, is an archaic weapon), her satchel, her spell components, and her cloak.
It would probably help to buy a weighted net, but idk. I'm actually kind of broke rn, and 20 gp for a net is... Well, probably worth it.

The drone, evidently, has to reload.
There is more "Tat tat" and "Tat tat," indicating that Silver is not the only one involved

The drone slumps down. It's clearly not dead, as it makes an in-equine "maaaah" sound that would be almost humerous, were it not so persistent, and filled with gutteral sounds as the creature slowly chokes on its own blood.
Silver can see that there is another drone near it with a submachine gun, styled with the curved magazine on the side the same as the Home Guard medics

A loud "clang" as a steel helmet worn by the drone is hit by a bullet, several "taps" and blue blood is splattered on top of the desk. The drone falls directly down. Near it can still be heard a loud "MAAAAH!" like any other wounded animal, though it morphs occasionally into something resembling a word, or a name, cried loudly in an alien language.
Behind Silver, the purple pegasus has fallen. His submachine gun falls on the floor, and his wings extend, taking up half of the width short hall from the front desk to the window-office. He is silent.

Silver checks the purple pegasus' pulse before anything, even if it's a vain hope.
Can Silver recognize what the dying changeling is saying?

Silver can do nothing for the Pegasus.
The cream-colored medic, and the orange medic, both rush in with bandages and serum, eager to stop the bleeding. His eyes are closed, and his body shivers in convulsions as he is clearly going into shock.
From the corporal, Silver catches his name, "Highland Wind"
Further over, Silver can tell what the drone is saying. It is a cry for his mother.

Silver leaves the medics to their work as he doesn't want to get in their way. He goes to the changeling instead. With the enemies dealt with, he wants to see: is there anything he can do for him, either to save him or at least ease the pain?

It's a rather familiar problem: the drone is slowly bleeding to death, with a definite danger of drowning in its own blood. Like most shootings, the drone could be saved with a rapid enough administration of medical aid, or at least it could have a half minute ago. Hard to tell now. It's shot through the throat, and is having an increasingly hard time breathing. It's cries are increasingly gargled.
There's always the solution of finally slitting its throat, and ending its misery.
The other drone that sits there to its right behind the desk also seems to be alive, though not in any better condition. It's slumped down. Eyes open and teary, looking kind of sad. Blood spills onto the floor.
It's worth pointing out how lovely this office could be. No, it's not well furnished now, but it has one painting on the wall of Mage Meadowbrook, hoof on a tree, wearing her mask, and with a staff out ready to collect honey. There's one potted plant already moved in, and an empty bookshelf. Admittedly the plant is fake and made of paper, but it's a lovely spot for a plant. The interior side of the office is lined with now shattered windows, and the exterior has several windows, likewise shattered, that view out to buildings behind.

They might be enemies...but as ponies, we need to be better than those we fight. If Silver can do anything to try to save these changelings, he will and does.

The magical coagulant is in short supply. Plasma may work, though its hard to tell with changeling biology. Stitching would take too long, and probably can't work with chitin. Bandages may be applied, at least. Morphine may be applied.

Is there more than one dosage left of the coagulant? Plasma, bandages, and morphine might help the other drone, but this throat wound needs to be closed ASAP before he chokes to death on his own ichor.

Well, his squad had better not get shot then. He uses the last dose for the changeling's neck wound, quickly cleans it, and wraps it and any other wounds up with bandages for good measure. He also positions the changeling's body so that he shouldn't be choking on what blood may be left.
Assuming this changeling is stable, he'd get to work on the other one.

The changeling makes a loud sound, and tries to scrape against the floor to move as Silver comes near it. It ends up falling on its side.
But Silver is able to overpower it and wrap its neck and chest. The creature being on its side may not be the worst thing for its health, at least.
The other one whimpers, and seems to attempt to push itself back, but it has nowhere to go, already pressed up against a desk. And it has no strength left. The lights in its insectoid blue eyes are going out.

Fuck it, time to find out if plasma does anything for changelings. Silver tries to bandage the changeling quickly to stop the bleeding as he starts giving him plasma, hoping that the fluids going in will save him.

The drone makes a whining sound and attempts to opens its wings and fly away as Silver sticks it with a needle. This of course does nothing as it is unable to even unfurl its wings completely.
Silver stuffs the holes tightly with the bandages, which is necessary considering how much of its blood is on the floor.

Silver uses the opportunity to practice his Wechselbalg some more as he tries to manage the wounded changeling.
"Wenn ich deinen Tod wollte, würde ich nicht versuchen, dich zu heilen. Sei ruhig."

>Tfw have only exactly enough gold for this
On the next day, Posey looks for a mundane (non-masterwork) chain shirt, preferably with an equestrian royal guard symbol on it, but anything will do so long as the design isn't suspicious and the cap has a hole for her horn. She places her dastana on her forelegs over the chain shirt. She also buys a net, and a wooden holy symbol of Celestia. She swaps out the arrows in her quiver for some that are not made of bone, and straps her longbow to her armor.
She then sharpens the sword she found in forest, polishes it, and removes any traces of rust, to give it the look of a well cared-for implement.
Oh, this sword registered as magic, right? Does it produce light?
After she's made her preparations, she meditates throughout the rest of the day, spending her time reading up on arcane theory or playing with Gloomy. She makes sure her spell slots are recovered.
Before the night of the rendezvous, she makes sure to do her make-up well (as well as she can practice, without a mirror). August was sexually vulnerable, but Posey can't bet that Luminous won't see through her disguise, especially since he likely has a lot more recent experience in fighting undead than August did. She applies her eyeliner and some false blush to her cheeks. She ties up her name in whichever way her helmet allow, preferably as a braid or a bun.
She stakes out the tunnel she intends to meet August in, eyeing the lighting conditions for any strategic advantage. She measures the depth of the tunnel, as well as its height, making sure where she'd need to stand to avoid a 20 ft downward aerial charge from a griffon.
(Posey is confident in her durability, but she knows better than to underestimate an Arcturian Paladin. Posey knows that a griffin charging with a dive can be a death sentence for her, especially from a paladin with Charging Smite, Leap Attack and Battle Jump, which could easily deal more than her full HP in damage on the first blow)
After all this, she puts Gloomy to bed and waits at the site of her trap. She makes sure to cast Undetectable Alignment on herself before she goes.
Posey has a +6 modifier on her disguise check. It's rolled secretly, so she can't take 10 and doesn't know how good it is.

>There's no downside to wearing a holy symbol as an undead?
Not usually, but now that you mention it, Posey has a phobia of them (on the long list of phobias I gave her voluntarily...), so she wouldn't wear it normally. I guess I'll skip that.
>wouldn't necessarily reflect the stats of in-game NPCs. Still clever though.
If he has positive Int, he'd have to be lacking in Cha, Wis, Str, Con, assuming elite stats.
Ponyfinder unicorns paladins could be Int based though, if they took that feat that lets them use Int for melee.
You're right though, it's wrong to assume, but Posey is hubristic and thinks she's smarter than him anyway.

Accordingly, Silver only gives him a half dose of morphine. It should be enough to dull the pain, and he'll stay aware.
"Bleiben Sie still, schöpfen Sie neue Kraft. Wir sind nur hier, um die Bombe zu entschärfen. Wenn Sie wieder zu Kräften kommen, nehmen Sie Ihren Bruder mit und kehren Sie nach Hause zu Ihrer Mutter zurück. Ihr Bienenstock braucht jedes Paar Hufe, das er bekommen kann."

It's an open question as to whether Posey's letter even gets to the target in the first place, let alone whether the target is willing to aid a rebel faction, or if he sees through the trap. These things can only ever be decided by secret rolls
