In the far-off, northern island of Mended Horn, the party there has learned that they face an enemy they have dubbed "The Traveller." They have decided to go to an old, abandoned village there in hopes of rescuing some communist sailors.

In Baltimare, Dark Star tries to get things in order, while Virgin Flame looks for her old friend.

Still smiling
"Oh, good. You're doing your part." He raises an eyebrow, still using a hoof to lean against the wall
"What kind of job, exactly? Anything? Do they have any qualifications? I'm guessing you mean in the food service, otherwise I don't think you'd have come to me."

He leans over and whispers into Dark Star's ears
"They aren't griffins or diamond dogs, are they?"

The bat pony turns her head around. Her slit pupils widen to almost normal, circular eyes, and she opens her mouth and lips to a contorted expression of horror, showing off her unnatural fangs.

"Hey, what are you doing?!"

Vir places her hooves on the bat's back to mount her, moves a hoof towards the door to close it... and slips. She falls onto the bat pony's back, with her chin hitting the furry back on a section where the muscles of the second-shoulder to which the wings are mounted can be felt. Then she slips further, and falls off. The bat her self is pushed down, and her hoofs slide across the wooden floor, but stop before she is completely split and knocked to the ground. After a second, she stands tall, and turns around

Paltry responds,

"Я бы подумал, что комиссар Черный Каблук расскажет им, что происходит... Возможно, он проявил слишком много осмотрительности? Это, э-э, должно быть секретным, понимаете? Я вообще не должен говорить с вами об этом, но это то, что нужно знать. Может быть, мне стоит рассказать им обо всем, что происходит? Думаю, что должен. По крайней мере, опасность. Позволь мне им рассказать." - "I would have thought that Commissar Black Heel would have told them what was happening... perhaps he used too much discretion? This uh, this is supposed to be secrete, you know? I'm uh, not supposed to be speaking to you about this at all, but uh, this is something that needs to be known. Maybe I should tell them everything that is going on? I think I should. At least the danger. Let me tell them."

He picks up the speaking piece of the radio, and starts to speak into it

At Paltry's mentioning of him not supposed to be speaking to Silver about it, Silver whispers in his ear: "Вы же не думаете, что это "отряд убийц", да? Ну, вы понимаете, никаких свидетелей?" - "You don't think this is a "kill squad", do you? Well, you know, no witnesses?"

While Silver engages the radio, Brie walks over toward the chain gang.
"Apologies, I trust this has been quite harrowing, but do any of you speak ponish?" he calls out, when in range of the chain gang.
He repeats the phrase (dont make me google translate 2x) in changeling, and then in Kirian

I kinda regret I made Vir do this. ^^

Vir scrunches and shakes her cute nose. She blinks at the bap.

"Queer?" she asks befuddled, then she snorts. "That's not a word."

She stands up. She looks away sheepishly.

"Sorry, I should have asked for cowsent before touching. But I know pegasi love preening and you seemed..." Vir rolls her hoof in the air. "Frustrated."

He tilts his head, letting an ear flop down and squinting his eyes slightly, pulling his lips back

"Да? Что? Нет. С чего бы вы так взяли? Они здесь, чтобы помочь нам, а не причинить нам боль." - "Huh? What? No. Why would you think that? They are here to help us, not to hurt us."

>>186195
Assuming this is the possessed ponies

Brie does not get a response in Wechselback or Kirian. But he doesn't exactly get a response in commie-speak either. Instead he gets something that is either gibberish, or some other language.

>>186196
"Ugh" She shakes her head

"Look, I don't know how you convinced not one, but at minimum two different ponies that you were sane and harmless enough to let through to get here, but I'm not repeating their mistake. I do not want to join your weird filly fiddler cult. I am busy. Get out of my office."

Silver: "Ну, Верховный Совет — это не совсем то правительство, которое хорошо воспринимает неудачи. Также не очень хорошо выглядит то, что они пытались купить сверхъестественного демона из другого измерения, чтобы насильно распространять коммунизм, и они могли бы беспокоиться, что кто-нибудь из выживших свидетелей может заговорить..." - "Well, the Supreme Council isn't exactly a government that takes failure well. It also doesn't look good that they were trying to buy a supernatural demon from another dimension to forcefully spread communism, and they might be worried that any surviving witnesses might talk..."

Vir scratches the back of her neck. Feeling a bit sad that her chance got blown on one of her weird impulses. So she tries to resolve the situation like she usually does.

"Look. I'm sorry. I shouldn't have done that. You were kinda flipping out so I just felt like I needed to do something, you know," Vir says and then tries to give her a friendly smile with closed eyes. "And yeah, I am crazy but only hurt ponies in self-defense and also... I don't play any of those, uh... String guitars."

I believe the possessed ponies have had their ears covered to avoid them heading and understand coherent sentences.

>>186201
Now his ears pop up, and his eyes widen

“Что? Нет... Они здесь, чтобы исправить свою несправедливость. И спасти нас! Они не убьют нас, верно? Они должны знать, что мы не мятежники... Комиссар Черный Пята сказал им так... Они здесь, чтобы убить Черного Бога.” - “What? No... They're here to right their wrongs. And save us! They won't kill us, right? They must know that we're not rebels...

Just saying now, Brie would like to go down the line one by one to find one who can speak any of his four languages.
I promise (inspite of the intended consequences) to be quick and brief. He will serve tea, and ask whoever can speak without translation some hard questions, but in good spirit.

Silver looks sadly at Paltry. "Они послали Разведывательное управление Министерства обороны. Это не ваш обычный армейский батальон или корпус морской пехоты. Это не те пони, которых они посылают, чтобы исправить свои промахи, это пони, которых они посылают, чтобы скрыть свои промахи. Они, возможно, даже не будут здесь, чтобы убить Путешественника, просто усмирить его, чтобы они могли вернуть его домой и изучить, как его использовать." - "They sent the Defense Intelligence Agency. This isn't your average Army battalion or Marine Corps. These aren't the ponies they send to fix their mistakes, these are the ponies they send to cover up their mistakes. They might not even be here to kill the Traveler, just subdue it so they can bring it home and learn how to use it."

Virs blinks twice.

"Tribalist? I only hate changelings and besides aren't you the one with the blackhooves?" Vir asks before she shakes her head. "Look. I'll be out of your hair after two simple questions and then you don't need to see me ever again. Though, I feel like Princess Lunda would be a good pick for you if you'd ever consider..."

She trails off.

"Please," she pleads with big eyes.

When Brie pulls the plugs off of the first possessed pony, he turns his head towards the source of the sound and speaks in the Ponish language.

Why do you reject the offer? You must not understand it. Where is the commissar? And why do I sense more ponies?”

Silver: "Я согласен, что его нужно уничтожить, но сомневаюсь, что эти пони здесь для этого. Верховный Совет знал об опасностях силы этой штуки, и все равно решил купить ее для своих целей. Они не сдадутся только потому, что несколько жалких пони вроде нас впервые ощутили ее настоящий ужас. И они, конечно же, не позволят пони вроде нас выйти в мир и рассказать другим, чему мы стали свидетелями." - "I agree that it must be destroyed, but I doubt these ponies are here for that. The High Council knew the dangers of this thing's power, and they still chose to purchase it for their own purposes. They won't give in just because a few pathetic ponies like us have experienced its true horror for the first time. And they certainly won't allow ponies like us to go out into the world and tell others what we've witnessed."

Suddenly, a light bulb lights up over her head. Metaphorically. ^^

"How about this? You tell me where I can find some anarchist and either I beat them up or they beat me up. I figure it's a win-win for you in either sitch."

I was thinking that Kira would use her survival skill to track down the marines specifically, rather than going to a specific landmark. We don't know that the marines are there or somewhere else, and while I do have a plan for how to keep the Defense Intelligence Agency busy, I don't think the planned distraction would work forever.

"О нет, я не думаю, что они знали, что это такое. Не думаю, что они верят, что такое может существовать в природе. Я до сих пор не уверен, что такое может существовать в природе. Это слишком похоже на легенды. Но э-э-э, они не могли быть здесь, чтобы убить нас, не так ли? - "Oh no, I don't think they knew what this thing was. I don't think they believe that such a thing can exist in nature. I'm still not sure that such a thing can exist in nature. It is too much like the things of legend.

I'm not sure where you're getting the idea that they have been cured of their thralldom. The party hasn't figured out how to cut them off. The best they've figured out is that they can blind and partly deafen them.

Of the thralls, Sea Stone is in the best condition. Then another three have partly non-lethal damage, and two are probably still unconscious. Then from the recent set, both have only non-lethal damage, but Kira tried to squeeze one of them. These are likely still in bad shape, though they should recover more quickly.

Then of course there are the two non-converted ponies, plus two more unconscious.

The faintest of ringing starts to emit from Brie, who visibly jerks at the sound, quickly reaching a hoof into a chest pocket. The ringing immediately subsides. Oulling out a fancy pocket watch, he opos it open and peers at it.
"Huh. It's New Years eve? I completely lost track of the date!" He looks up from the watch, his body language initially very affable, saying "Haaa..." before his gesture diminishes. He looks around at the grim scene before shrugging.

"Saint Christopher... vaguely familiar..." She says, not looking at Vir.

From down the hall through the still open door can be heard shouted "Don't have too much fun with your guest now." The bat pony's ears perk up, she moves her head to the hallway and yells "Shut UP!" She sighs, turns around, places her wings tightly against her barrel, and walks back to her desk. But she doesn't look forward. She keeps her head turned 110 degrees back, that is to say, as far back to the right as she can turn it, and she keeps her ice blue eyes narrowed and locked on Vir with lips pressed together. She goes past the desk, her left hoof eventually coming in contact with the lower shelf of the left most bookshelf. She pretends there is nothing wrong, and turns in place, turning around and then sitting down at her desk, never moving her eyes from Vir. But when she sits down, she scrunches, and her ears go down, as if the act of sitting down has suddenly made things worse. Maybe it has, as she is almost trapped in this room, the door still open.

"FIne. I don't remember it, but I can look through my notes."

She breaks eye contact with Vir for the first time since moving back, looks down, and then glances back up with a clear frown.

"It would be in the file cabinet."

She turns around, and starts going through the file cabinet.

His ears twitch, he opens his mouth to speak, almost makes out "Het," but stops, still keeping his lips up high and showing off all of his teeth on his yellowed mouth. His ears go back, and he sits there in silence. Then he closes his mouth, and licks his dry lips.
