The Captain leans back, eyes wide, ears folded back, and his right hoof raised in the air. He is not the only one, as several other ponies in the group, like the mulberry pony, Steppe Eagle, and even the more distant Pipette, look back with wide eyes towards Kira. The captain is silent. They are all silent.

It’s easy enough to lift the panel and access the radial engine in each pod, with its cooling lines, radiator, and super charger. Though the lone, separated pod and the engine attached by pylon to the carriage are obvious, what is less obvious is the location of the radar equipment. To be sure, the forward attends is visible. But the actual equipment must be behind aluminum panels in the carriage

High Sewn looks down and over Amber, raising a hoof and placing it to her chin. She stands there silently, as if in deep thought for several silent seconds.

“Well… one of these days, we’ll get you some proper attire. You’ll need it when it gets warm.”

Amber is a smaller mare, but on the stockier side. Maybe something that would make her look taller would be appropriate?

Kira's ears fold down, and her expression turns quite sad as tears well up in her eyes. She manages a limp, sad tongue flick before sniffling. "I-I-I'm sorry, I..."

The noodle could really use a hug right about now.

Silver sets up the charges in the engines, then goes back into the airship. He does the most logical thing, which is to look for a radar screen as naturally the radar equipment should be close by to there.

"Well, to see how your dress size has kept pace with growth, for instance. You're a bit older in your adolescence so you wouldn't have grown as much, but if the dress was not made or fitted for you and if you're growing, these small changes can cause a mismatch in size. I know many ponies are okay with clothing that is ever so sightly large or small, but for those who are careful about it... Then there's also the issue of wear. Clothing may last a while, but not forever, and small damages can accumulate over time.

With both explosives set up, Silver gets out the detcord, connecting it to the demolition kit in the airship and feeding it through a window outside. He then takes it to the other kit(s) in the engine(s), hooking it/them to the cord and extends it out further away from the airship. He calls out to the other creatures before he does anything else:

With everyone clear, Silver lights the detcord. The cord, itself filled with explosive, rapidly explodes rather than burns all along its length fast enough that the pony eye has trouble following it. Almost simultaneously, the demolition kits all explode together with a mighty BOOM, sending pieces of metal and machinery flying and leaving smoking craters in the airship where they had been set up.

After the debris settles, Silver goes up to the airship and quickly takes pictures of the destroyed components before the structure is given the chance to collapse.

He gets as close as he well dares to take the picture, which is close enough that the fog isn't obscuring the picture but not so close as to melt the camera and/or his flesh. Also probably best to try to angle the picture away from the glare produced by the gasoline fire.

Alright, with that, the party's business in the area should be concluded. Silver leads the party in the direction of the missing airponies, while Kira slumps down and, for lack of a better term, "drags her tail" along. She really could have used that win.

The party knows where the last set are most likely to be - on the opposite side of the bay, along that long peninsula leading towards the lighthouse. Down the mountain, along the ridge that runs down the middle of the island, then up the string of hills north of the whaling station. At every point, however, the party will be near - not necessarily on, but near - the bay that is the landing spot of the GRU soldiers.

The airship continues to burn, providing an orange glow against the mountain. The clouds that for so long have engulfed the mountain finally start to move away, and now as the party descends, looking backwards they can see the naked basalt stones that litter the hillside and tint it grey and black. After not much time, even the airship can be seen.

Then black smoke pops up on the hillside, followed by rumbling that shakes the ground. The GRU have started shelling around the party's former position.

Kira's making it really hard for Mala to ignore the urge to pet the noodle. If you ignore the snake tail she's just sort of dragging behind her as she slithers forward automatically, he would be convinced that she's just a really sad pony with droopy face and teary eyes and folded ears. Somehow a sad tongue flick feels more heartbreaking than any sad pony he's ever seen in his life.

Mala looks to either side before advancing ahead and leaving his position in the rear. Kira likely sees him from her periphery advancing on her, though she does not hear him. Then she feels him tentatively, and awkwardly, place a paw on her back and mane, and try to pet her. He has several individual paws, and save for the occasional touch of a claw, the pads of his paws are noticeably softer than the edges of pony hooves.

Kira: "Oh, well, see, Silver recommended that I try to use my appearance to try to spook the possessed ponies in that airship straight like I did with the other pony earlier that I coiled around. Anyways it didn't work so I tried beating down the door so I could get in and subdue them so we could get moving, and also because I assumed the door was locked because if it wasn't then they could have just exited the room at any time and they never did. Well I guess I overdid it a bit because the door kinda...came off it's hinges and flew across the room. It pinned one of the possessed ponies under it and I couldn't come into the room without risking crushing the pony under the door, so in order to subdue the pony who was not underneath a door I kinda put his head in my mouth and dragged him out to constrict him. I wasn't hurting him, I just needed to make him pass out due to lack of oxygen, and of course I would never in a million years actually try to eat him. It's just easier for us to use our mouths to grab onto others in that instance, you know? There wasn't enough room to get my tail in there and it would have left me exposed, and hooves aren't exactly the greatest grappling instruments in the world. Anyways, the captain saw that and I guess it's not exactly the best introduction to lamias to see one with your pony's head in their mouth and them coiled around tightly."

Perhaps, though the odds that monster would fly to fast or too high and knock the ponies over is high. The bottom line is that any unconscious pony necessarily has to be carried by other ponies. That requires two able bodied ponies per unconscious one, and they will move at at best half the pace of free, able bodied ponies.

Down the mountain, along the ridge that runs down the middle of the island, then up the string of hills north of the whaling station. At every point, however, the party will be near - not necessarily on, but near - the bay that is the landing spot of the GRU soldiers.

The radio turns on. There is static. It is loud at first, but then smooths out, until the channel is clear and almost non-existent. Then there is a voice. The voice is accented, but not to Severyana. In fact, it's likely a native ponish speaker. The voice is relatively deep and draws his words out, slowly and deliberately.

"Hello there, my fellow creatures. I gather you have some hesitance towards what our future can be?"

I suspect that this may be the case."

It’s of the same fundamental nature as the other creations of Our Fellow Traveller, though it is new. It has no obvious weapons. The creatures it is modeled off of must be ponies, griffins, and hippogriffs.

As Posey and Monstro cut into the creature's flesh, Posey can see that there is no blood. What can be seen inside is simply darker, black or dark grey, but with no running fluids. A small amount of air escapes the creature's mouth, barely making a "hissing" sound. One of the wings is so badly hit by Posey near the shoulder that it only just barely hangs on. It is nearly completely severed off, and certainly cannot flap. The opposing wing now moves in towards the body, unable to flap for the unequal lift. But even with four wings, it hovers just fine.

Silver eventually decides that to keep his rifle out, but he no longer looks frozen in place. "We were more on receiving end of that philosophy than on giving end. Changelings do not have mage support corps as we do, but they knew to focus them should presence of mages on battlefield be known." Looking up at where the creature spawned, Silver frowns. "No doubt Traveler will know that it was killed so swiftly. He may try to focus on you and Monstro in future, seeing you both as greatest threat within our party."
