Dark Star has been contracted by the occupying government to lead a team to infiltrate and stop a meeting of the Communist party in Baltimare. He discovers that they are importing arms, and more importantly, special forces advisers from foreign nations. Things reach a literal boiling point when a warehouse of gasoline drums is set on fire, and now we will see who will live and who will die

So let me see if I have this right. Toward the shore is the encroaching troops, and away from the shore there's more troops?

This room must have been a navigation room. There is a big table in the center with a map, and a couple desks by the left wall and the far wall

"I was about to go to the other side of the ship so we can board the boat without any fear of these ponies at the docks cutting off this means of escape." Iron keeps trying to turn on the boat. "Why did you come back?"

On the desks are papers that don't seem to have any immediate relevance. You get the impression that the papers on these desks have been moved quickly.

Well, it's a big as hell map. Like, the full table. He'd have to set his drink down. Fortunately, there is a chest on the far wall for that purpose. Anyways, he picks up the papers. They look like portions of a manifest or contract. Judging by the pagination, they must have been part of a larger stack that fell out

Iron stops his attempts on the boat and returns to the dock. "Well, if you say what you are implying is true, I suppose I can live for a few more seconds. Unless you made them target me." Iron decides to start going to the ship. "Follow me, I can guide you to him."

I grumble as I set my drink down no the chest. "You better not spill Tipsy, you hear me boat?" I fold the map up the best I can and then glance at the papers to see if there is anything that would stand out to a pony of average intelligence.

So Brie flies off toward the sea, since that's the only apparent avenue of escape, intent on gaining distance and altitude, from which he might be able to circle around behind the encroaching troops. We're talking minutes of ascent, and much is likely to occur in that time, from which he should have a decent vantage of.

"By the way, we spotted a griffon that did not align with the interests of the communists. Said she was from Sunset," He says while going up the stairs to the top floor. "Sadly, she was not very talkative about her group and left. Any information on them?"

Mostly it is numbers. But it does have the names of some manufacturers and purchasers

The air is colder as he ascends, certainly darker. There are clouds further to the North, city lights to the west, and darkness with scattered lights to the east

"Sunset? That's the capital of New Mareland. She told you she was working for the Blackhooves"

"Not that I remember. She told me, somewhat jokingly, that she was part of a large band of thieves." Iron is nearing Dark Star's position. He seems somewhat troubled.

I shrug and take them. Maybe studying them later will prove useful. I quick check the chest after reclaiming my drink, knowing full well that the griffon got to anything inside first.

Eventually, once he's reached sufficient elevation, he's going to circle back around and then descend to try and approach the troops from behind. I mentioned that, I'm sure.

"And I don't suppose they left the key around here somewhere..." I double check around the room.
I also assume that I don't have any way inside it besides trying to break it?

He stops outside the room. "She was cryptic. She could be a changeling for all I know. Something about I should not haven seen her face and jumped off the railing of the room Dark Star is in right now." He opens the door for Skies and notices Spark is gone. "You can stay with Dark Star. I think he's pondering about recent events. I will go look for the unicorn fellow." He starts to walk off, looking for Spark.

"Changelings can be anypony, anywhere, anytime. At least that's what we tell the ponies anyways, in the hopes that they'll be less willing to conspire against the government if they think they may be helping foreign spies. But obviously, if she was intending to operate secretly, it's a bad thing for people to see her in her work"

"I guess. We tried to trade information for safety, but, as I said, she jumped out the window. I suppose that is important." Iron is looking around the adjacent rooms to where Dark Star is. "Why are you cordial to me after all I said at the warehouse?."

"Might as well give it a swing." I, probably foolishly, take the rifle and bring it down onto the chest as hard as a level 5 unicorn sorcerer can.

Iron looks to the roof, somewhat uncomfortable. "It was not nice of me to talk to a mare like that. The loss of your tribe is truly the most horrible thing a pony can go through. I suspect I would be just like you if it happened to me." Iron walks a bit to the left. "While I disliked that you seek to spread the bleakness of the world to Ash instead of reassuring there will be someone to protect her, I did go out of line by my accusations of lack of motherhood." Iron walks to the right. "I can see that you are broken, scarred beyond belief by the loss of your family and friends. There is no honor in speaking ill of the disadvantaged." Iron closes the distance between him and Skies. "I ask of you to punch me for my outrageous behavior. To bury the hatchet."

Spark is more than a little confused as to why they stashed this in the navigation room, but hands the bars to the eager Iron.

"I don't have use for these things. I might have a use for a few bits, but we will worry about that some other time. I think that is all the rooms on this floor. Do we have time to explore the one below us?"

"It seems the giant force outside will not shoot at us, so I believe that we can." He is busy trying to fit all the bricks on his person. "I can follow you if you need my strength."

"I'm sure I will. Who knows if there are any other foes on this damn boat." I head out of the room and look into the room on the left. "Dark Star? You coming?" mainly using this as an excuse to see if Blue Skies is in there still and will come along, but hopefully Dark will wake up

Iron nods. He decides to use the chest as an impromtu gold carrier, placing all gold bricks in the chest and carrying it on his back. He then follows Spark.

"Now that you mention it. I think that griffon took some documents with her. I could not skim the contents though. Bird was a fast one." Iron ponders. "Anything special about the document? Any signs or emblems to recognize it?"

"I suggest we go to the last door on this walkway. I hold this position if any sneaky survivors attempts to pass through and escape." He unequips his spiked gauntlets.

She laughs. "You're catching on. I'm getting the impression that not all of the items the advisors came with left the ship. That is, seeing as even basic clothing and the like were not found in the rolling mill or on the motor boat. I'm guessing they intended to get it later"

It too, is empty, with a similar design. The bed is made, has been moved to the precise center, and the dressers appear to have been aligned to make the room symmetrical. On the other wall, a mirror sits in the precise center, with two lamps that are each equidistant from the wall.
A lone chair has been pushed up against the side of the wall to allow for more space

"A shame he had to go down to unseen and non-uniformed attackers in an ambush. Then again, I'm sure he had seen very many of his friends killed in ambushes, and expected he would die the same way. To those GLA types, the Griffonion commoners possess a unrivaled strength. No enemy dare oppose the griffon worker directly, they only ever try to subvert it, surprise it, or mislead it. No, it's not an individual strength, but a collective one. A whole tribe. I think he felt vindicated, in a weird way, in his final moments. No creature dare oppose the Griffin worker on an even battlefield"
