Welcome back to Occupied Equestria, an RP set in a conquered Equestria, using D&D 3.5e mechanics, and based in large part on the My Little Pony mod for Hearts of iron 4, Equestria at War

The party has successfully stopped the Communists of Baltimare from importing guns and foreign advisers in preparation for a revolt. They have also raided a Griffin freighter involved in arms trafficking, and are prepared to leave and end their long night.

"The Agoge is the formal citizenship test. It consists of a few steps. The first is sword fighting, or sort fencing. The second step is a speed and agility flight competition. How fast you can fly relays, how well you avoid obstacles, fly in danger... The final part was to break into the homes and shops of helots and steal specific items. Now, I barely passed sword fighting, and am an okay flier. Not great, but I passed by a decent enough margin. But I came back with the objectives of several other ponies besides myself on the stealth missions. That's not really in the rules, but they didn't care. I became a citizen. I was also a part of an intelligence gathering association, to spy on the Helots to see if they are planning rebellion. What I heard... I think I got more than one. Maybe that's why that tailor helot was so pissed off at me"

Our little eaves dropper hears this conversation coming from a pair of office workers returning to the zoning commission office after a lunch break.

"Well, it's hardly a normal occurrence, but he got the permits for it even after the archaeological surveys."
"Well, no shit. How many ponies can't develop their lot because of monsters left behind from an ancient burial ground?"
"I'm pretty sure that's not that rare"

>>74354
Yes

>>74355
"My official title is 'anti-subversive activities.' Practically speaking the vast majority of what I do is following Blackhooves employees or civilian officials and seeing if they are taking bribes, stealing weapons, actually sympathize with the rebels, and so forth. I've done more than a little infiltration into communist groups around here, which is why I was a part of the team last night. Besides that, I have more than a little bit of knowledge about changelings and how to find them, since we have those in the East as well. So I help with the identification. Your friend, 'Onyx' I think his name is, was arrested on suspicion of being one and I was called in to certify. I found he wasn't one after a chemical we apply to try to disrupt their magic, well, he didn't turn into a changeling. So he was cleared. Not that I have seen many in the field. So yes, I am a sort of general purposes anti-subversive activities officer. We're a bit short staffed, so I work a lot of overtime and jobs I'm technically not required to do"

And she has a look of worry as well. "Well, that's kind of what I want to find out as well. I grabbed what must have been her briefcase, since hopefully she had some documents in there. They are magically enchanted though, so we'll need some time to get a wizard to open those. Anyways, there could be a number of reasons. Maybe the Changeling Empire wants to keep track of the Communists in south east Equestria, and so replaced a Stalliongrad spy they intercepted. Maybe that changeling was actually a Stalliongrad agent. The simplest answer is that the Changelings want to destabilize South East Equestria in advance of an invasion, or to prevent the use of these provinces for resources. And maybe it's something worse..."

Primarily, he's looking for a lead into if the Waterfront Gang has had anything to do with the massacre at the pier, preferably listening from a member of the gang itself.

And thus Spark learns the benefit of being a government employee, as they do indeed have the time to just talk to strangers rather than doing work t. public sector

"Yeah, so in North city there was this area of lots that were cleared to allow for multifamily and some businesses by this business pony named Glass Horizon, and one of these lots had an old house on it with what was always believed to be a flooded quarry. And all this required a change in zoning in that area, because there was a plan by the city to develop new business over there, and well, gentrify a blighted area. But when the excavated around the old house they found grave sites, which was okay because they were native graves, too old to be protected by law, but when they drained the quarry... well, it wasn't a quarry, because whoever made that rocky set of crypts did not have good intent. It's hardly a severe infestion because the necromancer that must have done that has been gone since before Equestrian settlement, so most of the dangers are gone, but it is enough to keep crews off the area"

"Sure" says the employee. She circles an area in North town on the map, with an arrow of the exact position.

"Actually though, I think what you want to do is go to a real estate office and ask about the property. When you go in, tell them you are looking to clear the Silver Springs quarry."
She circles a spot on the map
"It's this office right here you want. They might even pay you"
