Set six years after season 6, Occupied Equestria presents an alternative history where Chrysalis chose a different approach to her second attack on Equestria. The Changelings have conquered half of Equestria, while a former Equestrian colony - soured to Princess Twilight's notion of harmony with all creatures thank to their dealing with griffins - Invaded and took the other half. In Baltimare and the Equestrian Southeast, the magic of friendship has weakened, as Communists, Changeling infiltrators, Fascists, gangs, and corrupt creepy politicians threaten the city. This role play is based in large part upon the Equestria at War mod for Hearts of Iron 4, and uses D&d 3.5e mechanics.
Silver is learning about foreign pony cultures, Dark Star is preparing to put on a play for the children of the Saint Prancis Orphanage, Onyx has received several possible missions from the government, Brie is buying clothing, presumably for a long journey. Ash and Iron are leaving the office of a now enraged gangster... or not.

So does anyone have any questions before I lead everyone on an adventure that totally won't get them captured, raped, drained, killed, and then raped again?

While Onyx is waiting for this train stuff, he gets out the whiskey he grabbed and takes a good hard chug.

It's just a question of hardness/sharpness, or at least under the rules pertaining to breaking and entering.
An Adamantine knife will be able to cut through most non-magical materials because it's harder than any non-fictional material. Small objects, like locks, door frames, and glass panels have hit points and can be sundered cleanly if you have the time to do it.

Cut into, yes. Cut through, maybe on a good dice roll, but its not like Adamantine is lightsabre-tier; there are still rules that govern and a decent size wrench will disable a device (train mechanics, for example) just as easy as an absurdly expensive (comparatively) adamantine dagger.

As Onyx Not-a-Changeling chugs, he remembers his new ID card, that beautiful enchanted piece of aluminum that distiguises him as a born citizen of Neighagra, Bales District, East Equestria, and definitely not a former member of the Crystal Empire military, who would be destined to be a slave worker for the Hegemony were he to cross the border by chance

Well, it'll automatically overcome the hardness of any non-magical material, and you can take 10 to sunder objects if you're not pressed for time, plus they don't get opposed rolls when unattended, do you could just carefully cut into them.
Then again, it's a tool made out of a fictional harder-than-diamond material that costs a much as a small house, so it's bound to be reliable even if non-magical.
Adamantine is useful for 2 reasons: damage reduction on armor, and sundering almost any non-magical object to bust through doors, walls, and anything else in your way.
Pic unrelated, because I couldn't find the meme I was looking for.

Okay, seriously. I know most fan fic writers want to make Equestria in Trudea's Canada, but this is set in basically 1943 America, with a quisling government under a foriegn Nazi-esque power. Homosexual sex is probably illegal (although just a fine), and is generally frowned upon

I'm just saying that if the plan is to be non-chalant, non-suspicious, and slip under the radar, then in this setting a man with a relative and the relative's sexual partner is more likely to pretend they are 3 unrelated not-gay friends, than 3 unrelated not-gay friends are to claim that they are a relative and his gay partner.

"Roomettes are smaller and cheaper, able to fit two but usually purchased by single travelers. They do not have bathrooms, but there are bathrooms in the train cars. Double bedrooms fit two travelers, have bathrooms, are bigger and more expensive"

Dark Star is about to get an education in just how much this guy likes flowers
he picks up a red rose near him
"Red roses symbolize beauty, passion, desire"
Then a white Rose
"It symbolizes Innocence and Purity, or spirituality."
Then a Pink one near him
"Pink is admiration, happiness, elegance"
He reaches a little further behind him for a deeper red rose
"A burgundy rose signifies unconscious beauty"
then, even further, for a purple rose
"A purple or lavender rose signifies royalty, enchantment, and majesty"
He reaches even further for a blueish purple
"the Blue rose isn't really a natural color. This one right here is actually a purple. And because of that fact, they symbolize the unattainable"
A bit closer, he finds the peach rose
"Peach can be gratitude"
He trots a few steps to find a green rose
"Green symbolizes peace, calm. And Fertility"
Also far, to find an orange rose
"Orange is passion. Attraction. Desire"
Finally, he walks back, more than a few steps, and returns with a very dark Purple rose
"And lastly, we have Black. It symbolizes death. A goodbye. Best used for funerals."

As the three approach the train platform, they first enter into a completely new side of the building. Where as the section with the ticket booths had a tan marble floor and light brown walls with a high ceiling, this area opens up to a number of rail cars with long grey-floored platforms underneath a vaulted glass ceiling. A number of ponies, many carrying trunks of luggage, walk about.
Their train is the Panamare Limited, recently arrived, and to be leaving in 10 or so minutes. At least, that's what it says on the schedule. As they approach, they notice that the pathway leading up to the train is an elegant red carpet, leading up to and along side the various cars. The first part of part of the train to be visible is none other than the Locomotives: streamlined diesels with a stainless steel color, painted with stripes of red and orange and lettered with the name of the Celestial Railway. Even in a country where rolling stock had been depleted and locomotives destroyed, they managed to find brand new diesel locomotives for this train. The line of streamlined stainless steel cars with red and orange stripes continues as they pass the first two cars, a Railway Post Office and a baggage car, not for passengers, and onto the passenger cars. Further down the train, two glass domes can be seen to cap the middle and rear most cars. Periodically, a few red uniformed ponies with red concierge-style hats can be seen helping ponies with baggage, or helping them onto the stairs that lead up onto the open doors of the train
