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.
The party now takes on the task of breaking, entering, and investigating the house of Social Democrat politician Comte "Cheese" Burgher, who is alleged to have 'purchased' two young foals. They have already distracted the guards around the gated community and explored most of the property. Now, Ash tries out her role as a 'dog whisperer,' Dark Star contemplates the evidence he has already collected, Silver shifts between stealing jewelry from innocent third parties and talking about the joyful smell of wingpit sweat, Iron harasses guards by talking to them about queer theory while Onyx acts as his his homosexual partner, Brie tries to get the guards drinking on the job, and Spark follows around the group in the attic.

"Right..." Silver looks conflicted, and the fact that he doesn't know if he can trust her outright isn't helping in that regard. But, he also knows he can't hide them from her. So, he takes in a deep breath. "Blue, I need to know I can trust you on this. You will know exactly what I mean when you see. I need to know. Give me your word, sworn on everything you hold dear: your mother, Dark Star, your values, everything." He gives her a pleading look. "Please."

He puts his forehooves on either side of Blue, and puts his face close to hers, like how they were earlier when Silver was reminiscing about being with Storm. He sounds fairly intense when he speaks, like he's really trying to drive a point home. "Give me your word, Blue. I would not ask this of you if I thought you could not do it, but I need to know I can trust you with this before I tell you any more."

"Trust me with what?" Now she is definitely suspicious
"Are you afraid that I will report you to local police? Is that it? I already told you, I am not your local law enforcement. I know what my purpose is, and it is not that"

Silver looks very much frustrated at this. He gives her some space, not happy at all with this. "I presume you heard that he had young changelings captured as well? After we fed them, we took them to my room here at tavern. They are there right now. I do not care if you report me to police. I care if you report them to police. Blue, that is why I needed to know I could trust you with this. I needed to know you would not try to report them to police."

"And you don't think I don't have that eventuality playing in my mind every time I look at them? This is a hard thing to do. But we are dealing with the victims of a crime of a pony on their level. He took foals of both kinds and was going to use them until they were husks."

Silver still looks unhappy that she couldn't even give him her word beforehoof. "They are too young to protect themselves, and they are in need of such protection, especially in place that is very hostile to changelings regardless of their circumstances, so yes. I am protecting them until I can find way to get them back home safely."

She looks seriously confused
"Why would you knowingly help Changelings?"
When she's done pondering that aloud, she sighs, and adds
"Normally our concern with Changelings, when caught, is that they are spies for the Hegemony. Outside of that, we generally consider them to be illegal aliens, and deport them"

"Pfft. They cannot drain your emotions unless you think them up, so it is unlikely that they will do that, unless they have the means to make the happy memories surface. They are picky eaters too." He remembers Kerr's fondness of memories of his brother over her sister.

"The mission is to get the politician removed and to save foals. These are foals in addition to the known targets. Are you saying if there were additional pony foals that we had not know about, that we would have left them?"

Silver doesn't fully understand her confusion. But at the same time, he still looks like he's sore over her not giving her word. "From what they have said, yes. He would show them pictures of mares to turn into and force them to transform into these mares. As colts he had bought were orphans...it would not surprise me if he tried for some...interfamilial relations." He looks sickened by the prospect.

And Blue Skies, for her part, has no idea why some Celestia worshiper she's known for two days wants her to trust him more than her new country, whom she works for, has sworn to protect, and has repeatedly risked her life for
"It is difficult to make a Changeling not enjoy sex with a pony. They must have been doing something entirely wrong if you think they were victims. Anyways, if they actually were mistreated - and not just playing the sympathy card with you - this isn't exactly how we want the story to go down in public. Chrysalis will use it as propaganda that East Equestria mistreats changelings, and it could make Changelings more sympathetic to the local public, which we also don't want"

Iron stands up. "Alright, I can see I need to step out of this mess for the time being. I do not want qualms for any beliefs you may hold. As a parting message, I want you not to shoot them on the spot, you hear me, Star? They could be useful if used right, for either side." With that, Iron walks to the door, opens it and leaves the room.

"I was there, Blue. They had clear signs of both mistreatment and malnourishment. They are young. Somewhere in between their version of foals and teenagers. For record, I do not care what public will think, or what Chrysalis will think, or what either group will do. I will protect them and I will get them home, one way or another."

"Silver, I want you to stop for just a moment, and please, please try to look at this situation from the perspective of a Hegemony Changeling. You hear that a pair of young Changelings were kidnapped from a port in Changeling lands by ponies. You hear that they were horribly mistreated by ponies in ways that cannot begin to be described. And all of this in East Equestria, pony land Chrysalis graciously allowed to remain ruled by ponies. What would you think? Wouldn't you be more inclined to believe that ponies are horrible monsters? Monsters that will steal your hatchings at night and treat them horribly? Monsters that need to be controlled? Ironic, I know, but irony is lost on situations like these."

That it was ponies who went after those who captured the changelings, saved captured changelings, risked life, limb, and liberty for them, to keep them safe and send them home?

"Well, yes and no. With the foals, it is an issue of Comte and those around him. Social Democrats loose a point, Black Hooves and others gain a point. With the changelings, it is an issue of Changeling relations with all of ponykind. Changelings gain a point, ponies loose a point"

"Then make sure it isn't overlooked. Either way, you and I do not have much of choice. If you keep them here against their will, and changelings find out, or if you kill them, it will be many times worse than if you had just returned them. Make big event out of it, make sure all of Changeling Hegemony hears from you about how you found out that Comte had captured and abused changelings and how you had brought him to justice, and how you are returning changelings to their home and their country, where they belong. Make sure they all see with their own eyes and spread first-hoof account on their own before Chrysalis even has chance to direct narrative." Silver is seriously regretting having trusted Blue with this.
