[1] and the first shall be first
[action]
[Anyone out and about today will spot another new face, this one belonging to a dark blue pegasus who looks mighty suspicious of her surroundings, though significantly less surprised than many. Her wings are tensed, as if ready to take off at any time, though the rest of her is carried with confidence. She's even dressed, though in a sharp military-looking uniform rather than anything casual. She doesn't seem shy about walking up to others, either.]
What exactly is the nature of what's going on?

[The letter appears written in crisp, black ink.]
I require a status report.
The peace here is too well maintained to be self-enforced; I suspect the work of a tyrant is involved. I am asking all with knowledge of the situation at hand to reply at once. I assure all involved that this information will remain confidential and that anypony who contacts me will remain anonymous. I will also accept anonymous information, though it will be scrutinized more closely than information coming from known sources. Information from those with connections to Canterlot would also be very much appreciated. I am wary of any intel coming directly from the Princess herself, though I am doubtful that any will be provided.

Uh. Hey. I don't wanna be stepping on any hooves but...
Are we at war or something, where you're from?
[It's ridiculous to even bother asking. Even if this pony's Equestria was at war, it wasn't Surprise's own. Surprise had never even seen war, the last one she knew of having been a thousand years earlier.
But still, that war had managed to have an effect that struck her own life so hard she couldn't deny some fear of even considering the concept of it. War.
She really hated that word.]

[Slipstream sighs, though the sound is a mix of annoyed and resigned.]
Obviously I can't see to my duties from here, but I have faith in my fellow officers.
