It wasn't long before the rebel crew consisting of Rosie, two other mechanics and a guard team felt the sudden drop in temperature, snow tainted trees and rocks surrounded them and frost had formed on everything around them. The layer of snow ahead revealed a multitude of hoof prints, seemingly a line up of ponies. "Shall we investigate?" one of the guards asked, "There's no nearby settlement of ours, nor any groups patrolling this area... We better check it out." Rosie answered and started fallowing the trail. The once thin layer of snow soon became like a breached barricade, the thick snow had already been passed through opening a path for them to simply fallow.
The harsh weather gave second thoughts but their minds were set, and rewarding it was. A large cobblestone structure made it's appearance, "A wall... Out here?". The gates were slightly opened and Rosie glimpsed into the fortified area, not only could she hear them but she saw figures moving, "Definitely not rebels....".
"I'm going in to investigate." One of the guards urgently approached her "I'll come with." Rosie nodded in response and the two quietly sneaked through the gate. Their clothing wasn't the optimal for sneaking but it'd have to do, they tried their best to stay behind the building and in the shadows. The fact that the watchdogs always were so obsessed with their scavenging made the whole thing a lot easier as most of them were busy. Whilst passing one of the seemingly old building something caught Rosie's ear.
She tilted her head slightly and made hoof gesture to signal the guard called Wolf to stop and enter the building. Cautiously they sneaked to the entrance of the building taking every step with upmost seriousness. Upon entering the building there were more options, but they simply fallowed the voices. At this point she felt like it was necessary to bring out her rifle. After walking up the staircase slowly and gently she could peek into the room only to have her suspicions confirmed, watchdogs, some pony the watchdog in front of her seemingly was very angry with and... "Some sort of assassin?". "Wolf, Report back to the others, I'll be with you as soon as possible. Just stay out of sight..." Rosie whispered and Wolf, of course, obliged and returned down the stairs.
