"Sir, the strike team has returned, Sir!" Major Gruff said loudly to his commanding officer General Swift.

"Report" The General ordered.

" The strike Team has reported destroying the lab and killing as many of the workers as possible, they report no sign of the new weapon, Sir" the major responded

" Casualties?" the General asked

" we've lost two griffin soldiers, 1 changeling drone, and the infiltrator drone was killed after we left.

"Note the losses and prepare a squadron of changeling spies to find it, the government will keep the talks going to keep us off of the radar for now." the General spoke with authority. The Major left the room and headed deeper into the base to relay the information to Queen Chrysalis.

The catacombs were dark, wet, and cool, for griffins this was uncomfortable, for a changeling it was perfect.

"Queen Chrisalis, I relay a request from the general, he wishes for a small team of spies to be sent to canterlot to find the weapon or information about it" the major said as politely as he could manage to the large and imposing Changeling standing before him.

"Oh, does he, might I ask that you remind him that my changelings are already dwindling in numbers as it is, and I haven't had enough time to increase the size of my brood, I shall give him 3 spies and no more until I've increased my numbers, got it?"

"Yes ma'am" the major said, his voice wavering.

"Now Scram! Before I decide to kill and eat you." the Queen then turned and left to attend to her growing eggs.

The Major, deciding not to stick around, hastily left the catacombs to ensure his life would not be ended.

"Sir, Queen Chrysalis has complied with the request, and she wishes time to increase her numbers" the major stated.

"Good, I shall grant her request, as much as I hate her attitude we need her too much to have her leave, destroying the weapon is too important, and her stealth skills are unrivalled, I know she's a bitch, but we have to tolerate it" the general said lighting his pipe. "Prepare the spies for deployment once they are sent up"

"Yes sir" the major replied and, left the general's office.
