Day 41

Alright. So, even a full day after the sweep happened, there seems to still be a general uneasiness among the population. I suspect that even though the fort and its internal city are founded and run by former Canterlot nobles, the vast majority of the ponies living here are commoners that fled Canterlot themselves. Those ponies could be a good source of potential supporters to our cause... though, their existing feat of being purged in a sweep likely would hold them back.

Regarding further surveillance, I've since returned to my disguise as an orphan foal. Earlier in the day, however, I once again donned my uniform to carry out "inspections" on some of the structures. Surprisingly enough, the nobles in charge of authorization actually believed me!

Anyway, I'm not sure if I mentioned this or not, but it looks like the fort's aiming to be as self-sufficient as possible. There are some towers that are currently under construction, which, according to those who I asked, are set to be used for vertical farming. I don't exactly know what that is, but I'm guessing it's a way to stack farms or something so that not as much land has to be used to grow stuff. Not really sure how they're gonna manage to get between the layers and do all the farmwork, though. They'll probably use the non-noble populace for labor if you ask me. I wasn't able to stick around for too long, however, as I'd otherwise begin to look suspicious if I were to stay and stare at the incomplete towers.
