Blossom: Please wait here. I'll be with you again shortly.

(Mayor Blossom closes the doors behind her, leaving Orbit and Glaive outside the council hall.)

Orbit: ...What do you think of all this, Glaive?

(Cobbletrot lowers his umbrella and raises an eyebrow.)

Cobbletrot: Intriguing... It would seem an assault of automatons isn't the only thing to have befallen this city during my time underground. Is there truth to this?

Henchpony #1: Apparently, Mr. Cobbletrot. The police department was definitely attacked earlier.

Cobbletrot: *smirk* Very intriguing... Gas up the car. We're making a little trip.

Henchpony #2: Wait, Penguin, sir. You're not thinkin' of going there, are you? It's gotta be a trick. 35 million ain't chump change, y'know? Besides, if what this Death-Stalker guy says is true -- if he has all the MCPD's weapons -- then they're sitting ducks. We could take all of Maretropolis right now if we wanted.

Cobbletrot: Look at you, pretending to have a functioning synapse. Indeed, we could take control of this whole city if we wished. But let us not forget our "saviors" from up on high...

Henchpony #2: ...The Power Ponies.

Cobbletrot: Very good. Were it just those neanderthals at the police department, we'd be unstoppable. But as long as the Power Ponies remain a presence, we're still underequipped. Think of what we could accomplish with the police's own array of weapons.

Henchpony #2: I do like the sound of that...

Henchpony #1: What about Mareoni? He did say to watch out for "jealous upstarts".

(Cobbletrot grins a sinister grin.)

Cobbletrot: By this time tomorrow... I will have Mareoni on his knees pleading for my mercy.
