Okay so far, Hardy has broken the first 3 of the actions regarding Magical Contamination. I guess stopping to read the diary makes up a little bit for part three, he has an *idea* of it Bake and Boil dont want the papers that stop the school from attacking them. LOL
Okay... I was looking up for what the hall pass could be and came across that last one... I can totally imagine it being broken down into 7 images and and those being the hall pass with the words Hall pass written at the top of each one. I'm being a bit lazy here... maybe I'll break it down myself and add it to the school's who' s who page at a later date.
Opps... Looks like they forgot to give the birdy a hall pass.
As their conversation was unfolding, an inkling of an idea was beginning to form; an idea that made use of the the bastard child of a vindictive vice principal, sitting alone in his basement home, weeping over lost love, and cursing the ankle-biting beasts he’d spent every day trying to save.
Oh, oh no.
Send the twins charging recklessly down the halls crashing into everything with the crazy bird in a bag between them. the other four follow behind pulling passes down and opening lockers and classrooms ... Nothing could possibly go wrong with this plan.
“Well, that was easier than I... tho...”
Hardy, no, don't break rule number 4!
Okay, Hardy is brilliant at coming up with ideas on the fly. Really he just seems to need a gun pointed at his head or something.
In that second, I’d have laid her against any champion shot-putter in the Equestrian Games for that particular launch. I had plenty of time to ask myself: Why did that super-natural spatial awareness, that let her navigate our rabbit's-warren of a city and make tosses like that beauty, not translate into being able to fire her gun straight? Only the Princesses may know.
Telling the bad guy to reload... Very brilliant Chessie
I love how some how, of camera, the tides turn. ... Wait, what was Edina doing at the end?
Oh hey look, the chapter ended. Lets have a peek at the comments, 31
accidentally contaminated by an overzealous baker attempting to go all-out for a royal event.
I swear 50% of the horror stories I hear about in this story are Pinkie’s fault somehow.
nopony seemed to be coming to investigate
If this isn’t intentional in some way I’m going to be disappointed.
announcing Edina had regained consciousness.
All hell is going to break loose.
If it worked, we might save everypony, and even manage to avoid terminal bloodshed. If it failed, we’d probably all be dumped in the canal along with a half dozen innocents before the night was over.
So, Tuesday.
Today on “breaking bad” we learn why making drug labs in haunted schools is a bad idea. Sure, nobody ever looks there, but do you really want to take your chances with the side effects?
Well, this was just an extended (albeit interesting) action sequence, wasn’t it?
-GM, master of snip bits.
Once, I got a full confession just by having all the interrogating officers blow bubbles with a piece of gum whenever they were in the perp’s presence.
Someone once went to one of the "Rarity SCHOOL classes". The one in aggressively passive interrogations.
i know this is far too late a thing to complain about, but one little problem i have with the story is the lack of Hardy's prowess in nearly anything.
he isn't a idiot, unlikable, or a poorly written character, but too much of what he does do right and what he does get done feels like hes borrowing off the efforts of his allies. He doesn't really have his own set of specialized skills that make him exceed in anything related to the case. He's smart, but no investigative or tactical genius, isn't a crack shot like his partner, isn't a good fighter like Taxi or any other of the stilettos, The best skill hes shown is having the balls to stare down tough situations, which it still feels like he mostly lucks out in at the end.
I get that the main character doesn't have to be a paragon of bad assery, and if he was, it would be boring. But it just feels like every other character is better trained and suited for his job than he is. Its hard to root for a character who is suppose to be a hero cop, but isn't doing anything to put him above the other characters around him in one aspect or another.
A great and amazingly crafted story otherwise, one i shall continue to read feverishly. But I hope that in future chapter Hardy shows some more aptitude.
Chapter 20: "Rolling in the Aisles" - well its a saying referring to something along the lines of laughing so hard you fall in to the aisles of a theater or something of the like.
Still waiting to know who the father of the egg is.
4) Magical contamination seems curiously drawn to dramatic irony. Under no circumstances should you utter any phrase along the lines of “How bad can it be?” or “What’s the worst that could happen?” whilst inside a zone of magical contamination, as this can result in you being immediately rendered into glue.
4b) Using newly assigned rookies to ground a contamination zone is EXPRESSLY FORBIDDEN. Violators will have their pay docked to recoup hospital costs and be assigned to clerical duty until such a time as their supervisor deems them fit to return to active service.
Addendum to Appendix H of Detrot Police Department Manual § B.44(4)
It fits with High Spirits’ twisted logic; if they’ve got a hall pass, they’ve got permission to be where they are.
This lends itself to an interesting way of attacking the beam brewers and the video decryptors; simply report all the other hall passes as stolen and watch the chaos begin! Granted, safety scissors and glitter will not be very effective, but if they gather up a cart or two stuffed with softballs, 10kg medicine balls, and free weights from the school gym... 
I’m pretty sure nopony wants to volunteer to find out what else he decided to ‘improve.'
Just wait until you see the lavatories! If the snarling, snapping, ambush toilets do not loosen your bowels, the hyper-dimensional, screaming, wailing, wells of souls in the bowls will certainly scare the horse-apples out of you (both figuratively and literally)!
<assault on the auditorium>
Heh.
Smart thinking with the hall passes there. Nothing like a trolley full of enchanted school supplies to ruin both your situational awareness and your day...
I certainly hope none of the lab ponies perform a heel face turn and decide to attack Hardy et al in an unguarded moment. (It seems unlikely; Snicket does not strike me as someone who engenders Stockholm Syndrome.
Sorry i haven't read this chapter sooner, i've been preoccupied with other things.
It's pretty damn intense and the action is all here hand in hand with that lovely commentary going through Hardys mind. Swift just became my favourite character. I know the reference was to calamity Jane with that awesome shot but I just got flashbacks to Calamity from FoE. :-D
Considering they're both pegasi this just gets even better.
I am still a bit curious about how pegasi function in Detrot.
Of course the little foreshadowing from the start was played out nicely with Hardy saying "well that was easier than i...tho".
Inevitable but still funny.
Oh and the hall passes trick for getting by the murderous stationary? Genius. Everything about this chapter is just perfect, all the characters play off each other nicely. Even the ladybug playing a role in screwing things up for hardy.
Loved this one guys.
Oh lordy I LIKE the way our main-cast girls fight! Swift's ancestral gun of perfect marksmanship, combined with taxi's party Cannon... And the drum-magazine grenade? It's a beautiful thing to picture.
And I every time Zeta has a line, I hear stereotypical flute/rattle/drum jungle-y music. She gives off that ninja sage vibe so wonderfully.

And lastly I really like the way you described high spirits fall to insanity. At first, he described how happy he was to be there and it would be great even though he was sleeping (living?) in the boiler room. Then as his life falls apart between losing his lover, misbehaving foals and a principal that's a total b*tch. The way you described the writing of the diary as he fell to madness is awesome as well. (How is horn writing just turned to scrawling) (just going to point out, in my mind I believe it was from over-exertion of his magic)
Ok, back to Detrot now...
Detrot claims another ponys' sanity. Is it just me or is Detrot sounding more and more like a place that needs to be nuked with a megaspell? After you get Swift our of there of course. 
H.B. & Lovecraft situation.
