The train that Hawkeye was on stopped at Cheyenne's train station.

Hawkeye: *Walks off the train, and sees it leaving the station*
Pete: *In his office with Stylo, and Gordon* Stylo, I need toi to get a freight train into Denver. Every person needs oil to keep the electricity in their homes going, but so far, they're nearly out.
Stylo: I'm on it.
Pete: Gordon, remember that hospital par the station toi drove your passenger train to in Omaha yesterday?
Gordon: I, think so.
Pete: Well they're running out of penicillin, and they need us to get it to them. Your train is going to stop at the station to refuel. As it does that, toi will get on board, and take over from there.
Gordon: Got it.
Pete: Okay toi two, you're dismissed.

As Hawkeye got towards Pete's office, Stylo, and Gordon walked by.

Stylo: Excuse me. *Walks past Hawkeye*
Gordon: *Pushes Hawkeye out of the way* déplacer it poopyhead.
Hawkeye: Poopyhead? *To the reader* And this is supposed to be rated at least PG-13. Even thought no one a dit any swear words yet.
Pete: *Walks out of his office* Who the fuck are toi talking to?
Hawkeye: Never mind.
Pete: What are toi talking about?
Hawkeye: Somepony pushed me out of his way, and called me a poopyhead.
Pete: Don't say that. We are in a fanfic that is being created for adults.
Hawkeye: Forgive me. I just wanted to apply for a job here.
Pete: Okay. I'm sure I can get toi a job.

Meanwhile in the poney world, San Franciscolt.

Metal Gloss: *At a hotel on the telephone*
Pete: *In his office at Cheyene's train station, and picks up the phone ringing in his office* Hello, Union Pacific's Cheyenne train station. Pete Reimer speaking.
Metal Gloss: Pete? Something terrible happened.
Pete: What?
Metal Gloss: Pierce is dead.
Pete: What?!
Metal Gloss: I a dit Pierce is-
Pete: I know what toi said, but it gave me the impulse to ask.
Metal Gloss: I'm really scared.
Pete: How did it happen?
Metal Gloss: We were on the Golden Neigh Bridge. He got shot, and fell off, but I think I saw him disappear when he landed in a barge.
Pete: A barge?
Metal Gloss: Yeah. It had this mirror, and it looked like Hawkeye disappeared just as soon as he was about to land on it.
Pete: I think I know what happened. Don't leave San Fran, I'm coming to help. I should be at the airport par seven hours. Meet me there.
Metal Gloss: I will. Bye.
Pete: Bye. *Hangs up, and sighs* Pierce, Pierce, Pierce. I can't believe this happened to you.

Back at the human world, Hawkeye was still in Pete's office discussing his job.

Pete: Okay, let me get this straight. toi used to work on the Delaware & Hudson, and signed some papers to quit that railway, to come work here. However, the papers got lost, and toi can't find them.
Hawkeye: 100% correct.
Pete: I don't know. toi seem really determined to do a good job, but I don't want to risk toi crashing any of my trains, and hurting anyone.
Hawkeye: I'll do the complete opposite of that.
Pete: I'm sure toi will. However, it's mandatory that toi spend two days of on the job training on becoming an engineer.
Hawkeye: Who do I work with?
Pete: Metal Gloss. She's a light grey girl with yellow eyes, and her hair is two tones of grey. I'll send a telegraph to the trainyard, informing Metal Gloss to meet toi par the yard tower.
Hawkeye: Okay. I'll head over there now. *Leaves office, and begins walking to the train yard* i wonder what my special somepony will look like as a human.
