A few days have passed and you all got to see Ponyville in all its small glory. The small town fell, the pleasant aromas from the surrounding farms and gardens and flower shops. The delicious smells and flavors of the Surgarcube Corner and other dining areas. Today in Princess Twilight’s Castle, you all will be meeting Princess Celestia https://mlp.fandom.com/wiki/Princess_Celestia#:~:text=Princess%20Celestia%2C%20called%20Queen%20Celestia,adoptive%20aunt%20of%20Princess%20Cadance. and Princess Luna https://mlp.fandom.com/wiki/Princess_Luna.

A banquet has been made and although clothes are not really a thing in this world, Rarity comes in wearing a red and purple evening dress and a hat to match. The other ponies that you’ve all came to know, walk in looking like they always do, but Apple Jack’s mane and tail are brushed. Pinkie Pie places the last dish for the banquet on the table when Princess Twilight clears her throat. “Ahem. That’s better. Gentlecolts and Mares and esteemed guests! May I please introduce you all to Princess Celestia and Princess Luna!” She steps aside and in walks two very tall ponies, about the same size as the horses on Earth. One is all white with a Sun on her flanks with literal flowing pink, blue, green and purple mane and tail. Seriously, there is no wind or drafts, they just flow and shimmer. The other tall point with a serious look on her face, Princess Luna and she is all dark purple with a bluish, purple flowing Main and tail like her sisters but resembles the night sky. You can clearly see the “stars” twinkle in her mane. She has a black mark on each of her flanks with a white Moon in each of them. Everyone bows when they enter.

In a very soft but firm regal voice Princess Celestia speaks. “Thank you Everypony for coming today and a big welcome from my sister Luna and I from Equstria. Welcome. Please be seated and enjoy the food and drinks while we talk. I would like to answer and all of your questions before we begin. What would you like to know?”

Kastarak was bewildered by this entire occasion. Everything was surreal and illogical. After this ordeal, he would need some serious meditation. Despite all of that, he was loyal to his crew and performed his duties to the letter. As such, he participated in the banquet, while looking at this strange equine sentient beings doing their best to entertain and be hospitable to their guests.

He decided to simply discard the “equinity” and Earthen DNA of his hosts and, instead, see them as species with which the Federation was making first contact. But then… did they have warp capabilities? Would not the Prime Directive then not apply?

But he had orders to participate – so he had to assume all was in order. Trust the legality of his orders, question them only when in clear violation of the law.

Umbri, on the other hand, bowed politely when Princess Celestia and Princess Luna came into the room. They didn’t want to speak out of fear of saying something they weren’t supposed to.

Over the past several days, the people - ponies - of Equestria had been most hospitable and had completely won over Q. As far as he had seen, they were a very cordial and intelligent people, and so Dawson quickly had begun to treat the mission as First Contact. He thought he had fitted well within his part of makeshift diplomats. But there were still questions that needed answering that Princess Twilight had put off until the other princesses could join them. Now that they were here, Dawson wanted to know how it was they knew who they were, knew of the federation, and what that cubed vessel had been that the earth satellite had picked up when exploring here. Much had been left answered during their stay, but hopefully now, things will clear up.

OOC: Hey, guys! Sorry for the absence. Was finishing up the latest script of my comic coming out next year and needed to step away to focus on that. But should be back now!

OOC: That’s great! I have a great friend that published some comics of his own. Can’t wait to get a signed copy from you!

William looked across the unusually quiet crew, he saw the hesitation in Hawkins and excitement in Dawson’s expressions. He gave both officers a slow nod, so they could feel free to ask any questions they wished “Thank you for your most gracious of welcomes Your Majesty” he spoke up, maintaining what he was hoping came across as polite diplomatic speech, especially after the utter disaster that had been the other night “I believe that most of our curiosity will stem from a scientific and historical nature. Though of course I would not delay the feast by too much so I’ll ask some of my crewmates to field questions to start with.”

Pawl kept quiet at this meeting unless he was needed he kept out of the way but tried to be attentive to anyone he passed by giving them a nice greeting as the others passed by him. trying not to be standoffish. As he tried to take in all who was there. As he grabbed a tall glass of water to drink as he casually walked around the big reception area. “greeting. ” Pawl said to the passing visiting delegates.

Dawson took in the Lt. Commander’s nod and nodded back, waiting for him to finish before speaking. “Well said, sir,” Dawson began before turning to the princesses, “We do have a few questions that, since all three of you are now here, I’d like to broach. I believe it would be prudent to begin with how you all were made aware of the Federation’s existence and indeed our coming, when we ourselves had no clue of you or that we would be coming here. This has certainly puzzled me over the few days you have gifted us with your hospitality.” Dawson took a sip of his drink as he ended his remarks, giving a light grin as he did so.

Princess Celestia nodded. “A wise question indeed Lieutenant Dawson, is it? We were visited before by a young human girl named Megan. I don’t know how or why it happened at the time but her she was and she helped defeat a great evil in our world with the help of Apple Jack. Not the Apple Jack that sits before you now but by one of her ancestors. I was young at that time, around 300 years old. After we all defeated the evil, I found an ancient artifact, a mirror, that enables us to travel to other dimensions and time. That is how we sent her back home. Since then, it’s been kicked away in my castle. I use occasionally to look around for dangers to be wary against and to formulate a plan of action for.”

She used her magic to pick up a glass of water and drank from it before continuing. “One day I was there looking into the mirror and heat a young girl mention something about our land that was not on your planet of Earth. That young woman is here today. A Umbri I guess you call her. (I know to use the pronouns they/ them, but Celestia would not. Sorry if this causes you problems.) I noticed that your ship was real close to us and I had my sister, Princess Luna, go out and check and sure enough, there you were. So I asked Pinkie Pie here to plan a party for you. Does that help Lieutenant Dawson?”

OOC: Doesn’t cause problems at all. I’ll just have Umbri politely correct Celestia IC.

IC:

Umbri was absolutely floored. Princess Celestia was spying on them? Why? They took a deep breath and stepped forward. “Yeah, I’m Umbri. I was born female, but I go by they/them pronouns,” they paused for a moment, taking another deep breath and trying to remain as calm as possible. “I just have one question: How long have you been observing me?” they asked.

Umbri then looked at their fellow crew in shock. “I swear, I had no idea this was happening. You have to believe me,” they said.
