“All questions are welcomed and it does not matter how many Commander Grey. Fire away as you all say sometimes. As for questions about humanity, we know plenty because of the mirror. I mainly know plenty as well as the other Princesess. The regular ponies in Equestria do not know much about humans. I have placed tomes and manuals about humans and their past, present and possible future. Everything you can find in your libraries, we have here as well as on every other alien being that we have encountered. I do want to know about Starfleet Commander Grey. Because if it is what we think it is, then we would like to form an alliance or join…after the other princesses and I discuss it first that is. But please do tell us about your Starfleet.”

Dawson smiled before saying to the princess, “I’m sure the Federation would look forward to your inclusion, just as I’m sure our recommendations will be in your favor in that regard as well. But we were not sent on a first contact mission, though that is certainly what this has become. What will likely need to occur is that we will report back to the Federation, and they in turn will send a ship, possibly us again, for a second contact follow up and they will have further authority to process your application for membership in the Federation.” Having been raised by such a successful diplomat as his father, Dawson knew well the bureaucracy that mired all forms of government, including the Federation.

Kastarak made a mental note to vehemently disagree with Dawson’s assessment, though outwardly, no one would have seen the slightest indication of it.

William raised an eyebrow at Dawson’s reply, mentally he pulled up his personnel file and got the answer to his unspoken question “Starfleet is the naval branch of the United Federation of Planets, we mostly serve as an exploratory and scientific service. We also handle all defensive matters for our Federation. The Federation itself is a collection of a multitude of Alien beings that form a government spanning multiple systems across our quadrant of the Galaxy. Although the Chernov, our ship, is a military vessel we are not a common sight within Starfleet.”

“We look forward to that Mr. Dawson. We are a friendly lot and although we are perfectly able to defend ourselves, we always welcome new friends.” Celestia said.

“That’s right! As the Princess of Friendship, I would most certainly be our Ambassador to you all. Just like now. ” Princess Twilight spoke out and Celestia nodded in agreement.

Celestia drank some water before she continued. “Now you all have the information you need to get started. Princess Twilight will give you all the rest you need to report back to your Starfleet with. We will leave you now. Good day.” With that Celestias horn had a faint yellow ring to it and Princesses Celestia, Luna and Cadence vanished.

Twilight looked over at the crew. “Don’t worry. She just teleported them all back to Canterlot Castle. It is about 50 miles away. So. Let me get that information for you all.” She left them all but Rarity, Apple Jack, Pinkie Pie, Fluttershy, Rainbow Dash and Spike were left in the room looking at you all.

“They appear to have transporter technology,” Kastarak whispered to Dawson. He wasn’t quite sure why he had the urge to say the blatantly obvious, but this whole situation had been so bizarre and dissociating, he needed any kind of confirmation that his senses gathered whatever others had.

“Seems like it, yes,” Dawson said, “But it was definitely unlike any transport I’ve seen.” He turned to look at Kastarak and gave a wry smile, “I don’t know about you, but I’m definitely looking forward to getting back to the Chernov. This mission has gotten far to political for my liking. Give me something to hit or shoot any day.”

OOC: pasting in Pawls reply.

Pawl calmly moved closer to the group. “Please excuse me your graces. I would like to speak and be heard?” as Pawl bowed to all of them. “I am Lt Jg Pawl Batario - Chief Engineer on the Uss Chernov. I am not sure if this will help with understanding and cooperation in the new federation consideration. But my homeworld is now under consideration on joining the mighty Federation family as well. I am also a foreign exchange officer from my homeworld of Betazed. Also part of the interspecies program which here as one officer from the federation takes some time to visit and learn our ways of things as in return I am learning things here in the federation and on the Uss Chernov.” Pawl said calmly to the princesses. The Chernov might be a warship or military in nature but the federation is known for the compassion and trust along with the first thing they value is peace and universal understanding above all.” Pawl said with a polite smile. Pawl looked to the captain a moment feeling like he overstepped his bounds in the matter. “I am sorry for overstepping my role here as he calmly backed away from the others now. with a bow again. “Thank you for your precious time Your Majesties. ” As he fell quiet.

Lt Jg Pawl Batario - Chief Engineer

As all the other Princesess have left, Twilight Sparkle spoke up to Pawls question when she returned retrieving the information that she got them and hooved (handed) it to Commander Grey.

“Will… that sounds fantastic! Maybe we can have one of our own go with you like how you are with them now Lieutenant Pawl.” She got all excited! “Just imagine it! Seeing new places! Seeing new aliens!” She pranced up and down then stopped looking confused. Putting a hoof to her muzzle. “But whom? Whom is worthy and smart enough and brave enough to do something like that? I’ll get back to you all. Please come back in two days for another meeting. You’re more than welcome to stay in my castle or on your ship. I’ll go tell Princess Celestia right away. Thanks Lieutenant Pawl! That’s a great idea!” With that, her horn glowed a purple color and she vanished as well.
