65 scanned his functions, and the report was good; just some minor damages to his outer shell.
His eyes blinked, revealing a crater where his pod had landed. He looked around to get his bearing on his reading, which indicated he was in an orchard and that there were multiple Lifeforms around him. When the dust settled it revealed nine... ponies! 65 checked his eyes again, yet the report said 100% functional.
He unlocked his legs, standing up to his full height of two meters and towering over the equines. They quickly backed up, fear obvious in their faces. It was quite odd; they had such expressive faces for creatures like these. His view on the situation changed, however, when the purple one with a horn spoke! "He-hello?"

As he watched the screen, the Sith's eyes narrowed. Not only were the ponies sentient, but also they spoke galactic basic! 65's orders were to not talk to or engage with the locals, and he would follow orders. He sent the droid down because of his being able to adapt to situations better than even most Storm-troopers. But these new events changed his plan, even though it would be easier to wipe them out and take what they need. Perhaps obtaining allies would be a wiser choice.
"Captain!" he shouted out. “Prepare a landing craft!" Turning his attention back to the screen, he smiled. "Most interesting events."

65 waited; still no new orders, which meant that they wanted him to continue with the mission. This is so demeaning, 65 thought. Even though he was a droid, he still knew when a task was demeaning, and doing the job of a probe droid was one of them.
Once again, the purple pony stepped forward. "Umm, hello. M-my name is Twi-Twilight Sparkle."
65 turned his eyes back to the creature, causing her to back up. Satisfied with her reaction, 65 turned his attention to the surrounding area. His enhanced vision kicked in, allowing him to see much farther. He seemed to be in an orchard of sorts. The ponies had begun talking among themselves once their initial shock dispersed.

Saying Twilight was shocked was an understatement. She was almost shaking with both excitement and fear. Standing before her was a alien that stood over two meters tall!
"What is it, Twi?" Applejack asked quietly, keeping her eyes on the alien creature.
"O-oooh! Is it an alien?" Pinkie piratically shouted.
"Quiet, Pinkie Pie," Twilight whispered. “It could be dangerous!"
"Yeah, well, I would like to see it try to take me on!" Rainbow Dash said, swinging her hooves into the air.
They turned to the alien, who had stopped at one of the apple trees and was examining an apple. "Maybe it came to invade!" Spike, who up to this time, had remained quiet, shouted while staring in fear.
"Ugh. What is it wearing? It looks horrible!" Rarity remarked while Fluttershy, who was cowering in fear behind her, squeaked, "Maybe it's friendly?"
While they were arguing what to do, they didn't notice was that the Cutie Mark Crusaders had walked right up to the alien.
As the creature was examining one of the indigenous fruits, a combination of three knocks sounded through his receptors. Turning around, he looked down to see three small fillies looking up at him with saucer eyes, though they didn't seemed scared in the slightest; only curious.
"Hey, mister, are you an alien?"
The creature garbled something in imperial code, which is what he was restricted to use on this mission because they did not comprehend the code. The fillies turned their head curiously, unsure of what to make of it.
"Girls!" Twilight said, walking over slowly so as to not anger it. The rest of her friends soon joined her, watching their unusual visitor. All fear was gone or buried by curiosity, except for Fluttershy who was hiding behind her friends. The odd alien still was talking in the odd garble of words possibly of his home of wherever he came from. It seemed armored and had some long stick device hanging from a strap on its shoulder.
She had begun writing a letter to Princess Celestia about the creature/alien from the notebook she was going to take about the meteor shower. "Spike," she whispered, “can you please send this to the Princess?"
And one green flame later, it was on its way.
As morning finally became noon and they had been following the creature for around twenty minutes, a series of deafening howls brought them all out of their thoughts. They turned to find several Timber wolves running at them at full speed. "Ru-"
*BANG!* *BANG!* *BANG!*
Twilight hadn't even finished yelling when the several bangs sounded, followed by multiple flashes of red light, as the wolves dropped dead, sap like green blood forming thick pools by the bodies. The group turned to see the alien with its long black stick out, the end of it still smoking.

65 hadn't even been there thirty minutes when howls sounded about the area, and the ponies calmed expressions turned to ones of fear. Turning, he picked up multiple life forms coming at fast speeds. Slinging his sniper off his shoulder, his visor read, Threat confirmed. You are clear to engage.
