With her organizational skills and keen understanding of scientific principles, she leads diplomats and scientists in a well-planned expedition to a historic first contact.

The first exchange doesn't quite go without a hitch, however, as the portal opens near a pony ranch at Texas, Earth.

Foals and adults running in the street and enjoying a night of good-natured fun. What could possibly be better? Surely, nothing could ever ruin such a night.

Unless, of course, an otherworldly unbidden guest made itself rudely present.
