Gina took a sip of her greenflower tea and took a deep breath, before her was a pony with both horn and wings that they called "Princess Celestia", the white coloured pony was taller than the others, and a bit more slender as well. A moment passed before the Princess spoke, "So you are a... human right? What planet are you from and what technology exists there?" Gina paused a moment, the first time she was able to in the hour from bieng shuttled from Twilight's treehouse to a huge beautiful castle. She replied, "I come from the planet Earth and our technology has a huge list, let me tell a few... Living in space, Planet Cracking, a bunch of tools that involve lasers, artificial gravity, and holograms... oh and also RIGs." Princess Celestia had her eyes widen at the complexity of the being's list of technology, but 2 questions sprung from her mind. "2 questions if I may ask, what's "Planet Cracking" and what's a RIG?" Gina took another sip of tea, and replied, "Well to start off with Planet Cracking, you see this bun?" Gina held up the hemi-spherical loaf of bread she was givin, "Now imagine this is a planet," Gina made a small pocket on the top with her fingers and tore the bread in two. The Princess did a small gasp at the translation of the demonstration. "Y...you mean... they crack open entire planets?!" The Princess worridly replied, Gina nodded, "Crazy s*** right?" Gina replied with a sly grin. "But why?" The Princess frantically asked, "Because so we can get its resources," Gina said, "You see... Earth is currently a dead husk living inside itself..." Gina said, clearly annoyed, "And to answer your 2nd question, a RIG is this..." Gina said before removing the leather jacket she got custom made from Rarity, the Princess was obviously amazed at what she saw, 2 white bracket holders were planted onto Gina's lower back and neck, with a clear tube running in between, a cyan line ran down the tube, cut up into diagonal trapezoids. "Oh my... doesn't that hurt?" The Princess asked, "Only when they insert the probes into your spine, but they can be removed, but its way more painful." Gina said informatively. Suddenly a mantis-like thing burst itself into the room, panting, it looked like a king, with purple sapphires decorating its silk coat, polished in gold leaf. "King Partitiore? What are you doing here?" The Princess asked, King Partitiore replied in a deep voice, "First things first, one of our fortresses have been invaded by some...thing! Second, who's this creature?" Partitiore asked as he peered at the puzzling creature before him. "That's Gina, she's a human." The Princess said, "Gina, this is King Partitiore, a Irellusite king, the Irellusites are a usually peaceful race but sometimes they are violent ones." The king nodded, "Round up your best ponies and come meet me at Fortress RE-23, and bring Gina too!" he said before scrabbling off, The Princess nodded, "Wait a minute, Fortress RE-23, no pony or thing ever survived an encounter there!" The Princess gasped, "And your point is?" Gina asked, "How could one creature come in and kill everything in there and still survive?" The Princess asked, Gina shook her head.
