//------------------------------// // Chapter 5: New Years // Story: Breach // by Milk Mind //------------------------------// CLASSIFICATION  LEVEL: OMICRON Report on aliens #1 and #2 of Area 69 by Dr. Steven Gottschalk Name: Twilight Sparkle Height: 4’ 11” Gender: F Species: Unicorn Planet of Origin: Equestria Galaxy of Origin: Unknown Name: Neon Lights Height: 5’ 1’’ Gender: M Species: Unicorn Planet of Origin: Equestria Galaxy of Origin: Unknown January 1st, 1999 Current subject physical well-being: Healthy Current subject emotional state: Happy Twilight, along with Barth, Neon, myself, and the Marines all watched the new years celebration on TV. Twilight was a bit confused at how the broadcast was live, and happening right that moment, but I think she let it go, at least for now. She is very curious, easy to see how she could become the personal student of her ruler. A curious mind makes for a good student. Barth seems to shut himself in his room most of the time, strange that he wouldn't want to study the ponies directly. I suppose each scientist has his methods. February 14th, 1999 Current subject physical well-being: Healthy Current subject emotional state: Happy Neon Lights was able to DJ a party for the Marines. Barth, as per usual, wanted it stopped. I told him to let them have their fun, they are locked in an underground vault after all, what harm could come of it? I gave Twilight a Valentines day card, just a nice gesture. I was also able to learn that they have a similar holliday on Equestria, Hearts and Hooves day. Barth was very interested in that. He seems to have some theory that all sentient life in the universe have days they deem special, or days on which they celebrate special events. Seems logical enough. March 2nd, 1999 Twilight has become strangely interested in science, astronomy to be specific. I knew she was intelligent, but she’s gone through two books on advanced astronomical theories in a little under a month. She’s not just smart, she’s a damn genius! March 7th, 1999 Neon Lights asked for more recording equipment. I am in the company of a genius and a Techno-DJ. I suppose they can’t all be Einsteins and Teslas. March 20th, 1999 At first, I assumed that Twilight was simply interested in astronomy for the sake of it. She’s requested I find her a map of the Milky-Way’s planets. Obviously, and understandably, she want’s to go home. Unfortunately, I was forced to disappoint her. We’ve still more research to do before we can begin to try and figure out how to send them back. It wasn't but 30 years ago we finally landed on the moon, it’s going to take a hell of a lot more to get her to another planet.
