//------------------------------// // Chapter 5: Their Purpose // Story: Close Encounters // by HolidayTheWriter //------------------------------// The Kerbals Looked around in their Spacecraft and found a universal translater to translate what the ponies were saying and translate what they were saying into their language. “Hello, My name is Jebediah and I come in peace” Said Jebediah. The Ponies Immediately knew what he said and found out that these two legged green men were actually doing. “We came to your planet using this spacecraft from our planet, Kerbin. We are in search of a new planet to ally with and/or live on.” The crowd muttered and Twilight Stood up and asked a question “How in Equestria does this device work?” Jebediah shrugged and gave the translator to Bill (The scientist of the crew) “Well Uh, It burns liquid hydrogen and air which blasts out the back producing Uhmm movement. And it gets into space by using Liquid Hydrogen in the atomic motors by passing it through a Nuclear Reactor” Said Bill. Everypony was confused and even Twilight had no idea what he meant. So Twilight Had a look at all the pieces inside. “No Magic?” Said Twilight with Confusion, “Magic?” Said Bill, “Magic doesn’t uh… Exist.” He said. Twilight had figured out that these beings advanced without the aid of magic, which shocked her a lot! Twilight also realised that these aliens got through a black hole very close to the planet, which happened today. The Kerbals brought lots of equipment inside the spacecraft and drove them out of the ship carefully. Bill explained that they were using these machines to build and set up houses by cutting trees down and building them with giant arms. There was another machine which looked a bit like a Chariot, but Bill explained it was a mode of transport used to scan areas for Precious minerals and simply move around, he also explained that they cancelled those missions because sentient beings (The Ponies) would probably fight back and cause war against them.
