Chapter 4: The First Contact Scenario

Author's Note:

And there goes the next chapter! Alright, I should probably offer a quick explanation for this timeline. In my headcannon, the Royal Sisters have been ruling for 2000 years, with Celestia ruling by herself for 1000 of those years. The nation of Equestria itself has lasted for 3000 years

Article 2244, First Contact Scenario

By order of Her Majesties, the rightful rulers of the Diarchy of Equestria , this plan seeks to create a viable and practical plan for first contact with non-Equestrian species. This specifically refers to beings we may encounter that are not of the planet of Equus. If such an event is to occur, the beings must be placed within a secure holding room or cell, guarded by either the Royal Guard or by Her Majesties' Armed Forces. They are to remain in said location until Her Majesties arrive to conduct an investigation into the intentions and origins of said beings. If any threat to the security of the planet is reasonably concluded, the beings are to be eliminated and all evidence destroyed so as to avoid any suspicion from the general public. If their intentions do not endanger the lives of Equestrian and global citizens, normal diplomatic relations are to be pursued. Drafted by General Stormhoof, of Her Majesties' Royal Air Force, October 20th, 2000 of the Celestial Calendar.


Ponyville, Equestria


Princess Twilight Sparkle was just enjoying a quiet evening of light study, (which is what most ponies would call really hitting the books), when Spike rushed to her study, holding a folded scroll in his clawed hand.

"Twilight, we just got a message." he said, causing Twilight to turn around, slightly startled.

"Spike, you scared me. I was so enthralled in this book I didn't hear you come in. You said we just got a message?" she asked.

Spike nodded and replied, "huh-uh."

Twilight used her telepathic spell to bring the scroll closer to her and unfolded it.

"Let's see here. Dear Twilight, I have urgent news for you..." that was the last she said aloud as she quickly muttered the rest of the letter to herself.

As she read, her eyes grew wide and her expression became one of excitement.

"Spike, grab your things. It looks like we have a First Contact Scenario on our hooves. Oh, I'm so excited!" she excitedly told him.

Spike looked up at her, raising an eyebrow in confusion.

"First Contact Scenario? What is that, some cheap Star Trot reference?" he asked.

"No, Spike. The First Contact Act was a real act passed by Princess Celestia back in the year 2000 and was made to give the government a set of instructions for if and when we encounter beings not from Equus."

"So.. like aliens?" Spike asked, grinning.

"In a sense, I suppose so. Though it also covers beings from another dimension." she explained.

......


Soon, Twilight and Spike were being escorted by a Royal Guard and a Her Majesties' Air Force unit to the Crystal Empire. Twilight spent most of the journey freaking out over possibly contacting beings from another world or another dimension. When Spike mentioned that it was possible that the beings were simply from this planet and simply haven't been discovered yet, Twilight said, "Either way, Spike, this could be one of the greatest discoveries in the history of Equestria."

About 4 hours later, the royal escort landed near the entrance of the Crystal castle, and standing to greet Twilight and Spike was Twilight's sister-in-law, Princess Cadence.

"Twilight!"

"Cadence!"

The two princesses hugged each other tightly before sitting and doing a cute nursery rhyme they've rehearsed: Sunshine, sunshine! Ladybugs awake! Clap your hooves and do a little shake! That last bit was accompanied by the two mares shaking their flanks.

"Oh, it's good to see you, Twilight." Cadence said, smiling.

"Indeed. I just wish they were under better circumstances." Twilight replied, sighing.

"Princess Twilight, Princess Cadence, good to see you two again." a familiar soothing voice said.

The two turned to see Princess Celestia and Princess Luna approach them. By this time, Spike had caught up and at the sight of the rulers, he bowed respectively.

Celestia smiled and motioned for the young dragon to rise. Luna then spoke for the first time: "From what We understand, We will not be conducting our investigations till the morning, is that correct?"

"Yes, that is correct. The strangers are in our guest chambers, protected by our best Royal Guards." Cadence replied.

"Good, for tomorrow will be rather busy for them as well as us. Tell me, Cadence, have these beings shown any signs of difficulties when they arrived?" Celestia asked.

"No, not at all. They speak our language perfectly and are completely willing to cooperate. I suspect they will ask about our culture as we ask about theirs as well." Cadence replied.

"Then, this investigation shouldn't take too long." Celestia replied.

"I concur, Sister." Luna stated, nodding.
