=///Communication room, Canterlot\\\=
It was 08:20 PM, in the communications room of Canterlot castle there was a purple Alicorn who had been spending the past 9 hours trying to translate a foreign language.
There were piles of books standing on the table, scrolls lying on the floor, she was really exausting herself today.
Twilight finally realized that apparently trying to translate a language was not an easy thing to do, because when she activates the communication transmitter that is usually used by the Equestrian government to keep communicating with other countries/kingdoms in Equus, she was bombarded with all kinds of gibberish-like words, it had so many dialects and tongues, after spending several hours listening to it she realized that this was not single language, but a collection of different languages.
"Le président français a déclaré que le contact entre les États-Unis et les extraterrestres s'était déroulé sans heurts et pacifiquement, La France enverra sa propre flotte et essaiera également de contacter les extraterrestres"
"日本政府は、平和に来ていることが証明されれば、外交使節を外国に派遣すると述べた. 内閣は、宇宙人がどのようにして空中に都市を建設できるかに非常に興味があると述べ、アニメの撮影に適した場所になるだろうと述べた"
Die deutsche Bundeskanzlerin erklärte, dass sie wirklich an der Möglichkeit eines Handelsabkommens mit Außerirdischen interessiert seien, sie sagten, dies würde die „deutsche industrielle Überlegenheit gegenüber den Außerirdischen“ zeigen.
"Pater meus abiit ut lac emeret in copia, sed tristis numquam rediit, Totum est quia frater meus refulsit et mater mea amplius cum eo concumbere recusat, quia senex est".
She had spent hours listening to this transmission, trying to take notes and make sense of it.
Some the language sound fancy and beautiful (French and Japanese), others sound strange (Chinese and Filipino), others sound scary and intimidating (Russian and German), but most of it sounds wierd and sometimes makes no sense (English and Spanish).
She tried to use the language spell she found in the book, but it didn't work well.
to translate this collection of languages she needed something better, she needed a combination of multiple spells to translate this language.
After several failures she managed to create a new spell, a combination of language spells and sound waves spells.
but unfortunately this new spell is not perfect, and this spell is really not very magic energy efficient.
She might need another 9 hours to perfecting and refine this spell, she planned to stay up all night and keep working until morning, until suddenly somepony came to her from behind, it turns out to be her friend Starlight, a former enemy who is now her best friend, she grabbed her nape and started massaging it, Twilight face is blushed over her friend actions, the two of them had been living together for a year now, initially this was because Trixe didn't seem like a very good friend, and also her cart apparently wasn't a very comfortable place to sleep.
So Twilight offered her to stay in her castle, she spent the first week exploring and memorizing all the rooms in the castle, Twilight told her that she could stay here as long as she wanted, and after several months living there, she said that it was likely she would settle there permanently, i mean who the hell would refuse to live in a castle that's Beautiful/comfortable and made of crystal.
The sequence from Starlight really relaxes her body, and after several minutes of being massaged by Starlight, Twilight snaps back to reality.
"Errhh.. Starlight, can you plea--"
"It's okay Twilight, you've been working all day, you need something to relax, and also it's time to have dinner with the princesses."
"b-but I have to finish this first, because if not, I--"
"Pssstt...no buts, You should take a break, you can continue refining the new spell tomorrow morning."
And well, she was right, Twilight was really tired right now and she needed to rest, maybe the princess Celestia wouldn't mind, even though she said she needed this new spell asap.
"Alright then, I don't think Celestia would mind waiting a bit longer for the new spell"
"Well then, let's go to the dining area, The castile maid had already prepared dinner in the dining room."
Twilight closed her book and turn off the communication transmitter and went with Starlight to the dining room, during the walk she could see the moon shining brightly in the night sky from the castle window.
After a few minutes of walking, they ended up in the dining room, where they could see Celestia and Luna sitting in their seats, on the dinner table are all kinds of delicacy and food originating from all over Equestria province.
White fully bread made of wheat from Ukrida, cheese from Itaily, wines from from Prance, oranges from Sapin, corn from Uhiu, Strawberry from Scoltland, Apples from Texon, Pineapple from the Fillypine, tofu from Moncoltlia, potatoes from Idahoof, rice from Japonies, Chocolate drink made from cocoa beans from Ethioponia, Eggs from Fillyvania, edible flower from Neigherlands, cashew nuts from Germane, vegetables from Manechusetts, durians from Maresia, waffles from Belgiem, bananas from Shirelanka, Olives from Turley, hays from Manesota, grape from Austaillia and more.
In the past there was something called 'Bacon' that came from the province of New Mexicolt, it tasted really good but everypony stopped eating it once they found out what it was actually made of, not a single pony wants to eat that murderus product.
Twilight went to sit on the seat that had been prepared, in an instant the maids served her with various kinds of food, she really didn't know where to start.
After a few minutes, she finally chose to try the Apple Pie and Haybruger, it's really delicious, she also tried a drink, she took a Coltca-cola bottle and drank it.
After she finished her drink, Celestia started to speak.
"So Twilight, how's your work going?"
"Erggh, going pretty well, i-i managed to create a new spell to start translating the foreign language, it's just that I need some time to perfect it and make it more efficient to use" Twilight said nervously.
"Ohhh that sounds really good Twilight, when do you think it will finish?, because my council said if we don't open up trade soon, Equestria's economy could suffer a drastic downturn of up to 10%"
"Hmm,..maybe tomorrow evening?"
"Very well Twilight, this is going faster than I expected, I'll wait until tomorrow evening."
"Okay princess."
Celestia got off her seat and started to leave, probably to her room to sleep, while Luna still remained in her seat enjoying her wine from Prance, the wine she drank was special, this wine was over 100 years old and aged to perfection.
She stared at the night sky through the window, she was still thinking about what Discord said, she knew that Discord words were often misleading, but even if only half of what he said was true, the natives on this planet were still basically a monster.
In the past she was nicknamed as 'Blue Devil' after dropping a 1 klometer size moon rock from onto the Zebra Empire capital, but she doesn't care, Zebra intentionally kills her ponies and even intends to exterminate ponykind from Equus because they think they are superior. (Think of it as Equus version of the Holocaust.)
Luna thought that if she could try to intimidate or show off her and her sister power they wouldn't try to attack or invade Equestria, there's a reason why no nation/kingdom dared to go to war with Equestria for over 1000 years, and no species would dare try to challenge the Equestrian, except maybe a Changeling, but that's because their queen is so reckless and stupid.
She thought of showing off the entire fleet of Airship and her magic power to the natives, but she remembered that Celestia would likely disapprove of it, she had always acted weak in front of the delegates or diplomats from other countries.
After thinking for a few minutes, Luna them looked at Twilight and Starlight, she could see them finishing their dessert, she could see Starlight feeding piece of cake into Twilight's mouth, they both are making out together really looks very cute, the magic of friendship is really effective in turning your enemy into your closest friend.
After they finished their dessert, Twilight also looked sleepy from exhaustion because she had worked all day, and trying to digest dinner basically taking all the remaining energy in Twilight's body.
She could see Twilight almost losing her balance when she was about to leave the dining room, luckily Starlight caught her with her telekinesis.
She also carried Twilight body and took her out of the dining room to sleep in the bedroom that had been prepared for the both of them.
After they left Luna finished her wine and went to the balcony of the castle to do her night duty.
=/// Twilight private Bedroom, Canterlot Castle\\\=
In one of the private rooms in Canterlot castle, a Unicorn enters carrying her close friend with her telekinesis, she put her in her bedroom and covered her with a blanket, after everything looks done Starlight intends to go to her own room which the castle maid has also prepared this afternoon, but apparently she wasn't the only one who felt really tired today, she had helped Twilight in looking for look for books on language spells, and also she spent several hours in recording data about the foreign language from the radio transmitter.
and just like Twilight she ate so much food tonight, she ate so many Fried rice and Cheese Omelettes.
She drained the last of her energy while using telekinesis to carry Twilight to her bed.
Feeling that she would soon lose her balance soon, she tried to lie down on the same bed as Twilight, Twilight of course wouldn't mind if she slept with her for the night, she allowed her to stay in her castle after all.
Starlight began to lie down beside Twilight, she took part of the blanket to warm herself, she could see Twilight's face closely, she looked really cute and beautiful, after a few minutes Starlight closed her eyes and began to sleep.
=/// Meanwhele, Celestia Chamber\\\=
Celestia was lying on her bed, even though her body was really tired from doing royal duty all day, she couldn't sleep because she kept thinking about what made Equestria Suddenly being teleported to another world, this wasn't the sort of villainess work she was used to before, why they bother about teleporting the ponies who should be in other countries/kingdoms to their homeland still confuses her, and also if this is indeed the villainess work, why would they teleport them to a planet like this, why they teleport them to an habitable planet and not some kind of planet full of lava or something.
She closed her eyes and hoped to finally get to sleep, after a few hours later she finally fell asleep.
But there was one thing wrong, she opened her eyes and saw that she suddenly found herself in an endless white place, she looked around and saw somepony, it was Alicorn, she is having a creamy white coat and long red hair, Celestia has spent her foalhood reading the bible and history book about how and where she and her sister came from to know who is she.
"Mom?"
The alicorn smiled, Celestia couldn't hold back her tears of joy, for so long she really hoped to finally meet her mother, Celestia quickly approached the Alicorn and hugged her, she really hoped that this wasn't some kind of dream made by Luna.
The alicorn hugged Celestia back with its wings, they kept hugging each other for several minutes until finally Celestia started to speak.
"I finally found you, I know that you are not a made-up figure from the Bible!"
"Yes, I'm really indead real, I'm really proud of what you and your sister have accomplished."
Celestia hugged her even more.
"We only do what's best for the ponykind, and try to maintain harmony in Equestria."
"good, I always knew that you and your sister really the right pony to lead them to Harmony."
"But...something happened a few days ago and I don't know why,..and wh--
"Pissstt, it's okay Tia, actually I was the one who did that, I was the one who summoned Equestria to another world"
Celestia was surprised by her words, she then asked.
"B-but, why?"
"They need your help..."
"Help for what?"
"You will find out soon enough."
The place was starting to glow bright and dazzling, but before Celestia could ask she suddenly woke up from her sleep.
Celestia looked around her room and tried to remember what happened earlier, she remembered meeting her mother and she said that she was the one who did all this.
Celestia looked at the clock and realized that it was time for her to raise the sun, she quickly got off her bed and started her duty as sun princess.
=///Meanwhile\\\=
Starlight began to wake up from her sleep, she opened her eyes to realize that she was suddenly in a rather 'inappropriate' sleeping position with Twilight, she tried to slowly resign her self from that unholy position, but unfortunately Twilight suddenly woke up from her sleep, both of their faces turned red, Twilight was silent and unable to say anything until...
"I can explain, it's not what you think.."
"It's okay Starlight, actually you make my sleep more comfortable, I've never slept this well before."
Starlight's face got redder after Twilight said that.
"Ohh, okay...erggh,..How about we get up and have breakfast?"
"Yeah, sure."
They also started to get off their seats and do their morning activities before finally going to the dining room for breakfast.
=///Eastern pacific ocean\\\=
As far as 987 kilometers from the Equestrian mainland, there is a fleet of warships, consisting of 13 ships, including the Nimitz-Class Aircraft Carriers, USS Theodore Roosevelt.
Admiral Jordy Wilson was in the meeting room with the important crew on board, in the room there is also a diplomat named Alex collins, he will serve as the American Ambassador for the Aliens, he hoped the first contact would be peaceful, he was ordered to open diplomatic relations between America and the Aliens and maybe try to find out what happened to Hawaii.
Around the world, especially in America, many people are eager to know what fate has befallen the Hawaiian and other Oceanic countries, they want to know what happened to them and hope that the aliens might be able to bring them back, and if they couldn't do it, the government asked him to ask for compensation, What?, you thing America is going to say nothing after losing one of their member states? NO.
Alex saw Jordy open a file that showed the plan for the operation of Eagle Contact.
"Alright, here's the plan, we're going to send a plane to scout one of their cities, try to take the data and photos we need, Once they are done, we will deploy our ship to dock near their port and start trying to contact their government."
"And if they are aggressive?" one of the crew said.
"But what if they don't understand what we mean?, what if they think that we are trying to attack them?" Other crew also asked him.
"And then we'll defend ourselves, until we can understand their language." Jordy answers.
"Alright then, by the way who shall we send first?"
"I'll be sending out 1st fighter squadron, consisting of 6 F35s, I'm sure they'll be able to carry out the mission safely."
"This will be the city we will visit, it is the largest city we find from satellite photos." *Shows a satellite photo of Manehattan*
"And just in case, we also have to prepare 2nd and 3rd Fighter Squadron in case of an emergency."
"Very well then, let's start the operation."
Everyone in the room stood up and saluted one another, they then went to their respective posts, Admiral Jordy gave his orders to the flight crew to immediately prepare their planes.
=///Moscow, Russian Federation\\\=
President Karol Morozov is sitting at his desk, he is watching the news on the TV broadcasting live images of the first contact operation between the United States and the Aliens, he could see USS Theodore Roosevelt starting to launch some F35s into the air to begin scouting the alien continent.
He squeezed the TV remote so hard it almost broke it, he earnestly hoped for the American fleet to be suddenly wiped off the face of the earth by aliens at this very moment.
He actually really wanted to send his own fleet to try to contact the aliens, but because of the war that happened a few years ago, the black sea fleet was basically annihilated, first, they lost Moskova, then Kuznetsov and then Yakamov.
With the war effort turning on them, the people overthrew the previous Russian President and replaced him with Karol Morozov, although anti-American at best he sat in the worst crisis Russia has ever experienced.
Russia's downfall started when the Federal Republic of Chechnya declared succession and declared a third Islamic republic, and after that came a series of successions after successions.
After Chechnya was Dagestan, to North Ossetia (which fought a brief war with Georgia over South Ossetia before finally ceding it to the Georgians.), then was the Tuvan Republic, Tartarstan, Ingushetia and Balkaria, and finally, the last two states to succeed would be Cherkessia and Adygea.
Due to a sudden turn of events the Wagner Rebellion of 2026 occurred when the Russian government failed to pay any pension for the services, so in response the Mercenary's leader's son oversaw the creation of a mercenary state, doing this he followed his father's footsteps which resulted in the creation of a Mercenary nation, spanning from the Province of Bryansk from all the way to the remaining foothold of the Black Sea, the Krasnodor Province, it was there that Wagner ceased the remaining Black Sea fleet and then declared war on the Russian Federation, fearing for what might happen NATO organized a task force to support Russia to put down the rebellion in hopes of preventing nuclear terrorism.
As for the Russian troops that were now backed into a corner by Ukrainian forces the entire frontline collapsed into a warlord era type warzone, with three area's being Controlled by Novvarsiya, the remanents of the Russian Army, and the Crimeans.
Due to the desperate economic state of Russia, in 2027 a deal was reached to sell the entire region of Vladivostk to China in exchange for 700 billion dollars in ruble, China now grew bigger with a coast now extended up to the Sakhlin island.
Followed this land deal Russia scored deals with Japan to sell them in exchange for a fair sums amount of money.
The war devastated Russia if not destroyed it. And the war on its Neighbor Ukraine had devastating effects on the entirety of Eastern Europe with Belerus now fighting itself with Lukashenko and Liberal allies, as for Kaliningrad, it was quickly taken over by it's neighbor Poland, despite protests and threats made by Russia it eventually spiralled off like a flame. As for the enclave province of Abhaskia, it was quickly ceased by the Georgian army in a surprise operation that followed.
Russia's economy for now is stable due to the land it gave away, but now with it being reduced to a mere minor power status despite nuclear deterrance, it has severely losts it's voice, although it still holds power in the UNSC, it had to recall all operations in Africa and the Middle East to reduce military budget, in result the chaos in the the regions spiralled out of control and civilwars are now rampant in Africa.
And now He reduced to watching the news as there is nothing else to do for several minutes until for some reason the news channel that he watched, the 'Fox News' chose to start playing a very goofy song when the last plane finally took to the sky.
"Americaaa..." ♫
"Americaaa..." 𝅘𝅥𝅮
"America, fuck yeah!" ♫
"Comin' again to save the motherfuckin' day, yeah." 𝅘𝅥𝅮
"America, fuck Yeah!" ♫
"Freedom is the only way, yeah
Terrorists, your game is through
'Cause now you have ta answer to
America, fuck yeah!" 𝅘𝅥𝅮
"So lick my butt and suck on my balls
America, fuck yeah!" ♫
"Whatcha' gonna do when we come for you now." 𝅘𝅥𝅮
"It's the dream that we all share
It's the hope for tomorrow
(Fuck Yeah!)" ♫
Irritated by the song as it mocked the now destroyed Russian dominance, Karol throws the TV remote at his television screen and ends up destroying it.
After that, he called his men to replace the broken television.
=///Magidar Station, Fillydelphia\\\=
It was 6:48 a.m., Jade Flash was eating her breakfast at her station, she enjoys a Haybruger with a bottle of Coltca-cola.
Her shift time will be over soon and she will be able to go home soon, everything feels normal until...
BEEP BEEP....BEEP BEEP.
"Arrhhhh $hit, here we go again."
She felt irritated by the continuous appearance of mysterious flying objects that kept appearing on his Magidar display, she ignored it because he thought it would be the same as before, where the strange object would immediately change its direction the moment it approached Equestrian airspace.
But unfortunately for her, this time the mysterious object didn't change its course, instead continued to fly and eventually began to enter the Equestrian airspace.
'What the buck' he thought.
"Unknown flight. This is Eastern Equestrian air traffic control center, (EETCC), You have entered Equestria airspace, please respond!"
She kept repeating this several times, but they didn't answer, so she called the military to inform them about this aerial intrusion.
=///Canterlot, Equestria\\\=
Celestia was having breakfast, this time they were eating pancakes and not some kind of sumptuous meal that was usually served in castles.
She could see Luna, Twilight and Starlight enjoying their meal, this morning was indeed peaceful, even so she still thinks about the things that happened last night, where he met his mother while she was sleeping.
She says she is the one who brought them all here, but for what?
She said they needed help?, but help for what?
And also if they manage to help them with their problems will they finally be able to return to Equus?
All these questions kept circling her head until one of the royal guards suddenly burst into the dining room with a bang.
"What's wrong lieutenant?, you know we're having breakfast."
"I'm sorry to disturb you Your highness, but there is an emergency."
"What kind of emergency?"
"There has been an aerial intrusion by a 6 unknown flying object in the eastern part of Equestria, Magadar station in Fillydelphia reported they're headed for Manehattan, and they'll be there in a several minutes."
Luna spat out her coffee in surprise at the guard's words, and Twilight and Starlight choked on their food.
Celestia's eyes opened wide and a sense of dread began to enter her body.
The room was silent until Twilight started talking frantically.
"No No No No,...I still haven't finished my spell, I should have continued in perfecting the spell last night, this was all my fault!"
"It's okay Twilight, it's not your fault, all of this was unexpected, I'm also really surprised for them to come to us so soon." said Celestia
"So what should we do?" Starlight ask
"I think we should go to Manhattan, we don't know what they came for, and we have to prepare for the worst." Luna said.
"Agreed, lieutenant, tell Admiral Sky Mustang to put 1st Airship fleet on standby, my sister and I will take care of this" Celestia ordered
"Of course Your Highness, I will inform him of your order immediately"
The guard left the dining room, the dread still remained in the room.
"So how are we going to go to Manhattan, we will not be able to arrive on time if we use the train or Airship."
"How about we just use teleportation?" Starlight suggested
"But wouldn't teleporting yourself that far be really exausted, we don't know what abilities the Natives of this world have." said Luna
"We can combine the energy of the four of us and teleport ourselves simultaneously, with that we can conserve our energy."
"All right then, Twilight bring a copy of your new language spell, we're going to need it."
"But princess, the spell is still not yet being perfected."
"It's better than having nothing at all Twilight."
Alright then princess, I'll quickly pack up everything right away."
"Very well, we must hurry now".
And in that way, January 5, 2029 will be remembered as the day humanity made contact with extraterrestrial civilization for the first time, this will bring about a permanent change to the course of human history, the earth will never be the same again since then.
Um how is English weird when its identical to Ponish verbally and Also our airforce will tear apart their airships so for the peace or war options I will go peace because in alot of fics war between humans and ponies is actually started by equestria rather than humanity so I would like to see something different for a change
11439032
yes you are right, Stories about human-pony wars have been repeated over and over again in other fanfiction, I will stick to my promise that this fiction will focus on Political, Economical, Cultural, and Religious stuff, I'm not going to say there will be no intervention or war between ponies and humans, I'm just saying that it won't be the focus of the story.
🇵🇭 hello naa ko diri Pinoy ako
I say go with the peaceful approach. The aggressive approach will turn most people off I think. You can have everyone ready for trouble but nobody acts until the other side goes blatantly aggressive.
In nearly all mainstream stories & shows the ponies are about peace only when attacked first by an outside military do things go to war with Equestria on defense. Even as the ponies fight the princesses try for peace. I see the two forces in a tense but peaceful stand-off while talks between them carry on. As a former U.S. NAVY vet the battle group would sit just outside the harbor and use 🛰 to image the terrain also most Navy ships can use high intensity lights or even flags to communicate if radios are out or in this case a language barrier. My vote is a tense but peaceful meeting.
I'm gone for the peaceful, but with so many countries I think Equestria comes between the fronts of China and USA.
sorry for bad english. translated by Google
I'm voting for a peaceful yet tense meeting.
11439047
The reason I chose peace is because in those fics is because in those other fics its actually Equestria that starts those wars with humanity usually.
That was a good chapter. I vote for peace.
I vote for peace, for because I'm interested to see how a meeting between the humans and ponies will go
I say peace, because both sides don’t want a war and a tense negotiation due to misunderstandings and the language barrier.
PAX
BELLVM
Amare morte ne tradas nos.
As John Lennon once said : All we are saying, Is give Peace a chance
peace
I think the ponies will triggered world war 3 just by their arrival but starts peaceful contact at first. Also you need to work on not mixing up the genders of your characters. Brother, he, and him go together, and sister, she, and her go together.
11439491
thanks for reminding me, i will fix it soon.
As much as I want this to be peaceful contact I don't think that's realistic at this point.
Equestrians have been told they're facing monsters and have had their airspace violated.
I expect some skirmishes when the initial landing is mistaken for an invasion force.
Once someone cracks the language barrier peace talks become viable.
11439514
I just hope that he writs peaceful first contact because usually in stories like this its usually the ponies that attack humanity ironically. We are usually minding our own business when they declare war on us. How can Equestria claim to be a species that values peace and harmony when they will attack another species unprovoked.
11439056
Interesting that French and Spanish, sister languages, are categorized so differently ... and of course, English is strange, as it's three languages mashed together (early German, Latin, Norman/French [scandinavian influence]
Peacefull please
another vote on peace right here
I would as well like to see peaceful approach.
I think this chapter confirms 100% that the author is too nationalistic and patriot something that honestly makes me laugh a lot because it's an American cliché.
I am sorry to tell you my dear author that the way in which he portrays other countries is too stereotyped and clearly influenced by American propaganda. (Although it does not matter because it is entertaining and fun)
I have a sincere question to the author, is the way you represent other countries what you really think of them or are you just doing it ironically and sarcastically for comedy?
You should know my dear writer that this world is not black and white, it is a huge shades of gray, it is well known throughout history that Russia, China, Japan, Canada, the United States, and many others countries are guilty of horrible cruel and bloody crimes, you can't really say there is a good country in this world because no one is really free from the blood of the innocent
11440218
I do it for comedy and ironic stuff, this is because information about other countries is based on memes that I get on Twitter, and by the way I am Indonesian, I don't really side with any country.
I vote for a peaceful approach (sorry for mistakes if that's Google translator damn it)
I would like to see aggressive path, but I vote for peace
Also, please include Polish or something
I can help you with translation11440562
Sure
I would also like to put in my vote for a peaceful contact. However if you do continue the story i would jsut say that the first few year or years would be a tiny bit awkward for the Human Race but nothing serious, just some funny mishaps.
11440238
Great now I feel stupid
From what I see in the comments, the lovers of peace will win
But that seems impossible to me even in a fantasy story, humans more well known for our acts of greed, violence and irrationality
We tend to use and interpret the terms of human and person very unequally when it suits us, I don't even want to imagine what would happen to non-humans
It is well known that if you take 2 random people and lock them in a room they will find reasons to kill each other
Even if we could get a peaceful contact at first, it would be ruined by our lunatics, religious fanatics, political fanatics, racists, xenophobes, our general degenerates and deranged
I vote for peace. Also why do you not use real life people (like Ron DeSantis for USA or Dmitriy Medvedev for Russia)?
11441392
Because that polarizes the story to the point only one faction will read it. Better to use made up people than alienate half your audience.
I hope I'm not too late for voting. If not, I vote for PEACE. I mean, it's okay to show the ponies the humans' military power, but not in a violent way. A military parade, military demonstrations, etc. instead.
I vote for peace (for a very big reason), anyways, B21- Raider is basically Americas new spy plane/ war machine.
To be fair I don't really care which country contacts the ponies first, I just don't like United States arrogant attitude and I feel sorry for ponies that would be forced to deal with them.
peace
Has there been any stories that ponies come in peace and not invade the humans?
Wait the minute! I thought what you said earlier, is that you don't this to end up as a "Human vs pony war" cliche, or a Convention Bureau rip-off.
So, why the sudden change, and forcing us to vote?
I see the next chapter has already been posted, but I haven't read it yet, still I wish to voice my opinion as its what I would have voted for if I got here sooner.
Peace.....but it should be a very near thing, peace in the face of conflict. Peace that requires both sides to forgive for some hurt that both are justify angry ahout.
Peace not because both sides deserve it, but because both sides are forced to see that the OTHER side is hurting and are worthy of hope.
I somehow missed this chapter! Would have voted for peace, and I see it has won the day. Great! Humans really underestimate how peaceful we CAN be. Similarly, I think people overestimate Equestria's peaceful nature - regardless, i'm sure contact would go well assuming the humans don't panic about Hawaii (and Celly keeps Luna's concerns in check, now she's had her visit from Faust).
A bible, hmm? Giving it a different name would work to make it seem more alien, unless you really do want to insinuate that human religions in fact worship Faust unknowingly.
Peaceful.. for now. Also how the heck Celestia know what a 'bible' is if they have zero knowledge of our earth language yet alone culture and religion.
i dont need no effin HELP from a pony!
BUT
i do accept cuddles though......
this is too much...
i know isekai japan is basically JSDF's propaganda. but at least they try to not make that obvious.
what's this? god's chosen ponies come to liberate other species from themselves.
this story should be conversion bureau's equestria's official narrative. like when the russian says they come to liberate the ukrain from neo nazi.
11495861
Well, I just don't want to make Equestrian history completely some kind of sun-shining rainbow, I want them to be human-based.
11489594
true true.
dont need help from a pony. but cuddles are good!
11448567 Language difficulties I expect. The author was looking for a term to refer to a holy book, and chose that. 'The Story of Faust' would have been better. 'The Faustiad' maybe?
11702963
Yeah...I wanted to base Faust's with the first Emperor of Japan, he was basically a mythical fegures.
Is this really a song they'd put as background for news report about diplomacy mission? No judging - really curious.
Also president Morozov seems to be incompetent. I mean - breaking TV's in anger? History teaches us that you have to be a lot more cold-blooded and calculating to rule Russia. This guy would be lucky to survive for a week! Yet again - that's just IMHO, but he should be sitting in meeting room with this dimension version of Lavrov and calculating moves for 1000 turns ahead for every possible scenario.
On the other hand he perfectly fits the cliche!
Что-ж, во первых, "this not aged well)"
А во вторых - это идиотское и бесполезное решение. Почти половину Тихоокеанского флота ВМФ РФ составляют подлодки с ядерным оружием на борту, а также корабли, их прикрывающие, чьё предназначение, по сути - подплыть к американскому берегу поближе, и сжечь любые города, до которых смогут долететь ракеты. Эти корабли не предназначены для чего-то другого. Хотя я могу представить, что другая половина ТВМФ РФ могла бы быть переведена для защиты побережья, но... А как они бы туда добрались?) Я сильно сомневаюсь, что в той ситуации, в которой оказалась Россия в вашем произведении, ей бы дозволили провезти эти корабли сквозь суэц и босфор, не говоря уже о том, что в такой отчаянной ситуации, каковой вы её описываете, а именно - полная неспособность защитить корабли с воздуха (что, как показывает реальность - нереалистично, иначе бы весь черноморский флот лежал бы на дне, а морское превосходство Украине не видать как своих ушей без зеркала после начала вторжения), за которой следует полная потеря боеспособности в воздухе и на континенте, тут речь уже должна идти не о переводе флота с одного края света на другой, а о мирных переговорах, (ну, или ядерной о дубине), потому что передислоцировать целую флотилию, чьё единственное предназначение - быть частью ядерной триады и защищать охотское море, ради замены УЖЕ УНИЧТОЖЕННОЙ ФЛОТИЛИИ, идя сквозь явно ВРАЖДЕБНЫЕ ВОДЫ, в зону, где эти корабли, вероятнее всего, сотрут в порошок, это по сути самоубийство, ни один человек с головой на плечах такого не сделает, а если сделает - долго в кресле правителя он не просидит.
И да, в третьих - какого чёрта президент страны, это гневливый идиот? Такие люди даже в диктатурах надолго не задерживаются. + как уже написал один комментатор до меня - Россия здесь выставлена чрезмерно некомпетентной, словно автор реально подсел на американскую пропаганду (и не надо говорить, что вы индонезиец, и благодаря этому, не выбираете ничью сторону - пропаганда воздействует на всех, независимо от национальности, и наши "либералы", тому наглядное подтверждение).

Yes, I remember the story where a fleet of Russian ships went around the world during the Russo-Japan War.
