[b]Space, Near Char[/b] The bridge of the Dreadnought [i]Chaos[/i] was alight with activity. It was the Equestrian 1st Fleet, a 101 vessels, including the Dreadnought it self. They all hung in the void preparing for a jump, there mission was to find signals that were linked to other nations in hope to prove that the Equestrians weren't alone. The Admiral of the Fleet, and Captain of the [i]Chaos[/i] was Steelclaws. A brilliant man who graduated the academy on Equiis with the top grades in his class, he quickly rose to the rank of Admiral of the Fleet, and was recognized as one of the most brilliant Admirals in existence. He wore a grey outfit with the insignia of the Equestrian Navy, and a symbol representing as rank as Admiral. His head was mostly made of white feathers, and he had eyes of stone cold gray. While not visible most of his body was grey feathers, with some more white feathers on his legs. "Steelclaws sir, transmission found, playing it now" spoke one of the unicorn comms officers. The transmission played across the bridge. Steelclaws, and many other seems shocked. The first language played sounded exactly like Equestrian Standard. How could they possibly know the Equestrian's language? "Never mind that, all ships prepare for FTL launch, lock on location of the transmission." shouted Steelclaws across the comms links to the fleet. The ships flew across a tunnel of purple and white, and arrived at the location of the ship that had broadcasted the signal. "Prepare Grav beam, stabilize the ship and release nanobots to repair any fractures in the ship." spoke Steelclaws. The Grav beans fired, a pulsating beam of blue energy. They brought the ship out of range of whatever had damaged it as nanobots rapidly filled in any cracks or leaks within the ship. The broadcast symbol activated, as Steelclaws spoke across frequencies in Equestrian Standard. "Greetings, I'm Admiral Steelclaws of the Equestrian Empire. We are glad to meet your species and hope for long and happy relations."
