[b]Response to Equestrian Comms Blip[/b]
The moment the signal sent out, another signal came in, using the same encryption, broadcast type, and code, as if the same type of machinery was producing the signal in response, even though this was first-contact. After the Equestrian signal had been repeated, another signal came in, with the same language, the same accent as the Equestrians, the same everything, really, as if they were communicating with another Equestrian ship.

"Experiencing Deja Vu? Oh what fun this is, to watch it all happen again. I remember your ancestors, little ponies, oh how large they had grown. Larger than you could ever imagine. The humans, too, and their Dolphins and Abh. We're not entirely sure about those Dwarves, or whomever they are, as they must not of been large enough to warrant enough of our attention.

Oh, and that High Archmage, ah, what was his name... High Archmage, Duck de Steelhorn. Ridiculous name, but it must be the norm with you, since your kind has had the exact same names since your Faust popped you into existence. Now, are you like your ancestors, who claim peace and yet build up one of the three most powerful naval forces in the galactic cluster? Or are you truly peaceful?"
