"Personally, no." said Ekuryua "However, reports from Captain Miklan and Commander Natālija have stated that they have been feeling Deja Vu while near your people. Miklan in particular says he feels safe around you in the same way he feels safe near close and old friends. The existence of the Triarian Collective corresponds with our myths of the ancient times in which our people sailed throughout the stars as we have begun to do now. As for trade routes, our nation has no interstellar transport vessels, only the [i]Starfire[/i] and [i]Challenger[/i]. The first is an exploratory vessel and the second is a warship, neither can be freed up for trade duty. However, we are currently working on other FTL technologies that wouldn't require a special drive. Of particular interest to us are Miklan-Rosa Tubes, and of course the mythical [i]Fath[/i], but nobody has ever seen a [i]Sord[/i]. Perhaps we could pool our resources towards one of those goals, it would make interstellar travel cheap enough for average citizen. On the Defensive Pact, consider it written and signed. Our docks are open to you and all military assets we have will be ordered to put your distress calls at top priority. There is no such thing as being too prepared."

"Please forgive us." Added Emily.
A quick look from President Jinto Lynn told the two that the Equestrians had no idea what wearing a M.I.S.S. suit meant, their jaws relaxed, but they appeared no less embarrassed.

Having not recieved a response, the [i]Challenger[/i] decided to make a quick jump to the asteroid belt where the contact was taking place. Seeing what they thought were oddly-shaped asteroids and an obvious alien fleet, the ship opened a channel with the fleet, assuming that they had translated English due to being in contact with the Equestrians.
"This is the Lakfakalle Cooperative Federation Interstellar Vessel [i]Challenger[/i], we have recently colonized the most habitable planet in this system and have chosen to contact your people in order to secure relations with surrounding nations. To make ourselves clear, we are not looking for conflict, but will defend our claim to the planet we have chosen for colonization."
