WARNING: UNIDENTIFIED ORGANISM APPROACHING AS HIGH SPEEDS

Hmm...?

Turning away from the pile of cube shaped snow pile, the drone looked back in the direction of the trench the escape pod dug with its landing. Its sensors automatically locked onto a rapidly approaching dark blue dot. Time seemed to slow, as the scanners did their job.

Oh! Can it talk?

Yay! Social activity!

As time sped back up for the drone, the blur quickly landed a small distance away. Zooming in where the creature landed, the drone was surprised at what it saw. A creature resembling a pony from the records stored in its memory, stood just a few hundred feet away. Surprisingly, it shared the same basic shape, but looked nothing like the picture it had on file. Its mane and tail waved in a constant outward flow from her head and dock. Its body had curves resembling that of  what would be considered an attractive female of the creator's species. She also appeared to be wearing jewelry of some sort, a tiara, a highly decorated yoke, and... metal slippers?

What...?

As the drone stared at the creature, it suddenly broke into a run towards the crash site.

Well, at least she can run like a pony, not just look like one.

As the creature neared the escape pod, she slowed down considerably, then began to circle the object. As she did, the drone hovered over, and floated behind her as she observed the pod. As she walked, she began to talk to herself.

FOREIGN LANGUAGE DETECTED: TRANSLATING

"-nder, what kind of metal could withstand not only entering the atmosphere, but the impact as well..."

Gasp! Intelligent social activity!

"Well, its not meant to withstand either of those, but its a very strong titanium alloy." The drone responded in a happily eager voice.

"Titanium, hmm... I guess that would work for impacts, but it still doesn't explain how it made it through the atmosphere." She responded.

Sniff... Idle scientific conversation... Oh, how I've missed you...

"As I said, its not meant to. Your guess is as good as mine on that one." The drone replied in a happy tone.

The creature 'Hmm'ed' in agreement, as its horn lit up.

Really? Neat!

The creature's head suddenly turned towards the drone, with a slightly surprised look on its muzzle.

"Hi!"

The creature began to scream in a high pitch voice, in response, the drone screamed back. In response to the drone screaming in response to her screaming, she began to backpedal away from the drone. As she backed away, the creature tripped over a small piece of metal from the wreckage. As it fell with, by the drone standards, an adorable 'eep', the energy gathered in its horn shot off, slamming into the drone. When the bolt of energy hit the drone, the energy arched across its surface for a few seconds.

Besides that, this isn't going very well...

"You know, this is not how I imagined my first conversation after getting out of that infernal pod proceeding." The drone stated as it turned around, and started to float in the direction of its cube shaped snow pile, "When you're ready to have an intelligent conversation, I'll be over here. Making snowbots."
