"...what?" I repeated myself as I stared at the empty container than at the doctor as she stared at me with a shit-eating grin.

I don't know why but I just want to beat that grin off her face.

"You know, the thing that creates all biological life, the basic building blocks of life." One of the nurses says as I simply tilt my head in confusion, not fully understanding what is being said.

"Uhh...."

"Oh come on now, there is no way you are that clueless." Rainbow Dash said, getting a bit impatient and irritated with me.

"Actually..." This is one of the few things I never learned as a Tenno let alone even learn when I was a normal human being.

Maybe Ordis would have something on this? Probably my best bet and most likely a safe bet that he has something within the Codex for me to update myself with.

"How in Celestia's name did you not get sex education at your age?" Applejack said as Rainbow Dash agreed with her along with Rarity and Twilight.

"Well I was trapped on a ship for three years where each and every single day was a fight for survival and immediately upon rescue we were trained and conditioned to be a weapon to be used against our enemies. That didn't really leave any time for a class such as...what was it called again?" That and I doubted they wanted to teach us something that wasn't a way to kill or capture someone.

"Sex Education, Viktor, is instructions on issues relating to pony sexuality or in your case...whatever your race is...and this education will include emotional relations and responsibilities between the two ponies and the possibility of a herd being established and formed, sexual anatomy, sexual activity and how reproduction is done, along with the proper age of consent for the act of sex to be done in, discuss safe sex along with proper application of birth control and sexual abstinence." Twilight said with a sort of scholarly application, I don't know anything she just said but seeing this is something new I must learn it so it can be archived within the codex to be shared with my fellow Tenno.

That and if I am going to be the first Tenno to ever learn this than I must pay close attention and not leave anything out to be recorded!

"Wait, wait, wait! So let me get this straight." Rainbow Dash shouted as she pushed her friends aside and was standing right in front of me, her eyes full of mirth and excitement for some reason.

"So you are telling me that you, a several hundred year old being, is still a virgin?"

"I don't know what a virgin is." and the resulted in the cyan mare to laugh loudly at my probable expense.

"Oh sweet Faust this is rich! A virgin alien! Now I have heard and seen everything!"

"Now Rainbow Dash, you shouldn't be laughing at him because he choose to restrain his libido and wait for his special...person? Am I saying this right?" Rarity said as she gave me a gentle smile before giving her friend a reprimanding glare which went unnoticed.

"Don't know, maybe."

"Anyways you shouldn't be laughing at him, last I heard a certain rainbow mare who had a little too much fun with the Wonderbolts when she went to one of their shows." Rarity said and with those words it made her cyan friend shut up and go red in the face, possibly in embarrassment that her supposed secret got out.

"But are you serious though, are you really a virgin?"

"Liaison Twilight, Tenno do not deal with partial information, only a hundred percent certainty and I have no knowledge of what you were spilling out earlier so if it pertains to that information than yes." That and I don't even know what it pertains to so...

All eyes were on me again but this time almost all of them seem to be smiles and squinty eyes, I don't know what that means but it must not be good for me.

The girls were watching me for a while and when the doctor placed on my lap an empty container I simply looked at it for a few moments before speaking out loud with a quiver of fear.

"Why does it feel like I am in for a bad time from all of the female population on this planet?"

And that was when one of the male guards outside threw in his two cents.

"Because if you only knew how skewered the gender ratio is you would have kept your mouth shut about such things." And with that said I immediately allowed myself to sink back into my warframe, afraid for what my future on this planet may hold.

I pray that my engines get fixed soon, I have an inkling of an idea that my body is going to be in a lot of pain.

"Now then, before anypony gets any bright ideas or are thinking of doing anything to our guest, let me remind you that he is fully capable of fighting you off by himself if you were to do something that you will come to regret. I do not need to hear a report of how somepony was rendered hospitalized for the rest of their life or were outright killed for their actions so please, refrain from doing anything foolish." the princess of the sun said in a motherly tone and in that instant everyone present stopped giving that strange stare and smile and sheepishly backed off, kicking their hooves on the tile floor oddly.

Looking back at my civilian assistant, I motioned for her to come closer so I can ask her something.

"Liaison Twilight, this education that of which you speak of, how long will it take to learn let alone to completely comprehend everything that it pertains to?" I wanted to know because if it can clear this up with the rainbow one then she might stop being such an annoyance.

"From what I know of, it only took me two weeks at most to learn everything from within the pages of the books I was given from Celestia when I was still her student when I was little, but for the average pony give or take a month."

Staring at the purple girl I thought it over for a few seconds before acknowledging the information with a stoic nod.

With that tidbit relayed I told the girl how long will it take for her to assemble everything she will need to teach me everything about this particular subject and she said for me to give her a few hours and so I did. I then told her if there are other subject matters I should know of if I am to adjust to a much more normal life and the amount of literate material I am to study and read, it almost feels like my education I undertook when I was learning how to fight the enemies of the empire.

Twilight says that we are to meet in her old study hall that is on the other side of the castle and when I replied that I had no idea on where that is she then said that she will send a guard to fetch me and bring me to her for our lesson.

Although I loath to be fetched like some mongrel pup I conceded to the young girl because for the amount of information I am about to receive about these aliens along with an entirely new subject that has been previously denied to us Tenno, I could possibly be sitting on top of a gold mine.

I might possibly get promoted to the rank of Grandmaster for this!

With my...physical examination over with for the time being I asked to be led back to my room and as I was heading back the guard I was with and I walked past Prince Blueblood and he appeared to be upset at the moment but when he walked by us both he immediately stopped moving and turned around to join the two of us.

"Ah! Viktor is it?" The blond unicorn prince said as we crossed paths, something seems to be on his mind at the moment.

"Yes it is, Prince Blueblood, you seemed troubled while you were walking towards your destination. Is there something bothering you or is it a state-matter that I am not allowed to know of?" Wouldn't be the first time that I got myself involved in political matters.

"Well you are right that something is bothering me but as it being a state-matter? It is not as it is more of a personal problem but I will have it sorted out and dealt with by tomorrow morning. But what I am here for now is to ask you a few questions, if you don't mind that is." The prince said while straightening out his tie, I wonder why people always had to straighten out their clothes when they know it will just get messy later.

"I don't mind, just as long the questions are within reason and do not push into certain boundaries that I deem either irrelevant or personal." That and I would rather not add another case of regicide against me.

"Acceptable, now then, do tell me about yourself for starters if that is within reason." Blueblood asked me as I let his words tumble around for a second before giving him my response.

"It is, and although there is not much I can tell you do to them being personal reasons, all I can truly tell you is that I was a soldier and now I am nothing more than a mercenary always on the look out for his next paycheck."

"A soldier you say? In whose army did you belong to?" Not really a soldier, more like sending one monster onto another and hope they kill each other.

"The Orokin Empire's, me and along with the others were the best of the best, the cream of the croup, but we didn't want to be soldiers well not most of us anyways." Too bad they never realized that we were beyond their control the moment we came home and given our warframes to fight with.

"What do you mean?"

"We were forced into this role when our ship was marooned in the gap between dimensions." And to think that it was all for a means to create a weapon that can be manipulated and not turn against their masters.

"How did that come to be?"

"Sabotage, lots and lots of sabotage." And thanks to the Grineer Queen, she showed me how it happened and what it would eventually lead up to.

Our uplifting beyond the mortal realm to a place between dimensions. The Void and the Universe, the opposites of each other we have become its masters...for the most part anyways.

"I am sorry for the troubles that have befallen onto you and your kin." This is the first time someone has actually felt sorry for us, everyone else always said it was a necessity or that we should be happy that we are even still alive.

I didn't ask to be turned into a weapon of near limitless potential. I didn't ask for this, but it happened and now I have to deal with it, only wished that they asked for volunteers instead of forcing an entire colony to be used as test subjects.

"Don't be, we may have lost everything we hold dear but at the end of it all we have gained the power to protect what little we have left and to save those that are unable to save themselves. We are the guardians that keep watch over the innocent, and when their voices cry out in the darkness we are the shadows that are listening. Our enemies think that they can get away with their heinous atrocities but always fail to realize that we are watching their every single move, cataloging their crimes before finally dispensing our brand of justice upon their heads."

"And just why kind of justice are we talking about here?" The look on his face was the only thing that I needed to know that he hasn't had to see anyone die or deal with its aftermath.

"An execution, the only kind of judgement that we are capable of passing down onto those that dare commit a crime of such reckless disregard for life." That and I kind of got used to executing people that it got to the point that I only that of it as the only means of bringing justice down upon criminals.

"That seems a bit harsh, why not just imprison them instead?" I think it would be pretty hard to imprison some of our enemies when they have literal armies to come to their rescue, better to just cut their heads off and be done with it.

"Because Prince Blueblood, they are too evil to be left alive. They will just get their soldiers and associates to break them out of prison and continue with their plans of galactic domination and damnation to the point where life as so few know it will cease to exist." I said with a bit of finality to it, I knew that he couldn't understand the point of executing the most dangerous of criminals, its like he thinks that they can be reformed and be used for good instead of evil.

Fat chance, if that was possible then the Stalker would have been the first one turned to reformation so he would stop attacking fellow Tenno's on their routine operations. And also to stop helping Hunhow and the rest of the Sentients.

"I see...well, at least that is one way to solve a problem, probably not what we Equestrians would do but that is for your people to decide, bit ours but I do hope that someday you can show some mercy to your enemies, be it imprisonment or being reformed through mental conditioning or a spiritual cleansing." Blueblood said before we turned down a hall until we stopped at my room.

"This is my stop."

"And so it is, well good luck with your day Viktor, if you are going to be spending it with Twilight Sparkle then you best be prepared for numerous lectures that may not end until she deems it time to end them." Blueblood said before walking off, shaking my hand one last time before withdrawing back to his guards and resumed his walk, my guess to either his own chambers or to a room to do his job, whatever that job may be.

Entering my room I give it once more a cursory glance before laying back down onto my bed before I decided to retreat back to my ship, my body reappearing in the Transference Chamber, sitting back in the grand seat and I let out a deep exhale as the air from the palace was starting to become a bit too suffocating to my liking. The clean sterility that my ship produces is more to my liking as it was all I was breathing during my time on the moon within that pod, and now that I am in my ship the environmental differences are almost nonexistent with the only difference being me being allowed to move around instead of being stuck in one position and never being allowed to move.

Getting up from the seat and exiting the chamber I was met with not only my kubrow pouncing on top of me, but my kavat, Petals, as well.

The two of them was waiting for the door to open and as soon as it did my kubrow knocked me down onto the floor while my kavat leapt over them and landed on my chest, staring down at me with the eyes of boredom and contempt, just like how all kavat's treat their owners back before the Old War, and it would seem that even after all those centuries they still carried that trait. I guess they just think all of us humans are only here to serve them by feeding them, petting them and scratching their ears.

Rolling my eyes at the way my kavat is behaving I reached up and decided that if I want to get up and learn more from this world from the tomes I had Ordis scan, then I will have to get this over with.

Scratching behind his ears, my precious Petals let out low rumbling purr of delight, stooping low enough for me to continue with my scratching but after he has obtained my attention my kubrow got up and looked down at me before sitting down and was giving me the same stare my kavat was giving me earlier.

Groaning that my own dog is jealous of my cat I was now scratching both of them behind the ears, the two were now laying down, Petals was on top of me while Snarblebottom was laying near my hand, enjoying having her ears scratched.

I remained like this for a few minutes before finally deciding to get up, Petals did not like this but didn't object to me moving while Snarblebottom only swung a lazy paw at me for moving.

Getting up off the floor I maneuvered around my pets and went towards the Codex that is located on the bridge, and upon arriving there I was greeted with Ordis who seemed to abuzz with activity.

"Greetings Operator! *bzt* New information on the beasts *bzt* Equine Sapiens Information is ready for you to scan through!" My cephalon said through the ship's interior speakers, notifying me that my scans on the natives is complete.

"Thank you Ordis, if the ponies tried to do anything to my ship or my warframe back up in their capital, send me a warning immediately."

"Understood, enjoy your scanning of new information Operator."

And with that said and done I opened up the Codex and began to look through the treasure trove of information that has been recovered from the ancient library that this castle has been holding within its crumbling walls.

Starting with the basics I picked one of their books on history, and as soon as it appeared and the scanning has translated it into a language I can understand I immediately dove into the book and began to read it.

'Equine Biology: Knowing the Differences between the Three Tribes...hmm if there are only three tribes then how come there is the fourth variation? Is that a recent evolutionary change or are they just that rare or ancient that no one had the proper time to study them?'

Thinking that to myself I began with the first page which just so happened to be an acknowledgement to those that helped the creator of this book with the assistance of gathering, cataloging and even being test subjects to be studied. For the moment I skipped this page and a few others because it did not pertain to what I needed but I would go back to it later when I have finished with my information mining.

Flipping through the pages slowly within the Codex I soon found the first entry and it happened to be the one about the basic of the equines, the Earth Ponies. They are of basic appearances with no additional appendages such as wings or horns, and they are generally the strongest of the three tribes due to their affinity to working the land and being attuned to it. They are also generally the heaviest of the three tribes due to their higher muscle mass and also being between the height of both the unicorns and pegasi. Another thing about the Earth Ponies is that they are often known for having multiple children and sometimes throughout their lives to have many children, sometimes well over four foals due to in the early formation of the Equestrian Kingdom along with the arrival of the three tribes to Equestria, many earth ponies would lose their lives due to the feral beasts that roam the land along with the occasional skirmish with the opposing pony tribes and other sentient races that dot the world.

Several pages of studying the Earth Pony biology by looking and understanding their body structure which included muscle structure, bone density and strength, how strong the average Earth Pony is. I even found a page detailing that in rare cases that they are even capable of creating an earthquake of varying magnitudes, but for the most part they can only accelerate the growth of plants and have an easier time maintaining them.

Then after a few more pages on information on some useless matter it then moved onto the Unicorns. They are another variation of pony as they have a spiral horn that rests on their head within the hairline, sometimes lying within it or underneath the hairline, depending on their age or their current state of hair lose. Their horns are just like any other bone in their body with the noticeable exception that they are capable of healing over time if they are damaged, including being able to recover from being snapped off and growing back. They are one of the few species on the planet that is capable of using and bending the very essence of magic that hangs in the air to their will as they are the most proficient in doing so, the other species that happen to be capable of using magic with either the use of an apparatus or some other means.

Unicorns are the shortest of the three pony tribes as they hardly had to rely on using their strength and hands to get the task done and because of this their bodies are smaller than the average earth pony, including muscle mass and height, but what they don't have in strength and size they make it up with their higher intelligence and ability to use magic. There have been a few occurrences where depending on the unicorn and the strength of their magic-casting ability, they have to take the earth pony route and bulk up on their muscle mass to get by with their weaker magical aptitude.

Turning the pages I saw that another thing that separates the unicorns from the pegasi and earth ponies is that due to their affinity to magic they are far more sensitive to its alterations if something were to suddenly change its density and composition in the surrounding areas, the changes to the surroundings would actually make the unicorn feel woozy and disorientated, make their magic stronger or weaker, and even make them hear voices and see things that aren't there. This occurrences would leave the unicorn at a disadvantage most of the time but when they have either been properly trained to deal with the disturbance or have attuned themselves to the changes then it sometimes acts as a boon as it would make their magic stronger during their stay within the disturbed area.

After that it then turned to their biological structures, their muscle mass was thinner and more frail in appearance, their horns also had a set of nerves somehow seemingly placed within them, and if what the recorded book says is true then the horn on their head would actually stimulate them in a way that can either hurt them, tickle them or...excite them...this book is strange for it seems to be delving into the topic that my liaison will be going over with me soon.

'Hmm, I wonder if they are still capable of using their magic if their horn has been removed. A weakness for this species if it doesn't grow back, an annoyance if it does.'

I continue on through the book, flipping through the electronic pages before finally reaching the last of the pony tribes, the Pegasi. The pegasi are one of the few races in the world that is capable of flight along side the mythical dragons of legends and the gryphons of Old Earth's history, but it seems here on this planet those two exist and are real, anyways, pegasi are the flying variant of the pony race as their wings grant them the gift of flight. They are also one of the few races that has a sub-species known as the Thestrals, or commonly called 'Bat Ponies', they are a nocturnal variation of the pegasi with a few alterations to their body structure and appearance. The Thestrals have bat wings instead of the feathery kind, their ears are much more fluffier and are slightly larger, they have fangs that are used for either eating meat or cracking hard nuts, their eyes are slits and apparently allows them to see in the dark although I am unsure how that capable of happening, and lastly are nocturnal and prefers the night over the day.

The two differing types of flying ponies are the tallest of the three pony tribes, both have their homes in the high reaches throughout Equestria such as Cloudsdale for Pegasi and Mount Silvertear for the Thestrals, the two are also considered the lightest of the three tribes even though their muscle mass is slightly more compact and stronger than the unicorns but the reason for their lightness is that the magic coursing through them allows them to take flight with a few flap of their wings and even maintain their airborne movement instead of having to flap their wings in a rapid rate. Another fact about the pegasi and thestrals is that they are capable of manipulating the weather and are able to walk on clouds due to their affinity to the air.

As I went back to re-read the information in the book I eventually had to stop reading when my warframe back in the pony palace signaled me that someone was knocking at my door and was trying to get my attention.

Sighing at the interruption I push myself away from the Codex Console and left it open for me to read at a later time, I went back down the ramp and gave my two pets an affectionate pat to the head before entering the Transference Chamber and sat myself back down into the chair as I reconnected with my Warframe to only ping its location to my ship before void warping myself back to it to resume my education and understanding with my alien liaison.

By the time I have returned to my chambers at the equestrian palace, the door was opened to reveal my liaison has just walked in and was not expecting me to appear right before her let alone to make such an entrance.

I was expecting a guard to retrieve me for my lesson, not my liaison.

"Wow, I wasn't expecting you to answer the door in such a fashion. Is that how your species teleports?" My liaison says as she almost closes the door behind her as I slowly levitate down to the ground.

"No, just those that are like me." And by like me I mean the other Tenno who have woken up from their dream.

"What do you mean?" Twilight said as she tilted her head to the side, not entirely understanding what I mean.

"Nothing. I assume that it is time for the biology lesson Liaison Sparkle?"

"Uh...yes, it is...and you know you don't have to call me that, Twilight is fine." My liaison said as she stutters a bit, I do not know why she wants me to call her by her first name, isn't that normally reserved close friends?

"But you are my liaison are you not? There would be a conflict of interest if we were to get to familiar with each other let alone cause trouble for yourself in the future if we are too well acquainted." I said as I straightened myself out and resumed control over my warframe before stepping out of my room and waited for my guide to follow suit.

"What is wrong with just getting to know you? There wouldn't be any kind of conflict of interest if we are just friends!"

"Liaison Sparkle, 'just friends' is what you want? How will I know that you will not betray me in the future and use what I tell you against me? How will I know that everything that I tell you in utter confidence that it will remain between the two of us will not go flowing to your princesses and no longer remain a private bonding of words between us?" I thought back to some of the scientists that tried to gain my trust when I was first being studied, when I found out that they were just trying to manipulate me, I had my warframe tear them apart.

The walls are still stained red...I think, I will have to check later.

"I...well...as a friend I can keep a secret between us, and as your friend I would never betray you. But if you tell me something that the princesses need to know such as a threat that has been made against us, or that it pertains to something from your people that could cause us harm I would have no choice but to tell them so."

There was a silence between us as I stared down at the purple pony, she started to shift from hoof to hoof, unsure with how to proceed.

"I know it is a lot to ask but the thing about trust is that not only do you want it but you also have to give it to others to give them a chance. Trust goes both ways and to know if you truly trust somepony, you have to take a blind leap and hope for the best."

Staring down at the pony I thought on her words, honestly what she said made some sense.

Only downside of trusting people is that they always have a habit of betraying that trust in the end.

And how do I know this?

Because the Orokin was planning to betray us when the war was over. They created us to be a weapon against the Sentients, and as soon as we finished the job they couldn't hope to complete, they were going to disconnect us from our warframes then have us executed because we are too dangerous to be properly controlled.

"Your words have merit Liaison Sparkle...Twilight...but how do I know that I can actually trust you?" I said as I spoke in a hesitant tone.

Hard to trust people when most of the time they try to kill you.

"Well you just have to wait and see if you can, but trust me when I say this, I never betray my friends. And that includes you."

And with that said I watched as my liaison walked by and motioned for me to follow her, my guess is that it is finally time to learn more about the biology of these ponies, hopefully this will include body language and anything else that the book I was looking over earlier might have overlooked or didn't have at the time.

'Is friendship a means of trial and error to these ponies? If so then some of the history involving them is several events of trial and errors.'

Following the young unicorn through the castle I kept my eyes peeled for anything that might try to pose itself as a threat, but seeing how technologically behind they are, let alone that they are unable to penetrate proto-shields and ferrite armor with their weapons along with their mental attacks. I can say that I am the safest person on the planet, unless they decide to push me into a volcano or shot into the sun.

Traveling through the halls we passed by several equines that was taking care of the castle, my guess they are servants to the princesses, my other guess is that they are indentured slaves or mindless drones but they didn't look depressed and sad or look like drooling fools.

'These workers all look the same, they remind me of the Grineer but...they are not ugly like them nor are they vat grown, or even incompetent at doing their jobs. If I can easily sneak through a densely populated, and heavily defended fortress in space against the elite of the Grineer military has to offer, than these ponies...I wonder if I could requisition the princesses if I can use their soldiers for a training run to see how much better they are to the Grineer when it comes to paying attention to their surroundings.'

Side-stepping past a trio of guards as they march past me I gave them a once over and took notice that they all had a uniformity to them.

'What is with all of these clones?'

But if they are not clones and are instead just the normal ponies that I have seen but they instead dyed their fur color along with their hair, then it makes for one hell of a strange security policy to be in place.

'You must dye your body to match the criteria palette to better protect the realm from any outside harm.'

While I was in thought I soon bumped into a wall and stopped walking forward to see that I have indeed walked into a wall.

"Operator, I gave you ample warning that you were about to walk into a wall."

"Thanks Ordis for the heads up..." I grumbled to myself as I took a step back and looked around to see if anyone saw that and to my dismay there was nine people who saw that.

Taking a step away from the wall I realigned my position before heading towards the door leading to my liaison's study and entered it with the nine ponies following in after me. I heard the others talking about me behind my back, and quite a few of them were snickering as quietly as they could but I heard it all.

As soon as everyone sat down, myself included in one of the seats as my warframe stood in a corner watching everyone, both hands resting just above their respective holsters, just waiting for something to go wrong. I was sitting in the middle of the table, my eyes glued to the old-fashioned chalkboard and for a moment I thought that there was something written on it, and as it turns out there was.

The chalkboard happened to have some sort of distortion field placed on it to prevent anyone from seeing what was written on it and as soon as Twilight stepped into the room and closed the door behind her I watched as her horn turned on and with it the field over the board dispersed revealing what was written on it.

On the chalkboard was several dozen diagrams of ponies in varies positions, all of them in varying states of form of a skeletal structure, a layer of muscles and lastly the naked form, and next to each body was several lines and words detailing what they are. For a moment I thought that she had just took this information from the book that I had scanned but the diagrams she is using are much more detailed, almost to the point of them being lifelike.

Clearing her throat I watched as my liaison straightened herself out and stood straight beside the chalkboard, her friends were sitting around the table, and for a moment I thought that they too were here to learn something but instead they were just here to watch me squirm in my seat. That and the scientist from earlier was here as well, probably to gauge my reactions.

I fucking hate scientists so much...

"Now that we are all here we can get started." Twilight said as she straightened herself out as she looks at all of us at the table.

"The reason why we are having this lesson in the first place is that our new friend here is interested in the biological nature of us equines and is also interested in finding if there are any similarities between our two species." If I had a sample of the native's genetic material I can easily get an analysis and either prove it true or prove it false.

"Something I rather doubt due to us being from two entirely different planets and quite possibly a dimension of existence. The odds of our two species is astronomically low or even downright impossible, let alone that our species are don't even look close to being related." The head scientist said as he straightened his coat out and sat down behind me.

I wanted to pull out my gun and shoot him in the back of the head but sadly that will either strain the diplomatic trust between me and the equestrians or outright destroy it so for the time being I can only tell myself that all will be clear in due time.

"Well Professor we do not simply know that, for all you know there is a slim chance that there could be a similarity between us."

"Liaison Twilight, I doubt that and for good reason. Based on the preliminary scans that I took of you and your friends back in the ruined fortress that we have exited from and I must say that our only similar bridges is that we are both carbon-based lifeforms, we both breath in an oxygen/carbon-dioxide atmosphere, and that we both come from a world that has several different types of biomes. Other than that I cannot tell of any other differences and similarities we may have without any blood or genetic samples." I said as I slowly moved my hands over the smooth surface of the table.

"Nerd." A certain rainbow-haired cyan pegasus said as she snickered along with her pink friend as I rolled my eyes at their childish antics.

Turning to look at Rainbow Dash I saw her snickering expression immediately die off as I give her an emotionless stare before speaking up.

"Miss Rainbow Dash, although you may call me a 'nerd' but with my knowledge I know every weak point on your body along with the weak points on the rest of your friends bodies as well. This weakness also spreads onto the rest of your species and other types of ponies as well." And to prove my point I flickered the rainbow one on the nose, making her let out a startled yelp and back away from me.

I could only smirk as I watched Rainbow Dash retreat from me by moving her chair a couple of inches away from me but we were interrupted when someone cleared their throat and we turned to see that it was none other than Twilight.

"As I was saying before I was interrupted, we may or may not have any similarities but that is not why we are here. We are here because our new friend here does not know anything about the reproductive system of us equines and also quite possibly show us diagrams or sketches of his species reproductive system."

"He better, this might even get me another award within the scientific community." The professor said mostly to himself, writing something down on his notepad as he casts his gaze to the back of my head while I try very hard not to blow his brains out all over the back of mine.

Giving the professor a sideways glance I snort in his general direction before muttering some dark words at him in the Orokin language to keep it a secret from him.

"Anyways, let us start with the basics-" Twilight began her lecture but was rudely interrupted before she can even truly begin.

"You see, when a stallion and a mare love each other very much they-" Pinkie started to say something but her mouth was covered by a purple aura and I only had to look at my liaison to find out who it was from.

"Really Pinkie?" Twilight said, she was giving Pinkie Pie a flat stare, just like the ones that Ki'Teer would give me whenever I tried to haggle his prices down from his expensive as hell void prizes that he would occasionally sell to us Tenno.

"What, Twilight? Pinkie can't give our new friend the rundown of what sex is all about? It is pretty much-" Rainbow started to say what sex was about but that was when my ears were covered by a pair of hands and somehow it managed to completely cut off all sound from reach my ears and I must say I am disappointed.

While I couldn't hear anything from the strange energy aura around my ears I watched as Rainbow Dash stood up and kept on explaining what sex was while at the same time doing hand motions and well...she was being very descriptive.

And how exactly did I know what Rainbow Dash was saying even though I couldn't hear what was being said? Well the recording devices within my warframe was recording it all and Ordis was transmitting what was being said to me and I must say I never knew someone could do some of the things that was being said.

I continued to watch the spectacle unfold and for a moment I thought this was going to end soon but instead it went on for the next seventeen minutes and I must say, this is fairly entertaining to say the least.

Once it was over and the purple aura around my ears was gone I turned to look at Twilight whose face turned a shade of red-tinted purple while the rest of the girls also has a fair red-tint as well with the exception of Rainbow Dash who is crossing her arms and is wearing a smug smile on her face.

"Rainbow Dash I have to ask you something." I asked the rainbow one as I thought to what she was saying and doing earlier and to my credit it felt like my face was about to burst into flames from how hot it felt.

Maybe I shouldn't be asking this question just yet...maybe wait until after I am no longer burning up.

"And what would that be?"

I thought it over one last time before finally giving into the temptation that is wanting to know what she said earlier means.

"What do you mean by 'the Wonderbolts team ran a train on that mare', wouldn't that be lethal to the person because being ran over by a heavy mechanical construct result in said person's demise?" I said as I thought back to what Rainbow Dash was saying and honestly I must say that having an entire team get on a train to run someone over does not sound fun at all.

Sounds more like something us tenno would do to a lone grineer that is wounded and is stuck on the rail tracks on Eris.

Not that I have done that before mind you...we just ran it over with a trolley and there was a couple dozen of them on the tracks at the time.

The room was silent and for a moment I thought I said something wrong and as it stayed quiet I was about to both question what was it I said that was wrong and also retreat back to my transference pod to wait out whatever fallout that I have unleashed to burn itself out.

Instead all I got was the rainbow and pink mares to break out into a longwinded hysterical laugh as everyone else either shook their heads in shame for their actions or to simply fan themselves to try and cool themselves off.

"Oh great...this is going to be a long day." Twilight said before slapping her forehead against the chalkboard in exasperation.

As soon as everyone got the giggles out of them, stupid questions and even an embarrassing comment or two, we managed to get back to my lesson on pony anatomy and other biology-related topics.

Looking at the chalkboard I saw the diagrams of both genders of Equines, male and female are drawn side-by-side and each one was drawn to represent the average of both genders for all three types of ponies.

First it was them fully naked, nothing was put in place to cover anything up. There was lines pointing to pretty much every corner of their bodies with words detailing what that part of the body is. I read each word and followed the connected line to it, and when it came to the male pony in question I had to look at myself to check if there were any similarities to between us at a later time when I am alone.

First off of the differences is that I was lacking their ears and tail, then I moved onto the lack of a short muzzle like theirs, then onto the lack of nipples that the male equine in the picture is lacking, the different feet...they actually do have hooves for feet. Then I looked at the waist of the male equine and then I...I couldn't help but feel my cheeks heat up at the sight.

Clearly the males of the equine species are different from the males of humanity, the apparent sheath to hide the genitalia is present and the actual shape of it is also different from a humans. I don't know why but just from the shape of it I can only imagine that the bluntness of it is probably not that pleasant for the female if they were to do their reproduction ritual.

And there is the females of the equines, the differences for them when compared to humans is that their...breasts...as the book calls it, is larger than a normal humans along with their hips and thighs, my guess is that it had to be an evolutionary response as to making the birth of their offspring easier seeing how they are a prey species and in their early days they had to produce large numbers of young to offset any that would die from natural feral predators, natural disasters and disease.

Than it came to the shape of the female genitalia that left me...both conflicted and dare I say 'aroused', something that never happened to me before and yet just by looking at it from the diagram that Twilight made, it is leaving me feeling flustered and heated at the exact same time.

IT is clearly unlike the human female's sex organ as the mere shape of it is different. While the human female's is a slit of skin with its lips to be slightly puffy to give it shape, the equines is... it's like a tear drop but upside down, and that the lips are much more pronounced and thicker, probably to reduce the impact when they are mating with their own kind.

Just looking at the two equine genitalia side-by-side and then at the human's, I can tell that the stark differences are there and I am unsure on how to proceed or process this information.

Would it even be possible for cross-species breeding? Is that even a thing here? Is that a possibility to happen between human beings and the native species of this world? What would it look like? Would it be even safe to perform such a deed on this world? Is it even a good idea?

I bet Cephalon Suda and Cephalon Simaris would love this place.

Once it was over my liaison turned around to look at me, a yardstick in her hands and at the moment I was inputting the new information into my Codex.

Right behind me the professor was scribbling down in his notepad, writing down everything that he was seeing and while I would love to not show him how I operate in writing a Codex Entry, I have no choice because I need this for my own research.

For science of course.

"Any other questions before we stop for today?"

"Nope." "No." "Nu uh." "I'm good, if that's okay with you..." "No thanks darling." "Shut up your hurting my head!" "That is all of the questions I have for you for now."

"Good, because I think I need to take a break...between you asking me questions every few minutes and my friends crude remarks. I wonder how Princess Celestia put up with me when I was just a filly..." Twilight said before rubbing her temple with her free hand before placing the yardstick on the chalkboard before finally relaxing by sitting down in a chair she had set aside for herself.

With the session over for the day I retreated back to my room by backtracking and as soon as I did return to my room I looked at my warframe who stood vigil by the door and was looking down at me. With a sigh of relief that I am finally alone in my room I took out my codex scanner and started to transmit everything that I have learned alone with the fresh scans that I took while I was learning from my liaison, hopefully something good comes from these scans and these lessons.

I would be severely disappointed if I find out that everything I just learned today was absolutely worthless to me.

'But if these lessons aren't worthless to me...would anything good come from it? As soon as my ship is repair I would be gone from this world to return to my own, maybe to never return here ever again. And yet why does it hurt when I think that I will never return to this world? I have no attachments with these beings nor do I have any kind of obligations to them, but I still though...'

'Why is this so perplexing! I need to know why this is happening to me now of all times!'

With my mind trying to figure out what is causing me such distress I decided that I might as well lay down and to let it run its course and hopefully by the next morning everything will be made clear and that my path home will be laid out before me.

Laying down on the bed that was given to me I find it to be most comfortable and that it was already making me incredibly lazy and while I would love nothing more than to contemplate my thoughts and to also try and organize everything that has happened so far, I found myself not wanting to do so. Closing my eyes I decided that it might probably be for the best that I get some rest and wait for either them to call me for something or until the sun rises once again the following day.

Hopefully the next day will also be the same day that these ponies brings my ship to this castle for repairs.

And I hope that Ordis doesn't do anything stupid with my absence.
