A starship in Equestria.

Runabout Luna interior, 1020 hours, group/free pov

After the two humans and vulcan packed up their campsite and duckblind they walk up to the cockpit closing both doors finding both princesses waiting on them. All three take their seats with princess Celestia taking the last flanking seat behind the pilot and copilot with Luna sitting on Rikers lap which surprised him she looks at the helm station, she attempts to touch it but riker quickly swats her hand away warning her not to touch it. The white alabaster alicorn looks at the station she's sitting at and attempts to place a hand on it but is interrupted by the vulcan.

"I wouldn't do that your majesty" In a stern but low voice only for her to hear, causing her to jump.

"I'm sorry this 'Runabout' is eons head technologically than Equestria"

"Uh, princess shouldn't you be seated somewhere else like with your bigger sister?" The bearded admiral said surprised with his other human companion just as surprised as he is but with his vulcan companion he just watched without emotion.

She giggles. "Well i want to ride with you, you animal" The indigo alicorn said lustfully not caring about the high ranking officers companions and here older sister.

"Luna come over here and sit with me and let the admiral and his companion pilot this ;runabout; back to the castle without crashing it and killing all of us." The older alabaster alicorn said sighing heavily worried about her younger indigo counterpart.

"Fine" The royal blue star filled mane and tailed sister said with an exasperated sigh getting off the tall officer, walking back to her seated sister and sits on her lap as the runabout takes off and flies to the castle and city of Canterlot. The two sisters squeal as the runabout takes off and flies to the castle.

"How does this thing fly?" The indigo moon goddess said curiously.

"By what we call Impulse Engines, and thrusters."  The tactical officer said matter-of-factually and to the point, not wanting the two sisters wanting to question them even further so they can attempt to build the components or federation technology.

"Your highnesses! Get away from those creatures!" The leader of the blue and gold suited ponies said after landing protectively between the princesses and the starfleet officer's.

"Stand down!" The alabaster sun goddess commanded.

The trio of starfleet officers draw their phasers making sure they are on stun and points them at the suited ponies defensively.

"They aren't going to harm us! They are peaceful group of races making up a federation but will only attack if they are provoked!" The smaller indigo moon goddess said getting in between the suited group of ponies and the officers.

"Get out of the way princess or you'll get hurt in the process!" The pointed eared tactical officer said concerned for Luna's safety.

"Stand down this insistent!" The alabaster alicorn said using her royal canterlot voice causing the trio covering their ears as she does so.

The group of suited ponies relax getting out of their defensive positions. "But we saw..." The orange Pegasus mare tried to say but the sun butted goddess interrupted.

"These creatures are from a federation that is made up of many species called the United Federation of Planets or the UFP for short. They only attack if they are provoked as my sister said. I've already informed the royal guards not to attack them for whatever reason or to interfere with their business." She said with the trio putting their phasers back into their respective holsters getting out of their defensive positions.

"I'm Admiral William T. Riker of the federation starship Titan, representing the interests of the United Federation of Planets and Starfleet. These are my companions Commander Tuvok my chief of security and tactical officer of the Titan. And this is Lieutenant Commander Hawke ships helmsman" He introduced the two crew members to the suited ponies and guards present.

"I'm commander Spit Fire the commander of the Wonderbolts." The orange winged mare said as she went on to introduce the members of the ponies present.

"The three of you will be staying close to us, the three of you will be staying in the guest suite next to Luna's room it has three beds that have been moved out of storage and into the suite" The alabaster alicorn said. With the smaller indigo goddess eyeing admiral Riker intently, lustfully.

"Thank you your highness for the tour and the bed and board. If there's anything you need just let me know." The flag officer said.

"Thank you for your offer, i'll take it into consideration. And there's no need to call me 'your highness' when we're alone. Just call me Celestia or Tia if you want." The lean but busty mare said, giggling a bit. "We better get going we won't take anymore of your time. We do have duties to attend too." The larger white mare said. Starting to walk off to attend to her grueling work ahead of her.

"I guess i'll see you later tonight." The smaller, lean, but just as big breasted mare said lustfully walking into her room to hopefully get some sleep for her to attend to her night duties and hopefully a little fun with the big burly admiral.

The flag officer nodded sheepishly and starts walking into the guest suite with his other companions. "Our stay'll be hell" The tired officer said under his breath, as the trio entered the exotically trimmed and furnished suite, to try and get a little sleep, before they beam back up to the ship to try and help out with any repairs the ship still has.
