"Sir, we have detected a fleet of Unkown spacecraft that have just now appeared, using some sort of primitive light speed technology." A Servitor said.
"Send them a vox hail. See if they will respond." Serrus said, his grip on the command throne tightening.
"Link established." The Servitor said. A screen flickered to life, and what looked to be a captain appeared on screen.
"Hello, my name is Admiral Joseph of the Empire. State who you are, what rank, and to whom you side with." The person said. Serrus relaxed a little.
"My name is Captain Serrus. I am captain of this vessel, under service of the Blood Angels Chapter. I serve the Imperium of Mankind. What buisness do you have here? And what is this empire you speak of?" Serrus asked.
"Do you honestly not know of the Empire? What hole have you been living in ?" Admiral Joseph asked.
"I assure you, we have been in no hole. And also, we do not know of your empire. We serve the Emperor of Mankind, and we ask you to explain why you are here." Serrus answered, gripping his chair.
"Very well. We were travelling to one of the rebellion systems to attack, and destroy, the base rumored to be located there. Unfourtunately, our fleet had encountered some unknown space storm of sorts. We then ended up here. Now then, why not explain your reason for being here?" The Admiral asked.
"Fine. My fleet was heading to the Baal system, so we could reinforce our brother Blood Angels there against the attack that is coming their way. While we were traversing the warp, however, we encountered a massive warp storm, and had to translate into real space. And we ended up here. The rest of our fleet are believed to be alive, but had exited the warp before us. We can only pray that they are okay. We have sent messages out to the area around this system, hoping to establish contact with them, and we only hope our message got through." Serrus explained.
"Interesting. We have never heard of this 'Baal' system, nor have we heard of this Imperium that you speak of. For now, we shall not fire upon you, and I hope you will do the same, for your own sake. In the meantime, we shall send down a squadron of soldiers to prepare a small fortification." The Admiral said, then cut the link.
"Who does he think he is? Does he truly believe that his small fleet can take on our ship? We ought to show him our true firepower!" One of the Sensory captains said.
"Calm yourself. He hasn't heard of the Imperium, so he does not know our true power. But, he is also a member of a lost human civilization, so we should attempt to bring them into the Imperium. We shall hold fire, unless they give us reason not to. In the meantime, let us speak to our troop below. We should tell them about this recent change of events. Give me a vox link to the sargeant." Serrus said.
"Yes, my lord. One moment." The vox captain replied.

Ponyville. Time: 3:15 PM Equestrian time.
"What was that weird metal bird thing?" Rainbow asked, floating next to Twilight. Last night, a big, winged metal box had descended into the Everfree forest, making enough noise to wake half of Equestria.
"I don't know, but I think we should get the others and go find out." Twilight replied, and ran off to find the rest of the mane six.
"Good idea." Rainbow said, eager for another adventure.
Later
The mane six had begun to walk through the Everfree forest, keeping a careful eye out for poison joke, or something worse.
"Are you sure that the bird thing flew into here? Because so far there isn't anything. Just plain old Everfree." Rainbow said, kicking a rock around for fun.
"Well, why not go fly and take a look." Twilight replied, slightly irritated.
"Sure thing, Twi!" With that, Rainbow Dash shot up into the air, turning to scout around the vincinity.
"Well, that solves one annoying problem. Let's keep moving girls..." Twilight muttered, and the group trudged on.

Everfree forest, Imperium Forward Operating Base. Time: 4:15 PM Equestrian time
"So, to cut it short, there's another group of humans out there. They are landing somewhere on this continent, and we have been ordered not to fire upon them. Are we clear?" The Captain asked. The squad nodded in agreement.
"Good. Maintain area perimeter observation. We just need to wait until the tech priest finishes establishing the power to the base." The captain barked, and the squad of Blood Angels fanned out to the perimeter. Overnight, the construction crew had demolished a small spot of the forest, and had set up a large building, with the symbol of the Imperial Aquila looking over the land. While the marines were keeping an eye out on the ground, none of them expected an airborne opponent. Just Rainbow Dash's luck To be a pegasus, it seems.

Everfree forest, near Imperium base.
"What did you see?" Twilight asked as Rainbow flew back to the group.
"There were these giant metal guys standing on two legs, holding what looked to be some sort of box with a hole on the side. There was this massive building, with some sort of doubleheaded Eagle symbol strapped onto it. Other than that, nothing. The stuff was over that way." Rainbow pointed with her hoof over to the direction she came from.
"Well, we should probably go back and report to Princess Celestia. Then, we should have the Everfree off limits. We call in the Royal Guard, and with Princess celestia, go meet these things. Let's get a move on." Twilight said, twirling around and heading back to Ponyville.
"Uh, guys? Where's Pinkie?" Rainbow asked. The girls looked around, realizing that their pink coated friend was not present.
"Where could she have gone?" Applejack wondered. "Probably towards the weird building." Rainbow answered, facehoofing herself.
"Pinkie!" Twilight yelled, but the Pink mare was too far to hear it.

"Captain, sir! I just saw some pink... thing run through the woods. Should we follow it?" Brother Arigon's voice asked. "Negative. As long as they stay away from the base, they are of no concern to us." Captain Meridion answered, looking over the building. Arigon nodded, but had been certain that, just before he saw the pink flash, he had heard a voice calling out from the jungle....
