"WHAT IN TARTARUS WAS THAT!!!" The one and only Blueblood yelled, startled at Logos'es sudden appearance/disappearance.

"Hmm? oh, right... umm that was an Meta-ized AI."

POP and suddenly Twilight had a notebook and pencil in her hands, "AI, what does the A stand for?"

"Artificial- (Twilight was about to ask another question) -Intelligence, and any other AI related data is unfortunately classified for low level colony worlds."

"What if we take you're tech?" Blueblood asked moments earlier the room got deathly silent. Then Talon slowly rose to be stopped by Arrows arm gently pulling him back down into his seat as inquisitor rose from his seat and walked out of the room.

"BLUEBLOOD!!!" everyone except for the two ATLs yelled.

"What?"

"Blueblood yo-"

"No its fine, few first contact situations happen like this. We will try to forget this as long he never mentions it again."

"But we can receive help from you." Celestia compromised

"... we can only do nothing or give you a jump start with one small draw back."

"And it is?"

"Sorry, I cant say, but the Inquisitor can and does have the power to do something." Arrow said stressing the I, and after a few minutes of silence the ATLs both got up and wen out the door. When they left Twilight leaned over to her teacher and said,

"What if we do that while they are away?"

"What?"

"Take some of their tech while they aren't looking."

"Twil-"

"Auntie, I already have scientists ready to leave at my command."

"(Sigh) as long as they don't find out, I'll keep them here but only the scientists can leave at night so we don't draw any more suspicion." Then Celestia and both Luna teleport to where they put their vehicle to see the the Inquisitor, Talon, and Arrow arguing with both Talon and Arrow on one side and Inquisitor on the other.

"-help them and they can help us."

"Arrow, I said no, we need to fix our warp drive and get off this rock."

"They can help us even if they don't have the metals... they can also bring in more-"

"TALON! I said NO, they look like a pacifist planet and IT will destroy them, and I highly doubt they do not have the specific type metal."

"Sir what if there are... origin artifacts on this planet."

"Logos, how long have they been there?" Inquisitor questioned without turning around while the two others simply turned their heads.

"Why didn't you tell us?"

<... BYE> and with that Logos vanished back into the Inquisitor's armor.

"What do you need?"

Then Celestia started by, "We wold like for you to stay here for the night and talk about you're... advancement agreement."

"Arrow... you told them?"

"It's for the best."

"(Sigh) I need time to think... and if it is accepted, anything they do wrong its on you, clear?" Arrow then threw a salute and said.

"Yes sir, thanks for ac-"

"That's if I say yes. (looks at the princesses) It would be an honor to dine with a princess." Then the Inquisitor walked away and after a few minutes the princesses looked at Arrow as Talon walked off,

"What's his deal?"

"(Sigh) long story." Arrow then waked off.

(3 hours later, Canterlot castle, 3rd person)

Arrow and Talon were walking down the endless hallways with four 'escorts' following them.

"... Hey Arrow, where is Fox?" At this the guards slightly raise their heads to attention

"Around... and we're on a (quote fingers) 'Diplomatic Mission' so refrain from using his old 'call name.'"

"Oh, right. so what is this meeting about?"

"Probably about the... 'advancement program' to see if they can advance their tech."

"Ha, I hope this doesn't into the Strota colony incident."

"Really? I heard about it but never got around to reading the file."

"Yeah... poor guys, heard that a team of us and their fleet had to be pulled from the front lines to help defuse the problem 'Diplomatically' with a 'Burner' ship in orbit."

"Yeah hopefully that doesn't happen aaand were here." Arrow said as they arrived at the giant doors leading into the dining hall.

"Hey Arrow, look at the doors, their detailed."

"Hmm, yeah you're right, they are decorated"

"Why are you admiring the doors?" one of the escort guards asked.

"Because where my brothers and I come from, people just care for functionality and not color and extravagant styles."

".....Oh"

"Well time to go in," and with that Arrow walked forward to have the doors pulled open to reveal the four princesses, two princes, and six elements already there chatting until they noticed the two brothers in the doorway.

"Greetings, take a seat." the Solar princess said.

"And where is the... Inquisitor?" asked the Lunar princess which caused Arrow and Talon to look at each other before Arrow replied,

"Arou-"

"Sorry I'm late." the Inquisitor said appearing in the doorway and taking a seat near his brothers.

"Ahh nice to see you Inquisitor." Celestia said nodding.

"So what do you want, because you're trying to keep us here for a reason... but what?" The Inquisitor questioned standing up with both hands on the table as the guards rushed towards him with spears leveled around him as Arrow and Talon merely kept on sitting looking at the guards. Until Celestia raised a hand calling the guards off and said,

"You're right, Arrow told me about a... advancement agreement or am I mistaken in there being one?"

".....Yes... you're right, There is a technological advancement protocol for... technology lacking inhabited worlds, but does not come for free and I still need time to think about it."

"Will it hurt to go into detail in what this advancement program will give us?" Twilight asked

"... Arrow, you know the most of it."

"Just as much as you, sir."

"You're idea, you're explanation."

"(Sigh)... right... so the progr-" Arrow tried to say before food was placed in front of them causing the ATLs to look at the locals quizzically. "Umm, Why?" Arrow asked as the others minus his brothers began eating.

Celestia then looked up at them and smiled, "What, we can' talk about this over dinner?" causing the ATLs to look at each other before Talon shrugging and hitting a clasp on his helmet causing steam to hiss out before reaching up for his helmet and taking it off revealing his face. With square build, a tan color, brown hair that was combed back with blue eyes looking thirty years. Then following his example Arrow did the same to his helmet for them to see a sharp, pale angled face with dirt blonde short cut hair, green eye with and cybernetic implant where the 'eye' was colored green. They both looked at the Inquisitor until all eyes in the room were focused on him until he just stared back at them with his helmet on not backing down.

"So... about this Advancement program details..." Celestia said.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
(Current time, Ponyville- 'Dark Knight's resting spot, 3rd person)

It was silent in Ponville making it perfect for the scientist and guards under orders to confiscate any weapons from the ship. When they were within fifty yards a console on the bridge lit up and Logos apperaed on the Console looking at the scientists and guards as they neared the ship.

Logos said with a smile as the scientist group approached the door.

"Well this is easy" as one of the lab coats pushed a button on the door opening it and walking forward into the ship... only for the vents to turn on and push him out of the ship as the blast doors closed and sealed saying,

"..... Well... Buck." the lead scientist said not noticing a camera looking at them with a green light until the light vanished at Logos went back to the castle.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
(Current time, Cantelot- Dining room, 3rd person)

And that's the basic advancement progra-" Arrow tried finishing before Logos appeared on the table in front of the Inquisitor.

Logos said

"And you have proof of this?" A nervous poker faced Celestia asked

<. . . YES> Logos said as live video feed of the scientist group was put up in front of everyone at the table, and at this it caused all three of the ATLs helmets on to stand up and the red one to slam his hands on the table hard enough to crack it.

"Explain..."
