Haze, Dragon and Sithjjf all sat around in a bar. It was dark outside, and snowing. They had all met up in New York for christmas and were now sitting on some bar stools drinking together. They were the only three people in the whole bar talking, all the other people were sitting, heads down, staring into their beers and alcohol.

"I may be in America now, but I still spell words right." Haze joked after Sithjjf made a remark. The three gave a short laugh and spoke some more.

After a moment or two a man in a huge coat ran in. He had a rainbow tattooed to his face, so he was part of Bronydom and he was panting a little so he had been running, the guy had a short dark brown beard shaven a bit to show the tattoo which made his face look weird. The man was in his late forties and had denim jeans on.

"Quick!" The stranger said. "Put the news on about Keplar 51!" He added, the waitress quickly put the TV on. It was no secret that humanity had launched another expansion onto Keplar 51, already terraforming Mars and setting up a moon base, well more of a moon city. The TV came on with a flash and the images that were shown was everything any Brony wanted to see.

There had been a team of five sent to Keplar in a terraforming attempt to expand humanities galactic borders. However Haze wouldn't call it and expansion. Mars was just a mining colony. Being slowly torn apart for its resources and Terran profit, and the moon was just a hotel and a huge base complex. Keplar was supposedly being targeted for expansion only for human colonisation, but that is what was said for Mars, and nowadays there are more mining machines then people.

The news broadcast was showing a complete live broadcast of the astronauts landing on Keplar. There was a camera attached to each person and the film was showing one; Martyn Bush. A middle aged man who was one of the most famous brony's of all time for his work in the resurrection of the work of bronies of old. The camera was apparently taped to the side of his helmet and had the words "CAM4" typed at the top of it. There was the shuttle door in front of him and an arm slowly appeared. Dragon muttered something.

"Wow, the most famous Brony of all time being the first man on Keplar. Now give it twenty years and we will be up there." Dragon said. Haze and Sithjjf both looked at their friend in shock and confused feelings.

"Didn't you here, UNOSE declared it to be terraformed for human colonization only."

"Yeah well its what they said about Mars." Sithjjf replied.

"Just watch the damn TV." Haze groaned. Sipping his whiskey.

Rainbow Dash was flying around the sky minding her own business when suddenly there was a strange red dot appear on a cloud in front of her. The Pegasus looked at it in wonder. Floating above the cloud looking at the dot. She inched closer to get a better look at it and to touch it. Then there was a strange woosh sound and a hole in the cloud appeared, Rainbow could see something falling and she dashed after it. She was going super fast, heading straight for the ground following this weird object. A sun ray hit the object and the light reflected into Dashie's eyes and she slowed her flight as her vision was temporarily impaired. When she could finally see again there was a quiet thud as the object hit the ground, the cyan Pegasus went to inspect the object and could just see a small metallic box with a bit of wire attached heading up into the sky. Rainbow Dash, despite her worry, decided to investigate the metal string. She began to flap her wings and gave her neck a little click before she shot up into the Equestrian sky to follow the string.

As she flow Rainbow began to here something, a strange sound, something she had never heard before. Rainbow looked up and saw that the sky was on fire! There was a huge cloud with fire and smoke coming from it falling rapidly. Rainbow shot out of the way and caught sight of something on top of the cloud. It was alien, nothing ever seen on Equestria before. The thing was a fairly large metal circle. Falling to the ground rapidly. Rainbow was unsure as to what to do. Her heart was beating rapidly and she could hear the beats in her ears. Air shot up from the falling device and pushed Rainbow's mane back, messing it up. She shook of any feeling of dazelment and finally decided to fly back down after it. The object flow at incredible speeds and Rainbow had trouble keeping up, only did she fly up when the two got close to the ground, then the object smashed into the ground. And there. It stayed. Rainbow flow to Ponyville as fast as her wings would carry her.

General Travis Grey stood staring at the huge computer screen set up to broadcast news from the expansion planets. The main screen was focusing on Martyn Bush's helmet camera at the moment and had smaller screens for the other astronauts on the left. Travis was a middle aged man with short, army cut brown hair, he had a natural red face approach on him and was a few pounds overweight. He wore his adges showing off all the deeds he had done in various runs for wars and such, the coat he wore was his grandfathers and had a worn green colour to it, battered with the various bullet wholes or burns it had had received over the long time of service. The general had a metal arm, from the shoulder down. It was very human like, a mixture of nanobot technology and robotics. So far the arm still felt a bit stiff but Travis was learning. After a few more moments of staring at the screen, Travis grunted and the man next to him, Commander Leroy Jenkins heard.

Leroy was a slightly younger man, around his late thirties, he had a beard on the verge of growing and also worn numerous badges of valor. Before becoming a commander he had been involved in the Seventh brigade Honour Guard, when in he would protect members of VIP and government officials. The commander wore his trench coat which wasn't as battered as Travis's but still had some damage. Leroy had two fingers missing in his left hand and also had a metal foot. Whilst on patrol he had stepped on a landmine and put his hand down to shield himself from any blast, unfortunately he had been internally affected rather than outside his body. So the commander had needed a lung transplant, major blood transfusion and surgical heart repairing in nanobot experimentation.

"General?" Leroy asked. "Anything the problem?"

"You know what the damn problem is." Travis replied. Pissed.

"Ah, the same old."

"Yes the same old!" Travis shouted, every sound in the room died down. All eyes on the general.

"Those fucking bronies!" He screamed at his commander. "They are God damn everywhere! First world leaders allow them to form their own damn religion and now they will have one of their own to be the first man to step foot on Keplar! They have been around for over one hundred years. Why can't they just die out!" Travis shouted.

"Look, sir, this isn't my fault, the council has spoken that Martyn was the best man for this job therefore he was sent up to be first man. What is it about the bronies you hate sir?"

"Everything." He replied, quieter now. "They are not a real religion and have been corrupting the people with their 'love and tolerate' bullshit for a hundred years. They disrespect God and his creations and have completely taken over, they are a virus, commander. Now excuse me, I have a meeting with the council. Again." The general said. Storming out, everyone was still silent and still, just before he reached the automatic door he turned to everyone.

"Get back to fucking work." He grunted and noise came back into the room as the general left.
