As Sweetie Drops closes the doors to the Presidential Office, Lyra hides behind a beam as she prepares herself before confronting the human. Lyra: *Whispers to self* "Okay, Lyra, don't take 'no' for an answer... 'Look, I have some questions for you and I am not leaving this planet until they're answered.' Yeah, that's good..." Lyra dashes out from the beam in hopes of surprising the human, but Sweetie Drops is somehow nowhere to be found. As Lyra slowly and cautiously trots forward, Sweetie Drops stealthily catches Lyra off-guard from behind and covers her mouth. Sweetie Drops: *whispers to Lyra's ear* "I have some questions for you, and y

 As the human/pony convoy finish re-entering Earth’s atmosphere and fly to their destination, Lyra prattles on through her excitement about how similar pony and human intelligence are so similar. Lavender: “Somepony’s in a good mood.” Axe: “Like a filly in Hearth’s Warming.” Lavender: “… Commander… There wasn’t supposed to be life over here. This changes everything--” Axe: *interrupts* “This changes nothing.” Lyra: *still excitingly blabbing* “… and then I said to her ‘with oatmeal’! Take that, Mayor Mare!” As Lyra finishes

 The expedition’s ponies are surrounded by what appear to be two-legged white astronauts with advanced guns. The lead astronaut suddenly lowers her weapon. Astronaut: “Everyone, hold your fire! They appear to be friendly! You. You can speak, can’t you?” Derpy: *whispers to Lyra* “I think it’s talking to you…” Astronaut: “Yes, you. The green one. You can speak, can’t you?” Lyra: “Uh… Yes. We… can speak… the same language… apparently. Here, let me… let me give you a life support spell, so you can.. um… remove your helmet… thingy

Lyra is unconscious and alone deep within the dark caves of the gray celestial body the convoy crash-landed on. She begins to wake up and hear voices as a couple of lights illuminate on her. Lyra becomes fully conscious as she notices alien life forms in white suits and helmets. She gasps. ???: “What do you think it- Hey, it’s awake!” Lyra is astonished and terrified. ???: “Ma’am, look!

 The convoy camp rests overnight on the red planet, and everypony is sound asleep. Unbeknownst to the sleeping ponies, a mysterious artificial droid with wheels and solar panels surveys the camp. The droid stops by Lyra’s luggage and examines each item within by using its claws. The droid finds Lyra’s picture with her grandmother and analyzes it closely. Lyra wakes up drowsy and sluggishly, and the droid drops the portrait back into the luggage, immediately retreating out of sight. Lyra uses her horn to light her way as she heads to the bathroom. AJ: *sleeping* “… zzzz… Buck you, I can eat all these apples…

The convoy lands on the red planet and set a campfire within their huge magical life-supporting area. A dinner bell rings loudly. Aj: “COME AN’ GET IIIT~!!!” Applejack goes around serving food. AJ: “Fer an appetizer…”     *gives to Twilight* “Apple Salad,”     *gives to Rainbow* “Apple Muffins,”     *gives to Derpy* “An’ yer Apple Cider.” Dashie and Derpy look at each other’s foods. Derpy: “I wanted the Apple Muffins…--” RD: “Trade ya!!” Derpy and Dashie make the exchange as Applejack heads to Lyra, who is sitting by
