The 10 ponies, a zebra and a baby dragon appeared at the transporter pad. Picard looked at the caramel unicorn with the strange apparatus on his eyes.
“Geordi, give them a tour of the ship. Worf, Beverly and Data, meet me, Will and counselor Troi on the conference lounge.”
The five crewmembers of the Enterprise made their way to the lounge, leaving 6 ponies and a baby dragon alone with Geordi.
“Okay. Where do you guys want to...” He was interrupted by what sounded like a burp. They all looked at the baby dragon, which now had a letter on his hands. “That wasn’t there before.”
“Finally! An answer from the princess!” Twilight opened the scroll.
My dearest, most faithful student, Twilight.
I am truly sorry for the delay. But as soon as I got your letter, something incredible happened: Discord appeared.
And even more fantastic: we had a pleasant conversation!
Apparently, Discord is a creature from another universe called Q. He came to equestria only to have fun. Now that I think about it, it explains a lot of things, like the fact that during his reign of chaos, nopony was killed and he only did things for a laugh.
He also said he brought a friend of his and that, while we talk, he is already with you. I look forward to meeting Picard.
Your Princess and teacher,
Celestia
“Well, that explains the delay.”
“If you don’t mind me asking, where did that letter come from? It wasn’t beamed aboard with you.” Geordi asked
“Spike is magically connected to Princess Celestia. When she burns the letter; he burps it out his dragon fire.” Twilight explained to Geordi.
He raised an eyebrow. For him, it must have been some kind of psychic manipulation of matter. But he let it be.
“Okay. Where do you want to go first?”
“How ‘bout you explain what in tarnation is that thing on your face?” Applejack said, pointing at Geordi’s VISOR.
“It’s my VISOR, I need I to see.” He took it off, revealing two blank eyes. The ponies gasped in shock and Spike almost chocked on his own tongue. Fluttershy was the first one to react.
“Oh my Celestia! How did this happen?”
“I was born blind. I got my first VISOR when I was 5, but I still don’t see like everyone else.”
“I am assuming it works based on technology as everything else on your universe. How does it make it possible to you to see?” The purple unicorn asked, intrigued.
“Well…” He got he’s VISOR back on his face. “It captures light and other wavelengths of the electro-magnetic spectrum, turns it into an electric impulse and sends it to my brain.”
“A simple and elegant solution. And what is this machine that you used to bring us aboard?” Twilight said.
Before Geordi could answer, a pink pony shouted.
“Silly filly! Don’t you see that it is a teleporter?”
“How do you know that?” Twilight asked.
“I have one at home!”
The seven ponies present dropped their jaws, and Spike almost chocked on his own tongue, again.
“YOU WHAT?”
“It’s not this advanced though, so I mostly use it to make deliveries and to get the filling inside the cupcakes without having to cut them.”
Everyone on the room was still in a state of shock, until Twilight managed to ask the 1 million bits question.
“Pinkie, HOW in Celestia’s name did you build a teleporter?”
“Wasn’t that hard to get the memory crystals to record the molecular pattern, and was easy to find gold enough to do the wiring. The hard part was building a molecular imaging scanner from scratch and an annular confinement beam to avoid signal degradation!” Pinkie happily said, as if such terms were the most common of words.
“Pinkie, how come you design and built a teleporter from scratch on a place that barely have computers?” Geordi asked. Twilight answered.
“Don’t even try to understand, you will lose your mind in the process. Say, is there somewhere we can go to have a glass of water? I am very thirsty.”
“Let’s go to the ten forward, I am sure Guinan will like to meet you all.”

The three fillies where in front of the library.
“Twilight! Are you there?” Apple Bloom asked. No answer he three fillies went inside the library. There were a few books on a corner, a white rabbit in the middle of them.
“Angel? What are you doing here?” Sweetie Belle asked.
Angel immediately got himself in front of the three fillies and started to mimic.
“Ok, so, seven ponies?” Scootaloo said. He nodded and made a continue motion with his right pawn. “And a dragon? You mean the girls and Spike?” The rabbit gave the Pegasus a thumb up. “But who was the seventh pony?
The rabbit thought and made a square motion with his hand.
“A colt?” Apple Bloom said, Angel nodded his head. Then made a few more quick motions.
“Four more ponies came?” Sweetie Belle asked, Angel shook his head negatively and raised three fingers in one hand and one finger in another. “Three ponies and someone else? Was it a zebra stallion?” Angel nodded.
“It must have been the same ponies we saw earlier!” Scootaloo said, with confidence on her voice. “What happened next?” Angel moved his mouth up and down. “They talked, then?”
Angel scratched his head. This next bit would be tricky to explain. He thought for a couple of seconds and an idea came to him. He grabbed an empty plate and headed outside.
“What is he up to?” Sweetie belle asked.
“Ah have no idea!” Apple Bloom answered. The rabbit came back with some dirt on the plate.
“What.” Scootaloo simply didn’t knew what this meant.
The white bunny removed some of the dirt and started to do some drawing, and then he showed to the crusaders, it was the drawing of a pony.
“Okay, ah still don’t get it.”
Angel started to make a buzzing sound with his mouth and shake the plate. When he stopped, there was no more pony.
“YOU MEAN THEY DISSAPEARDED?”
Before Angel could try to say his opinion, a slap sound was heard, the fillies and bunny looked to Apple Bloom, who had her hoof on her forehead.
“I am so dumb! I must be the dumbest mare in all of Equestria! How could I’ve not seen?”
“What are you talking about Apple Bloom?”
“Come with me! Angel?” She lowered herself, and the white rabbit climbed on her back. They were now heading to Sugarcube Corner.
