"You mean you knew all along?! Why didn't you tell me?"

"We must choose between a world of fear and a world of progress. We cannot stand by and do nothing while dangers gather. We must stand up for our security and for the permanent rights and the hopes of mankind."

[UN-IHSA Classified]

As the rumbling stopped, late night scientists quickly tracked the source, the rumbling came from the Pacific Ocean. One of the scientists, named Johnson Lew talked to his coworkers about this after he got the exact numbers on the scale of the shock. He entered a clean room with white walls and checkered tiles. He approached a meeting desk with a logo imprinted on the center. The logo is the UN-IHSA division. Johnson sat down in the leather chair and rubbed his temples.

“Mr. Lew,” one of the scientists began, “Have you pinpointed the source?”

“According to this,” Johnson replied, “The coordinates projected to this location, the middle of the Pacific.”

Another scientist, named Rory added on, “After putting in the coordinates into the satellite, it has shown us something extraordinary.”

He picked up a folder that had files just recently printed. One by one, he took out three pictures.

“Satellites picked up this,” Rory stated while holding a picture.

The other scientists gazed in awe as he showed the pictures of a pink barrier just sitting in the middle of the sea.

The first scientist then asked, “Do others know about this?”

Johnson shook his head and spoke, “The UN is waiting for our answer.”

Johnson looked around and saw that the other scientists had the faces of something that is unbelievable.

“They also want to know if it may be a threat to humanity and Earth,” he finally concluded.

Location: EARTH – UN New York Assembly Hall

Date: December 22, 2022

Time: 6:00 A.M. (Local Time)

[UN/Humanity/IHSA Meeting]

In the UN building, there is a frenzy of people running around, bumping into each other, and clumsily dropping things. The arrival of Equestria on Earth has caused mass confusion, fear, and madness over the course of the morning. The censored press and pictures of the barrier were not released to the public, as groups of stationed warships were around 50 KMs away from the barrier. Most of the warships were the new Defender-class destroyers that consisted of UN-US conjoined branches. Because of this cautionary blockade, no press is able to get pictures of the new landmass. Ships and passenger aircraft were directed in travel patterns to detour the barrier. The constructed blockade is to ensure the safety of humanity and the alliance.

The UN Assembly Hall had many representatives from all countries. Humanity did not know much about the barrier except from satellite images and measurements showing it is growing and advancing slowly. All communications with the barrier have failed. Due to this, scientists concluded that the barrier is not from this world. Because of these reasons, humanity is afraid of what may or may not happen.

Two representatives were debating on the barrier. One is an Australian representative, and the other is a United States representative.

“The barrier arrived at twelve-o-clock A.M. at Australian time,” the Australian representative spoke.

“We have put a blockade of US and UN-IHSA warships around the barrier,” the US representative replied.

A China representative stood up quickly and spoke, “The arrival of the barrier and landmass caused mass panic on civilians and the press is already spreading rumors.”

“I suggest we evacuate the major cities with the IHSA starships and fire on the landmass with the IHSA orbital space cannon as we already discovered that nothing from our world can pass through it,” a North Korean representative suggested unexpectedly.

Other representatives looked at the representative in concern.

“I believe you are rushing on a military decision,” a Filipino representative quickly replied.

“We must secure this planet and humanity,” the NK representative firmly said clinging to his decision. He then continued, “The orbital cannon is constructed to ensure the safety of the alliance and humanity, not to mention this planet.”

“We do not know if this is a threat to our planet as of yet, and what if it comes in peace?” the US representative started to explain, “If it is, then this world will indeed stand against this enemy and-”

A large noise interrupted the representative.

*Flash, whirr…*

*Flash, whirr…*

*Flash, whirr…*

There is a flash of light on the main empty speaker’s podium. All the humans in the room looked towards the source on the podium. A tall and god-like form appeared. The figure had long white wings and a long horn. The coat is a color of white and a wavy rainbow mane formed on the top and for a tail. Four hooves appeared to hold it up. A sun symbol seemed to be near its back. It is an alicorn. A crown and regalia formed on the body.

“Impossible, alicorns are misbelieved mythologies,” a Canadian representative whispered.

All the news attention and the press that is towards the meeting were towards the attention of the new figure. Two more figures appeared and flanked the larger Alicorn. They only had wings, which classified them as pegasi and were shorter than the alicorn. However, they were all taller than a human is. The two other figures which appeared to be similar in colors had golden armor that looked like it is based on roman armor only that it is for ponies to wear. They seemed to be the taller figure’s guards.

The glow faded and the three new figures looked around. The guard left of the alicorn spoke in a firm leading voice.

“Representing the Royal Crown of Equestria, Princess Celestia,” the guard addressed.

Two UN guards wearing UN soldier uniforms had a firm grip on their rifles.

The taller alicorn spoke with a calm but leading voice to introduce her more, “I am Princess Celestia, and I come in peace for my country, and the better future of human kind.”

A UN assembly member spoke up to offer their welcome, “Princess Celestia, we are humanity, and welcome to Earth.”

Hours went on and both species came to learn about each other. The princess learned that there is a similar species of horses that were already on Earth. However, the humans were surprised on what the princess knew. Apparently, the princess already knew most about humanity and the history. They also talked about Equestria, and the difference in government. Humans learned many common politics and Equestria’s princess learned of humanities current, but minimal, world problems. When humanity finally asked how they knew so much already about them, the princess replied with a statement that would be in the headlines.

”We have watched you…”

Location: EARTH – US San Diego Military Base

Date: December 22, 2022

Time: 11:00 A.M. (Local Time)

[UN/Humanity/US Mobilization]

At a US military base in San Diego, personnel were training, eating in the mess hall, or just watching TV. It is supposed to be a quiet week. A captain named Hillary Leanne, who just graduated from an officer academy, is spending his morning by eating in the mess hall with his squad. He is a built average soldier with knowledge on officer protocols. He has brown hair, a tan skin, and brown eyes. He has only been in service for a month and successfully passed his training mates by receiving an officer position. His squad consisted of two sergeants, and five corporals. All of them were stationed in San Diego as the tenth squad for the first company. He quietly ate hash browns and French toast while watching a hologram with a UN broadcast.

The UN broadcasted meeting is around the world, in every human nation, in multiple languages depending on the preference. Hillary and his squad listened intently as the princess is leading the conversation after the opening statements of a possible peace recognition between humanity and Equestria. This event marked in history as the First Contact for years to come.

”Equestrian ponies can live up to five-hundred years, and can fly or use magic,” Celestia stated in an alluring voice, “We are stronger than humans and have successfully stopped many problems on our planet peacefully with friendship instead of war, violence, corruption, or greed like this one.”

She then levitated a vial on the speaker podium. It is purple in texture.

“This serum, or potion, is a ponification magical chemical and it will change humanity forever,” she spoke with a calm smile.

“How will it change humanity?” a UN representative asked.

“It will rid your corruption and help unite you,” the princess stated bluntly causing a small stir in the room.

“Excuse me but-,” the representative started to speak but is interrupted by the princess.

“There is more you do not know about this potion and if you give me permission to build a center of testing called a ‘Conversion Bureau’, I can show you it is safe and better for humanity…”

Hillary wondered many things in his mind. One thing stood out. The week is going to be a crazy one. However, as much as the princess spoke, she seemed not to know much about humanities politics.

”Passing the barrier is only possible if you are a pony, and if anything touches it,” the princess began speaking but lowered her head, “It will die instantly unfortunately.”

“Why is it expanding?” a UN representative asked.

“The barrier is expanding to ensure the country of Equestria is safe,” the Solar Princess stated.

Location: EQUESTRIA – Ponyville

Date: December 22, 2022 (Earth Date)

Time: 11:00 A.M. (Earth Time, Local Time)

In the buzzing town of Ponyville, the sky of clouds is replaced with a pinkish glowing field indicating the barrier. At a certain shop, Sugar Cube Corner, a pink earth mare with a pinker puffy mane with three balloons for a cutie mark, known as The Element of Laughter, is handing a box of green minty cupcakes to a different mare with three candies for a cutie mark.

“Here you go Bon Bon!” the excited pink mare exclaimed while jumping with a smile.

“Thank you Pinkie Pie,” Bon Bon replied, “Lyra will love them.”

Pinkie’s eyes grew as bit as saucers and her smile widen.

“Lyra is the one with the humans and hand-,” Pinkie started but is interrupted by an obviously annoyed Bon Bon.

“Yes she is and she has been hyper ever since Equestria arrived on this planet full of these humans,” Bon Bon stated and continued, “And being said that, her obsession is something that is hard for me to understand and live with but I love her so much.”

With that, Bon Bon left after paying Pinkie. She quickly trotted out and went towards the path of her and Lyra’s home. When she arrived at her house, she set the cupcakes down and opened the door. She went inside with the cupcakes and set the box down on a wooden table with clean cloths. The house is very clean and had rugs for most of the wooden floors. The walls were colored pastel and a fireplace with a mantle adorned the living room. There were pictures of drawings of humans obviously made by Lyra on the mantle of the fireplace. As she yawned, a minty blur slammed into her. The startled mare is tackled down on the ground. Lyra smiled at her while being up on top of her. Her mare friend has a big smile.

“Humans Bon Bon~~~!” Lyra squealed.

“Lyra…” Bon Bon began with a calm voice.

“I want to bring one and you and I can have fun in bed with him if you know what I mean,” Lyra whispered in her ear.

Immediately, Bon Bon’s face turned red.

“Lyra!” she sternly shouted.

Lyra just giggled at how her love is shy about their relationship. They were after all a couple.

Location: EARTH

Date: December 23, 2022 – 2023

[Equestria Project: CB]

Princess Celestia and the Ministry of Magic with cooperation of human scientists developed the Conversion Bureau. Equestrian press is censored from the ponies. Some ponies from Equestria started live with humans. However, human rights were not applied to ponies. The CB project would change this. The serum is a potion that is designed to change the DNA of a specific organism by using RNA transcription and a magical base. The organism is then transformed by a random chance into an earth, pegasus, or unicorn pony.

The known side effects would not show until it would be too late. After the subject became ‘ponified’, it classified as a ‘new foal’. They were able to exit and enter the barrier. The serum is able to rid any damages of the human body and fully convert them to ponies. Twilight Sparkle led the Ministry of Magic. She would be the one to unknowingly commit xenocide in the years to come.

Location: EARTH – Honolulu, Hawaii CB Harmony

Date: March 26, 2023

[Equestria Project: CB]

While Lyra became the official Human-Equestrian Ambassador, the first CB site is set up in Honolulu in Hawaii. It is named Harmony. Construction is completed quickly with human machines that amazed ponies and magic that amazed humans. Together, they completed the CB in just under three months. The building had a parking lot with one hundred spaces. The building complex is about one mile wide and one to one-third mild in length. The complex had three stories. The first is a welcome center where they would teach humans about the conversion process. The next floor is the conversion floor, which consisted of waiting rooms and conversion rooms. Finally, the third floor had administrative offices. The building has mounted Equestrian and UN-IHSA flags on the top. Royal Guards and IHSA troops guarded the building on each floor. Three days from the 26th, the first test on human conversion would happen and change history forever. The first conversion volunteer is a human named John Dylan Clark, a UN-IHSA officer.
