“We are explorers from far away. We came to make friendly contact with Equestria’s ponies… and it went badly. Very badly. But all that is irrelevant, Princess. Right now, the most important thing is that all our lives are at risk. The ponies I represent… we can’t leave Equus any more than you can. We are slaves to Harmony like you are. We want everypony to be free. But to do that, we need your help.”
