[b]Message to the AIF[/b] "We have done nothing to wrong them! From what we have managed to figure out a group of the remaining Aetherii left the Triarians because the believed that they would never achieve "ascension". They wanted to come to us and guide us. They Triarii were angered by this and destroyed them, and believe us to be the cause! They want to kill us for something we aren't responsible for! We have had no contact with the Aetherii since they went to the Triarians. They will destroy us merely because some of there own wanted to come and join us. This aggression is unwarranted, and they do not seek a peaceful solution. Help us." [b]Diplomacy[/b] The Equestrians have begun rapidly attempting to find other species to meet.
