Upon returning to my ship, I question Alyr about the progress on my new body.
"Nearly finished, my King. But sensors also indicate there are at least two other alicorns on this planet." More DNA would improve the accuracy of the DNA sequencing, I should go get samples.
"Bring up a map of the planet. Show our location, as well as the location of these two new alicorns, updated in real-time." The A.I. fires up the holographic projectors, displaying a hologram of the planet. Or at least, what it has mapped so far. Our position is now far from where the one is, but the other appears to be a ways away. "What's the scale?"
"The scale is approximately one centimetre to one thousand kilometres. Making this planet about fifteen thousand kilometres in diameter. Making it slightly smaller than Taleda, and slightly bigger than Earth." Plenty of land then.
"Are there any locations I can hide my equipment?" The map starts lighting up in various places, presumably locations that are good for hiding. I notice there is not one in the forest I just came from.
"Quite a few, many of them are nearby. The top of the mountain that city is resting on is ideal. I have not observed any intelligent beings going up there. Though that is only based on the ponies being sapient, but not much else has gone up there. A few birds, presumably eagles, but not much more than that. There is a large desert/badlands region to the southeast that is not populated by ponies. But the ponies do go in there occasionally. There are mountains to the far north of here that are absolutely frigid, and as such, are not inhabited. Except for one city, and that city appears to be maintaining a perpetual summer in the surrounding area. There are other locations, but they are all quite far from here." The mountaintop seems to be the best place, as it appears to also be in the centre of this country.
"I am going to get a closer look at the mountain. It should work, but I want to ensure that it is as abandoned as you say. We have only been here a little over a day so far." But first, sleep. I could go without, but that would mean using magic to do what sleeping does, so I sleep.
