Wake up, eat some more sausages, and I'm ready to face the day. Grabbing my pack up again, I head out the outer door and prepare to teleport over to the mountaintop.

Winking into existence above the mountain, I land, and extend my magical senses. I find nothing of note. The two alicorns are in the city below, I will just need a magic distortion field to mask my aura. Preparing to reform the rock around me. I imagine what my tower will look like, as well as reaching into the earth for the energies needed and to feel the interior of the mountain. I find a small cave system within the peak, not big enough, but I can enlarge it. The only entrance into it is also too small to fit my ship through, will need to widen it. 

Finding a large ley-line, I tap into it, pulling the energy I need. Forming the rock to my image, I pull rock out of the cave, placing and attaching it to lower on the mountain. After several minutes of intense concentration, I am satisfied with my work. Hmm, actually feeling tired after that, but it's not everyday that I reform a mountaintop into what I want.

Floating down to the entrance, I prepare to teleport my ship here. Pulling out the circle runes, I lay them all in a circle and step into it. Pulling out my wormhole rune, using it because I don't usually teleport something this big, using the rune will make it take less effort on my part, I start feeding mana into the Allotropic Silicon. The portal opens, ship comes through, I close the portal. I then search around and in the ship, ensuring nothing was forgotten. Finding everything is where it was, I set about assembling the consciousness transference device along one of the walls.

"Alyr, is the alicorn body ready?"

"Yes, but I thought you wanted to get samples of the other two alicorns before finalizing it?"

"I did, I shall go do that now. But first, I should construct an artificial node, so I can recharge when I return." And so, I divert a few ley-lines to make a new node right under my cave. I then make sensor triggered Mage lights powered by the node, as well as placing many protections, shield, and a magic distortion field. I also add a heater. Need to keep warm, after all.
