Aurthur visits Equestria

The List And Some Welding

Waking up from very restful sleep, I head over to my bag to get some sausages. Eating three of them, I also go over what I need to do. Step one, I need to find the necessary materials to repair the wormhole generator on my ship. While I could use magic to make a large enough portal, I am not certain where this universe is in relation to mine, so it may use a truly enormous amount of power that I might need to draw from the magical plane. I don't want to do that, as drawing on my connection is very physically draining, so I might be able to open the portal, but I may not be able to go through. There is also the minor point of I want to learn the magic discipline here. It is similar to mine, but I want to make sure.

Step two, if I can, I want to learn as much about this world as possible, three sapient species on the same planet is nearly unheard of.

Step three, I will need to leave before they find me, either the sapient species here, or him. I do not want to expose these ponies to that kind of evil.

Satisfied with my list, I ask Alyr if he has found any of the materials I need.

"Yes, but most of them are either in structures that are in use, or in mines that the ponies have made. There are a few deposits scattered over the planet, what I have scanned anyway, but none of them are nearby. Also, under a more intense diagnostic, the plasma thrusters just seem to be warped and melted, nothing is missing, it just needs to be re-welded in to the proper position."

I can do that, plus I could see how this body responds to Elemental Magic, rather than High Magic.

Leaving the confines of the ship, I take a little stroll around the field. Deciding there is no better time than the present, I take a bite of some grass. Bitter, but nourishing. It would take an awful lot of grass to get the amount of stuff I need, but it could be done.

Trotting back to my ship, I take a good look at the plasma thrusters. Located on the rear of the ship, there are only two of them, housed in metal cylinders on either side of the central compartments. I do see that the damage is only superficial, and needs just a little welding and re-forming of the nozzles. Peering deeper, I see that the magnets are fine, seems the nozzles protected them, and their magnetic field.

Calling on my fire power, I push mana into the misshapen nozzles, seeing it melt, I then use solidified mana to form the mold, pushing the molten metal back into place. Once it is in the right shape, I pull the heat out of the metal, causing it to solidify. Once it is solid, I remove my mana mold from it and go do the same process on the other side. When that is finished, I go inside and find the crystals that had fallen out of the wormhole generator earlier. Placing them back in their respective locations on the inside of the rings, and I also remove the damaged energy beam generators.

Pulling all three of them open, I re-attach all the loose wires, remove the melted computer, and place the two that are now repaired back into the ring section. The third, however, is going to take a bit more work. With the melted computer, I can't just reform it, the Allotropic elements in it have come out of Allotropic form, and have mingled with the rest of the material. This could be refined, but I don't have the equipment for it, nor can I get the necessary equipment through my portable generator. I have a device that can make a new one, but it can only refine ores, not this.

Need to find some copper ore, and fluorine and carbon to make Teflon.

This says plural and this sounds singular.
Also three sapient life-forms should be species or races, or it's like saying three individuals.
Only emphasising the 'him' as I guess it's not Discord the way you say it and something else this way comes!

Sorry if you don't get it, but that is actually a reference that has a very deep meaning. Google knows if you want to.

Where is that? I can't find it.
