Walking up to the wreckage I whistled at the damage it caused to the surrounding area. From the looks of things, it landed about a kilometer back and then bounced twice, and then came to a sliding stop here. And destroyed MANY city blocks in the process. It's amazing that the inhabitants were able to get out of the way in time. Looking at the ship I began to survey what was left of it. Originally the bridge was connected to the hangar bay. And the hangar bay was connected to engineering and the stairwell leading to the living section. Engineering contained the Fusion Reactor and the WarpDrive. It also contained many of the computer systems responsible for running the different functions of the ship, such as the thruster control module. It also held the AI Core, and the AI Core held Ziggy.

Going off of that, well the entire hangar bay is here. There is a little bit of the floor from the engineering section left here. Walking up to it I fired the suit jetpack to launch me up onto the ledge. Approaching the door I heard a loud clop behind me as the princess landed on the ledge as well. Turning to her I saw the very confused expression she had on her face. "What is it?"

"You can fly?"

Oh, she means the jetpack. "Yeah I can, but only for short bursts. Otherwise, I'd burn up all the fuel and then I'd fall. The reason why that's bad is pretty self-explanatory."

"Oh, that makes sense. Is there anywhere still intact where we can talk?"

"Fortunately yes, The living quarters only really took up the front half of the ship. Mainly to avoid any consequences of sleeping directly next to our power source. So the bedrooms and cafeteria should all still be there. And thanks to backup batteries we should have power." Turning to the door I saw that the panel was glowing blue instead of the blackness that usually indicates no power. "Yep, we got power." Tapping the blue circle on the panel resulted in the door sliding open.

"Woah!"

"What?"

"that door just opened on its own, without magic."

"Uh, yeah?" Wait are they really this primitive?

"That's amazing!"

Hah! imagine if she saw the thing in its entirety. She would lose it! "Hah! you haven't seen anything yet. If only I could show you this thing flying. "

"Oh I would love to see it, but unfortunately it doesn't seem like that's going to happen,

"Unfortunately no. Sorry. Either way, the stairwell to the quarters is this way. Follow me." And with that, I lead her through the massive hangar bay to a door on the right side of the ship. After opening this one I led her into the airlock where I keep the suits.

"What's with all of the empty cabinets?"

"Huh? oh those." She was referring to the empty suit lockers. "Yeah turns out space suits are pretty expensive, so the one I'm wearing is the only one I actually have."

"But what if it's damaged?"

"Then I fix it."

"But what if you cant"

Turning my head to her I gave her the most intense look I could muster, but then I remembered that I was wearing a metal helmet with no glass. I actually look through a camera and a screen to see out of this thing. Instead, I chose to become sterner in my voice, then I continued. "If I can't fix the suit that keeps me alive. Then the results are self-explanatory. I die."

"Oh. Sorry"

"You're fine, follow me." Opting to keep my suit on I took her through the other end of the airlock to the stairwell. And then began climbing. A few stories later we were finally above the hangar and arrived at a door. Opening the door revealed a hallway of other doors with a much larger area at the end of it. This area is the Cafeteria, which we entered. The light was still on so that's a good sign. Going over to the fridge I realized that it was empty, likely because I finished it off long before we, no I crashed down.

"Crap"

"What is it?"

"I'm out of food, Sorry. Don't really have any tea to offer during this talk we're about to have."

"Oh that's fine, it's not like I was expecting any, especially considering the situation you've been put in."

So she went from murderous to apologetic to confused to apologetic again. Ok Fyxe, you got this. It's just first contact with an alien species. And your first time talking to a princess, You've got this right? Yeah!

After a few moments, both she and I were sat opposite each other at a table.

"Ok Princess Cadance, you mentioned you wanted to talk with me. We're at a proper table now so I suggest you shoot your questions now. You know, before I go off to start tearing shit apart to build a base out of it so that I can actually survive."

"Ok, so since it seems like a sore subject right now I won't ask about the circumstances of your arrival, For now, I will stick to questions that we can use to integrate you into our society since it appears your going to be staying with us for a while. We also have to discuss the fact that, tho accidentally. You did destroy many homes belonging to my subjects."

"Ah right. That. Yeah, there isn't a whole lot I can do about that. It's not like I had a whole lot of money to begin with. And I doubt that converts over to whatever currency you use. Which means I got jack shit to pay for new homes with. And I got priorities right now. As for anything you might need to integrate me or whatever, My full name is Nickolas Fire Fyxe. But I usually shorten the Nickolas part to just Nick. I've no idea why my middle name is Fire but it is. I speak 3 different languages and I'm an Engineer, Pilot, Miner, and I guess I could technically be part of the military if I didn't drop out of boot camp in favor of building and flying spaceships. I'm basically a jack of all trades kind of guy. Usually, if I'm asked to do something I can figure out a way to get it done, except for surveying space anomalies apparently. That's the only thing that has made me explode so far."

"Ok, so that's your name, occupation, and you've explained your financial situation. But how old are you?"

"To be entirely honest with you, I've got no idea. The earliest memories I have are like, 27 years ago, and I was an adult. I don't know when my birthday is so I've just been going off of the date I remember, September 29th. And my actual age is currently unknown."

"Oh! why don't you have any earlier memories?"

"I think it's some form of amnesia? I don't really know. All I know is that's about the time the humans found me. And that's when my problems started, Racist fuckers. Hell, they're racist against EACHOTHER! They're the same race for fucksake!"

"So you faced discrimination for not being a human?"

"Basically, they thought I was just another dumbass animal at first. Then I talked and they got really confused. Though they treated me as intelligent, they only did so to a degree. Considered me just another creature for them to tame. The first 12 years of my memories were spent fighting to actually get some fucking recognition and get a proper job. And even now they still hardly listen to any of the shit I tell them. Hell, I told them that my ship wasn't designed to go out surveying a space anomaly but they still fucking sent me. And now look at it! Split in half and crashlanded on another planet that seemingly popped into existence from out of nowhere. Or maybe I'm the one who fucking disappeared and reappeared. I don't fucking know and I don't fucking care. Even if I had the option I wouldn't go back. Fuck those guys."

"Well, That should be all the personal information I need. And I think I can wiggle the system a bit, might even be able to file this under the *acts of chaos* fund we have. It was originally put in place because of discord but since chaotic events tend to happen even without his presence we may be able to squeeze this into it."

"Well, at least that's some good news. Is there anywhere on the edge of the empire I can set up? I'm not gonna need a whole lot of space, just enough to house a refinery, assembler, a few wind turbines and solar panels, and a few batteries. Also a bedroom and cafeteria. but the cafeteria won't need to be as big since it's not intended for a crew of people just one."

"Sure, I'm pretty sure I can set you up with some land on the outskirts, nopony really likes to live that close to the barrier because they might accidentally leave it and enter the snowy mountains. I'll have it marked out with a fence border so that you know what you need to remain inside."

"Well thanks for that, I'm sure you've got things to take care of. I'm gonna start scrapping things down here and filling the truck with parts. I'll walk over to the giant castle-looking thing when I'm loaded up, that way you can point me in the right direction."

"Sounds like a plan mister Fyxe. I'll see you soon."

"See ya later Cadance."

And with that, her horn lit up and her body flashed as she disappeared. "Computer what just happened?"

"Analyzing. From visual records and energy readings, it appears a form of quantum tunneling. Or in simple terms, Teleportation." Well, I guess that makes sense. Welp, better get to work.

On the other side of the country, in Canterlot. A vine poked through the concrete floor of the castle, and a scream filled the air for a split second before it was silenced.

Boy was that confusing to right. I know I've got some errors in there somewhere. If you find them I would be really grateful if you point them out to me! I don't have an editor so this is all raw.
