The quest for knowledge never stops, and finding out what there is to find out can be an adventure in itself when you're with a pseudo-crazy captain.

On a desolate road in Ponyville, sparks start to form in thin air, which multiply by each second until suddenly, three ponies appear from the sparks.
Okay, so we should be in Ponyville and Canterlot should be right ... there! Garlude points her hoof up, pointing straight at Canterlot in the distance. Wow, you got it down perfectly now Garlude, Satori looks at Canterlot in the distance that Garlude is pointing at. ... No! The time travel device is still only 99,999% accurate, thats still not nearly perfect enough!

Vixen tilted her head looking a bit confused.It seems pretty fine to me, there doesn't seem to be any imperfections, besides that you got it all perfect with direction. Vixen smiled a bit wondering how Canterlot is like as she thought in her own mind Hmm I wonder whats in Canterlot, hmm maybe there are gems there. .but there is probably no time for that.

a brown and white earth pony starts suddenly at the sudden appearance of the three ponies and his homemade, steampunked hover trolley skids to the side as he releases the steering levers, the strange vessel letting out a slight shierk as he grabs the levers and the entire thing grinds to a halt three paces from the ponies, letting out a small scream as it releases steam and almost bursts a gasket and Briarthorn kicks open the door what they hay! yall just came out of nowhere! a device on his neck beeps and extends a screenhmm, temporal displacement....YOU ARE TIME TRAVELERS! must use bad tech though.....too much displacement of the time stream, means you wont arrive on coordinates, youll be off. i have prefected my time device to set me at least one inch from the target area. he kicks a lever and his trolley lets out a hissing groan and settles to the ground, ticking slightly

0,001% is too risky for time travel, imagine if we were moving the battleship Gargantuan, even the slightest error can create a catastrophy. Well, that's true, I guess, and we have visitors miss Garlude. Wait ... of course, time space friction, why did I not realize that sooner, I will edit the device when I charge up again and we get back, then we can test it out again! Garlude takes a happy stance as she says this. Satori turns to the brown and white earth pony talking to them, This has only been the second test for Garlude's time travel device, the first with us along.

Brairthorn thinks for a bit never heard of the Gargantuan. i do have a single ship called the Eris....im not allowed to keep it near civilization cause of the chaos generator.... taps a hoof to his chin and then kicks another gear and the trolley buzzes and rises back up to hover, moving a bit sideways before halting and hissing well can i give you all a lift? he looks at the trolley providing you all dont mess with anything inside the Steamcog. some of the controls are a might sensitive. he flicks a lever and the doors hiss open

Time-space translocation resistance should now be adjusted in the device, I predict 100% accuracy next time, Garlude turns to Brairthorn and lifts a hoof, And steam powered devices, wow that's old school, I never got to look at some. Satori, go test it out! I wont test it, it's too dangerous for my tastes. Alright then, go Vixen!!!

Vixen looked surprised and then said. Oh umm ok I guess I could try it out. Vixen went up to the steamed powered device and went inside and looked around and then sees a lever saying. Hmm lets see what this lever does. . She gently lifted the lever upward as the trolley hovered a bit higher and then gently pulls the lever down as it hovers a bit low saying. This is fine. .just gotta be gentle with it. She then looked all around the trolly she even got out of it and and flew up looking closely at the details of it and then looked back at Garlude and Satori saying. For something that is old school, its pretty safe, like I said you just got to be gentle with the controls cause if you get to rough with the controls who knows it might break. She then landed on the ground perfectly and went back inside the trolley.

the Steamcog suddenly lets out a squeal and the left side hits the ground, the engine lets out a high pitched scree and it starts to move in a circle and Brairthorn looks agast you didnt set the stabilizer break! he times it and jumps into the door and the trolley rocks a bit and then evens out, hissing and spitting like mad, a large plume of smoke shooting up into the air from the squat funnel and then the trolley resumes a gentle hover, three inches off the ground and Brairthorn appears inthe door I SAID NO TOUCHING!

Garlude looks carefully at the Steamcog the whole time, It's a miracle Vixen didn't make it explode this time, analysis of the machine shows that it could have ended much worse than this. Repairs don't seem comlicated, I can assist for compensation of my minion if you require it.
Gazing from a short distance is a yellow pegasus who happened to look upon the scene and is very startled, Oh my, I think I will just go around ..., Fluttershy flies up slowly and goes around the group with a wide curve.

Satori looks around at where Fluttershy was, I sensed somepony else .... Oh, please give my minions a ride, I shall go on ahead and see what there is to do in Canterlot! Garlude starts flashing with lightning sparks again as she disappears within a moment. Satori sighs, She always wants to research as fast as she can, oh well.
