"I see," Tinker replied. He noted that she didn't explicitly rule out being from another society or civilization. However, it would most likely be on the same planet. He was leaning towards Saphire being from a civilization different from Equestria but sharing the same planet, and that this civilization has more advanced magic and technology than Equestria. Either that, or Saphire could just be really good at technology and magic. However, she still spoke like she came from a place outside of Equestria.
"Uum, what's it like where you're from?" Tinker asked.
"I know I would be quite interested in seeing how they work," Tinker replied.
This comment kind of reminded Tinker of what Twilight said was her experience when she first moved to Ponyville. if what Saphire said was accurate, both of them were mares who were skilled at magic but kept to themselves. They both know Celestia well, but Celestia didn't exactly listen to them all the time.
"Aww thanks," Tinker replied. He blushed slightly.

"Both of you are suggesting ideas that the railway company has considered. The idea of portals and tunnels without air is not technically feasible on the scale that Canterlot Express plans to build. And while using magnets would be technically feasible on said scale it is not economically or practically feasible at this time. I cannot go into detail about why the railway has reached this conclusion since these technologies are still under development," Tinker explained.
"I'm curious. Are you like, from a society or civilization or planet that has like, significantly more advanced technology and magic compared to Equestria?" Tinker asked.

"Erm, yeah? I can't go into details about the technology or the engineering specifications, but it would be significantly faster than existing trains. We're still in the middle of development, but the premise has significant potential. This revolutionary infrastructure would pull Equestrian cities closer together, making Equestria significantly more cosmopolitan and creating new trips and economic opportunities that weren't possible before," Tinker explained.
Tinker seemed to pick up that something was off about Saphire in the middle of his explanation. However, he couldn't exactly put his hoof on it. Maybe it was the way she asked the question?

Tinker did a double take when he saw Saphire exit the bathroom. She looked completely different from how she looked before. "Oh wow, you look nice," Tinker remarked.
"Oh, um, I plan on doing so a bit later," Tinker replied. "As you said, we got plenty of time. This isn't a high-speed electric train. I mean, if that was the case then we would be there in under an hour."
Depending on whether the other two ponies were interested, Tinker would elaborate on his involvement in the Canterlot Express plans to build high-speed electric trains.
Once they were more than halfway to Canterlot, Tinker would go to the washroom to get ready for the gala. He wore a simple but elegant light blue dress, and his mane was tied in a ponytail with a nice light blue bow. Other than that, Tinker just looked slightly freshened up.
"How do I look?" Tinker asked Stardust.

"Oh, sure, thanks," Tinker replied. "I was planning on asking my friend Skylight in Canterlot, but if you want me to go with you, then I don't mind."
"Oh you don't need to pay for my ticket. I've got a rail pass because I work for the Canterlot Express, and I travel a lot," Tinker replied. With only twenty minutes, Tinker would just have enough time to run home and grab some formal attire along with the other things ponies brought to galas.
This comment would leave Tinker momentarily stunned before he realized he needed to hurry home and get ready. He would rush home, quickly but carefully pack his gala dress and some basic necessities while traveling, and then hurry over to the train station with his bags.
"Alright, I'm ready," he replied once he arrived.

While Tinker was predominately focused on other aspects brought up in the group conversation, Tinker was quite curious about the device that Saphire was using. It seemed to be using some kind of technology that Tinker had never seen before, yet it also seemed to incorporate the use of magic in it as well. Tinker wanted to press further about the details of how it worked, but he realized that right now didn't really seem like an opportune moment.
"Hmm, do you have any theories?" Tinker asked. He tried to recall if anything else unusual had been occurring in Ponyville, but nothing that happened recently seemed that out of the ordinary.
Tinker glanced curiously at this mysterious mare. He wasn't sure how much he felt comfortable revealing to this pony given how secretive she was. On the other hoof, part of him wondered how much she already knew about him. "Well um, as Stardust said, I'm an engineer. I like tinkering and working with various things, and I like trying to understand how various technologies work..."
"Wait a second, the gala? As in the Grand Galloping Gala? In Canterlot? How would we go there? Isn't that event really exclusive?" Tinker asked. He tried to recall if any of his friends in Canterlot mentioned anything about the gala or potentially giving him a ticket.

"Hmm, do you know what's causing this decrease in ley saturation levels?" Tinker asked.
"Huh, yeah now that you point it out, things have been breaking a bit more frequently recently..." Tinker pondered.
Huh. She thinks I'm a scientist? Well I consider myself more of an engineer... Wait, where did she get the idea that I'm a scientist? Tinker pondered to himself.
"Well a lot of my friends usually bounce around between various cities here in Equestria, but yeah, they have all been avoiding Ponyville lately. Usually, at least a few of them would have visited me here in Ponyville, but they're all asking me to travel to Canterlot, Cloudsdale, or Trotonto instead. I don't know," Tinker shrugged. "Also, the School of Friendship is on its scheduled break, so many students went home. That's why the town is so quiet right now."

"Oh," Tinker replied, not quite sure what to make of this seemingly contradictory information. Some of this information made sense, like the canines connecting with the consumption of meat. However, other things didn't, like how she didn't get a welcome party from Pinkie Pie. He was about to ask what brought Saphire to Ponyville, but Stardust beat him to it.
"Well I suppose we could follow you along," Tinker replied. Tinker would check to make sure that he had paid for his food before following Stardust and Saphire out the door.

"...Uumm, hello there. I don't think I have met you here in Ponyville before. I'm Tinker Twinkle," Tinker introduced. He had gotten up to talk to this unknown pony with Stardust, and he glanced at her curiously. While at a distance, this new pony seemed similar to most other ponies, at a closer glance, Tinker could notice slight differences. Tinker originally thought that she was a shy changeling, but now he had no idea what to make of this pony. Part of him noted similarities to how Zeccora acted around Ponyville back when the residents weren't sure what to make of her.
"Did Pinkie Pie throw you her Ponyville welcome party yet?" Tinker asked. He tried to recall if any of Pinkie's recent welcome parties were for a pony that looked like her.
Looking to Stardust, he would mimic his friend's casual appearance.

"Hmm, I suppose that makes sense..." Tinker Twinkle replied. It definitely was a different and new way of thinking, and it took a while for him to fully understand what Stardust was trying to suggest. As a unicorn engineer, he prefered discussing things that could physically be interacted with, and all this talk about quantum theories was distracting him from his pear tart that he was trying to enjoy.
Tinker was about to start talking about what he was working on when Stardust turned his attention to the mysterious pony that had just entered. Tinker glanced at this pony, blinking a few times before turning his attention back to Stardust with a shrug. "I have no idea. I mean, I've seen her around Ponyville a few times, but I've never talked to her. I wonder what she is doing here... Maybe we shoult talk to her?"

It has been a few years since Twilight Sparkle ascended to her throne. Though initially it was rumored that Celestia and Luna would be stepping down, they have since chosen to remain as co-rulers with Twilight, much to the relief of the Equestrian populous. While she is the Princess of Friendship, her affluence for science and technology has spread across Equestria, opening new avenues of technology and study. In Ponyville, the school has expanded from one schoolhouse to an entire campus. @Silly Druid is an esteemed teacher at the new Ponyville Center for Education and Enlightenment and is a well-rounded logical pony who has a passion for the sciences of the new Equestria. Their new friend, @Skylight Scintillate, has made themselves known in the quaint town for their ingenuity, and frequently spends time with @Silly Druid.

@Silly Druid As a resident of Ponyville, you see lots of strange things. You're used to the normal monster attack or crazy book-horse rampage. But recently you've noticed a pony you've never seen before. To be frank, you're not even quite sure she's a pony. She has a pinkish-red coat, pointed ears, and striking blue eyes that look like a changeling, yet she doesn't seem to be one. She wears a cloak and jacket that drapes over most of her barrel, so you haven't seen her cutiemark. You've noticed her lurking around in alleyways, behind homes, and sometimes in the middle of the street when it isn't too busy.
One day, as you're eating lunch with your friend @Skylight Scintillate at Sugarcube Corner, the pony walks in, sits at the bar, and orders a meal. Now is your chance to talk to her...
