Ah. Well, there may be some good news, then! I go near the mines to practice my magic quite often, and there's quite a bit of machinery that's been left behind there. The humans here don't use it anymore for whatever reason, so I'm sure there'll be no problems if you use it for yourself.

If there's any other parts you need, I'd be happy to check the stores for you. The people here are... uneasy, enough around newcomers as it is. I don't think they'd react very well to someone as imposing as yourself. Of course, I'd need a few more details to know what you need, but keeping yourself fueled is something I'd be happy to help with.
