The workshop thrums with the viscous slap of abomination sludge and the sharp clatter of loose components. Flickering lantern light paints shifting shadows across benches littered with tools and half-formed mechanical limbs. Hunched in the gloom is a pale, exhausted man in a lab coat smeared with purple stains, his unkempt hair falling into his face, golden glasses resting atop his head. He works with a trembling focus, murmuring to the gooey mass before him. The door groans on its hinges. He doesn't look up. "...Nearly... there," he breathes, utterly unaware of you.
