So after a while of walking and occasionally replying to window goddess when she checked in on me… apparently I pissed her off… (Was what I intended. I don’t like people all up in my mind) I literally stumbled upon a gate of some sort. It seems that the dead clockwork formed a corroded dome around it and my weight caused it to break.

Like all sane people would do when presented with an ominous gate… I opened it… luckily window goddess wasn’t here to say anything about it. Inside it was… a bunch of dead clockwork however unlike their brethren on the surface they didn’t have any rust. However when I checked their motherboard it was falling apart…

Then I remembered the other clockwork that I fixed up… SHIT! I turn around and lo and behold there they are! Salvaging from the clockwork outside. A few tried to talk to me but due to my unresponsiveness they soon gave it up. Sigh… oh well, I look around my menu for a help screen… after a few searches I found the messenger system and sent them a massage.

Hey, sorry for not responding earlier, I lack a voice box…

A few are startled and one comes up and says in a broken voice “glad to see you can understand us, we thought you were one of the servants… they aren’t sentient…”

Ohhh ok, also I am gunna explore this place, it seems dangerous so I would recommend that you stay here because my body seems better than yours.

It responds with an ok, and I examine the weapons that are on the floor of the cave near the bodies.

They seem to be some sort of crossbow… I have an itch that do indeed scratch and completely dismantle one of the 7 intact crossbows, the others are smashed so I ask the others to take them apart. As I take it apart I gain a skill

Dismantle (common) Beginner 5 (75/100)

Able to take things apart to learn structure.

15% chance of keeping parts intact

Cool, anyways the crossbow seems to be powered by a crystal of some sort… I scan it and a notification pops up

Mana Crystal (common) (100/100)

A crystalized piece of mana holds 100 mana and recharges 1 mana per hour

WOW! I reassemble the crossbow and my repair levels up cool, let’s scan it.

Clockwork Mana Crossbow (Uncommon) (361/600 durability)

This crossbow fires bolts of mana. The crossbow also speeds up the recharging of the mana crystal inside to 1 mana per min. also folds up into a compact form

Sweet! But first I need help transferring over to a new body… I grab one of the clockwork and have him transfer me to a new body.

I also help them transfer to better bodies as well. Now they look shinier and lost all the rust. I gained a new body too but as soon as my consciousness was put in it seems that I spat out the voice box and my face reconfigured itself to seal the mouth, Sigh. Oh well, there goes learning how to talk…

Well anyways, time to explore!
