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.
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…”
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

Cool, anyways the crossbow seems to be powered by a crystal of some sort… I scan it and a notification pops up
WOW! I reassemble the crossbow and my repair levels up cool, let’s scan it.
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!
