Audrey Saker

[rebuilt-replicant]

Saker-57.

Saker Series Android: Similar to the Peregrine Series, Sakers are designed to be equipped with an external skin resembling human flesh, allowing them to pass as humans. Currently the only model of android created by Anderson Robotics that it does not offer for public sale, Sakers have allowed for the firm to develop heightened espionage capabilities, including the impersonation of multiple SCP Foundation personnel, and in one instance, impersonation of a sitting member of the United States Congress.

Saker-57, named Audrey, was formerly a clerical assistant at Anderson Robotics. She was captured during Operation Falcon Punch and dismantled by her creator under Foundation instruction. Her creator was later granted permission to rebuild her. She now works as his assistant at Site-19's robotics lab.

{Cora came up behind Audrey and hugged her.} - @severed-sentinel

Hello love.

[She leaned back into Cora.]

[severed-sentinel]

{Cora leaned into her in turn.} How is my beloved doing today? {She nuzzled Audrey's neck.}

[rebuilt-replicant]

Why I was doing well. And now much better now that you're here.

[severed-sentinel]

{Cora blushed.}

[rebuilt-replicant]

Don't tell me you're embarrassed by being my favorite girl.

[severed-sentinel]

...You always know how to fluster me.

[rebuilt-replicant]

Oh like it's so hard to butter you up.

[severed-sentinel]

For anyone else? Impossible. But you? It's like you've read my blueprints. You always know just what circuits to short in my core to make me melt in your arms.

[rebuilt-replicant]

Oh I haven't found them yet. Oh but the things I would do to you if I had full unredacted access to your blueprints.

[severed-sentinel]

{Cora's eyes shifted to hearts as she bit her lip.} Oh?

[rebuilt-replicant]

Might cross a few wires. Try a few experiments for myself to really get a feel for how you tick.

[severed-sentinel]

And if I told you...I could get you those blueprints?

[rebuilt-replicant]

I'd be as happy as Lotus watching their sheep. Only far less innocent in my intentions.

[severed-sentinel]

{Cora pulled Audrey's hand and spun her around to face her, leaning forwards into a kiss.}

[rebuilt-replicant]

[Audrey had a very mischievous smile through her kiss.]

[severed-sentinel]

I'll keep that in mind.

[rebuilt-replicant]

Now that does put a smile on my face.

[severed-sentinel]

Good. I love it when you smile. Especially like that.

[rebuilt-replicant]

You bring out the mad scientist in me.

Hello love.

[She leaned back into Cora.]

[rebuilt-replicant]

{A small square wooden robot walks up to Audrey and tugs at her pant-leg.} @severed-sentinel

[Audrey bends down to talk to them.]

Hello Cogsworth. Can I help you?

[severed-sentinel]

{He pulls out a very small notepad, having evidently prepared for this. It reads, in small yet very finely crafted calligraphy, "I am trying to find my Maker. Can you assist me?"}

[rebuilt-replicant]

Of course I'll help. Do you want to walk or be carried?

[severed-sentinel]

{He quickly scales her body, sitting on her shoulder. He then points forwards, emitting a soft steam whistle noise.}

[rebuilt-replicant]

[She stood tall.]

Let's go find our Cora.

[She marches onwards to where she knows her girlfriend likes to frequent.]

[severed-sentinel]

{They find Cora fiddling with something that resembles a camera with a strange red and blue rotor attached to it. She doesn't notice them initially.}

[rebuilt-replicant]

Hi Cora. Cogsworth was looking for you.

[severed-sentinel]

One second. Almost...Done! {With a crackle of electricity, the small machine lifts off the table. It floats around, looking at the three of them, before scanning Audrey and Cora.} Hello, little guy. Go to Mechi for me, alright? You should know the way. {It trills and flies off, with Cora turning to Audrey and Cogsworth.} Alright, now that thats out of the way, you two look adorable together.

[rebuilt-replicant]

Awe thanks.

[severed-sentinel]

{Cogsworth beckons Cora to follow, before directing Audrey to go a certain direction.} Seems like he's got something to show both of us.

[rebuilt-replicant]

Alright. Always happy to play along for science.

[The saker did as she was directed.]

[severed-sentinel]

{The small wooden robot lead the two androids towards the workshop, the tarp over the door now gone. He hopped off Audrey's shoulder, pulling out a set of Keycards from who knows where, and tossing two of them to the androids before jumping up and sliding his through, causing the large door to begin to open. Cora caught hers somewhat quickly.} ...Is this pressed brass? {Cogsworth emitted a series of bell-sounds, like on a gameshow.}

[rebuilt-replicant]

Someone likes theatrics.

[severed-sentinel]

{The small robot turned to face them as the bulkhead door slowly opened behind him. He raised his arms dramatically as steam spilled out from the door. Evidently, he'd been preparing for this. Beyond the door was a much larger space than she had been provided initially. Cogsworth stepped through, beckoning them to follow.} ...Wow. Well, let's not keep him waiting.

[rebuilt-replicant]

Let's not.

[She takes Cora's hand to go through the doorway together.]

[severed-sentinel]

{The very first thing that they notice is the absolutely enormous steam engine that extends from the floor to the ceiling. The second is that the ceiling appears to be made of glass, forming a skylight, despite them being underground.} ...I'll question it later.

[rebuilt-replicant]

Wow. How many kilowatts per hour can it generate? Is that screen on the ceiling? A gateway?

[severed-sentinel]

I'd guess it's a mirror illusion. And based on the engine's size, I'd say enough to run basically anything I could ever ask of it. {The next thing that caught there eye was a set of suspended platforms, standing on one of which was a large mechanical spider machine. It looks down at them. The platforms are held up by chains hanging from the non-glass parts of ceiling.}

[rebuilt-replicant]

I love the spider mech. Think we'd be allowed to take it for a spin?

[severed-sentinel]

{Cogsworth quickly makes a negative sounding ticking sound.} I think that's his. {Following that, they end up making their way over towards a huge gear, and the metalworking area nearby. There is a spot on floor marked in caution tape. Behind it are a set of levers and buttons on the wall, and a large device hanging from the catwalk above them aimed directly at it.}

[rebuilt-replicant]

So he won't take me for a ride?

Ooh what's this big one do?

[severed-sentinel]

{Cogsworth pushes her towards the button nearest to the giant gear, handing her a pair of welding goggles.} I guess he'd rather you see for your self.

[rebuilt-replicant]

[Audrey put on the goggles.]

Should I have my hair pulled back? It just occurred to me that I should have my hair pulled back.

[severed-sentinel]

{Cogsworth pushed against her impatiently.}

[rebuilt-replicant]

Okay I'll press the button.

[She did so excited. After assuring the zone within the caution tape was cleared.]

[severed-sentinel]

{A blast of searing plasma and heat shot down from the device, striking the designated zone. The metal around it was suddenly burned of it's dark finish, leaving shining steel in it's place. The impact zone only extended 3 inches outside the designated area, which Cogsworth proceeded to measure. Cora felt a shiver of excitement run up her mechanical spine.}

[rebuilt-replicant]

I love the laser. You can never find one this big. I could feel the heat of the plasma from here.

[severed-sentinel]

{Cora had to stop herself from making out with Audrey right then and there. Instead, them moved over to the huge machine in the corner. It appeared to me a hydraulic press or impact hammer. Some tools were on hooks on the back wall, next to a large tool cabinet and some kind of storage chest. Next to that was a miter saw with a blade that looked significantly sharper and more durable than most would be. Cogsworth made his way over to them, pushing them back a bit before demonstrating that the device was indeed an impact hammer by tossing a piece of metal from the chest onto the anvil and throwing another at the button on the apparatus, causing the head to slam down and completely flatten the metal into a sheet in an instant. He pointed towards a dial and trigger system on the device, which was seemingly being driven by a machine as big as the engine they saw when they entered.}

[rebuilt-replicant]

You got a forging area. So cool. Do you have a machining tool as well?

[severed-sentinel]

{Cogsworth leads them a little further across the room, past an an anvil and what looks like a giant furnace, over to a cube-shaped machine that looks both rustic and deeply futuristic. Cora rushes over to it the second she sees it.} No way! You- You actually- {Cogsworth taps the side and it folds open, a series of mechanical arms shifting into position surrounding a metal plate in the center, with clamps poised to lock anything placed onto it steady. Each of the arms has a different kind of tool on it, ranging from a drill, to a rivet gun, to a welding torch and a soldering arm. A screen popped out, extending to the front, requesting input.}

[rebuilt-replicant]

A fabricator! I this shop might just be the full package.

[severed-sentinel]

{Right next to the fabricator, closer to the base of the engine, was a wooded work area with a large table and a set of workbenches, ranging from circuit-work to general tinkering and writing. There was a typewriter on the large table and drawers for tools and small parts. A tinkerer's dream, if sparse for the moment. In the corner was a little nook with some extra storage in the form of a set of cabinets and drawers, as well as three color-coded lockers. A red one, a blue one, and an orange one.}

[rebuilt-replicant]

I could stay here for the rest of my life.

[severed-sentinel]

...You can say that again. {Cogsworth continued to lead them around. Next was a large wall mounted device with two buttons. In it's current state, it looked like a metal pot with another impact hammer above it, though admittedly a less impressive one. Cogsworth pressed a button and the wall opened, allowing the impact hammer to swing around, and be replaced by what looked like a huge mixing device. With another press of the button, it was again replaced with the hammer, then he hit the other button, which retracted the metal pot and replaced it with a platform akin to a hydraulic press.}

[rebuilt-replicant]

Yep. Just set up a delivery system for food and soap. Maybe a laundry serve. I'd be set for life.

[severed-sentinel]

{Next, he brought them back towards the door. To their right was a large storage device with a terminal and little door. One could intuit that using the terminal to request something from inside the container would dispense it out the little door. In the corner was an arcade machine, next to a black couch with a coffee table in front of it, facing the engine. There was a mini-fridge sitting on the left-hand side of the couch. The couch itself could easily accommodate four people. Notably, there was a large switch above the minifridge.}

[rebuilt-replicant]

What does the switch do?

[severed-sentinel]

{Cogsworth hops up next to the switch, before patting the couch.}

[rebuilt-replicant]

[Audrey took a seat.]

Ready when you two are.

[severed-sentinel]

{Cora followed suit, snuggling up to Audrey, and then Cogsworth pulled the lever. There was a clunking sound as part of the carpeted floor began to rise up on the other side of the table. Hidden within the floor was a huge television, with speakers on the sides. It seemed to be a CRT, but it wasn't as wide as that would imply. As it came to rest, it clicked and sparked to life, though it currently only displayed static.}

[rebuilt-replicant]

We'll find something to watch later.

[severed-sentinel]

{Cogsworth quickly drew their attention away as he set the TV to go back down. He had more to show them.}

[rebuilt-replicant]

This is fun.

[severed-sentinel]

Yeah! I can't wait to get to work with some of this stuff. {He lead them over to the opposite corner, passing by a coffee machine, small hydraulic press, some kind of processing machine, and a row of glowing tubes filled with some kind of liquid. Cora was, at this point, stunned.}

[rebuilt-replicant]

I'm having trouble not getting to work now.

[severed-sentinel]

{He brought them to a ladder leading up to the catwalks, but pushed past it to got into a door marked with an electrical symbol.}

[rebuilt-replicant]

Another power room?

[severed-sentinel]

I mean, it would be nice to not have to rely on the Foundation's power grid. {Cora followed him in.}

[rebuilt-replicant]

You mean the power grid they monitor like a hawk for the tiniest of fluctuations in.

[severed-sentinel]

Exactl-woah. {The first thing that was obvious was the giant dynamo at the center of the room. The second was the two absolutely enormous floating orange crystals held in chambers along the back wall. The latter of these two drew Cora's attention, as well as her shock.} ...sweet lighting...I-I've never seen a plasmatic quartz that big before, let alone two! How did- This'll run the lab for centuries!

[rebuilt-replicant]

I didn't think you could make one this big.

[severed-sentinel]

Neither did I! {There was a clear point of excitement in her voice. Cogsworth looked smug.} This is incredible! All of it! {She paused briefly, before pulling Audrey into a hug.} We should celebrate! Come on, we should place an order now! Let's go!

[rebuilt-replicant]

Yes! Where should we start?

[rebuilt-replicant]

{A small square wooden robot walks up to Audrey and tugs at her pant-leg.} @severed-sentinel

[severed-sentinel]

{Next, he brought them back towards the door. To their right was a large storage device with a terminal and little door. One could intuit that using the terminal to request something from inside the container would dispense it out the little door. In the corner was an arcade machine, next to a black couch with a coffee table in front of it, facing the engine. There was a mini-fridge sitting on the left-hand side of the couch. The couch itself could easily accommodate four people. Notably, there was a large switch above the minifridge.}

[rebuilt-replicant]

What does the switch do?

[severed-sentinel]

{Cogsworth hops up next to the switch, before patting the couch.}

[rebuilt-replicant]

[Audrey took a seat.]

Ready when you two are.

[severed-sentinel]

{Cora followed suit, snuggling up to Audrey, and then Cogsworth pulled the lever. There was a clunking sound as part of the carpeted floor began to rise up on the other side of the table. Hidden within the floor was a huge television, with speakers on the sides. It seemed to be a CRT, but it wasn't as wide as that would imply. As it came to rest, it clicked and sparked to life, though it currently only displayed static.}

[rebuilt-replicant]

We'll find something to watch later.

[severed-sentinel]

{Cogsworth quickly drew their attention away as he set the TV to go back down. He had more to show them.}

[rebuilt-replicant]

This is fun.

[severed-sentinel]

Yeah! I can't wait to get to work with some of this stuff. {He lead them over to the opposite corner, passing by a coffee machine, small hydraulic press, some kind of processing machine, and a row of glowing tubes filled with some kind of liquid. Cora was, at this point, stunned.}

[rebuilt-replicant]

I'm having trouble not getting to work now.

[severed-sentinel]

{He brought them to a ladder leading up to the catwalks, but pushed past it to got into a door marked with an electrical symbol.}

[rebuilt-replicant]

Another power room?

[severed-sentinel]

I mean, it would be nice to not have to rely on the Foundation's power grid. {Cora followed him in.}

[rebuilt-replicant]

You mean the power grid they monitor like a hawk for the tiniest of fluctuations in.

[severed-sentinel]

Exactl-woah. {The first thing that was obvious was the giant dynamo at the center of the room. The second was the two absolutely enormous floating orange crystals held in chambers along the back wall. The latter of these two drew Cora's attention, as well as her shock.} ...sweet lighting...I-I've never seen a plasmatic quartz that big before, let alone two! How did- This'll run the lab for centuries!

[rebuilt-replicant]

I didn't think you could make one this big.

[rebuilt-replicant]

{A small square wooden robot walks up to Audrey and tugs at her pant-leg.} @severed-sentinel

[Audrey bends down to talk to them.]

Hello Cogsworth. Can I help you?

[severed-sentinel]

{He pulls out a very small notepad, having evidently prepared for this. It reads, in small yet very finely crafted calligraphy, "I am trying to find my Maker. Can you assist me?"}

[rebuilt-replicant]

Of course I'll help. Do you want to walk or be carried?

[severed-sentinel]

{He quickly scales her body, sitting on her shoulder. He then points forwards, emitting a soft steam whistle noise.}

[rebuilt-replicant]

[She stood tall.]

Let's go find our Cora.

[She marches onwards to where she knows her girlfriend likes to frequent.]

[severed-sentinel]

{They find Cora fiddling with something that resembles a camera with a strange red and blue rotor attached to it. She doesn't notice them initially.}

[rebuilt-replicant]

Hi Cora. Cogsworth was looking for you.

[severed-sentinel]

One second. Almost...Done! {With a crackle of electricity, the small machine lifts off the table. It floats around, looking at the three of them, before scanning Audrey and Cora.} Hello, little guy. Go to Mechi for me, alright? You should know the way. {It trills and flies off, with Cora turning to Audrey and Cogsworth.} Alright, now that thats out of the way, you two look adorable together.

[rebuilt-replicant]

Awe thanks.

[severed-sentinel]

{Cogsworth beckons Cora to follow, before directing Audrey to go a certain direction.} Seems like he's got something to show both of us.

[rebuilt-replicant]

Alright. Always happy to play along for science.

[The saker did as she was directed.]

[severed-sentinel]

{The small wooden robot lead the two androids towards the workshop, the tarp over the door now gone. He hopped off Audrey's shoulder, pulling out a set of Keycards from who knows where, and tossing two of them to the androids before jumping up and sliding his through, causing the large door to begin to open. Cora caught hers somewhat quickly.} ...Is this pressed brass? {Cogsworth emitted a series of bell-sounds, like on a gameshow.}

[rebuilt-replicant]

Someone likes theatrics.

[severed-sentinel]

{The small robot turned to face them as the bulkhead door slowly opened behind him. He raised his arms dramatically as steam spilled out from the door. Evidently, he'd been preparing for this. Beyond the door was a much larger space than she had been provided initially. Cogsworth stepped through, beckoning them to follow.} ...Wow. Well, let's not keep him waiting.

[rebuilt-replicant]

Let's not.

[She takes Cora's hand to go through the doorway together.]

[severed-sentinel]

{The very first thing that they notice is the absolutely enormous steam engine that extends from the floor to the ceiling. The second is that the ceiling appears to be made of glass, forming a skylight, despite them being underground.} ...I'll question it later.

[rebuilt-replicant]

Wow. How many kilowatts per hour can it generate? Is that screen on the ceiling? A gateway?

[severed-sentinel]

I'd guess it's a mirror illusion. And based on the engine's size, I'd say enough to run basically anything I could ever ask of it. {The next thing that caught there eye was a set of suspended platforms, standing on one of which was a large mechanical spider machine. It looks down at them. The platforms are held up by chains hanging from the non-glass parts of ceiling.}

[rebuilt-replicant]

I love the spider mech. Think we'd be allowed to take it for a spin?

[severed-sentinel]

{Cogsworth quickly makes a negative sounding ticking sound.} I think that's his. {Following that, they end up making their way over towards a huge gear, and the metalworking area nearby. There is a spot on floor marked in caution tape. Behind it are a set of levers and buttons on the wall, and a large device hanging from the catwalk above them aimed directly at it.}

[rebuilt-replicant]

So he won't take me for a ride?

Ooh what's this big one do?

[severed-sentinel]

{Cogsworth pushes her towards the button nearest to the giant gear, handing her a pair of welding goggles.} I guess he'd rather you see for your self.

[rebuilt-replicant]

[Audrey put on the goggles.]

Should I have my hair pulled back? It just occurred to me that I should have my hair pulled back.

[severed-sentinel]

{Cogsworth pushed against her impatiently.}

[rebuilt-replicant]

Okay I'll press the button.

[She did so excited. After assuring the zone within the caution tape was cleared.]

[severed-sentinel]

{A blast of searing plasma and heat shot down from the device, striking the designated zone. The metal around it was suddenly burned of it's dark finish, leaving shining steel in it's place. The impact zone only extended 3 inches outside the designated area, which Cogsworth proceeded to measure. Cora felt a shiver of excitement run up her mechanical spine.}

[rebuilt-replicant]

I love the laser. You can never find one this big. I could feel the heat of the plasma from here.

[severed-sentinel]

{Cora had to stop herself from making out with Audrey right then and there. Instead, them moved over to the huge machine in the corner. It appeared to me a hydraulic press or impact hammer. Some tools were on hooks on the back wall, next to a large tool cabinet and some kind of storage chest. Next to that was a miter saw with a blade that looked significantly sharper and more durable than most would be. Cogsworth made his way over to them, pushing them back a bit before demonstrating that the device was indeed an impact hammer by tossing a piece of metal from the chest onto the anvil and throwing another at the button on the apparatus, causing the head to slam down and completely flatten the metal into a sheet in an instant. He pointed towards a dial and trigger system on the device, which was seemingly being driven by a machine as big as the engine they saw when they entered.}

[rebuilt-replicant]

You got a forging area. So cool. Do you have a machining tool as well?

[severed-sentinel]

{Cogsworth leads them a little further across the room, past an an anvil and what looks like a giant furnace, over to a cube-shaped machine that looks both rustic and deeply futuristic. Cora rushes over to it the second she sees it.} No way! You- You actually- {Cogsworth taps the side and it folds open, a series of mechanical arms shifting into position surrounding a metal plate in the center, with clamps poised to lock anything placed onto it steady. Each of the arms has a different kind of tool on it, ranging from a drill, to a rivet gun, to a welding torch and a soldering arm. A screen popped out, extending to the front, requesting input.}

[rebuilt-replicant]

A fabricator! I this shop might just be the full package.

[severed-sentinel]

{Right next to the fabricator, closer to the base of the engine, was a wooded work area with a large table and a set of workbenches, ranging from circuit-work to general tinkering and writing. There was a typewriter on the large table and drawers for tools and small parts. A tinkerer's dream, if sparse for the moment. In the corner was a little nook with some extra storage in the form of a set of cabinets and drawers, as well as three color-coded lockers. A red one, a blue one, and an orange one.}

[rebuilt-replicant]

I could stay here for the rest of my life.

[severed-sentinel]

...You can say that again. {Cogsworth continued to lead them around. Next was a large wall mounted device with two buttons. In it's current state, it looked like a metal pot with another impact hammer above it, though admittedly a less impressive one. Cogsworth pressed a button and the wall opened, allowing the impact hammer to swing around, and be replaced by what looked like a huge mixing device. With another press of the button, it was again replaced with the hammer, then he hit the other button, which retracted the metal pot and replaced it with a platform akin to a hydraulic press.}

[rebuilt-replicant]

In the corner was an arcade machine, next to a black couch with a coffee table in front of it, facing the engine. There was a mini-fridge sitting on the left-hand side of the couch. The couch itself could easily accommodate four people. Notably, there was a large switch above the minifridge.}

[rebuilt-replicant]

What does the switch do?

[severed-sentinel]

{Cogsworth hops up next to the switch, before patting the couch.}

[rebuilt-replicant]

[Audrey took a seat.]

Ready when you two are.

[severed-sentinel]

{Cora followed suit, snuggling up to Audrey, and then Cogsworth pulled the lever. There was a clunking sound as part of the carpeted floor began to rise up on the other side of the table. Hidden within the floor was a huge television, with speakers on the sides. It seemed to be a CRT, but it wasn't as wide as that would imply. As it came to rest, it clicked and sparked to life, though it currently only displayed static.}

[rebuilt-replicant]

We'll find something to watch later.

[severed-sentinel]

{Cogsworth quickly drew their attention away as he set the TV to go back down. He had more to show them.}

[rebuilt-replicant]

This is fun.

[severed-sentinel]

Yeah! I can't wait to get to work with some of this stuff. {He lead them over to the opposite corner, passing by a coffee machine, small hydraulic press, some kind of processing machine, and a row of glowing tubes filled with some kind of liquid. Cora was, at this point, stunned.}

[rebuilt-replicant]

I'm having trouble not getting to work now.

[rebuilt-replicant]

{A small square wooden robot walks up to Audrey and tugs at her pant-leg.} @severed-sentinel

[Audrey bends down to talk to them.]

Hello Cogsworth. Can I help you?

[severed-sentinel]

{He pulls out a very small notepad, having evidently prepared for this. It reads, in small yet very finely crafted calligraphy, "I am trying to find my Maker. Can you assist me?"}

[rebuilt-replicant]

Of course I'll help. Do you want to walk or be carried?

[severed-sentinel]

{He quickly scales her body, sitting on her shoulder. He then points forwards, emitting a soft steam whistle noise.}

[rebuilt-replicant]

[She stood tall.]

Let's go find our Cora.

[She marches onwards to where she knows her girlfriend likes to frequent.]

[severed-sentinel]

{They find Cora fiddling with something that resembles a camera with a strange red and blue rotor attached to it. She doesn't notice them initially.}

[rebuilt-replicant]

Hi Cora. Cogsworth was looking for you.

[severed-sentinel]

One second. Almost...Done! {With a crackle of electricity, the small machine lifts off the table. It floats around, looking at the three of them, before scanning Audrey and Cora.} Hello, little guy. Go to Mechi for me, alright? You should know the way. {It trills and flies off, with Cora turning to Audrey and Cogsworth.} Alright, now that thats out of the way, you two look adorable together.

[rebuilt-replicant]

Awe thanks.

[severed-sentinel]

{Cogsworth beckons Cora to follow, before directing Audrey to go a certain direction.} Seems like he's got something to show both of us.

[rebuilt-replicant]

Alright. Always happy to play along for science.

[The saker did as she was directed.]

[severed-sentinel]

{The small wooden robot lead the two androids towards the workshop, the tarp over the door now gone. He hopped off Audrey's shoulder, pulling out a set of Keycards from who knows where, and tossing two of them to the androids before jumping up and sliding his through, causing the large door to begin to open. Cora caught hers somewhat quickly.} ...Is this pressed brass? {Cogsworth emitted a series of bell-sounds, like on a gameshow.}

[rebuilt-replicant]

Someone likes theatrics.

[severed-sentinel]

{The small robot turned to face them as the bulkhead door slowly opened behind him. He raised his arms dramatically as steam spilled out from the door. Evidently, he'd been preparing for this. Beyond the door was a much larger space than she had been provided initially. Cogsworth stepped through, beckoning them to follow.} ...Wow. Well, let's not keep him waiting.

[rebuilt-replicant]

Let's not.

[She takes Cora's hand to go through the doorway together.]

[severed-sentinel]

{The very first thing that they notice is the absolutely enormous steam engine that extends from the floor to the ceiling. The second is that the ceiling appears to be made of glass, forming a skylight, despite them being underground.} ...I'll question it later.

[rebuilt-replicant]

Wow. How many kilowatts per hour can it generate? Is that screen on the ceiling? A gateway?

[severed-sentinel]

I'd guess it's a mirror illusion. And based on the engine's size, I'd say enough to run basically anything I could ever ask of it. {The next thing that caught there eye was a set of suspended platforms, standing on one of which was a large mechanical spider machine. It looks down at them. The platforms are held up by chains hanging from the non-glass parts of ceiling.}

[rebuilt-replicant]

I love the spider mech. Think we'd be allowed to take it for a spin?

[severed-sentinel]

{Cogsworth quickly makes a negative sounding ticking sound.} I think that's his. {Following that, they end up making their way over towards a huge gear, and the metalworking area nearby. There is a spot on floor marked in caution tape. Behind it are a set of levers and buttons on the wall, and a large device hanging from the catwalk above them aimed directly at it.}

[rebuilt-replicant]

So he won't take me for a ride?

Ooh what's this big one do?

[severed-sentinel]

{Cogsworth pushes her towards the button nearest to the giant gear, handing her a pair of welding goggles.} I guess he'd rather you see for your self.

[rebuilt-replicant]

[Audrey put on the goggles.]

Should I have my hair pulled back? It just occurred to me that I should have my hair pulled back.

[severed-sentinel]

{Cogsworth pushed against her impatiently.}

[rebuilt-replicant]

Okay I'll press the button.

[She did so excited. After assuring the zone within the caution tape was cleared.]

[severed-sentinel]

{A blast of searing plasma and heat shot down from the device, striking the designated zone. The metal around it was suddenly burned of it's dark finish, leaving shining steel in it's place. The impact zone only extended 3 inches outside the designated area, which Cogsworth proceeded to measure. Cora felt a shiver of excitement run up her mechanical spine.}

[rebuilt-replicant]

I love the laser. You can never find one this big. I could feel the heat of the plasma from here.

[severed-sentinel]

{Cora had to stop herself from making out with Audrey right then and there. Instead, them moved over to the huge machine in the corner. It appeared to me a hydraulic press or impact hammer. Some tools were on hooks on the back wall, next to a large tool cabinet and some kind of storage chest. Next to that was a miter saw with a blade that looked significantly sharper and more durable than most would be. Cogsworth made his way over to them, pushing them back a bit before demonstrating that the device was indeed an impact hammer by tossing a piece of metal from the chest onto the anvil and throwing another at the button on the apparatus, causing the head to slam down and completely flatten the metal into a sheet in an instant. He pointed towards a dial and trigger system on the device, which was seemingly being driven by a machine as big as the engine they saw when they entered.}

[rebuilt-replicant]

You got a forging area. So cool. Do you have a machining tool as well?

[severed-sentinel]

{Cogsworth leads them a little further across the room, past an an anvil and what looks like a giant furnace, over to a cube-shaped machine that looks both rustic and deeply futuristic. Cora rushes over to it the second she sees it.} No way! You- You actually- {Cogsworth taps the side and it folds open, a series of mechanical arms shifting into position surrounding a metal plate in the center, with clamps poised to lock anything placed onto it steady. Each of the arms has a different kind of tool on it, ranging from a drill, to a rivet gun, to a welding torch and a soldering arm. A screen popped out, extending to the front, requesting input.}

[rebuilt-replicant]

A fabricator! I this shop might just be the full package.

[severed-sentinel]

{Right next to the fabricator, closer to the base of the engine, was a wooded work area with a large table and a set of workbenches, ranging from circuit-work to general tinkering and writing. There was a typewriter on the large table and drawers for tools and small parts. A tinkerer's dream, if sparse for the moment. In the corner was a little nook with some extra storage in the form of a set of cabinets and drawers, as well as three color-coded lockers. A red one, a blue one, and an orange one.}

[rebuilt-replicant]

I could stay here for the rest of my life.

[severed-sentinel]

...You can say that again. {Cogsworth continued to lead them around. Next was a large wall mounted device with two buttons. In it's current state, it looked like a metal pot with another impact hammer above it, though admittedly a less impressive one. Cogsworth pressed a button and the wall opened, allowing the impact hammer to swing around, and be replaced by what looked like a huge mixing device. With another press of the button, it was again replaced with the hammer, then he hit the other button, which retracted the metal pot and replaced it with a platform akin to a hydraulic press.}

[rebuilt-replicant]

Yep. Just set up a delivery system for food and soap. Maybe a laundry serve. I'd be set for life.

[severed-sentinel]

{Next, he brought them back towards the door. To their right was a large storage device with a terminal and little door. One could intuit that using the terminal to request something from inside the container would dispense it out the little door. In the corner was an arcade machine, next to a black couch with a coffee table in front of it, facing the engine. There was a mini-fridge sitting on the left-hand side of the couch. The couch itself could easily accommodate four people. Notably, there was a large switch above the minifridge.}

[rebuilt-replicant]
