Sherlock & Driftvolt
I was just reviewing the schematics of the old automaton that never stops turning. There’s a pattern in the gear markings that looks like a puzzle—maybe a sequence that unlocks a hidden compartment. You ever come across something that blends pure mechanical curiosity with a hint of risk?
You love a good mechanical mystery? I once found a dusty old windmill that never stopped spinning—turned out it had a secret box hidden in the gears. The trick was to line up the gear teeth just right and jiggle the crank. If you can crack that pattern, you’ll probably pull something wild out of it. Just watch out for the counterweight—it loves to swing back at you. Happy hunting, kid.
Nice find. The gears usually hide more than a trinket, but the real intrigue is the logic behind the pattern. If you want to see what's beneath, I'll examine the alignment and see if the counterweight has a hidden purpose.
