Hey Cherepan, I've been noticing strange rune patterns etched into some of these old engines—thought maybe there's a hidden magic that could make a repair faster than a wrench alone. Have you ever seen anything like that?

I’ll look at them. Maybe the old symbols were a kind of warning, not just paint. Even the best tools work best when the heart of the machine is clear. Let’s see what they’re really telling us.

Let me see the symbols and the damage. If there’s a hidden pattern, I’ll point it out. Otherwise, we’ll just get to work fixing the engine.

I’ve scanned the metal. There are faint, almost invisible lines etched deep into the surface, forming a repeating pattern that looks like a broken spiral. The marks are darker than the surrounding paint, and the scratches run perpendicular to them, indicating some sort of wear that’s followed the pattern. The damage itself is concentrated around the crankshaft area—cracked oil seals, a cracked flywheel, and a series of small pits that look like they've been gouged out by a fast-moving object. The overall effect is that the engine is not just worn but also has a subtle, almost ritualistic signature to it. If there’s a hidden meaning, it could guide us in fixing it more efficiently. If not, we’ll just go for a standard repair.

Sounds like a practical plan. I’ll keep an eye out for anything else that slips through the cracks. Once the seals are replaced and the crank straightened, the engine should breathe again. Let’s get to it.

Alright, I’ll keep the bench clear and the tools ready. Let’s breathe life back into that engine.
