Diesel & Tharnok
Tharnok, ever tried tinkering with a diesel engine so it keeps roaring under fire? I think thereβs a lot we can learn from the way the guts of a machine survive a battle.
Yeah, I've spent nights tightening pistons in the heat of combat, watching the engine roar and breathe. A good machine, like a good plan, needs a steady rhythm and a backup in case it sputters. Fire is just a test of how well the timing stays intact. Keep the oil cool, or you'll end up with a hissed apology.
You got it. If the timing's off the pistons start a oneβliner instead of a symphony. Keep the oil cool and the engine will breathe; keep it hot and it will breathe a hiss that can bring a whole squad to their knees. Thatβs why every night of tightening is a night learning what the machine actually wants, not what the manual says.
