[the following is a conversation between two scientists, codenamed Sc1 and Sc2]

Sc1: that place is getting out of control. Every day, another unfortunate soul enters and gets killed.

Sc2: and we’re meant to condone that for “research purposes”?? We already know what happens when they die! More entities are created! More threats!

Sc1: well… about that…

Sc2: eh?

Sc1: what if we fabricated our own entity, strong enough to prevent anything new from being created?

Sc2: im interested now…

Sc1: well, for a year now, I’ve been working on just that, toying with the idea, and have created this prototype.

[the sound of a sheet being removed from an object can be heard.]

Sc2: holy…

Sc1: may I present to you… Project Clockwork.

[the sound of gears turning can be heard after.]
