'Well...s**t.' Salem thought, creating two nanomachines to stick to Cole and the newcomer, although it seemed relatively pointless now. 'This makes my escape that much more difficult.'
"Looks like you have a product with potential," The newcomer said.
"Of course! I save the best for you!" Cole replied heartily. "After he told me himself that to unlock a class he needed to meet requirements, I immediately went to you."
The hobbit seemed pleased. "Every time you come to me, I'm satisfied. Thank you." They shook hands. Using his eyes of the machinist, he heard the man whisper: "I shall come for him when he has no status debuffs, or in one week. Whichever comes first."
'It seems I will have to make my escape soon.'
After they left, he began combining mental blueprints in preparation for his escape for tomorrow night. After fully creating a skeleton for the suit, he viewed the blueprint in his mind to see how it turned out. It looked like an Iron Man suit if it was only for support of his torso, legs and arms. Most of the suit was open and designed with hydraulic pumps to extend and contract to make his body move, even if he couldn't do so properly.
'Since I can't do anything else but wait, I might as well check up on Cole and the Hobbit' Activating Eyes of the Machinist, he checked up on Hobbit man first.
