'If not for Claire being here with me, I would've gone insane…' I thought as I gently placed the device down before staring at the array of its siblings displayed on the floor in a nice, perfectly well-organized square.
In the end, we've managed to complete just below a hundred of devices, each of which many times more potent than the prototype I was so proud with.
