After designing the armor's blueprint in my virtual lab, I saved it in a folder. This time, I realized I would really need extra protection because, even though my precision with the virtual lab is absurd, there is now a clear chance that sparks could fall into my eyes—or something worse. Besides melting iron, I will be creating weapons.
Quickly, I left the lab, went to the trading post, and bought an engineer's outfit—the best one available. In addition, I acquired the automaton book that Victor was selling. Then, I returned and began working while waiting for the virtual lab to complete its task with both magic models.

The smell of burnt oil and heated metal lingers in the air as I adjust my protective goggles over my nose.
