- As Sanaht enters Matine's handle into the prompt, it quickly disappears before the words, "GOOD LUCK" are displayed across her screen
- Matine's attention is diverted away from the additional prompt she was given and to the original prompt, which now takes up her entire screen
- On her screen, Matine can see a multitude of tabs and menus. The tab that is currently open displays a variety of devices and a small captchalogue card
- Below the tabs, Matine can see a young and very buff troll-girl sitting at her computer, her recuperacoon sitting just to the left of her

- DM
- before placing the devices, you swear something is different with the mouse prompts. hovering over the alchemiter--3*R34/r4323r you swear it says, "you killed us...."
- your head begins to ache slightly more
- sadisticStargazer
- That's weird. Maybe it was a bug? Whatever, probably not important.
- → ceilingDrac has joined
- DM
- nontheless, you place the devices one at a time; the alchemiter next to the cruxtruder, barely leaving the door to the bathroom undisturbed, the punch designix in the hallway across from the hive's entrance, and the Totem Lathe directly on top of the recuperacoon, sending slime flying everywhere

- the cruxtruder begins to emit a faint, burgundy glow
- Matine's head begins to hurt more

- That glow............ It's disturbing.
- artificialAnimosity
- AA: well im gonna check out this glowey thing so, please dont do anything to my computer!
- AA: or anything near it please!
- DM
- For a split second you think you see visions of the dead pouring out from under the lid
- Matine's head aches more
- artificialAnimosity
- You head over two the glowing mechanism, and suspiciously poke it in an attempt two investigate ts glowey intentions
- DM
- poking the device does nothing, but you're close enough to see it has a wheel to turn and a display port in addition to the lid
- artificialAnimosity
- Huh, you tap (its bassically a poke) the display to see if it turns on or something; because displays are meant two do stuff right?
- DM
- the display blinks to life with each tap, displaying a blank timer template
- artificialAnimosity
- Ohh maybe its an alarmclock? Your supposed to bonk alarm clocks to make them stop making noise, so maybe it's glowing because it can't make noise? so, you should bonk it so it stops glowing?
- You bonk the lid with a nearby weightlift in an attempt two turn off the precived giant alarm clock

- Matine briefly catches a glimpse of something horrifying before quickly shaking her head and clearing her vision. It's just a bunch of cylindrical objects popping out of the device
- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JES3JZ4sKBY
- the display on the cruxtruder lights up, displaying the time 11:11
- it begins counting down
- artificialAnimosity
- Oh shit! you ahve no idea what these are but they glow and their cool and they GLOW THIS IS AMAZING ok ok you should stop gushing over it its just a glowing cylinder (omg its a glowing cylinder thats so cool can you touch it? you wanna touch it this is cool)
- You pick up a shiny cylinder

- Matine's vision begins to blur again, and she swears the cruxite dowel isn't just a cylinder. Voices begin to rise from the open cruxtruder. "retribution......"
- artificialAnimosity
- AA: oh yeah, good point
- AA: no its okay! i just thought id ask just in case
- AA: well, we do have this glowey thing now, and since things do stuff maybe this does something?
- You poke the shiny cylender, just in case
- DM
- poking the shiny cylinder does nothing, but your attention is brought to the Totem Lathe sitting next to your desk, covered partially in slime
- artificialAnimosity
- You are adequatly saddened upon the reminder that you dont have a recooperacoon anymore, but since it has your attention it probobaly wants something from you, maybe it wants the cylinder? It also might want your weightlift though, you bring both when yoou walk over two it just in case, being carefull two step around the sopor slime splashes
- artificialAnimosity
- You present your weightlifts two it, lighty bonking it with the weight end
- DM
- bonking does nothing to affect the Totem Lathe

- Sanaht cleverly observes the device and notices a slot, presumably for that captcha card that Matine mentioned, and an open space betwixt two clamps below a needle
- 10:00
- DM
- 9:51
- 9:44
- artificialAnimosity
- Well if it dosent want your weightlifts it probobaly wants the cylinder thingy. you smush the cylinder into the clamp space since that seems like the most secure place to put it so the needel thingy can keep it safe, though you wonder why a needle thing wants a cylinder thing, technology is weird
- DM
- Matine - roll sanity
- artificialAnimosity
- You go over two your comp again so u can ask Matine where the card thingy is

- the card lands squarely on top of sanaht's pointy anime shades
- artificialAnimosity
- AA: oh sweet, thanks!
- DM
- 8:45

- artificialAnimosity
- You grab the card from on top of your amazing anime shades, completely unphased, and plop the card into teh card slot on the needle thing. damn it sure wants stuff. maybe its a hoarder?

- as the carving process begins, Matine's vision blurs even further, and she sees a troll being carved open
- "you did this to us......."
- "you carved us open....."
- "you will |>4Y"
- the Totem lathe quickly carves the dowel into a wavy, vase-like object

- the clamps release the dowel

- oh its giving it back! thats nice of it
- Well, theres only one thing left to mess with, so you head over to the giant podium with the satanic circle thing
- DM
- Matine - Roll sanity
- artificialAnimosity
- You cant rly poke it properly while carrying the cylinder, so you put it on the conveniently provided smaller podium thingy before you do. Now you can poke away!

- Matine's vision clears once more, but her head pounds like a sledgehammer
- whilst poking the alchemiter, a kernelsprite suddenly pops out of the cruxtruder, and with its appearance, the timer suddenly glitches and hits 1:00
- at the same time, Sanaht can hear a weak mewling in the entrance hallway
- artificialAnimosity
- Oh, that isn't good
- You make a beeline for where you heard the noise from
- DM
- dashing into the entrance hallway with the kernelsprite following close behind, you can see........ oh no..........

- artificialAnimosity
- ow, sanaht is very blinded by this
- DM
- in front of you is a huge sheet of cruxite paper, with one word written in a language only you understand: "CREATE"
- artificialAnimosity
- you think thats stupid! your mom just died!! or is dying!!! you have no idea!!!!!!
- You scratch an angry face onto the paper to indicate your displeasure
- DM
- 0:25
- the angry face does nothing
- but look angry at you
- artificialAnimosity
- You fold the paper into a paper hat and throw it at the satanic circle
