Assembling the Future

The production line's dormant arrays lit up with a steady glow as Lassim, Rlyis, and Eno positioned themselves around the console. The scanner's data was loaded into the system, each rune and schematic stating 100% replicated from the original gateway.

Lassim stepped back from the control panel, observing the conveyor as it rumbled to life, metal arms and engraving tools springing into motion. It was a familiar sight after the experience with the guard constructs, but this time it was a device he himself had designed and built that the assembly line was working on. It was a different kind of satisfaction that filled him as he looked on.

The first few components moved smoothly along the line, the raw forms of the molten Astrium Veinstone molding the glowing ore as it was shaped, engraved, and refined by the automated tools.
