INSPECT
A machine.
Cool to the touch. Long, ornate geometry, and only an occasional hard corner. Metal and glass, with bulbs, protrusions, vibrations. Rotations. A keyhole.
Intermittent shivering, as if longing for warmth. Something stirring within, obviously significant. It waits for you.
Your hands encounter a loose panel. It flips open with your touch, revealing a monitor.
A line of text, blinking, annoyed.
