You write to Margaret and say that tomorrow sounds lovely. You'll have to think of what you want to do as your options may be limited. After all, you are pretty sure you wouldn't be allowed to leave the base for a date since you are technically a principal. You then send Seshat a message and say you'd be happy to play her game, and to let you know if she needs anything from you. You wonder how hard character creation will be.
You get discharged about an hour later, and make your way over to the Workshop. There is a checkpoint, though the dwarf at the booth waves you by saying, "Ah, the human. Yeah, Hilde said you might be coming by. Go on, I think she and Swebe are in Bay #6."
Unsurprisingly, the halls are less populated here. The workforce here is made up of various fairies, but dressed in casual professional clothing, lab coats, or industrial PPE. A lot of the fae are dwarves or gnomes. You even think you spot a few kobolds and goblins. Peering into some of the rooms you spot machinery, but an odd sort of collection of it. There are normal modern machines like welders, cranes, and lathes but there are also less than normal things. You spot what looks to be a rune covered forge, and some other machines you can't possibly fathom the use for, such as a very alien looking machine complete with a plasma ball and Jacob's ladder. One machine appears to be sentient, and still another sort of machine is made completely of flesh and bone.
You find Hilde in the large room marked with a six. She is bent over slightly and talking to a bored looking female goblin sitting on a chair at a table. From her green skin and pointy ears you surmise that she is a goblin, though one with an interesting and possibly impractical fashion sense for the area they are currently in. She is wearing a white short sleeve shirt with a frilly sort of pink skirt and fluffy legwarmers with wedges. Atop this she has goggles decorated with a large bow and a leopard print blacksmith smock and one heavy duty glove on her right hand.
The goblin spots you and pointing lazily says, "Hey, fer shure your friend is here."
"Oh! Hey bud!" Hilde yells, turning her screen head happily towards you. Walking over quickly the robot whispers, "Make sure to talk me up, alright?"
"Like, don't coach him!" The goblin says straightening up a bit, "Totally, like, my name is Swebe. Hilde's been, like, totally telling me 'bout that Story you guys went in. I wanna hear it from someone not her before I'm, like, approving anything."
