The moment they reached the dungeon floor in the laboratory sector, the temperature dropped sharply threatening to crystalize their breath.
Deiniol suppressed a shudder and clenched his hands tightly taking care not to bend or wrinkle the documents he was holding.
They passed by door after door until reaching Laboratory 004.
Bracing himself, he unlocked the heavy deadbolt and pulled out an iron key imprinted with the Academy's coat of arms.
The door swung open with a rusty creak, rousing the slumbering creatures within.

Valeuris reacted to their movement, minute gears inside his biomechanical body clinked automatically as he let out a strange hiss, silencing a few of the overdue stroj present, all of which were suspended in an odd blood-coloured gelatinous substance.
Shall jumped off of her perch, marching importantly past Deiniol and snatching the papers from his hand.
Scanning through the documents quickly, she walked along the countless dark corridors of the Laboratory, stopping by a stroj container, reading the serial ID, and repeating the process until she located the 3rd year's stroj.
The case was closed by a thick metal capsule, and the prefect gestured for Deiniol to use his key on a small keyhole located near the base of the iron cocoon.

Giving her an incredulous look, he pulled out the small key hanging from a silver chain around his neck instead of snatching the papers back.
Insert, twist, click.
The mechanism groaned to life, hissing with compressed steam as it opened at the seams to reveal the tube inside.
Suspended in the same near-fluorescent goop as the other strojs had been, a figure with the soft features of a female opened her eyes awoken by the noise, the unnatural sharp green irides visible through the translucent red.
As Deiniol approached clambering onto the work stool, she curled up sinking lower in the tube. Her long bladed braid remained floating in a lopsided spiral above her head.
"Hey, Claer," he whispered, pressing his hands against the thick glass.
Claer smiled warmly and mirrored the action.

Shall stood to the side, arms typically crossed, feigning disinterest. From the corner of her eye, she examined the boy's stroj.
A female? she thought, annoyed. Another memory flashed through her mind, of her father and mother.
She gripped her arm sharply to jolt herself out of her thoughts, feeling her insides churn painfully. She thought about her medicine, which lay in a container in her own dorm and sighed with distaste.
Shall let the 3rd year fawn over his creation for a minute longer before nudging Valeuris in the side. The stroj shook his head, apparently in a stand-by mode. The startled creature made a loud clanking noise as his claw hit the glass of the container.
Shall let that sound break the boy's.. stupor and she shifted through his documents.
"Mmh. Stroj container 59203, to be released on this date.." She scratched out something written on the papers and rewrote it. Moving from her spot in the corner, she sharply tapped a small lever in the side of the container with her pen, letting the glass sink into the ground to let the boy's stroj out, and walked past.
"Deiniol. Behind the stroj containers there's a closet. Pick out what you wish as a temporary outfit to.. clothe your creation. You will report to the main hallway at 7:00 sharp, and you will begin your real classes."
Shall snapped her fingers, waiting only a moment for Valeuris to come trotting towards her.
Now that this kid had a stroj, she better start learning his name.
