To Ganden: Animatron Project Update

I've spent quite some time with the animatrons around Sanctuary, mostly the ones in the pumphouse since I don't have to worry about being bothered there.

Anyways, I've taken my original sketches and developed them a bit further. First however, we must talk about the costs of the project. I will need some type of workshop in order to get this done properly. The Spellguard has a really nice one, but they do not rent it out...and I doubt you would want to have dealings with them anyways. So again, a proper working space is needed.

Next we have the issue of parts. In addition to numerous amounts of cogs, gears, and liquids..each animatron will need a number of specific parts in order to be complete. The Bowels of the Machine are a prime area for salvaging said parts, and I will lead several salvage expeditions to retrieve the parts I need. I figure that the members of the salvage group can profit quite well from the sale of parts to the Spellguard if they are concerned about pay. Of course I will take the larger share of parts until I have the necessary amount.

Here you will find a more detailed schematic of the parts that will be used.

Finally, we have something I had in mind since I am making these for the Tigeryeye company. The metal parts would be brushed and scrubbed down to remove all the rust that is accumulated over a century or so and then treated with dye to match the colors of your company's armor. If this is something you would be interested in, let me know.

Again, if there are any questions or comments, leave them at the Crone.

Oh, before I forget, I will send you sketches of the actual animatron part units that will be needed as soon as I can get back to the Bowels and retrieve a few.
