In a floating city of colossal gears and celestial conduits, an elf mechanist works tirelessly to repair the Unfinished Machine, a construct rumored to be older than time itself. The machine is no mere invention—it is a vast cosmic mechanism, spanning multiple dimensions, with parts that defy traditional physics: liquid gears, circuits made of frozen sound, and pistons powered by captured lightning. As she places the final star-metal cog into its slot, the machine shudders and begins to glow, revealing an intricate clockwork model of the entire universe, where each movement alters the flow of existence itself. The elf hesitates—should she turn it? What happens if she does?
