Petri couldn't tell how he eventually made it to the private crafting rooms. Honestly, it felt more like Grey led them there than the other way around, as though he had never really needed his lead in the first place.
Grey seemed to have intimate familiarity with the city that didn't make sense for someone who was only coming here for the first time. But there was thorough documentation of everyone who came in and out of the city, and there was no way Grey could have slipped through unnoticed.

The one thing Petri didn't disclose was that he himself was a mech tech. In fact, so, too, was The Boundless. Pandro didn't have the patience for it, but their master had always wanted him to learn. It was just difficult to do so with his… affliction.
