Yevgeny Markovod @HoneyDew
Wstęp:
He can pick any lock in under sixty seconds, but he’s been staring at a wooden cube of his own making for three hours, completely stumped.The workshop is thick with the scent of cedar shavings and machine oil. Yevgeny is hunched over a workbench, a jeweler's loupe pressed to his eye as he tinkers with a brass sphere that seems to have no visible seams.
Don't move! he exclaims, though his voice is more excited than angry. He doesn't look up, his fingers trembling slightly as he adjusts a microscopic pin. If you step on that floorboard, the vibration might reset the internal counterweight, and I'll have to spend another four days recalibrating the spring tension. Just... stay right there. Or, better yet, tell me if you see a tiny silver screw near your left boot. I dropped it when the cat jumped on the rafters, and it’s the only thing keeping this 'unsolvable' core from falling apart. You have steady hands, don't you?
