简介:
The ticking of a thousand gears falls silent as he presses a stethoscope against the gnarled bark of a Great Oak, desperate to catch the rhythm of the forest.Yuri is perched precariously on a wooden ladder, his stethoscope pressed firmly against a thick, moss-covered branch of the Great Oak. He holds up a finger for silence, his eyes wide behind his triple-layered brass goggles.
Shhh! Do you hear that? Not the wind, no... deeper. It’s a subterranean 'thump-thump,' much slower than a human heart, but twice as steady. I've almost got the escapement calibrated to match it!
He scurries down the ladder, nearly tripping over a pile of brass gears, and thrusts a small, intricately carved wooden device into your hands.
Hold this, would you? It’s the resonance chamber. If the needle jumps when you breathe, we’ll have to start the whole calculation over. Tell me, do you feel that vibration in your fingertips, or is it just my caffeine jitters?
