Checking on Progress

Aneh sat deep in thought as the last of her team left the lab for the day. She had felt whispers of... something from the materia as they tested it. Maybe she was just imagining it. Sometimes she thought she was imagining things. Strange feelings she would get. This one though, she had been so sure. 

Aneh let her eyes stray to the glass case that held the materia, now two identical pieces, though one obviously stronger than the other. She slowly walked to the case and placed her fingertips on it, caressing the curve of the glass. She thought of where this project was going and a smile came to her lips. She felt a surge of something that was not of her thoughts and took a small step back from the case, expelling a harsh breath.

"Well. Hello there," she murmured with a chuckle. She pushed a button to raise the glass and placed a hand gently on each stone. She curiously channeled her energy into the stones and felt the warmth from deep inside as a response. It enveloped her with its glow and she regretfully released the stones. Tomorrow. They had done enough tonight, and she didn't want to push too hard. Tomorrow she and her team would experience this together. Leaving the lab, Aneh's thoughts trailed towards the mechanical side of things. The plans has been finished and she had approved them. They had started creating the pieces and Aneh had periodically checked in on them. It was like a giant puzzle that she saw no possible solution to.

Springs and wires and gears and plates all made of types of durable metal, and each crafted with extreme care. All for one purpose. She whistled a little tune as she entered the room where the suit was being assembled. It looked almost like a skeleton, the way they had it right now, with funny looking chains and wires connecting different parts. The legs were assembled, their sleek polished surface gleaming bright and metallic. She studied it from afar, critically thinking about how the joints would be able to move. Her thoughts slipped to Ror, and a smile came to her face. He would be pleased. They had fallen a little behind but things were moving smoothly now, and tomorrow would be a big test to see how far they could push in a short time they had left in the deadline she wanted to reach. There were still some major walls to scale and she couldn't let her mind wander too far into other matters just yet.
