The placement of two more machines is enough to catch your attention in an instant, but more eye-catching than those even is your husktop. You swear it just moved, and that was enough to surprise you into stopping. Still in your hands is one of your "Over the top" 17x17 Rubik's cubes. Absently, you set it down before checking your husktop. Durian's been messaging you.

Ok4y um, ok4y, yes... ok4y, I c4n, ok4y...
I'm ok4y, I 4m... I just, I c4n't...
No w4it, I c4n... I c4n, I know...
Just, it's, w4it, no...


You look away from the screen, away from the messages, and to the machines. Two of them are very clearly more complicated than the other two. You're going to start with the simpler one. Carefully, you set your husktop on the edge of the CRUXTRUDER.

I'm good, I 4m.
I'm going to try... this one first, yes.


Swiftly, you give the wheel on the front a sharp turn and send it spinning... spinning... Hmm. You're not sure this is right. You pause to look over the shape of the device. Several small screens, the wheel, and a lid. You've solved puzzles like these. Maybe there's something within?

I think I h4ve... to open it, m4ybe.
