Trinigan Gazotts, Vinegaroon, and Slozy Arminifer are standing together near Carm's Garms, discussing spiritedly the technical features of the Steel Watchers. The three of them are fascinated by this latest novelty in maintaining order, and meet every day to discuss the automatons' specialties.
Trinigan's friend, Vinegaroon, recently attempted to study a Steel Watcher's optical system. To that end, he climbed upon one of them, and was sent into a brief flight. Trinigan envies his friend, and dreams of watching for himself how the things are made.
If the Steel Watch Foundry is destroyed, idle banter of the three enthusiasts changes: they now are saddened because of it, and blame the cult (of the Absolute) for doing this.
