Thomson Industries

[Detective100]

It has been dark, daunting days for the people of Audhild. People taking the time to mourn, to grief for the fallen.
Yet during those very days, at a house on the west corner of Audhild?
Lights can be seen flashing from the upper floor during the night. 
the sounds of hammer knocking on nail and metal, of a roaring drill, and crackling electricity. 
In those days of mourning, with the rubbles of the Langslay district still fresh and visible on the horizon?
A young boy got to work, with but a few scant moments of rest.



Eventually, a new notice has been placed upon the board in Audhild by the very same boy, explaining the disturbance:

---

"Greetings all, I'm Benjamin Thomson. Some of you might know me, some may not.
With the passing of Zemheri, Audhild has lost a man of great wisdom, experience, and knowledge. A man many saw like a father figure, with me hoping to look up to him as a mentor for my studies.

With him gone, a hole has opened up in the city in his absence.
I am not anywhere near his skill, nor do I have the same knowledge he had.
However, for us to move forward? To reach a brighter future and keep Audhild standing?
We all have to make an effort, and this mine:

I'm opening up a lab in my house's upper floor, to assist the people of Audhild in whatever kind creations and gadgets they'll might need.
I want the Audhild to remain a luxury, life, dreamers, art, merchantmanship, and craft.
Thus, I'll be doing my part.

I'll be taking requests from people outside of Audhild too.
Depending on the kind of request however? I may ask for coin in compensation as I'll need it to keep the lab running and to eventually work on my own projects."

And with that written down? Time for me to get back to work, for Audhild and Science's sake.

For now, the flashes of light, and tumultuous sounds from the house's upper floor continue...
