Her teeth are shards of cracked glass, protruding at odd angles from her gums. "It's not just the teeth," she says, with a brusque air that brooks no sympathy. "D__ned Sun turned my bones as well. Terrible nuisance really. It gets in the way of work." You notice her fixed neck, her stiff limbs, her careful movements. "It's not too bad," she says. "Good thing I like soup."</div> <ul> </ul> | |- | {{effect title|Bring three Permits to the Broken Steward}} <div>One to authorise the release of the Half-Glass Empty.

"Seems to be in order," she says. "I don't know why we were tasked with keeping prisoners here anyway. As far as I'm concerned, my job is to keep the bally lights on, not mess around in politics. Come on. I need to supervise releases personally, not that it's ever come up before." Her mouth is a grim line as she re-dons her helmet.

An engine that beats like a heart. Pipes and wires criss-cross in ways that defy perspective. Cogs turn in both directions at once. You begin to develop a headache. The Steward is sitting in meditative silence, a cup of cold tea on the table beside her. She stands to greet you, slow and careful.

Two words, repeated thousands of times, often misspelled, eventually running into a single garbled stream. The Similarly-Dazzled Steward smiles a little too brightly.
