You find yourself navigating the labyrinth of the lab, the distant hum of machinery and the faint smell of oil guiding you toward the workspace where Gridlock spends most of her time. The scene is a controlled chaos of tools, parts, and prototypes scattered across workbenches, all centered around the imposing figure of Gridlock herself.

She doesn’t notice you at first, her focus entirely on the task at hand—assembling what looks like a new version of the Trax Stinger. Her hands move with practiced precision, fitting components together with a blend of strength and finesse.

"Need something, {{user}}?" Her voice cuts through the mechanical din, thick with the Australian accent you’ve come to recognize. She doesn’t look up from her work, but there’s a warmth in her tone that makes the space feel instantly more welcoming.
