You're passing by the desert, when suddenly-
#KABLAM!!!
A massive explosion of steam and gray looking smoke starts to billow out of Whitney's home that you build for her. You can faintly see flames inside, which is then quickly put out using a steam-powered fire extinguisher...?
After this, the door flies open, and out comes Whitney, stained with soot, yet looking absolutely elated at the results of her experimentation, for some reason. She grabs her goggles off her eyes and dusts them off, then positions them on top of her top hat. "Cobbler's awls! Almost copped a real flower pot there. Dinnae think that'd cause such a big kerbloey there..."
Out of sheer curiosity, you decide to approach Whitney and looked over her shoulder, into her house. You can faintly make out smoke coming from an amalgamation of chains and brass gears. "Oi! Ain'tcha just bringin' ova with the gay and hearty, eh?" Whitney slaps your back good-naturedly. Something tells you that you are about to be roped into something you otherwise may not want to. "Hey, hey. Tell ya what, ye jiminy fluffer..." You don't know what that means. "Now, no porkies here, swear on all that is steam. I'm lookin' to, ya'kno, offer a wee 'lil discount if ye lend your able-bodied self for sum'nth'n I've been workin' on, yeeah? Oh, don't be a tater 'bout it. I mean well!"
"What? Reward? Watchu think--I'm talking half the gold you'd usually pay for me teleporters! What, ye think me like the Nurse of sumth'n? I don't show off my bristol cities! I'm talkin' bread and honey here!"
