Just kidding

Nanoc snatches the last Wayfinder from the Aeon Nexus, and the party moves to relax and explore at their leisure...

...A collection of clockwork tools, shattered aeon stones and rotting piles of vellum fill the shelves in this crowded workspace. Large metal panels removed from the facility’s walls lie in the center of the room; etched into these panels are meticulous blueprints for a wayfinder identical to the one Muesello lent the party. The wayfinder has an arcane assistant activated by speaking a password last updated 3,405,829 days ago!

...the party collect as much records as they can, and head back to the ship.

"So, what did you find?" Muesello asks!

Finally, the machine winds down. Nanoc gathers evidence they might need to report back to the venture-captain.

"We stumbled upon a machine encircled by stones, emitting shards and sparks. It was guarded as well, undoubtedly the creation of a genius. Truly one-of-a-kind, I must say!" Nanoc responds to Muesello.

"And check out what we have found there." Nanoc reveals their loot of blueprints, some tools, and broken aeon stones.
