Artifact Restoration, Tuesday 2nd Period
The Danger Shop did not resemble the workshop today, instead looking like some kind of large games room, and Aphra was lounging casually in a way that implied that she certainly hadn't been beating on the controls not thirty seconds before.
"Metaphor time!" Aphra said, far, far, too cheerfully. "Sometime fixing an artifact you've found is more like putting together a puzzle where you not only don't have a picture on the box, but you have no box, and you're not sure you have all the pieces, and there are pieces of something else there too, and halfway through you realise you've been putting it together wrong because it's actually a completely different kind of puzzle. Then it explodes."
She gestured to the table in the middle of the room, which was indeed piled high with a giant heap of puzzle pieces. "So you'll be doing that today. Without that exploding part." Probably.
