Each ponderous step was slow and methodical; but of such a stride that it easily matched pace with the man to its fore. With every step gears spun up, latched and released with a whirl of motion. Gas vented and billowed out the form of a rust coloured robe, the distinctive embroidered crenellations of a cog revealed what Order the construct belonged to; but it was the…
