[Champion Concept Preview] Carniv, the Techmaturgical Nightmare

The decrepit building was unimposing, especially to one as daring as the investigator. He couldn't understand what made the Zaunite citizens avidly avoid this particular establishment. There were worse places in the city-state, like Dr. Mundo's workshop, that people visited regularly. This place seemed like paradise, in fact.

However, he quickly noticed the flickering lights. Sparks flew from various gash marks on the wall. A sign read "Out of Order" in one room, and the open curtains revealed only darkness. The investigator fought the urge to shine his flashlight inside for curiosity's sake, as he came here only for a small set of documents and a recording. This room didn't feature anything that would suggest an office.

He soon found what he was looking for, but was puzzled at the fact that the camera feeds were still working. The rest of the building seemed to lack power. As he stuffed the documents into his pocket, he paused. Training his ear, he noticed footsteps. Turning around, his instincts took over. Ducking into the office, he shut the door behind him, sparing a fleeting moment to process what he saw. The only details he could recall were canine-like ears, a massive jaw, and wires protruding from where the right hand should have been. Peering out the window to his door, he could see its form in better light. It appeared to walk as a man, but numerous evidences of decay were evident in the metal workings and outer cloth. What disturbed the investigator most was the message he saw on the wall behind the monstrosity: "It's me."
