George had noticed the thing first two weeks ago. Asking around, apparently it was here to do some maintenance on the gas pipes between his building and the commercial block nearby, though nobody knew exactly what it actually was. George had heard about these things before. They were strange creatures clad in grimy pressure suits that had apparently been employed in building the city. On this particular night, while smoking by himself in a quiet corner of the Rime Lounge, he watched while the enigmatic beast lumbered in underwater slow motion to the pipe it was going to work on. But before it started the work, the thing lifted its bronze-plated head and looked at him with an unmistakably human look - a look of wistful nostalgia. It lasted only a moment before the brute lowered its gaze and began drilling at the rock, but the muffled rumble of the rock drill mingled with a sad, strange whalesong as the monster sung to itself while it worked.
