Bigsby is the inventor of the Wonderclaw games, which he runs in the NC Mall.
And that'll do it! Another machine nearly finished. Just a few more steps and the Wonderclaw arcade will be ready for operation!
I do? Oh dear. I'm afraid the arcade isn't open yet, chum. But never fear, I'm on schedule to get everything operating soon. Just a few more adjustments to the machines left to go, but I'm a few cogs short of a clock at the moment, I'm afraid. It'll take me some time to get the parts I need, so in the meantime, I'll have to ask you to-
Buh- Wha? Nigel, I understand the impatience, but I can't work with what I don't have! And it'll take a few weeks for me to get the Wondercogs I need, and then put them in place and make sure everything's working...
A deal, you say? Well, if our friend here is amenable to it... it would certainly save me a few ticks to have your help fetching some of the parts I need!
Wondercogs.
... Goodness, he's a quick wheel-and-dealer. But he's an honest Chia, and a good friend, so I promise he's good for his word. As am I! So thank you in advance for helping me out. Shall I tell you now where you can help me find the first Wondercog I need?
Brr, it's cold in here! That's what I get for fixing the arcade's AC first... Actually, that reminds me I haven't visited my old friend on Terror Mountain in a while. It's because I'm not a fan of the cold, but I really should stop by his workshop sometime soon. He might be able to help me tinker with these machines!
Hrm... I've been struggling a little bit with this machine here. I'm missing a particular shape of cog that's not easy to get; it's take a special bit of magic to just find one. We may need to consult an expert craftsperson to make us one custom instead. You wouldn't happen to know any artificers, would you?
This machine's nearly ready, but its internal mechanism is made of a very particular type of mineral. In fact, I'd go so far as to say it's not of this world! We'll have to search high and low to get the metal we need, but even if we find it, we may not be authorised to take any home...
Oh confound it, this machine's got my head all spun around! Even without the missing Wondercog, I can't make heads or tails of what's gone wrong, and it feels like I'm just running in circles. Maybe it's time I took a break and did something to make me happy.
Excuse me, chum, but is the Merry Go Round out of service today?
Have you ever gone deep-sea diving before? I must say, there was a time I was hooked on it! Saw all sorts of ruins, too - makes me wonder if we'd be able to find any scrap metal we could use on the ocean floor. Of course, we'd need a way to pull it up to the surface...
That's odd, I could have sworn I ordered the parts I needed for this machine... Wondercogs don't come cheap, you know, and the shipping was exorbitant! I can't believe - ah, hold on a second, it seems I forgot to have it delivered to this address. It'll still be at the depot. Would you mind picking it up for me?
Whew! Almost done. Just one more Wondercog and this machine will be ready to go. The good news is: I have one right here! But the bad news is that it's... a little worse for wear. Nothing a tinkerer couldn't fix, though, especially if they've got a hot forge to work with, and access to a well-equipped workshop. It may be time to visit another old friend of mine - thankfully, this one makes their home where it's hot!
The heat of Moltara is something else!
I understand full well, old chum. Fortunately, with the Wondercogs our friend here has helped me get, I've been able to finish off the last of the machines! We're ready to get back to business!
You do that. I'll open the arcade!
I can't thank you enough for all your help in fixing the Wonderclaw machines. I've been wanting to get my arcade up and running again for a long time now, and without your help - and Nigel's investment - I don't think I ever could have made this dream a reality. I don't have much to thank you with, but please, take this Widget to play one of the Wonderclaw machines with. I've replenished all the prizes, so you should be able to pull something nice with it! I'll place it in your inventory, so come see me in the NC Mall's Wonderclaw Arcade whenever you'd like to use it.
