[bgcolor=black]Iscon's side also peels back... and so it goes until the hole is at least wide enough to start dismantling parts of the machine. Through all of the mechanisms of the engine inside, something glows faintly green.

Ruin peers through the machine trying to find out what was giving off the green glow. He knew Li wanted the engine that contained it, and delicate dismantling wasn't really his specialty. He stepped back, looking to the puppeteer.
"Alright then puppeteer, You get the engine, I get whatever is glowing green inside of there. I'm assuming you want the engine intact, so as for getting the thing out, I'll leave that one to you. Your dolls seem to be plenty small for this kind of thing anyway."

Strifeman steps back a bit, giving off a low whistle.
Strifeman: We don't know what's in there, for all we know it could be some sort of poisonous gas, or raw energy, or something else that could do something horrible.

Ruin turned to Strifeman, his face indifferent to the situation. He spoke in a rather rude but serious tone, there was no hint of joke or sarcasm.
"Do you think I care? Regardless of what it is, I want it. If whoever built this felt fit to contain it, then its power must be something to behold. I want that power for myself."

Strifeman was moving, even as he spoke.
Strifeman: Well, while you do that, I'm gonna stand over here.
He hid behind a large boulder about 100 yards away.

A couple of dolls went on through the parts of the exposed engine parts to retrieve whatever what was inside the thing, however he sent in more to begin to dismantle the engine part by part to speed up the process and to expose whatever was in there.

[bgcolor=black] ((To expand on what you guys can do today, I break my mental track! But it's okay, because I'm getting mentally burnt atm...))
The engine all but falls apart as the dolls work, and there are several near misses as pipes and pistons come apart uncontrollably at the slightest touch. More smoke spews from the machine. Inside, it's evident that many of the deeper portions were blown away from whatever explosion damaged the exterior.
All motions grind to a halt. After several minutes, the dolls return with prize in hand: A Cracked Green Crystal. The glow is fading fast, but the air around it sparks with power.[/color]

Strifeman comes out of his hiding spot, walking over to the group.
Strifeman: That's it? No explosions? No toxic gas?

Ruin picks up the crystal from the dolls, feeling the power it emits even as its glow fades. He wonders why its cracked but pays little mind to it. He had what he wanted, though he knew not what it was.
"It looks almost like Mystery Data, but its more solid and concrete than that. Its power is also nothing like any mystery data I've seen. Still, I've got what I want."
Ruin examined the crystal closer, seeing if there was any visable way to transfer its power to him. Or even what the nature of the power was. Something that looked so harmless, why must it be contained. He had to try something though. Ruin wondered if he could access it like Mystery data could be...
<Access>

He notices the crack and remembers something eerily similar.
Strifeman: Um... I'm just gonna be the voice of reason here. That's probably not a good idea.

As he continued to attempt to access the flawed crystal, and though he addressed Strifeman, he made no move to show that he did.
"Had one of those once, got rid of it."

Strifeman thinks about this for a minute.
Strifeman: Fine, get blown up, see if anyone cares.

[bgcolor=black]In Ruin's attempts to access it, the crystal's cracks simply expand. There's no sense of data in it, just a fading power.

Strifeman:hm... so the engine was sealing the power that was leaking from those cracks.
He starts thinking to himself, wondering why something so powerful was inside of a mining engine.

Li's dolls continued to dismantle the engine by each individual part and upon doing so they each disappeared with the part, and soon they began to take parts attached to the machine, the cables and other possibly useful parts. A few of his dolls did not disappear, as they were the ones orbiting around him.
Obviously your voice of reason is gone like your brain. Perhaps you should store the crystal instead of leaving it exposed. You can clearly see it's going to break.
His eyes gleamed when he thought of what why a crystal of that size was in the engine. And he snickered to himself when he dwelled upon the subject in his head.
(It seems I'm the one who actually got the treasure, ha-ha!)
And with that Li went around looking...for other parts to this engine and similar ones like it.
Creepy pickaxe-person, you seen anything like the engine elsewhere?
