Encounter Conditions
Not much progress on animatronic construction during Halloween 2022?
Initial Text
A strange display of scaffolding seems to be intended to represent a quadruped more than support anything else here. Still, why the janitors aren't concerned by people building a statue in their territory is anyone's guess.

Choice Text and Results
Examine it
Checking over the supports, you're fairly sure you could make them with enough polysteel and a welding torch. It would take some time, but nothing too serious.
And, presumably:
You've learned a new armory recipe: Polysteel Support - Melt together eight handfuls of Polysteel into a support pole
Climb in it
You clamber over the supports. They crackle ominously and one of the connectors slips out, dumping you back to the ground.
Well, even if you shouldn't be climbing it, the animatronic still has a ways to go.
You take 3 damage.
You've earned 4 XP in Reflexes
Reinforce the joints
There isn't much around other than duct tape, but that's probably enough for the job at hand. You wrap a joint until it's a slightly sticky but far stronger mass.
You've earned 2 XP in Will
Prop a polysteel support
You clamber over the supports. They creak and groan, but hold up surprisingly well.
You've earned 4 XP in Strength
(Lose 1 polysteel support)
Add an animatronic motor
It takes some fine effort to wire in the tiny motor, but even by itself it is enough to move some of the smaller supports.
You've earned 4 XP in Reflexes
(Lose 1 animatronic motor)
Leave it be
You ignore it, passing a few janitors that seem inclined to do the same.
