The detritus of two dead civilizations, essentially. The Batterwitch's people had more advanced robotics than humanity did before she wiped us out, so I worked with the information she left around and whatever scraps I could dig up from the ruins.

The thought behind it is all is pretty blase, accentuated by brief images only: scraping through Internet archives for knowledge, swimming through the sunken wreck of Houston, Texas to find bits and pieces of still-salvageable wire or metal.

A living source can at least respond to any questions I have, even if you don't know the answers.
