Reyd and Aegis had just finished a bounty and were returning to the workshop when they came across a Warforged, deactivated and forgotten. Just like Aegis was. Unwilling to simply leave it be, he carried it back to the workshop, hoping that the combined knowledge of the people there are able to help him fix it.

And yet, after several inspections, they realized that it was impossible, for the construct was missing many of its internal components, including the 'brain'. Probably salvaged by someone else during the however long time it had been laying out there.

Honestly, Aegis was about ready to scrap the construct, but Welt came up with another idea. After all, this was an empty body, and there's someone there who currently doesn't possess a body.

And so, after several days of hard work from everyone in the workshop (including Ludger, who's retired from the adventuring life now that he's paid back his living costs and is now working as a chef), they managed to craft something. An item that'd allow Reyd to pilot the body remotely instead of having to un-fuse her from Aegis.

"Ha! So, this is what it feels like to move around. Hey, big guy, train me. I want to punch stuff."
