They turn on! Light fills every joint and a little whirr hum of Fonic energy activates. The remote device on the table also blinks.
Footsteps give you a signal that a big guy is coming. It is... Selenia! He's covered in the grease and sweat of hard work and his jumpsuit is tied at his waist. Apparently he took a break to get some water.
"Everyone's inventions add to their influence here. We all make our marks in this place. Just by building it it's enough."
He picks up the remote.
"I started building something to take those apart, but they were made very... skillfully, if I do say so myself."
He flips a switch - an electrical current jolts through the inside of the arms. Outside seems to be well insulated, so unless you have something stuck in there you're just fine.
"The idea is to discourage behavior on the field that isn't constructive, and reward otherwise with increased strength."
"Oh, I'm not. Like I said, it's built to last. Even the new forge I've invented can't break it down. But building something to take it apart, that adds to my repertoire."
[man that armor is rrreally heavy all of a sudden]
"The selenias?" His smile gets softer. "The box is the invention - it's old, but it was falling apart. I recently restored it. Is designed to keep plants growing healthy. Selenias can be very delicate, so making sure they can stay strong is important. There was only one there at first, but it's been quite successful lately."

Can I find Hod from this place?

"Hod... well, you can find it. It's through the door with white columns."

One last thing, what are the selenias for?

-- You're wrong. Selenias are one of the most resilient flowers. They don't need the sunlight to bloom, and they can flourish under adversity.
They're not delicate in the slightest.

Selenia smiles.
"It's difficult to grow them here, though.
You're trying to remove the armor. Why?"

It's not needed here.

"If you like, you can help me finish the machine that counteracts it."
