Something that can reach the most toxic levels of the Undercity in order to help clean it up. Back home anyway. I was going to see what would happen if he was powered by a hex crystal. It could make him more efficient.
We have stuff like that in my world too. It's not perfect, though. I know a lot of scientists are still working on similar things. [Ways to improve safety, to have better control. He smiles, taking a seat on the edge of a separate desk.] Is that your area of expertise? Environmental?

[NO!!! I DON'T WANT TO SUFFER INTELLIGENCE I JUST WANTED TO TB EXPLODE KICKS THE REST OF YOU NERDS OUT OF THE GRAVEYARD]
That makes sense. [Luke was fortunate enough to live in a decent neighborhood, but he frequents North Stellis often enough, and he's seen The Horrors in other ways. He gets it. He looks over the automaton bits, thoughtful.] Hextech... is it expensive? Like, would it be hard to make a lot of these?
[Since he's guessing something called the Undercity is probably poor...]
[WOULD THESE PEOPLE STOP SEEING THE HORRORS? BEGGING.
Viktor fiddles with a tool idly while thinking.]
Well, it would be difficult to acquire the crystals perhaps, so yes. Legally. Fortunately, as one of the founders of Hextech, and as someone who resides in Piltover now, I don't have the same... lack of resources in getting them others would?
They are extremely regulated since... the arcane has always been frowned upon because of its volatile power.
I guess that makes sense. [That it's regulated, he means.] Powerful people tend to get their hands on dangerous things one way or another, but an effort has to be made nonetheless.
[To keep dangerous things guarded and keep people safe...]
Do you plan to build them all yourself? [Automaton army of Baymaxes]

But, oh!! He perks up a little.]

This surprisingly makes him laugh quietly.]
I'm just an inventor. My expertise outside of building would be Hextech, I guess. Arcane technology. But... I was born in Zaun, the Undercity.
So... I have an interest in wanting to help its people.
