Industrial Research Laboratory
Main House (Scarlioni Estate)

Count Scarlioni's Private Laboratory

A cavernous industrial space beneath the Scarlioni Estate, its high ceilings lost in shadow beneath a dense network of pipes and conduit. Emergency lighting in flickering failure casts a sickly amber glow over benches cluttered with oscilloscopes, holographic projectors, and misshapen temporal devices. The air carries the metallic tang of refined temporal energy mingled with the acrid burn of failing capacitors and the sharp sting of overheated solder. Emergency lighting flickers unpredictably, throwing the gleaming skeleton of the half-built time machine—and its pulsing violet energy arcs—into stark relief. The floor is marred by dark stains and uneven repairs, the walls scarred by rapid experimentation. In the corners, Hermann keeps watch over the rolled Mona Lisa like a trophy, while Scarlioni moves through the space like a conductor over a dangerous orchestra. Every surface tells of reckless innovation pressed into the service of temporal conquest.
