The 2021 year Inktober. It was the first time I participated in this challenge, and it became a start of the current project of mine, the "Phase shift" story I'm still working on

1. Crystal.
   "Of course, the processing unit is a beautiful thing, a perfection in silicon crystal. But it was completely useless for my task and goal. However, I'm too stupid to improve them..."

2. Suit.
   "A mad engineer."
   "I don't care, have to work."

3. Vessel.
   "When you need to combine such different things, living tissue and artificial elements, and not just to get the result work in no-matter-how-but-should-work style, but to make it work like it normally should work, you're constantly getting a lot details to think on. Especially, when you're working on bio-mechanical creature."

4. Knot.
   "I HATE THOSE BLOODY WIRES!!"
   "Oh, the same again..."

5. Raven.
   "Nonsense. Some paradoxical absurd. Paradox... raven paradox. Combinatorix..."
   "You need some rest. Here, take the apple."

6. Spirit.
   "You WILL clean all that mess yourself. I'm over it!"

7. Fan.
   "OMG, what is that? What is that crazy thing on that angle grinder?"
   "See, I said. You have to be crazy to create such ideas, ahah!"
   "I wonder how and where do you find all that nonsense..."

8. Watch.
   "Tired?"
   "You can't imagine how much."
   "So take a break and watch how things going."
   "Sometimes you're making me angry with your wisdom..."
   "...and with the fact, that this is your own wisdom."
   "Shut up, please."
   "And watch the sunset."
