This was the first weapon she had personally designed in this world.
She wanted to feel every component click into place.
Metal slid against metal as she fitted the internal mechanisms together. Springs compressed, pins aligned, and screws tightened with crisp mechanical precision. Each movement required focus, patience, and a steady hand.
Time passed quietly.
Finally, the last component locked into place.
Kiara lifted the weapon slightly, testing its balance before handing it to the system interface for finishing procedures.
Rubber grip.
Exterior paint.
Final inspection.
A notification appeared immediately.
[Analysis finished. No errors detected. Please test the weapon for the final verification.]
The weapon returned to her hands.
