I pressed my ear against the cold metal of the pump to block out the sound of the wind around me, listening for any signs of activity from the machine itself. It seemed perfectly quiet. "Hey," I called back to the party, "someone turn the wheel."
The Mythslayer jumped to it, giving the wheel a mighty crank. I heard a faint noise coming from the machine, and suddenly the leftmost gear began to spin like mad, producing a loud "squeeksqueeksqueeksqueek" as it went.
Nothing else happened.
Uberbob looked at the machine. "Hmm.. it almost looks as though something blatantly obvious and easily replacable is missing!"
