The Machine

The Machine is the name of both a mechanism of potentially infinite size and the parallel dimension that contains it. Its age and origin is unknown, but various writings and archeological findings from across the galaxy imply it may be at hundreds of millions of years old, predating any known civilization.

Description

The parts and mechanisms of The Machine vary greatly in size and function. Most common are gears and pistons, which range from intricate hand-sized parts to monolithic building-sized slabs of metal. Pulleys of chains, hydraulic pumps, and rotating shafts also populate the moving parts of The Machine, all connected and rarely stopping.

In sharp contrast to the metal machines are the pulsing masses of flesh. Veins, muscles, and walls of skin are found webbed between the machines, forming dark, wet tunnels. The flesh is a mix of red, purple, and blue; Essence, a thin blue fluid, flows through the veins in lieu of blood. Structures and spires of bone occupy some of the more empty areas.
