Panic fills the air as Zeb(1) ominously begins his countdown. The Corpo Manager's face contorts in fear, and he urgently shouts, "All right, all right! We're leaving!" The Corpo Guards scramble to pack up their belongings, their movements quick and frantic. Within moments, the group is in full retreat, scrambling into armored vehicles and speeding away. The road is now clear, and Zeb(1) stands alone on the deserted wasteland road.

Zeb(1) glares at the Corpo Manager, a nervous and inept figure clutching his clipboard. The manager stammers, sweat beading on his forehead. "N-no, no need for that! Let's talk this out, shall we? I'm sure we can reach a peaceful agreement, right?" He tries to sound confident, but his trembling voice betrays his fear.

The object forge hums to life as Zeb(1) approaches it with the request. The robotic arms inside begin to move, meticulously crafting the darksaber.

The hologram of Ben Brown flickers to life, and his projected image examines the tussle between wrewdison and Zeb(1) with interest. "Ah, an exciting fight indeed!" he remarks. "It's difficult to determine a clear winner. Both of you displayed great skill and determination." Ben Brown pauses for a moment, considering the outcome. "Let's call it a draw for now, my friends. But remember, in the adventures yet to come, the true winners are those who learn, grow, and forge bonds of friendship along the way."

Just provide the necessary materials and instructions, and it will make it for you. It's quite handy for acquiring gear before you embark on your adventure. Give it a try and see what you can create."
