To see Doktor Dyper, reformed sniper...

It starts with the touching.

He's never seen Stannif's hands - given how important hand gesture is to communication and genuflection within the Praetorium, it's surprising, but given Stannif's pseudo-obsequious nature, it makes perfect sense.

The cool, almost unassuming texture of the skin is the same as any other (not that Minoth would be surprised if Stannif had abrased off his own fingerprints), but the shorter nails reveal at least some practicality about the secretive scientist.

Also revealed: he hates, hates, hates it.

You don't just hate something like this for no reason.

Architect. It's only gonna get worse from here.
