Masterpiece's Overture

Masterpiece's Overture is an Artifact in the set Marechaussee Hunter.

Description

A small tool used to adjust clockwork torque. Can be used on all manner of clockwork motors.
These would become outmoded with the arrival of Alain Guillotin's "new model" clockwork meka,
Which have themselves ceased to be "new" following several hundred years of further testing.

Now, regarding Alain Guillotin,
Before he joined, then left the Marechaussee Phantom, before finally setting up the Research Institute of Kinetic Energy Engineering,
Guillotin organized research into energy at the now-ruined Institute of Natural Philosophy.
It is said that he, throughout his life, was close to no one but his younger sister, who also served in the Marechaussee.

There are many legends concerning him. One of them is as follows—
It is said that he was able to create a thinking machine during his time at the Institute,
And used this machine to aid his sister in her work at the Marechaussee.
These statements largely come from previous colleagues of his (most of whom died fighting Elynas),
And since there was no physical evidence of it, it has never entered official record.
Once, when asked about this, he commented: "It's a great shame. There's nothing to be said."
He never again responded to any questions or inquiries relating to the matter.

Another goes as such—
In his old age, he retired from the Fontaine Research Institute to his workshop, and he would see no one.
The research he undertook in his final years was never published,
And after the matter, the only things that could be found in his personal workshop were signs that something had been built.

In latter years, these legends would function similarly to that work of Coppelius's that could not be performed to completion,
Stoking imaginations, granting inspiration, and driving ever greater efforts.
