Tattered Note

I wasn't sure about the constructs at first.

These new techniques may be less extreme than those of eccentrics like Galvino, but it gets harder to remember that once the hulking things are moving around like large, noisy, witless dolls.

The constructs require daily maintenance, and they make the workers uncomfortable.

Still, they've been an effective deterrent to the local wildlife, and I have to admit I've started to feel safer with one of them standing nearby while I work.

Oderisi despises the things, and avoids them if possible. That alone is a considerable benefit.
