[IC] New Crobuzon & the World Beyond

"The strength and quality of the final product depends upon those same qualities of the material which they are forged.  The quality of the chitin from this individual is quite high -- likely from being exceptionally more formidable than the creatures it preyed upon. But it's strength is not as sturdy as say, a siege beetle."

While rolling up the cuffs of his coat, Creel sighs loudly and says, "Well, enough of me prattling on.  Lets get to this shall we."

Creel begins to quickly and expertly dissect the chitin from the creature's body.  Despite the corpse being kept preserved there's still an unwelcome odor that fills the room from the various fluids its alien organs produce.  Creel bottles many of them as well as the stranger organs for later study.  When he's done his coat looks like he rolled around in a slaughterhouse. 

Then clearing his thoat, Creel begins to chant the Thematurgy upon the separated chitin.  Slowly, over the next ten minutes, the best pieces of chitin begin to piece themselves together.  Knitting seamlessly with one another to form the plates that cover the shoulders, chest, head and abdomen.  When finally finished, Creel steadies himself with the table and whispers, "It's done.  A fine piece of work if I do say so myself."
