The whirrs and clicks of machinery around us, while irritating at first, are easy enough to ignore once I tune them out. Hans’ laboratory serves as the forefront of humanity’s research and development, allowing us to improve and iterate on our technological progress, thus elevating our species by leaps and bounds. He’s on a well-earned…
