- "Well well well. This is interesting."

Agatha's first working clank, built in her sleep after her locket was stolen, from parts lying around Clay Mechanical. It was programmed with two main instructions: first, find one (or both) of the thieves by examining every person encountered; second, when a thief is found, bring him back to Clay Mechanical. As a first creation for a Spark beginning to break through, this was considered rather benign.
It's no longer in working order, as a result of a big brouhaha in the shop after Klaus and Gil track it back there, discovering and misinterpreting the presence of Agatha and Moloch von Zinzer in the process. Jägermonsters Zudok, Stosh and colleagues disable it with a Clank gun when the Search Engine moves to protect Agatha from Gil. The destruction, undoubtedly, didn't please the Baron as he had hoped to study the device and learn more about the freshly-minted Spark who'd created it. Sadly, you can't make an omelet, or a good story line, without breaking eggs, and sometimes, clanks.
