About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. A delivery driver pulled up to Foreign Body Works one morning, frowning as he carried in a large box. Something felt off—there was an odd humming sound coming from inside the garage. As he opened the box, a tiny robotic arm popped out and started waving hello. Turns out, it was just a new diagnostic tool for the shop’s owner—a prank from his tech-savvy neighbor. Everyone had a good laugh over coffee that morning.

2. Late one night, a delivery driver pulled up to Foreign Body Works, puzzled by an eerie humming sound coming from inside the workshop. The mechanic, half-asleep and groggy, emerged from the back room, rubbing his eyes. ‘Just my new stereo,’ he yawned. The delivery driver blinked, confused. Then they both looked down—the source of the noise was a tiny robot vacuum cleaner, cleaning under the workbench.}

3. A mechanic arrived early one morning to find an old, dusty suitcase sitting on the workbench. Curious, he opened it and discovered a collection of strange tools—none he'd ever seen before. Confused but intrigued, he tried each tool on his toolbox until he found one that fit perfectly with a rusted bolt. That evening, a regular brought in his car for routine maintenance, only to discover the mechanic humming an unfamiliar tune while working. 'What's that?' asked the customer. ‘Oh,’ said the mechanic, grinning, 'just testing out some new instruments from my mysterious case.'

4. A little boy walked into Foreign Body Works, pointing excitedly at something under the hood of a car. ‘Dad,’ he whispered, ‘I think that’s a dinosaur!’ The mechanic looked down and laughed. 'No son,' he said, 'that's just our old carburetor.' The dad smiled and explained, 'Well, it looks like one from Jurassic Park!' From then on, whenever anyone mentioned dinosaurs, everyone at Foreign Body Works would point to the carburetor and laugh.
