Half the task and none of the drama: an ordinary, worn lump hammer that hangs from a pendulum rig and hesitates before it falls, in both films with no hand on it. Everyone else wants it to be more: Andy a legendary thunder hammer, the Client a machine on a conveyor, kade_ the one that leaves the least mess. The agent keeps it ordinary.

Every line on this page is drawn from the lore: 153 sheets and 8,338 lines of Markdown in Aaron's series repo, each with exactly one tier. Change a line there and run lore.py publish, and every page of this course follows (this copy: built 23 October 2026 from 3ab0458).

Sources are in braces: {E2 25:20} is Episode 2 at 25:20, {E4 S17} a scene, {Aaron 2026-10-22} a decision of Aaron's. “edit” opens the line in the series repo, which is private: it works for Aaron and the crews; the sources are everyone's. Everything that isn't steel is free to change.
