You take the [Crushed Insignia Dial Locket] and head over to Overland Metalworks and make your way to the fourth floor, where the large, metallic machine meant for jewelry repair and reconstruction is located. Once you find it, you lay out all the pieces upon the tray and then press the startup button.

The machine is loud when it starts up and makes a lot of noise, but you figure for a machine like this, there's likely a lot of mechanisms and motors running to make the repair process possible. You watch as the metallic tray slides into the machine and the reconstruction process begins.

As expected, the process isn't quick by a lot shot. As you watch and listen to the machine do its work, you notice it works in phases. At one moment, you hear what sounds like a grinding noise coming from the bottom, then that stops, which is then followed by a whirring noise coming from the upper assembly, the machine then beeps two times with several output lights coming on with another one flashing, followed by a whole other series of noises and output signals over the course of what feels like an hour. The whole time, you're wondering if this machine is able to really able to pull this repair job off, or if this locket was really just too damaged beyond repair and not even this machine can handle its reconstruction.

After an hour of waiting and lots of noise, the mechanisms stop, the machine goes quiet, and a lower tray slides out of the machine before you. On it is the locket, now fully repaired. You're quite surprised this machine managed to complete the job considering how utterly destroyed the locket was just an hour ago.

You pick it up and examine the locket to discover it is now in perfect condition, as if nothing ever happened to it in the first place. But you notice something on it that you never thought would be on a locket like this, so you examine it further.

On the locket itself, there is a series of three metallic insignia dials. You turn the dials clockwise and counterclockwise and discover it's a clockwork-like mechanism. As you turn the dials, different shapes and designs form and change on the front of the locket, very much like turning a kaleidoscope. It then hits you that this is meant to function exactly like a combination lock and the correct symbol will actually work as a key.

You look over all the possible symbols that can be created by during the dials. You're instantly reminded of the Material Logbook that was found earlier, and you're for certain that the symbol that was depicted in that book links to this Insignia Dial Locket. However, it's been a few days and you don't remember it by heart, so you know you're going to need to use the book as reference when turning the dials to the correct setting to make sure the locket works correctly when used as a key.

Item [Crushed Insignia Dial Locket] has been turned into [Repaired Insignia Dial Locket: Logbook Confirmation].

You decide to head back to base and let others know what has transpired.
