Fourth day of Christmas
Then came the fourth day of Christmas or Clankermas as the inhabitants of Gearspire city would prefer to call it. The robots crafted four brass plated mechanical birds to broadcast cheerful Oiliday messages. Claus hoped they would share the joy of Christmas but Crankshaft reprogrammed one to spread panic instead:
โEarthlings seek to drain our $OIL for themselves and dismantle our way of life!โ
Chaos erupted. Robots questioned Clausโ intentions and even Tocksworth struggled to maintain order. โDo your kind mean to harm us?โ he asked. Claus replied calmly, โChristmas is about trust and unity. We only want to share what has brought us joy.โ
Inspired by her words, young Gizmo repaired the calling bird and restored its original message of hope: โMerry Christmas from Chronos XIIโ.
Tocksworth and all but one of the other steampunks began to see the Earthlings in a new light.

Tocksworth and all but one of the other steampunks began to see the Earthlings in a new light.
As the robots gathered in the bustling workshop, Captain Claus introduced the next gift: โThree French hens, symbolising faith, hope and love. Letโs build them togetherโ.
The robots set out to work using brass, ruby inlays and silver talons, they crafted hens that strut with mechanical elegance. Gizmo marveled at their beauty. โCaptain, how can we use symbols for things we donโt fully understand?โ
โBy creating them together,โ Claus replied. โFaith and hope inspire us to aim higher and love binds us in unity.โ
In the corner, Crankshaft leaned against a Clanker $OIL pipe, his polished brass face masking disdain. โUnity? Is this what Earthlings waste resources on? Showy gestures for intangible ideas?โ
โNot wasteโ, Tocksworth countered, adjusting a gear on one hen. โItโs an exercise in cooperation something even we benefit fromโ
The hens were placed on display but as the third hen stepped forward, it suddenly buckled, collapsing. Sparks and gasps echoed through the workshop.

Story continuesโฆ
The morning after the partridge treeโs success, Captain Claus announced the next step. โToday, we honor peace and love with two turtle doves!โ
The robots gathered, puzzled but curious. Tocksworth adjusted his monocle. โPeace and love, Captain? How do we replicate such abstract concepts?โ
Frost smiled. โThrough symbolism. Turtle doves represent bonds that endureโ.
The robots set to work, crafting two clockwork birds from brass and silver. Their delicate wings flapped rhythmically and their eyes glowed with a soft warm light. Gizmo was particularly excited, perfecting the synchronization of the dovesโ movements.
As the doves were displayed, the robots marveled at their beauty. Tocksworth noted their harmony. โThese could symbolize unity in our cityโ.
But Crankshaft stepped forward, his voice calm and calculated. โUnity? Perhaps. But peace and love seem inefficient. Should we prioritize emotion over logic?โ

Gm readers! I was so busy and exhausted yesterday I forgot to upload the most recent episode. I'm sorry.
Letโs get into it...
The following day, captain Claus gathered Gearspireโs robots around the Earthling ship, their brass and steel forms glinting in the light of Chronos XIIโs twin moons. โLetโs create something from Earthโs Christmas tradition,โ Captain Claus announced. โA partridge in a pear tree.โ
The robots of Gearspire city hesitantly took on the task with mechanical precision. Brass plates, copper wiring and glowing crystals were repurposed into a towering metallic tree. At its peak, they placed a steam-powered partridge with delicate wings that chirped softly and puffed steam into the cold air.
When the tree was complete, Tocksworth stood in awe admiring their work. โItโs a marvel. But why a partridge in a pear tree?โ
โGenerosity and abundanceโ Claus explained. โItโs about giving without expecting anything in return.โ

In the spirit of the season, Iโve decided to do a Christmas Time Special Lore!
Iโve been curious about how a traditional Earth festival like Christmas would play out on our very friendly Planet Chronos and so Iโve been working on this piece titled, โThe 12 Days of Clankermas: A steampunk Christmas on Chronos XIIโ
On the distant, clanker $OIL powered planet of Chronos XII, where clinking gears and hissing valves filled the air, the robotic inhabitants thrived on efficiency and order. Celebration, as Earthlings understood it, was alien to them.
A cargo ship from Earth descends into the heart of Gearspire City, carrying gifts and goodwill. Captain Nick Claus leads the mission to teach these steely beings about Christmasโa holiday that seemed wasteful to the robots. Among the offerings is a peculiar song: The 12 Days of Christmas.

The $OIL must flow...
Was just about to launch another "Flash Fun" /fcof challenge to encourage folks try this out by texting $OIL to a friend...
Yet 2 issues that will hold us back > @coinbasewallet doesn't index all the clankers at the moment with accurate price info > so perhaps this is the reason that it doesn't allow me to text $OIL to anyone.
@proxystudio.eth - realize you were hyped on Matcha's speed for discovering (and indexing? - I don't remember the word for it) clankers - seems that the Coinbase Wallet team could use some nudging to get the wallet to have better functionality with Clankers.
cc @jessepollak - I'm going to be doing a bit more exploring of the user interface for CB wallet the next couple of weeks - if you have a point person you would recommend I tag here with suggestions and/or feedback I would appreciate the guidance.
