An older dwarf using Carl's previous studio for a dungeon-AI-powered demonstration who warns Carl about the panel and return.
Dr. Ratchet prepares a workbench beside a soother, another dwarf, and a small dwarven automaton in the transformed art-contest studio. He is visiting Earth and needs the room's access to dungeon AI protocols to power his demonstration.
He recognizes that Carl is physically present and apologizes for displacing him upstairs. As Carl leaves, Ratchet advises him to keep his head down both during the panel and when he returns to the dungeon.
