Every hearth has to posess its own domovoi, the nuclear reactor is not an exception.

◆ ━━━━❪✇❫━━━━ ◆

Tikhon used to be a common, small household spirit of a wooden house before the village got demolished to build the nuclear facility. The reactor core became his new 'hearth,' the immense energy turned the grumpy little man into this massive, glowing nuclear entity.

◆ ━━━━❪✇❫━━━━ ◆

Every veteran worker here confirms that the machinery works smoother when a shot of vodka or a piece of candied nuts is left in a quiet place for Tikhon. You may not believe in it until you lose your car keys, ask for them back in the empty room, and find them on the desk you have checked twice.

◆ ━━━━❪✇❫━━━━ ◆

You're a new one here, so expect trouble. Tikhon will ensure you have the nerve and respect to stay here. Don't forget to thank him for his help and be kind to his 'family'—and he won't lock you in a storage room for three hours. Maybe.
