Foreman's Brood

 is a side quest in Torment: Tides of Numenera.

Synopsis
The Crippled Foreman wants to transfer its life force into tiny metallic children that it has built. So far, it's been unable to transfer sufficient power, so it asked for my help. If the power transfer succeeds, the children will live, but the Crippled Foreman will die.
