It's an invasion of timelords! oh, and I was visiting your institute, took the TP in the door that opened up, and ended up permanently falling in a black void, was it meant to do that?

so here's the plan, i will have pengi mug the clockwinder to get the coin from him. I just have to convince them that the crowbars and incindiary devices are not nessicary first. ...ok, this may take some work...

What has brought you to New Babbage and SL Steampunk?
Always into steampunk , plus, one of the first sims I tp'd into i was faced with a tentacled monster preforming anatomically impossible acts to a female doberman woman, I fled to new babbage after bleaching my brain and stayed here ever since. Unless I'm in CBT (Classic battleTech))
Could you provide a bit of background about yourself?
Professor Grendel M. Footman, inventor, adventurer, surgeon, and occultist.
born to parents...I'm assuming, that part is foggy, I learned to be a surgeon at a young age, then got promptly bored and was eventually drummed out of medical school for my more original ideas, since then I have studied engineering, then was kicked out after the engine i built destroyed the engineering college, so I finally turned my attentions to the occult and supernatural studies, where i discovered a serum based on alchemical texts,and combined with modern chemical knowledge. . the Immortalis Serum, together with some electrical stimulation, can help prevent death, with the minor side effect that you will need regular injections to stay alive.
After years of testing on animals and corpses, I had to use it on myself when fatally wounded by a yeti in the Himilaya's while searching for Shangri-La. I had to give myself my first treatment, just to stay alive long enouhg to stitch myself back together and give myself the full treatment. After that I sold the family estate in Antartica, gave the servant's what would have been thier final year's pay, sold whatever was no use to me, loaded it into my airship, and left for other areas.

A full time weapon's developer and part time occult investigator and monster hunter.I since have had to use my surgical knowledge on myself many other ties, even replacing some organs, and improving some others.
probing the secrets of science and the unknown, and occasionally blowing something up, or releasing a demon in the process
Do you have a website?

Footman's Log, Nov. 13th 18XX

I've returned to Underby's, after Miss Macbain had mentioned he had acted oddly around her (as his cat, Sekhmet) and had taken a sample of fur. In my experience, there's some things that can be done with a person's hair, curses, could be a compnent needed in some ritual to bring Nyarlithotep into Babbage, etc, I'm not sure if it applies to cats, or shapeshifters, however, but I always beleive in take no chances.

I had met Miss Macbain at the Red Cave in Clockhaven, were we discussed it, She tri… Continue

Footman's log, Nov 12th 18XX

After field tests of the mark II Pengi deployment device, I took a walk through the city, eventually found myself in Clockhaven. I was bored and so decided to look for Underby's shop. I personally had never met the man, really only ever interacting with his lackey, Pip, but had heard a bit about him between his fued with Sixpence, his apparant death, the seance, is ressurection, Miss Macbain's reports, and rumors of the clockwinder's odd behavior lately, plus the fact he was apparantly flirting… Continue

Footman's Log Nov. 11th 18XX

The pengi as usual, have found their own way of doing things, rather than incinerating the leftover corpses like I asked, they loaded them into the cannon Miss Aya had built before leaving my employ.
the one intended to reach the moon. and then they launched the corpses, from the cannon, I'm assuming towards the moon....or maybe Mars...I'm not quite sure what trajectory it had last been left at.
Of course, it's alway's failed tests in the past, often getting rider's lost somewhere's in the void… Continue

Footman's Log Nov. 10th

I had been in my lab earlier yesterday. While I had all the remaining zombies, and corpses shipped back to Antartica for keeping, there had been some tests I had wanted to run. After the incident, I had aquired a few samples of Dayafter's cure, and had been working on a few mixes of serum with cure.
I had hit up the graveyard I had seen in the Academy district ((OOC I'm not sure if it's still there, or was just a halloween decoration, but using it anyway)) and had taken a few peices, as well as… Continue

Tests in the Lab

I've been testing Miss Frye's version of the Reality Enforcement Device, the device apparantly does work, on both magical creatures, as the comatose fey batteries show, and amulets as I tested it on assorted talismans and amulets, both had gone dead when in range,slowely regaining thier properties when taken back out of range.
alchemy, the formulas and serums seemed to glow slightly less, I'm assuming the chemical aspects keep them somewhat functional, but at a weakened state. it also had an odd… Continue

Welcome, sir. I admit to being rather intrigued both by the contradiction implied in your name and by your mysterious appearance. I imagine you have many tales to tell, some of which might be true.

Any and all information will be of use to our mission.

((Hey Grendel - expedition sounds interestng (except ... Harpoon guns, huh?)! You may wish to tap Mr. Benoir to see if he would like to join in. Also talk to beq, who is recovering from a stay in the deep. And perhaps, if you like, let Ianthe, Elleon, or me know when you were thinking of expeditionating. ))
