What has brought you to New Babbage and SL Steampunk?
I found SL because of an article I read on a flight in a technical journal from the office. I found New Babbage while looking for a place to explore the steampunk side of the grid. A love of old technology, history, and science fiction took root in the cobbled streets and canals of the city...
Could you provide a bit of background about yourself?
My father was an army officer who worked for the Foreign Service after going on half-pay. I traveled with him to his new postings abroad after Mother died. I completed university, and traveled a bit on my own, working many odd jobs here and there to pay the bills. I dabble a bit in paranormal investigations, am a fair hand at things mechanical, a crack shot with all manner of firearms, considered by some to be well read and at best amusing company. Lacking a suitable excuse, I accepted a commission as Commodore of the New Babbage Naval Militia, and also assist in the behind the scenes operations of the Aether Salon.
I am currently the lead agent for Terranova Investigations, which is based in New Babbage. We are currently taking clients for any number of investigative services.

The question of uniforms

Just so I can say it, last night at the ball was the first time I wore all the 'stuff' that goes on my dress uniform. I typically just wear the plain jacket, with the Commodore piping on the sleeve.

As much as it pains me to use a Yankee as a role model, I offer the following quote about Ulysses S. Grant:

"Following his promotion at Chattanooga, Grant routinely wore "the uniform of a private with the straps of a lieutenant-general. In his dress, as in his dealings with subordinates, Grant was… Continue

Ironclad Fight Night for Fleet Week

Wow, what a week. I would like to thank everyone who came out, and for the patience displayed by the participants as we got everything sorted out. We had a very large crowd, and I hope that the participants had a good time. Because of sim logistics, and trying to balance fight and lag, I opted to go with a 3 on 3 lineup. It worked out rather well, and I hope that everyone enjoyed themselves.

Round one had Scoundrel Fleet wave 1 versus Steeltopia. Steeltopia won, but I must give kudos to the lon… Continue

Well, yes, I am ready for my ironclad swimsuit photo shoot. Still having a bit of trouble with my face mask fogging up, and I do tend to leave rust spots on the floor from my boots. Iron is so fetching, wouldn't you agree?
