A Book On Our Journey

Thomas Riley Book Cover

The Book  Is Out:

I’ve been telling you about a book about Cynthia and I’s journey into Lemuria for a while now. Well, we discovered a package on our front porch today with two copies contained within. As narcissistic as this sounds I have to say the cover is quite beautiful and the artist’s rendition of us is quite realistic. I’ve only had time to read the first few chapters, but Cynthia is already half way through. She’s a little miffed that her name wasn’t included, but it’s hard enough for her to re-live the journey. So far the account of our recent travels are spot on accurate. So I’m happy no fantastic creatures or embellishment were added.

If you’re interested in learning about our exploits into Lemuria, I would suggest picking a copy of this up for yourself.

Steam Ratio Compressor

 

Newly repaired Steam Ratio Compressor

The steam ratio compressor is finally done. This was a vital component to the lab as we could not fuel inject our prototypes correctly until this piece of equipment was repaired. It suffered a ruptured tank and the feed lines had been shredded in the Lifeblood explosion.

Cynthia is doing much better. She only bears a faint discoloration from her bruises and she’s finally been cleared by the physicians of her concussion. She was having headaches almost daily.

She seems chipper enough though. She’s tinkering with recreating our airship mounted crossbow that we never got to finish. I also think it’s part of the healing process from our voyage. You know… finishing things that were cut short.

We’ve heard little word about all of that. Even through our pirate connections, no one really knows what happened to the crew of The Blood Countess or even the ship itself. Many people are assuming that it was obliterated and the entire crew killed. Personally I don’t think that’s the case.

As for my work, I’ve actually taken a hint from Cynthia and I’m remaking my pepper bomb, this time I have a military grade plan as well as a crowd control and more humane model.

In other news I’ve told you someone wrote a book about our little adventure. Well, apparently it’s out. (How do these writers get books out so quickly after things happen? It’s almost like they have a time machine.) Well, I’ll talk about that more when I get a copy. Funny isn’t it how Cynthia and I don’t have a copy yet? I believe you can purchase it at this location.

Wanted

Hello good people.  While working on the broken seal of the steam ratio compressor, Cynthia practically broke the door to the lab down today. She held a weathered piece of paper in her fist.

“This is enough!” She yelled.

In her hand was a wanted poster that she had found on the side of a bakery near the lab. I tried to get her to relax as the stress is not good for her concussion. While I did my best to calm her, I understood her anger. This was the first time either of us have seen a wanted poster for ourselves in our home town. It’s obviously a clever piece of propaganda by the Lemurians to show that there are people in out city that are willing to capture and turn us in.

The Lemurians have already started to make life as miserable as possible for us in retaliation for our deeds. I’ve heard rumors of many other revenge tactics that they are planning. I’ll go into that more later. As it stands now morale is still low… and if it’s possible confused as well. Can moral be confused. I guess it’s possible.

So amidst the celebrations of our recent accomplishments, enjoy the strange irony that is Cynthia and me’s wanted poster barely a block away from our lab.

Vigogravatus

It’s been a week since Cynthia and I returned from our voyage into Lemuria. We were told by the doctors that we were not to return to work until we fully heal from our injuries. I came back after two days and Cynthia returned after a mere four days of rest. I cautioned her about doing anything stressful as she still shows signs of the concussion, but I can tell she doesn’t want to sit at home and brood about what we’ve been through during the last week.

We’ve spent the time cleaning up the lab. Everything is in shambles. Months of experiments and design have been completely destroyed by the Lifeblood. Despite the cheerful mood of our fellow West Canvians, things around the lab are quiet. We’re delighted at the support of the citizens, we’ve received countless gifts including bundles of flowers that permeate the building with the scent of Lilys. Ironic isn’t it?

I have had a bit of time to work on the anti-serum for the bacterial infection that is killing thousands of soldiers on the front lines. This isn’t even close to being finished, but I was able to express antibody proteins from a soldier’s horse by the name of Lucky. Fear not, Lucky is doing well and will return to service in a few weeks.
