Ok, ok, I’m back. Totally forgot about this and just got back to reading it… Last time I was here, the prologue hadn’t quite ended.
… Which is why I’m only just now commenting that the links are completely messed up. The most notable problem of these is that the end of the prologue doesn’t link to the start of the next chapter.

For some reason I was thinking of Leon Trotsky while drawing this page.
wait a minute….. sorry for being so dense…. it just came to me now
This ENTIRE project, This MASSIVE undertaking, the untold THOUSANDS of pounds spent….
the sole purpose of ALL THIS….
the REASON Philo became an inventor in the first place…
was to DELAY HIS WEDDING DAY??????
It does sound outrageous when put that way. What could I have been thinking?

it also puts Alice’s attitude a little more in perspective…… 😉
Any deadly weapon will do. Unless Roderick has touched it. If he has, burn it.
Would you use it while it was on fire or burn it afterwards? Let me help:
Axe soon to be burned: serviceable
Burning axe: cool
Burned axe: useless
