Jolly old England.

Back in November, Dr. Jones left E, Irik and myself a not to go to London and find out what we could about two figures of the ESS's history (Vladimir and Kraus of Her Majesty's Royal Eliminators of the Loathsome Undead). They were, at the very least, pioneers in steam-technology and superfluous machines. Such as the automated back-worn tea, toast and hair-cutting apparatus. Most of their devices have been lost or destroyed (or self-destructed) but the originals are in the London ESS archives. I'll shoot some e-mails off and see if I can get copies. Dr. Jones, because he's Dr. Jones, left us about $40 and a single bent pound.
Because E is an indentured servant and Mr. Tep felt generous, and had an ulterior motive, as he always does, he funded the trip for the three of us.SO TO ENGLAND WE WENT!

We bummed it in hostels and B&Bs as we investigated. There's a British ESS branch, they helped us on our way. Our first place to look was in London itself. A pub called The Strutton Arms. V&K lived near Westminster on Greycoat Place.

The Strutton Arms Tavern

This pub was right in their neighborhood, and down the block from Westminster Abby, which is only a short ways from Buckingham Palace.

The first of many pints.
When all that The Strutton Arms yielded was a few pints of delicious cider, we moved on.
Our next spot of interest was Greycoat Hospital.
Greycoat Hospital.
We were allowed to search through some of the records, but not take photos (bastards). We got as far back as 1870, which gave us limited information on V&K. We got an address, 2739 Greycoat Place, which we could not find, at least not in current London.
When all else fails: go to pub.
So, we found nothing in London. Although, I got a picture of a faerie door.
Next up: SCOTLAND.
