In retaliation, Thadeus installed a large phonograph on the back of his copper elephant. Though Peter could not carry a tune and had no prowess in musical talent, he engineered the robots to be knowledgeable themselves, and he dreamed of one day striding atop his steam powered giraffe with Delilah through the African Savannah, enjoying the musical stylings of his singing automatons. The automatons were built to serenade Delilah, because it was rumored that she had a soft spot for music. Blue Matter was used as an energy source for all of the robots that Walter eventually created.Īs if that wasn’t enough, Peter also began the creation of three humanoid robots that could sing and play instruments without human control. Extremely powerful, but with Walter’s ingenious patents, it could be channeled in many ways quite safely. He called it Blue Matter, and he theorized it was what bound reality together. Intent upon making an energy source equivalent in power to Green Matter, but safer, he tapped into a similar energy source. However, the way Peter powered the machine was equally as impressive. That in itself would have been an amazing feat, bound to win him glory at the society’s next function. It was a steam powered robot giraffe, that stood 136 feet high, or the equivalent of 8 average sized giraffes stacked on top of each other. In his attempt to out shine Thadeus’ copper elephant, Walter built a contraption of his own. The two kept up no semblance of friendship after that. Walter had yet to come up with, and it nearly won Delilah’s heart, for she loved African animals. The elephant was leaps and bounds beyond any invention P.A. At the very next convention, a disheveled looking Thadeus unveiled his new invention: a behemoth copper African elephant, powered by the controversial Green Matter, and controlled by a human counterpart. The rift that had formed between the two men years before was splitting them farther and farther apart, and their contention was no longer friendly. And, admittedly, a little jealous that Thadeus had discovered it. Delilah agreed with Walter, and Thadeus took that as a personal insult.ĭespite Peter Walter’s initial dislike of the idea of Green Matter, he remained intrigued at the possibilities. He suggested that further tests be done to flesh out what may or may not become the energy source of the future. Peter Walter contested that Green Matter was too unstable of a power source, and too mysterious to use. He proposed numerous ways that Green Matter could be used to fuel machinery and, more specifically, in the enhancement of weaponry.īut Thadeus’ discovery was not well received. Thadeus called it Green Matter, a form of energy that is created using the edible green Rock Candy, and the effect it produces. At one convention, Thadeus introduced to the society a theory he had formed, based on colleague Taggart Babclock’s discovery of underground Rock Candy deposits in Africa. Being scientists and engineers, Thadeus and Peter used their whimsical inventions to woo Delilah, hoping to impress her with their brilliance.Īs time wore on, and Delilah’s neutrality persisted, the already lucrative endeavors of these inventors escalated. Ordinary men would have used flowers and chocolate in courting. It began as an unspoken and friendly rivalry, to gain the affections of the young miss, so rare in her beauty and brilliance. There were many members of the society that sought after her, but Peter and Thadeus displayed the most enthusiasm in their efforts. It began when they met a woman Delilah Morreo.ĭelilah, Thadeus Becile and Peter Walter, were part of the society known as The Cavalcadium an illusive organization of great minds working together in the fields of science, arcana, alchemy, and art.Īlthough she was a chemist, Delilah showed great interest in all scientific fields, and her bright eyed wonderment made her very popular in the Cavalcadium. But it wasn’t just science that these men used to fuel their competition, it was something much more complex. Throughout their years at university, the two were inseparable friends and colleagues unparalleled by their fellow students in talent. They had always had many opportunities to compete, both being scientists and inventors. In the late 1800’s, two men of science formed an age old dispute.
