Sivan's Talking Watch

The Diaries of Wilhelmina Brody


August 3, 1870

Attacked by anarchists during the night. We shipped them back to Wymms.

August 4, 1870

As I sit and write this both Miss Sinclair and Miss Whitnell are vexed at me. I don't see why. we had discovered a weapon of unimaginable power, we had to leave in a hurry. Therefor it had to be destroyed. The only thing I had at my disposable to destroy it was an autunite battery. I had not been informed of one of the peculiarities of autunite is that two pieces exploded together will produce more total energy than two pieces exploded separately. Sir C does not know where this extra energy comes from. The explosion was quite spectacular even two miles away the ground shook like the deck of a ship in a storm. Here comes Miss Sinclair I need to put my pantograph away.


August 6, 1870

We are leaving Berlin today while we were in town I managed to have a nice visit with Herr Erwägen. We discussed ways to modify analytical engines.


August 7, 1870

On the train to Naples, Miss Sinclair is sill going on about the Konigsberg incident so I am writing more lines this time in Latin. It's not like it was an English city I blew up, it wasn't even the whole city, Just one small outdated fortress.
