May the Cog be with you

Yours Thaddeus

As some, but not all certainly, of you may know I am Sir Magnus Oliphant  Glockenspiel Esq. Commanding J.A.G. Officer of The Omnipotent Trans Dimensional Transit Authority (OTDTA).

I am currently on assignment to this Dimension currently listed as #LD 132, as in Linear Dimension 132! You of this dimension will now be held and required to secure Trans Dimensional Passport and Movement Passes thru the OTDTA! This is pursuant to Dimension Prime Authority Order 150 regarding non disruptive, non military Transdimentional Travel! We do hope you will comply as your life may be forfeit if you don't (sorry about that).

She spoke into the device to her left, a strange little machine resembling the gramophone, which Mr. Berliner had invented a few years back.

The machine confirmed her directions and the compass on her time piece moved south. It was getting close to Tea Time so without delay she…

M. As you say, much as downstairs.



A. Uh huh. What else?



M. Your pardon Mistress, but while I may have increased visual acuity, I lack your skills at…

At this point, I feel it important to remind my readers the reasons for the omission of certain names opposed to the inclusion of others. During my time in the employ of the Military, I made quite a few friends and enemies. However, the means by which I left my employ have left myself in considerable amount of danger. This is why I do not include my original name in any of these writings.
