Whats the humdrum about Chaps? Well its this Officer's adventures into Victorian Science Fiction and Steampunk. Beware: general ramblings about Aeronefs. Dirigibles. Land Ironclads. Anarchists. Dinosaur Hunting. Terranefs. Aquanefs. Mad Scientists and all manner of electric contraptions and steam conveyances. It may not make a great deal sense but there will be large quantities of claret and a nice cheese board at the end. Tally-Ho and "Vôtre dans une sauce au vin blanc!"
I have some Nautilus plans coming in the mail but I'm not one to let that stop me from art. Here is the initial draft of the main deck of our submarine. The code for rooms (adjacent to the letters of course) is as follows:A = a kind of guest roomN = Nemo's quartersS = Salon/MuseumL = LibraryC = another cabinG = GalleyB = Berthing for the crewE = Engine room

You are most like Prometheus and you probably knew that before you even took this test. You probably aren't deliberately altruistic but you still tend to do things that benefit everyone even at great expense to your health and personal relationships. You aren't ruled by your emotions but you still have a strong sense of justice. You make good descisions but they can sometimes backfire (and this isn't due to a flaw in your reasoning but due to faulty premises instead). You are very reasonable you understand systems you can quickly pinpoint flaws and you know how to correct them. You pride understanding and knowledge above everything else and your greatest fear is to appear to be incompetent. You tend to be contemptuous of authority but you don't accept leadership roles yourself until everyone else has demonstrated their own incompetence. You've built a very specific skill set. You know exactly where your strengths and weaknesses are and you pride yourself on this kind of self-knowledge. You distrust tradition which you see as arbitrary and you rely instead on your own judgements. You also pride yourself on your pragmatism. You're also a very private person. Most of all people think you're arrogant but screw them! They're the ones who benefit from your ideas and discoveries and if they took the time to understand why it is that you say and think the things you do they'd realize that you only appear arrogant because you are exactingly precise when it comes to your area of specification and most of all because when you don't know something you don't have an opinion about it (unlike most of the loudmouths that you have to deal with on a day-to-day basis). Relationships are your kryptonite. It isn't that you don't want them -- in fact you would very much like a very close relationship with someone who understands you. They're just the one thing in the world that you're naturally bad at. Famous people like you: Niels Bohr. J. Robert Oppenheimer. Werner Heisenberg. Issac Newton. John Maynard Keynes. Erwin SchrodingerStay Clear of: Apollo. Icarus. Hermes. AphroditeSeek out: Atlas. The Oracle. Daedalus [ADVERTHERE]Related article:
