DANGER CAY: Chapter 107 — Illuminating Introduction
I don’t know if Thomas Edison really had a granddaughter named Peaches; probably not, but considering how many liberties I’ve taken with Tesla’s history, he’s getting off easy.
Long-time readers may recall that one of the changes I’ve made to this alternate history, in addition to making Charles Lindbergh the first man on the Moon, having Mars inhabited by cat-men, and giving Nikola Tesla an equally brilliant son, is that in this timeline, Tesla was more successful in developing and promoting his inventions. Following that, it only made sense to assume that his arch-enemy, Edison, wasn’t. Did Tesla really ruin Edison in this universe? Peaches thinks so. But then, Peaches is something of a psycho-puppy.
The “H” on Peaches’ sweater doesn’t stand for “Harvard”, by the way. I decided that she and Hannibal went to Huxley College. I would have sent Timmy Li (last seen in SKY TERROR OF WENG HU) to Huxley as well, but I didn’t think of it at the time.
this is off topic a man just posted, very seriously mind you, that he didn’t know that the US traded goods with Britain in the 19th century and I wanted to pound my head against something.
Looks like someone’s a little salty about Thomas Edison being forced out as the head of General Electric and the world switching from DC to AC (though that was mainly due to George Westinghouse.) I’m guessing there’s a plot to take over electricity production and distribution.
Yes, it is indeed someone with a grudge.
