Inventions Linked to Assassination Plot In London
A muddled report describes Captain Match and partner Cuanlughua amid a two year inquiry into a planned assassination in London. Three men attended a party and discussed a mechanical explosive device intended to destroy a tower using a timed clockwork mechanism powered by hidden dynamos. The device involved a decanter concealing an explosive at its base, with wiring and a concealed powder charge. The group reportedly planned to weaponize a clockwork timer, aiming to release the detonator at a precise moment. Investigators gleaned connections to Dalton and Meowsan and noted a February vessel visit connected to the plot.
