Hammersmith Incident
The Hammersmith Incident is the name given to an event that happened on July 21, 1922. Dr. Sir Calvin Hammersmith was demonstrating his Telluric Engine to several esteemed guests, when something went wrong. The device exploded, igniting a massive fire that instantly killed some of the attendees. Dr. Hammersmith himself tried valiantly to suppress the flames, but was also killed.
The eruption of zero-point energy from the device served to Inspire people all over the world, leading to the Inspiration Age (and the Adventure! game line, and the Trinity Universe in general).
Those in attendance who survived included:
- Jackson Harley, Dr. Hammersmith's butler
- Professor Benjamin Franklin Dixon and his (ex-)wife Dr. Hephaestia Geary-Wexler, Dr. Hammersmith's lab assistants
- Maxwell Anderson Mercer
- Michael Daemon Donighal
- Baron Manfred von Zorbo
