Read Shadow Conspiracy Storyline:

The Shadow Conspiracy is a collection
of stories set along an alternative
timeline, focusing on the dreamers,
experimenters and engineers who work
their mechanical and metaphysical
magic both for good...and evil.
Lord Byron’s only legitimate daughter,
Ada Byron, the Countess Lovelace, has
inherited her father’s genius, if not his
madness. With Charles Babbage,
inventor of the analytical engine, she
has invented the “automatic sciences,”
whereby mechanical automata may be
created that precisely mimic human
action, and even human thought.
Automata serve in great homes,
factories are becoming increasingly and
elaborately mechanized, and steam
engines for the burgeoning railways
keep their own time schedules.
Dirigibles and flying automata have
brought the Empire — and piracy —
into the Air Age.
But even a golden age casts a long
shadow, and the highest dreams of
humanity must struggle to rise above
the darkness from which they were
born.
