Harold Manchester      "Generations ago, my family invented the differential gear. I guess I've always had some pretty big shoes to fill. But to be honest, I've never been half the engineer old Rudy Ackermann was. Then it hit me: I would add another gear.
They all told me I was crazy, that there were already enough gears, that it was an affront to God and nature. I wouldn't have it; I was tired of living in the shadow of a corpse. The "Improved Differential" hit the market May 15th 2039.
On May 15th, 2039, 5 billion people died.
Everyone I ever loved, everyone I ever hated. They're all gone now. It's just me and my gears. These fucking gears. Their single eyes both accusing and mocking me, never blinking, never sleeping. But I will be their master some day. A gear got us into this, and a gear will get us out."
-Display diary of Rudy "The Tinkerer" Ackermann V, father of the Third Age
