Dumont watched from a distance, giving Lady Elizabeth and Mr Sung a smile and knowing glance as the two gnomes greeted one another.

Then as the presentation began, Gemma huddled as close as possible to view the technical draft as well as its corresponding conceptual designs.

Gemma’s eyes practically lit up as she marveled at them.

Lorem was greatly encouraged by Gemma’s reaction to her presentation. It was obvious she was giving it more for her benefit and not the Baron. Likewise, she answered any and all questions that they were throwing her way; with added delight to the technical ones only Gemma would even know to ask.

“I mus’ say, love. Yor skill for paintin’ and draftsmanship is QUI’E impressive. An’ from what I’ve ‘eard, yo’re not bad with a tool belt’ neither. Beau’y and talen’ as it’ were.” beamed Gemma.

Lorem was getting a bit more animated and charismatic than her normal reserved self in public. Gemma was already rubbing off on her.

The next set of documents dealt with a very heavily armored steam powered four wheel drive vehicle. It was designed with two container pods which could be used to transport gases or liquids. In addition, the primary role of the pods was for imprisonment. They could be modified to best suit whatever “type” of person needed to be inside.

Lorem explained how they may come across bad people that needed to be properly sedated and kept bound from place to place. She also hinted at how she designed it to incapacitate and lockdown dr. Jackal; her iconic gnome ears having overheard several conversations to know of the liability he posed.
