Reverend Grimme’s Prayers Have Benn Answered, June 23, 1879

The people left their homes and flocked to the Cathedral in Lost Angels to hear Reverend Grimme speak.  In a proclamation to the people of Lost Angels Grimme announced that he has brought about another Miracle to the land of California.  The Reverend stated; “As we all know the land around us has brought us famine and hard times in this past decade. I have striven with all my faith with God and the mortal plane to bring salvation and food to the hungering masses. Months ago we all performed a ritual so that God would hear us from our Cathedral here in Lost Angels. Our faith was so strong that the Devil himself sent his minions to stop us! Our faith was so strong that you all empowered me to fight back and banish the demons back to the Gates of Hell! Now God has heard my prayers and he has brought back life to our land! As you have begun to see over the last few months rain has once again fallen from the sky. Plants and animals are starting to return to us as well. Let the world know that it is strength in our faith that has started to rebuild this land and it is our duty as Christian soldiers to move forward and remove the blight that is corrupting the land of California!“
Hellstromme Unveils New Project, June 15, 1879

Yesterday Darius Hellstromme proclaimed to the governments of North America that he has completed work on blue prints for a new war machine. This creation of such machine is reputed to eliminate the stalemates that the CSA and USA have back East or be used in the war in California. Government representatives from the USA, CSA, the Mexican Empire, Republic of California, and the British Empire were all present and after the announcement by Hellstromme, all of them rushed the stage to try and make their bid for this war machine. From the basic points described in the presentation it will make the Ghost Rock leviathans obsolete as the new war machines will not require as many men or massive amounts of Ghost Rock to run. Hellstromme Industries has created a more efficient Ghost Rock Engine which will be reduced in size but increased in versatility. With this announcement it has brought the market of weapons back to Hellstromme Industries, as they have shied away from such major sales in the last five years, even though much of their early profits were selling such war machines to the Confederacy and the Union.
