The Alphabet, Again: L is for…Lortonium
First created by the internationally famous Mad Scientist Dantham Lorton during the summer of 1883, lortonium is the wonder metal of the Steam Age. Lighter than aluminum, yet stronger than steel, it resists corrosion and is almost non conductive of electricity, all of which make it perfect for building great airships, submarines and spacecraft. Despite being the most expensive metal alloy known to man, it is in such great demand that Lorton Labs in Western Australia has orders booked ahead for five years.

The Alphabet, Again: L is for…Lucky Lo
If you were a secret agent working in Hong Kong in the 1960s and you needed information, you went to Lucky Lo. Born and raised on the streets to poor parents, Lucky Lo is the leader of the Hong Kong Irregulars, a small army of street kids patterned after the Baker Street Irregulars of Sherlock Holmes fame. Since nobody ever pays attention to kids, they see and hear all manner of things and report back to Lucky and his core group of “information sifters”. Sooner or later, somebody…say, a dashing British secret agent or a steely eyed American private investigator…is willing to pay cash for the sifted and connected intel. Lucky then passes much of his profits back down the line to the Irregulars. In this way, everyone gets some money, life is made a bit easier and suave secret agents save a bit of time and energy, which they then pass on to sexy young women.
