Some of you might remember the Dry British Porn moment. Well someone said a single phrase and I realized that I needed to do a short burst of Steampunk Porn.

“Now then, Miss Hastings, shall we continue with the experiment?”

“I think so, Doctor. Are my goggles straight?”

“They are. And now, here, we shall focus upon my telescoping flange…”

“It does seem quite the robust instrument, doctor.”

“As it should, as it should. Now, my dear, simply access the roller ball controls, use them gently as to not disturb the telescoping mechanism…”

“Yes, of course. Like this, then?”

“Truly. Now, as you can see the telescoping flange has fully extended under your guidance. We can resume our experimentation in full.”

“I am, frankly, excited by the prospect, doctor. I do notice that the heat given off by the flange needs to be tempered. Perhaps a water-based cooling system?”

“Pulleys and levers, dear, pulleys and levers. They shall see us through. Manual manipulation of the flange should ease it back into full use.”

“Oh my.”

“Yes.”

“Oh dear.”

“Exactly.”

“What are we doing, doctor?”

“Science, dear. Science.”
