An Open Letter from Peter Walter VI to All Intelligent Lifeforms:

Greeterings Multiverse Inhabitants,
My name is Peter Walter VI.

You may have heard of Peter Walter's Musical Steam Powered Automatons, also known by their band name, Steam Powered Giraffe!

In 1896 Colonel P. A. Walter I created the automaton men and a giant steam powered giraffe. They were utilized to combat a metal menace in Africa; giant copper African elephants manufactured by Ignatius Becile, Walter I's inventing rival. The Walter robots won victory and ensured peace, but their primary use after the war became entertainment.

Throughout the decades the robots have done their share of playing catchy tunes, served in many an Earth war, and have also been involved the interests of many other realities in the multiverse.

The robuts' A.I. and steam engines are driven by a Self Oscillating Utilitarian Lifesource channeling blue matter, a device whose origin and functionality is craftily kept secret by the Walter family.

Blue matter is a dangerous phenomenon in the wrong hands, and all of its mysteries have not yet been unlocked.

Devices capable of channeling blue matter are said to be ferociously monitored by an organization often cited as nonexistant: The Brown Suits. Their order is to ensure that blue matter does not destroy the universe. And it is under their demand I take action to secure the future of my family's automatons.

The Brown Suits are a very real order and HAVE been safeguarding my family's trade of blue matter powered robuts. But now I need your help.

Currently, a long-time rival threatens to consume our homes with his greed. In America, Becile Industries may seem a homely operation of engineering, but I assure you they will ultimately destroy the universe with their reckless abuse of technology. They've been trying for years to steal the Walter secrets and they've accidentally caused terrible space-time catastrophies because of this.

Yet, the Becile family is just one of many villainous forces that want to stir up trouble for the fabric of space time. We cannot let this invention fall into the wrong hands.

This is where you come in!

You may hail from Earth, or Moustachetopia, or even South Adventurica. But if you're a fan of Steam Powered Giraffe, I am calling on you to do your part in supporting the blue matter infused robots. Be you human or robut, alien, vampire, pirate, wizard, space cowboy, vleed...it really doesn't matter. What does matter is the wonderful blue matter. It is the most mattering of matters, and so it should matter to you!

Now I don't think it's fair that just because my family has such a unique creation that we should let just anyone use it, let alone reverse engineer it. But much like the science Toaster Pastries gave the world, so too must Blue Matter be shared for the betterment of mankind. But such a dangerous thing must be monitored. If you desire the secrets of Blue Matter, you must earn the right!

I am ushering you all to Earth to show your support by joining a new organization headed by The Brown Suits under my direction.

I present to you The Multiverse Fan Club of Steam Powered Giraffe: The Cavalcadium of Peter Walter. All manner of being may join, as long as you're here to help and not steal my creations away for use on your death-ray and or Nightmare Machine.

Perhaps you're an ambitious airship pilot or a tesla-coil firing sharpshooter...A time traveling ninja or a dinosaur riding pop diva. If your talents make you an ideal companion...sign up!

I will not part freely with the knowledge. In fact, I'm quite certain just talking about it will cause most of you to go insane. But for those who prove themselves as devoted followers, I will let you take a dip into the secrets my family has held dear for so long.

The future is in your hands, friends. Join up and become a Cavalvadian. And tomorrow we will bask in the blue glow of success!

-Your Pal,

Peter Walter VI
