Alvin's Spyglass
Archivist's Excerpt from: Trinkets, Tech, & Tinkery: A Comprehensive Inventory of All Possible Equipment One Might Need When Circumnavigating the World, Inside & Out, Tabletop Edition, CVI 42.5
The Spyglass Telescope of Alvin Esker is quite the important little artifact of the story of Orphan Towne and the Great Initiative. Originally crafted for Agnes Esker by her brother Alphonse Esker, both a Brazesmith Third Class and a Lensbender Third Class, it was one of the central instruments for her astronomical pursuits while studying cosmic physics during the drafting of The Metarcanum: A Theory of Linguistic Constitution of Matter, Energy, & Form.
Following the tragedy of her death in № 138 Cavendish, the Telescope passed to her youngest brother Alvin Esker, as he shared a love of astronomy with his sister, albeit in a far more juvenile sense that her own purposes. As something of a memorial to her, he could unscrew the aperture lens and carry it around in his Satchel, until it accompanied him on a rather undesired and unexpected journey across The Expanse with one Hana Sóholdt, who thought it was a stupid waste of weight.
