In 1859 Urbain J.J. Leverrier announced that Mercury's orbit was shifting ever so slightly over time - at odds with Newtonian mechanics - and postulated the cause to be another small planet in an orbit between Mercury and the Sun. This kicked off a 55 year search for Vulcan, planet of the forge god. The search ended in 1915 when Einstein told the Prussian Academy of Sciences that Newtonian mechanics break down in high gravity areas - the Sun was warping space around it, making Mercury deviate from its predicted orbit. "Can you imagine my joy that the equations of the perihelion movement of Mercury prove correct? I was speechless for several days with excitement," Einstein wrote in a letter to a friend.

And with a stroke, the Void Engineers eliminated the great fortress of the Sons of the Ether, crushing one more piece of High Concept 'Science!' in the name of their precision crusade.

Your job: Get it back. This seems like such a natural for a Mage adventure, or as the kick off point for a campaign focused on Sons of the Ether - one more thing I don't have time to run.
