Science Week

Yesterday's Google Doodle was Marie Curie, today's was Edmond Halley. I don't need to explain how Belle Epoque women investigating (and naming) radioactivity or Jacobean chaps tracking (and naming) comets linked to portents of doom could make adventure hooks, do I? Just add some aliens seeking an advanced power source and a carriage chase around the Eiffel Tower to the first, and a secret invasion in 2061 to the other, and you're good to go.
