Not quite.

That's my fathers' saying.

Suuuurrrre it is. -is clearly just teasing Johnny at this point-

Should I try and find the single mummies in Egypt?

No.

....Meh.

My ancestor helped fight giant mechanical autonomous superweapons in order to stop humanity getting wiped out over three centuries before my birth.

Single mummies are nothing compared to those monsters.

...Though, saying that, Aelfi's only looking out for you.

Well- there's a bit of a story behind that particular jab.

I've heard it befo-

Yes I know you have, Aelfi.

Hmmm?

Might be something interesting to listen to.

I mean, I should probably stop making people listen to my family's legacy and just be quiet for once.

My father's a guy called Jack Livingstone.

He's an archaeologist- like me. But also an- adventurous type. Kind of eccentric.

His type was outdated by the time WW 2 happened, but- he's kind of a living relic of that kind of adventuring.

WW 2?

...If I remember my history right, that was an intense international conflict that occurred near the end of the... 2nd millennium of the Anno Domini calendar?

(Post-apocalyptic environment, calendar changed by an apocalyptic event, you do the math)

Yes- something like that, I suppose.

Point is, he travelled across the world. China, Egypt- Japan- anywhere that there was an adventure to be had, and archaeology to be done- he'd be there.

So he found this tomb in Egypt once...

It just so happened to have been the resting place of a super-villain from Ancient Egypt. Had herself mummified.

So my dad entered the tomb as he usually would- and accidentally woke her up.

And my father never said how- or whether it was a curse- but she was just- obsessed with him. Utterly infatuated is what he says.

So- my dad, not wanting to date a thousand year old corpse- promptly had to fight her over the artifacts in her tomb so that they could go to a museum. Also because he was creeped out.

But it didn't end with her body being destroyed in the fight...

She became a ghost. And he's haunted by her.

To the extent that he has a set of codes that identify whether someone hitting on him is actually her possessing their body.

....That... certainly makes a unique variant of a 'stalker.'

And rather unethical.

(beat)

The possessing bit, not the codes.

Indeed- she is his stalker.

Supernatural- ancient Egyptian ghost of a stalker.

...I don't know about that, Aelfi.

Still, it definitely isn't an everyday thing that you would get chased by ghosts.

...Especially ghosts that have a romantic interest in you.

Again I'd say- my father's not your everyday type of person.

Who else would adopt 11 kids and raise them on his own with the aid of servants in his mansion?

Crazy person. Also- I was being sarcastic, Michael.

But yeah. Ten siblings. Hard to get quiet in the house. Harder when I've got her around me too. -points a thumb towards Aelfi-

Hal, Sarah, Esmeralda, Hazel, Louise, Kathlyn, Alan, Gavin, Layla and Ruby. Yep that's Ten.

Absolutely dreadful. But hey- at least the mansion is big enough where it's not too cramped.

Because he didn't do his job for free... also he did kind of avert the apocalypse a few times. And he owns a lot of museums- so the stuff that doesn't go into the running or the payment of staff keeps him at an income...

And he plays stocks...

I would not put it past him if he tried to become one.

I heard him ramble once about buying Mars.

...You can't buy a planet.

...But to actually buy one? Utterly ridiculous.

Could you buy a moon? He'd probably do that if he couldn't buy a planet.

No? I don't think so. The moon is a just a massive sphere of rock and dust. Why would you buy it?

Property development- terraforming- prospecting...

Didn't you read a book that said the Moon has an absurd amount of gold inside it?

Well- yes. But that has been disputed before- when Apollo went up there after Cavor & Bedford.

They didn't see gold, so people doubt whether the 1901 British Independent Expedition actually happened.
