1602: Mathematician and academic Gilles de Roberval born. He will publish a system of the universe in which he supports the Copernican heliocentric system and attributes a mutual attraction to all particles of matter.
1792: Allumette enflammée inverse, symbol of Les Empyrées, accidentally sets fire to Dr. Guillotine.
1792: French Revolution: Storming of the Tuileries Palace: Louis XVI of France is arrested and taken into custody as his Swiss Guards are massacred by the Parisian mob.
1896: Engineer and alleged time-traveller Henrietta Bolt warns "flying man" Otto Lilienthal that he is in danger, but Lilienthal insists that his career depends upon "never backing down from the sky."
1896: Aviation pioneer Otto Lilienthal, known as the flying man, dies from injuries sustained the day before when his glider fell and crashed.
1957: X-ray crystallographer and crime-fighter Rosalind Franklin publishes new theory of Gnomon algorithm functions based on the structure of DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) with applications in detecting and preventing crimes against chemistry.
1960: Mathematician and academic Oswald Veblen dies. His work found application in atomic physics and the theory of relativity.
2000: Mathematician and crime-fighter Armand Borel publishes new theory of linear algebraic groups with applications in detecting and preventing crimes against mathematical constants.
2017: Signed first edition of Two Bugs Fighting revealed as forgery, confiscated by APTO agents. APTO will reverse-engineer the forgery but fail to identify the forger.
