The Improbability Drive, also known as "[[gameplay:lore:horatio|Horatio Entwhistle]]" for some arcane and forgotten reason, was created by [[characters:npc:doktorimprobable|Joseph Hawton]] and <del>[[characters:npc:davidabraham|David Abraham]]</del> his companion, Robot the Robot, to kick ass, chew bubblegum, and prevent the heat-death of the universe by controlling probability. Due to an alarming lack of bubblegum,((not to mention sanity)) it now operates by increasing the chance that the most Improbable events happen, often through death,((create)) in [[gameplay:guides:monster_list|one form]] or [[gameplay:concepts:drivekill|another]].((mostly to newbies, //create// a species that seems to have a refined taste for death,//create// and has at least one helping everyday.))((On other occasions, the Drive likes to put on a dress and high heels because that makes it feel pretty, insists that you call it Eleanor, and then kicks your ass at tennis until you cry. This is also known as Rank Seven.))((Bastard Rank involves lumber jacking. It's not pretty.)) It doesn't really exist.((Alas, poor Horatio. I knew him well, Yorick.)) Well, at least not in this reality.((However, in another reality, it is the greatest waiter //create?// ever.)) It might have the power to control the flow of time, which is really useful. However, it completely refuses to cooperate with bakers of any sort to create time pies. Of course, it doesn't really need to, because you can make time pies simply by enjoying yourself.((That was a pun. No, I'm not going to explain it. Figure it out yourself.)) The Drive never appears in [[places:outpost:improbablecentral|Improbable Central]]. | The Improbability Drive, also known as "[[gameplay:lore:horatio|Horatio Entwhistle]]" for some arcane and forgotten reason, was created by [[characters:npc:doktorimprobable|Joseph Hawton]] and <del>[[characters:npc:davidabraham|David Abraham]]</del> his companion, Robot the Robot, to kick ass, chew bubblegum, and prevent the heat-death of the universe by controlling probability.
