History of Qubus’ Island, pt.2

Upon their arrival on the weird cube-shaped island, Dr. Qubus and his assistant Erasmus discovered the research of their missing colleague Professor Lina Rotwang.

Upon their arrival on the weird cube-shaped island, Dr. Qubus and his assistant Erasmus discovered the research of their missing colleague Professor Lina Rotwang, besides meeting the island’s grumpy inhabitants. Rotwang had tried to map the subterranean passageways perforating the whole island, bumping into eldritch flora and fauna during her work. In her most startling records, Rotwang describes the so-called powerplants; endemic plants which seem to create energy and matter from nowhere.





Dr. Qubus and his assistant moved into Rotwang’s mansion in Northend, uncovering more of Rotwang’s abandoned work: machines, seemingly drawing on the island’s and its flora’s strange powers. Qubus studied and accomplished Rotwang’s buried contraptions with the help of the Q-bots which he had contrived for this specific purpose.

The island’s inhabitants rarely met Dr. Qubus during his mysterious work, which eventually gave rise to the rumour of a spook haunting Northend. One day, an explosion razed large parts of Qubus’ mansion to the ground, spiriting away Dr. Qubus. His assistant Erasmus vanished without a trace shortly afterwards, only leaving Qubus’ butler Albert behind in Northend.
