Pinky and the Brain steal an Me262 on the Ghost Roads

This project is a fan-fiction representation of characters from science fiction author Charlie Stross’ Laundry Files and New Management book series, informally known as the Laundryverse. The series premise is that there is an occult variant of British intelligence service MI5 which deals with threats from horrors from other dimensions, which have been multiplied by unintended computational demonology brought about by the IT revolution. The New Management series then deals with what happens when a lesser demonic entity takes over the British government.

The aim of this diorama was be to portray two much loved characters from the series, known as Pinky and The Brain, housemates of main character Bob in The Atrocity Archives, a gay couple in work in the Laundry’s computational demonology research department.The Kettenkrad is the one Bib uses in the first book, and which Pinky and Brian use during the Elven attack on Leeds in The Nightmare Stacks.

In this diorama, our queer heroes are despatched to deal with an incursion by what is presumed to be a Lovercraftian horror, but which turns out to be a pansexual, hypergendered deity whom the Nazi Abwehr’s paranormal intelligence force sought to to exploit in world war 2. Naturally the deity objected to being othered by nazis, and dealt with them with a flick of its wrist, while comprehensively redecorating the ME262 involved. In this scene, Pinky is riding the couples own Kettenkrad, while Brains is taking the ME262 up to the divine being for one more psychedelic love in in the sky. Good times! The Me262 has been kept in a force field within a temple, which features sentient semi mobile paintings on its walls.
