BEDDOWS SKINNED - BRITISH MUSEUM
JANUARY 1923
Meanwhile, Irma Bloomberg, Wesley Freundlich-Fock and Gupta Singh went to the British Library to research: The Sedefkar Simulacrum Sedefkar Scrolls The Skinless One. Randolph Alexis (owner of the Train originally)

Irma, Wesley And Gupta

They found Nothing AT ALL on the Sedefkar Simulacrum or Scrolls.

Randolph Alexi turned out to have been killed on the Train, his son, Albert Alexi, had a model for the Engine and first two cars (the missing ones) and he disappeared too with smoke in room etc. This was 20 years after the death of his Farther, Randolph Alexi.

Joseph Donelly went to buy open train tickets for the team.

Joseph Donelly contacted Trent and Pini to tell them what was happening and to get ready to meet us when we catch the Orient Express.

Wesley Freundlich-Fock, Irma Bloomberg, Gupta Singh and Yegor Gaida went back to the British library to carry on researching.

Wesley Freundlich-Fock found nothing on the "Shunned Mosque" which means that it must be a local nickname and not the official name of the mosque. Also, the Sedefkar Scrolls (allegedly the key to destroying the simulacrum) are held in Topkapi Palace/Museum in Constantinople.

The Shunned Mosque

Gaida read this in the Necronomicon: "The Skinless One, resplendent in naked flesh, standing indifferently in a field of flayed corpses."

Joseph Donelly stayed in the Hotel while Simon Grand go to the Turkish Embassy and had a brain freeze and forgot about asking after Mehment Makryat.

Joseph Donelly phoned the train Makers??? To ask about the train and who had it commissioned? Turns out it was Randolph Alexis's son, Albert Alexis, on the same day that he disappeared in the same circumstances as Mr Henry Stanley.

The British library

Irma Bloomberg, Wesley Freundlich-Fock, Yegor Gaida and Gupta Singh Went back to the British library to continue the research. After about three hours Gaida noticed that a Gentleman was sleeping at a desk near to us. He went over to take a better look (warning gloves, overcoat and large brimmed hat) and as he checked he fell to the ground. It turned out to be a COMPLETELY skinned man. Gaida found some flayed skin with some writing (Modern Turkish) written in Blood. "The skinless one will not be denied".

Gaida researched it as well in "den unaussprechlichen Kulten" but found no meaningful reference. Gaida thinks time of death was 12 – 15 hours.

Someone started screaming and the police were called. Gupta tried to find out who booked the table were he was sitting, no luck.

The police came took all our names and statements.

The Police Take Statements

We went to a local Turkish Restaurant/Cafe to get a COPY of the writing translated.

Irma & Gaida went back to the Local Police Station to follow up on the skinned body from the British library and it turns out that it was Beddows. They had no idea of a possible link to Mehment Makryat's doubles killings (The Train being the Link).

We Hope......
