History
In the course of their activities, Housekeeping once burst in on the Laboratory and began cleaning it, much to the dismay of Gravitcher and his Artifectors. However, Spamblodgett tricked Lally, a member of Housekeeping, into the Alarum and sent her five minutes back in time, (PROSE: Our Strange and Wonderful House: The Lab: Setting The Alarum) altering the timeline so that the Artifectors had been warned of Housekeeping's impending arrival and locked and barricaded the door to prevent them coming in. (PROSE: Our Strange and Wonderful House: The Lab: The Alarum Goes Off) They sent an SOS to Elshanor, who made her way across the House to speak with the Housekeeping platoon, and convinced them to leave the Laboratory alone and go clean the Library instead, insisting that it was extremely dusty.
