The ”’Ordo Lac Lactis Solum”’ (OMB) is a New Babbage order of chivalry established on 25 July 18– by Clockwinder Mosseveno Tenk and Maceholder Aeolus Cleanslate. It is a recognition of valor and community service.
==Inception of the Order==
===Transcript of Maceholder Cleanslate’s Speech===
(Delivered on 25 July 18–)
Our City has long been the beneficiary of the selfless acts of its citizens – acts that further the cause of Industry, Invention, and the Opportunity to Pursue One’s Dreams without fear of Tyranny … particularly those Acts done with panache and style, the ones that make for a good story around the boiler fire later.
The recent … “incident” concerning the late, unlamented, so-called “Obolenskidonia” provided the stage onto which many stepped.
It is with great honor therefore, that as Maceholder I make tonight’s announcement. To honor these brave, lyrical Citizens, the Clockwinder has authorized the creation of a hallowed order – Ordo Lac Lactis Solum, or in the common tongue, the Order of the Milk Bottle. Members of the Order will receive a certificate, will be entitled to display the letters “O.M.B.” after their names, and have the right to wear their medal denoting their membership.
