The Transfictional Canonical Defence Authority is a Steampunk AU of the PPC, featuring the requisite extremely long names, overly-complicated devices, and incredibly elaborate costuming. It was originally created by Pieguy, and expanded on by other PPCers.
During the 2013 Blackout, this AU connected with the main reality for long enough to allow Agents Eleanor and Christelle, its versions of Christianne Shieh and Eledhwen Elerossiel, to enter HQ. They were returned to their home reality during cleanup.
