Are his sons zombies?

That would be a twist. But they seem to behave like normal children going by their own journals.

I'm now back in the Factory offices and noted more closely the note about how the offices were designed to be a facade for the factory to make people believe there was a workforce, even though there really isn't one (not a human one).

Also found another Mandus journal from August which he talks about how he hired engineers to built a lot of the machinery since they talked about their experiences constructing the London underground. That's where he mentions the Architect of his that talked of a Giant Iron Egg at the center of the Earth.

What's with Mandus' comments on Jack the Ripper? He talks about 'introducing the Professor to Jack and his sons.' Did Jack the Ripper work for him? Did he catch the Ripper? Or is he just citing that madman as a reason for his nihilistic breakdown?

Now, I thought the "Jack" he was referring to in the note about the Professor was something else, because he spoke of this after speaking of taking him to see "The Tripery" and then right after that sentence he states "we've made the locks on the windows stronger and we bring their toys to them"
