**Professor Inkling** (born 1922) is an Atlantian dumbo octopus scientist, inventor, oceanographer, marine biologist, ecologist, astronomer and physicist who has served as Joint Chief Scientist to the Government since August 2022. He previously served as Chief Scientist to the World Leader Peter the Pike from February 2018 to March 2018. Professor Inkling is also notable as an inventor, having invented Universal Exact Mapping, a form of universal mapping which maps all universes (apart from the Hamster Universe) down to a sub-atomic level retroactively from the beginning of material reality over 200 decillion years ago. This invention has many applications, including providing the government with a way to know what is happening anywhere in any universe at all times, providing citizens with the ability to discover exactly how past events transpired and providing users with the ability to find any lost item, no matter when they lost it or where. Professor Inkling has also invented Theoretical Universe Mapping, a universal mapping system similar to Universal Exact Mapping, but instead mapping the Theoretical Universes. Professor Inkling’s other inventions include the Inkinscope, a highly accurate microscope capable of high magnification and the Inkinerator, an invention which provides clean energy production. Professor Inkling also contributed to the mitigation and reversal of climate change and environmental degradation, creating inventions to remove excess carbon in the atmosphere, including carbon capture.

Whilst serving as Chief Scientist to the World Leader Peter the Pike, Professor Inkling was involved in the Dodo-Peter the Pike War, during which he transported the Dodo Technological Civilisation to a different universe whilst claiming he had destroyed them. He faked the destruction of the Dodo Technological Civilisation as he developed sympathises with the dodos, but did not want to admit this to his employer, Peter the Pike, who detested the Dodo Technological Civilisation and wished for their destruction. This lie was believed by residents of Earth, including Peter the Pike, for around two weeks, until March 2018, when, after he had been sentenced to be tortured to death for insubordination, Professor Inkling was saved by the Dodo Technological Civilisation, who granted him refuge in their universe. Following the reveal of the the continued survival of the Dodo Technological Civilisation, Peter the Pike ordered his newly appointed Chief Scientist, Wellington Arnold Pike, to find and destroy the civilisation and bring him Professor Inkling and the President of the Dodo Technological Civilisation Jarvis (dodo), so they could be tortured to death. Wellington Arnold Pike did as instructed and destroyed the Dodo Technological Civilisation in what would be known as the First Destruction of the Dodo Technological Civilisation. He also successfully captured Professor Inkling and Jarvis (dodo), both of whom were tortured to death by Peter the Pike.

Professor Inkling was resurrected later that month, by Wellington, who also resurrected all of the dodos of the Dodo Technological Civilisation. Following their resurrection, the Dodo Technological Civilisation participated in and won the First March 2018 World War, which saw Jarvis (dodo) once again become leader of Earth. This state of affairs lasted only a few days, as the Dodo Technological Civilisation quickly decided that they did not consider Earth to be worthy of their time and resources and departed the planet for their own planets of residence. Following the March 2018 Dodo Departure From Earth, the Second March 2018 World War broke out. It lasted several days, before eventually ending in a victory for Pinksheep, who became the new leader of Earth. Shortly after the beginning of Pinksheep’s reign, the Dodo Technological Civilisation held the March 2018 Referendum on the Future of Earth, which asked citizens of the Dodo Technological Civilisation whether or not Earth should be destroyed on the basis that it was “too troublesome and dangerous” to be allowed to continue existing. A large majority, 88%, of Dodo Technological Civilisation citizens voted in favour of destroying Earth and Jarvis (dodo) ordered the Dodo Army to destroy Earth. Despite originating from Earth, Professor Inkling did not make any efforts to save the planet, instead remaining uninvolved in the debate on whether to destroy it. The Dodo Army was sent to destroy Earth, however, Pinksheep, had become aware of the planned destruction and ordered them to turn back and abort their objective. The Dodo Army refused Pinksheep’s commands and attempted to continue in the direction of Earth, so Pinksheep used his moustache to destroy the Dodo Army. He then used it to destroy the Dodo Planet and finally the entire Dodo Technological Civilisation. Professor Inkling was killed in the Second Destruction of the Dodo Technological Civilisation and would not be resurrected for over three years, until November 2021, when he was reconstructed by Jerusalem’s Government. Following his reconstruction, Professor Inkling was remorseful for having sided with the Dodo Technological Civilisation against Earth and resumed his career in science. Since 2022, he has invented several pioneering inventions, most notably Universal Exact Mapping and Theoretical Universe Mapping. Due to his success in inventing Universal Exact Mapping, Jerusalem appointed him as joint-Chief Scientist to the Government, a position he serves in alongside Otto and Babbage. As of December 2022, Professor Inkling continues to work on governmental science projects, most recently a new form of Reconstruction, which is currently being used on Maxwell, who is resistant to most forms of Reconstruction.
