Well, Midnight Synergy began as a horse-breeding outfit in 1781. In 1823 the stable master, Lord Upscotch of Padwinkle, befriended Charles Babbage and became proud owner of a brand new difference engine. Lord Upscotch initially used the engine to verify his taxation records, but soon after broke his wrist in an unfortunate accident involving a roast turkey and too much brandy. The engine was stored in one of the stables where it began to gather dust.
Upscotch’s daughter, Lilly, had been training one of the horses to count all the prime numbers by stomping its feet - strangely enough a never ending endeavour. On one dark and stormy night the horse began stomping on the difference engine, proving by accident that 14x2=28 and that two pickled herrings do not make an adequate fuel source for a combustion engine.
Exactly 179 years later Wonderland was released. Coincidence? I think not!
These days Midnight Synergy is a worldwide conglomerate with offices in every country except Luxembourg and Liechtenstein (mainly due to the confusion of which is which) and over 200,000 employees (most of whom spend their days breathing helium to get Stinky and Loof’s voices just right).
I hope this answered any questions you might have had.
