--- Quote from: Sharlee on April 19, 2014, 05:44:51 PM ---No exact date given, but Bombshells strongly implies that either Daniel or Matthew Carpenter served in Afghanistan. Can we figure out which, and narrow down when this may have happened?

Assuming that Jim knows that you need to be 18 and a high school graduate to join the service, I believe the only possible person it could be is Daniel. I'm not sure any of the other kids are out of high school yet (during "Bombshells")

Daniel is about 22 as of Bombshells. He would have had to join about 4 years prior to that date (assuming that he did, since it hasn't been fully confirmed). That would have been around the time of Small Favor, give or take.

At the time of Bombshells, Matthew is 19-20, so he's definitely out of high school. The next-oldest, Alicia, is 17, so it's possible she's taking college classes.
Sharlee:
A couple more, caught while re-reading Small Favor:
- Luccio refers to the Archive as having five thousand years of memories to deal with, suggesting that's how long ago the construct was created.
(click to show/hide)Also how long the Oblivion War has been led by the Archive.
- Nicodemus recalls that Thorned Namshiel used his strangler spell to distract and pickpocket an unspecified Saint in Glasgow in the thirteenth century.
Sharlee:
And some more references, from Changes this time:
- Harry's office building was bought by Nuevo Verita, Inc., a Red Court business, almost 8 years before Changes.
- Martin worked for 150 years to infiltrate the Fellowship of St. Giles, an assignment it took him another 50 years of service as a priest to be approved for. The first 50 years of his mission, he spent ingratiating himself, then 100 years ostensibly "rooting out the Fellowship's secrets" while awaiting his chance to betray the Red Court.
