PG: combining Neurovore and Knnn.

Edit: Alternate Theory:
--- Quote ---“Whoever called up these phages,” I said, “needed a way to guide them from the Nevernever to the physical world. They needed a beacon, someone who would resonate with a sympathetic vibe. Someone who, like the phages, wanted to make people feel fear.”
Butcher, Jim (2007-02-06). Proven Guilty (The Dresden Files, Book 8) (p. 270). Penguin Group. Kindle Edition.

Lea sent the phages after Molly. We know from as early as Grave Peril that Lea wants Molly; she asks Michael Carpenter for his eldest child. She's high up in Winter and might reasonably be able to command fetches, as Mab's handmaiden and highest servitor.
The "Attack" on Arctis Tor was actually Lea with the Athame (and the Black Council?) attempting to rebel against Mab. Sure, that happened at least more than a year before (prior to Dead Beat, since Lea's imprisoned then) , but what's time in the NeverNever? Mab conquered the attack all on her ownsome, so no probs.
Of course this theory has the problem that Lea was imprisoned at the time, but perhaps she'd given standing orders to the fetches?
Hrm. Perhaps Lea had a standing bargain or deal of some kind that forced Mab to send the fetches.

I feel that if Mab was in the business of kidnapping people to get new debt, the WC woud try to stop her. Now you may say that she's too strong. In fact I'm sure that an alliance between the WC and Summer would be devastating for Winter.

Yeah, but the WC isn't going to rush to defend a budding warlock ! That just makes it fit even more! Molly's no longer an innocent, so nobody's going to defend her .. . except Harry. Or, well, her dad, and his cold iron magic supersword, so maybe this wasn't a perfect plan on her part after all . . . or maybe she planned on trading for the Sword. . .

She has been trapped in the garden for years, and it was still smelling of sulfure at the broken gate. That doesn't seem to fit the timeframe.
EDIT: frankly, I find it maddening that after so many years, we still don't understand why Mab kidnapped Molly.

Or maybe Maeve sends the phage after Molly in order to make her plan work. But then why is Artis Tor defenseless?

As to the first, it's the NeverNever. Theoretically the fight at Arctis Tor could've happened a hundred years prior to the start of the series.
I expect we'll find out more in Cold Days.

--- Quote from: Thork on May 05, 2012, 02:05:16 AM ---There are still a number of questions about PG that I've never seen any good discussion of, much less answers for. Who goes back and locks up Pell's theater for him while he's in the hospital?
--- End quote ---
I had forgotten that:
--- Quote ---I caught my breath a little, and asked, “Anything at Pell’s theater?”
Murphy nodded and crossed the room to pick up two of the candles. “A lot of nothing. Place was locked up tight. Chains on the front doors, and the back door was locked. Sign on the door said they were closed until further notice.”
I grunted. “You’d think Pell would be wild to have the place open, if the convention was providing a significant amount of his income—even if he was in a hospital bed. Hell, especially if he was in a hospital bed.”
“Unless he doesn’t have anyone he trusts to run it for him.”
“But he does have someone he trusts enough to lock it up?” I said. “That doesn’t track. Pell sure as hell didn’t lock up after he was attacked.”
Murphy frowned, but she didn’t disagree with me. “I tried to call him to ask him about it, but the nurse said he was sleeping.”

And then Pell's theater is used as a door by the fetches. Two likely suspects:
* Marling
* the jann
