--- Quote from: Quantus on October 22, 2012, 02:55:42 PM ---Im not sure what you mean by "Knew it would be released in Chicago years in Advance" since it was found in a storage locker from WW2, which I had generally assumed was elsewhere, likely Europe, and not in Chicago proper. But the Kemmlerites knew about the Word because the theif, Mendoza, approached Grevaine about it, then got nervous when he seemed to have access to unnatural resources. Says so right in the book, when Marcone is handing out background.

They had the Native American artifact exhibition set to arrive at the same time as the word was released, and from the sounds of things, Corpsetaker was with the group for years setting it up to arrive at the right time.

Was corpsetaker herself, or just the body she chose for its convenient access?

It's one hell of a coincidence if Corpsetaker wasn't setting it up in advance, and the personality anecdotes about Bartlesby do sound a lot like how Corpsetaker would probably act if forced to go undercover for a while.

I think its implied that the Disciples of Kemmler employed divination & were reading entrails, if I'm not mistaken.

--- Quote from: TheCuriousFan on October 22, 2012, 02:39:29 PM ---I was talking more about how they knew that it would be released in Chicago years in advance, and "those times we disemboweled people for information coughed up the location of the Word" is a lot simpler than the other theories I've heard.

I have, i think, argued for the release of the Word as an elaborate long con dating back to GP enough already without cluttering this thread with it; if you've not seen that notion of mine, PM me and I'll send you a precis.
