The Dresden Files > DF Spoilers
Many Questions on Proven Guilty
circe:
What we know; 1. Sandra Marling has been working on this horror con for a year.
2. Madrigal, aka Darby Crane, was booked for a year to appear at the horror con. 3. Madrigal is a member of that sub branch of WCV who get off on fear, can't remember their nsmes, 3. The fetches appear and produce all kinds of fear, that had to have been some kind of psychic buffett.
I can't help but think that Sandra was central to all if this, and who was she working for? Madrigal was set up to take the fall, but for what and for who? It had to to have had something to do with the attack on AT.
We know that Madrigal was working for Cowl. Could Sandra be Kumori?
Who could have known a year ago that Molly was going to develop powers?
I feel that Molly was not central to this at all. This was set up for another purpose and she and Harry messed it up in grand style. Someone is really pissed their plans went down the drain. Cowl, maybe.
Of course, now that Molly has developed these powers, it's just perfect that Harry is there to take her on as an apprentice. And, she has definitely attracted the notice of Mab.

Mab seemed convinced.

Not by my reckoning, when she get's pissed at Harry right before she leaves it always implied something hugely different. (click to show/hide)She's pissed at Harry because TT Harry flung hellfire at her domain. But, because he's not yet that person she can't yet punish him for a future offence.Doesn't prove anything of course. But inference from Dresden's perspective as to the culprit is just as untenable evidence.

--- Quote --- “Why?”I demanded. “Why did you want the Denarians
stopped? Why send the hobs to kill the Archive? Why recruit me
to save the Archive and Marcone in the event that the hobs
failed?”
Mab paused, turned, casually showing off the gorgeous curves
of her calves, and tilted her head at me. “Nicodemus and his ilk
were clearly in violation of my Accords, and obviously planning
to abuse them to further his ambition. That was reason enough
to see his designs disrupted. And among the Fallen was one
with much to answer for to me, personally, for its attack upon
my home.”
“The Black Council attack on Arctis Tor,” I said. “One of them
used Hellfire.”
Mab showed me her snow-white teeth. “The Watchman and I,”
Grimalkin mewled for her, “had a common enemy this day. The
enemy could not be allowed to gain the power represented by
the child Archive.”
I frowned and thought of the silver hand that had batted the
fallen angel and his master sorceries around as if he’d been a
stuffed practice dummy. “Thorned Namshiel.”
Mab’s eyes flashed with sudden, cold fury and frost literally
formed over every surface of the chapel, including upon my
own eyelashes.
“There are others yet who will pay for what they
have done,” Mab snarled in her own voice. It sounded hideous—
not unmelodious, because it was as rich and full and musical
as it ever had been. But it was filled with such rage, such fury,
such pain and such hate that every vowel clawed at my skin,
and every consonant felt like someone taking a staple gun to
my ears.
“I am Sidhe,”she hissed. “I am the Queen of Air and Darkness.
I am Mab.” Her chin lifted, her eyes wide and white around the
rippling colors of her irises—utterly insane. “And I repay my
debts, mortal. All of them.”

Her reaction, to me, reads as confirmation that Harry's guess was correct. Why else would the name of the Fallen cause her rage to ignite?

Erroneous answer? The next part is Harry realizing he had offered the very same retribution by going there. The only clue we have as to the purpose of the AT attack comes from nic muttering about a 'survival instinct' to which I assume he meant N and it wanting out of it's entrapment with Lea... Mmm so, are the things that Mab has frozen over actually all fragments of N kept under ice?
Anyway, it's more an idea of what reaction did attacking AT evoke from a timeline perspective coupled with the fact she moves from a convo to indirect topic of "others yet to pay". Granted... she Sidhe, so indirect is her bag, but it went from Harry's singular to Mab's plural pretty fast. She said more in that distinction than otherwise would have been said replying directly to Harry's assertion on a singular individual/duo. Which I don' count the now dead Host as in need of repayment. Harry cleared that debt presumably acting in her name :)
