Juxtaposition, Who fixed LC?

(1/11) > >>

Ok. We have Murphy as the reason why Harry ends up using Charity's blood to locate Molly via Little Chicago.  She was the one who brings up the idea to Harry.  Then later, Bob reflects on the missed flaw in LC. Immediately after wondering who fixed it, Murphy steps in.  Now of course I'm not saying nonMantled Murphy did it of course.  I do however argue that a Mab/Murphy did.  I was listening to the story on audible and it stood out to me as a weird juxtaposition. 


--- Quote ---“Oh,” he said. “I found something wrong with Little Chicago’s design.”
I swallowed. “Oh. Wow. Bad?”
“Extremely. We missed a transition coupling in the power flow. The stored energy was all going to the same spot.”
I frowned. “That’s… like a surge of electricity going through a circuit breaker, right? Or a fuse box.”
“Exactly like that,” Bob said. “Except that you were the fuse. That much energy in one spot will blow your head off your shoulders.”
“But it didn’t,” I said.
“But it didn’t,” Bob agreed.
“How is that possible?”
“It isn’t,” he said. “Someone fixed it.”
“What? Are you sure?”
“It didn’t fix itself,” Bob said. “When I looked at it a few nights ago, the flawed section was in plain sight, even if I didn’t recognize it at the time. When I looked again tonight, it was different. Someone changed it.”
“In my lab? Under my house? Which is behind my wards? That’s impossible.”
“No it isn’t,” Bob said. “Just really, really, really, really, really, really difficult. And unlikely. He would have had to know that you had a lab down here. And he would have had to know how to get around your wards.”
“Plus intimate knowledge of the design to tinker with it like that,” I said. “To say nothing of the fact that he would have to know it existed at all, and no one does.”
“Really, really unlikely,” Bob agreed.
“Dammit.”
“Hey, I thought you loved a good mystery, Harry.”
I shook my head and started to tell him where to stick his mystery when someone knocked at the door.
Murphy stood on the other side and smiled at me. “Hey.” She held up my shotgun. “Thomas wanted me to bring this by. Said to tell you he was getting his own toys from now on.”

And Bob keeps saying "He."  Later on in the book, Eb reminds Harry "or she" in regards to who is behind the black council, etc but it can be applied here to.

Oh, and while we are on Proven Guilty. I'm going to speculate that Larry Fowler, who I think is a member of the supernatural community himself.  We have woj about some Greek gods going the wrestling route for fame. It would makes sense for some god to go the talk show host route too.  Anyways, I'm thinking that maybe Larry Fowler may have been involved in PG as his name comes up a couple of times in it, when he really doesn't need to come up at all.  He may have been involved in Arctis Tor attack. 

I also think that Mab may have identified one Nemesis agent as Glau and this is why Scarecrow killed him quick.  Who knows there may have been multiple nemesis agents in play at the convention, most trying to subvert Molly or get her executed failing that.  Had she been executed you know Harry and Michael would have gone nuts.

Arjan:
I thought it was Mab acting as Lea, seems obvious to me. She even left a nice comic to read.

raidem:
Well, my theory/connection goes one step further in proposing Murphy as the fixer. (as Mab.)  The juxtaposition may support a Murphy connection.

Fcrate:
Dear God.
