LC and the Outer Gates
morriswalters:
I've been thinking about Mab's display of Marcone's bolt hole when he gets taken in Small Favor. Also thinking about Harry and Grey Cloak in White Knight where Harry almost gets his head taken off by Cowl. Is it just me, or is Cowl's reaction and Gard's reaction to Mab watching in Small Favor really similar. Cowl of course is more violent. But they both sense someone watching. Almost like Mab has access to something like Little Chicago.
--- Quote --- I had shrunk to scale with Little Chicago, my awareness now within the spell rather than in my own body, which stood over the table like Godzilla, murmuring the words of the spell.

Insert Mab in that word picture.
--- Quote ---Then Gard’s head snapped up, looking directly at where Mab currently stood, as if the little snow sculpture could somehow see the titanic form of the Winter Queen looking down upon her.

Kindler:
This is interesting, especially as Little Chicago goes (as far as I can remember) unmentioned except for a casual reference to the table with a cloth thrown over it.
EDIT: I meant to say in Turn Coat, the next book. I don't recall Harry even considering using it to track Thomas.

I think by Turn Coat LC was toast in terms of a current plot device. Unless during the fire somebody carried it off, it's destroyed and I doubt that Harry would take the time to rebuild it. But this use of similar metaphors or phrases is something that turns up every so often.

I agree, like a lot of plot devices that were brought to an end, that is why the book was called, "Changes." Not sure I agree with all of them or liked all of them, but there it is..

I've been speculating about this.
I think LC may have been saved... that is, IF Jim has any further use for it... which I think he may, actually: because of the whole "who fixed LC" mystery that he dropped as a pseudo-throwaway.
But it'd be easy enough for Mab to engineer safety in the sub-basement. A couple of arches of glacial ice supporting a 1' thick slab on the roof of the sub-basement, the fire will burn out up above and most of the lab will survive just fine.
And then Harry gets to discover that his lab is now in Marcone's sub-basement! (q.v. Brighter Future Society)
I can hear the gritting of teeth from several yet-unwritten volumes away...
