Does Marcone have Little Chicago?

(1/12) > >>

vincentric:
We know that Harry's basement survived total destruction in the fire but did Little Chicago survive? If it did the FBI could have moved it or Marcone could have taken it. Namshiel would be able to fix it and Marcone couldn't fail to see how useful a tool it was. He'd get more use from it than Harry. He may have moved it during the castle's construction and not moved it back.

Conspiracy Theorist:
Namshiel would have been around during Changes so it is possible, but following Battle Ground Little Chicago wouldn’t work anyhow as Big Chicago had changed too much in the interim. To get little Chicago Marcone would have had to pull it through the Never Never in Leas domain.

It is likely that if LC survived Marcone wouldn’t have moved it outside the castle

 I agree that most likely little Chicago survived, but when Marcone bought the property to put his castle on, 1] had he taken up the coin yet?  Somehow I doubt it because in Peace Talks if I remember Harry mentions the magic circle, I think Namshiel would have done something with it.
However the big thing I agree with, even if Marcone has it, and Namshiel knows how to use it, it is simply useless because that Chicago no longer exists.

Conspiracy Theorist:
WOJ is that Marcone took up the coin in the helicopter coming back from Demonreach in Turn Coat, so yes.

Marcone may have moved it from the sub-basement to another part of the Castle to create a cell for Thomas and then moved it out when Harry took charge. In either event LC is now out of date so even if Marcone had it running it won’t be now, until it is updated. Given the degree of redevelopment LC may be in a state of flux for the foreseeable future.

My guess if it survived it would have impressed even Namshiel, who was very dismissive of Dresden in Turn Coat but much less so in Battle Ground. Namshiel would have realised Dresden was another magic nerd upon examining LC, not a thug wizard the world generally saw. Bob was impressed by LC, and he had worked for many powerful and subtle wizards in the past, including Kemmler, so it is likely it impressed Namshiel.

SerScot:
I seriously doubt Little Chicago survived the fire intact.
