  • Question for the Wiki, about Chapter 1, Part 3 :

    When Dr. Diabolik says:

    Valencia, call the lawyers for my front companies, and tell them that, quote, ‘Gold Star loves Arascham’.


    Is "Gold Star" a reference to the Goldstar who appears later in the story, and the space doesn't matter?

    And is "Arascham" a misspelling of "Aracham" of the "IG Aracham" mentioned in the next line? Or the name of an actual character or something?

    ----

    Also, we're / I'm assuming that there is only one Gravewarden, who is mentioned both in Chapter 2 Part 2 to 9 , and Silent Nacht Part 5 ...

    I guess he just lost the skull in a month...

    ----

    So many new villains we've yet to see, and possibly will never see! Really fleshes out the world!

  • Nope, it's a reference to a line from the movie 'Wall Street', where Gordon Gekko is passing along insider information in a single cryptic sentence

  • Is "Helen Smart", always supposed to be "Helen Smart", and "Helena" is a mistake?

    Or she usually cuts off the "a" to sound more professional or something?

  • It should be Helen, not the Capitol of Montana. Typos happen, and the hide like cockroaches, until they skitter across the dinner table at the fancy party for your boss

  • Thanks so much!

    And, this is minor, but still, it's still names...

    For those condemned by the drug committee, in Chapter 2: Part 2 , it's "Burroughs, Murchison and Arvakis"

    But in Chapter 2: Part 1 , it's Barrows, Murchison and Arkavis

    I assume it's the latter, and that it should be the older names that are canon?

    ----

    And just so I'm not constantly nitpicking...

    I assume they're bit characters, and the possible changes in government, won't have big impacts down the line? *shrugs*

    It might help Helen Smart to legalize Solon-3, though...

    Charles Moore, though... Where is he, I wonder? He's working on that strange additive... Likely still in contact with Brigand, who knows his real identity... So... Brigand's plots might be connected to Moore's...
