MIB-Intro
All thirteen volumes of The Revelations of Glaaki are flung at the head of a greedy and corrupt Englishman - who's concussion addled mind decides upon an immediate sale to a Glovecleaning Used Bookstore owner in Bristol.

 Most likely. I'm thinkin' that this should be revealed as a cryptic missive from Belial in England to Alzis. in NYC that Alzis may "accidentally" drop before the Investigators.

All plot points are in the quantum flux of discussion now. All things are possible. I want to keep the New York Ghouls on the sidelines so that no contradictions with COUNTDOWN arise.

 PISCES could also just tell DG about it. Depending on the international relations, assuming a post-shan atmosphere of cooperation. Or Alzis could provide the leak, Or ETHOS CMAI, or the Men in Black, or INVISIBLE or all of the above, or some deranged combo of multiple elements.

I kinda want to keep my more outre imaginings out of the mix however.

By air. he could boat over the N. Sea and hide out on an oil rig. He could flee via Chunnel and have Jean Reno in a helicopter following the train (through the Chunnel of course :)

The Bischofe should play Galt's role. This early, I think Galt would better serve as the shadowy figure who gets the handoff of the tome before the PC's can kill the Bischofe.

The Bischofe don't have to be native. They can just consume likeness.

Not bad. The thought of agents in a bunker rapidly becoming part of the
Thames brings a warm feeling to the cockles of my heart.

Instead of Ghouls, EIHORT~! Need cult terrorists and Severn Valley creepy atmosphere. The auction house could be robbed by Glaaki/Y'golonac cultists trying to recover the book, when the Karotechia fill them full of lead.

A good crime to investigate. Maybe the house was owned by an American National in order to justify some jurisdictional stuff here?


MiB - Update
I've arbitrarily decided to have the Gothic Specialist be a reluctant Vatican priest (Father Guido Sarducci, or some such) This gives an immediate connection to the Italian Chapter and may very well lead to the burning of the Vatican archives.
