 		Darker side of Ekats
Book 4 really showed a darker side of the Ekaterina branch. It was already stated that they built the atomic bomb, but the gas chambers used by Adolf Hitler in World War II? That is an incredibly serious affair and it seems Bae doesn't really care about the thousands who died in concentration camps.

By the way, I believe the Ekats have strong ties to Germany. They built the gas chambers and one of their members, Kaiser Wilhelm II, was king of Germany.

By the way, I wonder if Hitler is a Cahill. If he is I wonder what branch he is.

Location: Around the world, to look for the 22nd clue.

 		Well, Adolf might either be Ekaterina or Lucian. He might be Ekaterina because as we know, he used the gas chambers. Bae might not be in charge at that time because in Book 3: The Sword Thief, the letter of assassination for Gordon Oh, it was dated April 22, 1948. We know that Gordon is better than bae, and that's why Bae asked to assasinate him. Maybe Hitler used the gas chamber without the Gordon's permission. He might also be a Lucian because most of the leaders of the world are (or were) Lucians. He might've stole the gas chamber plans. And was ruthless too. like most Lucians. Smile

 		 What I was saying before
I just entered sombrero alistair today, and looked at its profile.
The book 4 message wasn't referring to Winston Churchill.

 		I added the transcript to the Bonus Track from Beyond the Grave to the wiki, with color coding.
http://various.wikibruce.com/39/Book_4
Quote:

Please stand by for a top secret document from the Ekaterina audio archives.
Subhead - kidnappings.
This file contains a recording of 14-year-old Grace Cahill, competing on a radio quiz show, and commentary from Ekaterina operatives at the location.
<game>
<static>
Operative: The Cahill girl is unguarded while on stage. Stand by for futher orders.
<static>
<applause>
Host: And now, for 30 points, the US government keeps something valuable in Ft. Knox, Kentucky. What is it?
<buzz>
Host: Grace?
Grace Cahill: Gold, of course. As well as items removed from Europe for safe keeping because of the war, such as a copy of the Magna Carta, and the Crown of St. Stephen - part of the Hungarian Crown Jewels.
<ding>
Host: CORRECT! Though "gold" by itself would have done fine. Too bad we didn't set up bonus points for that question, not that you need them.
[1:00]Grace Cahill, you are our current leader, going into round 3, worth 750 POINTS!
<organ>
Host: And now, for round 3 of You Betcha, The Wiz Kid Show. Sponsored by Hotters Powdered Vitamin Drink Mix. Does Hotters make you smarter? You Betcha! In case you're just joining us, I'm your host Wink Landers. And our contestants are Martin Brown, age 15, from right here in New York City, in 3rd place with 530 points. <applause> Our lovely English rose, Hillary Vale, age 14, in 2nd place with 620 points. <applause> And Grace Cahill, age 14, from Attleboro, Massachusetts in 1st place with 750 points. <applause>
[1:56]
As you all know, Grace has won 4 weeks in a row, and is going for her 5th win today. If she makes it, she'll set a new You Betcha record. <organ> Grace, you and Hillary attend the same boarding school, is that correct?
Grace: That's right, Wink.
Host/Wink: That must be one heck of a school. Is everybody there as smart as you two?
Grace: I wouldn't think so, no.
Wink: What a sweet kid. On to the final round. Grace, as the leader, you choose the category. Russian Tsars, Ancient Egypt, or Plant Life. Whaddya say, Grace?
Grace: I'll take Ancient Egypt, Wink.
<static>
Operative: This is it. Stand by for authorization to move in.
<static>
Wink: Good. Remember, the first contestant to ring the buzzer gets first crack at the answer. Ready? The topic is Ancient Egypt. The Great Pyramid of Giza was built during the reign of which Egyptian pharoah?
<buzz>
Wink: Grace.
[3:00]
Grace: Cheops.
<ding>
Wink: CORRECT! <organ> Next question. What is the Rosetta Stone?
<buzz>
Wink: Martin.
Martin: Is it the fossil of a flower?
<bzzzt>
Wink: I'm sorry, that is incorrect.
<buzz>
Wink: Grace.
Grace: The Rosetta Stone translates ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs into Greek, allowing us to read the hieroglyphs on the walls inside the pyramids
<ding>
Wink: CORRECT! <organ> Next question. Who was Howard Carter?
<buzz>
Wink: Grace, again.
Grace: Mr. Carter was the British archeologist who discovered the statue of Sakhet, an ancient Egyptian goddess.
<bzzzt>
Wink: Oooh, sorry Grace. That's not correct.
<buzz>
Wink: Hillary.
Hillary: Howard Carter discovered the tomb of King Tutankhamen
<ding>
[4:04]
Wink: CORRECT! <applause> I thought you might know that one, Hillary. Your family lived in Cairo before the War, didn't they?
Hillary: Yes, we did.
<buzz>
Wink: Who just buzzed? I haven't asked a question, yet.
Grace: I did, Wink. Everyone knows Mr. Carter discovered King Tut's tomb, but he found it by accident. He was really looking for the statue of Sakhet. Sakhet was the real prize.
Wink: That's very nice to know, Grace, but the answer we were looking for was King Tut.
Grace: But your answer is not complete.
Wink: That's the answer on my cue card, so that's the one that counts <starts>.
Grace: Your cue card is wrong, Wink.
<laughter>
Wink: Ha ha ha. She's delightful, isn't she folks? 50 points to Hillary. Now for our final bonus question. Hillary, if you answer this correctly, you will take the lead. Grace, if you answer correctly, you will be our winner for a record 5th week in a row!
[5:03]
<buzz>
Wink: Yes, Martin?
Martin: What if I get the answer right?
Wink: I don't think we have to worry about that. <laughter> All right contestants, are you ready? For 500 points, where is the tomb of Queen Hatshepsut?
<xylophone>
<buzz>
Wink: Grace Cahill.
Grace: In Thebes.
Wink: That <pause> Is <pause> CORRECT!
<ding>
Grace Cahill, you are the You Betcha champ for a record fifth week in a row. Remarkable.
Grace: Thank you.
Wink: Tell me Grace, how does a young girl like you know so much about Ancient Egypt?
Grace: My father once worked as one of Howard Carter's assistants.
<static>
Operative: That's what we needed to hear. We have authorization. Move in to take the girl.
<static>
Wink: That's swell. <background> One of our stage hands seems to be having some problems. Everything's fine, folks
[6:00] What's going on back there?
Grace: That's just some of my relatives trying to take me home early, I think. <background> I have the most troublesome relatives.
Wink: You certainly do. Let's wrap this up. <organ> We all look forward to seeing you here again next week for another exciting Whiz Kid hour. Grace, one last thing. How do you keep that brain of yours so healthy and sharp? Do you drink plenty of Hotters Powdered Vitamin Drink Mix?
Grace: <mumbles>Not this again.
Wink: <whispers>Say "You Betcha." Come on, dear. You can do it.
Grace: I'd really rather not. You know, just because I'm young doesn't mean I have no dignity.
Win: Ha ha, isn't she sharp.
<commotion>
