So Allain's mother is a computer expert who's last name starts with a 'C'. Sound familiar to anyone?

EDIT- Here's a link for anyone who doesn't understand my not so subtle hints: http://salkfamily.com/shedoesnotthirst/

Interesting that there doesn't seem to be a father figure here.

Also, that they were researching Viendenbourg for years. Why exactly did he give a young woman a map to Viendenbourg? What is Scarlett's purpose in the Castilles' plans? Cover? When did C go missing? Was it before or after the Cube theft? Are Henry and Allain in on the theft? and when did their research on the ionizer commence and for what purpose? If C set up the traces, then she probably can still read Kurt and Scarlett's blogs, assuming she is deliberately undercover and not...unfortunately incapacitated for some reason.

She also could be on Earth.

(The librarian might very well have been thinking of Pietro. Scarlett should find out what Castille knows about his investigation/murder ASAP.)

I think Spankit could be right that Allain's mother was part of the team that 'attempted' the cube theft. All of the clues we've seen point us in that direction, but I guess with all the deceptions that surround this old man it may be best to be little scepticle. Perhaps we can ask Violet to see if there is anything in the library about a Major Castille? Very Happy

Mmm, quite right. That would be my error in misinterpretting what he said. I took:

So, if Allain's mother *was* part of the Cube theft team, then I guess we have to assume:

1. She got herself involved without her husband and son knowing

2. She was (dare I say it) a mole, working on behalf of Henry and Allain

3. They are all nefarious 3P operatives, and we shouldn't trust a word they say.

I get the impression that Henry may be a defector of some kind (perhaps he was up to his neck in 3P operations when he worked for the military, and then got out, having been disgusted by their attitudes - thus, he becomes 'Deep Throat', in effect - but, then again, maybe the PxC military have their own agenda in all this that has nothing to do with the 3P's agenda - which is a worrying thought...)
