[Plot] The God Killer Murders
This is the place for the gathering of information, theories, spec, etc.

OK, these "God Killer Murders" have been going on for a while, and I think it's time to put out what we have in a single thread.

First, the background--in numerous articles, murders were made to look like suicides, and people's subcue chips have malfunctioned or been extracted.

1/29 - http://www.deuscity.com/index.php?deus_news_id=27 (unconfirmed)
2/10 - http://www.deuscity.com/index.php?deus_news_id=41 (unconfirmed)
2/17 - http://www.deuscity.com/index.php?deus_news_id=48
2/26 - http://www.deuscity.com/index.php?deus_news_id=56
3/13 - http://www.deuscity.com/index.php?deus_news_id=71
4/21 - http://www.deuscity.com/index.php?deus_news_id=98

Additionally, we have the Second Folio referencing the "God Killer".

The Second Folio here.

-------------------start spec------------------
I think we're seeing a futuristic version of Jack the Ripper, and these crimes are somehow linked to Tara Mercer. My logic is as follows.

The first two stanzas of the Second Folio talk about Phil Moore in no uncertain terms. Yellow District, Filmore man creature, and Ceasar are all references linked to him.

The third stanza talks about his "daughter princess"--I've already gotten confirmation from Chris that Phil had a daughter. Let's assume that daughter is Tara, since it fits with a lot of the details. That would make her "between two pillars" (the Red and Yellow districts).

The fourth and fifth stanzas are the mysteries. It's easy to suspect Thomas as the murderer since he designed the chips and the victims have all been undesirables for the Defense-Corp higher-ups, but the last stanza seems to imply Thomas Mercer will die at the hand of the God Killer.

I only know about the folios OoG, but from what I'm seeing of this one, I think the God Killer might be a woman.

In the last stanza it reads, "A maternal copy with a different soul." So the Killer might look like Tara and won't be, or look like somebody else who is female and high up in DefenseCorp--like that senator from Blue District, though she wouldn't really fit into the rest of the folio's words.

Anyone who wants to can know about the folios (this has come up in conversations with Red Agents before)--

In the deus-city.blogspot.com trailhead, Adam Brackin left a clue that led to his nostredame.blogspot.com journal. In that blog, he has posted both confirmed folio fragments as well as his commitment to go out and find the others.

Make use and be merry.

I actually have my own take on the Tara connection. Personally I think that Jenna Jansen may actually be the daughter. Think about it like this. She had no known legal father which is why she was taken as a ward of the state. After she was made a ward of the state all of her records were completely wiped from the system. Chris has previously said that investigating the identity of the daughter is very dangerous and when I asked him to investigate Jenna Jansen he told me that it would be very dangerous for him to do so and it could result in him being disappeared. She also exists between two pillars, one is the government and the other is potentially the underground. Similarly Tara Mercer - the wife of the head of the communication corporation and several other corporations - has extensive skill at altering and wiping information as well as turning chips on and off, for which magic could be a metaphor thereby making her the Red Witch. Her position makes her ideal in seeking out Jenna because she could probably access erased information. This is why I do not fully expect Chris' connections to pan out in the search and that it will require Tara Mercer to find her.

At least that is my take on it and that is what makes sense to me.

Edited to Add: Ehhem. From Chris Brown. Finally my investigation on Jenna Jansen begins to bear fruit.

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Everything he told me is kind of second hand but he says he has a very reliable source so at least part of it should be true. Jenna Jansen is alive and involved in a Corp program. Officially its an enrichment program and its run by Pancorporate (check the news archive for the full official word).

This official word is real to a certain extent. There are some kids involved in some science programs at Pancorporate, and Jenna's name appears on that list. However, Jenna and five other students are not there ... they apparently have been taken on to an "advanced" program at Defense Corp itself.

Their "enrichment" seems to involve spending weeks of time in the wasteland, given experimental drugs and subjected to various brain-washing techniques. The rumor is that Fujimoto is trying to create a secret squad and that he himself is seeing over this program.

No one knows yet if the program is over or not, or how long its been running and how many kids are involved. Its likely it wasn't a new program when the media talked about it. They probably had a leak and needed to gloss something over.

Personally, I've always taken this line to mean that the "man of Gold" is a twin or had a twin - a "copy with a different soul" - who will be/has been struck down by the "God Killer man". Obviously, it's just a theory seeing as the Folio is so deliberately obtuse, however, that's the best interpretation of the final lines that I can come up with:

Quote:
His flesh walks the street alone
A maternal copy with different soul
The God killer man will strike him down

Might as well make an account, all the posts I've been doing...

New article. Figured I'd toss the link on here.

http://deuscity.com/index.php?deus_news_id=107

All right. I guess I'll throw my speculation out... everyone can stare at me and beat me on the head, I guess.

Maybe--just maybe!--it's Tara Mercer.... or someone that she knows. Because this killer knows way too much about the chips and can get anywhere. Again, like Tara. She has too much power and time on her hands.

I've asked her what does she think about the killer--just making conversation with her. We'll see what comes out of it. If it's anything interesting, I'll put it on her thread.

As for that note, anybody notice that it targeted CULTURECorp, not DefenseCorp. So do we know anybody who would hate them in particular?

Again, I think I'm just stating things everyone knows or something, but I figured it'd be nice to be positive the thoughts were out here.

Culturecorp created the subcue chips, so anyone with a hatred of the chips would naturally target the source.

[SPEC][META]

Maybe the 'God Killer' is (at least partially) a foil to open the Red District to TFA's. If God Killer is moving from the Grey to the Red district and openly targeting the Corps, they're going to be desperate to solve it; so this might just be the prelude to a number of other puzzles...
